Rebirth 78 was replaced by a husband, the cold educated youth pulled the curtains every day

Ma Gan's words touched Zhao Xiaolong somewhat.

But they were all from poor families, and the straw and the torn pants were the pillars of their families.

Zhao Xiaolong didn't want Ma Gan and Po Ku Zi to take risks with him, so he directly rejected their kindness.

"I appreciate your kindness."

"I'm not going to see Liu Li to fight him, so don't worry."

"If I can talk to him, I'll talk to him and see what he's up to."

"If we can't talk, I won't confront him head-on. If I can't beat him, can I still outrun him?"

Zhao Xiaolong smiled and waved to a few people.

"Everyone go back, I'm leaving first."

After saying that, Zhao Xiaolong walked into the flowing crowd and soon disappeared.

Ma Gan and Ripped Pants looked at Tian Yu.

"I really didn't say anything else to Liu Li, you believe me." Tian Yu's face was full of anxiety.

On a bus heading to the provincial capital, Lu Ye sat on a chair with a large canvas bag under his feet.

There was no air conditioning on the old-fashioned bus, and the windows were only half-open, so the wind was the only thing that could relieve the intense heat inside the bus.

Lu Ye's ears were filled with the noise of the wind. He wanted to take a nap, but the noise kept him awake.

I could only cross my arms and look at the scenery outside the window boredly.

The bus set off at 7 a.m. for a journey of more than 300 kilometers, but did not arrive in the provincial capital, Binjiang City, until 3 p.m.

Carrying his body that was about to fall apart, Lu Ye carried a canvas bag and walked out of the gate of Binjiang City Hongdao Bus Station in the glaring sunlight.

The crowds of people dispersed after going out.

Lu Ye stopped and looked at the large square outside the station, which seemed both strange and familiar.

In his previous life, it was on this land that he eventually became the richest man in the province with a net worth of tens of billions.

After being reborn, he set foot on this land nearly ten years earlier.

"Where are you going? Brother, are you staying at a hotel?"

Such a friendly voice, it can be said to be a major feature of the area near Binjiang Railway Station.

Lu Ye looked over when he heard the sound and saw a man in his forties holding a paper box the size of a palm with two words written in black on it: Hotel.

"We don't need a letter of introduction, and the price is cheap."

The big brother winked and nodded his chin twice at Lu Ye.

"No, thank you." Lu Ye carried the bag and turned to leave.

He didn't expect that there were people soliciting customers at the door so early.

There were many buildings around that made Lu Ye feel unfamiliar, but the roads were still the same roads and were not difficult to distinguish.

Lu Ye carried the bag and walked north along Zhanqian Road. Not long after, he arrived at Museum Street.

There is an overpass not far in front of the museum. It used to be a very lively free market.

Later it was banned during a special period.

However, there are still some scattered people gathering here and exchanging things they need with each other.

It was not until the reform and opening up that this place spontaneously returned to being a free market and even became one of the most famous markets in the area.

In the 90s, the local economy was developed and this place was replanned and rebuilt, and it became a very famous wholesale center in later generations.

The reason why Lu Ye came here was because there were many powerful traffickers here, selling everything from refrigerators and color TVs to pots and pans.

And in Lu Ye's canvas bag was his new way to make money.

Under the overpass, some people gathered together to play chess.

Some people gathered in groups of three or five to chat, and some even played the erhu, making it very lively.

Lu Ye walked under the overpass carrying the bag and soon attracted a lot of people's attention.

There were many people looking at him, but no one talked to him.

Everyone looked up at him a few times, then lowered their heads and continued doing their own things.

Lu Ye was not in a hurry. He came to the underpass and found a place to stand against the wall.

After standing for a while and observing the surrounding environment clearly, Lu Ye pulled the canvas bag to his chest and then unzipped it.

He pulled out a whole carton of Phoenix cigarettes.

Lu Ye started to dismantle it in the street.

He took out a yellow cigarette box and tore it open, then Lu Ye just smoked it by himself.

His action quickly attracted the attention of many people around him.

Two people looked around and then walked straight towards Lu Ye.

Coming up to Lu Ye, one of them whispered, "Brother, can I have a cigarette?"

Lu Ye was not stingy and directly handed over the cigarettes he had just opened.

The man took the cigarette box and looked at it: "Wow, Phoenix brand, good cigarettes."

After saying that, the two of them each took out a cigarette and started smoking immediately.

There is a golden phoenix printed on the box of Phoenix brand cigarettes. The cigarettes have a rich and mellow flavor and are preferred by many people.

But it is often out of stock, and many people cannot buy it even at a higher price.

So some people started to specialize in reselling cigarettes. They would buy all the cigarettes from the supply and marketing cooperatives at a low price, and then resell them at a higher price.

In this era, tobacco control is not very strict, and there are even no restrictions on smoking cigarettes in other places.

The supply of tobacco is still being rationed.

This results in the same type of cigarette being sold at completely different prices in different cities or regions.

Sometimes the price difference can even be as high as one or two times.

In his previous life, Lu Ye had smoked cigarettes a few times and tasted a little sweetness.

When he wanted to make a big move, he found that there were too many competitors. Not only was there a situation of too many people and too little resources, but some people even maliciously raised prices, making the profits thinner and thinner.

Lu Ye finally had no choice but to withdraw from the reverse cigarette market.

But this time, the resale of cigarettes had not yet become popular, and the cigarette dealers in the provincial capital only dared to resell in a small area.

Lu Ye has no intention of letting go of such an opportunity to make money.

"This Phoenix cigarette smells so good."

"Dude, are you planning to change this cigarette?"

The man was smoking a cigarette and trying to look into Lu Ye's canvas bag, but unfortunately it was sealed with a zipper and he couldn't see anything.

"I only exchange money." Lu Ye said in a low voice.

"That's easy. You name a price and I'll take care of the rest." The man said readily.

Lu Ye shook his head and glanced at the other person not far away, his eyes fixed on him.

"I have a large quantity, so I'd better let the person behind you who can make the decision come and talk to me."

Upon hearing this, the man's smiling face froze obviously.

Then he looked Lu Ye up and down, and said, "Brother, you look unfamiliar."

"Stop asking questions, I'm not a greenhorn." Lu Ye replied directly in a crisp voice.

The man looked at Lu Ye, then turned to look at the boss not far away, and made a few gestures that only they could understand.

"Then I have to take a look at the goods first." After receiving the order, the man said to Lu Ye.

Lu Ye didn't say anything, but directly opened the zipper of the canvas bag, revealing dozens of cigarettes inside.

There are many colorful brands.

After taking a look at the man, Lu Ye quickly closed the canvas bag.

Although it was just a quick glance, the man was able to see clearly what was inside the canvas bag.

"Brother, you have a lot of good stuff." The man smiled and made a gesture to the back.

Seeing this gesture, the boss in the distance walked over with confidence.
