Starting out as a drug dealer in 1988

Deep down, if Zheng Xi hadn't stopped him, Zhao Wenhao would really want to destroy this bastard.

He actually set his sights on his own sister, not only trying to seduce her but also to get her money. Zhao Wenhao couldn't vent his anger if he didn't teach such a person a lesson.

But Zheng Xilai is from the Public Security Bureau after all, so it is naturally impossible for him to let Zhao Wenhao vent his personal anger in front of so many people.

"Don't worry, go back to the police station and I'll make arrangements."

Zheng Xilai pulled Zhao Wenhao aside and spoke in a low voice.

"Thank you, Zheng Suo."

After getting the guarantee, Zhao Wenhao's anger finally subsided.

As for what happened next, he didn't need to ask.

Four people, the gang was caught in one fell swoop.

Zhao Wenhao believed that the police station would handle the case thoroughly and would naturally give them the punishment they deserved.

That night, everyone went to the police station.

Those who need to take notes should take notes, and those who need to make confessions should make confessions.

Soon, some people could not bear the pressure and confessed their hideouts and the crimes they had committed.

At this time, Zhao Wenhao had already brought Zhao Wenjing back to the rental house.

"Sister, don't think too much. People like this deserve what they get. Just be more careful in the future."

Seeing Zhao Wenjing remaining silent, Zhao Wenhao could only comfort her.

Unfortunately, Zhao Wenjing remained silent, and no one knew what she was thinking.

It's good to figure this kind of thing out. For the moment, Zhao Wenhao was powerless to do anything.

He believed that as time went by, Zhao Wenjing would take this experience as a lesson.

And that is exactly what happened.

After just half a month, Zhao Wenjing finally stopped being as silent as she had been in the past few days. She regained her former brilliance and seemed to have forgotten the past experience.

To be frank, Zhao Wenjing and Song Zhisheng didn't spend a lot of time together. Maybe Zhao Wenjing did have feelings for him, but it's not clear how deep they were.

Therefore, when she slowly figured it out, she returned to the past.

Time flies and never comes back.

More than half a year had slipped away like fine sand through my fingers, and the calendar showed that it was already March 1990.

During this New Year, Zhao Wenhao basically stayed in Xuanzhou, accompanying his sister in the clothing business.

As for the sales of creative T-shirts and T-shirts, they have started again.

Anyway, I have a lot of creative ideas on hand. Once the previous batch is almost digested, I will naturally launch new products.

Among them, two batches of medicinal materials in August and November were also put on the market.

With the lessons learned from the past, drug dealers have become quite cautious about purchasing Chinese herbal medicines in Ping'an County.

In this way, Zhao Wenhao almost monopolized most of the herbal medicine market in Ping'an County.

It was not until the end of the year that the relevant departments of the county government once again issued a request to raise prices, and profits plummeted.

"Wenhao, are you still going to do the herbal medicine business?"

"Oh, I'm going to give up."

"That's fine, it's also good for us siblings to make clothes here."

"I have no choice but to give up. The net profit is only 18%. After all this trouble, I might as well continue making clothes."

In the rental house, Zhao Wenhao was holding the account book, speechless.

As early as the second half of last year, the county government’s Agriculture Bureau began to write a report on the difficulties Ping’an County is facing in purchasing Chinese herbal medicines.

Although the specific implementation plan had been discussed within the government, it was ultimately delayed until December 1989.

Currently, the purchase price of Chinese herbal medicines at various purchasing points has begun to rise sharply. In addition, at the Yangzhou Chinese Herbal Medicine Distribution Center, the prices of Bupleurum and Honeysuckle have also fallen.

However, Angelica dahurica, Xanthium sibiricum and Ephedra have seen significant increases.

But the problem is that in Ping'an County, the production of these three herbs is not high. Even if we start planting them this year, we have to wait until after May.

In this way, the cost of acquisition increases and the selling price decreases. Calculated in this way, the overall profit will naturally be greatly reduced.

Is 18% a high net profit? Of course it is still pretty good.

But the problem is that Zhao Wenhao, who is used to high profits, doesn't care about these.

As the saying goes, it is tasteless to eat, but a pity to throw it away. Zhao Wenhao is now struggling between these two states of mind.

However, this state of mind is relative.

You know, for the past six months, Zhao Wenhao has practically monopolized the purchase of Bupleurum and Honeysuckle in most of Ping'an County, benefiting the entire Zhaojiayu Island and even some of the villagers in Hengtang Town.

For example, Zhao Dagou and Zhao Mingliang made a profit of more than 8000 yuan in just half a year by following Zhao Wenhao.

And that's just the two of them.

Among the more than 2000 households in Zhaojiayu, almost none of them earn less than yuan in profit.

As for Zhao Wenhao, his savings have increased from less than 50 yuan to 92 yuan now, making him the richest man in Ping'an County.

If outsiders knew this, there would be countless people pointing fingers at him and scolding him for complaining without any reason.

"Sister, I've made up my mind. I'll inform Zhao Dagou and Zhao Mingliang about the relevant channels and ask them to do the herbal medicine business on my behalf. I'm completely quitting this business."

Zhao Wenhao did not hesitate any longer. He slammed the table and announced his decision loudly.

Hearing this, Zhao Wenjing certainly seemed very happy.

She hoped that her brother could concentrate on his clothing business, otherwise she would be a little scared if she were to support it alone.

Unfortunately, Zhao Wenhao's happiness lasted less than half a minute before he said again, "I plan to return to Ping'an County and open a factory to produce small appliances such as hot water heaters, electric kettles, and water heaters."

"What is a hot pot? An electric kettle? A kettle that uses electricity to boil water? And what is a water heater?" Zhao Wenjing was completely confused and didn't understand what his brother was saying.

In fact, electric kettles have long been produced and used abroad. As for the fast-heating kettle, I haven't seen it yet. It's probably a later invention of the Chinese.

Electric water heaters also already exist.

In October 1988, my country's independently developed electric water heater rolled off the production line.

It’s just that due to its large size, inconvenient installation, high power consumption, safety hazards such as electrical leakage, and high price, it is not widely used.

In his previous life, Zhao Wenhao had been in the small appliance business for five or six years, so he had a good understanding of the structure of water heaters.

If he were given some materials now, he would be able to assemble a simple water heater by himself.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Zhao Wenhao still plans to start development from this aspect.

As for other small appliances, we will see the specific situation when the time comes.

"Sister, don't worry about this." Zhao Wenhao didn't try to explain, as it was impossible to explain clearly at this moment. "I still have to go back in a few days, and then I will definitely hand this over to you. If you feel that you can't handle it alone, you can hire someone to help you."
