Go back to 1980 and enjoy it

"Honey, look what I bought you."

"Hey, it's longan. Do we have longan for sale in the capital again?"

"It just arrived today. Look, it's still fresh!"

"Bring it to me and try it. I just talked about this with Aunt Zhang two days ago. I didn't expect that I would be able to eat it today."

"Here, take it back and eat it slowly!"

"Tsk tsk, the taste is still so authentic and delicious, it's so delicious!"

…

"My man, why did you buy so many longans? Are you having a hard time?"

"I bought this because I saw you like to eat it!"

"Then you can't buy less. Has the price of longan increased this year?"

"It's increased by two cents."

"Hey, these fruit sellers are so evil!"

"Actually, it's not bad. After all, they transported longan to our capital from thousands of miles away. The cost is indeed not low. If the price is cheaper, other merchants will not lose money!"

"That's the truth, but it's too expensive. It costs three yuan and a pound. It makes me feel bad!"

"Anyway, we only eat this once a year, so just treat it as the Chinese New Year!"

"Oh, it's so sweet! Man, I want you to have one too."

"..."

…

"Third aunt, let me tell you something. The longan you like to eat is on sale again. It's at XX's place. Go buy it quickly!"

"Really, is it still the same longan as last year?"

"Yes, it still tastes the same as last year. There are already many people queuing up to buy it. If you want to buy it, hurry up to avoid being late and not being able to buy it!"

"Then I'll go buy it now. My daughter-in-law said she wanted to eat longan a few days ago. I'll buy more for her."

"Well, third aunt, you go ahead, I'm going home first!"

…

The entire capital is so big, so naturally Zhou Shengli and the others cannot cover the nearly 10 million people in the capital with longan.

However, even if it only covers a population of one million, the purchasing power of these customers is unquestionable.

The capital is the capital after all, and its economy is among the best in the country, both in this era and in future generations. Although longan is expensive at three yuan and a pound, longan is not a fruit that can be sold for a long time like apples. There are only a few days left, if you miss it you will have to wait until next year.

Therefore, many people are willing to be extravagant and follow the trend to buy some to eat back.

Otherwise, all the neighbors will eat longan, and your family will not be able to eat it. This would be too embarrassing.

Especially if you have children at home, you should buy it even more.

Therefore, Zhou Shengli and the others were surprised to find that although this year's longan was more expensive than last year, its sales speed was much faster than last year. In less than four days, they sold out all the 64 tons of longan. .

When the three of them got together to share the money, they couldn't hide their excitement.

Of the 128,511 kilograms of longan, Zhou Shengli kept 40 kilograms for his family, relatives and friends, while Wang Dadan and Tian Chunzhi kept 30 kilograms each.

Therefore, only 128,411 kilograms of longan were sold, at 3.2 yuan per kilogram, for a total of 410,915 yuan.

The remaining 915 yuan was used to pay for the trucks and labor, leaving 410,000 yuan left.

Zhou Shengli accounted for 40% and received 164,000 yuan. After deducting the cost of 117,202 yuan, the net profit was 46,798 yuan.

Wang DaDa and Tian Chunzhi each accounted for 30% and received 123,000 yuan. After deducting the cost of 87,901.5 yuan, the net profit was 35,098.5 yuan.

In less than four days, they made more money than they had worked for a year since opening the store. The three of them were excited but also a little depressed. As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison. There has been such a situation of "making money every day". After experiencing it, running their business will feel boring.

This is also the reason why many girls who have gone to work find it difficult to come back to work in a down-to-earth manner.

…

When longan was selling well in Beijing, Deng Yunheng and a group of classmates also returned to Peking University.

As a native of Beijing, Tang Mingjie did not go back to school directly like other students. Instead, he took the bus directly from the train station back home.

After returning home, Tang Mingjie shouted to a middle-aged woman: "Mom, I'm back!"

Mother Tang said happily: "I guess you should be back in the past few days. Are you tired from riding in the car?"

Tang Mingjie put down his luggage and nodded: "It's really fatal to sit on the train. Sitting on the train for days and nights can make people go crazy!"

Mother Tang said with a distressed look on her face: "Looking at how haggard you are, I told you that riding in the car was very hard and told you not to go. You didn't listen to me. Are you suffering now?"

Tang Mingjie couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Although I suffered a little on the way back and forth, compared to this trip to Guangxi, the pain I suffered on the road is nothing."

Tang's mother was a little surprised and said, "What do you mean, did you really have a good time when I went to your classmate's house in Guangxi this time?"

Tang Mingjie sighed with emotion: "It's not just good, this can be said to be the most fun summer vacation I've had since I grew up!"

Hearing this, Mrs. Tang was really surprised. She took the fruit basket placed on the table next to her, put it in front of her son and said, "This is the fresh longan I just bought. Eat some to refresh yourself. Then tell me how you spent more than a month at your classmate's house in Guangxi?"

Tang Mingjie looked at the longan in the fruit basket. In previous years, he would have started eating it as soon as possible and would not have stopped until he had eaten a pound. But this time he waved his hand and said, "Forget it about the longan, during this period I ate too much at my classmate’s house and I’m not interested in eating it now. Mom, you can keep it with dad and sister to eat!”

Mother Tang was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's right, you went to Guangxi, which is one of the provinces with the most longan cultivation. It's not surprising that you can eat longan."

Recalling his experience in Guangxi for more than a month, Tang Mingjie replied: "Mom, it's not just longan. The fruits I ate at my classmate's house this time are probably more than the fruits I have eaten since childhood. Especially the lychee, it tastes amazing!”

Tang's mother was very interested after hearing this and quickly urged: "Tell mom about your experience of going to Guangxi this time."

Tang Mingjie nodded and began to describe his trip to Guangxi vividly: "When we arrived at Yunheng's house, we greeted Uncle Deng, and Uncle Deng asked Yunheng to take us directly to the orchard to eat lychees.

Uncle Deng planted a thousand lychees and tens of thousands of catties of watermelon in the orchard. Knowing that a group of our classmates were coming to play during the summer vacation, in order to entertain us, Uncle Deng left a lot of lychees and watermelons for us to eat every day. Go full.

Uncle Deng is also very good at cooking. He cooks different dishes for us every day, including chicken, duck, fish, and all kinds of seafood. I gained several pounds from the food.

In addition to lychees and watermelons, there are also pineapples, carambola, glutinous rice, yellow peel, longan, etc. You can eat as many fruits as you want.

besides……"

Tang Mingjie told his mother about his trip to Guangxi with excitement, including everything about food, clothing, housing and transportation, as well as all kinds of interesting things in the countryside. Tang's mother was dumbfounded.

"Xiaojie, from what you said, classmate Deng Yunheng's family really spent a lot of money to entertain you classmates!"

"Uncle Deng did spend a lot of money, not to mention eating big fish, meat and all kinds of fruits every day, as well as those electric fans and bicycles, which were obviously bought temporarily because we were coming, although Uncle Deng kept these They can use it too, but we all appreciate it.”

"This classmate Deng Yunheng is from a rural area, but his family's conditions are so good. I wonder what his father does?"

"Uncle Deng has partnered with others to open a tile factory in the village. I heard that the business is not bad. He also runs an orchard. He can make thousands of dollars every year just selling lychees and watermelons. The most important thing is that Uncle Deng We also opened a big hotel in the county seat.”

Speaking of this, Tang Mingjie's face was full of emotion: "That is a real big hotel, covering an area of ​​more than a thousand square meters, and the hotel has three floors. Although the hotel is currently only using the first floor, it can be used all at once." It can receive six to seven hundred guests.

This hotel is currently run by my classmate’s eldest brother, sister-in-law and sister. It is said that Uncle Deng invested more than 300,000 yuan in building this hotel! "

Tang's mother exclaimed: "It's amazing. Your classmate's father is a capable man. He was born in a rural area and was able to build such a large family fortune in the early days of reform and opening up. It's really hard to guess what heights he can reach in the future!"

Tang Mingjie nodded and said, "Uncle Deng is indeed amazing. Several of our classmates were shocked when they saw Yunheng's grand hotel!"

Tang's mother thought for a while and said, "Xiaojie, when your father comes back, I will discuss it with him and see if the time is suitable to invite you, a classmate, to my home as a guest. You have been so favored by others for more than a month. Father’s warm reception, now that we are back in the capital, we parents must treat your classmate well.”

Tang Mingjie said happily after hearing this: "Okay, then you can discuss a suitable time and I will invite Yunheng to my home as a guest."

…

People's luck is sometimes really hard to predict.

If you are lucky, you can pick up money when you go out, and you can win the jackpot with any lottery ticket you buy.

If a person is unlucky, he will step on shit when he goes out, and even drink water through his teeth.

Deng Shirong was quite unlucky in his previous life. His wife died of illness before he was forty years old, leaving him a bachelor for decades.

Then the eldest son died unexpectedly when he was of marriageable age, leaving him with white hair and a black hair.

The filial eldest daughter married a man who couldn't support him, and suffered for most of her life.

The second son with the highest IQ went astray and became a professional gambler, and the couple never interacted with each other until they died.

The third son has developed the best, but unfortunately he married a wife who is hard to describe, and his life is not as good as that of an ordinary person.

The fourth son and the youngest son also had their own difficulties, and in short, neither of them had a smooth life.

Perhaps it was because he was so unlucky in his previous life that he had the opportunity to live another life.

After rebirth, Deng Shirong's luck was much better than in his previous life.

For example, when I went to Longtan Commune with my daughter and just had a bowl of noodles at a noodle stall, I was lucky enough to meet his eldest daughter-in-law. She is a truly good wife and mother. She has been married to their family for two and a half years. She gets along well with everyone in the family and has the demeanor of a eldest sister-in-law.

Although the following daughter-in-laws were not yet married, Deng Shirong was sure that even if the following daughters-in-law misjudged her, under the leadership of his eldest daughter-in-law, there would never be the kind of infighting between sisters-in-law that happened in the previous life.

Today, while Deng Shirong was just wandering around, he accidentally encountered two people trading stamps. The stamps were none other than the famous monkey stamps in later generations.

Deng Shirong was just an old man in the countryside in his previous life. The reason why he knew about monkey tickets was because he had read too many novels.

After he came back from rebirth, he didn't think of collecting this thing at first. When he remembered it, he was too lazy to bother with it. After all, the post office had sold all the monkey tickets at that time, so if he wanted to collect it, he had to take his time. Take the time to collect from the people.

This is not something that can be profited in a short period of time. If you have the energy to play with this thing, you might as well go to the capital and buy an extra courtyard house!

However, he really didn't want to spend energy to torment Deng Shirong, but if the monkey tickets were placed in front of him, he wouldn't mind buying some for collection. Even if he didn't sell them in the future, it would be okay to keep them for his children and grandchildren.

Therefore, Deng Shirong saw a person in front of him spending money to buy eight sets of monkey stamps from another person. When the monkey ticket seller walked away, he asked aloud: "Comrade, can you resell this stamp to me?" ?”

The person who bought the monkey ticket was a middle-aged man in his forties. He looked at Deng Shirong and asked without answering: "Comrade, do you also like this monkey ticket?"

Deng Shirong nodded and said: "I really like it. This monkey is so vivid. I want to buy some for collection."

The middle-aged man smiled and said: "I didn't expect you, comrade, would also like to collect this. We are all of the same kind. I can share it with you, but this is a full-page version. I won't sell it in pieces."

Deng Shirong said: "Comrade, what I mean is that I bought all the monkey tickets in your hand. I wonder if you are willing to part with me?"

The middle-aged man asked in surprise: "You want them all?"

Deng Shirong nodded and said: "Well, if you are willing to part with me, then I will take them all!"

The middle-aged man said: "Comrade, it's not impossible to sell them all to you, but the price of a single monkey ticket is different from the price of the entire page. You should know this, right?"

Deng Shirong smiled and said: "I understand this, comrade, please give me a price!"

The middle-aged man thought for a moment and said, "You must have seen it just now. I bought it from my friend at a high price of 200 yuan per edition. This was the friend price he gave me. If you really want it, , you take away the 220 yuan for that edition.”

Deng Shirong did not bargain and said cheerfully: "Okay, 220 yuan per edition. I want all eight of your editions. The total is 1,760 yuan, right?"

The price of this version of the monkey ticket has soared to one or two million in later generations. In this era, no matter what price you use to get it, you will make a big profit. Naturally, there is no need to bargain. After all, this is an opportunity to rob others.

The middle-aged man couldn't help but smile when he saw that Deng Shirong didn't bargain. He bought an edition for 200 yuan and resold it for 220 yuan. The eight-page Monkey Ticket easily made 160 yuan. Who can do this kind of business? Everyone will be happy.

Although the price of monkey tickets in this era has increased from 8 cents a piece in 1980 to 2 yuan a piece now, it has doubled many times. It seems that it has quite a collection prospect, but this thing was just released. Three years later, it was not as scarce as it would be in later generations. It would be easy for him to acquire additional items.

Therefore, middle-aged people can only feel happy when they sell it at a high price of 220 yuan per edition.

After the two agreed on the price, they handed over the money and delivered the goods.

After clearing the money and goods, the middle-aged man said hello and left with the money in his pocket with a smile.

After watching the other party leave, Deng Shirong took a closer look at the eight editions of monkey tickets in his hand.

Because it is a full-page monkey ticket, the collector has preserved it very well, just like brand new. If he had not been reborn from the future, he would not be able to imagine that this thing would be so valuable in the future.

If we follow the price theory of later generations, his chance encounter today created more than 10 million in wealth.

Of course, then again, by the time this thing is worth more than ten million, he probably won't be short of the money.

…

Two days later.

In a private room in Dong Laishun, Zhou Shengli, Wang Dadan and Tian Chunzhi invited Deng Shirong to dinner.

Let’s ignore the words of thanks. After the meal was almost done, Zhou Shengli said: “Boss Deng, the market in Beijing is still very big. We only sold the longans last year and this year in the same area, and there are other I have never sold it in several areas!

Could you please ship more longans next year? We guarantee that we can sell them. "

Anyone who tries this kind of business that can "make money every day" will know the taste. Zhou Shengli wants to see if he can buy more goods from Boss Deng next year, so that he can make more money.

Wang DaDaFang and Tian Chunzhi also looked forward to it, and they also wanted to make more money.

Deng Shirong has naturally considered this issue. The most planted fruits in Bobai since ancient times are lychees and longans, and they are even known as the hometown of longan. Therefore, longans are not only found in Baiping Farm, but also in many places throughout the county. If you want more It’s totally okay to buy some goods.

However, Deng Shirong thought about it and gave up this tempting idea.

After all, his use of system space to transport longan is not visible to the public. Now it is only a few dozen tons of longan, covering only about one-tenth of the population of the capital. Even if occasionally a leader notices it, he will not pay too much attention. At most, he will just sell it out of curiosity. How do longan merchants do such a good job of preserving freshness?

But if the quantity of longan is increased to one hundred tons or even hundreds of tons, covering the entire population of the capital, then the movement will be too great, and it might cause unnecessary trouble.

Therefore, Deng Shirong refused without hesitation: "Boss Zhou, everyone wants to make money, but with our current ability, it is already the limit to transport so many fresh longans. If the quantity is increased, the preservation will be uncontrollable." , when the longan hits your hand, it will be a huge loss.

So, I'm sorry, there is only so much quantity. Unless there is another major breakthrough in preservation technology, there will be no way to increase the quantity in a short time. "

Although Zhou Shengli was a little disappointed when he heard this, he understood and quickly adjusted his attitude: "We were too greedy and ignored the difficulty of preservation."

Deng Shirong pondered for a moment and said: "There is really no way to increase the quantity of longan. If you, Boss Zhou, are interested in pineapples, I can ship some to you next year. This is also one of the four famous fruits in Lingnan, and its shelf life is longer than that of longan." It’s a lot longer, but I don’t know if people in the capital are used to the taste of pineapple.”

You definitely can’t transport longan too much, but the pineapples here have a relatively long shelf life. Even if you use normal transportation channels, they can be transported to the capital for sale. The reason why no one does this is probably because they don’t want to bear losses. risk.

After all, transporting it from the south requires a lot of freight, and after transporting it, the sales price will definitely not be much cheaper. No one knows whether the people in the capital will buy it. In this case, why take the risk?

Transporting it to a nearby city and selling it saves time and effort and makes a lot of money, so why not do it?

Wang boldly asked with blank eyes: "Boss Deng, what kind of fruit is pineapple here?"

Zhou Shengli is also a fruit merchant after all. He has also been to the south for inspection. He is familiar with most of the fruits in the south. After hearing this, he immediately informed his friends: "Biologically speaking, pineapples and pineapples are the same fruit. The only difference is that the varieties are different. Pineapples have "inner thorns" that need to be removed after peeling, while pineapples have no "inner thorns" after peeling off the outer skin. This is the difference between the two. "

Wang DaDa suddenly said: "It turns out that pineapples are pineapples!"

Tian Chunzhi said with interest: "I think the taste of pineapple is very good!"

Zhou Shengli had also eaten pineapples before, and the taste was completely acceptable to him, so he said with some excitement: "Boss Deng, you will ship a batch of pineapples next year. Let's try the market first. If the customers can accept it, , what do you think about increasing the purchase volume at that time?”

Deng Shirong nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, I will ship it to you as much as you want next year."

Zhou Shengli calculated it silently and asked, "Boss Deng, can I ask the price first?"

Deng Shirong said: "Because this does not require much preservation technology, the main cost is in acquisition and transportation, so the price is relatively cheap, only 67 cents per catty."

Zhou Shengli's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard this. In fact, the fruit cost 67 cents per kilogram, which is not cheap among many fruits. But you must know that this is a southern fruit, not the kind common in the north. The price is still high. It's really not expensive at all.

Therefore, Zhou Shengli did not need to discuss with his two friends, but directly made the decision: "Boss Deng, if the price is this, then you can try 30 tons first. If the market can accept it, then we will increase the purchase." intensity.”

Calculated at 70 cents per pound, thirty tons is only 42,000 yuan. Not to mention cooperating with two friends, even if Zhou Shengli eats it all by himself, there is no pressure, even if it is all lost. , with the profit from longan supporting him, he can't lose.

If you make a profit, it will be another way to make a fortune.

"Okay, then next year I will transport thirty tons of pineapples to you."

"Lao Wang, Xiaotian, let's toast Boss Deng together and thank Boss Deng for providing us with another way to make money."

"Boss Zhou, you're welcome. This is a win-win cooperation. Let's all drink together!"

"Yes, cheers to win-win cooperation!"

"cheers!"
