I just want to make money

Chapter 23 Calendar Business
Get on the train again.

Lin Yi is already familiar with the road.

Simply say hello to the people in the same compartment, and then lie on your bed and start reading.

The clanging of the rails and the noisy chatter of people around couldn't affect Lin Yi, he was already immersed in it.

In fact, this kind of immersive reading feels very cool.

The whole person's thoughts seem to have left the body, and wandered into the world of books. Learning makes me happy, and learning makes me happier in the future.

Three days later,
Lin Yi stayed in that hotel again.

"Boss, we meet again." Lin Yi greeted the hotel owner.

"It's Brother Lin. I've come here again in only ten days. It seems that the business is very good." The innkeeper said with a smile.

"Really good."

"Are you going to pick up the goods at the last store this time? I'll contact you." The innkeeper said.

"Is there a better place to change this time?" Lin Yi asked.

He is not only here to buy goods, but also to visit more places and inspect the market to fully understand the current market conditions.

"No problem, it's sure to be bigger than last time, and the goods are more complete." The hotel owner promised.

The boss opened a room for Lin Yi,
Lin Yi happily paid 50 yuan for the information.

The next morning, Lin Yi was woken up at [-] o'clock in the morning. He boarded a boat at the pier as before, and arrived at an island with a whole boat.

This market is indeed bigger than the previous island. There are fifty or sixty residential stores, and there are more types of goods. There are seven or eight stores that only sell sunglasses.

Clothes, shoes, cosmetics, purses, sunglasses, watches, motorcycles, TV sets, radios, tape recorders, umbrellas, cloth, shampoo, washing powder, cigarettes, and even imported candies.

What surprised Lin Yi the most was.

He was on the island and saw there were gold and foreign exchange exchanges.

You must know that the country now implements strict control over the sale of gold, and the private sector freezes the sale of gold and silver, stipulating that the domestic sale of gold and silver is uniformly operated by banks.

Gold jewelry was not released until 82.

It is said that when the Beijing Gold Store opened, it sold more than a ton of gold jewelry in a day. It is said that it was poor at that time, but the purchasing power was still terrifying.

The current gold and silver trading on the island is naturally illegal. They mainly collect gold, and then take the gold and silver to the sea to trade with those smugglers.

They mainly collect, and of course they also sell, but they will increase the price. Lin Yi thinks this is normal, and making the difference is the most basic means of doing business.

As for foreign exchange.

Nowadays, the country is also strictly controlled. The country’s foreign exchange reserves are said to be only a few hundred million U.S. dollars, and some other foreign currencies. When foreigners come to China, they have to exchange them for foreign exchange certificates, just to take away foreign currencies.

And foreign exchange certificates can be purchased at the Friendship Store, and many things that cannot be bought in ordinary department stores are not required.

There are many people going abroad now, but the country only gives a very small number of foreign exchange quotas. It is not bad to exchange a few hundred dollars for one person, but it is really not enough. There are still many people who want to bring something back from abroad, so they need more. Multiple foreign currencies.

The right path fails, and the black market naturally emerges as the times require.

In 80, the exchange rate between the RMB and the U.S. dollar was about 1 yuan to 1.7 U.S. dollar, but people did not recognize that the renminbi could not be freely converted into U.S. dollars.

On the black market, this exchange rate can be multiplied several times. One dollar can be exchanged for six or seven yuan, and it is not uncommon for black dots to be exchanged for eight or nine yuan. The highest peak in history is said to have reached 1:1.

Lin Yi went in and asked about the exchange rate, "How do I exchange dollars?".

The man looked at Lin Yi and said, "1 to 8 dollars."

"What about Hong Kong dollars?"

"Hong Kong dollar 0.5 to 1".

Lin Yixin said.

It would be great if I could earn US dollars or Hong Kong dollars. Anyway, the system eats renminbi, and the US dollars I get can be converted into renminbi on the black market, and it will be doubled several times at once.

But I can only think about it.

Given his current situation, it would be very difficult to go abroad, so for the time being, he might as well pursue a glorious and lucrative career like Daoye.

delivery.

The prices here are basically the same as the island I went to for the first time, and the prices of the goods are basically the same. I think they have passed the gas, otherwise the market will be chaotic.

Seven or eight merchants selling sunglasses,
Lin Yi ran from house to house.

He was not slow to pick up the goods. By noon, he had already picked up enough goods. He walked out with two big bags in his hand. There was a restaurant next to him. Lin Yi went in and asked for a bowl of noodles to fill his stomach and take a rest.

There is a stall next to the restaurant,
There are all kinds of printed matter on it.

There were people around the booth, laughing and talking in low voices while watching, Lin Yi went over curiously, and after seeing it, he called it a good guy.

color changing lighter,
beauty poker,

illustrator,
Novels with all kinds of explosive titles, with a lot of ellipsis.

Some posters and calendars in bikinis are the most normal.

Reform and Opening,
At the same time as the introduction of capital and technology, some messy things also poured in, and it was inevitable.

Perhaps these things are somewhat attractive to others, but for Lin Yi, who has been baptized by modern information and has several T hard drive seeds, these can only be regarded as elementary products for children.

But when he saw those calendars, something suddenly came to his mind.

"Boss, how do you sell these calendars?" Lin Yi asked.

"A single sheet costs 5 cents, and a set of twelve sheets costs 5 yuan." The stall owner, a middle-aged greasy man, replied in broken Mandarin.

The price the boss said was obviously too expensive.

"What about bulk wholesale?" Lin Yi asked.

"For bulk wholesale, it's [-] cents for a single sheet, and [-] yuan for a twelve sheet." The boss gave a similar price this time.

Department stores also have calendars.

It sells well before Chinese New Year every year.

Basically, a single sheet costs 10 yuan a piece, and [-] sheets cost [-] yuan a piece. However, most of the wall calendars sold in department stores are landscapes, potted flowers and birds, and celebrity calligraphy and paintings. There is absolutely no one wearing a bikini. Beauty.

They are a state-owned unit that sells calendars with revealing and sexy content. If they are picked on by the top, the leaders will definitely be held accountable. The leaders of those department stores are known for their stability. If they don’t make mistakes, they are meritorious. wall calendar.

Now it’s November, and it’s almost time to change the calendars. If I get a batch of such bikini beauties wall calendars and sell them back to fill the gap in the market, it will definitely sell well.

But Lin Yi quickly rejected this idea.

He calculated that with one cubic meter of space, he could bring back at most one or two thousand calendars at a time. Even if he earned 3 yuan per book, it would only cost more than 5000 yuan, which is far worse than selling sunglasses.

Wall calendars want to make money,

The best way is to find a local printing factory, print a large batch, and then quickly put it on the market before New Year's Day and Spring Festival, and sell it wholesale to make a quick profit.

"Boss, give me a copy of everything." Lin Yi said.

"One copy of each type, that's only thirty or fifty copies, you can't give the wholesale price with this quantity." The boss said.

"My quantity is not too small, you can make it cheaper."

"Then 4 cents for a single sheet, 4 yuan for the whole book." The boss said.

It wasn't too much at first, Lin Yi wasn't negotiating the price, the boss took out one of each from the bookstall, and finally counted more than 20 kinds of single sheets, and more than 20 kinds of twelve complete books, a total of more than 50 yuan.

When choosing, Lin Yi looked at them one by one.

There are half and half European and American beauties and half and half Asian beauties. There are many who he doesn't know, but there are also many big stars who will be familiar to future generations.

Such as Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Sophia Loren.

Lin Yi bought these wall calendars,

It's not for sale, and of course not for his own use. His idea is that if he can find a suitable printing factory when he goes back, he's going to use these calendars directly as base plates.

Four p.m,

The fishing boat left with a group of people, and Lin Yi returned to the hotel. It was still the original process. Lin Yi asked the boss to help book a sleeper back to the city, and the boss readily agreed after taking the money.

The sunglasses I bought this time have filled the space to the brim. In order to put down those calendars, Lin Yi took out the sunglasses and threw away the straps, and finally made room to put the calendars in.

the next day,
Lin Yi got on the train back to Jiangcheng.

Another three-day trip.

Lin Yi finally returned home.

　Thanks to the leader of the "Green Tea, Mint" brothers for their rewards, and also to other book friends and brothers for their votes and rewards. Thanks for the heavy rain.
