The Beginning of the World: Going to the Countryside as an Educated Youth

After finishing his work, Zhao Dongchuan bought a hard sleeper ticket to Shenzhen and boarded the train to Shenzhen again.

This time he was luckier and got a ticket for the lower berth.

While on the way, Zhao Dongchuan was still reading books and doing exercises at the same time.

People around him were quite curious about him and looked at him from time to time. His roommates also asked him all kinds of questions, trying to find out where he came from.

Zhao Dongchuan made up some random information to get away with it and ignored them. Three days passed quickly and he came to Shenzhen again.

After arriving, he went to the guesthouse where he had stayed before and checked into a room. Zhao Dongchuan washed up, took out the food he brought from the space, had a simple meal, and then went straight to the "black market" near Luohu.

Wearing system glasses to conceal his identity, Zhao Dongchuan paid the "protection fee" and entered the market as if he was familiar with the place.

After observing the situation in the market, there seemed to be no major changes. That was right, as it had only been a month since he last came. In addition, the people running the market here were quite professional and the area was well protected.

When I came to the place where I met "Li Dadan" last time, I found that the place had been occupied by someone else and the stall owner was not Li Dadan.

Come to think of it, the professionals who sell parallel imported goods are also very busy and won’t set up their stalls here every day waiting for him.

Zhao Dongchuan was not discouraged. He walked around the market and found that there were stalls selling electronic watches, but there were not many stocks, the styles were not good-looking, and the quality seemed to be poor.

Zhao Dongchuan looked around and found that the price offered was higher than Li Dadan's.

It seems that Li Dabing is not just bragging, he really wants to find a way to do long-term business.

I guess there is indeed a "big brother" behind it who has done well in Hong Kong and has his own factory. Otherwise, there would not be a continuous supply of goods with decent quality.

Thinking of this, he decided to wait for Li Dabing. When he left last time, he said that he usually came here to set up the stall on Wednesdays. Today is Monday and there are still two days left, so he might as well wait for him.

In the following two days, Zhao Dongchuan went to the market regularly to see if Li Dabing was there, and spent the rest of his time in the guesthouse, doing exercises, reading books, and practicing "Introduction to Qigong".

He didn't want his two friends in Shenzhen, Li Yuer and Hu Jianjun, to know that he was here. After all, it was troublesome to come all the way here. If he came too often, people might suspect that he had ulterior motives. There was no need to take that risk.

On Wednesday, Zhao Dongchuan came to the market and saw Li Dabing in another corner of the market.

This Li Dabing still looked the same as when we first met, with a middle-parted hairstyle, fashionable clothes, and a pair of frog-eye glasses.

At this time, he was talking to a customer who wanted a radio. The customer had not agreed on the price and was still haggling. Finally, Li Dabing lowered the price a little and the deal was done.

Zhao Dongchuan watched Li Dabing put a wad of money into the bag around his waist and walked up to him.

"Boss Li, long time no see. I see the business is good. Make a fortune!"

"Haha, excuse me for making fun of you, brother. It's just a small business, a small business!" Li Dabing looked at Zhao Dongchuan a little dazedly, obviously not remembering him.

"It seems that Boss Li is a forgetful person and has forgotten me!" Zhao Dongchuan teased.

"To be honest, I really can't remember it. Brother, please remind me."

"I came from the north. I took 20 electronic watches from you a month ago. Boss Li, please think about it again!"

"Oh, oh, it's you. I said you looked like me, but I didn't dare to recognize you!" Li Dabing said as he quickly took out a small stool and handed it to Zhao Dongchuan.

Zhao Dongchuan didn't hesitate to take the stool and they started chatting.

After knowing that Zhao Dongchuan came to get the goods, Li Dabing was not surprised. Nowadays, the sales of goods in mainland China were still very good, and he also had several long-term partners.

"You want 200 watches?" Li Dabing said a little surprised.

These watches are not too many, but not too few either. There are not many people who can afford them these days.

"Let me tell you, the price I gave you last time was already a low price. I really want to be your friend. Although you really want 200 pens this time, the price cannot be lowered any further!!!" Li Dabing said seriously.

"I understand. Thanks to Boss Li for your consideration. I'll keep the original price!"

Seeing how sensible Zhao Dongchuan was, Li Dabing really wanted to make friends with him. Although he just felt that Zhao Dongchuan was a good person and sold him a good deal before, for now, he thought that this person was okay.

Li Dabing simply closed his stall and left the market with Zhao Dongchuan. On the way, he didn't tell Zhao Dongchuan where he was going or what he was going to do, he just asked Zhao Dongchuan to follow him.

Although Zhao Dongchuan was wondering in his heart what this kid was trying to do, he was skilled and courageous, with extraordinary physical fitness, grappling techniques and breath-concealing skills. Even if Li Dabing wanted to trick him, he was not afraid.

If that really happens, he wouldn't mind teaching Li Dabing how to be a good man.

Fortunately, Li Dabing seemed to just want to test his courage and was not really trying to trick him, so he took him to an alley near the train station.

"This is where I live, come in." Li Dabing took him to a small courtyard.

Zhao Dongchuan was naturally not afraid and followed him in.

Li Dabing nodded secretly. This man was indeed courageous, daring to take risks and fight hard. He had capital and ideas, so he could be a close friend.

He never imagined that Zhao Dongchuan was a "cheater" and his behavior was beyond common sense.

From a room, Li Dabing dragged out a large snakeskin bag, opened the pockets, and found a bunch of electronic watches inside.

"This is the smuggled goods I just got from my brother last week. Count them and see if they are enough. They are all here!" Li Dabing said, then sat down and lit a cigarette for himself.

Zhao Dongchuan didn't waste any time and just started ordering.

"I estimate there are about 250 here. I take 200. It won't bother you, right?"

"It's okay. We'll make it if we don't have it. This thing is very easy to produce. It's just a little troublesome to get off the boat and come over here, but it's not a big deal. We have the strength to do it!!" Li Dabing said with a smile.

Zhao Dongchuan groped in his backpack and actually took out a large bag from the space and put all 200 watches into it.

He took out a stack of Great Unity notes from his backpack and gave them to Li Dabing, who counted them quickly. He quickly counted the 3000 Great Unity notes and put them into his pocket.

"Brother, you are so courageous. Today we are officially acquainted. My name is Li Xiaojie, also known as Li Dadan. We will be friends from now on. You will get to know me as you get to know me better!"

"My name is Han Li, nicknamed Han Old Devil!" Zhao Dongchuan said as he shook hands with Li Xiaojie.

Han Lao Mo? Are you serious about this nickname?

Seeing Li Xiaojie's strange expression, Zhao Dongchuan couldn't help but laugh.

"Hahaha, just call me Xiao Han. I made up that nickname. I don't have a nickname. This is just to make myself look more powerful!"

"You, my brother, are really interesting. It's okay. Xiao Han is Xiao Han. Let's get along slowly!" As he said that, he wanted to take Zhao Dongchuan to go to a restaurant.
