To get rich quickly, you need to be simple and rough
Chapter 539 4 Courtyard I am a bully who I am afraid of 69
This year was extremely exciting. The He family seemed to have opened up a new world. Doing business these days was like picking up money.
The city is still relatively conservative and usually keeps things secret and does small things. However, it is different in the south. Many people have already imported radios and other things from Hong Kong Island and brought them back to sell.
The He and Chen families were among the first wave of people to try something new, and He Yuzhu's brother-in-law was a very brave man.
The wife of the factory director of our company bought a tape recorder, and word started to spread that it was a Hong Kong product that was both easy to use and cheap.
This made him think, he knew that he could definitely get the Hong Kong goods in Pengcheng. He would definitely make a lot of money by reselling them this time.
This is the case of the one who is close to the water gets the first chance. The Moon Cannery has business in Pengcheng. After all, the anchovies there are still good for canning.
He used his connections to go to Pengcheng to purchase anchovies and he also brought his brother-in-law along to make a fortune!
He Yuzhu couldn't stand the word "get rich" anymore. The two of them pooled their money at home and each took out 3,000 yuan as capital, then started their journey south on the cannery's truck.
These two are also able to endure hardships. The road conditions at that time were really bad. They were hungry less than two hours after eating in the morning.
He Yuzhu took out the homemade pancakes from his bag, and the two of them ate pickled radish strips while chatting with the driver about everything under the sun.
It took five days to reach Pengcheng. The driver went to the fishing village to get dried anchovies, and He Yuzhu and his friends went to Luohu.
In broad daylight, people in large vests and palm-leaf fans were touting their services: "Look, handsome boy! We've got the new best stuff! We have everything! Bulk and cheap!"
He Yuzhu, a tall and strong man, dared to speak: "What are the items? How much are they?"
The guy fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan saw that there was business and looked around cautiously: "Follow me! These are all good stuff!"
Then He Yuzhu and the other man followed this guy around and around until they came to a yard. This guy opened a room filled with imported goods.
There were tape recorders, radios, televisions, watches, perfumes, lipsticks, stockings, scarves, and everything in between.
The prices were also quite affordable. The two of them didn't dare to take too many large items, and only bought valuable items such as watches and televisions.
Watching color TVs has long been popular in Hong Kong Island, and black and white TVs are as cheap as cabbage.
I don’t know where this group of people got so many black and white TVs, ranging from 9 inches to 17 inches.
The wholesale price of a 9-inch TV is only 70 yuan, and a 17-inch TV costs 280 yuan. These prices are really low.
The goods that these people brought back from Hong Kong Island by rowing their small boats were piled up in their own houses.
This kind of business is done in every village here. Clans are still the mainstream here because the people don't report it and the officials don't investigate it.
Almost everyone in the village has the same surname, and even after so many years of movement, the ancestral halls are still preserved. So the families are united in doing this kind of business and they are very united.
The prices are almost uniform. There are people who do transportation, contact customers, keep watch, and deliver the goods.
Sha Zhu and his friend each took thirty 9-inch televisions, and the rest all took beautiful watches.
This thing is a hot commodity in Beijing, and it can be sold at a good price. The slipper man quickly calculated the bill, and He Yuzhu and the other man only had fifteen yuan left.
These guys will directly find a truck to load the goods. Of course, they can't provide you with free service. They will just charge two dollars to deliver the goods to the agreed location.
Here, the dried anchovies were loaded onto a truck and hidden under a pile of dried fish. Of course, the driver wasn't idle either, having also loaded a few boxes of dried anchovies and hidden them in the truck.
Drivers are definitely in high demand at this time. When traveling on business, they can often get some local specialties and sell them at a high price.
These were the first batch of profiteers, and the first to become wealthy. It was Chen's father who had been deeply entrenched in the cannery over the years, later rising to the position of deputy director, who no one dared to mess with. Otherwise, how could such a lucrative position have even been theirs?
He was very scared along the way. After all, the things on the truck were valuable. He Yuzhu was really afraid that some bandits would come out and intercept the goods.
But Shazhu was a bit overthinking. No one wanted this fish that smelled so bad. It was not very oily and wasted oil!
Who has the resources of a cannery to fry these small dried fish in oil until crispy and then can them with lots of seasonings? Ordinary people only have a few kilograms of oil to eat per month.
We can’t even make ends meet if we use all the money to fry fish, so canned food is a luxury at this time. Who would be willing to eat this when they are well?
They only buy canned food during the Chinese New Year and other festivals when visiting relatives or the sick, and when they take it out, it looks similar to the Cordyceps and bird's nests we see in later generations.
He Yuzhu and his brother-in-law ate flatbread and pickles all the way back to Sijiu City. After delivering the goods home, the two of them started running around without taking a break.
This is the advantage of being a hutong hanger-on: you know exactly which area has the rich people.
At that time, televisions were absolutely rare. If a family had one, the neighbors would stay up all night to gather around their house.
He Yuzhu and his friends’ TVs are only 350 yuan each and no tickets are required. This is really attractive.
He Yuzhu and his team sold 20 units in one day, recovering all their investment and making a profit of 1200 yuan.
That night, He Daqing personally cooked a table full of delicious dishes. He Yuzhu drank so much that his tongue became swollen: "Brother, from now on, we two brothers will roll up our sleeves and work hard.
Isn't this much better than working? Working myself to death all year and only making a few bucks! The kids are getting married soon, so having money in hand means they don't have to worry!
Your brother, I have been selling buns since I was a kid! I have to make money from business, otherwise how could my family buy three main houses?
This batch of goods was sold very quickly, which was a huge profit. The two people made more than 20,000 yuan by using the products eliminated from Hong Kong Island.
After dividing the accounts, the two of them suddenly became millionaires. Chen Zhiyong's hands were shaking: Brother-in-law, pinch me, why do I feel like I'm dreaming?
Am I still asleep? Does that mean I'm a millionaire?"
He Yuzhu kicked his brother-in-law directly: "Does it hurt? It really hurts! This is just the beginning! Let's move on! This thing hasn't been sold for a few days!
Let's move to another place after each shot. We will continue to purchase goods and sell them in the old city first. Then we will go north to the three northeastern provinces. There are many rich people there.
This kind of thing won't last long, so we must seize this opportunity to make a fortune!
If there are any policy changes in the future, we can just stay at home and not go out. You can still work in the cannery, and I can still be a cook! It won't affect our meals! We are still genuine poor peasants! "
