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

Lu Ye looked at the person who came carefully.

He was in his thirties, with a long scar on his left cheek, and the scar from the sutures made it look like a giant centipede was lying on his face.

Ugly and horrifying.

The man was wearing a pure cotton half-sleeve shirt and had a dragon tattoo on his left arm.

"Brother Kai."

The man who had spoken to Lu Ye earlier handed the pack of cigarettes in his hand to the man called Brother Kai.

Brother Kai looked at the cigarette in his hand, then looked at Lu Ye with a smile.

It would have been fine if he didn't smile, but when he smiled, the scar on his face moved, which made him even more terrifying.

Brother Kai, scarface, cigarette dealer.

If I remember correctly, this person should be Brother Kai, nicknamed Scar Kai.

In his previous life, Lu Yedaoyan had heard of Scar Kai's name, who was the big brother in this industry, but he had only heard of him and had never seen him in person.

"Young man, you look unfamiliar." Brother Kai said the same thing as the man as soon as he opened his mouth.

"You may feel unfamiliar with his face the first time, but you will feel familiar with him the second time." Lu Ye was calm and composed, without any cautious look of a novice.

"That's true."

"Brother, do you have a cigarette?"

"Yes, a lot. I don't know if you can eat it all."

"Big deals, I like big deals."

When Brother Kai heard this, he started laughing again.

"There are too many people here. There is a pavilion in front. Can we go in and talk for a while?" Brother Kai suggested.

"Don't go."

Lu Ye directly rejected Brother Kai's proposal.

Lu Ye knew the pavilion that Brother Kai mentioned. It was in a small park nearby. Although it was not far away, it was a bit remote and few people went there.

Although it makes it convenient for them to speak, it also makes it convenient for them to take action if they have bad intentions.

Lu Ye had heard of such cases before.

He wouldn't take the chance.

"Brother, you are worried about us. It's okay. Why don't you tell me a place and I will go with you." Brother Kai said with a smile.

"The museum opposite, the bench at the entrance." Lu Ye immediately said a place.

The museum is free, but there are usually visiting hours. There are two rows of benches in front of the door, which are specially used for visitors to rest while waiting. There are usually not many people there.

"No problem, let's go there."

Brother Kai looked back at the museum not far away and agreed immediately.

"Let's just go by the two of us." Lu Ye said again.

"What the hell are you doing?"

The man who had spoken to Lu Ye earlier became displeased instantly when he heard that Lu Ye was going alone with Brother Kai, and whispered to Lu Ye.

"Otherwise, forget it."

Lu Ye didn't force him and made a gesture to leave.

"Wait..." Brother Kai called out to Lu Ye, then said to the other two, "You stay here, I'll go talk to this little brother over there."

"Brother Kai!" the man shouted anxiously.

"fine."

Brother Kai waved his hand and then followed Lu Ye towards the museum.

There was no one outside the museum, and no one was sitting on the two rows of benches.

Lu Ye took off the canvas bag and sat directly in the second row.

Brother Kai then sat next to Lu Ye.

"This place is nice. You are good at choosing places, little brother." Brother Kai looked around. Except for the pedestrians on the street in the distance, there was no one around.

"Can I see your goods?"

"of course."

Lu Ye opened the bag again and showed the cigarettes inside.

Pegasus, Peony, Phoenix, Daqianmen, Red Plum, and filter-free Hongtashan wrapped in beige paper...

There are several brands of cigarettes, among which Hongtashan and Phoenix are the most popular, followed by Hongmei.

Brother Kai reached into his canvas bag and casually took out a peony.

He casually recited a jingle: "Commune cadres smoke aluminum packets, brigade cadres like to float on water, production team leaders love jade cats, and ordinary members smoke white paper packets."

Lu Ye had also heard this rhyme.

The general meaning is that the cadres of the commune all smoked more expensive cigarettes wrapped in aluminum foil, such as Peony and Crossing the River, which cost more than 35 cents.

The cadres of the brigade pumped water and floated it, and the price was 27 cents per bag, which was considered average.

The production team leader smoked Yumao cigarettes that cost 1.8 cents.

The lower class people could only smoke self-rolled tobacco that didn't even have a brand name.

Although it seems like a joke, it aptly illustrates the class gap, which still exists even in this era.

"These cigarettes are good. I won't cheat you. We charge 9 yuan a pack for Phoenix, 6 yuan for Hongmei, and 5 yuan for Hongtashan without a filter..." Brother Kai put the cigarettes back into the bag and whispered a price to Lu Ye.

陆野细细地听着，凤凰他是6块9每条买的，红梅是4块7，没过滤嘴的红塔山是3块3。

According to Brother Kai's quotation, the average price difference for each piece is about 1 to 2 yuan.

This price difference is much lower than Lu Ye's psychological expectations.

In this era, cigarette pricing varies greatly from region to region, and when combined with the black market markup, the purchase price is clearly too low.

Lu Ye's mouth curled up slightly: "We'll talk about the price later. These are just samples I brought."

Ok?

When Brother Kai heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Selling dozens of cigarettes at a time is already a good deal for Brother Kai and his friends.

Unexpectedly, these are just samples.

"I feel a little bit." Brother Kai licked his lips and became more energetic.

"Brother, how much stock do you have?"

"That depends on how much you can eat. I want to do a long-term business. If you don't have some strength, then we shouldn't talk about it."

Lu Ye spoke in a rather arrogant tone, yet he was remarkably calm, making it difficult for Brother Kai to tell just how powerful this young man was.

After a brief thought, Brother Kai picked up three types of cigarettes: Phoenix, Hongtashan and Hongmei.

Then he stretched out a finger with his right hand and whispered, "Can you afford this amount per week for each of these three?"

One finger represents one hundred.

This amount is pretty good.

However, Lu Ye still pretended to think it was too little: "Only one hundred for each?"

Seeing that Lu Ye thought the amount was too little, Brother Kai knew that he had met a wealthy man, so he hurriedly said, "Brother, you have to eat one bite at a time. This amount is small now, but you have to let me test the waters first. I promise that I will ask for more later. Let's take it slow and steady."

“That makes some sense.”

"One hundred of each kind every week, no problem."

"Then I'll give you another chance. Give me a new price. If you still treat me as an outsider, I'll find someone else."

Lu Ye’s words made Brother Kai blush.

He had indeed just given Lu Ye a low price.

"Haha... Don't be offended, brother. It's all my fault."

"So, Phoenix is ​​11 yuan per bottle, Hongmei is 7 yuan, and Hongtashan without a filter is 6 yuan. Don't worry, this is the highest in the industry. Besides, I have to eat, so you have to let me make some money, right?"

"That's about right." Lu Ye said with a smile.
