Reborn in the 1970s, Zhang Sanniu's new life

The next day, after getting up and washing up, San Niu and Liu Hao went to the dining room to eat with their family!

"My dear daughter, Liu Hao, come and eat quickly. Today I steamed some shrimp and egg custard. Try it and see if it's good. I also added a lot of sesame oil," Zhang Laosan said.

San Niu scooped up a spoonful, ate it, and said, "Dad, this steamed egg you made is especially delicious!"

"It's delicious, so eat more. I'll cook for you often in the future," Zhang Laosan said.

"Okay, thank you, Dad," San Niu happily ate the steamed egg!

"Um, can I have a bite too? Erniu wants some too!"

"Alright! I'll scoop a spoonful for you and your eldest sister. I've made a small amount today, just try it. Let your third sister eat more; she's exhausted every day. Zhang Laosan was reluctant to give her any, so he only scooped a small spoonful for Da Niu and Er Niu!"

The second sister didn't dare to say she wanted to eat anymore. After they finished eating, they hurried off to school!

After San Niu and the others finished eating, they started loading clothes into the car. Once the clothes were loaded, they drove off to sell them!

Soon, they arrived at the foreign trade store!

A few people started by tying bamboo poles together, hanging clothes, and selling them. In just one or two hours, San Niu and her friends had sold out both cartloads of clothes!

San Niu said, "Dad, Brother Hao, Aunt, you can finish up! I'm exhausted, I'm going to sit down and rest!"

“Okay, honey, you rest! We’ll pack up,” Liu Hao said.

At this moment, a man approached and said, "Gentlemen, I am the manager of this store. I would like to discuss a business deal with you. I wonder which of you can make the decision?"

“I can make the decision. I don’t know, Manager, what kind of business do you want to discuss with us?” San Niu stood up and asked.

"Why don't we talk in my office?" the manager said.

“Okay! Wait a moment, I need to say a few words to them,” San Niu said.

San Niu walked up to the car and said, "Dad, Aunt, Hao-gege and I have some things to take care of. You should drive home first!"

"Okay, then we'll head back. Zhang Laosan, drive off with your aunt!"

San Niu and Liu Hao followed the manager to the store's manager's office!

"Please have a seat, ladies. Have some tea. The manager will pour a cup of tea for each of them and place it in front of them."

San Niu picked up her teacup, finished her tea, put the cup down, and said, "Manager, what kind of business do you want to discuss with us? You can just say so!"

The manager looked at San Niu and said, "Then I'll get straight to the point. I observed your clothing sales today, and I really like your clothes. So I want to buy some clothes from you and put them in all my stores!"

"Are there any stores left, even if the manager is somewhere else?" San Niu asked.

“Yes, I not only have several stores in Beijing, but also in Shanghai and other major cities,” the manager said.

"Oh, it seems the manager is not only very capable, but also very powerful. I just wonder how many clothes he plans to buy, and at what price he's willing to pay," San Niu said.

"Then let me ask how many clothes you have left, and at what price are you willing to sell them to me?" the manager said.

“Well, we have about 200,000 sets of men’s and women’s suits and casual wear. We also have over 100,000 summer clothes ready. I don’t know how many you need. If you need a lot, the price can be cheaper. If you need a little, the price won’t be much cheaper. As you know, we don’t have to worry about selling our clothes. We don’t even have enough to sell for ourselves. Besides, all our clothes are designed by myself. There are no similar ones outside,” San Niu said.

"You designed it all yourself. The manager doesn't quite believe that someone so young can be so capable!"

"Manager, how about this? I'll invite you to my house so you can see some of the summer clothes we make ourselves. That way you'll be more convinced, and once you've seen the clothes, we can discuss the rest," San Niu said.

"Okay, that's for the best. You've thought of everything," the manager said.

"Alright, manager, please come with us!" San Niu said.

When Sanniu and the others arrived at the parking area outside, Sanniu said, "Manager, are you coming with us in the same car, or are you driving yourself?"

"I'll drive myself. You guys go ahead, I'll just follow you," the manager said.

"Okay, we'll head out first. San Niu and Liu Hao will drive ahead, and the manager will follow behind in his car!"

They soon arrived at San Niu's house. San Niu and Liu Hao got out of the car and said, "This is my home. Manager, please come in!"

"You live here! It's beautiful!" the manager said, looking around the house.

"It's alright, all the houses around here are like this, they're all pretty much the same," San Niu said.

"Oh, your house is a courtyard house! It must be very comfortable to live in a house like this," the manager said.

"It's quite comfortable, and even with a lot of people, there's plenty of room, which is very convenient," San Niu said!

“Manager, look, this is where our workers make clothes. They’re making summer clothes right now. Look at these hanging here, they’re all the summer styles we make. I believe my designs are absolutely beautiful and fashionable, and the fabrics are all of exceptional quality. So our clothes are all high-end. If we put them in your export store, they’ll definitely fetch a good price and sell very well,” San Niu said.

The manager carefully examined all the clothes on the rack!

The manager said, "I'm very satisfied with your clothes. I'd like to have both the suits and the summer uniforms!"

“Okay, let’s go to the backyard, sit down and talk properly. Not just clothes, we have an appliance factory, with washing machines and refrigerators, I think we can talk about those too,” San Niu said!

"Oh, then I need to sit down and talk properly. Manager, follow San Niu and Liu Hao to the backyard!"

Upon arriving at the living room of San Niu's room, San Niu said, "Manager, please have a seat!"

Liu Hao poured a cup of tea for everyone and placed it in front of San Niu and the manager.

"Young lady, I didn't expect you to be so capable. You can even make washing machines and refrigerators," the manager said.

"There's no other way. If you want to make money, you have to do what others can't do, and do what others can't make. Otherwise, how can you make money?" San Niu said.

"Hmm, what you said makes a lot of sense. If I wanted all the clothes in your house, what price would you offer me?" the manager asked.

“I want them all. I’ll give you the lowest price, so don’t try to bargain. A men’s suit is 190 yuan, a women’s suit is 180 yuan, and casual wear is 130 yuan each. All 40 summer outfits are at this price. If you don’t agree to this price, I won’t sell them to you,” San Niu said.

"Okay, we'll go with your price. Give me a list," the manager said.

San Niu got up, took a notebook and pen, wrote down the unit price and handed it to the manager!

"Manager, please take a look," San Niu said.

"Hmm, not bad, that's fine. So, what are the prices for your washing machines and refrigerators, manager?"

"Manager, the washing machine is 630 yuan each. I can't give you a quote for the refrigerator today because we just started making them, and I've been too busy these past few days. We haven't even had a meeting to discuss it yet. How about this? I'll come see you again tomorrow. Okay about the refrigerator!" San Niu said.

"Okay, I'll bring some people over to pick up the clothes tomorrow," the manager said.

“Sure, if you need a vehicle, I have a few trucks that can deliver goods for you,” San Niu said.

"That's great! Then we don't need to wait until tomorrow. We can start after lunch, checking the goods and loading them onto the truck," the manager said.

"Okay, then the manager can stay at my place for dinner! That would be more convenient," San Niu said.

"Then we'll have to make an exception," the manager said.

"Then I'll make a call from your house, and I'll have someone bring the money and people so we can check the goods," the manager said.

"Okay, I'll take you there to make the call," San Niu said, then took the manager to make the call.

The manager called, and San Niu came to the kitchen and said, "Dad, Mom, please cook a few more dishes. We have guests eating at our house today!"

“Okay, I’ll do it right now,” Wang Cuihua said!

"Girls, what does that manager want with you?" Zhang Laosan asked.

"Dad, the manager bought all our clothes. Now we don't have to work so hard selling clothes anymore," San Niu said.

“I’ll take them all, that’s great. Sigh, I’ve been so worried about your health these past few days. Now that’s good, you don’t have to go out to sell clothes anymore, and you can finally get some rest,” Zhang Laosan said.

“Yes, that’s what I think too. My body is still too weak. I’m afraid that if I sell clothes for a few more days, I’ll get sick from exhaustion,” San Niu said.

"Well, that's for the best. Go and rest! I'll call you when the food is ready," Zhang Laosan said.

San Niu came over and chatted with the manager!

The manager asked, "I don't know, what's the girl's name?"

“Oh, my surname is Zhang, and I’m the third child in my family, so I’m called Zhang San Niu. You can just call me San Niu. I don’t know your surname, so how should I address you?” San Niu said.

"My surname is Li, and my name is Li Wencheng. I'm older than you, so just call me Brother Li!" said Manager Li.

"Okay, Brother Li, are you a local?" San Niu asked.

"Yes, I'm a local. My family lives on North Street. San Niu, how much would a house like yours cost, Manager Li?"

“We just bought our house last winter, furnished, for 250,000 yuan. The owner was in a hurry to go abroad, so we got a relatively cheap price,” San Niu said.

"Two hundred and fifty thousand, including furniture, is quite cheap. San Niu, do you know anyone who sells houses? I'd also like to buy a house like this to live in," Manager Li said!

“Oh, you’ve come to the right place. I know Director Guo at the housing management office. I can take you to her. Let me tell you, we’ve bought a lot of houses, all at very low prices. Director Guo helped us buy them all. But you have to give her two hundred yuan for each house as a service fee. That way, we can save tens of thousands of yuan by buying a house together,” San Niu said.

"Really? That's great! I'll come see you tomorrow morning. Could you please take me there?" Manager Li said.

“These are all minor matters, not a big deal. I helped all my friends buy their houses. Together, we’ve bought more than twenty houses, some with two courtyards, some with three, and some with four,” San Niu said.

"Oh, why are you buying so many?" Manager Li asked.

“Some people buy them to live in. Like my family, we bought quite a few. We bought them while houses were cheap and will keep them to make money in the future,” San Niu said.

"Do you think the house price will rise in the future?" Manager Li asked.

“I think it will definitely grow, and it will be extremely expensive. If Brother Li has a lot of money, he can buy several sets and save them to make a lot of money in the future,” San Niu said!

"Make a lot of money, I'll go back and think about it carefully," Manager Li said!

"The food is ready. Please come and eat, guests!" said Zhang Laosan.

"Okay, Dad, let's go eat, Brother Li!" San Niu said.

San Niu and the others arrived, sat down in the dining room, and began to eat!

Liu Hao said, "Brother Li, wanna drink? Want some alcohol?"

"Let's not drink anymore. I need to wait a bit; I have to drive back. We can drink another time, Manager Li said!"
