Back to 1978: Getting rich starts with treasure hunting

There were no commercial housing in that era. Gu Youhui wanted to build his own house. He could either buy someone else's old house and rebuild it, or buy land and build it himself.

"I'm still not strong enough. The money I have now seems to be plenty, which is more than enough to maintain basic living. But if I want to do something big, the funds are still too tight."

For example, Gu Youhui wanted to get a piece of land to build a house, but he didn't have enough money, so he could only sigh in despair.

"Take it slow. The reform and opening up has just begun. There are many opportunities. Accumulate wealth slowly." Lin Shu comforted him.

Gu Youhui nodded, and after coming out of the new house, he said goodbye to Lin Shu and went back to the hotel.

In order to accumulate enough funds as soon as possible, he has to work harder and harder.

After seeing Gu Youhui off, Lin Shu went to the trading company.

Because the new store was opening, Lin Shu hired two people to look after the store and take stock, and one person to do the cashiering.

Lin Shu gave the cashier position to Lin Gan's wife Li Lanqiu.

Initially, Li Lanqiu worked as a helper in Gu Youhui's restaurant because of Lin Shu's introduction. Now that Lin Shu's trading company has opened a branch, he naturally asked her to help him with the cashier.

The job of a cashier is easier than that of a restaurant, and sometimes you can look after the children when it is not busy.

Li Lanqiu and Lin Gan’s son can be brought to the store to play during school holidays.

I have truly achieved the goal of working and taking care of my children at the same time.

After walking around the store, Lin Shu found that the goods on the shelves were arranged by category, such as stationery, grains, oils, rice, noodles, daily necessities, etc., which were all arranged by area.

After asking, Lin Shu found out that it was Li Lanqiu who led everyone to do it. Lin Shu was very satisfied with this. He had not explained it before, but it was amazing that a few employees could do it well.

Coming out of the trading company, Lin Shu put on his hat, scarf and gloves, rode his bike to the vicinity of the Third Middle School in the provincial capital, and strolled around the surrounding streets several times.

After getting a general understanding of the situation around the school, I rode my bike to Gu Jiu's company.

As soon as I entered their company's office, I found that except for one clerk, everyone else was away.

"Where are your CEO Gu and CEO Chen?"

The clerk found Lin Shu coming over and hurriedly got up to pour her a cup of hot water. "Sister Lin, it must be very cold outside. You should drink some hot water to warm yourself up. President Gu and other employees have gone to the warehouse. I heard that President Gu and his team want to distribute the goods in the warehouse to the salesmen. Whoever completes the sales volume first by the end of the year will get a generous bonus."

"Oh, and there's this. For the bonus, I believe the salesmen will do their best to sell to various units."

Lin Shu raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that Gu Jiu and the others had set up a reward mechanism.

They have aroused the enthusiasm of all the salesmen.

"Yes, after hearing about the bonuses set by Mr. Gu, I want to become a salesperson."

"Everyone has their own job. Just stay in the office and work. It's so comfortable in the office. It's so cold outside."

Lin Shu drank a cup of hot water and felt much warmer.

To be honest, who wants to go outside in the cold winter?

How comfortable it is to stay in the office or at home, warm yourself by the fire, eat snacks and lie down.

Lin Shu put down the cup, stood up and picked up her handbag, "Okay, I'll go to the warehouse to check it out, you go do your thing."

After coming out of the office, Lin Shu went directly to the warehouse behind the office.

The warehouse used to be filled with dried fruits sent from the north and Guangdong Province, all packed in sacks.

This time, all the sacks in the warehouse were gone, and all I could see were big cardboard boxes.

Inside are pre-packaged dried fruit gift boxes.

Lin Shu looked and saw that each large cardboard box contained twelve gift boxes.

Gu Jiu noticed Lin Shu coming in from the door and greeted him with a smile, "Why are you here today?"

"I went to the new house and came to see how you guys are doing." Lin Shu looked around the warehouse and asked, "Have you finished packing the first batch of dried fruits?"

"Yes, they are all packed. We are just waiting for them to place orders and then ship them to various units."

Gu Jiu took Lin Shu deep into the warehouse.

There was a small lounge inside, where Chen Fei, Xiaohui and Li Yiyu were sitting by the fire, eating melon seeds and drinking tea.

what's the situation?

Lin Shu looked at Gu Jiu, not that he was in a hurry to do business.

Why are all of them staying in the lounge? They seem to be quite idle.

"Mr. Chen, you live a very comfortable life." As he said that, Lin Shu sat in Gu Jiu's original seat.

Chen Fei poured her a cup of tea leisurely, "I was busy recently, and I just had a little free time today when you bumped into me."

Gu Jiu sat next to Lin Shu, pushed the tea that Fade Chen had poured in front of her, and explained, "There are other people doing the business. Ma Zi is discussing with Xiao Hui about going to Guangdong Province."

Lin Shu guessed: "Going to Guangdong Province? Do you want to get a batch of goods here to make some money at the end of the year?"

"Sister-in-law is really smart. She guessed it right at once." Chen Fei laughed happily.

Lin Shu smiled. The atmosphere of the New Year is very strong in this era. The New Year is celebrated in the way it should be, and people are willing to spend money during the New Year.

"What goods are you going to get from Guangdong Province to sell?"

"I don't have any specific goal. I can only go there and buy some New Year goods if I think they will sell well."

Lin Shu took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and looked at Chen Fei: "I will buy a batch of toys or New Year goods in the twelfth lunar month. I will trouble you to help me find more people who are willing to set up stalls."

"What good stuff have you got? Do you want to develop the street stall economy?" Chen Fei was very curious about what good stuff Lin Shu had.

The so-called street stall economy is to find a group of unemployed young people, let them come to set up street stalls to get goods, and then pay for the goods when they make money.

Or let the street vendors buy a batch of goods first, and let them set up stalls in various parts of the city. If the goods cannot be sold out, they can be returned and exchanged for other popular goods.

It can be said that the street stall economy has been of great help in the re-employment of educated youth who went to the countryside from the provincial capital.

At the end of last year, the company purchased batches of discounted clothes from garment factories and asked unemployed young people to set up stalls.

Last year, many people made a lot of money with the help of the company. This year, I believe that as long as Chen Fei calls out, many people will be willing to come to purchase goods and set up stalls.

"There are some daily necessities, toys, socks, hardware tools, etc. There are quite a lot of varieties."

Chen Fei was envious after hearing this. With such a large number of products entering the provincial capital, they would definitely sell out.

By then, wouldn’t their company just be watching Lin Shu make money?

But this is Lin Shu's unique business, and Chen Fei can't be shameless enough to ask her about the source of the goods.

“It’s no problem to find someone, but sister-in-law, you have such a big business, are you going to treat us tonight?”

Gu Jiu was not happy, "Hey, last time we said you would treat us after we processed this batch of goods, so what, do you want to default on your debt?"

Chen Fei chuckled and said, "This batch of goods has not been sold out yet. I will treat you when all of them are sold out. I will keep my word and never cheat."

"It's no problem to treat us. I hope Mr. Chen can help me find someone to set up the stall in a few days." Lin Shu agreed first.

"Let's hold the dinner at my restaurant. Since the child is still young, I won't go with you tonight. But Gu Jiu can represent me to entertain you all."

After the matter of finding someone to set up the stall was settled, Lin Shu came out of the company and went straight home.

After saying hello to Wang Suzhen in the living room, Lin Shu went straight upstairs.

In her bedroom, Liu Xiao'e was playing with her eldest and second child on a blanket.

Seeing her coming back, Liu Xiaoe yawned, "Oh, you're finally back. I couldn't fall asleep when the two babies were sleeping in the afternoon. I feel sleepy now. You watch the children first, I'll lie down and take a nap."

I can't bear not sleeping.

My eyelids are so heavy that I can hardly open them.

"Okay, go to sleep first. I'll call you when dinner is ready."

It is already tiring for a young person to take care of a baby of a few months old, let alone an old person taking care of two babies at the same time.

Lin Shu took over taking care of the baby and asked Comrade Liu Xiao'e to go and have a rest first, otherwise she would not have energy at night.

As soon as Comrade Liu Xiao'e left the bedroom, Dabao took out the mobile phone from Gold Finger's villa.

"Mom, where did you go today?"

"I took a look around the new house and visited your father's company."

Lin Shu picked up Erbao, who was chewing biscuits, and let her sit in his arms. He stroked her with one hand and stroked her thick hair with the other.

The twins inherited the best features of their parents, including their hair.

The first and second babies had thick hair since they were born.

Especially the second baby’s, his thick hair has grown to ear length.

"What's so good about his company? Brothers are involved in interests, and they will fall out sooner or later."

Lin Shu glanced at the words typed on his phone and looked at Dabao in shock: "Did the two brothers have a falling out in their previous life?"

Dabao shook his finger. "In his previous life, he and Fade Chen got along very well. It's just that the company they started together was eventually transferred to Fade Chen. It's unknown whether they had a conflict or parted ways because of different ambitions. The old man didn't tell me what his relationship with Fade Chen was like at the time."

When you see a baby of a few months old in front of you, who can't walk but can only sit, with a serious expression and a very controlled aura.

Lin Shu wanted so much that he couldn't wait to hug him and cuddle him to his heart's content.

"I want to get some goods out of the system mall, and do both retail and wholesale at the end of the year to make some quick money first."

Dabao sighed helplessly, "Mom, your vision is too narrow. How many people do you need to set up stalls to make what you consider to be a decent amount of money by wholesale some worthless daily necessities?"

"Instead of wasting time, why not just buy a few machines from the system mall and open a factory? Or you can sell the machines to major factories and make a profit from the difference."

Lin Shu was shocked when he heard his words: "You make it sound so easy, but what if the machine I bought from the system mall is not available in China but imported from abroad? Wouldn't that expose me?"

Dabao smiled and said, "You can buy a sewing machine and expand your team. You can try to open your own clothing factory next year."

Lin Shu was very tempted, but the economy had just started to reform and open up, so there was no need to rush for the time being, and the economy would gradually improve.

"With you two clinging to me, how can I have the energy to open a clothing factory?"

"How about you grow up quickly and let me let you manage this garment factory?"

Erbao watched Lin Shu and Dabao interacting, pouted his lips in satisfaction, climbed onto Lin Shu's lap, and made some meowing sounds.

Dabao turned his head away.

Lin Shu looked at his equally thick hair and reached out to rub his soft hair.

As the twelfth lunar month approached, Lin Shu asked Lin Dashan to deliver the food and bought an extra processed pig.

The pig was handed over to the eldest and second sisters-in-law of the Lin family, who then pickled it and made it into bacon.

For rural people, they never forget to smoke bacon when they go to the city.

Smoking bacon requires firewood, so taking advantage of the good weather in the twelfth lunar month, Lin Shu left the children behind and went into the mountains again.

This time when he went into the mountains, Lin Shu met an old man who was also going into the mountains.

The old man was quite surprised to meet Lin Shu.

He didn't expect that a little girl would be willing to run up the mountain to collect herbs.

What was even more surprising was that Lin Shu was able to keep up with his pace and climb the mountain without getting out of breath at all.

Lin Shu was also surprised that the old man, who was almost sixty years old, could climb the mountain as if he were walking on flat ground without any breath.

There are quite a few grey thistles along the roadside.

At this time of year, the plants above ground of gray thistle dry up, and the rhizomes underground can be harvested.

Gray thistle is a herb of the genus Thistle in the Asteraceae family.

It has the effects of clearing heat, cooling blood and regulating menstruation.

Lin Shu touched it lightly, and the roots of the gray thistle under the ground were already collected into the system.

The old man was walking in front and had no idea what was happening behind him.

Suddenly, the old man in front squatted down and gently brushed away the withered weeds on the roadside. A lot of herbs like wild vegetables grew on the ground.

【Host, serum was found earlier. 】

Blood serum, also known as sheep's ear garlic, Lidihao, hairy arrowhead, rock taro, etc., as the name suggests, it is a holy medicine for hemostasis.

"Wow, there's a patch of serum here, you're so lucky."

The old man turned around and glanced at Lin Shu, then began to dig, "The little girl knows a lot."

"Luckily, I got to know it."

Lin Shu smiled, then walked past the old man and headed into the forest.

Entering the forest, Lin Shu found a plant that looked a bit like a lily, but after looking carefully, he realized it was not a lily.

[System, what kind of herb is this? ]

【Back to the host, this is a herb of the genus Asteraceae, called Asteraceae. In some places, it is also called Tongchangcao, which means eternal youth. It has the effects of relieving exterior pathogens, dispelling wind, relieving inflammation and pain, and relieving cough and asthma. The whole plant can be used as medicine. 】

Can the whole plant be used as medicine?

What are you waiting for? Lin Shu just touched it, and the fragrant green plant entered the system instantly.

[Host, there is a century-old chicken blood vine ten meters in front of you. ]

[Wow, a century-old chicken blood vine! I’ve made a fortune! ]

Lin Shu couldn't wait to run forward, not caring about the other herbs along the way.

Millettia reticulata was listed as a medicinal material very early in ancient times. Later, with the popularization of traditional Chinese medicine, its medicinal value was continuously discovered.

It is considered a relatively precious medicinal herb, and its price has also risen sharply.

As the name suggests, Chicken Blood Vine is called Chicken Blood Vine because when it is injured, blood-like juice will flow out of the wound.

In the Centennial Chicken Blood Vine Income System, Lin Shu paid special attention to the changes in the balance, and finally it increased by three hundred and forty-two yuan.

Sure enough, all century-old medicinal herbs have extraordinary origins.

After harvesting the chicken blood vine, Lin Shu discovered a clump of ginseng vines in the forest.

Because of its purple color, yam is also called purple yam.

It belongs to the same family as yam, but has some differences.

The juice of yam will cause itching when it gets on the skin, but the juice of ginseng potato will not cause allergies on your hands.

Last time, Lin Shu dug a lot of it up in the mountains and brought it back. He used it to make soup at home and it tasted really good.

This time I discovered this bunch, so I asked the system to harvest it and set aside some to take home and make soup.
