Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 584 It turns out that this is my most profitable business

The green train was speeding through the wilderness, and there was a lot of excitement and noise in Car No. 11. The cold air of winter seeped in through the window glass and was quickly diluted.

The number of passengers on this train has increased significantly this year, and there are already people sitting in the aisles.

Li Jiankun glanced around and could tell their identities from their clothes and conversation.

There are bad guys who travel all over the country.

There are salesmen who run sales for affiliated factories.

There are cadres from government agencies.

There are also scammers who are out there trying to deceive people.

In the four years since the reform and opening up, we have vigorously developed the rural economy. The first people in our country to awaken to their money consciousness were country people. The concept of country people is very broad and refers to both farmers and small town residents.

For example, educated youths who went to the countryside in big cities. Although many of them became self-employed after returning to the city, most of them were forced by life. They may not subconsciously realize that the economic situation is inevitably transitioning from planning to market, nor have they realized that the economic situation is inevitably transitioning from planning to market. Understand the immeasurable importance of money in the future.

"Let me tell you, shoes in Vancouver are really easy to sell outside, especially in the north."

"Isn't that right? The north is full of iron-making factories, and daily necessities are in short supply. I bought a batch of socks in the middle of the year, which directly caused looting and even raised the price."

"The two eldest brothers seem to have made a lot of money this year. Northeastern, right? I will try it next year too."

"But be careful. It's best to go to the check-in area first, make some connections, and make some friends with the locals. The world is not peaceful these days."

...

"Brother, is the plaster you sell really effective? My old waist was bruised by lifting heavy objects before, and now it hurts when I move a little bit."

"Brother, if we don't lie to our own family, it's useless."

"Ah? You just said that the miracle doctor's formula was blessed by qigong."

"Do you believe this? You're deceiving those fools outside. To tell you the truth, the formula was obtained from our brigade's local men. To say that the effect was only marginal, I first took it out and sold it, but I couldn't sell two pairs in a day. , later I saw that so many people believed in Qigong, so I came up with this gimmick, and guess what? A hundred pairs a day were not enough to sell."

"Brother is awesome!"

...

"My little brother is from Liushi? Do you know someone named Hu Jincai?"

"I know him. He's an electrical appliance guy. He's very rich! To be honest, I heard about his deeds and that's why I had the courage to come out."

"Explained. In Gan Province in October."

"what?!"

"The exact news is that a truckload of goods was eaten by someone, and no one ran away."

"This……"

Various chatting words passed through my ears, and behind each wealth story, there were also many unknown fortunes, adventures, or adventures hidden.

Jiangsu and Zhejiang people have a characteristic that they are relatively united. For example, some less formal travel agencies in later generations are very reluctant to receive groups from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, because they are always prone to get together and cause trouble.On this train to their hometown, everyone opened their hearts to their fellow villagers.

Even if those cadres heard these words, they didn't teach these guys a lesson for being so bold, and they openly talked about buying and selling.He read the newspaper by himself, or closed his eyes to meditate, remaining silent.

Li Jiankun sat with his second sister, and Shanhe sat with a young man with a simple and honest face. Affected by the atmosphere in the carriage, they were also talking about this topic.

Xiao Wang lamented, “It’s really not easy to travel around to make some money these days.”

Li Jiankun let out a long breath, "Isn't it easy?"

That is tantamount to leaving your personality and dignity on the ground and letting others rub it, while tying your head to the waistband of your pants.

First of all, no one looks down on traders who exploit off-the-grid businesses and have to evade industrial and commercial inspections. Being caught and having their goods confiscated is only a minor matter.Secondly, I have been away from home for a long time, traveling around various places. With the current public security situation, it is a luck not to be targeted by someone who is trying to trick someone.

From the perspective of Li Jiankun, a later generation, he didn't like to see those who were pretentious and deceitful.

And the people who actually sell goods really have nothing to be ashamed of.They can be the first to get rich, and there is only one word to comment on - Damn!

Xiao Wang looked to his side, "Where are you from, brother?"

A young man about the same age as Li Yunshang with a simple and honest face replied politely, "Yiwu."

"You are doing small business now?"

The eldest brother had a red and blue woven bag stuffed under the seat. It made a jingling sound when it was shaken. It was probably some kind of small metal object.When Xiao Wang asked this question, Li Jiankun almost laughed. After all, he had the mindset of future generations.In later generations, you caught a Yiwu man and asked: Do you do small business there?
Isn't it funny?

The young man nodded, "There are quite a few now. Many small hardware factories have popped up in the past few years, and we can't expect to sell them. Many of our people who have nothing to do just sell some goods and sell them in other places. Make a living."

Li Jiankun thought about it for a moment, and it seemed that the rise of Yiwu's small commodity market was indeed in 1983.

"Come, come, melon seed soda, bread and biscuits, liquor and beer, broad beans and peanuts! Are there any comrades in need?"

The flight attendant selling non-staple food came to the carriage carrying a basket of ingots, with a pleased and relaxed look on his face.

Starting from the second half of this year, she no longer had to worry about performance, and her boss had no reason to scold her.

As expected, the basket full of freshly prepared goods bottomed out in an instant.She had to retrace her steps to reload the goods and then move on to the next carriage.

Li Jiankun and the others ordered two small bottles of Erguotou, plus one pack each of melon seeds, orchid beans and peanuts.Li Yunshang can be considered a bit drunk now, but he doesn't intend to drink, and will just crack the melon seeds.

A young man from Yiwu sat opposite her and declined the invitation to have a drink together. He did not dare to raise his head without being asked anything.

During the long journey, Li Jiankun and Wang Jianghe drank wine and talked about their affairs.

Regarding the antique trade, Xiao Wang now has some other ideas.

In the capital, people’s awareness of antiques is gradually awakening.As early as 1981, a nationwide census of cultural relics was launched, and a number of reports on cultural relics work were subsequently released, such as planning to establish the "International Friendship Museum".

There is currently a lot of antiques for sale in the Friendship Store, and they are usually expensive based on ordinary people's wages.

This brings an advantage and a disadvantage.

The bad thing is that if you think about picking up something at a cabbage price like in previous years, this kind of thing will never happen, and the probability is getting lower and lower.

The good thing is that the antique market is becoming increasingly popular, and the price of antiques is also rising.

After Xiao Wang took a sip of wine, he lowered his voice and said: "Ma Weidu has a friend who has a "Stone Pine Picture" by Bada Shanren. A southern businessman, not sure whether he is from Yangcheng or Hong Kong, came to visit three times. We took action last month, this number.”

Li Jiankun looked at the two raised fingers and said, "That's not a good deal either."

No matter how ignorant he was, he had still heard the name Bada Shanren.

"Beautiful sword." Xiao Wang added.

Li Jiankun was startled, that was completely different.Don't look at the exchange rate of US dollars to RMB in 1983. It was not even 2:1. If you really exchange it on the black market, you may not even get 5:1.

"What do you think?"

Xiao Wang peeled off a peanut and threw it into his mouth. It crunched, "I'm reluctant to sell the really good stuff, but I've played with some stuff thoroughly and they're not very valuable. I plan to sell them as soon as I can. Exchange the money back to buy better items.”

Li Jiankun shook his head and said: "It's not the right time to take action now. Wait a few years. You have to find good items. If you don't have money, I will give it to you."

Xiao Wang said angrily: "I can't let it go, brother! You haven't been to my place this year, right?"

Hey!
Can’t let go of the house that covers an area of ​​several hundred square meters in Liuchi Lane?

Li Jiankun's eyes widened and he asked: "Press...what do you estimate is the total value of the antiques we have on hand now?"

Xiao Wang thought about it and said: "Let me tell you this, I can give you a hundred pieces of objects of the same quality as the "Stone Pine Picture" mentioned above, which are of high value but not low value."

I'm a darling!
Li Jiankun couldn't help but grin. Doesn't that mean that even according to the current market price, he can still sell a small target?

It's amazing that after so many years of hard work, his biggest profit in the country turned out to be here.

Xiao Wang added: "Shipping is one of them. In addition, I want to open a shop and set up a fixed venue. As long as the sign is up, if people have goods they want to sell, they will be delivered to their doorsteps. There are too many people looking for antiques now, so this way is better than going out. It’s much easier and more efficient to walk around outside.”

Li Jiankun took a gulp of wine and smashed it into his mouth.

It's a good idea, but the timing is a little short.

Now we can use the self-employed procedures to open a shop, but it’s not too big.If it's too big, it's easy to cause problems.

He didn't deny it outright and asked, "Is there anything you would like about setting up a shop?"

Xiao Wang nodded slightly, "There are a few. Why don't I come over in the new year and take you to have a look?"

"also."

Li Jiankun thought that he was an amateur after all when it came to antiques. To what extent had the antiques market developed?How should this stall be laid out specifically?Check it out first, it's really necessary.
