Diary of an Exile (xxxviii)
"Yes, yes, no less. When I save up to 100, you can expect to bring back 3 or 400, but now there is nothing. I said.
"You can figure it out and be a smart person, I'm happy that the Lu family has produced talents. Listen to what I'm going to say next, I don't know what you have to do with the sea. If we go back in a year or even two years, we don't have much money on us, right? How do you expect your big brother to return the money to you while supporting himself, people will only have a hundred years of life. No one is exempt from this, I will not live for fifty years, and you will be nothing more than seventy or eighty years. He owes me three hundred and twenty points, and if we go back like this, we will all be the ones who will continue to work. Uncle said.
"I understand, Uncle wants to make enough money. And then go back and stop working? Enough money for retirement? How much is that? I said.
Uncle smiled and said, "Actually, I won't tell you, Brother Shi has been down for 100,000 points in the twelfth year, have you heard?" ”
I nodded.
Uncle said: "I came three years before him, but I'm almost zero now. What do you think is wrong inside? ”
"Suppression? Wait, more than 300 points before. 100,000 to 300 is not right, right? Uncle, what else did you do? I said.
"One point, my points are actually used for other purposes." Uncle said.
"These words are something that Han Dong can't hear?" I said again.
"Brother Shi can't trust others, so he will keep all the points by himself. He had a fatal heel in not running anything else he could get his hands on except this Devil's City. I'm different, I'm just like Song Jiang in ancient times. Knowing people and making good use of them is king, of course, you may not understand. I would like to say that this time the monopoly of cigarettes was also caused by me. Uncle said.
"Cigarette monopoly?" I said puzzled.
"The reason is also very simple, Brother Shi cultivates prisoners. If you give benefits, you will work, and if you don't have benefits, you will be like rotten meat? I'm raising brothers, and I can put the mud back on the wall and reinforce it as a whole wall. Didn't you see that I sent away two 300 brothers last week? After deducting 100 points, they each took 200 Utopia coins in exchange for something else, to get the guards to open their mouths and smoke. Now the reason why the three bosses are so angry is because the tobacco is cheaper, and they spent a lot of money to give away a Han Dong, and my side has also made preparations. What will happen if you send out so many cents and buy back a bunch of low-quality cigarettes, but in less than a week, you find that the price of cigarettes outside is cheaper than before you started? Uncle said.
"Gas, for sure." I said.
"The guards have clear rewards and punishments, but the guards are also people. If it is a human being, there will be a weakness, and the tobacco in the entire city of A has become useless. Brother Shi and the three big brothers love to smoke, but they can only be customers with money in their hands, but I am different. What I hold in my hand is a person, and I am a big seller. Uncle said.
"Uncle, what have you been doing for so many years without coming back?" I said.
Uncle pointed to his ear and said, "I can't hear in this ear, it's caused by Brother Shi." Now I have all my plans in place, except for one person who needs to carry them out. ”
"Tell me, could it be me?" I said.
"A brother is a brother, and a blood relationship is a blood relationship. I trust you the most in this place, and I can see how good you are to the sea. I need you to do something, and it has become three hundred and twenty that the sea owes you. That is, the money you owe me will be written off, and we will be able to intervene in the entire sales channel after we go back. Reselling some cigarettes from City A to City C to buy them, this channel alone is enough for our family to pass on. Uncle said.
