Chapter 75 People who don’t give in to fate
On the twentieth day of the first lunar month, the lanterns on the streets of Qingshui County began to be taken down.
This also means that the Spring Festival of 1982 has completely passed, and workers in factories and mines should also curb their laziness during the festival and gather their energy to devote themselves to the great cause of the construction of the four modernizations.
Li Ye turned left and right, avoiding the workers dismantling the pipe rack, and walked forward with a frown on his face.
The past two days have been full of worries, which made him very unhappy.
First, the matter of stepmother Han Chunmei buying out the pension fund was going to ferment faster than Li Ye imagined.
In just a few days, the news spread among relatives and friends, and many people laughed at Han Chunmei and Lao Li's family.
The water thrown out by the married girl. The bride price of 60 yuan was high enough at first, but now she is selling it for free again. Are you a rich person?
The miserable woman cried so much that she didn't even dare to go to class. She always felt like someone was poking her spine from behind, and her ears were buzzing with flies flying.
Li Ye thought he had a trick, but the old man's face drooped as if it were raining on a cloudy day. Li Kaijian even treated him with a nose that was not a nose, and eyes that were not eyes.
[This is all the fault of your kid. 】
Wonima.
A group of belated observers had no idea that Li Ye was helping his family solve big troubles in the future.
The thinking patterns of Li Kaijian and Li Zhongfa are still stuck in the era of "low wealth gap" that has lasted for thirty years. A factory director's salary is only dozens of yuan higher than that of ordinary workers.
The workers pointed at the factory director’s nose and cursed, that’s all.
But 80 years later, the concept of harmonious family ties that suffers not from poverty but from inequality will soon face a severe test.
Old Han’s family is not even willing to give breakfast to his granddaughter. Do you even need to think about the virtues of such a person?
No matter what Li Ye said, Li Zhongfa and Li Kaijian didn't believe how powerful it was. The mangy dogs Li Ye had seen in his previous life could suck blood from their relatives.
Blood is thicker than water, bones are broken and tendons are connected, you have eight million in your hand, your parents come to kowtow to you, remember the bitterness and sweetness, and ask you for one hundred and eighty thousand
How to fix it?
When the time comes, your brother will kneel down in front of you and his head will bang. What will you do?
If you buy out, you have to be ruthless. This time, Han Chunmei must give up completely. Otherwise, when the Li family becomes rich in the future, the old Han family may not know what to do!
As for Han Chunmei's soft temper, and Li Kaijian's wife slave with a golden bug on his head, why doesn't Li Ye wipe their butts all day long?
Li Ye didn't have the time to fight with the old Han family, so he attacked Han Chunmei.
Otherwise he would have taken action the night before yesterday.
He punched and kicked Han Xiaoxu's grandson, and then provoked Han's family to start a group fight, and went straight to the hospital. The two families completely became enemies.
But in that case, would Han Chunmei be as full of hatred for the old Han family as she is now?
You have sold your daughter!
If the Han family keeps going on like this, as long as Han Chunmei doesn't nod, it will all be in vain. No matter how much Li Kaijian loves this little wife, he will not do anything to fill the holes.
After all this trouble, Lao Li's family no longer recognizes this relative.
Therefore, Han Chunmei's psychological change is the key.
Li Ye seemed to be confronting Old Han, but in fact he was forcing Han Chunmei.
Of course, if Han Chunmei can stop it, the pain she is suffering now will be nothing. In the future, she will naturally understand that she has cultivated blessings for several lifetimes before following Li Kaijian, a super potential stock, and won a fortune for herself and her two daughters. What kind of life.
If Han Chunmei can't break...she will be in more pain.
Li Ye is not a virgin. Thousands of pieces of steel can be scattered to disturb the foundation of the old Li family... Hum...
. . . . . . . .
Another annoying thing is Hao Jian and Jin Peng.
These two guys brought their two younger brothers Ergou and Sanshui to Guangdong Province on the third day of the Lunar New Year.
After settling in Yangcheng on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, they sent a safe telegram to Li Ye , and then until the nineteenth day of the first lunar month, there was no news.
Li Ye originally thought that things for the two of them were almost settled, and at least one of them should be back soon as planned.
But yesterday afternoon, Li Ye received a telegram. The two guys had made no progress in the past ten days, so they had no choice but to ask Li Ye for urgent help.
[What a pair of fools. They don’t know how to adapt or maneuver. They even delayed asking for help for ten days. That is, they met me, otherwise they would be photographed to death on the beach sooner or later. 】
Li Ye cursed several times in his mind and walked into the Qingshui County Post and Telecommunications Office.
Seeing Li Ye enter the door, the staff inside laughed and said: "Li Ye, you are really diligent here! How about we give you the title of non-staff employee!"
A few days ago, Li Ye either came to send manuscripts, send telegrams, or get royalties. Everyone knew him.
That is to say, Teacher Ke came back, and the letters and parcels to and from the capital were handed over to her.
Li Ye took out a telegram manuscript and handed it over, saying: "Send a telegram today."
The telegraph clerk took the manuscript and was stunned: "Are you sending a telegram? Not sending a telegram?" Letter? That’s a lot of money for so many words!”
At this time, one word of telegram cost seven cents, and three words cost a pound of rice. People were trying to write less in telegrams. Wild is good, it’s almost like writing a letter.
Li Ye confirmed: "It's a telegram sent to Yangcheng."
"Yangcheng?" The telegraph operator suddenly remembered something and asked: "Yesterday, a telegram from you came from Yangcheng. Are you submitting to Yangcheng again?"
Li Yexiao He smiled and said, "No, a pen pal."
"Oh, texting and chatting with your pen pal? You are really anxious."
The telegraph operator smiled and took Li Ye The manuscript of the telegram was sent.
The "pen pals" of the 1980s are like the first batch of netizens in later generations. They were really fashionable, and they were really ladies in Langdi Jinsha, unlike later generations who were either dinosaurs or big pits.
But everyone basically talks about pen pals through letters and telegraphs of hundreds of words, which is really "monkey anxious".
. . . . . . . . . .
Hao Jian and Jin Peng were anxious.
The two of them and their "little brother" Sanshui squatted outside the Yangcheng Clothing Wholesale Market, watching the vehicles and vendors coming in and out, as if they were watching batches of RMB walking in front of their eyes. Slip away in a hurry.
"Brother Peng, what can we do! How about we try somewhere else! In such a large province of Guangdong, this is not the only place where clothing wholesale is available."
"You know what, this is the capital of the province, and you can't get a job in a place where the boss is in charge. Why don't you go to other places and think that people are cheating you enough?" "I'm just talking about the three stooges. I'm also anxious."
Hao Jian glanced at Sanshui, blew out a smoke ring and remained silent.
Sanshui only joined the team a few years ago, and he is quite enterprising, but he is far inferior to Jin Peng. It is wrong to say that he lacks a brain, but in today’s environment like Yangcheng, he That little brain is of no use at all.
When the four of them first arrived in Yangcheng, they were full of confidence, thinking that they could get a large number of good goods in three to five or seven days and send them back to Qingshui County by train to make a lot of money.
But reality taught them a good lesson.
Southeast, northwest, middle, get rich in eastern Guangdong.
It will be a few years before this sentence spreads across the country.
In early 1982, Yangcheng was far from as open as it was later. Several clothing wholesale markets in Yangcheng had only been open for more than a year. The conditions for doing business are far from being as loose and open-minded as Li Ye described.
Throughout the early 1980s, clothing department stores were actually a seller's market in China. As long as they were sold out of Guangdong Province, they could make considerable profits within a few hundred kilometers.
So Hao Jian came here with money to buy goods and expected others to deliver them at a high distance?
Don't think about it, he has to fight with a bunch of local aborigines from Guangdong Province. They have been selling it in surrounding provinces a few years ago. Hao Jian and others came here to snatch food from the tiger's mouth.
Northerners call southerners "Nanmanzi", and southerners call northerners "Beiquanzi". This is a very regional business circle, and outsiders cannot squeeze in.
The iron houses in the wholesale market look simple, but many of them are agents with factory backgrounds. They have their own networks. Regional groups such as the Huizhou Gang are extremely exclusive. .
People like Hao Jian and Jin Peng, who come to the door from time to time, are simply despised. Even if Hao Jian tries hard to convince others, the price quoted is still the retail price, which is too deceiving.
Those shops that were willing to talk to Hao Jian and the others were a mixed bag. Hao Jian contacted several shops in succession and paid nearly a thousand yuan in tuition before he suddenly realized that he should cut his losses quickly.
Otherwise it would be 20,000 yuan. The capital of 100 yuan may have been swirling away by now.
And Hao Jian is not a mindless person. He went through the sales process carefully and found that even if they were lucky enough to get the goods together, transportation back would be a big problem.
Because their letter of introduction doesn’t work.
Their letter of introduction was from the food department of Qingshui County. The words were vague. They were probably coming to Yangcheng to purchase supplies.
Let’s not talk about how tense the railway consignment is at the moment. It doesn’t matter how long the queue will be.
Just a letter of introduction from your food department, how many bags to check in, rice, peanuts, nuts, etc. Forget it, you are consigning thousands of pieces of bulk clothing?
What a liar! Is it true that an iron man can squeeze sand out of his big eyes? Who is willing to take this responsibility?
But if we don’t check it, and we expect four people to pick up the baggage and carry it to catch the train, how can we carry the cargo worth 20,000 yuan?
The Chaoshan people that Hao Jian met in the provincial capital of Dongshan were the salesmen of department stores carrying large baggage on their shoulders and 180 pieces of clothing.
Earning several yuan from one item and flipping it once a month or two can complete primitive accumulation.
But the goods costing 20,000 yuan are too unrealistic.
You want to engage in automobile transportation?
Carat connection knife, let’s not talk about whether the transportation team will accept the order.
These days, the national highways have large sections of dirt roads, with a distance of more than 2,000 kilometers. Everything is possible
It doesn't matter if you have to haul a cart of machinery or something. If you haul daily necessities like clothing, you probably won't be able to stay overnight.
Let’s find out why Yan Da was a car gangster in 1983 and a road hog in 1982.
Hao Jian used various methods to hope that the wholesalers in the clothing market would help him solve the transportation problem, even if the price of the goods was higher, he would accept it.
In the end, there was a bad guy who was good at cheating and actually reported them, saying that they were scammers with nothing to show for it.
Thanks to Hao Jian and others, they lived in a regular hotel. , they had an official seal of introduction in their hands, and the market management department didn’t have the spare time to let them experience the feeling of tears behind bars.
If this happens in a few years, when temporary residence permits become more popular, we will be able to enjoy it!
But no matter what, it was really difficult to become a bankrupt in early 1982!
"Brother, Brother Peng, the telegram is here, the telegram from home is here!"
A thin young man ran from across the road from a distance, and nimbly dodged across the street. After getting into the car, he climbed over the guardrail and ran to Jin Peng and others in one breath.
This is Ergou. Like Jin Peng and Sanshui, they are unemployed young people from Qingshui County who have a lot of idle time. They came to the world with Hao Jian and others with the dream of getting rich.
Yesterday, Hao Jian sent a telegram to Li Ye at home. Today, Hao Jian asked Er Gou to wait for news at the hotel, while he and Jin Peng continued to squat here and wait for the opportunity.
At this moment the telegram came, and both of them stood up in anticipation.
At this moment, they can only listen to the opinions of Li Ye, the major shareholder.
After all, Li Ye said at the beginning that he had the final say in business matters.
Whether to leave or stay now is up to him!
Ergou handed the telegram to Jin Peng, but Jin Peng didn't answer it. He pouted and gestured for him to hand it over to Hao Jian.
In the past few days, he has also realized that Hao Jian is slightly better than him in some things, and Hao Jian is also the second largest shareholder, isn't he?
Well, the main reason is that there are some differences in education level. Although both of them are junior high school students, Hao Jian is a person who can study newspapers after all, and his text understanding ability is better than Jin Peng.
But this man who boasted that he could tell national events from newspapers, took Li Ye's telegraph newspaper and looked at it again and again, and finally sighed repeatedly.
Jin Peng cursed angrily: "You are so angry! What did it say above?"
Hao Jian slapped his mouth and said: "He scolded us."
Jin Peng blinked and asked: "Then what? No more?"
Hao Jian said: "Yes. , he asked us to find local people for help."
Jin Peng was delighted and asked: "Who can we ask for help?"
Hao Jian shook his head: "I don't know, he asked us to find it ourselves. .”
"I"
Jin Peng grabbed the telegraph newspaper and read it twice in a row, but could only understand one sentence.
"It is best to find someone who is not willing to succumb to fate, so that he can get twice the result with half the effort."
Jin Peng asked blankly: "What do you mean by someone who is not willing to succumb to fate?"< br>
Hao Jian lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and said intoxicatedly: "People like me."
"."
Jin Peng, Ergou and Sanshui were all dumbfounded.
After a long time, Jin Peng clicked his tongue, his face almost twisted like a stroke patient.
"That's a lot of effort. It's really hard to find someone as ugly as you."
