1952: Walking through Nantongluo Alley

"Huaiguo, you will ride your bike to Qinjia Village and bring Qin Dazhuang here. Tell him not to bring anything with him, just his bedding and everything."

"Also, I have an announcement today!"

After speaking to Qin Huaiguo, Chen Xiao called Qin Tieniu and Zhang Cuilan over.

"Chen Xiao, what's up? I'm busy right now. If you don't hurry up, I'm afraid I won't be able to make these ten thousand pounds of konjac."

Qin Tieniu wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand.

He now had only one thought in his mind, which was to make as much konjac as possible. A bag was 25 cents, which was much more profitable than growing crops.

"Can't you be busy later? Don't you see that your brother-in-law has something to say to you?" Zhang Cuilan rolled her eyes at him.

Then Chen Xiao looked at Qin Tieniu and the other two seriously.

"Mom, Dad, and Huaiguo, I have something to announce today."

"We are all family, and you guys really help me with my work, running around for me all day long, while I rarely ask about anything."

"So I don't want to pay you salaries anymore. Instead, I'll divide the profits among you based on your shares!"

"Shares?" Qin Tieniu and others looked at each other.

This was the first time they had heard this unfamiliar word and they had no idea what it meant.

Qin Tieniu scratched his head and asked in confusion.

"Chen Xiao, what does this share mean?"

Chen Xiao was speechless for a moment. He probably thought that even if he explained to Qin Tieniu and the others, they wouldn't understand.

So I just changed the method.

“This share…”

"That's right, for example, let's say Konjac Shuang's net profit today is 200 yuan. You and Huai Guo each own 5% of the shares. Based on that 5% share, each of you gets 10 yuan."

"Of course, the 200 yuan is just an example. If we can steadily produce 2000 kilograms of konjac per day, the net profit per day will be at least yuan."

"Mom, Dad, and Huaiguo, you can get 100 yuan of net profit every day."

“This is what joint-stock ownership means!”

After hearing what Chen Xiao said, Qin Tieniu and the others' eyes froze for a moment.

What does it mean to earn 100 yuan a day?

Even if their family worked hard in the countryside for a year growing crops, they still couldn't sell them for that much money.

And this is just one day's income. If calculated on a monthly basis, each of them can get 3000 yuan, which adds up to almost yuan.

What did 52 yuan mean in ? Ordinary people couldn't even imagine it.

Even in the 80s and 90s during the reform and opening up period, a person with a total asset of yuan was a celebrity in the surrounding area!

Therefore, they were all extremely shocked, and their minds went blank.

Qin Tieniu stuttered and looked at Zhang Cuilan.

"Old lady, slap me quickly! I feel like I'm dreaming."

Zhang Cuilan slapped him without saying a word. She also wanted to confirm whether she was dreaming.

With a crisp sound, Zhang Cuilan slapped Qin Huaiguo directly on the butt.

Qin Huaiguo almost jumped up, holding his butt, and complained angrily.

"Mom, my dad asked you to hit him, why did you hit me?"

......

"Mom and Dad, you are not dreaming, this is all real." Chen Xiao said to them with a smile.

"We are all family, and you work so hard all day, you deserve this money!"

There are still a few years before the special period. Even if the wind blows, the worst that can happen is that it will flow to Hong Kong.

The primary goal now is to make money, make money, and make money.

And collect more antiques.

By the way, Chen Xiao hasn't been to Liulichang for a while, and the only antique he has now is the Northern Song Dynasty Ru Kiln celadon glaze washbasin.

But this cannot be blamed on Chen Xiao. It can only be said that he has had too many things to do recently and has no time to go to Liulichang.

Qin Tieniu bit his lips lightly, looking hesitant.

"Chen Xiao, your mother and I are just farmers. We come here to help you and only do some rough work. We are not worthy of the 3000 yuan a month share."

"Why don't you just continue paying us!"

Qin Tieniu is an honest man, so he was a little reluctant to ask Chen Xiao for so much money.

"Dad, aren't you treating me like an outsider? We are all family. I make money, so why should I let my father-in-law and his family suffer?"

Qin Tieniu wanted to say something else, but Chen Xiao stepped forward to interrupt him.

"Dad, stop talking. This is settled."

Then he looked at Qin Huaiguo.

"Huaiguo, go to Qinjia Village and pick up Qin Dazhuang now. I'll help you in the yard for a while."

Qin Huaiguo nodded in agreement, then rode his bicycle quickly towards Qinjia Village.

Chen Xiao just told him that he would be paid according to the profit sharing in the future. The monthly salary of 3000 yuan made Qin Huaiguo feel a little flattered.

Along the way, my mind was full of how to spend so much money, and I would smile from time to time.

Halfway through the journey, Qin Huaiguo stopped.

He murmured, clenching his fists.

"Huaiguo, have you forgotten what your brother-in-law told you? You have to be low-key! It's not good to be too high-profile!"

"No matter how rich you are, you can always find a few people who are richer than you."

"After all, this is the Forbidden City..."

Although the four seas have been united, the city still has hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Various former dignitaries, princes and princesses are countless.

What's more, there are various leaders.

Let me put it this way, if you throw a brick on the road in Beijing, it might hit two important people on the head.

When he arrived at Qinjia Village, Qin Huaiguo rode his bicycle directly into Qin Dazhuang's yard.

After entering the yard, he did not get off the bike, but rode in circles around the yard.

"Da Zhuang! Da Zhuang! Are you home? I'm Huai Guo!"

Qin Huaiguo shouted into the room.

Not long after, a young man with a simple and honest appearance walked out of the house.

This person is Qin Dazhuang.

"Huaiguo, didn't you go to the city with your brother-in-law? Why did you think of my home?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Dazhuang's eyes lit up instantly.

"Bicycle? Huaiguo, is this your bicycle or your brother-in-law's?"

Qin Dazhuang ran over, stopped Qin Huaiguo's bicycle, and then stroked it with envy.

"What do you think? My brother-in-law's bicycle is not as new as mine. Of course I bought it." Qin Huaiguo showed off proudly.

"Huaiguo, you are going to the city to make a fortune with your brother-in-law. I heard that a bicycle costs 200 yuan." There was no jealousy in Qin Dazhuang's eyes, only envy.

He and Qin Huaiguo have been friends since they were young, and they are considered good brothers since childhood. Their brotherhood will not be affected by other external things at all.

"No, no, it doesn't cost 200 yuan. This bicycle, including the license plate, only cost 175 yuan in total."
