Chapter 3: The First Pot of Gold
"Uh...... Do you bring your ID card?" I asked, Xiao Nan is 18 years old this year, and he should have an ID card.
"Nope. ”
"How can we go to the hotel to open a room without ID cards?" I asked.
"Who said I was going to open a room with you?" Xiao Nan snorted me, "Did you forget? Didn't my aunt introduce me to a job? Otherwise, I have to go into the city tomorrow, and I happened to be here today, so we will stay at my aunt's house tonight, and I will go to work directly tomorrow morning." ”
I thought about it for a long time before I remembered that Xiao Nan had worked in a leather shoe factory in the city for a while, and my aunt was the accountant of the leather shoe factory at that time.
"What about you, Xiao Yi, if you don't go home, how can you explain to your parents?" Xiao Nan asked me.
I thought about it for a while and said, "You call your parents and say, I came to the city to participate in the high school entrance examination training class, the number of places is limited, anyway, the school doesn't teach much, and it will be better to study here for half a month." ”
"Is it appropriate to lie to your parents like this?" Xiao Nan bit her lip, frowned and asked, "Xiao Yi, I feel like you're weird today, what's wrong?"
"Sister, don't ask, don't worry, I can handle my own affairs. ”
Xiao Nan looked suspicious, but did not continue to ask.
After 20 years, I can't remember the location of my aunt's old house, but fortunately, Xiao Nan has been here and knows where it is.
Riding a motorcycle to my aunt's house, my aunt and my sister-in-law went to work, there was only my cousin at home, this is my cousin, although she has a good figure, her appearance is not inferior to Xiao Nan, she is still a little nurse, but I can't think about her.
Xiao Nan used her aunt's phone to call home, and my mother answered the phone.
Xiao Nan said, I went to the cram school, because the registration deadline is noon today, I didn't have time to tell my family, and I took the money.
My mother has always been supportive of studying, but she didn't ask questions, just asked Xiao Nan to tell me, pay attention to safety.
After getting home, I managed to find our school's phone number, through the office, to my homeroom teacher, and asked for leave for the same reason.
At that time, cram schools were a novelty (and maybe they didn't exist at all), and my homeroom teacher didn't know much about it, saying that he just remembered to take the exam.
After achieving "personal freedom", I took a shower and my cousin cooked for both of us.
After dinner, my cousin took Xiao Nan out shopping, and I lay on my cousin's bed and began to wonder, how to make money?
I dreamed for a long time, and I had no clue, because I had never done business in my previous life, I went to the police academy in college, I was admitted to the police in my senior year, and I went to work directly after graduation, and my circle of friends was relatively pure, most of them were colleagues, and I had not had much contact with business.
Thinking of a messy head, I decided to go out and look for inspiration.
My aunt's family lives in a building, an old-fashioned 7-story residential building, but in 1998 it was very high-end, and there were few decent real estate in the city.
I only started smoking when I went to college, and now my 15-year-old body has zero dependence on nicotine, but I still want to smoke one.
I went up the steps, and if I looked closely, they were all "old" cigarette brands, and then most of them disappeared, so I picked a bag of "Stone Forest", and my dad smoked this "back then", which should be okay.
"Uncle, how much?"
"Four pieces of five. ”
"How much?" I asked in surprise, remembering that this is a good cigarette, why is it only four dollars and five?
"Too expensive?" the boss sneered, "There are cheap ones, red camellia, alder, two pieces of five." ”
"No, it's cheap. I smiled and took out a brown "five-yuan bill", which is the fourth set of RMB, and on the front of the banknote, it is not the portrait of Grandpa Mao, but two ethnic minority compatriots.
The boss asked me for five cents, I said get a lighter, the boss gave me a plastic lighter, and found me three cents.
I was shocked again, a lighter, only two cents?
That is to say, if you wholesale in large quantities, the cost will be a dime, needless to say that 20 years later, when I went to college, that is, 5 years after 1998, the price of lighters has risen to one dollar, if, now I have 100,000 principal, all buy lighters, hoard, then 5 years later, 100,000, will become 1 million!
However, no one can see this business opportunity now, because no one will think that a small lighter, the value-added space will be so large, the reason why I can foresee it, because I "come from" 20 years later, know the direction of social development, understand the general economic changes.
"Boss, let me ask you, how much is the housing price in this community?" I asked, pointing to my aunt's community.
"It's expensive, more than 400 and one flat!"
The house I bought in this city in 2012 was not a particularly good community, and the average price at that time had exceeded 8,000 yuan, which has increased 20 times in 14 years!
I lit a cigarette and sat on the steps, and my mind suddenly opened, I don't know the skills of doing business, but I can make full use of the advantage of rebirth, as long as I find the right direction of investment, I can make money.
Now the society's science and technology and economy are underdeveloped, and even Baidu and QQ are not available, whether I am engaged in real estate, or the Internet, or even open a restaurant, I can make a fortune -- in 1998, hot pot was only a local diet in Sichuan and Chongqing, who would have thought that ten years later, hot pot restaurants would be all over the country...... No, the cost of opening a chain store is too high and unrealistic.
Well, even if you don't engage in business, I like the "Bright Sword" TV series very much, I've watched it more than 30 times, and I'm confident that I can write the script from memory, and when the time comes, I can make millions by signing a sharing contract with a film and television company, right?
Well, writing books burns the brain, writing songs is simple, in 1998, Zhou Jieluan has not debuted yet!
In short, for me, there are opportunities to make money now!
The more I thought about it, the more excited I became, however, as the nicotine was in my blood, I gradually calmed down.
It's not realistic to write songs and books, you can't find Bole, you have to rely on business.
However, no matter what business you do, you need the principal, I took more than 1,000 yuan from home, and gave Xiao Nan various inspections in the morning, and now, there are only more than 200 yuan left, what can I do with this money?
No, I have to try to get the "first pot of gold", and I have to have 18,000 yuan before I can invest in other things.
With a cigarette in my mouth, I walked aimlessly down the street, pondering how to make money as I went.
As I walked, I saw two groups of people arguing in front of me, and for a while, I forgot my current identity and went up to deal with it professionally.
"What are you arguing about, what are you arguing about, and you dare to do it? Believe it or not, I'll arrest you!" I pointed to a guy with a shovel in his hand, and craned my eyes to scare him.
"Little bastard, what's the matter with you, get out of here!" The shovel man pushed me away, probably just smoking too much, I was a little confused, my feet fluttered, and I staggered, and sat on the ground.
"Grass Nima's!"
"I'm damn you!"
The last cruel words before the standard Northeast fight, after which, the two groups began to fight.
I came to my senses, the shovel man was right, I am indeed a "little cub" now, where can I be qualified to take care of their affairs? Thinking of this, I quickly crawled away, squatted in the corner to watch the excitement, and looked at their dress, not gangsters, but two groups of construction workers.
After a chaotic battle, the land was violent, and a young man was kicked to my side and lay on the ground, I held him and asked casually: "Why are you fighting?"
"Our group dug up two jars of 'big money', and those fools said that those who saw it had a share and wanted to take away one jar, so wouldn't this be done! Brother, tell me, are they unreasonable?"
Big money is ancient coins and copper coins.
I nodded and said earnestly, "The ancient coins dug up from the ground should be handed over to the state." ”
"I'm going to fuck you!" the boy gave me a kick, turned his head and went to war again, and suddenly, half a brick flew and almost hit me on the head, and I hurried away from the battlefield, running far away, so as not to hurt the innocent.
Alas, these legally illiterate people are really hopeless.
I remember about last year (2017), I dealt with a similar case, and the workers dug up ancient coins, the Liao Dynasty, the spoils were unevenly distributed, and the fight broke out, the masses called the police, I took a few auxiliary police to control the violence, and confiscated all the ancient coins and handed them over to the cultural relics department.
At that time, one of my buddies said that I was stupid, why don't I sneak around and keep a jar, that thing is worth a lot.
I said that the police have law enforcement cameras, and there is no chance - hey, wait, isn't this an opportunity!
I am not referring to the ancient coins that the two groups of workers fought for in front of me, but the one I encountered in 2017, at that time, on the alarm information turned by 110, the masses said very clearly, the place of the crime was in the "Xinhua" leather shoe factory, saying that it was to demolish the old canteen, rebuild the original site, and lay the foundation, from the northeast corner of the canteen, dug out several jars of ancient coins, causing disputes.
Now, in 1998, those jars of ancient coins of the Liao Dynasty must still be buried under the canteen......
