The last time Wang Manyin accompanied Han Zhong to drink, he had already discovered that anyone who could have a position in the factory in these years was generally an alcohol test.

It's really drinkable!

He originally thought that three bottles of Xifeng were enough for three people, but in the end, he was stunned and drank all four bottles.

When Xue Laishun walked, he could still ride a bicycle steadily.

Although Dong Gang's face was flushed, his speech was also coherent and clear: "What's the matter, Manyin, go to my house at night?" ”

"Brother Dong, don't bother. When I arrived in the afternoon, I had already booked a room at the hostel. Wang Manyin shook his head again and again and refused.

Dong Gang's family now lives in the factory, and there are three houses. There is one room for two people, one room for two children, and one room for the old lady, and there is no room at all.

If he goes to live at night, he will have to let the family toss, so it is better to go directly into the space and sleep for a night.

After saying goodbye to Dong Gang, Wang Manyin walked out of the city.

Now the main street of Huangyuan City has been installed with street lights, so the road does not look dark. On both sides of the street, you can see people gathering in twos and threes, and the sound of the radio is quite loud.

Each one held a fan in his hand, and from time to time he eagerly talked about the news on the radio. At home and abroad, worry about everything.

Under the street lamp, some children kept fighting.

This scene is not much different from Jar Village.

Wang Manyin crossed the Huangyuan Bridge, bypassed several dirt slopes, and then disappeared into the darkness.

In front of me, it was still gray.

He sweated during the day, entered the space, and immediately jumped into the pool to take a bath.

Whoa......

The surrounding fish were alarmed and quickly fled towards the deep water.

Farther away in the reeds, the croaking of frogs continued.

On the other side of the canal, the fragrance of lotus flowers wafted in.

Soaked in the warm space water, Wang Manyin only felt indescribably comfortable. The original drunkenness in the body quickly disappeared without a trace.

As the water calmed down, more ears of wheat swam back. The strips peck on the surface of the skin, bringing a crispy tingling sensation.

After soaking for about half an hour, he got up to pick a melon, ate it and went to sleep.

In the morning, Wang Manyin was sleeping soundly, and was suddenly awakened by the sound of chirping.

Turning his head, he saw two peregrine falcons standing at the head of the bed, screaming at him.

These two guys are very relaxed and don't have to worry about food at all.

In addition to countless fish, there are also frogs and locusts in the space to change the taste. It is also thanks to the presence of two peregrine falcons that the frogs have not flooded these years, but have remained in a state of equilibrium.

patting the peregrine falcon's head, Wang Manyin looked at his watch, it was already past six o'clock. He didn't plan to make breakfast, but after greeting the two peregrine falcons, he hurried back outside with a dried hare and a few bags of spiced melon seeds.

After confirming that there was no one around, Wang Manyin pushed the bicycle and walked out of the village.

When I arrived at Ma Jianping's house, it was just half past six.

The reason why he came to the door early in the morning was mainly because he was afraid that the other party would go out to set up a stall and not find anyone.

"Man Yin, when did you come to Huangyuan City?" Seeing Wang Manyin, Ma Jianping was also surprised.

Then, he hurriedly instructed his boss to go out to buy food.

"Brother Ma, I came yesterday...... Sister-in-law! Entering the courtyard, Wang Manyin greeted Ma Jianping's mother-in-law and handed over the things in his hand.

Aunt Ma Jianping is an honest woman, and after responding to two sentences, she took something into the house, leaving space for the two to talk.

In the face of his friends, Wang Manyin did not hide it, and directly stated his purpose.

Ma Jianping also agreed: "Okay, you can pick whatever you want." ”

With that, he went back to the house and put out all the electronic watches.

There is actually nothing to choose from about this thing, Wang Manyin glanced at it casually, and then pointed to a silver one and asked, "How much is this!" ”

"If you want any money, take it," Ma Jianping looked very cheerful, grabbed and stuffed it into his hand.

Because of the pouring of anise, he has always felt that he owes a favor.

Where would Wang Manyin ask for something in vain, put it back and said: "Brother Ma, favors belong to favors, and business belongs to business." You also paid for it, taking risks along the way. If you don't need money, I'll go find someone else to buy it later! ”

"Okay...... Give me a purchase price, forty yuan," Ma Jianping replied helplessly.

For this price, Wang Manyin was not surprised.

Although the southern electronic watch costs a few yuan, it is not easy to transport it all the way back to Huangyuan City safely. Among them, after layers of monopoly,

When Ma Jianping arrived, he didn't know how many dealers he was, so the price was naturally relatively high.

Especially now that electronic watches have just become popular, many people have no way to buy them, so it is not unusual for a watch to be sold for 100 yuan.

It wasn't until a few years later that electronic watches were flooded and prices went all the way down.

"I'll give fifty, and I'll pay for the journey." Wang Manyin thought for a moment and took out a few banknotes from his pocket.

Ma Jianping counted four and put them in his pocket, and handed the rest back.

Without waiting for Wang Manyin to speak, he said loudly: "Okay, let's brothers, don't talk so much." ”

Wang Manyin did not refuse.

After chatting, the eldest of Ma Jianping's family came back from buying breakfast, half a pot of corn porridge, plus a basket of steamed buns.

While eating, Ma Jianping asked out loud again: "Man Yin, have you calculated the detailed accounts, how much does it cost to sell spiced melon seeds for a catty?" ”

"I sell it at a wholesale price, eight cents per catty, and the profit is less than two cents......"

Wang Manyin is not lying. There are two kinds of condiments needed to fry melon seeds, and if you count their costs, the profit is indeed less than two cents.

"It's only two cents, and a hundred catties will earn twenty yuan. According to what you said, you can sell 300 catties or 60 yuan a day, and you have to recruit people to help, and you are tired and tired. You might as well follow me, as long as you sell three electronic watches a day, you can earn 60 yuan steadily. If we go to the south to buy goods together, the profits will definitely be greater. Ma Jianping made another suggestion.

The reason why he has always wanted to pull Wang Manyin to do business is mainly because he likes the other party.

Ma Jianping also knew that there were many dangers on the way to the south, so he strongly invited. Changing to someone else, he was not at ease at all.

Ten years ago, there were very few people who could not be moved by more than 100 catties of food stamps...... At least Ma Jianping can't do it himself.

"Brother Ma, forget it, it's not peaceful outside now, and I hear being robbed at every turn. I'm still honest and safe in Yuanxi County! Besides, sixty dollars a day is not a lot. ”

Individuals have their own ideas.

Ma Jianping's willingness to earn money is his own business, but Wang Manyin does not plan to do so.

This kind of money comes and goes quickly.

Once many people get used to making quick money, they can't settle down and earn slow money anymore.

Of course, if it is purely for the sake of completing the primitive capital accumulation, it does not hurt to do it. The key is that he has taken this step earlier, and there is no need to disrupt his rhythm because of a little petty profit.

If you really want to make quick money, there are too many opportunities in this era. I can go to the Northeast as soon as possible, find someone to buy a few pots of Junzi Orchid, and put it in the space to breed.

With the unique advantage of space, it can easily cultivate thousands or even tens of thousands of Junzi orchid seedlings in two years at most.

In the next few years, it became known as the "green gold bar" by countless people.

At the craziest time in the 80s, the price of a superb Junzi orchid reached an exaggerated 200,000 yuan, which is equivalent to the sum of 300 years of college graduates in the same period.

Just like beating a drum to pass flowers, as the price of Junzi Orchid skyrockets, almost everyone in a certain city participates in it, constantly creating various myths.

For example, someone buys a Junzi orchid from the east side of the market and sells it to the west side of the market. In between, only half an hour of work can be used to make a profit of several hundred yuan.

At the beginning of crossing into this world, Wang Manyin had no worries, and he might really go crazy. But now that he has an aunt and a child, his mind has changed a lot.

A lot of the time, it's a matter of stability.

And to put it mildly, Wang Manyin really went to the north alone to sell tens of thousands of pots of Junzi Orchid, even if he earned the money, he might not have the life to bring it back.

In the next few years, many people will make all kinds of jaw-dropping crazy actions in order to get a Junzi orchid.

Stealing is not uncommon, and there are many robbers and murderers.

Among them, the most widely spread in later generations, there was someone who knew that his brother's family had a pot of Junzi Lan, came to the door to rob it, and finally killed his brother and sister-in-law and was sentenced to death. This incident also appeared in Longgang's newspaper, titled "Sister-in-law and Brother Die for a Pot of Flowers".

Wang Manyin's personality has always been like this, once he decides on something, he will unswervingly do it. No matter how many other opportunities to make money there are, they can't be seen.

"Okay," Ma Jianping didn't continue to entangle, just nodded and said: "It's okay not to do this business, now we all know that the toad mirror of the inverted electronic watch makes money, and more and more people go to Qin'an City to buy goods, and it is estimated that the competition will become more and more fierce in the future...... At that time, maybe my brother will still expect you to eat. ”

"If Brother Ma is willing to come, of course I welcome it,"

……

After breakfast, Wang Manyin took the electronic watch and rushed to the printing house to find Xue Laishun.

Soon, he saw each other in the office and handed him an electronic watch.

Gift-giving is simple and crude now, unlike in later generations, where there are many detours.

"Brother Xue, I heard you mention this at dinner last night, and I found a friend overnight. You take the electronic watch back and let your sister-in-law take a look, if you don't like it, I can find a friend to change it again! ”

"Yes, yes, it's this kind of electronic watch." After Xue Laishun saw it, his face was full of smiles.

He tried to keep the electronic watch on his wrist, and then asked: "Xiao Wang, how much is the watch, I will pay for you?" ”

"Brother Xue, it's time to pick up the money. Although we met for the first time yesterday, I admired it very much, and treated it as a brother in my heart...... Brother Xue's alcohol consumption is this, what a hero! I can't do it, I just sent you away last night, and I vomited so much that it was dark. ”

Wang Manyin said these words very calmly. When many people are young, they boast that they are pure and high, and they don't want to flatter others, thinking that everyone is drunk and sober. Only after experiencing social beatings do you know that a few words of flattery are nothing at all.

"How embarrassing this is," Xue Lai said in his mouth, but there was no trace of embarrassment on his face.

Clearing his throat, he spoke again: "Xiao Wang, in fact, I am also very concerned about your affairs. When I went to work today, I reported to the factory director. The director of the factory plans to print even the kraft paper bag with a penny. However, I argued on the basis of reason, and it took a lot of saliva to negotiate a four-cent one! In addition, you don't have to pay for the production of screen printing plates, and all of them are borne by our factory! ”

"Thank you so much, Brother Xue!!"

Wang Manyin instantly felt the true value of this electronic watch, saving himself at least 300 yuan.

The relationship is in place, everything is easy to say.

Next, Xue Laishun took Wang Manyin to the printing workshop, and invited the team leader to look at the pattern sample.

After the other party asked for specific details, he nodded directly to confirm.

Wang Manyin originally planned to make 30,000 kraft paper bags to see the effect, but he felt that it was not easy to come to Huangyuan City, so he simply added 10,000.

According to the current sales volume, 40,000 packaging bags are enough to be used for more than a month.

With Xue Laishun's explanation, the team leader directly took Wang Manyin to find the plate making master. Screen plate making is the most critical step in the whole printing process, and the whole process is more cumbersome. It requires a series of processes such as screen breaking, degreasing, drying, exposure, and development.

Wang Manyin stayed in the printing house all day, and finally got the printed sample when he was about to leave work.

In the end, it is a large state-owned factory, and the quality of kraft paper bags is obviously much better than that of small printing factories, and it feels quite thick.

He carefully checked it several times, and after confirming that there were no mistakes, he nodded and opened the print.

When he went to the printing house the next day, Wang Manyin quietly stuffed a golden monkey cigarette into the workshop team leader. There are also a few printers, one person and one pack.

In two days, the kraft paper bag was ready.

A kraft paper bag weighs about three grams, and 40,000 weighs just over 200 kilograms.

Wang Manyin did not intend to transport goods by rail, but rode his bicycle outside the city. In a place where no one is around, put it into the space along with the car.

At noon, he had already rushed to the former west county seat.

Seeing that the time was still early, Wang Manyin found Guo Weidong again to inquire about the sales of spiced melon seeds in recent days.

"Brother Wang, the situation is a little not good. In the past week or so, a third of the vendors have stopped buying from us. I asked someone to inquire secretly, and the wholesale price of Housi is lower, and a half-kilogram pack of five-spiced melon seeds is a penny cheaper than our family. If it continues, it is estimated that all the stall owners will be robbed. How about the new packaging, you can't delay any longer! When it came to this matter, Guo Weidong was very anxious.

Wang Manyin never overestimated people's hearts and human nature, and naturally understood that what the other party said was very reasonable.

Although the difference in wholesale prices between the two is only a penny, for many vendors, the instinct is to choose the cheaper one. Selling fifty bags a day can earn an extra five cents.

This account, a fool will calculate.

As for the taste of melon seeds, whether they are short of catties or two, it is not something they have to consider at all.

In fact, Wang Manyin calculated the cost for Hou Si. People have no requirements for the quality of raw materials, coupled with the shortage of catties and shortages, the cost is estimated to be lower than him.

If they are allowed to continue counterfeiting, they will really kill their own spiced melon seeds.

Bad money drives out good money, and many times it's as simple as that.

However, Wang Manyin has no intention of reducing the quality of raw materials...... I plan to do business for a long time, and if my reputation is bad, it will be difficult to recover.

So for the time being, the only way is to change the packaging as soon as possible.

"Rest assured, the packaging has been solved. It will be activated in two days, and I will show you the sample! As he spoke, Wang Manyin took out a brown paper bag from his pocket.

He had considered this situation before he came, and deliberately put a few on his body.

"Nice, nice, beautiful!" Guo Weidong looked at it several times, and praised it again and again.
