Chapter 144: The Wandering Merchant Hawker

"Come, I'll help you count, there are twenty stacks here, and thirty stacks over there, which are five thousand two hundred dollars in total."

Huang Ren squinted at Zhu Xiaoyan proudly while counting, and said, "You three brothers and sisters, just take pictures and eat soil here, and eat for ten days and a half months, I'm afraid you won't see so much money." ”

Hearing her uncle Huang Ren say that the three of them were taking pictures and eating soil here, Zhu Xiaoyan showed an embarrassed expression.

She always felt that it was a bit embarrassing to stand in front of the scenic spot to make money, which was very different from her father making money as a worker in a tractor factory.

Zhu Xiaohua didn't think so, he came and said: "Whether it's eating soil or gold, we take pictures of tourists and make money openly, and there is nothing to be ashamed of." It's you, I'm afraid this wet money is really a little dirty. ”

Huang Ren continued to put money with a smile on his face, pointing to the tape recorder as he went, and said, "Do you know, my tape recorder, plus the tape in the bag, costs more than 1,500 yuan, which is much more expensive than your broken camera." ”

Zhu Xiaohua and Zhu Xiaoyan said: "You cow, you have money." ”

Huang Ren didn't hear the opposite, smiled a little proudly, and asked, "If I remember correctly, your broken Honda motorcycle is more than 8,000 yuan." Look at my Suzuki moto again. I have one motorcycle, and I can buy you two. ”

Zhu Xiaohua was speechless.

It's not that he doesn't want to refute, but looking at it now, this uncle Huang Ren is indeed richer than himself.

Huang Ren said: "Look at your father, he still has a formal job in the tractor factory." After your father died, the three of you were left to work as petty traders and peddlers on the streets. Hey, it's really not as good as the generation, it's too unproductive. ”

In this era, the merchant was still a very despised profession.

In everyone's eyes, the workers of state-owned factories and scientific and technological workers are the real pillars of the country, and even the salesmen in state-run stores and the conductors on buses are much more noble and respected than traveling businessmen like Zhu Xiaohua.

Zhu Xiaohua was silent.

Zhu Xiaoyan opened her mouth to refute, Zhu Xiaoyan said: "You said that my brother is a small trader, so you are not the same, specializing in speculative business?" ”

Huang Ren was stunned, but he didn't expect Zhu Xiaoyan to refute him.

Huang Ren said: "Don't compare me with a small street vendor like you, I am engaged in wholesale in the south, and I do regular trading. ”

Xiao Wang, who finished placing the banknotes, stood up and said: "That is, you wandering merchants and idle traders who operate without a license, a group of idle people in society who do not have a serious job, why do you compare with Mr. Huang, Mr. Huang is a big deal, and he is a hundred times more noble than the lowest-end wandering dealers like you." ”

Xiao Wang looked at Zhu Xiaohua's brothers and sisters with a disdainful expression.

Huang Ren said: "I tell you Zhu Xiaohua, don't think that if you make some money, you can go to heaven." Let me tell you, in front of my uncle and me, you are still tender. What you are doing now is just a wandering merchant and idle peddler, and you are still 108,000 miles away from the real mainstream of society. ”

"Alas, after your dad died. I think your Zhu family will only be on the fringes of society in the future, doing some unobtrusive work, and earning a little money to support your family. ”

Huang Ren shook his head as he spoke.

"Also, don't think that if you buy Huang Jun, you can get to know me very well. Tell you, your little cleverness is not even a fart to me. What about your brother and sister? Your ability to get them back is just one less burden to me.

"I'm an uncle, and I want to thank you. I don't have to worry about your Zhu family's affairs in the future. ”

Listening to Huang Ren's words, Zhu Xiaoyan's face was full of embarrassment, and she also felt that taking pictures of people in the scenic spot, her face was dull, inferior, and a little embarrassing, which was incompatible with the concept of people advocating working as a worker in a state-owned factory in this era.

Zhu Xiaohua, as a person thirty years later, has long had no such traditional concept of state-owned factories, and he doesn't care whether these people see him as a traveling merchant or a retail peddler.

For him, in another nine years, when Shi Yuzhu's giant Great Xia stands in the sky of Zhuhai, people will completely abandon this stupid view of the portal.

Private entrepreneurs can also become idols of the times.

At that time, it was believed that as long as all walks of life could make money, there was no distinction between noble and noble.

What people advocate is the pursuit of wealth and the acquisition of wealth, rather than external vanity such as portals and positions.

However, now, seeing the appearance of his younger brother and sister who are instantly inferior, it is impossible for Zhu Xiaohua not to mind.

When other tourists heard Huang Ren's words, they also nodded their heads frequently.

Someone advised Zhu Xiaohua: "Young people, you should be cautious in choosing a career, it's still too late to make corrections." Don't wait until you're old to regret it. ”

"That is, although taking pictures is very fashionable, it is not a serious profession that can be done for a lifetime."

"Being a traveling merchant and a retail peddler, even if you make a lot of money, you will not have a high social status and be looked down upon by others after all."

Zhu Xiaohua looked at the small gate on the west side of the scenic spot, where a sign was hung.

There is a poster with large characters on it, which reads: "This scenic spot welcomes state-owned factories and state-owned enterprises to come for sightseeing and taking pictures.

In addition, media reporters and foreign tour groups are welcome to take pictures, and tickets are half price.

Finally, private tour operators and individual hawkers are strictly prohibited from entering this scenic spot, violators will be fined, and trespassers will be sent to the police station. ”

In the past two days, he has not understood what the poster at the west gate of this scenic spot means, and now he has completely figured it out.

It turns out that in the eyes of these operators, they are no different from pests as private traveling traders and hawkers.

Huang Ren's eyes were sharp, and he quickly caught a glimpse of the sign hanging at the west gate of the scenic spot. He walked over, took off the sign, and said to the staff: "Borrow it, and by the way, help you publicize the scenic spot policy."

He returned to the crowd with the sign, pointed to a few big characters on the last line, and read it aloud: "Private tour merchants and individual hawkers are strictly prohibited from entering this scenic spot, violators will be fined, and trespassers will be sent to the police station." ”

He repeated loudly: "Private tour dealers, individual vendors, aren't they talking about these people taking pictures in the scenic square?" ”

He said and squinted at Zhu Xiaohua.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that he is talking about Zhu Xiaohua.

Zhu Xiaohua looked at the dazzling big words of "Private Tour Dealer, Individual Hawker" on the sign, and only felt a wave of humiliation welling up in his heart.

It was a taste of being looked down upon and ostracized.

At this time, the leader wearing a red armband in the scenic spot came over, waved his arm, pointed to Zhu Xiaohua's motorcycle, and said, "Who, your motorcycle can't enter the scenic spot to take pictures in the future." ”

Huang Ren smiled happily when he saw that the leaders of the scenic spot were going to drive Zhu Xiaohua's motorcycle away. I thought to myself, sure enough, someone was going to drive a hawker like him away.
