Chapter 542: Zhou and Zhao's Plans
After Liu Jingxue left, Zhao Junhao asked Zhou Mingxuan, "Mingxuan, what you asked about Sister Jin just now should not be what you said. You just asked if she was tight-lipped. You should have other plans, right?"
Zhou Mingxuan glanced at Zhao Junhao and said, "You really are the worm in my stomach. I can't hide anything from you.
I did have a plan at the beginning. I wanted to get to know Sister Jin and develop her into a close friend, so that it would be convenient for us to send packages to each other.
But Xiaoxue said that Sister Jin is her source of votes, so we can’t do this, because that would lead to infighting and ruin Xiaoxue’s good fortune.
So, let's be honest and disguise ourselves when sending packages from now on."
Zhao Junhao nodded and said, "You are right, we really can't ruin Xiaoxue's good deeds.
And even if we develop Sister Jin into one of our own, there are so many staff members in the post office, and there are too many people and too many eyes. It won’t make any difference if we develop just one of her, and we still have to disguise ourselves.”
After that, he moved closer to Zhou Mingxuan and whispered, "After hearing Xiaoxue talk about her deal with Sister Jin, do you have any thoughts?"
"What's your idea? What do you mean? Didn't you just say that we can't ruin Xiaoxue's vote source? Are you going back on your word?" Zhou Mingxuan asked.
Zhao Junhao waved his hands quickly, "Don't talk nonsense, how could I do that.
I mean, Xiaoxue can think of exchanging meat for money, but you don’t have any idea.
Over the past few months, I've come to realize that Xiaoxue doesn't like to go out or make friends. When Sister Jin came to her house, she even thought of exchanging her flesh for money. Aren't you tempted?
You said before that we can't always rely on our family for support, we have to find ways to make money on our own. Isn't this a good idea?
With the mountains behind us, we will not lack meat.
I just don’t believe that you have no thoughts or feelings.”
Zhou Mingxuan did not hide his thoughts after his good friend exposed them, "To be honest, I am a little tempted, but I dare not put it into action.
You saw it the last time Xiaoxue took us into the mountains. The wild goats and deer were okay as they couldn’t cause any harm to us, but we couldn’t deal with the wild boars, or even the more powerful wolves and big cats.
There are only two of us, and with our current abilities, if we meet them, we will basically be delivering food to them.
If we want to exchange meat for money, we must have a large quantity, and we must go deep into the mountains. After all, we cannot hunt too many prey outside the mountains, so as not to cut off the villagers' source of meat.
But if we go into the mountains, with our current levels, we'd basically be going to die.
I haven’t lived enough, and I don’t want to become disabled like Zheng Pengcheng at a young age, or even die.”
Zhao Junhao was a little scared after hearing what Zhou Mingxuan said, but he was still unwilling to give up. "You mean, we should give up this way of making money? This is a business with no capital?"
“That’s it for now.
Let's practice the martial arts that Xiaoxue taught us. Didn't Xiaoxue say that if we practice hard, we will be able to go hunting alone in the mountains by this time next year?
Let's work harder, improve our skills, and find a way to get two good shotguns. We'll see how the situation develops then.
Even if you want to make money, you have to ensure your own safety.
Moreover, even if we want to do this business in the future, we cannot go to the black market. That place is too unsafe and we may be targeted if we are not careful.
We should still develop some safer customer sources like Xiaoxue, which may result in less shipments, but it is safer.”
Zhao Junhao thought about it and felt that what Zhou Mingxuan said made sense. This kind of thing really couldn't be rushed.
"Then let's do as you said and take the time to practice martial arts, improve our skills, and get two good shotguns.
As for developing a safe and stable source of customers, I think we can start developing personal connections now, and then these personal connections will become our safe and stable source of customers.”
"Then let's not be idle for the next half month. Let's first prepare the firewood for our cowshed to get through the winter, and then go collect more mountain products and send them to our families when the time comes.
Don’t waste time when you go to town. In addition to sending packages, see if you can take the opportunity to meet more people. " Zhou Mingxuan concluded.
Zhao Junhao reminded, "Also, next time you go to town, remember to find out the verdict of Su Youcai and Su's uncle. Xiaoxue is still waiting.
It has been a while since Zheng Pengcheng was taken back, and the results should have come out. As for the Zheng family, how is the situation now? Next time we go to town, we should call and ask.
It would be depressing if their family turned around without our knowledge.”
Zhou Mingxuan slapped his forehead in annoyance, "If you hadn't reminded me, I would have almost forgotten about Zheng Pengcheng.
The last time I called back, I just said that Zheng Pengcheng's wound had relapsed and he had been undergoing treatment, which had delayed the investigation and interrogation, so it had been delayed again and again.
I even had some suspicion that the man deliberately let the wound relapse and deliberately delayed time so that Mr. Zheng would find a chance to save him.
But I guess his intentions must have been seen through, so the same trick won't work next time.
Next time we go to town, we'll have to call back and ask if there's any result."
After Liu Jingxue left, her spiritual awareness still covered the entire production team, and she heard the conversation between Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao.
Seeing that the two men gave up the idea of targeting Sister Jin, she felt satisfied. She thought that these two men were sensible, otherwise she really didn't know where to get the tickets.
When she heard that the two men were cautious and did not immediately go into the mountains to hunt and exchange meat for money, she still admired it, which showed that they were not reckless people.
In fact, if I didn't have so many treasures and tens of thousands of dollars in cash to back me up, I would also want to go hunting for money.
But I don't want to take risks in the black market. I'm not the kind of person who is smooth-talking and eloquent. I even have some social phobia. I'm really not cut out for business.
“Forget it, I’d better stay here quietly and wait until I’m released, then I can trade the medicine for money.
When the time comes, I will invest in the technology and not worry about anything else. I will let these two people make money for me."
Liu Jingxue was not worried at all that these two people would steal her money and think that the magic she learned was fake. When the time came, she would put a ban on them to ensure that they would not lose a single cent.
That night, Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao came to Liu Jingxue's place after dark. The three of them worked together to transport the bacon that was divided among them and sent a lot to the cowshed.
As for Liu Jingxue, at her request, only a small amount was left. Some of it would be sent to her eldest brother, and the rest was said to be left for her to eat. However, she did not plan to eat it herself and planned to trade it to Sister Jin later.
The jar for pickling meat is still left at Liu Jingxue's place. After all, a large amount of meat needs to be stockpiled before winter, so it will probably be handled by her at that time.
