Chapter 10: The Man Who Picks Up Cigarette Butts
Late at night, Tong Chao said goodbye to Fengxiang in the ice cellar. Ai San also took the money and went out to find his other half.
Next, Tong Chao has to find the right people to make money for the third brother and himself, watch the business, and find those who will help him in his future plans.
They didn't leave contact information for each other, and Tong Chao didn't have a mobile phone, but they just made an appointment to leave their respective messages in this courtyard every once in a while.
Ai San did not hesitate to choose the nightclub life, at his age, what he urgently needed was the appeasement of women.
And the Tong Dynasty, wandering around several labor markets in Jingyue City all day, didn't look at any of them.
So I walked into a nearby restaurant, ordered a plate of boiled peanuts and a serving of edamame, and asked for a bottle of Erguotou.
In the past, Tong Chao didn't drink or smoke, but now he has started drinking, some people say that drinking is easy to make mistakes, and Tong Chao feels that it is a person's self-control ability. And he, just drinking, blurred the pain in his heart a little.
The entrance to the labor market can be seen through the window. Tong Chao looked over there, bustling with people of all kinds looking for work.
He sighed in his heart that he had the vitality that many people would yearn for, and he had obtained a high degree certificate that many young people could not reach. The life of a small boss, if you don't have to hide your identity, it may be a very comfortable life.
But he now had to figure out one thing, why the third base was engaged in such unfriendly invention research, and why he chose seven people, including himself. Formed a team of transhumans, higher than the power of superweapons.
Can't the world live in peace?
"Bastard, I introduced you to a job, you don't like this, what are you calling? I didn't find you a job?"
A strong man with a rough voice yelled loudly and pushed a young man out of the door of the labor market.
Tong Chao's hearing was sensitive, so he naturally heard it, and then he looked over. It was a handsome, bookish young man, about a few years younger than himself, in his early twenties.
He wears simple camouflage pants and a long-sleeved white shirt that doesn't match well, and the slightly long ends of his forehead hide his black-rimmed glasses. sat on the steps with an angry face but a grievance.
He spat on the ground, Tong Chao felt a kind of disgust in his heart, and he was extremely disgusted by the behavior of young people nowadays who spit at every turn.
But when he accidentally glanced at it, the young man spit out a mouthful of blood on the ground.
This is called Tong Chao's heart suddenly burst into flames, beating, fighting, scolding, humiliation, all of which are a manifestation of incompetence of inferior people to intimidate vulnerable groups with rogue behavior when they do not have the ability to control communication.
In the past, the Copper Dynasty was often teased like this, sending and receiving large amounts of water from last autumn, and fighting monsters the night before, which was the first time that the Copper Dynasty was rough with the outside world.
It's about to be a year coming, and the businessman who pretends to be a young man in the city seems to have been baptized by this fast-paced urban life.
But now, Tong Chao took out a hundred-yuan bill and raised his hand: "Boss, don't close the stall, I'll be back in a while." ”
He pointed to the money on the table, and the shopkeeper waved at him: "Okay, no problem, little brother, go collect it." A restaurant waiter came running in small steps.
Copper smiled and nodded at them, got up and pushed away the chair, and walked towards the young man outside the door.
"Hey, handsome guy, what's wrong?" Tong Chao was wearing a suit and shirt, and he was not too dirty, and sat directly next to the young man.
This guy glanced at Tong Chao, and immediately covered one side of his face with his hand: "It's nothing, it's just that someone has pitted you." ”
Tong Chao thought that he would think that he was angry before, and regarded his inquiry as a mockery, and then scolded himself angrily.
But this kind of behavior made Tong Chao feel a little good: "Hmph~ I've seen it all, and I also beat people in the labor market?"
"That's a puller, and a lot of outside bosses in the labor market come to find people, and I ran into them. Sure enough, you should believe in the formal introduction of work. He glanced at Tong Chao, "Are you here looking for a job, or are you the boss looking for someone to work?"
"Are you in a hurry to work?" Tong Chao took out a cigarette and handed it to the young man.
"Thanks, I don't smoke, no. ”
"Good habits. Tong Chao nodded, "I'm not here to look for a job, I'm here to find someone to do me a favor, a day, fifty yuan." ”
The young man smiled disdainfully, scratched his forehead and said, "Don't make trouble, no wonder you can't find anyone." Hourly workers are dozens of dollars an hour, what are you doing and giving fifty yuan a day?
Tong Chao lit the cigarette, only took a few puffs, and threw it out.
The young man felt that he was about to get up and leave, and that it was not pleasant to talk to him.
Tong Chao pointed to the half of the cigarette that popped out of himself: "There are many people around here, you just need to pick up cigarette butts for me, pick up enough for a thousand, and fifty yuan will be yours." Tong Chao waved and pointed to the small square in front of him.
The young man shook his head and looked to the side, and whispered, "Wonderful." ”
"One thousand fifty yuan, ten thousand is five hundred yuan!" Tong Chao tilted his head and glanced at a large clock on the top of the labor market gatehouse, "There are less than thirteen hours until midnight, how much do you think you can earn?"
The young man turned around: "Big brother, don't you make fun of me? Pick up cigarette butts? There are cleaners here, they sweep into the trash can every day, I go directly to the trash can, do you want it?"
"Yes, the more money you get. Tong Chao took out a hundred, "I first estimate that no matter how hard you work today, you won't be able to earn this hundred." ”
"Two thousand cigarette butts, isn't it, cut ~ Okay, buddy, don't play tricks on me, I'll look back and see if you're gone, I'll scatter cigarette butts all over the ground!"
The young man ran to the front, Tong Chao shook his head, and stood up: "I'm waiting for you in this small restaurant, by the window." ”
The young man stopped, stood still and watched Tong Chao enter the small restaurant, and then sat down in his original seat.
"Boss, do you have a credit card machine here? I need a little cash right now. Tong Chaotou didn't look at the shopkeeper sitting there, but at the young man standing still, so he beckoned.
The shopkeeper came over, and at first he didn't want to exchange it for Tong Chao, but when he saw Tong Chao take out a gold card, he was a little happy.
"Brother, you have this kind of bank card, just make a phone call, and they can send it to you?"
Tong Chao smiled: "I don't have a mobile phone! Anyway, your money is change, you have to change it sooner or later, if it's convenient, you can do a favor, I can sit here until midnight, and give you a thousand yuan every hour." ”
"Ouch, okay, okay, whatever. The shopkeeper calculated that at the end of the day, it would be a net income of four or five thousand yuan, and he would have to let the chef be busy stir-frying, according to Tong Chao, he meant to provide him with a place to rest.
"Dude, if you don't feel clean, why don't I invite all the people in the store out?" the shopkeeper smiled and thought to zero o'clock, but with more than 10,000 good things in hand, he couldn't care about his own business.
Tong Chao shook his head: "How lively this is, the restaurant is just to entertain guests." Go ahead, I just need to see that guy. ”
Following the direction of the copper finger, the shopkeeper said: "He, hum~ A few days ago, he came to make trouble, it seems that someone introduced him to the job and charged the intermediary fee, but I don't know what happened, I should not like the job, so I came here to rearrange the work, but the arrangement was not suitable, so I came to return the money." I just called someone to beat me, I saw it. ”
"Alright, alright, you can go about your business. Tong Chao impatiently raised his hand with a hundred pieces.
The boss took the money and walked away with a grin.
The young man outside, he walked around with his head down, picked up a cigarette butt and pinched it in his hand, for fear of losing it, and finally picked up too much, so he stuffed it into his trouser pocket.
The bronze court was fascinated, and the young man also looked back here from time to time.
By the time both trouser pockets were full, there would be no more than a few hundred cigarette butts. Feeling that there were no cigarette butts anywhere, he even saw a smoker, so he went up and smiled and asked if he wanted to throw it away.
A lot of people who smoke here have almost all been asked by this guy, and people think that there is something wrong with him, and they report him with ugly words and cold eyes, and some people even scolded him for having a sick brain and told him to get out of the way.
But he didn't quarrel with him, he didn't have time to quarrel, and the afternoon was over quickly, and it was still early for a thousand cigarette butts.
Maybe I didn't want to rummage through the trash cans at first, thinking it was like a begging for food, but seeing that it was getting dark, I had no choice but to rummage through the trash cans.
He needed to pour out all the things in the trash can and pick them up, pick them up, and look back at Tong Chao, which was still there. I thought that this would not cause the disgust of the Tong Dynasty, so I stuffed all the garbage except for cigarette butts back.
Time passed little by little, in the eyes of the Tong Dynasty, it was like watching a "laborer" show his "work", and the young man did not have time to count the cigarette butts he had already picked up, he felt that it was not enough to count, and time passed quickly in his opinion!
Later, the young man actually took off his shirt, wrapped the dirty cigarette butt in the shirt, grabbed the shirt with one hand, and bent down to pick it up with the other.
When Tong Chao saw him take off his shirt to load cigarette butts, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and at the same time he shook his head, his eyes a little sour.
After dark, the labor market closes after work, and the workers here are leaving, replacing them with some nights out for a walk.
At this time, there were basically few cigarette butts to pick up, so he began to stare at the passing pedestrians, and as soon as someone wanted to throw away the cigarette butts, he immediately rushed over.
At about ten o'clock in the small restaurant, there were almost no people who came to eat, only a table of four men and two women sitting around drinking and chatting.
Tong Chao looked at the guy outside and asked the boss, "What time is it?"
"A little after ten, ten at eight o'clock!" The boss ran over with a smile and sat next to Tong Chao, he looked at the guy who was picking up cigarette butts outside, and put a bottle of carbonated drink in his hand in front of Tong Chao: "Come, drink some water." ”
Tong Chao looked at him: "Boss, you don't have to be polite to me, that is the gold master! Go and fry a few meat and vegetable dishes, the money is calculated separately, when it is twelve o'clock, call the gold master to come over for supper, there are still two hours, now the stir-fry is estimated to be cold, you look at the time." ”
"Eh, okay, do you want anything more?"
"I want these people to leave quickly after eating, they are too drunk, and I look annoyed. Tong Chaoyi stretched out his hand: "Lend me your phone." ”
Tong Chao dialed the number, and the boss also walked over to the table of eaters.
"Hey, Lian Xing, is the store closed?" Tong Chao called a clerk at the aquatic product shop.
Lian Xing is an eighteen-year-old young man who is a summer worker at the aquatic product shop of Ai San and Tong Dynasty. When he heard Tong Chao's voice, he immediately beckoned to another clerk: "Brother Dong, it's Brother Xiaolong's call, you can answer it." ”
is called Brother Dong, called Wu Qidong, who came from Huyang City with Ai San, and is also an old clerk. He wiped the water on his hands, walked over and took the phone: "Hey, Brother Xiaolong." ”
"Qidong, ouch, it's nothing, if there's nothing in the store, you both drive over, I'm now in the third labor market in Jingyue City, and when I arrived here, I saw a guy picking up cigarette butts around, and I knew where I was when I asked him." ”
"Okay, Brother Long, I'll go over right away. ”
Midnight came, Wu Qidong, Chu Lianxing, and the young man holding a cigarette butt wrapped in a shirt slowly came to the small restaurant.
Tong Chao handed the gold card to Wu Qidong: "Go, you two go everywhere to find an ATM, how much you can withdraw." ”
They took the bank cards and went out, and Tong Chao beckoned the shopkeeper to come over and asked him to arrange for someone to come and count the cigarette butts.
At the end, the shopkeeper finished counting and came to report: "Brother, a total of seventeen thousand three hundred and fifty-six cigarette butts!" 8678
Everyone didn't know what to do with so many cigarette butts, and when Qidong and Lianxing came back, they said bitterly: "Brother, what are you teasing us?" There is really a lot of money in it, and after turning several ATMs, you can only withdraw 100,000 yuan, either you have no money, or you have the upper limit. ”
Tong Chao smiled: "Enough is enough, I can exchange ten ATMs a day, and the average daily limit is 20,000." ”
Tong Chao took out eight hundred yuan and handed it to the young man: "The extra sixty-seven yuan eight, I don't want to give it to you, because you didn't believe me at first." ”
The young man took the money, his face was dirty, presumably wiped when he wiped his sweat, and the white vest on his upper body was also dirty.
Then Tong Chao took 20,000 yuan and gave it to the shopkeeper: "There shouldn't be so much, let's say okay, but your attitude is very good, and you really deserve to be engaged in the service catering industry." It's my thanks. ”
Qidong had no expression on his face, and seemed to understand the intentions of the Tong Dynasty very well, but Lian Xing couldn't help but ask: "Brother Xiaolong, what do you mean this, have you eaten his silver or gold?"
Qidong smiled and patted Lian Xing, leaned over and said to Tongchao: "I think it's okay, if you can bring it, it's up to you." ”
Tong Chao nodded and pointed to the young man: "Give you a job, you won't be unemployed within ten years, maybe you will be better than him in the future, can you do it?"
Qidong hurriedly dodged away: "Brother, what are you talking about, what am I." ”
"I'm talking about being better than you're now! Don't you want to be promoted?"
Lian Xing suddenly laughed: "Isn't he the boss of our store now, where is he going?" ”
"I registered a hotel and an Internet café, and the procedures for the Internet café were bought from people who had closed down before, and I thought that one of you would go to the hotel as a manager and the other as an Internet café manager. Lianxing, how much do you look down on you, Brother Long, and me?"
Hearing this, the young man said with some excitement: "I am willing to do it!" Brother Long, my name is Lin Huaiming, Xia Xiang of Jingyue City, I will come out to fight after high school, I will ......."
"Okay, Qidong is handed over to you, accompany him to eat here, after eating, take him around to look around, or tomorrow, change his outfit and teach him you will within a month." ”
Tong Chao pointed to the money on the table, and then to a pile of cigarette butts: "Throw this in the trash." ”
After explaining, Tong Chao grabbed the unfinished drink on the table, hummed a little song and left.
