Chapter 59: Untying the Knot

Although the Dongxing team won the victory, it was a victory not worth celebrating.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, Zhao Qiyou knocked on the door of Liu Yun's room.

"Director Zhao, what's the matter?" Liu Yun asked.

Zhao Qiyou smiled: "Come and help you summon your spirit。。。。。 Let's go, stop curling up in the room, go downstairs. ”

Liu Yun and Zhao Qiyou went downstairs. It is the moon and stars that are scarce, and the warm wind blows. It was a lazy night.

The two sat in the gazebo downstairs of the Jingxi Hotel. Zhao Qiyou, an old man with a fiery temper, also has an elegant side, he said: "There is no moon at night, where there is no bamboo and cypress, but there are few idlers like the two of us." ”

Liu Yun didn't know that Zhao Qiyou was so educated. He was stunned for a moment.

Zhao Qiyou said: "What? Scares you? Are you used to hearing me greet the ancestors of your group of players on the field, and occasionally I drag a text, are you uncomfortable? In fact, this person has a side that others don't know. The day before yesterday, I re-watched the video of the game against the Chang'an Tigers and overheard a conversation between the two commentators. I think it makes sense. Which part of the person is the whitest? The feet are the whitest. Do you know why your feet are the whitest? ”

Liu Yun asked, "Why?" ”

Zhao Qiyou replied: "The narrator said it really well, he said that the whitest feet are because people always hide their feet in their shoes!" But then I thought, why are we all sweating so much when we play football? Isn't it because you have to wear sneakers and cover your feet in summer games? So there is always something hidden that will hide the disease. ”

Liu Yun is not a stupid person, how could he not know the meaning of Zhao Qiyou's words?

Zhao Qiyou said again: "Okay, we are both former soldiers, be straightforward, don't beat around the bush." What the hell is going on with you? The whole person is like losing his soul? In your current state, I don't dare to send you on the field in the knockout round! You're not playing to help the team, you're hurting the team! ”

Liu Yun said with some guilt: "Because of money。。。。。 ”

Zhao Qiyou was dumbfounded: "Because of money? Short of money? How much is missing? ”

Liu Yun shook his head: "It's not a lack of money. Rather, he made a fortune。。。。。 Scare yourself. ”

Zhao Qiyou asked, "Oh? How much money did you make? How is it earned? ”

Liu Yun replied: "Two million." The ridiculous cola group asked me to be a spokesperson, and the endorsement fee was 。。。。。。 Director Zhao, I'm not afraid of your jokes. I have lived most of my life, and I have suffered from poverty for most of my life! I've never seen so much money! The money went to my card... I'm not afraid of your jokes。。。。。。 ”

Liu Yun took off his shoes, took out a bank card from under the insole, and put it on the stone table.

Liu Yun said: "Director Zhao, you can laugh at me." I also know that these two million have made me abnormal. Let's just say that the bank card is hidden under the insole. This is not something that a normal person can do. ”

Zhao Qiyou was stunned at first, and then laughed.

Liu Yun said ashamedly: "Director Zhao, you just laugh at me!" I'm ridiculous. Unpromising.... Haven't seen it on the market。。。。。 ”

Zhao Qiyou restrained his smile and said, "Liu Yun, if you talk about age, you won't lose if I call you a big nephew." My eldest nephew, I don't laugh because I think you're funny, but because I think you're like a person! ”

Liu Yun asked, "Like whom?" ”

Zhao Qiyou smiled and said, "Like me!" ”

Zhao Qiyou lit a cigarette, looked at the bright moon and said to Liu Yun while reminiscing: "After the self-defense and counterattack against Vietnam, I worked in the army for a while. In the end, he became a deputy company-level cadre. Later, in time for the million-dollar disarmament, my unit was on the reduction list. If I am discharged normally, the resettlement office will arrange a job for me. However, because of the disarmament, the resettlement office only issued a one-time subsidy of 2,000 yuan.

I still remember that it was noon when I went to the resettlement office to collect the resettlement fee. I found a restaurant for lunch. The dish I ordered was Gong Bang Chicken, five yuan. I thought that my placement fee would be enough to buy 400 pieces of fried chicken.

Do you say I hate my country? I don't hate! Because I know that, compared to those comrades-in-arms who died in Vietnam, it is already a great blessing for me to be able to sit quietly in a small restaurant and have a full meal!

When you retire, you have to find a job, don't you? But I joined the army as a scout at the age of eighteen, and retired at the age of twenty-seven。。。。。 I can't think of what I can do.

Later, a fellow villager introduced me to a factory in Huhai to work as a sheet metal worker. My job is to hammer on the pieces of iron all day. It's just banging and banging, and five years have passed.

At that time, our country had just reformed and opened up, and there were not many small traders and vendors. Once, when I returned to my hometown from Huhai to visit relatives, I brought a few ties that I bought in a store in Huhai. At that time, ties were a rarity. Who's a young man gets married with a tie, hey, very energetic! I was going to give the tie to a few of my relatives' younger brothers of marriage age.

Who would have thought that at the transfer station in northern Jiangsu, my money was stolen, and only a sack of bedding and a few ties remained.

You have to scrape together the money to go home, right? Beg? I, a man who has been a soldier, fought a war, and shed blood for the country, can't pull that face! We can't embarrass the August 1st military emblem, can we?

I put a sheet on the floor. Sell these ties!

I distinctly remember that as soon as the thing was placed on the ground, a crowd of people immediately gathered around it. There are a total of five ties, I bought them for 45 yuan in Shanghai, and when I changed hands, I sold them for more than 160 yuan! Triple the net income!

I took the money and went back to my hometown. Lying on the broken rattan bed in my hometown, I thought, since ties are so in demand, why don't I buy a batch in Huhai and sell them in northern Jiangsu?

I went back to Huhai, maybe God really helped me. An old comrade-in-arms was transferred to a supply and marketing cooperative in Shanghai as a deputy section chief. He gave me a strip, and the supply and marketing cooperatives sold me a batch of ties. I clearly remember that I took the salary I had saved from working as a sheet metal worker for five years, plus the retirement allowance, a total of 4,000 and 25 yuan, and bought 490 ties. I put my tie in a snakeskin sack and carried it to northern Jiangsu.

In less than three days, the tie was sold out! I received a total of 15,000 yuan, and I made a net profit of more than 10,000 yuan!

You know, at that time, 10,000 yuan was enough to buy a house in an old alley in Shanghai! That's a lot of money!

My whole body was scared crazy with this 10,000 yuan. I never thought it would be so easy to make such a lot of money! Do you know how crazy I am?

For half a month, I got up after sleeping for 1 hour every night, and desperately ordered the 10,000 yuan like a fool. After ordering, put it in a tin box and press it under the pillow. Then sleep for another hour and get up again. Click again。。。。。 It's like losing my soul."
