Chapter 17: The Tide Has Risen
Six hundred dollars, at 92, is not a small expense. In fact, even the retirement salary of these forestry bureau leaders is generally more than 100 yuan per month.
A coffin will use up almost half a year's savings, and it is obvious that many people cannot accept it. So in the face of Li Xian's bidding, everyone shouted into one.
"Didn't you say it, if you buy more than ten people at a time, you can give the group purchase price," Facing a group of old men who said that they were black-hearted, Li Xian hurriedly explained or guided.
"Group buying...... How much can I do?"
Li Xian smiled, "This group purchase is also based on quantity." There are two levels, and if you can set ten mouthfuls at once, then one will give you five hundred and five. But if you want to set 20 mouthfuls at a time, then you can count 500 mouthfuls. Small profits but quick turnover, haha. ”
This way of selling things is not common in this era.
Everyone didn't react for a while, although they felt that the coffin of 511 mouths was not cheap, but some of them had already put their minds elsewhere......
It is obviously impossible to point to this group of old people and make a decision immediately. After all, the coffin is not like a walnut skin, and in terms of price, it can be regarded as a large piece in this era.
Li Xian saw that several old people in the crowd had already begun to talk to each other, and he was not ready to continue to entangle. What I should say and do has been put in place, and the rest depends on how big the demand is, and whether the sales policy of this group purchase is effective.
After a lot of work, it was almost noon.
Li Xian and Li Pi got up early in the morning without talking, and Gao Ming, who came to deliver the car, loaded the coffin into the car, and it was really a waste of old nose energy, although it was not yet time to eat, but the Five Organs Temple was already beating gongs and drums.
"Alright, you guys should study it. Truth be told, my brother and I haven't eaten since morning. I'll have to find something to fill it in, but I'll have to tell the rank of office, when it's time to get to the farm, our carpenter doesn't have time, and this coffin won't be easy to beat, and those who have orders will have to hurry up. ”
After speaking, he ignored the old people and the Zhiye girl who was unhappy with her eight hundred people, and directly took Li Pi to board the tricycle.
Just as Wang Zhiye was staring at the luck of the tricycle with a large coffin, the door that had just been closed opened again.
Li Xian stretched out his head with a hippie smile and sneered at everyone: "It's not appropriate for me to pull this thing into the city, can I park the car here first?"
……
The Forestry Bureau said that it is a place to coordinate the production units of various forest farms, but because the Provincial Forest Industry Group is at a high level of national strategy, it is actually about the same size as Bangye County, but because there are not so many urban areas, the population is of course smaller.
However, because of the large amount of timber exported every year, the Bangye Forestry Bureau at this time is much better than the construction of Bangye County.
In fact, until the year before Li Xian's crossing, the Forestry Bureau looked far more gorgeous on the surface than Bangye County, which was only one street away.
It's just that at that time, the Forestry Bureau had no production tasks, no support from the timber industry, and no other commercial industries, and the entire Forestry Bureau was in decline. The empty leaves behind wide, smooth streets and rows of residential areas, which look like tofu blocks in the air, and are lifeless.
It's bustling right now.
Li Xian took Li Pi to the snack bar next to the passenger station, and hastily ordered two bowls of wontons in the bustle of passengers.
The environment of the snack bar is not good, but the wontons are really good, the skin is the skin filling is the filling, the skin is thin and the filling is large, the soup is rich and it is by no means seasoning. Even the pepper inside is much more mellow than that of Li Xian in later generations.
Eight cents a bowl, Li Xian thinks it's worth it.
Just when he wanted to go back to the dry rest house to see the "harvest" with a stomach full of satisfaction, he suddenly saw a large number of people gathered around the place where the bus was parked at the passenger station. The faint scolding during the period made him feel a little familiar.
Looking at Li Pi, who was also curious, he stepped forward.
Pushing aside the crowd, Li Xian finally saw the situation clearly,
In front of the old red leaves that shuttled back and forth between the Bajiu Forest Farm and the Forestry Bureau, the old driver, Lao Zhou, was arguing with a man with a passenger station armband with a red face and a thick neck. The man was about thirty years old, and although he was wearing a light blue uniform from the passenger station, he had a ruffian face.
Miss Xiao Zhou was also there, with tears in her eyes, tugging on Lao Zhou's sleeve and persuading her not to do it.
、
Who cares about this?
"I've been running this line for ten years, and you say you want to outsource, why should I go if you want to outsource?!"
The man who was pulled by Lao Zhou looked quite calm: "Lao Zhou, why are you unreasonable? The bus and the bus line are all in the bureau, and they are not your own." Now that the efficiency is not good, what's wrong with the bureau trying to sell the line? Didn't I already tell you, if you have an idea about this line, you can also come up with the money and buy the line!"
In the face of the man's words, Lao Zhou was even more angry, pulling the man's collar, his eyes were as wide as egg yolks: "Let your mother's old bullshit! If I have that fucking 20,000 yuan, I still need a sports car that gets up early and is greedy for darkness every day? Yes, the benefits are not good at this time, but why don't you say that it is full every day during the winter harvesting period? Xu Laosan, don't think I don't know what you are thinking. ”
Lao Zhou's attitude completely angered the man, and he directly pushed it with both hands, relying on his youth and strength, and pushed Lao Zhou far away.
"Damn, shame on you. Anyway, I've passed it, how can you do it yourself!" After speaking, he ignored Lao Zhou, took a deep look at Xiao Zhou, who was already crying on the side, and turned to leave.
Li Xian, who was watching this scene from afar, sighed.
Since he was born again, he has only cared about making money, completely unaware of another problem;
It is now 92 years, and the instructions from the highest level must have been issued, and the process of reform and opening up across the country has reached the most critical stage.
That is, from this year onwards, the assets of many state-owned enterprises were transferred to private ownership. A great wave of national retreat and democratic advancement has already erupted.
Later generations have mostly commented on this wave positively, and the subsequent market economy has proved that a free and competitive market environment is the most dynamic environment for the economy.
But there is really nothing transparent and fair about this process of transformation.
More than 20 years later, many economists are evaluating that the entrepreneurs who made the first pot of gold from this wave have "original sin" on their bodies. Because fundamentally speaking, the vast majority of those who have risen from this era have inherited or stolen state-owned assets at a very low cost.
Li Xian knew in his heart that the belt line contracting of the passenger car must be greasy inside. As an important production unit in the Bangye Forestry Bureau, Bajiu Forest Farm has a huge flow of people every winter, and as the only bus, the profit is considerable. Presumably, someone thought about it and carried out the operation under the banner of reform.
It's just that I can't do anything about these things.
Looking at Xiao Zhou, who was still scolding with pear blossoms and rainy chests, Li Xian patted Li Pi on the shoulder who wanted to step forward.
"Let's go, let's take care of ourselves first. ”
……
At the same time that the second was embarrassed by Lao Zhou's father and daughter, a group of old cadres in the cadre rest house were making a mess.
