Chapter 8 No Windfall is No Wealth

The southern coastal provinces have been at the forefront of domestic economic development, and many later big brands and enterprises have originated in these coastal cities.

Due to the favorable time and place, in the earth-shaking changes of the times, these coastal cities took the lead and laid the foundation for the later Southern Economic Circle in one fell swoop.

Not many people will remember that before the chief designer spoke, not only did the people in the interior have a hard time, but also the coastal people who were envied by the mainlanders later.

Because of the geographical environment, Southeast Province can be said to be surrounded by mountains on three sides and by the sea on one side, and the grain output is very low.

If we only rely on the little harvest from the land, many people will not even have enough to eat.

In the southeastern province where rice is eaten, many people have never even eaten a bowl of rice in their lives, and the days when every meal is porridge have not changed for a long time, even later.

The fishing industry has added a little bit of income to the people of the southeast coast while supplementing some meat, but it is not enough to change anything, it just makes life a little better.

By the late '80s and early '90s, that all had changed dramatically.

In the early years, people who were displaced to a foreign country for various reasons, in their later years, they returned to their homeland when they missed their hometown, and then found that their hometown was still so poor and backward.

It's just that it didn't take long for someone to notice that the things they carried with them that were very common in a foreign land could be worth thousands of times more when they arrived on the mainland.

A closed world has been opened, and the prosperity of the world outside the bottom of the well has not only given birth to the tide of going abroad, but also made the smuggling industry begin to emerge.

Wang Erxi was originally an honest fisherman, and fishing during the day and selling fish at night was a survival plan that began in his father's generation.

But after seeing that the people he knew suddenly made a fortune by smuggling one by one, the honest Wang Erxi also began to be tempted.

is also working at sea, and is also risking his life that may encounter wind and waves at sea, why can people earn so much money in a day, but he Wang Erxi is so poor that he can't even marry a daughter-in-law?

For various reasons, Wang Erxi followed the people of the same village on the road of smuggling, even though he knew that smuggling was illegal.

It's just that compared to the benefits of smuggling, breaking the law is nothing.

People are not rich without windfalls, and horses are not fertile without night grass!

Starting with smuggling toys, then smuggling cigarettes and liquor, from food and clothing to entertainment DVD players.

In just two years, the crazy profiteering made Wang Erxi renovate the family's house, the small sampan was replaced with an oil-burning power boat, and even his wife was married.

Wang Erxi's business began to get bigger and bigger, and his profits became more and more lucrative, and now, his business scope has shifted from those things that are not high-grade to household appliances.

The price of a television is a few hundred yuan, and the price of a mobile phone is 2,000 yuan less; the price of a mobile phone is 3,500 yuan, and the profit of a mobile phone is tens of thousands of yuan when it goes to the mainland.

And people's average income is 1,000 or 2,000 a year.

But recently, Wang Erxi found that his business had lost money, to be precise, he had lost all his money.

Not long ago, Wang Erxi had just arrived with a batch of goods that were inspected by the customs, if it weren't for Wang Erxi's decisiveness, I'm afraid even he would have to fold in.

A shipload full of goods worth more than 100,000 yuan, just like that, it was gone all of a sudden, and Wang Erxi was heartbroken when he thought about it.

What bothers him the most is that the Maritime Patrol has recently begun to strengthen its patrols at night, and he has suffered several such losses in a row.

was able to have a smooth sail earlier, and Wang Erxi was not just lucky, but the thickness and fineness were the fundamental reasons why he was able to get bigger and bigger.

Soon, Wang Erxi found that when some peers encountered the same situation as him one after another, some people were still mixed up, which made Wang Erxi immediately realize that there was something greasy in this.

Sure enough, under Wang Erxi's observation, those people who are in the thick of the wind and water seem to have unusual contact with the people of the Maritime Safety Administration, and when their goods arrive at the shore, the maritime patrol team will always miss a certain place at an irregular time.

After some pondering and inquiry, Wang Erxi came into contact with Zhao Donglai, who had just been promoted, and after several many attempts, he felt that things might have taken a turn for the better.

This time he came to the door with 20,000 yuan, which Wang Erxi had already thought about, but Zhao Donglai did not blow him away on the spot, Wang Erxi knew that there was probably a drama.

But what made Wang Erxi secretly anxious was that it had been more than an hour since he entered the door, and Zhao Donglai had not expressed any hints to him again and again except for persuading him to drink tea.

This made Wang Erxi, who was doing this kind of thing for the first time, unable to grasp his head for a while, and he didn't know what Zhao Donglai meant.

"Section Chief Zhao, that ....."

Wang Erxi couldn't sit still, he was a big old man who knew a fart about tea tasting, if he didn't mind spending a while with Zhao Donglai, but in a few hours, he would have a batch of goods to arrive, where could he continue to rub it off like this.

Therefore, Wang Erxi couldn't help but hint at Zhao Donglai again, and touched the newspaper on the table without moving.

What made Wang Erxi vomit blood was that Zhao Donglai still ignored his hints, and didn't even glance at the thick paper bag he put on the table.

Wang Erxi was a little puzzled, that's a full 20,000, is this Zhao Donglai too little, or does he really not understand what it means?

He's a newly promoted section chief, so he shouldn't have that much appetite, right?

"Come to the east, it's past ten o'clock, why did you say that Xiaochuan hasn't come back yet, it's dark on the road...."

Just as Wang Erxi was about to directly point out his intention this time, Huang Yajuan, who had been sitting next to him and didn't interject, opened her mouth, and let Wang Erxi swallow the words that came to her mouth again.

"What are you worried about when it's so far away, it's not a girl, it's not that you don't know that their teachers love to drag the hall, and it's estimated that they will be back in a while. ”

"But I don't usually drag it on for so long......"

As soon as Huang Yajuan's words fell, the sound of the door lock turning sounded, and then, Zhao Jiangchuan pushed open the door and walked in.

"Mom, I'm back. ”

"You kid, didn't you get out of school a long time ago, why did you come back now, did you go to the game hall with Xiao Wu to play games again?"

Zhao Jiangchuan lowered his slippers and said, "Where, old man Zhao is dragging his feet again today.......

Regarding Huang Yajuan's questioning, Zhao Jiangchuan's lie came as soon as he opened his mouth.

Pity the old man Zhao, who has been retired and rehired, just carried a pot that he didn't know at all.
