Chapter 30: The First Pot of Gold
The matter was settled, and after gossiping for a while, it was evening, and after dinner, my parents had to get up and go to work in the morning tomorrow, so I went to sleep. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info (The factory is not said to be 9 to 5 days, until later generations, all go to work at 7 o'clock in the morning, and you have to get up after 6 o'clock)
Zhang Xingming was lying there thinking about things, his mother's affairs were arranged, and he had to hurry up, but he couldn't do anything at the moment, and the cost was not much, it seemed that he could only find a way to buy scrap iron in recent years, and now he bought scrap iron for three or four cents a pound, and the purchase price in 81 rose to more than two cents, or the purchase price of Nanfen here, the city must be higher, 82 years will be close to four cents, and more than ten times the profit only needs more than two or three years, this can be done, but how to do it? Besides, I have to keep the monkey ticket, so I have to think of another way.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Xingming suddenly figured it out, how much is a pound of scrap iron? Three cents and four cents, a ton is less than 30 yuan, and a 2 or 300 yuan can collect more than a dozen tons, if you sell it directly to the city, you will definitely be able to make money, and if you pour it a few more times, won't the money come out? Well, just do it, it seems that I will have to discuss it with my second brother tomorrow. In the last life, the second brother has been mixing in society, fighting all day long, and after 83 years, he went to prison several times, and his life was ruined. I said that I wanted to change my second brother's life, so let's start now.
Besides, if you want to do this business, you must not be able to get a business license now, you can only do it secretly, the second brother and a group of them are quite good in the society, all of them have a number (famous), and no one dares to come to make a mess of the whole mess, and after a few years, everyone has practiced it, and it can be regarded as having their own entrepreneurial team.
The next day, Zhang Xingming, who was early, got up and went to Sun Niang's house.
"Second brother, second brother, second brother. Zhang Xingming lay on the edge of the kang and called the second brother of Sun Niang's family.
"Erming, what's the matter?" The second brother, who was sleeping in a daze, looked sideways at Zhang Xingming with fascinated eyes.
"Second brother, get up, I have something to do with you, a good thing. ”
"What's the good thing about Erming, tell the second sister?" The second sister was talking on the side, she had already gotten up, she was sitting on the side of the kang and combing her hair, Sister Ping was still asleep, Sun Dad and the eldest brother and sister were not in the house, it was estimated that she had gone out to work early, and Sun Niang was cooking in the outhouse.
"No, I'll just tell the second brother, second brother, get up quickly. Zhang Xingming stretched out his hand to pull the second brother's face, and the second brother stretched his waist and sat up: "What's the matter, you're in a hurry, say it." ”
"You get dressed and come out, you have to whisper. "Zhang Xingming didn't dare to say anything about making money in front of the second sister Ping, the second sister is better, and Sister Xiaoping is equivalent to a small broadcast, and everyone on the earth will know about it by then. The second sister combed her hair and put on her coat and went to work, she had just been assigned to the mining construction company, which was also a large collective, and the same as the eldest brother, only Sun Dad and the eldest sister were all the people in the family, driving a big car in the open-pit mine.
The second brother yawned, rubbed his eyes, reluctantly put on his clothes, put on his shoes and went to the ground, went to the outhouse to fetch water and washed his face, and then asked while wiping his face: "Say, what's the matter? If you fool me, I'll knock you all over the bag, you watch." ”
At this time, the second brother was nineteen years old, an adult, and he was unemployed at home after graduating from junior high school. Speaking of unemployed, it may have been the most distinctive term in the 70s and 80s, when the planned economy was planned, the common people were not allowed to do business, and the work was all distributed by the state, but in the past 10 years or so, when the people in the country had the most children, there were four, five, five, or six families, how could there be so much work to share? Succession was a nail and a rivet, and only one could be solved, and the old had to retire from the young to go up, so what did they have nothing to do? So the unemployed young people who were all over the streets became the characteristic of this era.
Zhang Xingming pulled the second brother into his house, closed the door, and confused the second brother.
"Second brother, what are you doing all day now?fighting, drinking, playing poker?" Zhang Xingming took off his shoes and climbed onto the kang, asking as he climbed.
"Ah, what's wrong?" the second brother touched his face and asked Zhang Xingming.
"So, you drink and play poker, where does the money come from?
The second brother looked at Zhang Xingming and asked, "What's wrong?" What did my father and mother say about me? Or did anyone say anything about me?"
"Nope. Zhang Xingming raised his hand to block the second brother's hand touching the top of his head and said, "I just ask, you can talk about it." ”
"Do you want to get money? Do you want Gaha? You little fart want moneyGaha? I have a dozen yuan here, or not?" The second brother took out a crumpled pile of gross tickets from his pocket, took out two and put them on the kang.
"Stop," Zhang Xingming shouted, looked at the second brother and said, "I want you money? I don't want money, I'm asking you where you usually get your money, if there's something, tell me quickly." ”
"My dad and my mom asked you to ask?" the second brother looked at Zhang Xingming with slanted eyes, his face full of questions.
"No, hey, let me tell you this, second brother, I have a way to make money, I want to see if you can do it. "Zhang Xingming is considered to have served the second brother, and it is estimated that his money is not good, otherwise he would not be so careful.
"Can you make money?" The second brother immediately became interested, lowered his head and asked in a low voice, his voice obviously contained a kind of excitement, these days, there are really few ways to make money, who doesn't want to have money.
"You must make money," Zhang Xingming nodded and said, "Can you get the capital? ”
"Where can I get it?" the second brother scratched his head and asked, "How much money do you get?"
"Of course, the more the better," Zhang Xingming said: "But there are few ways to do it, that is, it is tiring, you can first say that you can get money." ”
"Let's talk about how to earn it. The second brother still didn't believe Zhang Xingming's words, he must be too young.
"Collect scrap iron. Zhang Xingming looked at the second brother and said: "I have to find a bigger place, collect scrap iron, if the capital is enough, just collect it and not sell it, and then sell it after two years of price increase, this is the most profitable, if the capital is less, you have to collect some selling points to make up a little bit, but in this way, you will earn less." ”
"Collect the rags," the second brother was a little disappointed: "Who does the plaything, how much do you earn when you are tired?"
Zhang Xingming said: "Second brother, don't look at me as young, I'm telling you this seriously, if it weren't for my brother and I, I wouldn't be looking for you." Besides, it's not about collecting rags, it's about collecting iron, only collecting scrap iron, and for two years, you're guaranteed to make a lot of money. ”
"Really?" the second brother still didn't believe it.
"Can you get the capital? I'll ask my mom to tell you that we're going to work together. Zhang Xingming had no choice but to carry his mother out.
Hearing Zhang Xingming say this, the second brother was a little convinced, and no matter how much he hurt the child, he wouldn't help the child tell this lie, so he said: "I can't get much money, and my father wants it, the eldest sister and the second sister are both working, and if you can ask for it, it is estimated that there is more than 100 yuan." ”
Zhang Xingming thought for a while and said: "In this way, second brother, I will ask my mother to give you 200 yuan, you try to make it up, anyway, the more money we have, the more we earn, but you have to find a way to find a bigger place first, there must be a wall, otherwise the things will be gone." ”
"Okay, I'll go find a place. The second brother thought about it and nodded. At this time, there are many large collectives and small collectives in the factory, and it is not too difficult to find an idle place as long as you know people.
In the evening, Zhang Xingming quietly discussed with his mother, took 200 yuan out as the capital, and partnered with his second brother to collect iron and sell it.
Three days later, the second brother came back in the evening and entered Zhang Xingming's house, Zhang Xingming was lying on his mother's lap enjoying his mother's ears.
"Xiaoli is here, sit down. Mom looked up at her second brother, and then plucked Zhang Xingming's ears, which was the most enjoyable thing for Zhang Xingming when he was a child.
"Erming, the place is found, behind the Jian'an company, there is a very large courtyard, now it is empty, my buddy's father is the head of it, and said that we can use it for five yuan a month. The second brother sat down and expressed his gratitude to Zhang Xingming.
"How big is the compound?" Zhang Xingming has no memory of that place, and he has never been there, so he doesn't know at all.
"What about the milk?" asked the second brother when the mother knew about it. As soon as my mother said this, Zhang Xingming remembered that he had gone to fetch milk once in his previous life, passed from the trail next to the hospital, walked to the tailings dam, and went to the other side of the mountain next to the building where Zhang Xingming's family lived.
"How long can I rent it?" Zhang Xingming asked as he changed his mother's hand and plucked out the other ear.
"How long will it take? The second brother said, "Let's just say five yuan a month for us to use." ”
"I have to say this, we don't use one day or two days, at least two or three years, we have to sign a contract, and we can't give more rent after we finish, it's best to pay it monthly. ”
"Sign the contract?" the second brother was a little puzzled. At this time, how can people have the concept of a contract?
Zhang Xingming thought about it, at this time, there is no private business, if an individual goes to sign a contract with the unit, it is estimated that there is no play, it seems that it can only be counted as a day, and after thinking about it, he asked: "Is it a separate courtyard? ”
"Yes," the second brother nodded: "I went to see, it's the courtyard where they used to pile up materials, there are two small rooms, it's okay to pack up and put things in the house, it's just cold in winter." ”
Zhang Xingming nodded: "That's no problem, just make some coke (coke) for a stove in winter, and I'm not afraid of smoking." ”
The matter was settled, the second brother went to rent the yard the next day, and he couldn't sign the contract, Zhang Xingming asked the second brother to let the leader give a note, and wrote that the yard was used by them, and as for the money, it was definitely not written, and it was estimated that the money was also kept by the little leader himself, at this time, the wages of the workers in the Jian'an Mine Construction Class I Attached Factory (large and small collectives) were much lower than Zhang Xingming's father's labor, and it was less than thirty, and five yuan was really a lot.
As a result, Zhang Xingming's first business was set up, scrap iron purchase. Zhang Xingming's family paid 200 yuan, and the second brother scraped together more than 170 yuan, put the house in the courtyard together, and nailed a bed with wood, even if it was opened. At this time, there is no business license, and it can't be done, as long as you are careful and no one sues, it is said that there are a lot of people who have secretly done some small business in 79 years, and the country is also turning a blind eye at this time.
