Chapter 6: The White Wolf with Empty Gloves
The three sisters and brothers of the Zhang family like to pay New Year's greetings to their grandparents and grandmothers, not only because they have red envelopes, but also because there are cars to sit in back and forth.
This is all thanks to Wang Qingshan, a distant cousin of her mother Wu Xiulan, who, like Wu Xiulan, came from the countryside and worked as a driver in the trolley class of the Nanbin State-owned Power Machinery Factory. Every New Year's holiday, he will drive a jeep back to his hometown, anyway, the power machinery factory that produces diesel engines is profitable, and almost all the drivers of the team do this.
Early the next morning, Zhang Hui and Zhang Lin carried large bags of New Year's gifts and waited outside the east gate of the machinery factory with the charter. Wu Xiulan had already said hello, and before she could wait long, Wang Qingshan's jeep stopped by the gate.
It was Chinese New Year's Eve, and people were rushing back to their hometown for the New Year, Zhang Hui did not dare to delay too much time, asked Uncle Wang and Aunt Gu to be good, stuffed a box of Liangyou cigarettes into the cab, and sent the charter to the car.
There are few vehicles and pedestrians on the road, coupled with the fast speed of the car, and there is no need to stop and take passengers like a long-distance car, so I arrived at the destination of this trip before lunch - Lianhua Village, Donghu Township, Longhai County.
Grandparents and a few cousins and cousins were already looking forward to it at the entrance of the village, and when they saw their grandson, they were so happy that they naturally had to be polite to Wang Qingshan, so they had to take them to the house for dinner. For the Chinese New Year, who can go to other people's houses for dinner? Wang Qingshan hurriedly refused the kindness of the second elder, and after agreeing to return to the city, he drove back to his hometown in the neighboring village.
"San'er, is your grandmother okay?" On the way home, my grandfather took the charter's hand and asked long and short questions.
"Okay, I ate two bowls of rice yesterday, and I'm in good spirits."
"That's good, that's good."
Seeing that her cousin Wu Xiaolian, who was one year older than herself, shyly replied and secretly looked here, she felt a little funny, pointed to the net pocket in her cousin Wu Xiaojun's hand and said with a smile: "Sister Lian, there are two clothes in your pocket, which my sister specially brought to you from the south, go back and try it to see if it fits." ”
The eldest grandson held a cardboard box containing cigarettes and wine, and the second grandson's bag contained clothes and shoes. ”
Grandma gave him a roll of the eyes, raised the bar and said, "You old thing who doesn't know what to do, why don't you say this when you show off in front of others?" ”
The old couple quarreled, and the juniors covered their mouths and snickered, but no one dared to laugh out loud.
In the countryside, having a relative in the city is a very face-saving thing, not to mention that the charter is a serious "business hukou". As soon as they entered the door, the eldest uncle, the second uncle, the eldest aunt and the second aunt pulled them to ask long and short questions, and the cousin and cousin showed a look of envy.
Mother Wu Xiulan couldn't come back, so the heavy responsibility of greeting her uncles and relatives naturally fell on the charter.
As soon as the lunch bowl was lost, the charter began to go door-to-door under the leadership of my grandfather with the morning preparation of the haode New Year's gift. You stuff a handful of melon seeds at home, and stuff a handful of peanuts at his house, but you can't put it in your pocket before you finish turning, so you can only stuff it into your little cousin's pocket.
The uncle works as a carpenter, the two children do not go to school, the economic conditions are relatively good, and there is a black and white TV at home. It is precisely because of this that the charter finally took a fancy to the Spring Festival Gala.
Take the New Year's money, play cards, keep vigil, and celebrate the New Year in the countryside is far more New Year's flavor than in the city.
"San'er, are you really not going to school anymore?" For him to drop out of school, the eldest cousin Wu Xiaozhu seems to be very incomprehensible.
"It's really not up," the charter said with a smile while playing cards: "Brother, if it weren't for the New Year, I would still have something real to ask you for." ”
"What's the matter, it's all my own brother, what's so embarrassing?"
"I'm going to sell cigarettes after the Chinese New Year, and I want you to help me make a box for cigarettes, just like the flat, big ones in the movie, which can be hung on the chest and closed."
The eldest cousin was learning carpentry from his father, and it was really nothing to him, so he agreed: "I still think that there are live fans and wood at home, and I have covered them." ”
In order not to delay the affairs of the charter, the little brothers did what they said, and they did not keep watch at night, and they were busy with carpentry work, sawing, sawing, and planing. Even my cousin Wu Xiaolian came to help, afraid that the cigarette would fall off the lid, so she pulled it several times with a rubber band.
The eldest cousin looked up while playing sandpaper and said, "San'er, I don't want to be a carpenter for the rest of my life, I want to go out and see the world, why don't you bring me with you." ”
Nanbin is a prefecture-level city, and the market is very large, but I am not afraid that my eldest cousin will grab business with me, not to mention that they are all a family. Looking at Wu Xiaozhu's expectant look, the charter pointed to the uncle who was playing cards with the second uncle and asked, "I don't have any problems, the key is whether your father can agree?" ”
"As long as you agree, I'll go talk to him now."
What surprised the charter was that under the stalking of the eldest cousin, the eldest uncle and the eldest aunt actually agreed like their mother! Of course, there are also conditions, if you do a good job, it's nothing, and if you don't do a good job, you will come back early and continue to learn from his carpenter. It's really not a family, not a family.
So, the carpentry had to go on, and in addition to the charter, he had to do it himself.
In the next two days, the charter did not stay at the uncle's house, and after paying New Year's greetings to the aunt and the aunt, he rode the uncle's bicycle with the eldest cousin from village to village. Focus on the small shops in the village to learn about the cigarette market in the countryside.
As expected, most of the stores are outlets under the supply and marketing cooperatives, and there are also some small shops opened by private individuals. Their cigarettes are taken from the township supply and marketing cooperatives, the township supply and marketing cooperatives are taken from the county sugar, tobacco and liquor companies, the county sugar, tobacco and liquor companies are taken from the city sugar, tobacco and liquor companies, and the city sugar, tobacco and liquor companies are brought in from the tobacco companies.
There are too many intermediate links, the supply channels are not smooth, in order to buy a few more cigarettes, I have to beg grandpa to worship grandma, begging superiors to give more jihua. The shortcomings of the Jihua economy are obvious, but it is a business opportunity for the charter.
"Uncle Cao, do you want to bargain for cigarettes?"
On the morning of the third day, the charter took the first step of "speculation", lying in front of the wooden counter of the shop at the entrance of the village to talk about the first business after rebirth.
The grandson of the old Wu family, a city man who is a serious child, his father is still a martyr, so he shouldn't be untrustworthy. Cao Rengui, who was out of stock of cigarettes early during the Spring Festival, of course would not miss the opportunity, and asked with interest: "San'er, can you really get bargaining cigarettes?" ”
"If you can't get it, can I still open this mouth? I'm afraid that Uncle Cao, you are too expensive. After finishing speaking, the charter was just right to pay tribute to the "good friend" brought by the eldest brother-in-law Liu Siwei from the south.
Go with my brother and smoke good friends; Follow my brother and sit on the crown!
Looking at the fake good friend cigarette in his hand, Cao Rengui completely believed it. Because foreign cigarettes like Liangyou can't be bought with money in Longhai County, of course, the price of a pack is as high as four yuan and five, and ordinary people can't afford it.
Wu Xiaozhu saw that there was a play, and immediately boasted: "Uncle Cao, don't you know, my aunt is in the Municipal Power Supply Bureau, my uncle is a martyr, and my sister works in the Special Economic Zone, what kind of cigarettes can't my brother get?" Come...... I'll give you a few cents a piece, don't waste it. ”
"I believe, I believe," Cao Rengui turned his head, pointed to the pile of empty cigarette boxes on the shelf and asked, "San'er, how many big phoenix butterflies and forts are there at the bargain?" ”
There is still a gap between the countryside and the city, the most popular thing in the city is the yellow osmanthus one piece, and the two kinds of cigarettes that Cao Rengui asked are only more than two cents a box. Thinking of the amount of travel in the future, the charter smiled: "The big phoenix butterfly is three pieces five, the fort is three pieces three, and one is expensive and six cents." If you give money first, you can also get a dime off that one. ”
In the countryside, it is a huge profit to disassemble the cigarettes and sell them, and the big phoenix butterfly of two cents and nine cents is sold for five cents a piece, and a box can earn seven cents. Although the charter has increased the price, can it be called a bargain if it does not increase the price? Even if you add a few cents a piece, it is profitable, the key is to have goods.
His grandparents' house is here, and the monk can't run the temple, Cao Rengui weighed it and said: "Add five cents, add five cents, I will set ten for each of these two kinds of cigarettes!" ”
After finishing speaking, he immediately counted sixty-six yuan and asked the charter to write a receipt. The people of this era are so simple, and it is so easy for the white wolf to empty the gloves. A deposit was in hand, and then it was out of control, several villages turned around, more than 500 yuan more in their pockets, and more than 100 cigarettes were owed outside.
The uncle was dumbfounded, and the grandfather was frightened, for fear that these two boys would cause a monstrous disaster, and he couldn't even wait for Wang Qingshan's hitchhiker, so he insisted on taking a ticket to ask them to go to the smoke quickly, otherwise they wouldn't even be able to sleep.
"San'er, how much money can we make by bringing cigarettes back?" On the long-distance bus, Wu Xiaozhu hugged the canvas bag and didn't let go, for fear that this huge amount of money would be robbed.
The charter yawned, and said lightly: "If you cut the round-trip fare, you can probably earn eighty." ”
"What? Eighty bucks? ”
Wu Xiaozhu opened his mouth wide, he couldn't believe it was true, you must know that a craftsman like his father only earns five yuan a day, and he may not have to do it every day.
"Tap, for fear that others won't hear?" The charter pinched his arm hard, and said proudly: "It's only eighty yuan like this?" What should I do if I earn 880,000 in the future? Seriously, if it weren't for the channel, I really wouldn't want to earn these eighty yuan. ”
"What channel?"
"Sales channels, we build a relationship with them by selling cigarettes, once they are born and twice cooked, and they can naturally find them when they sell other things in the future, otherwise we will only rely on the two of us to sell one by one, and if we want to make 880,000 yuan in the Year of the Monkey?"
In the end, he grew up in a big city, that is, he has knowledge, Wu Xiaozhu felt that he had come out of the right place this time, and said with a sincere face: "Charter, before leaving, my father told me to listen to you everything." I found out that my dad was right, you have a good brain and knowledge, and my brother will do it with you from now on. ”
