Return to the 80s, from touching loaches to becoming the world's richest man

Lu Hai did not answer Li Yuelan immediately, but looked around at everyone first.

Everyone who was seen by Lu Hai lowered their heads in shame.

After all, they also knew that without Lu Hai, they would not be able to earn even a few cents a day, let alone a few dollars.

These loaches, eels and snails are probably rotting in the fields every day with no one wanting them.

Whenever these things affect the harvest of crops, the commune will organize people to clean them up, and most of the things caught will be thrown away.

After all, no one here likes to eat these things.

Nowadays, everyone can eat meat every meal, which is actually all thanks to Lu Hai.

As I said, what is worrying is not the lack of income but the inequality of income. They work hard every day to earn such a small amount.

However, Lu Hai earned more money than they could earn in several years just by running errands. To put it bluntly, everyone was jealous.

Moreover, Li Yuelan is on the same side as them. If Lu Hai can raise prices, it will benefit everyone.

So, even though he knew that what he did was not right, he still went ahead and told Lu Hai about it.

Perhaps, among all people, only Li Yuelan would not think so...

However, although everyone felt guilty, they still insisted on not leaving.

After all, if Lu Hai doesn’t raise the price this time, there will probably be no chance next time.

Seeing that Lu Hai was still silent, Li Yuelan thought that Lu Hai was backing down, so she pressed him again.

"Lu Hai, if you don't give us a reasonable explanation today, we won't sell these seafood to you anymore, right?"

After saying this, Li Yuelan asked everyone to echo her.

From the moment they agreed with Li Yuelan's first sentence, everyone was like grasshoppers on the same rope.

Therefore, everyone had no choice but to agree with Li Yuelan.

Lu Hai looked at everyone and was silent for a long time. He knew that this group of people were actually knives in Li Yuelan's hands.

Moreover, this kind of situation is bound to happen, but I didn't expect it to come so soon.

Fortunately, he already had a way out for this.

Even if everyone in your village boycotts you, you can still collect aquatic products from other villages.

So as not to break the promise to the city’s aquatic supply and marketing cooperative.

Although the amount is a little less, it is insignificant.

At the beginning, I just wanted to generate income, so I asked those friends to help me call for purchases in their respective villages.

Now it turns out that an unexpected result has come true.

Moreover, as the first day's money was settled, the quantities from several other villages also increased.

Although the output of those villages is not as much as that of our village, the combined output of several villages is at least 2,000 kilograms. Today's account book shows that we have received 1,500 kilograms of aquatic products from other villages.

Therefore, faced with such a situation, Lu Hai was not panicked at all.

It’s just a pity that the villagers foolishly followed Li Yuelan.

After a long silence, Lu Hai finally spoke, but he did not ask Li Yuelan first. Instead, he looked at the people around him and asked,

“Are you sure you want a price increase too?”

Everyone looked at each other and said, "Yes, we want a price increase, but we don't want much. Haizi, you just need to increase the price by 1 cent per pound."

Hearing this, even Li Yuelan did not refute. After all, this was also the bottom price in Li Yuelan's mind.

However, Lu Hai simply shook his head and said, "Then please take the seafood you have home with you, uncles and brothers."

"If you can accept the 1 cent price, come here to weigh it. If you can't accept it, come back when you can accept the price."

After saying that, Lu Hai stopped talking.

Instead, he stared at everyone quietly.

Jiang Lanqing, who was standing by, was completely stunned after hearing this.

At first she thought Lu Hai would accept the villagers' suggestion and raise the price to 20 cents per pound.

After all, she knew the price of this thing. She could make 30 cents per pound by selling it in the city, so a 10 cent price increase was completely acceptable to them.

However, unexpectedly, Lu Hai refused.

Although she had doubts, it was obviously not the time to question her man in front of so many people, so she could only suppress her doubts and wait until the evening to ask him.

As for Li Yuelan and the others, they were all shocked when they heard this.

They thought they had taken a step back, and at 2 cents a pound, you, Lu Hai, could still make a profit.

But, I didn’t expect that they would just refuse to accept it!

Li Yuelan, in particular, thought that with the support of the whole village, she would be able to make Lu Hai bear the loss and take a step back, but she didn't expect that Lu Hai would be so stubborn.

He immediately jumped up and said, "Lu Hai, we all worked so hard just to earn more money, but I didn't expect you to just refuse to accept it?!"

"You would rather not make money yourself than let your fellow villagers not make money. Do you think this is appropriate?"

"Are you still a human being? This is the hard-earned money of the villagers! You want to make so much money, do you believe we will report you?"

"We all know that you also collect these aquatic products from other villages. Now you don't need the villagers' things anymore."

"But don't forget, your behavior can be regarded as speculation!"

The threat in Li Yuelan's words was already very clear.

After all, her original intention was just to get Lu Hai to raise the price so that she could make more money.

But who could have thought that Lu Hai would even overturn the table and simply stop playing.

This naturally meant that even if she had all the strength, she would have nowhere to use it.

So, the meaning behind this is a naked threat.

It would be best if you either raise the price today or everyone can make money.

If you only accept things from other villages and not ours, don't blame us for being polite.

Since we can't make money, then no one should make money.

Anyway, Li Yuelan just didn't want to see Lu Hai living so comfortably.

If it were someone else, they would probably give in after hearing what Li Yuelan said.

Just like Jiang Lanqing is getting anxious now.

After all, Lu Hai's behavior can indeed be considered as speculation and profiteering nowadays.

If this were a more disgusting thing, he would be directly labeled a capitalist.

Although Li Yuelan’s words were hateful, at least both parties could have a good result.

It is naturally a good thing for everyone to make money.

Therefore, Jiang Lanqing was anxious for a moment and wanted to help Lu Hai agree to this matter, so he hurriedly said, "Sister Li, Lu Hai is not..."

However, before Jiang Lanqing could finish his words, Lu Hai spoke directly, "No matter who you say about this matter today, it won't work. Even if you call my father here, I will still say the same thing."

"Want to raise the price? No way, it's 10 cents. If you want to sell, come and weigh it. If you don't want to sell, please go back. I really don't want it."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was furious.

Even Jiang Lanqing was stunned.

This is too harsh! Saying this in front of so many people, isn't this disrespectful? !

So, there was an uproar at the scene.

Originally, if you, Lu Hai, gave in, everyone would be happy and everyone could make money, isn't that good?

Do you have to be so tough?

After all, we are all related to each other from the same village. If you insist on making things so awkward, don't blame them.

So, as soon as these words were spoken, many people turned around and left.

Li Yuelan was delighted when she saw this, because a second-rate guy is just a second-rate guy after all.

He doesn't think before speaking or doing anything.

He has angered so many people today, and there probably aren't many people in the whole village that can accommodate him.

If you want to buy it back then, there will be no more 20 cents per pound...

Thinking of this, Li Yuelan also left with everyone else.

In my mind, I have already started imagining the scene where Lu Hai admits his mistake to them...
