Chapter 1120: Spring Heart
Chen Xueru was wearing a cheongsam and a fur waistcoat. When she saw Lin Hao, her eyes suddenly lit up.

“What a rare guest!” Then he came to the four people with a smile and greeted them:
“Mr. Lin, Mrs. Lin, and Huairu, you haven’t come to our store for a long time!”

“Sister Xueru, long time no see!” Mu Chunhua greeted with a smile, and Qin Huairu smiled and called out, “Sister Xueru!”

Looking at the passionate Chen Xueru, Lin Hao smiled and joked: “It’s not like we get married every day, how can we come here every day!”

Glancing at Elena and Qin Huairu, Chen Xueru said with a smile:

“Then you have to change your clothes on weekdays. I don’t just make wedding clothes here!”

After some tugging, Chen Xueru invited a few people in, supported the pregnant Mu Chunhua, and greeted them enthusiastically.

Knowing that they wanted to use silk to make pajamas, Chen Xueru quickly asked the waiter to take out several pieces of Suzhou and Hangzhou silk that had just arrived, and then introduced it in detail.

If I can do this business with Lin Hao well, it might be equivalent to ten days or half a month’s normal income.

Lin Hao actually doesn’t know much about silk, but he has experienced a lot of the ancient world, so he can still tell the good things from the bad ones.

However, Lin Hao did not plan to show off in front of others. After all, selecting these things is a woman’s hobby.

Especially the women in the family, who don’t have much work to do, and Lin Hao is not short of money, so they have nothing to do at home, just go shopping and play mahjong.

Since I’m here to accompany them, I naturally have to make them happy.

Therefore, the task of distinguishing the quality of these silk materials is left to their people to judge.

Mu Chunhua knew it was good material as soon as she touched it, so she asked:
“The goods are good, what’s the price?”

“You are a few distinguished guests. This is not the first time. I will definitely give you a very favorable price. How about 80 dollars?”

Chen Xueru didn’t ask for an exorbitant amount of money. Prices have been rising recently and the money is not as valuable as before.

“80 dollars a piece, that’s a bit expensive!” Elena frowned and said:

“Even if these silks were shipped to my country, they wouldn’t be worth 80 dollars!”

Chen Xueru still explained with a smile on her face:
“You are right. Silk shipped to your country is indeed not that expensive, but the problem is that the price in the capital is this high now, and we have no choice.”

“And these pieces of silk are definitely top-grade. You get what you pay for. Good things are of course more expensive!”

“What if we pay in foreign currency? There should be a discount!” Lin Hao said with a smile.

Now that materials cannot be imported from outside, prices are high, gold and foreign currencies are valuable, the silver dollar has depreciated significantly, and the gold yuan coupons have become waste paper.

So if you buy it with foreign currency, after the two items are offset, the price will only be slightly higher than the normal price in the past.

“If you use foreign currency, the price will be easy to negotiate!” Chen Xueru said with her eyes lighting up.

“Okay, then you can pick any one you want!” Lin Hao said to the girls who were eager to try:
“I’ll pay with foreign currency then, so the price will be equivalent to the usual price!”

“Okay!” Then several women began to choose suitable silk.

Chen Xueru introduced silk to them and took their measurements with a smile on her face so that the tailor could make them clothes for them.

After arguing for a long time, the girls finally chose the silks they liked.

Lin Hao smiled and reached into his pocket, pulling out a stack of $20 Franklins.

Lin Hao runs a bank, so he is not short of money. Lin Hao also has countless overseas industries, so he is also not short of foreign currency.

Besides, it was just a few dollars, so it was natural to spend it lavishly, but this did its best to satisfy the vanity of several women.

“Lin Xinsheng is very courageous, he must be doing big business!” Chen Xueru gave him a thumbs up and began to inquire about Lin Hao’s background.

“It’s OK, I can make a living!” Lin Hao naturally sensed Chen Xueru’s little thoughts, so he smiled and asked indifferently:

“By the way, do you have door-to-door delivery service?”

“Yes, please leave your address and I will have someone send it over right away!” Chen Xueru’s eyes lit up and she asked quickly.

Those who need door-to-door delivery are often wealthy people. They just need to grab a customer and ask him to come every month to buy a few pieces of silk or other fine materials.

Of course, the most important thing is to know where Lin Hao’s home is.

Just now when she was chatting with these women, she found out that they were actually Lin Hao’s wives and concubines.

I didn’t expect that after just a few months of not seeing each other, Lin Hao already has a lot of wives and concubines. I felt a little uncomfortable.

Sure enough, all the good men are vying for it.

“By the way, my dear guest, I have some silk stockings imported from the West recently. Would you like to take a look?”

Chen Xueru seemed to have thought of something and spoke quickly.

“Stockings, black, white or flesh-colored stockings?” Speaking of the topic of stockings, Lin Hao was no longer sleepy, because this was an attack speed equipment.

“Both!” Seeing Lin Hao’s unusual expression, Chen Xueru said with a smile.

“Ahem, 5 pairs of each color. No, no, no, 10 pairs!” Lin Hao coughed lightly.

“Mr. Lin, you haven’t asked the price yet. These stockings are very expensive nowadays!” Chen Xueru covered her mouth and laughed softly.

“Money is not the problem. The problem is, is this thing really good?” Lin Hao said indifferently.

“Of course it’s good stuff. It’s hard to buy now!” Chen Xueru then explained:
“I also asked a friend of mine to bring them directly from the other side of the Pacific Ocean, but the quantity was not too large!”

“I didn’t expect your network is so big!” Lin Hao couldn’t help but admire.

In the original drama, she made friends with Elena and opened up the northern market. Now, even though she doesn’t know Elena, she has still opened up overseas channels.

“When doing business, more friends mean more paths. The more friends you have, the more paths you have!” Chen Xueru said with a smile.

“Okay then, how much?” Lin Hao asked.

“Since this gentleman has US dollars, let’s talk in US dollars!” Chen Xueru thought for a moment and said:
“Each pair of stockings is $20, I’ll give you a % discount!”

Nowadays, the retail price of these stockings on the other side of the Pacific Ocean has reached 2 to 3 US dollars.

The price has dropped dozens of times now, but you have to know that before 1945, as long as you gave a pair of stockings to a woman you liked, you could do whatever you wanted.

However, with the end of the war, the supply of stockings increased and the price dropped significantly. But this is China and we are not very sensitive to news from the outside world.

Therefore, no matter what is shipped over, the price will be several times higher. If it is luxury goods, especially things that women like, it will be even more expensive.

“After all, we’ve crossed the vast Pacific Ocean, so it’s not too much for me to earn some hard work pay!” Chen Xueru finally said, her eyes sparkling with golden light.

“Not too much, not too much at all!” Then Lin Hao took out 500 dollars and said, “Give them 25 pairs. Here is 500 dollars. Keep it!”

“Okay, I’ll have someone pack it for you right away!” Chen Xueru was stunned for a moment when she heard that. She didn’t expect Lin Hao to be so generous, so she took the money without hesitation.

You have to know that this batch of stockings has been in her hands for a long time and has never been sold, mainly because the price is too high.

In addition, the capital city was surrounded by enemies, so prices naturally went up.

There is no way. The domestic chemical fiber industry is particularly weak these days, so stockings are ridiculously expensive.

In addition, the price was later hyped up by all parties, so the price of US$20 had already been reduced.

Going back a few years, I won’t say too much, just go back to 4 years ago, the price of a pair of stockings could be hyped up to more than 100 US dollars.

At that time, the thugs and gang members on the street didn’t even steal wallets when robbing people, they just stripped their stockings off.

Now that production capacity has increased and the war is over, chemical fibers are no longer very important war materials, so prices are gradually falling.

Then Lin Hao left his address on the counter with a pen and mentioned the delivery time.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Lin, there will be no problem!” Chen Xueru picked up the paper and took a look. In addition to the address, there was also his name on it.

After chatting for a while, Lin Hao and his four companions left Chen’s Silk Shop.

Then Chen Xueru stretched out her hand and said, “Then Mr. Lin, please take good care of my business in the future!”

“Okay, I will definitely trouble Miss Chen in the future!” Lin Hao stretched out his hand and shook hands with Chen Xueru.

At this moment, Lin Hao suddenly found that Chen Xueru had vaguely hooked his palm.

“Call me Xueru!” Chen Xueru said with a smile:

“We are so familiar with each other, but I didn’t expect you to be so distant and call me Miss Chen!”

Lin Hao was surprised, and then looked at Chen Xueru with a bit of amusement, “You didn’t have this attitude last time. Didn’t you say you would never be a mistress? Then what do you want to do by hooking my palm?”

“Ha, it’s really my fault!” Looking at Chen Xueru’s blushing face, Lin Hao smiled thoughtfully and said:

“Then don’t call me Mr. Lin all the time. Just call me by my name, or call me Brother Lin!”

Chen Xueru gave Lin Hao a coquettish look, then said shyly: “Thank you very much, Brother Lin!”

Mu Chunhua, who was not far away, looked at the two people who were talking happily with a thoughtful look, but did not stop them. Instead, she observed quietly while chatting with others.

After everyone left the silk shop, Mu Chunhua asked thoughtfully:

“What were you and the lady boss talking about just now? You seemed to be chatting so happily!”

“Nothing!” Lin Hao said with a smile:

“I just bought you some little things, imported from across the ocean, very fashionable!”

“But when I think of your smile, it seems to have bad intentions!” As expected of a couple, Mu Chunhua knew Lin Hao quite well.

“No, it’s not like that. Don’t you know what a serious person I am?” Lin Hao immediately changed the subject.

Mu Chunhua did not ask any further questions. Instead, she held Lin Hao’s arm with a virtuous look on her face and strolled along Qianmen Street.

Everyone came to a juggling stall. This man could balance anything, including pots, pans, and even water tanks.

He can hold a water tank on his head, and then put a person on the water tank, and then hold another water tank on top. His balance ability is simply outrageous. He must have real skills.

There were also some people practicing wrestling, performing monkey shows, selling magic pills and dog-skin plasters.

There were also people singing Pingtan, and their performance was very unprofessional. The one who played the erhu was barely good enough, and the one who played the pipa was okay, but the sanxian was missing.

She played the erhu just so-so and the pipa was just okay, but the woman who sang the pingtan had a nice voice.

The three of them worked in perfect harmony and sang quite well.

But the problem is, this is the capital city, and the Wu dialect is not very popular, so this cover-up can only be said to be unsatisfactory.

These three people are not easy to deal with. After all, when they were discussing how to test him yesterday, Lin Hao remembered the appearance of each of them.

If they were ordinary people, they would have been fooled by them, but Lin Hao had already seen their appearance before, so he naturally saw through them at a glance.

Lin Hao threw a dollar to them and left with Mu Chunhua and others.

Just as Lin Hao and his group were leaving, the monk who played the pipa stood up and left without even packing his things.

Shan Leng, who stayed behind to sing Pingtan, and Li Beifa, who played the pipa, packed up their things and followed.

Walk to a corner where there are few people, turn your clothes over, adjust your hair, and make some simple changes to your makeup, and you will immediately have a different face. This makeup technique is at the master level.

The two then followed the marks left by the Monk Hua and found the Monk Hua who was monitoring Lin Hao. The three of them then changed their identities and gathered together.

“Beifa, I don’t feel he is that strong. Can you say I overestimated him before?” said Hua Heshang, frowning.

“If you had seen his fighting ability with your own eyes, you wouldn’t say such stupid things.” Beifa said unhappily.

“Then it would be foolish for us to take action?” Flower Monk continued:

“After all, we only have five days. If we fail to complete the mission, how can we explain to the Bureau of Secrets and the General Suppression Headquarters?”

“There is no point in talking any more!” Shan Leng shook his head and said:
“No matter what the quality is, we will know it after giving it a try. Let’s just implement it according to the original plan!”

“That’s right. Although it’s a test, it would be best if we can defeat the opponent. If not, we must retreat early!” The three people chatted idly.

Time ticked by, and Lin Hao, Mu Chunhua and the other two girls were wandering around the streets, making it difficult for them to find a suitable solution.

At this time, Hua Heshang could no longer wait and said irritably:
“What the hell, you’re out shopping in such a chaotic situation, and you’ve been shopping for such a long time, aren’t you afraid of something unexpected happening?”

“Yeah, he brought three pretty girls with him, one of whom was a foreigner. This guy is so bold!”

“Brother, I’m hungry. I rushed here as soon as I knew they were coming to Qianmen Street. Now I haven’t even had breakfast yet. I want to eat us before fighting!”

Just when they were about to lose control, Lin Hao and his group of four slowly walked over here, each holding large and small bags in their hands.

Lin Hao knew that if he didn’t give them a chance and kept them hanging like this, they would probably go crazy on the spot, so he prepared to give them a chance to test him.

The three men lived up to expectations and stood up and surrounded Lin Hao and the others.

At the same time, Leng Qiao, who had been coordinating from the outside, put his hand on the trigger of the sniper rifle, ready to pull it at any time.
