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

"I don't know about that. It still depends on Brother Lin's luck." Lu Hai spread his hands and did not comment on Liu Guowei's words.

Liu Guowei nodded when he saw this. Although Lu Hai did not say it explicitly, he knew that if nothing unexpected happened, it should succeed.

He still had great faith in Lu Hai's abilities. In their previous interactions, he was not the kind of person who boasted, and he was always sure of what he said.

Therefore, Liu Guowei was relieved at this time about Lin Jianguo's predicament.

After all, it was his idea to ask Lu Hai. If Lu Hai's words led to his arrest, he would inevitably feel guilty.

"Okay, since he is busy, let's have a drink." As he said this, Liu Guowei raised the wine in his hand.

Seeing this, Lu Hai smiled and said, "Brother Liu, your salary this month is probably not enough to buy a drink, right?"

After all, after getting along with each other, Lu Hai also discovered that Liu Guowei really loved drinking. Every time he had a meal with the two of them, he would drink one or two bottles of Moutai.

A bottle costs more than ten yuan. Lu Hai also estimated Liu Guowei's salary, which is probably at most a hundred yuan.

Although he doesn't drink it every day, he still spends sixty or seventy yuan a month just on Moutai. Most leaders would not be willing to spend that money.

Obviously, Liu Guowei is also a wealthy man.

Liu Guowei smiled and said, "When life is good, you should enjoy it to the fullest. Isn't the money earned to be spent?"

"That makes sense!" Lu Hai then brought over two small wine glasses, first poured a glass for Liu Guowei, and then filled his own glass.

The two of them ate and drank. Lu Hai's main purpose for coming this time was for his upcoming mountain goods business, so he did not hide it and said directly,

"Brother Liu, do you have any connections to the mountain products market in the city?"

Liu Guowei picked up a peanut and asked, "Do you want to do some mountain products business?"

Lu Hai nodded directly, "Now that the aquatic business is on the right track, I don't have to worry about it anymore, so I want to find a way to make money. After all, who can complain about having too much money?"

Liu Guowei was silent for a while. "I do have a way, and I happen to know the person in charge there. But brother Lu, your business is so big, aren't you afraid that it will attract attention?"

Liu Guowei knew that Lu Hai could earn seven or eight hundred yuan a day with ease. If he opened up a mountain products business, it would not be a problem for him to earn more than a thousand yuan a day.

But as far as Liu Guowei knows, there are fixed people providing purchases at the mountain product trading market.

The amount that can flow out is very small, estimated to be around a few hundred to a thousand kilograms.

Moreover, the most profitable time for mountain products is only a few months. When winter comes, the output of mountain products drops sharply, so the money earned is naturally less. However, aquatic products are stable all year round.

So compared with the two, each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Now, with Lin Jianguo’s connections, he might be able to cover the aquatic products alone.

After all, Lu Hai only purchases aquatic products from a few villages.

But if another channel for mountain products is opened, I guess these villages won’t be able to bear it.

After all, everyone was catching aquatic products for Lu Hai and no one was collecting mountain products for him, so if Lu Hai wanted to make money, he could only expand outward.

If this gets made too big of a deal, someone higher up might get jealous.

In just one day, you can earn more than a year's or even a year and a half's salary of a senior leader. Who wouldn't be jealous?

Lu Hai was lucky to have met people like him and Lin Jianguo who only cared about having enough money to spend. If it were someone else, they would definitely make things difficult for Lu Hai.

"And brother, although the mountain product business is promising, the amount purchased now is actually not large. After working so hard for so long, you probably only earn about the same as you do from aquatic products. There is really no need for us to do this, and if we expose ourselves, it will be totally not worth it." Liu Guowei advised.

After all, although what Lu Hai is doing now is trade activities, that is a term used by later generations.

The definition is very vague nowadays. If you encounter a serious person or a senior official who wants to prosecute the army and navy, you will definitely be charged with the crime of speculation.

Last time it was Li Hongfu, and they could still cover it up. If it gets to the city or province level, the definition of this matter would be debatable.

Anyway, in the end, Lu Hai will definitely suffer, so in Liu Guowei's opinion, instead of earning money with such a big risk, it is better to work in the aquatic industry peacefully and steadily.

Lu Hai smiled and said, "Brother Liu, if the quantity is really only a few hundred or a thousand kilograms, I won't bother with this, but what if the policy is open?"

Liu Guowei was stunned. If the policy was really open and the country allowed stalls to open shops, then all kinds of stores in the city would surely pop up like mushrooms after a rain, and the market would naturally grow larger.

By then it won’t be just a few hundred kilograms.

But is that possible?

Our own channels have not received any similar news yet, and the current pilot cities are only those along the coastal areas.

Even in the imperial capital, there is no similar policy now.

Therefore, although it is possible to open it, in Liu Guowei's opinion, it will take at least several years, at least not in the short term.

However, Lu Hai was so confident in what he said that Liu Guowei was shaken.

Is the policy really about to open up?

"Brother Lu, did you calculate this?" Liu Guowei asked doubtfully.

Lu Hai shook his head. If he said that he had calculated this kind of thing, it would be really shocking. After all, he had only demonstrated his physiognomy ability. How could he calculate the national policy opening-up?

Therefore, it is too suspicious to talk about this kind of thing, and Lu Hai will never admit it.

Although he knew that it might be open by the end of the year, knowing is one thing and telling others clearly is another.

"Brother Liu, how can we calculate something like this?" Lu Hai said with a wry smile.

Then he added, "But this is what my intuition tells me. Just look at the current situation in the country and you will know."

"Can this kind of thing be inferred through observation?" Liu Guowei was even more confused.

Lu Hai stared at Liu Guowei very seriously, "Why not?"

"Brother Liu, there are more and more educated youth returning to their hometowns now, right?"

"Yeah." Liu Guowei nodded, "What does that have to do with policy?"

"First of all, Brother Liu, you see, as more and more educated youth return to their hometowns, there will be more and more idle people in the local area. After all, the jobs provided by the state and the positions in the factories cannot accommodate so many people."

"But you can still take the college entrance examination, right? The college entrance examination is now open," said Liu Guowei.

"That's what you said, but Brother Liu, have you ever thought about how many places are available for the college entrance examination? And can all these educated youth pass the college entrance examination?" Lu Hai asked back.

Lu Hai knew clearly that in 80, there were more than three million college entrance examination candidates nationwide, but the final number of admissions was only more than .

The acceptance rate is only a pitiful 8 percent!

Nearly three million people failed the exam. It is no exaggeration to describe the college entrance examination as like a mighty host crossing a single-plank bridge.

And these are only those who took the college entrance examination. There are many who did not take it.

When Liu Guowei heard this, he immediately recalled the shockingly low admission rate in the three years since the resumption of the college entrance examination.

Seeing Liu Guowei stunned for a moment, Lu Hai continued, "So, the policy opening is inevitable, otherwise there is no way to arrange for so many idle people, and idle people are also a very serious problem for social security."

"Instead of asking the government to find ways to arrange employment for so many people, it is better to open up policies and let these people arrange their own jobs."

"What's more, it can also promote economic development, so the opening of this policy is inevitable."

After listening to this, Liu Guowei fell silent.

Obviously no one expected that Lu Hai would think of so much.

Moreover, judging that this is a sign of policy liberalization based solely on such a phenomenon is undoubtedly a bit of gambling.

"But that's a problem for the future. The market can't consume so many mountain products now. You'll end up with nothing when the time comes."

Although according to Lu Hai, this policy does need to be relaxed.

But wouldn't it be better to wait until the market is big enough to do it? Why do we have to take the risk of being exposed now?

Lu Hai smiled and said, "Brother Liu, who said I want to sell so many mountain products now? Are dry goods no longer mountain products?"

When Liu Guowei heard this, he reacted immediately.

"You mean to open up the channels first, and then when the policy is liberalized and the market needs a large amount of mountain products, the price of these mountain products will definitely skyrocket in the short term, but you have enough to supply the market..."

Lu Hai smiled and nodded, without denying Liu Guowei's statement.

Because Lu Hai started out in the mountain goods business in his previous life, he naturally knew all the ins and outs of it.

Before the policy was opened up at the end of 80, the purchase volume of mountain products was indeed small, but after the policy was opened up, the demand naturally increased.

However, because the control over the economy has not been fully opened up, there are still people working as middlemen, but not many.

But at least the acquisition volume has increased, otherwise Lu Hai would not have the idea of ​​doing the work of a middleman, and making a lot of money from it.

At that time, if you dared to be a middleman, it would be like picking up money on the ground with a sack.

It was not until 88 when the policy was completely liberalized that this type of speculative activity no longer required guerrilla warfare with the police. The number of middlemen increased, and the era of picking up money was over.

Although it is still possible to make money, the speed is naturally much slower than before.

So, Lu Hai turned around and did other things.

Now, what Lu Hai needs to do is to set up its own acquisition and shipment channels before the policy is opened up.

This forms a virtuous cycle, so that when the policy is opened up, he can concentrate on other things.

Moreover, once the policy is liberalized, more people will naturally come into this field, and I will have to put in some effort then.

According to his plan, he probably won't be here by the end of the year, so these things will naturally be difficult to handle.

So it is better to deal with everything before the policy is opened up, and then you only need to arrange people to ship the goods.

You can also take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune. After all, when the policy is relaxed and the market supply is insufficient, the purchase price will naturally increase.

Therefore, Lu Hai doesn’t care at all about how much he can produce now.

And that's one of the reasons why he wanted to build a house, because he needed a place to store these things.

Liu Guowei fell silent after knowing Lu Hai's plan. To be honest, if he were Lu Hai, he would not have such courage.

If the policy had not been liberalized, he would have probably lost money after collecting mountain products for several months. The total amount would be at least tens of thousands of yuan. If it were him, it would be another matter whether he could afford it, let alone use it to gamble on the policy like Lu Hai.

In later generations, this would be considered a complete gambler.

"Brother Lu, are you really not afraid of losing money? After all, the risk is extremely high." Liu Guowei still wanted to persuade Lu Hai.

Lu Hai shook his head and expressed his thoughts, "I think it's okay to gamble, and there's no such thing as risk-free business."

If it weren’t for his experience in his previous life, Lu Hai would not have dared to gamble with such a big risk, but now?

Why not take a 100% chance to make money?

So, even though he knew Liu Guowei had good intentions, he still insisted on his own ideas.

Seeing that Lu Hai was so persistent, Liu Guowei knew that it was hopeless to persuade him, and finally sighed helplessly.

"Since you insist, Brother Lu, I'll call you tonight to ask. I'll give you a definite answer tomorrow whether it will work or not."

"Okay, thank you very much, Brother Liu." Lu Hai raised the wine glass in his hand and said.

"Are we still so polite to each other?" Liu Guowei smiled and then changed the subject, "However, Brother Lu, when you advised me to make plans early, was it also because of your gambling policy?"

As smart as he was, he immediately understood what Lu Hai said.

After all, when the policy was opened up, the first to be affected were naturally these time-honored state-owned restaurants.

After all, the food in the state-owned guesthouse is delicious, but the price is really high.

However, when ordinary people can enter and run restaurants, the price will naturally be lower than that of their state-owned ones.

In comparison, the business of this state-owned guesthouse will naturally decrease.

Lu Hai did not deny it. "That's right, Brother Liu. But even if the policy is liberalized, it won't affect the state-owned guesthouses so quickly. So Brother Liu, you still have time to think about it."

When Liu Guowei heard this, he was silent for a while...
