Hello 1983

  Chapter 485 Shocked (it’s the end of the month, ask for a monthly pass)

   On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, according to the custom, noodles are eaten for breakfast on this day.

  Aunt Xu used the leeks brought by Liu Qingshan, and made the stewed leek meat. Everyone ate it deliciously.

  After a full meal, everyone went to Daheihe Island with big bags and small bags.

   Today is the first day of restarting border trade, so even Liu Qingshan is going to have a look at the trading shed.

  There are also a lot of people going to the market today, and they didn't make less money in the past month or so.

  Even those who do small things can make tens of thousands of dollars, so people's enthusiasm is unprecedentedly high.

  When we arrived at the riverside, the surface of the river was still frozen, and there was no sign of civilization at all. It's just that the temperature is a little higher than before, about fifteen or six degrees below zero.

  Generally speaking, the Longjiang River does not open until the beginning of April every year.

  After the opening of the river, cargo ships can only be used to dump goods, and loading and unloading is not as convenient as in winter.

   At that time, you will have to take a ferry to go to the island for trading. Unlike now, you will arrive in a short stroll.

   Along the way, there were many familiar faces, all of whom were full of joy, and greeted each other, saying "It seems that the Chinese New Year is getting younger and younger" or "Gong Xi Fa Cai".

  Liu Qingshan and the others have harvested a lot of "Gong Xi Fa Cai" along the way, and then gave away a lot.

  Especially those peddlers, when they saw Long Teng's large army, they were all smiles, and there were compliments in their words.

   Amidst the harmony, a piercing voice suddenly came:

   "Hey, hey, isn't this Xiaowu, who even boasted that he was the big boss in the capital, but he turned out to be a bag-carrier, hahaha, I'm dying of laughter!"

  Liu Qingshan couldn't help but follow the prestige, and then saw a group of empty-handed people, others were all wrapped up, so this group of people looked particularly eye-catching.

  The young man at the front with a strange face is exactly the third Xie who has met once, and Liu Qingshan doesn't know what his nickname is.

   I saw Xie Laosan wearing a mink fur coat flamboyantly, with a mink fur hat on his head, looking at Xiao Wu and the others with a smile, his eyes full of sarcasm.

  Xiao Wu and this guy have been at odds since they were young, and they pinched each other when they met, so they unloaded the big bag on their shoulders onto the ice and straightened their waists:

   "Xie Lao San, don't stand up and talk without back pain. We work by our own strength and eat by our ability. It's better than you, an idle son!"

  The words sounded good, and the vendors carrying bags all around shouted hello.

  Among them was a middle-aged man, who was still on the line, pointing at Xie Laosan's nose: "Young man, you have such a bad idea, don't you look down on the working people?"

   "If it was changed to the previous two years, I would force you to go to the Public Security Bureau to discuss the theory. I don't have time to talk to you right now, and I'm too busy making money."

  Xie was so angry that his fair and tender face became even paler. He didn't dare to provoke public anger, so he could only mutter in a low voice:

   "They are all poor ghosts with no ability, and they deserve to suffer."

  A solid young man beside him spat on the ice:

   "Third brother, don't be as knowledgeable as those guys. They only carry bags if they are incapable. We want to do big business."

   "Wang Qiang is right, we are not here to make small money, so don't talk to them."

   Another gentle guy also spoke, his name is An Chunfeng, among this group of people, he is like a think tank.

  Xie Laosan just nodded, and then saw a girl wearing a down jacket beside her, running towards Xiao Wu, and shouted: "Xiu girl, what are you doing?"

  Chu Yunxiu didn't turn her head back: "I see someone I know, go over and say hello."

Seeing Chu Yunxiu galloping towards him, waving his gloved hands vigorously, his face almost turned into a smile, Liu Qingshan didn't realize that the corners of his mouth turned up slightly: Girl, you are a professional who betrays teammates, right? ?

  Chu Yunxiu greeted Xiaowu and the others one by one, and then jumped up to Liu Qingshan with a smile: "Sanfeng, why didn't the fourth and fifth come along?"

   "If you had come here a year ago, you would have seen them."

  Liu Qingshan still has a very good impression of this girl who doesn't have the slightest scheming.

   "Oops, it's late!"

  Chu Yunxiu looked regretful: "Brother Xie is all to blame. Years ago, he had to drag me to stock up in the three provinces here."

  Liu Qingshan understands a little bit, the Chu family is very influential here, so Xie Lao San wants to use the power of the Chu family, maybe the possibility of cooperation is relatively high, so Chu Yunxiu will appear here.

  He couldn't help but feel vigilant: he had already started stocking up years ago, and he started very quickly.

   Thinking about Chu Yunxiu's attributes as a little spy, she asked, "Can you tell me what you have prepared?"

   "It's not a secret. There is nothing to say, mainly liquor and non-staple food, and daily necessities and down jackets."

  Chu Yunxiu was like pouring beans into a bamboo tube, Liu Qingshan also nodded secretly:

  It seems that the other party is also prepared, not blindly buying goods, obviously someone has done an investigation here beforehand.

  While chatting, she walked towards Da Dao, the girl Chu Yunxiu simply followed Liu Qingshan and the others, and didn't go back there.

  In Xie Laosan's group, someone called twice, but she didn't go back.

  Of course Chu Yunxiu is happy to be by Liu Qingshan’s side, and she still asks this and that.

  While waiting at the border station, Liu Qingshan heard soldiers greeting him: "Happy Chinese New Year!"

  Those who passed the checkpoint in front did not get this treatment.

  Seeing that the soldiers were smiling and looking at him, their eyes looked very friendly, Liu Qingshan also smiled and waved:

   "Happy Chinese New Year, have you called home during Chinese New Year?"

  A spirited little soldier winked at him: "Say it, tell me what's on my mind!"

   There was a burst of cheerful laughter, and Xiao Wu and the others also remembered the scene of singing this song together when they went to the military camp to condolences years ago.

  Passing through the checkpoint and entering the trading shed, a lot of people have already come to the opposite side.

   It seems that they are all suffocated.

   In fact, Maozi is more anxious than them. The businessmen on the Huaxia side mainly want to make money, while Maozi's side is for making a living.

   Soon, the trading hall became noisy, and many boys rushed to change the wine, and then poured it into their mouths.

   It is estimated that in the past 20 days, all the stored liquor will be consumed, and the alcohol addiction has long been unbearable.

  Longteng Trading Company's business is still the hottest. Those whores come here first to exchange some ham sausages, so that they can have a drink.

  Gangzi and the others took out the red sausage and shook it in their hands. When the Maozi saw it, their eyes lit up: this is good, it is much thicker than ham sausage.

  The red sausage that Liu Qingshan ordered at the Harbin Meat Factory finally arrived during the Spring Festival. This is the first time it has been put on the shelves.

   "How do I change this?" Maozi asked proactively.

   "One is worth three sausages." Gangzi explained to them.

   One of the hairs was replaced with a new one, stuffed into the mouth and then bit, the result almost gave the tooth an adze, and it was so cold.

  This guy is also really tenacious, he just gnawed a little off, smacked the taste in his mouth, and then gave a thumbs up: "Master Hara!"

  The red sausage was originally passed from Maozi, so it is more in line with their taste.

   So it was snapped up quickly, and this thing was taken back and melted, and it tasted the same as fresh.

  Xie Laosan and his group also wandered around the hall. It was the first time they came here, and of course they were surprised to see everything.

   "Third brother, the profit is too high, a piece of soap can be exchanged for a pair of big riding boots."

  The honest young man Wang Qiang was so speechless that he wanted to get a pair and put them on.

  An Chunfeng next to him smiled and shook his head: "Compared with steel, timber and chemical fertilizers, these are child's play."

  Walking along, he found a large group of morons gathered in front of him. When Wang Qiang saw the Longteng company's sign, he felt a little annoyed:

   "Third brother, they seem to be selling well."

  Xie Laosan said twice: "Don't worry, we will soon grab all of Longteng's customers, I don't believe it, we have twice as much goods as Longteng, those brats won't be tempted."

  Haha, several people laughed together. They are full of confidence in the future.

  Liu Qingshan worked with everyone for a while, and then was called aside by Hou San, looking at Ivanov standing in front of him, Liu Qingshan happily hugged him.

   It is obvious that Ivanov is much more energetic than before, with a clean shaven beard and a shrewd look.

  He talked a lot, Liu Qingshan, who can only understand single words, of course was confused.

  In the end, it was Hou San who helped translate: "Comrade Coward said that his goods are all sold out, and he still wants goods."

   Now calling him Comrade Coward doesn’t mean to make fun of him at all, but expresses a kind of intimacy.

  Liu Qingshan was also a little surprised: last time I shipped several trucks to Ivanov, worth tens of thousands of RMB, and they sold out so quickly?

   After asking, I realized that most of them were wholesaled by Ivanov, and they were all businessmen from Komsomolsk and Khabarovsk.

  Ivanov's eyes gleamed with excitement: "Liu, I already have nearly half a million rubles in my hand this time, so I don't need to pay any more credit!"

  In their home country, the value of the ruble is indeed very high, but it is really useless for Liu Qingshan to ask for this thing. After a few years, it will depreciate, and it will be too hard to use as paper.

  But since he was doing business with Maozi, he also needed to have hundreds of thousands of rubles in reserve, so he nodded in agreement.

  After being excited, Ivanov reported another piece of good news to Liu Qingshan:

   With the help of Katyusha's grandfather, he has already contacted the arsenal in Komsomolsk, Amur, and a batch of special steel will be delivered soon.

   "Thank you Ivan, you are our friend."

  Liu Qingshan patted Ivanov on the chest, officially approving this guy.

  Ivanov's expression also became serious: "Liu, you gave me a new life. The friendship between us, like the water of the Amur River, will always flow."

  In the past, Ivanov suffered an accident in his family, and he was left alone, living in a daze.

  It wasn't until he met Liu Qingshan that his life completely changed, and his whole person also had a goal and motivation in life, isn't it equivalent to resurrection?

   After chatting for a while, it was agreed to deliver the goods tomorrow, and Ivanov left happily.

   Before Liu Qingshan could catch his breath, he saw a big bald head and a big beard appearing in his field of vision again...

  Liu Qingshan is busy here, and Xie Laosan is also connected with a group of Maozi.

   This was introduced to them by the leader of the Economic and Trade Bureau. It is said that he is also a well-known and well-known businessman in Maozi's side.

   "Mr. Alexander, it's a happy cooperation." The third Xie shook hands with the leader Maozi, and there was a special translator beside him to communicate.

  The negotiation between the two parties was still very pleasant, and they agreed to barter with each other tomorrow, and then they each returned to their own side.

  Xie Laosan looked at those ordinary merchants who exchanged goods with needles and thread brains, and then shrugged: "It's business like us."

  The next day, the transaction continued.

   There was a little snow in the sky, but it still couldn't stop the enthusiasm of these businessmen.

  Xie Laosan and his group also drove to the riverside early.

  Behind them was a row of large trucks filled with crates of liquor.

  Their group did not have such a convenient warehouse by the river, so they simply hired ten large trucks to bring the liquor to show their strength.

  After getting off the car, Wang Qiang was still yelling loudly: "There is a red sun in my chest, and the east wind is dancing under my feet, haha, third brother, your name Xie Hongri is really loud."

  Xie’s eldest son’s nickname is Xie Hongri, which also bears a distinct imprint of the times.

  When we got to the riverside and looked across, several people were immediately stunned. They saw that there were countless large trucks on the opposite side, waiting to pass the border inspection.

   "Comrade Alexander, how much did you ship?" An Chunfeng couldn't help but wonder.

   "Big business is coming!"

Xie Laosan hit his fist hard. It was cold, he didn't wear gloves, and kept his hands tucked into his sleeves: "Qiangzi, hurry up and call those second-hand dealers over, and just approve the goods, and we can make money by reselling them." .”

  Not far from them, there were hundreds of people standing, all staring at the convoy over there, pointing fingers and discussing.

   "Everyone who wants steel, come here!"

  Wang Qiang roared at the top of his voice, his voice was really loud, and soon more than 20 people surrounded them.

   Then someone handed him a cigarette and greeted him enthusiastically: "Boss, you have some steel products to ship over. What type are they?"

  The word boss has quietly become popular in the riverside. No matter how big the business is, everyone calls him the boss.

   What type of steel, Xie Laosan and the others don’t know. I only heard from Alexander and the others yesterday that there are steel products, so I don’t know what type?

   "The price depends on the product." An Chunfeng said calmly, and then chatted with a few second-hand dealers, and unknowingly, he asked a lot of valuable things.

  He was also secretly startled when he heard it: My dear, five or six thousand yuan a ton, what a profit this is!

  Think about the price they negotiated yesterday: ten boxes of liquor can be exchanged for one ton of steel. How much is ten boxes of liquor?

  Because Liu Qingshan draws a large amount of baijiu here, the price of baijiu has also risen a bit.

   Two hundred yuan for five thousand yuan, this is not doing business, this is simply stealing money!

  When An Chunfeng told the news to his partners, everyone became excited.

  In the past, they thought it was easy to make money when they fiddled with approval documents, but it was not as fast as this.

   Just as he was excited, he saw a large truck that had passed the checkpoint slowly approaching.

   Everyone rushed to meet it, and sure enough, the trucks were filled with steel.

  Wang Qiang hurriedly shouted: "We are from Hongri Trading Company to pick up the goods."

   After yelling, I realized that the driver was sitting in the cab with a big nose, and I couldn't understand it at all, so I asked the translator to yell again.

  The window glass of the cab was rolled down, and the guy inside waved his hand impatiently, muttering something.

   "What does he mean?" Wang Qiang hurriedly asked the translator.

   The translator was stunned for a moment: "He, he said that these steel products belong to Longteng Trading Company."

  Wang Qiang blinked his eyes twice, and then asked Xie Hongri: "Third brother, who is Long Teng?"

  After asking, he remembered something: "Damn it, Xiao Wu's broken trading company seems to be called Longteng!"
