Rebirth in 1980, the rise of the golden age

In an alley outside the supply and marketing cooperative.

A group of six ticket scalpers who specialized in reselling tickets were waiting anxiously.

"Here it comes! Here it comes!" someone shouted softly, pointing at the intersection.

Li Youcai, along with Wang Qiang and a group of brothers from the forest farm, walked over quickly.

When everyone saw Li Youcai, they all showed excited smiles on their faces.

"Brother Cai!"

"Brother Cai~!"

······

"How is it? Have you finished all the tasks assigned to you?" Li Youcai asked.

"They're all here!"

Everyone unbuttoned their coats, revealing the cloth pockets hidden inside.

"Brother Cai, as you instructed, we collected all the sugar and milk powder tickets from all the ticket vendors in Teng County. They're all here."

"Are you sure you are all here?" Li Youcai asked.

"Sure! There are only so many people scalping tickets in the entire Teng County. We all know each other. You said you wanted all of them, so how could we dare to miss any? They're all here."

"There really isn't any left out there. Our people have been collecting for a week straight, and we've even checked every brigade down there. Unless the people over there print their own, they'll never find more than two kilograms of sugar or milk powder coupons on the market!"

"If you hadn't told us to continue giving tickets to that bald guy, he would have been shut down long ago!"

Those ticket scalpers gave Li Youcai a solemn promise.

"Well done!"

Li Youcai reached into his pocket and took out three stacks of banknotes.

"Here's three thousand yuan. Divide it among yourselves. The extra money will be considered a bonus for the brothers."

Seeing the money, the ticket scalpers' eyes turned red.

On weekdays, they could only earn three to five yuan at most from selling tickets in a day, and could only earn a little over a hundred yuan in a month.

This is a great unity of the three countries.

These ticket scalpers have never seen so much money.

"Thank you, Brother Cai!"

"Thank you, Brother Cai!"

······

The ticket scalpers were all extremely excited, thinking to themselves that this was a great job. Each of them could get 500 yuan, and after deducting the money they gave to their subordinates, each of them could still have at least 100 or 200 yuan left.

"I'll give you the money, but there's one thing I hate: two-faced people. If anyone dares to sell tickets to Baldy Chen and his gang behind my back, I won't mind paying an extra three thousand yuan to buy off his hands!"

Li Youcai's words rang out again, so eerie that they made the ticket scalpers shudder all over.

"Brother Cai, we definitely wouldn't dare. If you say you won't give him the ticket, we won't even give him a piece of paper!"

"Yeah yeah!"

"Brother Cai, we are all on your side."

······

The ticket scalpers all nodded and kept making promises.

Li Youcai waved his hand, and Wang Qiang stepped forward and collected all the sugar and milk powder tickets.

Bundles of sugar and milk powder coupons tied with rubber bands were all put into Wang Qiang's pocket.

"Brother Cai, take care!"

Seeing Li Youcai and his men leave, these ticket scalpers began to divide the money impatiently.

In the factory.

Du Yong and his wife had just made a pot of ice cream and were cleaning the pot and preparing to take a break.

The workshop door opened and Li Youcai walked in with his men.

Seeing his elder brother with Wang Qiang and a few strangers, Li Youjie went over to greet them.

"elder brother."

"Ah."

Li Youcai nodded at Li Youjie and then shouted, "Everyone, stop!"

Zhang Laoer and his companions stopped what they were doing and looked at Li Youcai, who had a sullen expression.

The atmosphere in the workshop was a little tense for a while.

Li Youcai said with a cold face, "The factory has been having a hard time lately. Everyone knows what's going on. Another ice cream maker has appeared outside and is competing with us for business."

Li Youcai raised his hand, and Wang Qiang put a piece of ice cream made by Chen Tuzi and others in his hand.

"Their ice cream is made exactly the same as ours. Can anyone explain to me why?" Li Youcai's eyes swept across the faces of several people.

It finally settled on Du Yong.

"That's because someone here sold the ice cream recipe I taught you to someone else!" Li Youcai snorted coldly.

Zhang Laoer was stunned for two seconds after hearing this, and said in disbelief, "No way? We are all fellow villagers living in the front and back yards. Who would do such a thing? Youcai, could it be that you are mistaken?"

Seeing that his elder brother had begun to show his hand, Li Youjie, who had been holding it in for so long, no longer pretended.

He immediately said, "Brother Zhang, my eldest brother is right. I know about this too, and I also know who betrayed us!"

After finishing speaking, Li Youjie's eyes were like fire as he glared at Du Yong and his wife.

Seeing the couple, I felt so nervous that I didn't dare to look up.

Zhang Laoer turned his head in disbelief and looked at the other families, muttering involuntarily, "Who is it?"

At this moment, Du Yong's wife's legs began to shake. She grabbed Du Yong's arm and was scared like a quail.

The thing they feared most happened.

Li Youcai continued, "For so long, I've been waiting for you to stand up and tell me that you were forced into it and didn't do it on purpose! For the sake of our fellow villagers, I could forgive you, but you didn't!"

"Not only did you sell them the formula, you also acted as their spies!"

"Brother Du, sister-in-law, I gave you a job, how could you two be so cruel as to want to destroy everyone's job!"

Li Youcai did not tolerate it and pointed out on the spot that Du Yong and his wife were spies.

He did this to let Zhang Laoer and the others know clearly that it was not that he, Li Youcai, was heartless, but that Du Yong and his wife were too unkind.

If this matter spreads within the brigade in the future, it will be the couple who will be criticized, not Li Youcai.

Is it Du Yong and his wife?

Not only Zhang Laoer, but several other people also looked at the couple with disbelief.

At this moment, Du Yong's face was very red and his heart was pounding so hard that it was about to jump out of his throat.

"Those people forced us to do it! They intercepted us halfway. If we didn't tell them, they would beat us!" Du Yong whispered.

Li Youjie's face was filled with anger as he yelled, "You're lying! This past week, you've been meeting those people every night after get off work. I've been following you and seeing it all clearly!"

"Can they still force you every day? Didn't my eldest brother reimburse your car expenses? You insisted on going alone instead of taking the car. If this wasn't an agreement, what was it?"

After hearing this, Zhang Laoer and the others finally understood. They used to think that Du Yong and his wife were just too stingy and were trying to save money.

It turned out that he deliberately didn't go with them so that he could go and tell others the news.

Zhang Laoer and his wife and the other family moved their feet, subconsciously moving a little further away from Du Yong and his wife.

No one wants to be with a guy who is nice to people in front of them but does evil things behind their backs.

"Du Yong, you two are quite mean!"

"That's right, they pay you a salary, and you sell their recipe. Isn't that betraying them?"

"If the factory goes bankrupt, everyone's job will be gone! He eats steamed buns and pickles with us every day, but he's so hypocritical. I didn't expect him to have such evil intentions!"

When Du Yong and his wife heard these words, they felt extremely embarrassed.

"Get out, you are fired!" said Li Youcai.

Du Yong's wife raised her head and whispered, "What about our wages?"

Upon hearing this, Li Youjie flew into a rage: "You still want your wages? How much money have you caused us to lose? It's already good enough that we didn't have to pay you! Get out of here!"

Li Youcai was too lazy to continue talking nonsense and whispered to the brothers behind him: "Throw them out."

Upon hearing this, the two brothers from the forest farm grabbed Du Yong and his wife by the scruff of their necks and dragged them out of the workshop.

Li Youcai is not a good man. Although he doesn't need the salary of a few dozen yuan, he will never encourage this kind of betrayal culture.

The reason why I didn't beat the couple was simply because I didn't want Zhang Laoer and the others to feel miserable.

Drive away Du Yong and his wife.

Li Youcai took out another small stack of money.

"New Year's Day is just a week away, so I'm going to settle everyone's salary for this month. As agreed upon earlier, the base salary is 36 yuan, with bonuses calculated separately."

"Everyone has worked hard this month. Each person will receive a 50 yuan bonus for their work."

Li Youcai counted out five big unity cards and handed them to Zhang Laoer: "Here."

so much!

It was indeed mentioned before that there would be a bonus, but I didn’t expect Li Youcai to give so much.

"Starting tomorrow, we're going to increase production. Everyone, be prepared to endure hardships and work hard. As long as you work hard, our bonuses will double next month!"
