I just want to make money

Chapter 16 Restocking
Jiang Wu came to the decoration team, and the small contractor offered 450 labor and materials after reading it. Lin Yi agreed without hesitation, and Lin Yi didn't have to worry about the rest.

Waited another two days.

The self-employed business license came down, three or four days faster than expected. When Lin Yi went to get the license, he secretly stuffed two packs of cigarettes for Section Chief Liu.

The Bureau of Industry and Commerce is the official management unit of Hanzheng Street, so it must be right to have a good relationship.

Lin Yi looked at the system.

There are now a total of more than 1 in the wallet. Before that, he spent 1 yuan to improve his physical fitness, and another [-] yuan to buy a house and decorate it.

Fortunately, during this period of time, Li Xiangqian and Xiao Wu's business of selling watches is getting better and better. They can earn one or two thousand a day. In terms of sales, those guys can sell three or five watches every day.

Chen Ding also got started very quickly, and now he can sell a few of them every day, and Lin Yi's wallet has gradually bulged up these days.

The fastest sellers are still electronic watches. He snatched more than 800 watches in the Linjiayuan market, and now he has sold more than 300 of them, leaving about [-] in his hand.

Quartz watch is also good, sold for three 40 yuan.

There are far fewer mechanical watches. In the final analysis, it is determined by the price factor. It is cheap and good, and it is the highest pursuit of people to spend a small amount of money to do big things.

Hanzheng Street is still lively.

All the merchants here saw that the facade in the middle was being renovated, and they knew that there would be business opening again. Although they didn't see the boss, they could tell that the boss was going to do a big job.

at night,

Lin Yi and Jiang Wuli went forward to eat.

"Tomorrow I'm going to go out to buy goods. This time I'm going far away. I'm going to visit Shencheng. Over there is the window of reform and opening up. If I have a chance, I want to see what is outside the window. This time the road is also far away. The train will take three days. I estimate that I will be back in about half a month."

"These things at home, the electronic watch is about [-] yuan, and there are accounts for quartz watches and mechanical watches. You can keep track of how much you sell. There are also a few tape recorders and black and white TV sets at home. If you want it, you can do it. sell."

Jiang Wu and Li Xiangqian couldn't stop nodding as they listened.

"Jiang Wu will keep an eye on the decoration of the facade, and we will open when I come back."

"Brother Yi, what shall we sell?" Jiang Wu asked.

"It depends on the situation, what is easy to sell."

Lin Yi got on the train.

This time he didn't squeeze the hard seat again, but asked someone to find a relationship in advance to buy a sleeper ticket. If he sat in the hard seat for three days and three nights, he would probably be tired all the way to Shencheng.

There are three floors of hard sleeper bunks, six people in one compartment, and Lin Yi's ticket is the top floor, which is a good place, so I put my backpack on it.

The train is like a small society. People sitting next to each other will chat, ask where to go, and what to do when they go out.

A middle-aged man was chatting with Lin Yi. Lin Yi smiled and said that he was going to Shencheng. A fellow villager wrote to him asking him to work there. Much, definitely better than farming at home.”

Lin Yi smiled honestly.

long journey,

Fortunately, Lin Yi has improved his physique, otherwise he would have suffered from backaches and backaches. In the past three days, except for eating and going to the bathroom, Lin Yi spent most of his time reading.

He brought a copy of Water Margin to pass the time on the road.

In later generations, he has watched the Water Margin TV series, and he has also watched hundreds of forums criticizing the Water Margin. Only after reading the original work did he realize that the original work is far more fantasy than the TV series.

In fact, counting,
The four great classics all have a fantasy color.

Needless to say in Journey to the West, there are 36 stars in the sky and 72 stars in the earth, and there are Taoism to call the wind and rain.

In Dream of Red Mansions, there are crimson bead grass, waiter Shenying, and fairy aunt Jinghuan.

The Three Kingdoms also had Zuo Ci, Yu Ji, Nanhua Laoxian, Master Zixu and other immortals, and the three brothers Zhang Jiao also knew Taoism.

The train arrives at Guangzhou Station.

Lin Yi got out of the car with his bag in his hand. Now that the reform and opening up has just started, Shencheng has been designated as a special zone. Not everyone can enter. If you want to go there, you need a letter of introduction and a pass, which Lin Yi doesn't have.

In fact, Lin Yi's destination was not Shencheng.

He said that Shencheng was just an excuse, and his real destination was Nansha. This Nansha is not the Nansha Islands, but Nansha County, which is the Nansha District in later generations.

Panyu and Nansha are the two areas where smuggling is most prevalent, and a large market has been formed here. According to later reports, there are tens of thousands of smugglers in the two places, and hundreds of boats are doing smuggling business every day , the value of the goods exceeds 200 million.

every day.

It can be seen that the market is huge.

Nansha is located at the mouth of the Pearl River and has a natural geographical advantage. Decades ago, Mr. Huo used this channel to transport goods from Hong Kong to the inland. Now this road has become a golden waterway for smugglers.

For these cases,
Lin Yi only had a general understanding, but he didn't know exactly how to find it.

He was not in a hurry,
I walked around the streets of Nansha County twice, and finally stayed in a private hotel, "Boss, open a room."

"Shared room or single room?" the boss asked.

"single."

The boss took out the key tray and took Lin Yi upstairs. The hotel was very simple, with a plank bed, a table, a thermos pot on the table, and a desk lamp, nothing else.

There is no air-conditioning TV that is standard in later generations.

bathroom,
Go outside by yourself.

And this is already the best room, one yuan and two a day.

"Boss, ask me something." Lin Yi stopped the boss who was about to go down.

"What's the matter~!"

The boss spoke in broken Mandarin.

Lin Yi took out a cigarette and handed over one, "Boss, I'm here to buy goods. I'm not familiar with the way for the first time. Can you show me the way?"

As he spoke, he took out the lighter and lit it for the boss.

The boss took a sip, wiped the parted head of the Mediterranean Sea, and looked at Lin Yi. He had seen a lot of situations where outsiders came to buy goods and couldn't figure out the way.

"What do you want to buy?"

"Digital watch, sunglasses." Lin Yi said.

"I can introduce a person for you, and you can get the goods from him." The boss who introduces the customer to the owner of the goods also has a commission.

Just like when you go to a city and ask a taxi driver which KTV is good for bathing, there is a high probability that he will take you to a familiar place.

Lin Yi shook his head.

"I want to go to the island to have a look and pick it out myself. Do you have any connections?" Lin Yi doesn't want to be a fat sheep. The second-hand goods sold to him must have a price increase, and the quality may not be good. He wants to go to the market to buy goods by himself. .

The boss looked at Lin Yi carefully.

Xin said that this young man seemed quite knowledgeable and knew about going to the island.

There are countless islands in Nansha, blocked by waterways, which provide natural protection for smuggling. Those smuggling ships bring goods back, and basically put them on the islands. Over time, these islands form markets one by one.

"It's not easy to take you to the island. Most people don't let you go to the island." The boss shook his head.

"I won't let you be busy in vain." Lin Yi said.

"Do you have any papers?"

the boss asked suddenly.

"I didn't bring my ID. By the way, I have a train ticket, do you think it's okay?" Lin Yi wouldn't foolishly show the other party some ID, and it's not a legal business.

The boss just wanted to prove that Lin Yi was from another place, so he took the train ticket and looked at it. He was from Jiangcheng, so he felt relieved.

"100 yuan, first pay 50 introduction fee, I will send you hello and find someone to take you to the island, you are paying the remaining 50." The boss said.

Lin Yi pretended to think about it, "OK."

He took out a stack of money from his pocket, about two or three hundred, counted out five large groups and handed it to the boss, who accepted the money with satisfaction.

"Take a break and I'll write to you tomorrow."

Lin Yi went downstairs to find a restaurant to have a meal, and he didn't go around. There were no entertainment programs in this era, and the law and order were also very chaotic. After eating, he went back to the hotel room to read. Now reading has become his biggest hobby, which is better than going to school. Still diligent.

It's all right in the morning.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, there was a knock on the door.

Lin Yi immediately got up and opened the door. The boss entered the room and said, "I've got in touch with you. We will leave at 4 o'clock tomorrow morning and arrive at the island at 7 o'clock. The ticket is 30."

Lin Yi nodded in agreement.

He continued to read in the hotel, went to bed at 8 o'clock in the evening, and Lin Yi woke up at [-] o'clock in the morning, and he found that he was not the only room in the corridor that was making noise.

It's past three o'clock,

The boss knocked on the door to call for someone. He was not the only one who followed downstairs. There were five people in total. They looked at each other and no one said a word. They followed the boss to a small pier. There was a fishing boat waiting here. There were already six or seven people on board. After Lin Yi and the others boarded the boat, the fishing boat started to sail out of the dock.

Four o'clock in the morning is the darkest hour of the day.

There are still stars in the sky.

The fishing boat walked for about two or three hours, and the sky had already brightened. Lin Yi was not familiar with this place, so he couldn't tell where he was, and finally stopped by an island.

"Get off the boat, I'll take you there." The boat boss shouted.

Everyone disembarked.

After walking a few miles, I found that I came to a fishing village. The fishing village is not very big. There is only one main street. There are stalls at some entrances, and some goods are placed on them, such as electronic watches, umbrellas, sunglasses, video recorders, and cameras.

There are even bicycles and motorcycles at the door.

Chuan Lao Dao: "Any goods displayed at the door means that there are goods at home. You can enter the house and buy from the owner. But there is a rule that you can't return it if you buy it. You can't say that you bought it at this store. The family saw the cheap one and ran back to return it.”

Lin Yi understood,
Whether you can buy cheaper ones is up to you.

"The boat returns at four o'clock in the afternoon. I can watch the time myself. There are restaurants on the island but no hotels. If I can't catch the boat, I can only sleep on the street."

After the boat boss finished speaking, everyone rushed into the fishing village with big bags and small bags.

Lin Yi walked to a booth with electronic watches. He was most familiar with electronic watches, and he planned to compare the prices here and there, and then he would know if it was a scam.

He picked up a watch and asked, "Boss, how much is this watch?"

"Twenty dollars."

"What about bulk purchases?"

"How many?"

"Twenty dollars."

"That'll get you down to eight bucks."

Lin Yi now has the bottom line in his heart, the things here are indeed cheaper than those in Wuzhou.
