Chapter 863: Chapter 863: He Wants to Be Your Brother-in-Law
"If you plan to do it on a small scale, you can source goods from Sea City. But if you want to grow big and strong, you should head to the largest electronics market in Shenzhen. Though it’s only a few years old, it’s the most comprehensive electronics market in the country."
"Shenzhen?" Tang Jun had never been there, but if he remembered correctly, his sister had been there multiple times and even had collaborations with Shenzhen.
After some discussion with Leng Hua, Tang Jun called Tang Yue in the evening. Upon calling, he first chatted with Zhang Hualian and Tang Zhengde. When it was Tang Yue’s turn to answer, Tang Jun asked, "Sis, are Mom and Dad still in the living room?"
"No, they went out for a walk after taking your call." Tang Yue raised her eyebrows and teased, "Why, did you do something bad? Afraid of getting scolded?"
"Sis, I’m soon going to be a college student, why would I do bad things?" Tang Jun immediately retorted, "Sis, I want to ask about the electronics market in Shenzhen. Brother Leng said the largest electronics market is there."
Tang Jun rambled on about what Leng Hua had said and also mentioned their plan to open an electronics store.
"Sis, we’ll open one store first. If it goes well, I think we can open more in Sea City. There are several universities in Hai City, and we could open one of these electronics stores nearby each, which would be convenient for students and would also generate considerable profit."
Tang Jun’s argument was well-organized, from market research to renting space to sourcing goods. Even without seeing their efforts firsthand, Tang Yue could feel their hard work and dedication. She said, "Shenzhen does indeed have the largest electronics market. If you want to go, I can help contact Uncle Song, and having someone familiar there would be safer."
"You four boys, I know each of you has quite a bit of money, but remember, when you’re outside, it’s better to play it safe. In critical situations, life is more important than money." Tang Yue reminded them. She didn’t oppose the four going to Shenzhen; after all, boys should go out and explore. Staying home all the time wasn’t the way.
As long as they stayed safe, Tang Yue felt that was good.
"Sis, you’re the best," Tang Jun said with emotion. "Don’t worry, with the four of us, who would dare mess with us? If it comes to a fight, we might not be the ones losing."
"Do you have enough money? If not, remember to tell me," Tang Yue said.
"Okay, sis, don’t worry, I’ll definitely let you know." Tang Jun grinned, "Contact Uncle Song. Having an acquaintance helps."
"Okay." Tang Yue nodded.
After hanging up the phone, Tang Jun told Zhang Qiang about it. Zhang Qiang had no objections. Most of his money came from his parents. Over the years, he hadn’t spent recklessly and managed to save US$ 5,000, which he planned to invest entirely.
Tang Jun had a bit more money than Zhang Qiang and planned to invest more, but he had to see everyone’s opinion.
After deciding to go to Shenzhen, they started thinking about how much each would invest. They discussed and decided everyone would pitch in US$ 5,000, totaling US$ 20,000. It’s not a lot, but definitely not a small amount either.
Walkmans and electronic dictionaries are not cheap, and tapes are somewhat cheaper. But there’s no requirement to buy a huge stock, right?
After deducting rent and simple renovations, the remaining money could all go into stocking goods. If eventually it wasn’t enough, they could each chip in a bit more.
Tang Yue called back that same day, saying the arrangements in Shenzhen were made, and Tang Jun and the others could proceed.
Tang Yue wanted to talk to Tang Jun about Lian Qingyang, but Tang Jun seemed in a hurry and hung up. Early the next morning, the four set off for Shenzhen.
No, to be precise, they added one more: Leng Hua.
"If you four go, you might not even know if you’re being scammed." Leng Hua insisted on going along; otherwise, Xiao Yu wouldn’t be at ease.
"Uncle Leng." Xie Tiantian clung to Leng Hua reluctantly, looking even closer than with her own father.
"Tiantian, Uncle Leng and your uncle have some business in Shenzhen," Mo Xiaoyu coaxed Xie Tiantian. After years of hard work, she had firmly established herself in Sea City. With three branches of Mingyue Clothing, each had staff, and there was no need for haggling; the bookkeeping was simple.
What Mo Xiaoyu needed to do was clear accounts, clear the inventory, and see if any styles needed restocking.
"Tiantian, Uncle will bring you back a doll," Leng Hua kissed Xie Tiantian, coaxing her. "This time, Uncle will bring you a huge doll, bigger than you, okay?"
"Is there such a big doll?" Xie Tiantian clung to Leng Hua’s neck, eyes wide open in disbelief.
The house was already piled high with dolls, but indeed none were bigger than her.
"Yes." Leng Hua confirmed, and after much coaxing, he managed to soothe Xie Tiantian and hopped on the train with them.
Tang Jun quietly asked, "Weidong, does Brother Leng want to be your brother-in-law?"
He remembered how Meng Siyu used to charm the Tang Family the same way.
Now, if not for Mo Xiaoyu, would Leng Hua have traveled thousands of miles with them for stock purchasing in Shenzhen?
"Brother Leng seems nice, treats my sister well, and is good to Tiantian too. But... I think more observation is needed." Mo Weidong whispered. "Xie Quan seemed honest too, but still let my sister down in the end."
This Leng Hua, he felt, still needed more watching.
"Yeah, makes sense. This trip to Shenzhen is a good opportunity." Tang Jun whispered, Wei Jiajie agreeing, "Yes, Sister Xiaoyu is beautiful, Tiantian is adorable. Brother Leng seems alright, but he does need more observation."
The four of them, with two sets of thoughts, headed to Shenzhen.
Jing City.
At Tang Yue’s home, a special guest arrived. The woman, wearing a large coat and mask, came rushing in like a thief.
"Zhang Minmin, are you turning into a thief?" Tang Yue teased. After not seeing each other for a while, Zhang Minmin had become a big star. She looked different from when they met in senior high, still proud, but much more charming. Now she had the right to be proud.
But in front of Tang Yue, Zhang Minmin was still that adorable girl who loved hot pot.
"Xiao Yue, I’m not a thief. I’m just trying to avoid being recognized. You have no idea, when people see me, it’s like flies to a..." Zhang Minmin stopped, shook her head, and said, "No, I’m not a...it’s just scary how they swarm over. It’s terrifying."
If one person really liked her and wanted her autograph, she’d be delighted. Three or five people, she’d be happy too.
