"You should know that there is a thrift market in the Huangyuan area, and there are a lot of people buying and selling old bicycles there. I usually go once a week and get two or three back...... Look at the brand of this thing, when you meet Phoenix, Permanent, and Flying Pigeon, you can earn at least fifty yuan for a car. Broken bikes are cheaper, just get some old parts and refurbish them, and sell them for more than a hundred." In the end, Dong Gang was showing off in and out of his words.

"I see! It's still Brother Dong who is powerful."

Wang Manyin nodded secretly when he heard this.

Unlike other scalpers, Dong Gang has already carried out industrial upgrading and knows how to maximize profits.

Where there is demand, there is naturally a market.

Bicycles are in high demand in the market now, and people can't get tickets, so they have to look for them on the black market.

So for Dong Gang's words, Wang Manyin had no doubts. As the saying of later generations said, "There are people who do the business that turns around, and no one does the business that loses money."

Although the regulations are now very strict, and cards are set up in various places, they cannot be stopped.

No matter what era, as long as the profit margin is large, some people dare to take risks.

It's also an adventure, and the predecessor only knows how to pour some rat poison cigarettes and the like, and it's not on the same level as others at all.

After touching another glass of wine, the other party said with a smoky voice: "How about it, full of silver, with ***?" Take the goods from here, sell one and give you twenty yuan, as long as it's not in the county seat. You should know a lot of people, and it's easy to make a move."

Wang Manyin finally knew why people were so enthusiastic about him, and he wanted him to be an agent!

However, Dong Gang is right, even if he sells a bicycle in half a month, he earns more than many workers in a month.

In those years, the peasants were really poor, but their consumption capacity to eat commercial grain was not low. Otherwise, why would many rural women prefer not to have a bride price and want to marry someone who eats commercial grain?

If there are two people in the family who go to work, they will save a lot of living money. I believe that many people are willing to pay half a year's salary to buy a bicycle...... The key is not to get a ticket.

Why is the black market in Mijia Town so lively? It's because there is a Shikoma coal mine not far away. Those workers were paid sixty or seventy yuan a month, and they were very rich.

If Wang Manyin gets a few bicycles, he can definitely sell them easily.

Not to mention the predecessor, even the current Wang Manyin is a little tempted. If there is no space, he is willing to give it a go.

However, Wang Manyin didn't answer the other party's question immediately, but just continued to ask, "Brother Dong, how did you transport it back to the original West County Town?"

As he spoke, he poured another cup for Dong Gang.

The Huangyuan area is two or three hundred miles away from the original West County, and other county towns will be crossed along the way. Now the management is very strict, even if you can't get some greens for sale, let alone a few conspicuous bicycles.

Wang Manyin and his family came to the county seat this time, and they encountered staff blocking the road for inspection on the way.

Wang Manyin didn't believe that Dong Gang had such great ability to successfully dredge the relationships between the checkpoints along the way. It's too costly.

Dong Gang probably drank a little, and said with a smug smile: "You don't know this, don't look at the highway everywhere, but there are loopholes in it."

"Vulnerability?"

"That's right, it's not possible to transport goods by road. Two bicycles can be easily transported to the former Xixian Railway Station for only one dollar freight......

….

Now the original Xixian Railway Station has not opened for passenger transportation, but freight has always been there. According to Dong Gang, as long as the delivery and receipt are handled well, the risks on the way can be easily avoided.

Dong Gang is not only bold, but also smart enough.

But there must be some twists and turns in it...... The other party didn't mention it, so Wang Manyin naturally didn't plan to ask again.

"How about it, would you like to go with ***?"

The reason why Dong Gang put his heart in his heart as soon as they met was mainly because he felt that he knew Wang Manyin well. Although the other party is a little timid, he is very righteous.

When the original West County was turbulent, the two fought side by side. Later, Wang Manyin also saved the life of a companion, which is definitely a plus.

In addition, Dong Gang mainly mixed in the county town and was not very familiar with the communes below. Wang Manyin is different, he often runs around in the commune below, and he must know more people than him.

Another point, the money I give is not low, it is definitely more than pouring rat poison, and the other party will definitely be tempted.

It's just that Dong Gang thought wrong this time, and *** crisp and neatly refused.

"Brother Dong, thank you for your fancies, this deal is really good. I am already married, and my daughter-in-law should have a baby in a few months, and now I want to seek stability and stop doing small business as soon as possible. Besides, I also need to take care of my family, and I can't leave at all, so you might as well ask someone else for help."

There is a saying that makes sense, "If you walk by the river, you can't get your shoes wet."

Dong Gang's business is indeed quick to make money, but it is very risky.

Wang Manyin had a hunch that if the other party continued to do this, something would happen sooner or later.

If you are not careful, it will be ten or eight years, and if you happen to touch the tuyere, you may also eat peanuts.

I have my own space, and I guard the consignment point at home, and I can have thirty or fifty yuan a month. The key is that the money comes safely, without taking any risks.

It's good to live a peaceful life with your mother-in-law!

"Man Yin, you're still too timid. Captain Hu, who used to carry guns with us, now secretly brings a construction carpentry team in the county seat, with dozens of people under his hands...... The auditorium of the former West County Federation of Industry and Commerce, the family courtyard of the county supply and marketing cooperative, and some factories were all secretly made by Captain Hu. I've heard that people earn at least that amount a year!"

Dong Gang stretched out two fingers, and he was very envious between his words.

Naturally, this comparison cannot be 200, at least more than 2,000 yuan.

Boy!

Hearing this, Wang Manyin directly shouted "good guy" in his heart.

At the beginning, there were really a few characters in that group!

Captain Hu's name is Hu Yongzhou, and he was the first to follow others in the county seat and carried a gun together.

Wang Manyin originally thought that Dong Gang was bold enough, but he didn't expect Hu Yongzhou to go further and set up an underground contractor team.

No wonder he is the captain, and his predecessor is just a minion.

Although the management is relatively strict now, in fact, the peasants have never stopped going out to engage in sideline business.

Hold up the bold, starve the faint-hearted. In a hurry, there are always some people who dare to take risks.

Not only in the South, but also in the North.

However, now farmers basically have no skills and skills, and they generally do construction when they go out to engage in side jobs. Masons earn more than one piece a day. The carpentry is a bit taller, up to two pieces of five.

….

Of course, all this money cannot fall into personal pockets, and it is necessary to hand over a part of the labor to the production team.

Liujiawan's side hustle team is also in a similar form.

However, even if the purchase fee paid to the production team is removed, the individual can still fall some, which is definitely better than digging in the soil.

The worst, at least to fill the stomach.

Wang Manyin read a document in later generations that within half a year, the staff of a certain county across the river caught more than 6,000 peasants who had gone out to engage in sideline business.

However, for these farmers, they are generally not dealt with, and the focus is on the contractor.

Wang Manyin has been thinking about how to find a way to make money for the laborers of the second team after the autumn harvest. Hearing Dong Gang's story at this moment, he suddenly became interested: "Brother Dong, do you know where Captain Hu works?"

"Manyin, what do you think? If you don't do the money-making business, do you really plan to go to the construction site and suffer?" Dong Gang looked at the person in front of him in surprise.

Only then did he realize that he hadn't seen him for half a year, and it seemed that Wang Manyin had changed a lot.

"I didn't plan to do it, and I couldn't endure this hardship, so I mainly wanted to find a way for the people in the village to earn money. You also know that the peasants now simply earn their labor, and at the end of the year, they have little living money in their hands, and it is difficult to even eat salt."

People have talked so much, and Wang Manyin also chooses to tell the truth.

"You're righteous...... Alright then, feel free to come to me if you change your mind later." Seeing that the other party really didn't mean this, Dong Gang didn't plan to force it.

After all, he guards the county seat, and he has a lot of money in a month.

Immediately, he told the other party Hu Yongzhou's address.

After drinking a bottle of Xifeng, Wang Manyin stopped Dong Gang's idea of continuing to take wine. said that he came to the county seat with people to do things for the village, and he had to rush back in the afternoon.

After eating, he hurried away.

Dong Gang said very clearly just now, and now Hu Yongzhou is leading a team of contractors to build a new plant for the county sauce and vinegar factory. It is not easy to come to the county seat, Wang Manyin plans to take this opportunity to take a look, and it happens that the place is not far away.

As his physical fitness continued to increase, so did his drinking. I poured half a pound of wine just now, and I was basically not drunk.

When he left Dong Gang's house, he was exposed to the scorching sun, and his wine strength was completely gone.

However, after walking a distance, Wang Manyin felt more and more familiar with the name Hu Yongzhou, as if he had seen it in the original book.

Finally, he slapped his head.

No, the other party is the boss of the Hu brothers who appear quite frequently in the original book, Hu Yongzhou, the contractor.

When his brother-in-law Shaoping went to the Huangyuan area to do odd jobs, he worked under the other party.

Ten years later, Hu Yonghe, the eldest of the Hu brothers, made a fortune by long-distance trafficking, and Shao'an worked as a top household in the county, participated in the "Kua Fu" conference, and finally became a well-known "farmer entrepreneur" in the county.

In the end, when Shao'an's brick factory encountered operational difficulties, it was Hu Yonghe who helped solve the loan problem.

What's more important is that the Hu brothers have big backers behind them, and Gao Fengge in the Huangyuan region is their cousin.

With the help of Gao Fengge, the business of these two people is getting bigger and bigger. In the end, Hu Yongzhou led his subordinate contractor team to mix in the Huangyuan area.

Hu Yonghe even became an investor in film and television dramas, and began to attract people to shoot the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

….

It is precisely knowing this that Wang Manyin is more at ease with Hu Yongzhou. is not afraid that he will be like the contractor in later generations, quietly rolling up money and running away.

Dozens of meters away from the soy sauce factory, Wang Manyin smelled a pungent sour smell wafting in.

Seeing someone standing guard behind the door, he stepped forward to greet him in a proper manner.

In these years, almost all the gatekeepers are young people, and there are very few old men in their sixties and seventies.

"Comrade, my name is Wang Manyin, and I am friends with Hu Yongzhou. I heard that he brought people to work here, so I have something to do with him." As he spoke, Wang Manyin stuffed a box of cigarettes into the other party's hand.

To ask someone to do something, of course, you must have an attitude, and empty mouth and white teeth are definitely not good.

Probably for the sake of the cigarettes, the young man hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, you wait, don't run around." I'll go find Captain Hu and see if he recognizes you."

After the other party asked Wang Manyin's name again, he hurriedly walked into the factory.

Soon, another man came out with a man covered in dust.

Seeing Wang Manyin, the other party immediately stepped forward and hugged his shoulders and said, "Manyin, it's really you. I haven't seen you in almost a year, let's go...... Let's talk about it in the factory."

Although the summer is far less hot than in later generations, there are still 356 degrees at noon.

When entering the construction site, Wang Manyin turned his head to take a look.

Now it is estimated that it is less than three o'clock, and the workers are already working.

Most of them were shirtless, with sweat marks on their spines, and they were busy in full swing.

These people should be the earliest migrant workers.

"Brother Hu, I heard that you are working in the county seat, so I came to take a look." After standing still in the shade of a tree, Wang Manyin went straight to the point and said what he meant.

"What, Manyin, you want to do it too? It just so happens that I have a lot of work here, and I need someone to help me take care of it. With the relationship between our brothers, if you come, you will be given 30 a month, how about it?"

"Brother Hu, I'm not here to work. I mainly want to inquire if you are still short of manpower? There are dozens of idle laborers in our village, and they want to come out after the autumn harvest to earn a few dollars for the New Year."

Wang Manyin thought it would take some words, but he didn't think that he would be recruited by the other party just after mentioning it.

So he has some of them now

Confused: I don't know what the advantages of the predecessor are, and it can be favored by so many "peers". Previously, Dong Gang was in a hurry to pull him in, but now he has Hu Yongzhou.

Could it be because they have carried guns together...... This is known as one of the four great irons in later generations.

At the end of the day, they belong to a circle and naturally have a foundation of trust. If I come here as a stranger today, I'm afraid I won't even be able to enter the gate of the sauce and vinegar factory.

Wang Manyin thinks about it carefully now, it seems that the predecessor has a lot of advantages. At least in this era, there are still very few people who dare to go out.

For this courage, more than 90 percent of the people have been beaten.

Of course, because of the problem of personality and vision, the predecessor did not become famous in the end.

Hearing this, Hu Yongzhou misunderstood that he also wanted to be a contractor, and said with a smile: "Man Yin, your kid is not small. Okay, no matter what method you use, as long as you can get the certificate of contract labor in the commune and the village, I can transfer some small work to you...... I don't dare to say anything else, I can still earn a few hundred yuan a year."

The other party didn't finish speaking, but Wang Manyin understood.

The so-called contract work certificate is just a procedure. The employer also turned a blind eye and would not deliberately investigate at all.

At present, construction is being carried out everywhere, roads are being built and factories are built, and many projects are short of labor. In order to catch up with the schedule, they can only secretly recruit migrant workers in private.

So if you want to do it yourself, just find someone to privately engrave the seals of the two units.

In fact, this is also a common practice of underground black contractors. If something happens, it has nothing to do with the employer.

"Brother Hu, you really misunderstood, I didn't plan to do a job, I mainly wanted to find a side job for the people in the village......" Wang Manyin told Dong Gang again.

"Okay, I'll give you an address, and I'll find me when the autumn harvest is over......
