On the other side of Director Li, Ning Weimin really didn't expect anything.
The reason is simple. If Director Li was really capable of solving his problem, this matter would not have reached this stage.
Those words at the banquet were just due to the atmosphere.
Although Ning Weimin believed that Director Li's statement was sincere, he said it should be said and done.
You can’t break away from the objective laws of things, right?
Therefore, when it comes to making a living, he has to rely on himself to make his own decisions, which is the most reliable.
Fortunately, he is no longer the impoverished master he was in the past, and the past few months of hanging out with the blind bastards have indeed been in vain.
He did some calculations and found that he had actually made a profit of 4,600 yuan from the blind people.
Today, he is actually considered a small rich man.
Just for the whole page of monkey tickets, I have already accumulated more than 600 tickets.
In addition, he also deliberately left five hundred yuan in cash for himself to be flexible.
This does not include the bonus awarded by the state for "Zhao Zha Zun Zun".
He used the money directly to honor his master.
To put it bluntly, he already has a lot of capital to take the initiative in his own life.
This is completely different from the past when he was just sitting around at home.
No, he soon found a loophole in the market to exploit, and that was tossing tropical fish.
Speaking of fun, Beijing people are very rich in history.
Speaking of playing with fish, people in Beijing are no strangers.
Flowers, birds, insects, and fish are the "four major things" in Beijing.
In fact, people in the capital have never stopped having this kind of pastime since ancient times, even in special years.
It’s just that in the early years, Beijing always played with goldfish.
Exported species such as tropical fish only entered the capital from the south in the mid-1970s.
At that time, the mainstream varieties entering the capital were peacock, fairy, red arrow, and traffic light.
Not only are they colorful, they are also beautiful.
The key is that the viewing method is very different from traditional goldfish kept in a large water tank and viewed from top to bottom.
To raise these tropical fish, you need to use a large square glass tank, in which you can also plant aquatic plants and put a rockery.
It is easy to create an ecological scene like an underwater world, which is very interesting.
Therefore, since the reform and opening up, along with flowers, plants, goldfish, birds, pigeons and other living animals, they have gradually become more and more popular in people's lives, and raising tropical fish has become more and more popular.
For example, Ning Weimin recently discovered that tropical fish seem to be more popular than goldfish, and there is a faint trend of becoming a mainstream species.
At the daily morning market or the flower, bird, fish and insect market, most of them sell goldfish.
But people who buy fish buy more tropical fish than goldfish.
Unfortunately, because tropical fish have just become popular, not many people have mastered the relevant breeding technology, and the supply of tropical fish on the market is very limited.
If someone sells it, it will be sold out in no time.
So Ning Weimin came up with this idea, thinking that the market potential was very great, and he wanted to make some money by breeding tropical fish.
You know, people in the capital have always had a "catch up" and "herd" mentality, and they always get up to speed on everything.
As long as it becomes popular, you can't hold it back even if you want. No matter men, women, old or young, everyone will participate enthusiastically.
Moreover, reselling anything now is considered speculation, but only buying and selling flowers, birds, fish and insects is allowed.
Although the price of tropical fish at this time is not expensive, if the shipment volume is large and small profits are made but quick turnover, you can still make a lot of money.
What's more, in terms of technology, he is really not an amateur, but has an innate advantage.
In Qingqing's previous life, as a small boss in the collecting industry, Ning Weimin could keep a silver dragon, a map, a seven-star sword and so on.
One is to seek good fortune in Feng Shui and long for water and fish to bring you wealth.
Second, you can also expand your business and network by contacting people with the same hobbies.
Although there is a price to be paid for being arty, when he first started, he wasted his hard-earned money.
But later on, he bought fish again and again and asked people for tips. As he got to know more masters, he became better and better at it.
Before time travel, he was able to successfully breed silver dragons artificially.
With such technology, is it still difficult to artificially breed common species of tropical fish in this day and age?
This idea came to mind, and Ning Weimin thought about it carefully.
In the end, I decided on the "Angelfish" as the species to make money.
At this time, this kind of fish is the type of fish raised by professional players. It is the most expensive on the market, and one fish can be sold for two yuan.
Breeding is also the most troublesome, because this kind of fish breeds on objects and requires the use of a birth plate.
But this kind of fish also has benefits. It reproduces frequently after entering the mature stage.
With 400-500 eggs each time, the amount of fish produced is also the largest.
Naturally, it is the most cost-effective for Ning Weimin.
I thought about it and started doing it, because there was no professional fish farming equipment on the market.
Ning Weimin made four fish tanks one and a half feet tall.
The material is just old iron sheets smashed into angle iron shapes and then assembled with rivets to form a fish tank frame.
Then put in the glass, apply putty, and paint it yourself.
It only cost 20 yuan. Although it is a bit crude, it is very practical.
Then he went to Guanyuaner Market and Taoranting Market, the largest markets in the city, and equipped himself with a thermometer to measure the water temperature.
I spent another fifteen dollars to get back three pairs of carefully selected angelfish, all of which have entered the breeding period.
Then it started to pour from cylinder A to cylinder B in the morning, from cylinder B to cylinder C at noon, and from cylinder C to cylinder A at night, this endless tossing.
In order to keep the fish warm, in addition to using light bulbs to bake several pairs of fish, they also used the sun to dry them.
Moreover, because tropical fish are foreign species, they will not eat fish food like goldfish, but will only eat live fish and insects in the river.
This caused Ning Weimin to resume the habit of getting up early every day and have to go to the morning market to buy fish and insects.
Sometimes when I buy a single small grass worm, it jumps around in the bottle like a needle, which makes people very busy.
Sometimes I buy red nematodes, which are thin and long, tangled into a knot, squirming in the water, and extremely numb.
And his troubles made his home look like a Crystal Palace, which naturally aroused the attention of the neighbors and made them feel strange.
Even Bian Jianggong, who helps him with the bathtub when he has time, doesn't understand.
Why would he have such a big fight and expend so much energy over a few fish?
Not to mention other people.
For example, Uncle Bian shook his head when he saw the fish.
"Weimin, these fish of yours are far worse than the big dragons raised in Zhongshan Park. What's there to see? Hey, I have presbyopia and I can't tell the difference between noses and eyes."
Master Luo didn't like Ning Weimin's fish very much, so he continued to talk.
"Nothing is as good as our local ones. Goldfish have been raised for thousands of years, and how many people have put their efforts into it. Dragon eyes, Wangtian, hibiscus, white pearls, and double cannons, one after another is so beautiful. Count these.
What? Still a fairy? How do you look like a fairy?"
Ning Weimin shook his head, unable to answer at all, and he was too lazy to explain.
It's hard to change people's habitual thinking and aesthetics. He doesn't like dragon eyes either, so goldfish is just fine.
So it’s up to them to think whatever they like.
Anyway, people didn't say that he was "fishing and fishing, which wasted crops. He was young and lost his ambition by playing with things."
When the time comes, all he has to do is wait for the egg to be laid, the board to be hung up, the little fish to take off, and he will get the money.
He was quite confident that he would be able to successfully breed one or two thousand of them every month before winter.
Even a dime is equivalent to two months' salary for ordinary people.
With this money, the important monkey ticket collection work can still proceed smoothly as planned.
