Rebirth in 1980, the rise of the golden age

For 6 consecutive days.

Wang Qiang's group of brothers would rush to the factory early every day to buy all the ice cream and transport it back to their base.

Then go to Chen Tuzi to purchase goods.

A truck would be sent every two days to secretly transport the ice cream to Taihe City.

Since the ice cream factory couldn't get any goods, the peddlers in Teng County could only go to Chen Tuzi to buy the goods. At first, Chen Tuzi didn't think much of it.

But by the time Baldy Chen came to his senses and started reducing production, it was too late. He had lost a lot of money without realizing it.

In the adobe house, Baldy Chen and a group of brothers were holding a small meeting.

"This Li guy is so damn cunning. He's trying to play dirty with me, deliberately reducing production to force these peddlers to buy from me. He wants to kill me? Grandma!"

"Starting tomorrow, we will only buy 600 pieces of ice cream a day and force those peddlers to go back!" said Baldy Chen.

"Brother, let's raise the price. We brothers can't take it anymore! If this continues for a few more days, and Mr. Li doesn't go bankrupt, we will be left with nothing!" The brother's eyes were dark. None of them had slept well these days.

In order to grab the ice cream market, all of them put out their entire fortunes.

For such a long time, these people have been working hard to make ice cream, but they haven't made a penny. They are very tired, and the most important thing is that they have lost a lot of money.

This made everyone feel very depressed and they kept complaining.

Some people have even started to back out and want to withdraw their shares.

"Price increase?"

"The price war has been going on until now. If we raise the price, Mr. Li will definitely follow suit, and then everything we have done before will be in vain!" roared Chen Baldy.

The current situation is like two people strangling each other.

Everyone was holding their breath, and now everyone's face was red. It all depended on who couldn't hold on any longer, and whoever couldn't would die.

Those who survive will enjoy all the fruits of victory.

He couldn't accept Chen Tuzi giving up just like that.

"How much money do we have left?" asked Baldy Chen.

"More than 400 yuan, this is the money we got from selling the ice cream today, and the raw materials for tomorrow haven't been received yet. If this continues, we will run out of food in less than 4 days!" The second brother is in charge of the money. Looking at the dwindling funds, it feels like flesh is being cut from his body.

One of the brothers cried miserably, "Brother, why don't we make peace with the Li guys? We're both losing ground now. If this continues, we'll all perish together."

Baldy Chen bared his teeth and said viciously, "Make peace! Have you lost your mind? The ice cream market is so huge, and Mr. Li can profit from it, so why can't we? Now we're on the verge of killing him, and you're talking about making peace now? He won't agree even if I promise!"

"Hold on a little longer! They only bought two buckets of fresh milk today, which is only enough to make 200 ice cream bars at most. They're out of money! We're sure to win!"

Baldy Chen was almost crazy at this moment, his mind full of fantasies that Mr. Li would go bankrupt tomorrow so that he could dominate the entire ice cream market.

The brothers below looked at each other, and everyone could see reluctance on each other's faces.

They have suffered enough of this kind of torture during this period.

One person in the crowd couldn't help but stand up and said, "Brother, I want to withdraw my shares. I invested 300 yuan at the time, and I'm not asking you to give it all to me. Just give me yuan, and I'll quit."

Quit?

Baldy Chen's eyes were as big as a bull's, and he looked like he wanted to eat someone.

"Fourth Brother, I treat you well on a daily basis, right? You want to withdraw your shares now. Do you want to watch me get killed by that guy named Li?" Baldy Chen shouted angrily.

The fourth brother also looked aggrieved. Originally, everyone gathered together to make money.

But ever since this ice cream business started, everyone seems to have fallen into a quagmire, not only not making any money but also suffering.

"Brother, you know the situation of my family. I really can't hold on any longer. I won't play anymore no matter what you say today. I don't care whether you continue or not. I will go back to being a peddler and earn every penny I can." The fourth brother lowered his head and said very firmly.

When Chen Tuzi heard what the fourth brother said, his teeth were almost broken.

"Three days! Fourth Brother, give me three more days. No matter what happens in the end, I will find a way to return the 300 yuan you invested."

"But remember one thing, Fourth Brother. From now on, we are no longer brothers. No matter whether we make a profit or a loss in the future, it has nothing to do with you." Baldy Chen said word by word with red eyes.

The other brothers in the room were listening, and some felt sorry for the severance of the brotherhood between Chen Tuzi and Lao Si.

Some people also want to be like the fourth brother and get out of this quagmire unscathed.

Baldy Chen glanced at his brothers and said with some sadness, "There was a drought in 76, and our brigade suffered a food shortage. Every household had no food to eat. I brought everyone out to make a living. In the past few years, we've all made some money, which shows that my role as the eldest brother was not in vain."

"That year we were chased by the police. I lured them away and saved you. I spent a year in prison."

"I've had enough of hiding from people."

"You were poor before because you didn't have a skill that could make you a lot of money. Now we have one. Are you still willing to live like that?"

"Anyway, I'm unwilling to accept it."

"Believe me, if we work together to destroy the ice cream factory and monopolize this business, we can make a lot of money together!"

Chen Tuzi spoke with such sincerity that many people at the scene were moved.

These people have suffered together, and when they recall the past, they are still very grateful to Baldy Chen.

Several people were moved by Baldy Chen's words and started shouting on the spot:

"Brother, we will listen to you. At worst, we can start over again."

"I just don't believe that Mr. Li would print money. Now that things have come to this, I think I should just go all the way and fight Mr. Li!"

"Yes, fight him!"

These brothers shouted so loudly that they suppressed the voices of those who also wanted to withdraw their shares, and no one dared to speak up to say they wanted to withdraw their shares.

However, little did they know that what awaited them was not a bright future, but a complete loss of all their money.

The next day, the brothers from the forest farm did not go to the factory to transport ice cream. Instead, they went straight to Chen Tuzi early and bought Chen Tuzi's 600 yuan worth of ice cream first, directly clearing out all the goods in Chen Tuzi's hands.

Li Youcai and Wang Qiang looked at the goods brought back by their brothers.

"This Baldy Chen is really good. He has been serving us as free labor for such a long time. I am almost tempted to award him a medal for best worker." Li Youcai said with a sneer.

Wang Qiang heard this and said, "Brother Cai, this old guy has reduced the quantity again. There is only this much. Taihe City wants a lot of goods now. Do you want the factory to produce more?"

Li Youcai nodded: "It's time for the Du family to clean up. They've been playing around for so long, it's time for the real thing to show its true colors!"
