Chapter 43: Shotguns for guns, revisiting the old place
Gu Shun was not surprised by the unprecedented success of the food stamps.
With the help of food stamps, in just one month, Gu Shun's assets have doubled, reaching a terrifying level.
Selling food coupons, which are themselves lottery tickets, is not Gu Shun's real purpose.
The impact of food stamps on Downtown has only just begun, and the best is yet to come.
As the food stamp business is so hot, there are more and more pretenders.
In addition, Gu Shun's real purpose was not in the sale itself, so after accumulating enough wealth, he transferred part of the power to sell to a gambling broker in the lower city at a high price.
These bookmakers are ostensibly serious companies.
In fact, they are all behind the scenes the tools set up by the Extreme Dao gang and some Lower City Governors to make extra money.
Gu Shun's strategy of retreating as advancing not only ensures his own safety, but also gradually infiltrates these bookmakers into his own forces by firmly grasping the printing of food stamps.
With the official company in the lower city also buying food stamps, allowing them to be traded and sold, Gu Shun's last scruples were dispelled.
His food stamps are completely like wild horses, growing wildly in the lower city unscrupulously.
In the evening, Gu Shun convened a secret meeting attended by all his subordinates.
Let everyone talk about how food stamps are doing in Downtown.
Some children admired Gu Shun to the extreme:
"Boss, you're a god, and now the streets are almost full of food stamps that we printed."
"Even thieves and robbers are specifically going to grab food stamps."
"I've seen some bookmakers also launch food stamps that imitate us, but no one buys them at all, everyone only recognizes ours." The other child said proudly.
Gu Shun nodded, "Our food stamps are linked to our potatoes."
Those bookmakers simply don't have this kind of confidence, they don't know that what supports the credit of food stamps is not how beautiful and gorgeous the food stamps are issued, or how luxurious the awards are.
It's about making the buyer actually see the reward, and have the resources and ability to keep claiming the prize. ”
"The boss is mighty."
"It's right that we're following the boss."
"Boss, you're a genius."
After a bit of hype, another child also reported his findings:
"I've seen a lot of food stamps that have now risen to 5 copper per voucher, but there are still long queues of people who buy them.
There are even people who buy food coupons at high prices or buy food coupons in other people's hands. ”
The child next to him also added: "When I went shopping, many bosses said that if I traded with food stamps, I could give a discount. They are more willing to accept food stamps than Tongge. ”
"I met it too."
"I've been using food stamps lately to buy things, which is very convenient, and most people are willing to pay a high price."
In the conversation of Gu Shun's followers, he keenly captured a few useful messages.
First, the secondary market for food stamps has gradually formed spontaneously, and in addition to some business-minded individual scalpers, the most important of which are brokerage companies and some extreme money laundering organizations, operate this market.
Second, the value of food stamps is now being inflated by many parties, and the par value is much higher than its own value, and a stock-like auction transaction is being generated around food stamps.
Thirdly, food stamps are relatively safe due to their paper-based nature and ease of transaction, and most importantly because they are linked to potatoes. It is gradually replacing Tongge as the currency used by the residents of the lower city, and food stamps are gradually taking on monetary attributes.
This is the situation that Gu Shun had expected long ago before the introduction of food stamps.
However, he didn't expect the food stamps to develop so quickly.
Now, the officials in Xiacheng and the Jidao gang have unknowingly become Gu Shun's accomplices.
By printing food stamps, Gu Shun can continuously inhale a large amount of copper Ge.
This is printing food stamps, and the money earned by printing money is not as much as Gu Shun's.
But how could they know this, they were just dumb people who were blinded by the fly's head, and by the time they reacted, Gu Shun had already found someone to take over and leave the scene safely.
After Gu Shun had money, he moved out of the house where he had lived for less than two years with his grandmother.
Moved into one of the few villas in the lower city, a real fort made of reinforced concrete, no longer an iron house.
Watching her grandson grow his career bigger and bigger, grandma sometimes feels that her grandson is not a person, but more like a god.
A child who has never been to school for a day knows so much, not what a fairy manifestation is.
Before moving to a new home, my grandmother wanted to visit the old home where she had lived most of her life.
The old man usually didn't have any wishes, and Gu Shun naturally tried his best to fulfill this wish.
Gu Shun followed his grandmother with a few children under his command to the house where he had lived for several years.
Seeing that the tin house was dilapidated because no one took care of it, and the yard was also a mess, and the deserted was not presentable, grandma was a little sad.
After all, this is the place where she has lived for most of her life, seeing things and thinking about people, and things are not people.
Pointing to the grassy yard, Grandma recalled, "This is where Shunshun first started growing potatoes. When you first bought this potato from a gypsy stall, you were only a year old, and you were years old. ”
Gu Shun took his grandmother's hand and nodded with emotion, "Yes, I was still in your arms at that time." ”
A few children looked at this dilapidated house, and it was hard to imagine how their boss turned over and lived in a mansion and villa in a few years from such a house.
They couldn't help but admire Gu Shun even more.
When the group entered the house, they found it even more dirty, with cigarette butts and dirty footprints all over the floor, as well as countless empty wine bottles that had been overturned.
Presumably, after they left, there were homeless people who lived in it.
There was also a paper flower hanging on the tattered tin wall, which was the toy that grandma folded to coax Gu Shun at that time.
Because of the leaking roof, the rain has made the paper flower wet.
Gu Shun looked around, and walked around the house with his grandmother in his arms.
Grandma would stop every time she walked to a place and explain to Gu Shun in detail what had happened there, as if she was also recalling her youthful years.
Gu Shun listened quietly, asking some questions like a child from time to time, which made her grandmother laugh.
Grandma Li never thought that she would be able to have a filial and intelligent grandson like Gu Shun in the second half of her life, which is probably the best gift God has given her.
Coming out of the house, Gu Shun deliberately went to the back room and saw that the pigsty he had built with his grandmother had collapsed, and the warehouse where mushrooms used to be grown was about to die.
Gu Shun was not sad, because he wanted to create a miracle in life, he had no time to feel the loss, and the future that belonged to him had just begun.
Before leaving, Wang Laohan next door saw Grandma Li and Gu Shun, who had not seen him for a long time, and was full of surprise:
"Mrs. Li is you, I haven't seen you for several years."
The two of them chatted for a while, seeing that Gu Shun had grown so big, Wang Laohan also nodded frequently in surprise, praising that this child would definitely have a future in the future.
Suddenly, Wang Laohan remembered something and said:
"By the way, I almost forgot, your son came here a few days ago, like he was in a hurry.
I said you moved away, and he asked me again, where have you been, and I said I don't know, and he's making a fuss here.
Hey, he smoked all the cigarette butts on the ground. ”
"My son?" Grandma Li jerked violently, clutching her chest and looking pained.
Gu Shun immediately hugged his grandmother, and his face instantly turned cold.
