Dreaming back to 1949, the great powers were there to deceive us

Before Hu Zhenhua arrived at the Friendship Store, he heard a familiar voice.

"Second brother, do you want to exchange for rice?"

Little Yellow Ox Wu Lie has had a hard time recently because Chongming has started paying wages in rice yuan. As there are more rice yuan on the market, the number of people looking for Wu Lie to exchange them has greatly decreased.

Moreover, many colleagues appeared on the island, and many bold ones began to compete with Wu Lie for territory near the Friendship Store, and fights broke out between the two sides.

Wu Lie saw Qu Xiaodou and greeted him warmly.

"Brother, do you still want to exchange for rice and yuan? The old price!"

Qu Xiaodou rolled his eyes and said,

"Then change some more."

The chocolate I bought last time was wasted, and the candies were divided up by the hungry wolves in the team. This time, I have to bring some for Xiaohong.

Hu Zhenhua watched Qu Xiaodou happily enter the Friendship Store, and suddenly remembered that he had lost the bet last time and promised to find out about Xiaohong's situation for Qu Xiaodou.

I actually forgot about this matter completely.

Hu Zhenhua turned around and asked the security guards around him,

"There's a girl named Xiaohong in the Cathay Hotel. Does anyone know anything about her?"

After a while, Nightingale said slowly,

"There seems to be a waitress named Xiaohong in the restaurant on the third floor. She has a ponytail and a frighteningly pale face!"

Suddenly, Toad said,

"What are you looking at? That girl's skin is white with a hint of red. How can it be scary white?"

The Nightingale argued,

"As white as a ghost!"

Hu Zhenhua interrupted their argument and shouted,

"Whether she's pale or not, you can discuss that later. What I want to know now is how she's doing and if she has a boyfriend."

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what Lao Hu meant.

After a long time, Toad said,

"How could you not have a partner when you're so beautiful?"

Lao Hu was speechless and thought to himself: You deserve to be single!

When my brother was in school, I could even find out all the beauties in the school and their ancestors for eighteen generations.

You guys are so good, guarding a nest of beauties but don’t even know their basic information.

Toad looked at Hu Zhenhua with a strange look in his eyes and said with a smile,

"Boss, you'll have to ask Bat about this. He's the one who's in charge of the house, and he knows everything about the personnel situation at Chinachem. We're all out on the field, and when we get home, we just sleep. How can we have the time to know who's who?"

Old Hu thought about it and it made sense.

Just at this moment, Qu Xiaodou came out with two packages, one of which was chocolate and the other of which was candy.

He threw a pack of cigarettes over to each of them and said with a smile,

"Hey guys, don't try to steal these candies. I have great uses for them!"

Hu Zhenhua suddenly had a strong premonition that Qu Xiaodou's candies would probably be wasted again.

As Toad said, the more beautiful a girl is, the less likely she is to be single.

The girl named Xiaohong should be good-looking, otherwise she wouldn't have been targeted by Qu Xiaodou.

While a few people were chatting, Xu Youcai had already picked out the goods.

Sewing needles, buttons, polyester thread, cotton thread, scissors, kettle, towel, matches, lighter, candy, brown sugar cubes, rattle, small toys...

There are dozens of kinds.

As a peddler, the main focus is on offering a full range of products.

It has to be said that Xu Youcai understands very well what rural areas need.

Hu Zhenhua looked at the huge pile of things and asked curiously,

"Uncle, there are so many things, can you carry them all?"

Xu Youcai wiped the sweat from his forehead, grinned, and laughed happily.

"This is nothing. The rice bundles we carry in our village are much heavier than this. I'm tired, I can take a break!"

Hu Zhenhua said nothing more.

You have to earn your own good life. You can save him once, but you can't save him for a lifetime.

Hu Zhenhua suddenly thought of something and said,

"Uncle, work hard. Life is like this. It's hard at first, but it's sweet later. When you save enough money, you can buy a rickshaw. Then your life will be much easier!"

Hu Zhenhua waved his hand, and immediately someone came over pushing a human-powered tricycle.

This car is made of very solid materials! The body alone weighs over 100 kilograms.

Xu Youcai couldn't take his eyes off it once he saw it.

Hu Zhenhua turned over, pedaled a circle, and stopped steadily in front of Xu Youcai, smiling,

"Uncle, come and try it!"

Xu Youcai had no experience in riding a bike and pedaled forward unsteadily. However, he had a strong learning ability and was able to ride steadily and straight in just a few minutes.

With this car, it is very labor-saving.

Everyone surrounded the tricycle, envious.

Hu Zhenhua could of course give it away directly, but he didn't intend to do so.

This tricycle will become Xu Youcai's hope and point out the direction for his struggle.

Then, Lao Hu took them to visit the warehouse.

These peddlers will be walking radio stations, promoting Tongan's industrial products.

What are the vast rural areas lacking?

Everything is lacking, but what is most lacking are pumps and tractors!

Hu Zhenhua handed a stack of industrial product catalogs to Xu Youcai, signed Xu Youcai's name on each one, and gave him a number: HL00001.

HL is the abbreviation of peddler.

"Uncle, take these catalogs with you. Give one to each village. Tell them that as long as they bring this catalog, I'll give them a 10% discount for Uncle Xu's sake!"

Xu Youcai was overjoyed and took it quickly.

As long as you are a human being, you care about your reputation.

Xu Youcai has already begun to fantasize about the admiring gazes of others.

Carter and Morris arrived at some point. They stood in the distance and watched Lao Hu perform quietly.

Morris whispered,

"Hu Zhenhua is as cunning as a fox. He clearly asked people to help him with publicity without spending a penny, and yet others are still grateful to him!"

Carter shrugged and smiled.

"He has this ability, you have no choice but to accept it!"

Hu Zhenhua suddenly remembered something, he slapped his head and thought to himself that he was confused!

Although the People's Bank of China has issued RMB, it has not yet been circulated, and the vast liberated areas still lack stable currency.

Xu Youcai and dozens of other people looked like honest farmers who had never done business before.

Once they plunged into the market, they found that ordinary people had no money to pay and were definitely at a loss.

Lao Hu didn't dare to hope that they could adapt and overcome the difficulties on their own.

Some things, even if there is only a thin layer of window paper between them, may take a long time to break through.

If you let a person who can't swim dive into the water, he will most likely drown.

Hu Zhenhua thought about it for a long time and suddenly realized: the background of exchanging chicken feathers for sugar is very similar to the current situation, both of which are that there is not enough circulating currency in society.

Therefore, chicken feathers and duck feathers serve as general equivalents.

After figuring this out, Hu Zhenhua immediately called everyone together and began to explain to them how to exchange products for chicken feathers, duck feathers, etc.

There are many things that can be collected, but there are still some rules about what can be collected and what cannot be collected.

Hu Zhenhua was not very clear about the prices of some things, so he called some people together for consultation.

After more than an hour of hard work, I finally taught Xu Youcai and the others, but they still have to try it on their own for the subsequent practice.

Xu Youcai is an honest man. Actually, he is not stupid, he just has never been exposed to these things.

He immediately understood Hu Zhenhua's guidance.

There are many such cases in society. For example, someone just came to the city and does not understand the traffic rules and cannot understand the traffic lights. He is not stupid, he just has not been exposed to it.

Hu Zhenhua was working with great enthusiasm, and secretly sighed: The small commodity city is about to be launched ahead of schedule.

But what he didn't know was that he had made a serious mistake.

Trading chicken feathers for sugar, also known as the sugar-knocking gang, is just a superficial phenomenon. Behind them, there is a complete system to support them.

Any success has deep-seated reasons. If you only focus on the surface, you are doomed to fail.

In history, the candy-knocking gangs had a strict internal division of labor and were mainly divided into two categories: sitting in the workshop and carrying the candy.

The Zuofang is the core organization of the Tangqiao Gang, which includes four roles:

1. The "Sugar Shop" is responsible for the production and lending of sugar products, providing fried sugar granules, sugar cakes and ginger candies to the sugar knockers, and also purchasing the goods of the sugar knockers;

2. The "station head" is the temporary residence of the sugar knockers, and also serves as the transportation business for the sugar, providing accommodation and logistics support for the sugar knockers;

3. "Experts" specialize in purchasing various small commodities needed for daily use to support the operation of the "Knocking Sugar Gang";

4. The "old landowners" are responsible for receiving and processing the goods exchanged by the sugar gangs, and are an important part of the transaction process.

The dantou is mainly composed of people who carry sugar baskets, and there is a clear division of labor among them.

What Hu Zhenhua saw was only the most superficial thing.

Why does the Tangqiao Gang need comprehensive logistical support?

Because the peddler only relied on his two feet and carried a heavy load, he was destined not to go far.

Take Xu Youcai as an example. If he sells out of needles, does he have to go to Chongming to replenish them? How much time will it take to go back and forth?

Also, should the chicken and duck feathers he exchanged for be dealt with promptly, and where can he go to deal with them?

Hu Zhenhua did not design the organizational structure well, which doomed the chicken feathers for sugar deal to fail.

After everyone has chosen their items, the salesperson begins to calculate the value of the goods.

Morris's eyes lit up.

Lending and lending are the business scope of banks.

In fact, it was not only him, Carter also wanted to extend his hand into the industrial zone. No matter whether he hinted or hinted, Hu Zhenhua just refused to give in, and his reason was very sufficient: if you come forward directly, it will have too much political connotations.

How could a middleman allow manufacturers to bypass him?

Morris pulled Hu Zhenhua aside, with a flattering look on his face.

"Hu, how about we talk?"

Hu Zhenhua was very surprised to see these two white devils in the middle of the night and laughed.

"My friends, why are you here?"

While hugging them, Lao Hu was thinking very fast.

It is definitely not a coincidence that these two guys appear here in the middle of the night. Something sudden must have happened.
