Chapter 38: The Way of Money
After coming out of the hospital, Wang Ying and Sister Hong didn't agree to the suggestion to send them home, the security in the small county town is still very good, and the weather is hot, and there are many people enjoying the shade under the street lamps on the side of the road, but there is no need to worry about safety.
"Sister Yingying, Sister Hong, come to our house to play in the future......" After waving goodbye to the two sisters he had just met, Feng Guo took Ye Tian to ride to the acquisition station.
"Ye Tian, what do you say about these three yuan when you go back?"
Pedaling the bicycle, the situation was bitter, although the medical treatment is not very expensive, but it also cost three yuan for medicine, in this era when the average monthly salary per capita is only thirty or forty yuan, three yuan is not a small amount.
After Ye Tian heard the words of Feng Qian, he thought for a while before saying: "Crazy brother, tell my dad honestly when you go back, he won't blame your ......"
Ye Tian has been like this since he was a child, he doesn't admit small mistakes, and big mistakes have always taken the initiative to confess, and Ye Dongping has never punished Ye Tian for what he said.
Just like last year, Ye Tian and Fat Dun stole the gunpowder and ** used to open the mountain and go to the reservoir to fry fish, the unlucky Fat Dun was caught by the reservoir administrator on the spot, Ye Tian knew that he couldn't hide, and he confessed when he went home.
Although he was fined twenty yuan by the reservoir afterwards, Ye Dongping didn't say anything, just asked Ye Tian to write an inspection, but it was this kind of understatement that made Ye Tian feel even more sad, and after that incident, he was much more honest.
"This ...... Is this okay? Feng asked a little hesitantly, he was a few years older than Ye Tian, and he would be afraid of doing something wrong.
"It's okay, I know my dad, I won't say anything about you......"
After Ye Tian made a guarantee, he was relieved, but he knew that his uncle's shop was nominally owned by him, but the actual owner was actually the father and son.
After returning to the acquisition station, Feng Qing told Ye Dongping about the dispute with people in the movie today, and sure enough, as Ye Tian said, Ye Dongping didn't say much, and the money for Ye Tian's medical treatment was also included in the public account.
Early the next morning, the few scavengers who were contacted by the closure came to the acquisition station with a board car, and in just one day, all kinds of waste products were piled up in the yard of the acquisition station, and more than 2,000 yuan was spent.
This made Ye Dongping and Feng Feng stunned, but also overjoyed, a little unable to believe the harvest of this day.
You must know that although they spent more than 2,000 yuan, they could make at least four or five hundred yuan after selling these things to the state-run purchasing station.
And what came today is just a few waste pickers around the acquisition station, if the scavengers of the entire county are condensed together, even if you calculate conservatively, you can make tens of thousands of dollars a year.
Not to mention the country baby, Ye Dongping from Beijing, was also taken aback by this number.
In this era of increasingly transforming from a planned economy to a market economy, Ye Dongping has fully realized that in the future society, he is now looked down upon, but he is a self-employed person with a lot of money, and he may become the upstart of this society.
Just like the truth in people's concept of laughing at poverty and not prostitution, as long as you have money in the future, identity and status will follow, as for whether you are self-employed or iron rice bowl, I am afraid no one will care anymore.
**********
There is always a goal in life to generate motivation, and after seeing the bright "money road", whether it is Feng Guo or Ye Dongping, they are so busy that they are spinning.
Feng Guo is responsible for sending the waste to the state-owned acquisition station, while Ye Dongping sits in the purchase station, sorting out and classifying the waste sent by the waste pickers.
However, the good situation only lasted for two days, and the waste products sent by the scavengers were greatly reduced, and the total amount was a little more than what Feng Guo himself collected, which made Feng Guo and Ye Dongping a little unexpected.
After waiting for a day, the scrap sent by those few waste pickers was not enough for a truckload, and I didn't go to the state-owned acquisition station today, so it was not worth a trip for such a thing.
"Uncle Ye, what's going on?"
In the evening, the mood of the closure became a little depressed, as the saying goes, "from thrift to luxury, from easy to thrifty difficult", the harvest of the first two days, so that the closure has not looked at the current income.
"Fengzi, we were a little too optimistic before......"
Ye Dongping took a sip of the inferior cigarette in his hand, and said: "Think about it, everyone's life is not easy now, and useless things will not be thrown out, they sent so many waste products a few days ago, I guess it is still the same as before, and the things are sold out, so naturally there will be less......"
The reason is actually very simple, Ye Dongping is also thinking about ** is not far from ten, those who pick up the rags generally rarely spend money to collect scrap, many of them are picked, and now people are used to selling the scrap, so they can get less and less.
"What then? Uncle Ye, you are a learned person, but you give you an idea! ”
Hearing Ye Dongping's words, the sealing situation suddenly became anxious, and he had a dream of making a fortune for less than two days, but couldn't it be shattered so quickly?
"Fengzi, it's not that there is no way to ......"
Ye Dongping thought for a moment and said: "That's it, let's not rush to sell the scrap products sent to the state-owned side first, don't stay in the acquisition station, run to Dongcheng, and see if you can bring all the people who pick up the rags over there to us?" ”
This was originally discussed by them before, but there were too many scraps sent a few days ago, and they didn't care about this matter, and now there is a broken chain in the scrap acquisition, so Ye Dongping brought it up again.
Although the county is not large, there are hundreds of thousands of people living, and there are definitely not a few waste products left over and thrown away every day.
"Hey, yes, Uncle Ye, you're right, I'll go out and find those people today......"
After hearing Ye Dongping's words, he slapped his thigh, he couldn't even take care of dinner at the moment, and he often ran in Dongcheng when he pushed the bicycle, most of the people who picked up the rags at night were at home, and if it was changed to daytime, it was estimated that there would be no few people.
"Dad, why is the crazy brother going?"
Ye Tian, who took a look at the sealing situation, walked into the acquisition station with a puzzled face, he has no one to care about these days, he doesn't go home until he eats, and Ye Dongping doesn't know what his son has done all day.
"You stinky boy, you haven't seen anyone all day, what the hell are you doing? School is going to start in a few days, and you're going to have to take care of it......"
In the past few days, Ye Dongping really can't take care of Ye Tian, and after taking Ye Tian to visit the head teacher once, he herded the sheep, and he is also responsible.
"Dad, don't worry, I've read almost all the textbooks in junior high school, it's not difficult......" Ye Tian smiled and brought up the meal prepared by Ye Dongping.
In the past few days, Ye Tian has been squatting on a street in Dongcheng where the smoke and miasma have gathered all kinds of people, watching those fortune tellers set up stalls, he doesn't dare to tell his father, otherwise it will be another lesson.
"By the way, Dad, what the hell did the crazy brother do? I don't think his face is very good, don't go out for anything......" Just now, Ye Tian saw that Feng Qian's face was a little vague, and he couldn't help but ask again.
