To get rich quickly, you need to be simple and rough
Chapter 47 The Landlord Has No Surplus Food 10
How could Li Wenting let his father go out to buy things by himself? He hurriedly took the family's income for the day and went out to buy things.
Li Wenting was walking on the streets of the mountain city. The hawkers' cries rose and fell in the fog. "Sir, look at this mustard head. It's fat and crispy. It's very delicious for making pickled mustard greens."
Li Wenting saw that the mustard greens were indeed plump and tender, so he squatted down and asked the vendor the price. "How much is this vegetable per pound?"
The vendor said, "If you buy more than 1.8 yuan per kilogram, you can get a lower price."
After some bargaining, Li Wenting bought all the mustard greens from the vendor at 1 yuan per catty. The vendor happily carried the load on his shoulder and delivered the goods to the Li family.
Prices are rising rapidly these days. The day before yesterday, rice was only 2.3 yuan per jin, but yesterday it was 2.5 yuan per jin. I don't know what it will be like today. Sell it quickly, maybe you can buy an extra jin of rice.
Li Wenting went around and bought some ingredients for his family's business the next day.
Now the Li family's business can only make enough money to eat, drink and wear. Even professors from National Tsing Hua University have to sell calligraphy and paintings. You can imagine how bad the economy is.
Fiat currency is like a wild horse that has run away from its reins and is about to devour people. In a few years, this thing will be like waste paper.
The newspaper where Li Wenting works is half-dead and can hardly pay salaries. They only pay one hundred French francs a month. What can such a small amount of money do? Some editors can only submit the same manuscript to multiple newspapers to make a living.
Editors like Li Wenting who are good at foreign languages take on some translation work to supplement their family income. There are too many immigrants in the mountain city, and there are too many people to find many jobs that can support their families.
Feng Aizhen now only earns 260 yuan in French francs a month. If she relies on this to support her family, she will starve to death.
Only an organization like my cousin's, which manages money, can barely survive with subsidies for affordable supplies.
But my eldest cousin has some gray income, or else he would have earned 100,000 silver coins in three years as a magistrate. My eldest cousin's boss takes the lion's share, and they take the smaller share, and everyone knows the profit distribution.
Li Wenting started living in a small apartment in the mountain city again. He did not expect to make money by translating manuscripts. If the company wanted to go, he would take a look. If they did not want to go, he would stay at home. Now the company no longer pays salaries, but only calculates payment according to the number of submissions, and the money is pitifully little.
Li Wenting now helps his parents with their daily chores, helps his wife look after the children, and buys food, clothing, and other necessities for his parents, wife, and children.
He lived a very carefree life and completely forgot what he had done in the Japanese devils' house.
The Japanese devils have never suffered such a heavy loss since they launched the war of aggression. After investigating these things over and over again, they put the blame on the Americans. There is no way around it. The losses are too great and the responsibility is too great. Someone has to take the blame.
After all the calculations, only the Eagle Sauce's head is suitable to take the blame. The ruthless Japanese made a decision: to strike first, the strong will come, and to strike later, the disaster will come. They attacked Eagle Sauce's Pearl Harbor.
On December 7, 1941, the Japanese navy launched a surprise attack on the Americans, bombing warships and military targets at Pearl Harbor. Over 350 Japanese aircraft launched two waves of attacks on the Pearl Harbor naval base, dropping armor-piercing bombs and firing torpedoes at the Americans' battleships and cruisers. Unprepared, the Americans awoke to the roar of the explosions and scrambled to defend themselves. The preemptive strike was over within 90 minutes, during which time the Japanese had sunk four battleships and two destroyers, destroyed 188 aircraft, and damaged many more buildings, ships, and aircraft. Approximately 2400 Americans were killed in the attack; another 1250 were injured.
The loss suffered by the Americans was so great that they were forced to declare war on Japan in Congress the next day.
This is good for China. If Japan and the United States fight each other, China will have a chance to breathe and the pressure will be less.
The year 1945 came to an end as the eight-year war against the Japanese invaders was finally drawing to a close. On August 15, Japan signed the instrument of surrender, and my eldest cousin, who had done well, became a high-ranking official in charge of the country.
As soon as they got this lucrative job, the clan prepared to return home. Li Fugui was eager to go back as well, but Li Wenting hurriedly stopped his cousin because he was being coveted by others and his target was too big. If anything unexpected happened in the future, his family would be the one to suffer.
Li Fugui had grown up over the years. Large families often bet on both sides. The Li family also bet on the Red Party. Sixth cousin's son Yaohui was in the Red Party. I heard he was doing pretty well.
Li Fugui sipped his wine and picked up a piece of cold-boiled pig's ear. "Wenting, are you saying that the Red Party will ultimately rule the country? But with the support of the Eagle Sauce, can the Red Party defeat the Blue Party?"
Li Wenting: "Just look at what this legal tender can buy this year. One hundred yuan can only buy a fish this year. The fish cannot be big. Otherwise, 100 yuan will not be enough. If the Blue Party continues to hold on to power, we will all be left with nothing. The Blue Party has already lost the support of the people."
Li Fugui understood his son's intentions. Following the eldest wife would definitely lead to his downfall. Li Fugui didn't want to flee overseas in his old age. He couldn't speak any foreign languages, so he would be like a blind man.
Li Fugui did not follow his eldest wife back to her hometown, but sold his house in the mountain city and returned to the Magic City.
The house in the Li family concession had been rented out for eight years, and they had only received a one-time rent for the first five years. Later, the communication between the Magic City and the Mountain City was cut off, and they did not receive the rent for the last three years.
The tenants had originally thought they could get a bargain, thinking the city had been bombed so badly that the Li family might not be able to return, and they could live there for free. However, they never expected the Li family to return with everything intact, so they had no choice but to pay three years' rent and move out.
Li Fugui looked at the house he had spent a huge amount of money on and couldn't help but miss the big yard in his hometown, the yard full of livestock and poultry, and the mountain of wheat in the grain storage. That was what life was like. This cramped house was really getting more and more annoying the more he looked at it.
Li Fugui "Dad Wenting still wants to farm. Dad doesn't want to stay in this Demon City anymore. If we don't want to farm, just buy him two more acres of land. Our family is not short of money. When the situation stabilizes, you can buy him a piece of land to farm. Dad is not picky about the place as long as he can farm."
Li Wenting originally wanted to move his family to Hong Kong Island to get rid of the problem once and for all, but seeing that his father was reluctant to leave his hometown, he gave up the idea.
Li Wenting began to make plans to stay. He thought that buying two acres of land would be fine, but he must not be forced to farm, as he really hated farming.
In addition, we have to find a way to launch a surprise attack on the foreign exchange collected in the space. If we keep the money in our hands, it will be dead money. We have to find a way to make it earn money. Even if the son calls us father, we have to leave some family property to our descendants.
Li Wenting flew to the United States and bought some high-quality stocks. He set up a company to manage the earnings from these shares. Salaries were paid from the earnings and annual profits. The annual salary increase, including the dividend distribution model, was documented and signed by a lawyer.
Li Wenting spent a year in the United States, determined the company's investment direction, found a reliable professional manager, and gave the manager a loyalty talisman. Only then did he return to China with peace of mind.
