Chapter 55: Selfishness
What happened in the department store is in the past. Vertex updates are the fastest
Hong Yanwu knows that life is like this, and what happens is often different from what people imagine at the beginning. Anyway, we won't meet again in the future, so there's no need to make a fuss about this.
So at noon, he had a good drink with the big guy, and he completely put this matter behind him.
At the same time, because before shopping, the "sea bumpers" who live in the fishing village have all vacated the rooms in the guest house. Hong Yanwu has also reported to everyone and sent all the money that should be sent.
Therefore, after being full of wine and food, these "sea bumpers" said goodbye one after another and left one after another. It's still the same as last time, everyone made an appointment, and we'll see you at the home of the "old knifefish" when the time comes.
To say that this time "touching the sea", because the "general" had a special situation, in fact, it is not a success.
In the absence of a super main team member, and a lot of other "sea bumpers" gradually appeared on the coast, their group had time to sweep most of the "Sheephorn Bay".
The seafood they caught with their own hands was about 300 catties of "abalone" and about the same amount of fresh sea cucumbers. It's a little worse than the last time in "Cloud Cliff".
And because they had to rush back to Ben Cheng as soon as possible to attend the wedding of the "general", they also did not have time to go to other beaches.
All of this is far from the goal that Hong Yanwu planned for everyone at the beginning.
However, although Hong Yanwu's "strategic" goal was not achieved, he was able to make up for it in "tactics" with his shrewd brain.
In line with the principle of "beating rabbits with grass", Hong Yanwu reminded everyone that they could use the money they brought to find these "sea cucumbers" on the northeast coast to collect their stock of sea cucumbers.
So when he left, not only in "Giethoorn Bay", Hong Yanwu even took everyone to go to the other two beaches that could not be swept in this plan.
They made a lot of money in this way on these local competitors, piggybacking on more than 200 catties of fine dried sea cucumbers. In this way, it is even greater than the harvest in the "Cloud Cliff".
Of course, the amount of money spent is not small. Not only did the "sea bumpers" spend their own money, but all the cash in the public account was also exhausted.
What's more, after returning to Bincheng, the money from selling "abalone shells" was used to buy a bicycle for Han Ying, so this time he opened a "salary" for the "sea bumper" and returned the sea cucumber money, all of which Hong Yanwu paid with his own money.
On today's public account, although the sea cucumber has reached about 1,000 catties, the cash flow is a negative figure of more than 2,000 yuan.
The pockets of the "sea bumpers" were bulging, and everyone was very grateful for Hong Yanwu's sacrificial approach, but at the same time, they were a little reluctant, and even a little worried.
For example, "General" and "Old Knife Fish" offered to lend their money to Hong Yanwu for use, and "Sanjiazi" and "Shrimp Crawler" also said that their money could be given after selling the sea cucumbers.
But Hong Yanwu refused one by one, he said that he didn't have to worry at all, he still had seven or eight hundred yuan in his pocket, so that everyone could continue to collect sea cucumbers with confidence. And his statement of strong confidence has undoubtedly achieved the effect of stabilizing the morale of the military to a great extent.
It's just that even the most wise decision-maker can't make every subordinate unconditionally trust him and have the belief that the whole group is in the same boat.
People like "Flying Crab" are a little too selfish, and they are a little too "smart".
He united with the "dead corpses" who lived in the same fishing village with him, and moved his "crooked" mind. As soon as they returned to the fishing village, they bought as much inventory as they could with the money they had just received.
In the afternoon of the same day, he returned to Bincheng and sent seventy catties of dried sea cucumbers to Hong Yanwu. Both of them used the excuse that their families were in urgent need of money, and they used up all the remaining funds of Hong Yanwu.
Behind their backs, the two of them ran to the department store, and each of them bought a "Shaou" brand watch for 120 yuan, and then set out on the way home satisfied.
Along the way, the two of them are called beautiful.
"Flying Crab" brags to himself while fiddling with his baby-like watch.
"Haha, look at our watch, we can dazzle blind eyes under the sun, and we are both people with watches now. When we go back to the village, whose eldest girl can't look at us more?"
Although the "dead corpse" was also very happy, he had some concerns in his heart.
"Isn't it a bit interesting for the two of us to do this? Everyone said that they would send the sea cucumber to the 'old saury' together, let's do it now, but we took all the money in Xiao Wu's hand in advance......
"Hehe, are you okay? Fool to believe his words! When the time comes, you see, meet again, those stupid boys who believe in him, if you don't get it, you'll have to eat a blank account! Of course, you have to start first to be strong, it's worth it, you have to be righteous, if you don't get it, the money will be gone! Are you still blessed to bring this thing?"
"Why don't you look so badly at fried sea cucumbers? People have been making money! Don't look at the money now, but those sea cucumbers are worth tens of thousands. No matter how you look at it, you can't lose it, you really have to share the money in the future, you won't lose a lot?"
"Silly man. If I'm really not optimistic, can I still do it with the guys? I'll admit, that kid has some skills. But don't forget, sometimes people have to turn their brains more and don't follow the crowd, maybe the benefits will be more ......"
"Ah, how do you say?"
"Hey, we're from the same village. I won't hide it from you, let you understand, but you know that you must not tell others. ”
"Okay, if there are good things, don't forget your brother, and promise to keep it secret to the end. ”
Seeing that the "dead corpse" did not hesitate to make a guarantee, the "flying crab" who had long wanted to show off was very proud and talked about his reasoning.
"I have always believed that money and sea cucumbers are in the hands of others, and we can't make decisions if anything happens, which is the biggest risk. Now that the peak season for sea cucumber fishing has arrived, there will be more and more seafood on the market. That kid collects sea cucumbers at such a high price, and it's good that he can always sell them at a higher price, but what should I do if I can't sell them when the time comes? So the safest way is to pinch the money in our hands first, and don't worry about any situation. ”
"That's right, this can't be involved in the final penny. But don't feel at a loss. Let me tell you, like me now, if I make a sea cucumber money once and for a while, I can have more money to collect sea cucumbers than others. Isn't the difference earned every time more than others? If the boy has money in his hand all the time, I will always sell it to him. In this way, every time I accumulate, in the end, I must have collected the most sea cucumbers, and it will become profitable. ”
"Like this time, when we went back, you only collected a dozen catties. You don't know, my fifty pounds, only ten pounds are collected now. The rest, but before leaving, I bought it in advance with the money I paid off last time, and I planned to sell it to him as soon as I came back this time, while he had money in his hand. In this way, when everyone meets, I can collect and sell it again, and make a two-way call. ”
"Of course, when 'touching the sea', I can still collect sea cucumbers from the gang of boys on the northeast coast, I didn't expect it, I admit that there were some mistakes. But now you see, he doesn't have much money in his hands. I'm not a loss, anyway, the next time we meet, I have to look at the wind first, and I must not easily fill in my own money. ”
And said a thousand ways and ten thousand, and finally there was one. You see, this kid sells sea cucumbers, it's nothing more than going to a guest house to sell them. I think it's okay to say it, this method has to prove that it has always worked, and we can also learn from it and follow suit. When the time comes, the money will be all your own......"
When the "Flying Crab" said this, the "dead corpse" who had been pondering suddenly raised his head and stared at him with big eyes.
This made him blush, and he quickly explained. "I don't have to start from scratch, in fact, it's good to follow the 'big brother', it's just ...... It's just ......"
Before he could make up the words, he didn't think that the reaction of the "dead corpse" was actually his own thought, and the kid suddenly gave a thumbs up and shouted.
"Takami! Brother, I didn't expect you to be so smart. Then I'll just quit and follow you in the future, okay?"
"Flying Crab" was suddenly relieved and laughed.
"Okay, why not, if you really want to follow me, then we'll start tonight......"
"Ah, what do you mean, didn't you just say that you won't accept sea cucumbers first?"
"If you don't accept it, it doesn't mean that you won't sell it. Isn't it all for nothing? If that kid doesn't have any money to give, just sell it to someone else. ”
"Shall we go and 'touch the sea' by ourselves?
"Hey, it's still a few days before the rendezvous. I thought, our village is so close to the 'Old Iron Mountain', why don't we go there and get some water at night......"
The "Old Iron Mountain" mentioned in "Flying Crab" is located on the tip of the Liaodong Peninsula, surrounded by the sea on three sides, and is the most important waterway point.
If the steamers in the open sea want to enter the major ports on the east coast of our country, they must take this waterway. There is also a particularly well-known lighthouse on the Old Iron Mountain, which has been piloting these ships since 1893.
Therefore, after the founding of the country, it was designated as a military location. No one touched the sea there. You don't have to think about it to know that if you really go into the water, there will be countless "abalone" and "sea cucumber", just like white take.
But for the same reason, there have always been soldiers patrolling the coast, and ordinary fishermen and "sea bumpers" do not dare to go.
Of course, the "dead corpse" did not know this, and immediately shook his head. "You're not crazy, are you, what should you do if you are found out by the soldiers? Big brother never lets us go there, don't you want money and don't want your life?"
"Flying Crab" is confident. "Phew, coward. Is there still a place in the world where we 'sea bumpers' dare not go? In order to make a fortune, we must know that there are tigers in the mountains, and we prefer to go to the tiger mountains. I'll tell you anyway. I have my own way, I've been there several times before. If you look at the sky, it must be clouds covering the moon at night. This is a good opportunity. In the past, I sneaked through the bay next to it in such weather. I've swam back when I've had enough, and I've never met a GI......"
The eyes of the "dead corpse" flickered with sparks, "You're not bragging, are you?"
"Flying Crab" is on the shelf. "If you don't believe in pulling down, don't regret it anyway......"
"Don't, don't, I can't believe it! Go at night, listen to your ......"
"Good brother, now I understand. To be a human being is not to follow the back of other people's butts. You'll have to find something else...... What a different way, anyway, you can't be like them!"
Seeing that the "dead corpse" was convinced of himself and completely became his "hardcore", "Flying Crab" was greatly satisfied. He was so happy that he took the watch off his left wrist and put it on his right wrist as he spoke.
"I see, from then on we were able to draw a line with those silly boys, and we wore our watches on our right wrists to distinguish ourselves from them. I don't understand, why do people keep the strap on their left hand. How convenient it is to wear your right hand to see the time!"
When the "dead corpse" thought about it, he also felt that this trick was very good, and he could be clear and different, so he also put the watch on his right wrist. He couldn't stop complimenting "Flying Crab" in his mouth, saying that he had ideas and could be a military advisor.
The more they talked, the hotter they became, and they both felt that they were extraordinary, that they were smart people, and that they would soon impress others.
In this way, talking and talking, gradually the two of them walked to the beach, and they had already seen the military restricted area at the foot of the "Old Iron Mountain". And there were two soldiers walking around in the distance.
"Flying Crab" couldn't help but grumble. "Damn, it's inconvenient to have them, not only is it inconvenient to get rich, but you have to go around when you go home!"
"Dead corpses" also chimed in. "It's like, I hate being a soldier too, getting in the way. Let's just throw a stone at them together. Let's see if we can smash the brains of these boys like 'Little Baizi' hitting birds. ”
In essence, this proposal is purely meaningless, and it is still a thousand meters away from those two soldiers, how can it be smashed?
But the two of them just wanted to make a joke. So they all giggled and each picked up a stone. Then he counted them and threw them out as best he could.
Unexpectedly, this is really a big deal!
In an instant, both of them felt that something had struck their wrists, and they saw that with the stones flying out, two shining bright spots also flew out.
Looking down at the wrists of the two brothers, they were all bald.
Then, only stunned for a moment, the two of them rushed forward as if they were being chased by dogs, desperately looking for their watches on the ground.
Naturally, those two watches were all broken!
At this time, the two looked at each other, and neither of them spoke. But undoubtedly, it has been very clear why the watch is worn on the left hand.
The taste is simply sour. Not only do I want to cry, but no one wants to smoke myself a few big mouths!
