1998, Jiangcheng.
19-Year-old Chen Hongmei stood at the door of the Limin Wholesale Market with only 217 yuan left in her pocket and a washed-white canvas bag.
Behind her was a 30,000-yuan loan shark left by her father who was addicted to gambling and ran away. On the hospital bed was her mother, who was waiting for life-saving money. She was desperate and plunged into a place full of opportunities and wolves.
Peers gathered together to crowd in, local snakes came to collect protection fees, and unscrupulous traders smashed her signboard. Everyone was waiting to see this lonely girl leave the market in tears.
But they didn't wait for tears, they only waited for Sister Hong who was so hard that it hurt.
You are using dirty tricks to lower prices, and I will steal all your customers with a huge supply of fresh goods;
If you bring gangsters to your door to make trouble, I will dare to fight you head-on with a fish knife, without giving up even a single step;
If you want to cut off my livelihood, I will directly destroy your entire black market, leaving you with nowhere to gain a foothold in the market!
She adhered to the bottom line of "not making shady money and not losing money to those around her". She started from a one-meter-wide aquatic product stall, secured channels and established a firm foothold, helped sisters who were desperate, and helped brothers in trouble to make money together.
From a small vendor in the market who can be bullied by everyone, to the leader of aquatic products wholesale in Jiangcheng, to the helm of a national fresh food chain.
In the end, no one in the entire Jiangcheng, from the industry bosses to the market vendors, dared not to call her sincerely - Sister Hong.
