Zhang Tiande is a smart person, even if he doesn't understand those foreign words, he can peek into the beautiful life abroad from the pictures.

In his opinion, drinking foreign wine, eating foreign food, driving foreign cars, and living in a foreign house are the days that men should really enjoy.

And their father and grandfather lived like cows and horses.

It's just that to live that imaginary good life, the first thing is to have money, to have enough money.

In this way, we can find a way to dive to the south, and then find a way to go out to sea by boat, and finally end up on the other side of the ocean.

And so much money is something that a worker can't earn for several lifetimes, so he has to think of some convenient ways.

Zhang Tiande adhered to this belief, and after graduating from junior high school, he refused his father's request to take over, and wandered the streets all day long, looking for opportunities to make a fortune.

After nearly two years of wandering, Zhang Tiande got to know the gang of green skins who were stealing everywhere, and soon realized the business opportunities.

Those brainless guys, after stealing something, don't have a bit of business sense.

A brand-new 28 bar, as long as they can get 20 yuan, they will be very satisfied.

A plum watch, they only need ten yuan.

As for those antiques, these guys who didn't even finish elementary school were sold as ordinary bowls and pans.

At that time, when he heard that the gang was excited about selling a gold bracelet for five yuan, Zhang Tiande felt that his opportunity had come.

He invited all the green skins in the county to the most luxurious restaurant in the county for a meal, and announced at the dinner table that if the green skins wanted to sell the stolen goods in the future, they could trade directly with him.

Since Zhang Tiande had already made a name for himself on the streets of the county at this time, the green skins who had not yet realized that they had become fish and meat raised their hands and cheered.

After all, it is easier for them to steal things, but the most difficult thing is to sell the stolen goods.

Sometimes, the stolen stolen goods are not found by the buyer for a long time, and they even throw away the stolen goods as garbage in order to avoid being discovered.

Now there are people who are willing to offer to help sell the stolen goods, and that is just their appetite.

In the following years, Zhang Tiande earned a sum of money by helping these green skins sell their stolen goods, and at the same time met many leading figures in Huangyuan County.

At this time, he was very business-minded, and he did not stop moving, but chose to expand his business.

He wants to open a store and use it as a base, so that the "customers" can be more confident, so that they can buy more stolen goods and save enough money to go abroad as soon as possible.

It's just that the shops on the streets in those days were all state-run, whether it was a breakfast shop, a shop, a supply and marketing cooperative, or a car repair shop on the street, the workers inside were all regular state employees.

Zhang Tiande's business is not on the table, even those leading figures he knows, it is impossible to help him open a state-run store.

There was really no way, Zhang Tiande set his sights on the black waste point on the outskirts of the city.

In this year, the monthly waste collection was also state-run, but the state-run waste points not only had low purchase prices, but also had a poor service attitude, and residents had to swallow their anger every time they went to sell waste products.

Later, several shabby settlements in the suburban commune found several dilapidated shacks and set up a black scrap shop.

The purchase price is higher than that of the state-run scrap shop, and the service attitude is much better, and it can still be open 24 hours a day.

Of course, the residents of the county choose to sell scrap at the black waste point.

The relevant units in the county town also thought about rectifying those black waste points, but considering that it was not easy for those dilapidated households to live, and those shacks belonged to the commune on the outskirts of the city, which was beyond their jurisdiction, they pretended not to see it.

In this way, the black waste point took root and grew strongly, and entered Zhang Tiande's sight.

After several investigations of the black scrap point under the pretense of selling scrap products, he immediately made up his mind to take the black scrap point down.

Because this place is so suitable for hiding thieves' stolen goods, who would have thought that under a pile of waste paper, there would be a calligraphy and painting of everyone in the Ming Dynasty! Who would have thought that among the pile of broken wine bottles, there would be a vase from the previous dynasty!

In addition, he has now recruited several little brothers, who are responsible for helping him buy the stolen goods and deliver them on weekdays.

These people need a relatively legal identity cover so that they don't go unnoticed.

What could be more suitable as a cover than a garbage guy who collects scrap!

Therefore, on the second day after leaving the black waste point, Zhang Tiande convened a few little brothers and held a meeting.

At the meeting, Zhang Tiande unified the thoughts of the little brothers, and distributed hoes, machetes and other weapons to the little brothers.

And promised that once they won the black scrap point, they would be given a bonus of five cents each, and they were also invited to the most luxurious restaurant in the city for a big meal.

There were bonuses, there was food, and those people suddenly became excited, put on their weapons, screamed, and rushed into the black scrap point.

It can't be said that the shabby people in the black scrap point are not combative, after all, they are also from bastard backgrounds, and they often fight for scrap.

It's just that these people, in the face of Zhang Tiande's 'regular army', did not have any ability to resist, and were quickly driven out of the black waste point.

Seeing that the black scrap points they had been operating for many years were snatched away, those shabby settlements also wanted to be snatched back, but they soon found that this was an impossible task.

In terms of force, they are no match for Zhang Tiande's people, and because the black scrap point itself is not legal, they have no way to find official support.

There is no way, those broken houses can only swallow their teeth into their stomachs.

After Zhang Tiande grabbed the black waste point, he also fulfilled his promise, and after a big celebration, he officially started the road of development and growth.

Things turned out to be similar to what he had guessed, and since the establishment of the Black Scrap Point, Zhang Tiande's business has rapidly tripled.

and gathered a few swindlers and began to send these swindlers to abduct and deceive in the county.

After having money, Zhang Tiande was prepared for danger in times of peace, cultivated a few henchmen, and also bought a lot of shotguns, turning the black scrap point into a strong stronghold.

"Director Li, although you people are at stake, I don't think it's possible to take down Zhang Tiande in one fell swoop."

On the ox cart, Manager Zhang kindly reminded Zhang Tiande after introducing the situation.

Of course, he didn't have to be kind, because this time Li Weidong went to the black waste point in the county town and specially brought Manager Zhang.

If he fails to win the black scrap point in one fell swoop this time, then he, as a traitor, will bear the brunt of it and will be cleaned up by Zhang Tiande.

Manager Zhang couldn't be clearer about Zhang Tiande's methods, don't look at the words of this thing, he always has a harmless smile on his face, and his methods are actually very cruel.

A while ago, a guy sent to the countryside to rob the tomb broke a porcelain plate of the Ming Dynasty because he was chased by the villagers on the way back.

After coming back, he was tied to the pillar of the black waste point by Zhang Tiande, and cut off the thumb of the guy's small hand with a machete, and it was in front of everyone.

Manager Zhang was among them at the time, and he was so frightened that he almost peed out.

He did a lot more than that guy this time.

Li Weidong smiled and said, "If you're afraid."

"Are you going to let me go and keep me from participating in this operation?" Manager Zhang was overjoyed.

Li Weidong rolled his eyes: "What kind of beautiful thing does your grandson want, if you are afraid, tell all the arrangements in the black waste point now, so that we can strive for the greatest success rate." ”

Manager Zhang had no choice but to think about it for a long time with his eyelids and carefully explain the situation in the black waste point.

Generally speaking, there are five young men in the black scrap shop, they are Zhang Tiande's escort team, and they will not leave the scrap shop to carry out tasks on weekdays.

These five people are guarding the black scrap shop, and in addition to protecting Manager Zhang, they are also responsible for purchasing scrap products.

The weapons they used.

Li Weidong laughed in surprise after hearing this, this Zhang Tiande is a big man with great powers in Manager Zhang's description, and that's it.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, you can understand what kind of tight defense a person like Zhang Tiande, who has only been in junior high school and has not received formal training, can arrange.

However, the black scrap point is open every day, and there are residents in the city and people who specialize in buying scrap to go to the scrap store to sell scrap.

If you are not careful, it is easy to accidentally injure the masses.

When the ox cart swayed to Huangyuan County, it was already noon.

Because Wang Erdan was in a hurry, they didn't prepare dry food.

Li Weidong couldn't let them work hungry, so when he met a state-run restaurant, he took out money and national food stamps and asked Sun Lanhua to go in and buy more than a dozen cakes.

Huangyuan County is located in the north, and residents like to eat pasta, and even the chefs of state-run restaurants can make good cakes.

The cake was baked brown and browned, and it was still steaming white, and when he took a bite while it was hot, the unique fragrance of wheat suddenly danced on the tip of his tongue, and Li Weidong squinted his eyes with enjoyment.

He felt that this thing was much better than the dim sum in Daoxiang Village in the capital.

Li Weidong is still like this, not to mention the members of the group, they haven't eaten white noodles for nearly half a year, let alone this kind of cake mixed with meat oil.

Wang Erdan swallowed the cake into his stomach in one go, wiped the scum from the corner of his mouth, filled his fingers into his mouth, licked the scum above into his mouth, and enjoyed the last bit of deliciousness, and then he burped with satisfaction.

"Brother Wei Dong, I owe you this time, and when I get the food back, I will definitely pay you back."

Wang Erdan said heroic words on his lips, but he was a little empty in his heart.

He had already calculated just now, and those cakes just now were worth five cents a piece, and even if they got back the grain, they couldn't afford to pay it back.

Li Weidong smiled and did not correct his statement, which made Wang Erdan's heart feel a lot easier.

Although Huangyuan County is a county seat, the buildings on the streets are very old, and most of the people walking on the streets are members of the surrounding communities.

The means of transportation used by the members is naturally also an ox cart.

So Li Weidong and his entourage are not conspicuous.

Ox carts swayed to the western outskirts of the county, pedestrians gradually thinning out, and the road occasionally passed by with large bags and small bags of waste.

"These people are in the county town to buy scrap, and then sell to the black scrap point to earn the difference, said to be a business, in fact, it is hard work, can only earn about five cents a day." Manager Zhang introduced everything in detail.

He didn't know what was useful to Li Weidong and them, so he introduced everything he knew along the way, and his voice was already a little hoarse.

"Scrap collectors."

Li Weidong pondered for a moment, and suddenly shouted to Uncle Wang, who was driving the ox cart, "Uncle, please stop the car." ”

Uncle Wang was an old animal husbandry worker in the village, and when he heard the shout, he just gently pulled the reins, and the old ox stopped.

"Brother Weidong, what are you going to do? The first thing we need to do is to be inconspicuous. lest it be discovered by Zhang Tiande's people. ”

Seeing that Li Weidong was about to get off the ox cart, Wang Erdan stopped him with some concern.

"It has to be done." Li Weidong patted the back of his hand.

Although Wang Erdan didn't know what was going on, he still let go.

Li Weidong lightly pleased, jumped off the ox cart, and slowly walked to an old man carrying waste products.

The old man is also a waste collector, and at this time, the more than 50 catties of waste on his shoulders made him a little breathless.

The old man sighed in his heart, if it was ten years in the morning, let alone fifty catties, even if it was one hundred catties, he would be able to carry it for dozens of miles in one go.

It's nice to be young.

At this moment, a figure stood in front of the old man: "Old comrade, can you sell me your scrap?" ”

Looking at the young man in the gray tunic, the old man couldn't believe his ears for a while.

The man was dressed like a leader, and as his arms swayed, there was a faint shadow of a watch on his cuffs.

The old man often deals with such people, they don't even bother to clean up the waste in their own homes and offices, they just sit there, waiting for the waste collector to come to the door.

How is it possible to buy scrap?

When did the ear also break?

The old man put down the waste and rubbed his ears vigorously.

Li Weidong didn't expect that a sentence would make the old man doubt his body, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Uncle, you heard it right, I just want to buy your scrap." You have collected all these things, and you can just estimate the value yourself. ”

"Ah, you're really collecting scrap." The old man was convinced that he had heard correctly, scratched his head and said: "This thing is not worth much, there are more than a dozen catties of paper in it, a few aluminum pot lids, and some scrap iron, you can give me a piece of five cents and two cents." ”

After speaking, the old man was afraid that Li Weidong would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained: "When these things were purchased, I spent four cents a piece, and I carried it so far, spent so much effort, and earned a dime and a half, isn't it much?" ”

"Not much, not much, not much at all." Li Weidong took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket, counted out a piece of five cents and two cents from it, and handed it to the old man.

After the old man took the money, he didn't immediately put it in his pocket, but counted out two cents from it and handed it to Li Weidong.

"Comrade, my old Liu Tou won't hide it from you, these things are sold to black scrap points, and they can indeed be sold for five cents and two cents a piece according to the price, but those gang of people will definitely deduct two cents according to the usual practice."

"Convention?" Li Weidong didn't take the money, stared at Lao Liu Tou and asked.

Old Liu Tou sighed and said: "Because those people want to overweigh the waste products, 2 cents is the money that is weighed." (End of chapter)
