Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 10 Opportunities are reserved for those who see thieves
"Hmph, people nowadays are becoming more and more lawless. This is the first time I've seen such blatant speculation!"

"I don't care who you are, I will risk my life today!"

Huang Tao was furious and seemed a little unsteady on his feet.

He hurriedly came to the desk, opened the drawer, took out a few medicine bottles, shook them, and swallowed this one and that one.

Li Jiankun's eyes widened, are you really a fool?

Uncle Zhao, are you sincerely deceiving me?
I bet this is how you got your big belly. Did you take too many medicines?
"do not move!"

"be honest!"

The guy just stood up and had no time to react before he was grabbed by the inspectors.

He failed to win but was captured, which made his descendants burst into tears.

Failed!
He should have thought that if the road to the county scrap station was so easy to navigate, why would Lao Wang be like this...

He immediately reflected that he was too proud and conceited, and had no regard for people of this era.

Retribution came so quickly.
-
Li Jiankun is as steady as an old dog. At this juncture, will he take risks?

No.

That's impossible.

"Stop, stop, stop, I'm talking to Stationmaster Huang, two comrades, please listen to me first, okay? I'm not speculating. Just relax your hands and I'll get something."

Without letting go, an inspector touched his breast pocket.

Two pieces of letter paper and one yellowed paper card.

The inspectors spread out one by one and looked at each other. Huang Tao immediately came up to him and said, "This..."

"I said, Lao Huang, you are just teasing us!"

"Webmaster Huang, this is a big joke."

Huang Tao looked like he had eaten a blowfly, and he hurriedly apologized to the two of them, and took out a pack of 1 cents of Big Red Eagle.

I passed the cigarette but no one took it.

Who has no temper?
Just because he is a webmaster.

Lie about the enemy, play tricks on the inspectors... would you try it on someone else?
Huang Tao explained anxiously for a long time, but now the faces of the two poor men looked better.

"It's not an example!"

"sure."

Huang Tao almost nodded and bowed, and sent him off in a good voice. When he came back, there was a thunderous thunder, which almost shattered someone's eardrum.

"You're just pretending, why didn't you tell me earlier?!"

Li Jiankun smiled bitterly, "You didn't even ask."

We never said it was the second generation, it was all made up by your own imagination.

I thought Xie was just a worm, who would give me a gift or not?
There are two pieces of letter paper placed on the table. One is a letter of certification from Qianjin Electrical Appliance Factory, proving that he is from the factory.

One with red lettering on it.

It was a letter of introduction that Li Jiankun forced Comrade Lao Wang to get from Shitouji Commune. Its approximate content is -

That's right, this guy belongs to our commune and is working hard for the collective cause. All units should give him some face and don't treat him as a bad element.

Otherwise, why do you think he stayed at Lao Wang's house so early in the morning?

Wait for the stamp!

The yellowed paper card was his membership card.

There are no ID cards these days, so how to prove you are you has to rely on this thing.

If it didn't work out, in addition to his rags and shoes, Xiao Wang's liberation bag also contained a household registration book.

Three certificates are complete, plus one additional copy.

Iron egg-like.

Ning can only say that I am unruly, but cannot say that I have committed a crime.

"Then Station Master Huang, do you think this is happening?"

Li Jiankun was still holding on to a sense of luck.

Can a businessman want face?
We have become a human being if we have face and cannot lose it. What we need to earn is called face, which must be given by others.

Two different things.

I have never seen such a shameless person... Huang Tao's nose almost turned out of breath, "Get out! Our goods are not given to communes, teams and enterprises, so get out of here!" After all, he was so offended.

After being kicked out, Li Jiankun summed up his lessons and figured out other ways to fight. He would never be discouraged by a defeat. He didn't go far while pushing his bicycle and found Stationmaster Huang also running out.

Isn't it time to change your mind?
Only this guy dares to think about this idea.

People these days are quite shameless.

He walked quickly towards the scrap shed without any regard for humans or birds, where a green-skinned Liberation vehicle was parked.

It's new, it hasn't been here before.

Li Jiankun stopped to look at it, and saw Stationmaster Huang diligently passing a cigarette to a person next to the car with a smile on his face. His attitude was even more... grandson-like than he treated the two poor men before.

Alas, an official as big as a sesame seed has nothing to do if he jumps out of his own one-third of an acre of land.

It's not easy for Lao Huang either.

He saw something fishy.

The words "Wanghai County Transportation Company" are printed on the door of the Jiefang car.

"Hey, brother, let me ask, who is that person? I think Stationmaster Huang respects him a lot."

Li Jiankun stepped forward with his cart and stopped a passing employee.

The other person looked in the direction of his finger, "Oh, he's from the transportation company. His last name seems to be Sun."

"Oh, what's your position?"

"Position? No, just a driver."

There is a problem.

Lao Huang is a leader, why would he be so fawning to an ordinary driver?

Li Jiankun asked about his doubts and handed over a cigarette at the right time. The other party glanced at the cigarette box and his eyes lit up.

"No, I won't smoke yet."

The dirty worker felt that this handsome and handsome boy was very capable. He not only smoked but also lit a fire.

How can you hold on to the little things you know?

This matter is not complicated in nature. The direct superior of the county waste depot is the municipal waste depot. To purchase the accumulated waste, most of them have to be dragged there, which requires transportation.

I also have two tractors at home.

But firstly, it cannot meet the demand, and secondly, it is okay to travel around the county, and long-distance transportation is very laborious.

Then you can only cooperate with a transportation company.

Li Jiankun can completely relate it, but this cannot explain the situation at hand.

"You should also give me money. Are you worthy of coveting him like this?"

"The key point is that even if I give you money, people won't do it! We, the scrap dealers, say we are all good brothers of the working class, but in reality, not many people think highly of us. People think the scraps are dirty and cost a car, so they don't want to see us.

"It was fine in the past. The webmaster would get work done from above and it would be effective, so he wouldn't spoil them.

"It can't be done now. If you don't offer me as a sacrifice, no one will look down on you."

Li Jiankun was puzzled, "Why is this?"

"The car can barely move. It's out of gas. Why do you think it is?"

This man was a little complacent and said: "Oh, their life is not easy, they are not as good as us."

out of gas?

Li Jiankun blinked and suddenly realized.

The crude oil market in the 70s was a source of internal and external troubles!
Externally, due to war factors, two oil crises broke out, in 73 and 78, well, that is, next year.

He has played with crude oil futures and learned about this crazy history.

After the two oil crises, global crude oil prices increased from US$1970 per barrel at the beginning of 1.2 to nearly US$1979 per barrel at the end of 40, an increase of approximately 32 times!
Even if it's not that scary, it's definitely more than ten times more scary.

Internally, the petroleum industry has made great contributions to my country's people's economy after decades of arduous struggle. The slogan "Industry learns from Daqing" proposed in 64 is still widely spread and inspiring.

But by the late 70s, it encountered a bottleneck.

Due to factors such as a serious shortage of exploration funds, reserve growth not keeping pace with production consumption, and accelerated output decline in old oil fields, crude oil production has shown a downward trend.

Hey!
For a country that urgently needs to develop its economy and generate income and foreign exchange, this is a life-threatening matter.

It was precisely based on this background that the vigorous oil contracting in 81 came about.
