Chapter 35 Transport Team

The early summer sunshine shines on the Songhua River, making it sparkling when viewed from a distance.

Green grass and red and yellow wildflowers are scorched by the hot sun hanging high in the sky, and the air is filled with a sweet and intoxicating scent.

Under the shade of a tree by the river, Li Zhongxin's right hand blocked the shimmering light spots the size of copper coins transmitted through the dense layers of branches and leaves, and he looked happily at the busy crowd in the distance.

After carefully studying Wang Bo's recent report, Li Zhongxin came up with a new idea.

Seeing that there were more people fishing and picking fish, Li Zhongxin thought about it for a while and called Bai Yunpeng's third uncle Bai Fengyi out alone.

He was asked to form a transportation team with a dozen or so smart people in the fishing team, responsible for riding to the surrounding towns near Jiangcheng to sell fish.

Make two circles with iron wire (No. 8 wire) on the back seat of a 28-inch bicycle, fix them with pliers, and pass a hardwood stick through the middle of the circle. Either hang two baskets or two baskets on both ends of the stick.

The sacks form a mobile transport vehicle.

In the 1980s, unlike later generations, most people used bicycles when going out. Adults could ride dozens of kilometers a day without any problems. Even women could ride long distances with a load weighing more than 100 kilograms.

As more fish are caught, the daily sales volume increases, and Jiangcheng cannot sell out all the fish. Naturally, more people are needed to go out and sell in the towns and villages around Jiangcheng.

Profit is the source that drives people to work hard. Forming such a long-distance transportation team can obtain higher benefits, and Li Zhongxin will naturally not let it go.

The most important thing is that Li Zhongxin formed these long-distance transportation teams to better help him collect old stamps and some old objects in the surrounding areas.

Li Zhongxin knew for sure that according to his arrangement, the income of these middle-aged men riding bicycles and delivering goods would definitely be considerable in the future.

A pound of fish is wholesaled to them for one or two cents, and they travel to the countryside to exchange for purchases. Sometimes the price of a pound of large fish can even double or triple.

If there is a wedding held in that place, you can make a lot of money in one go.

In the early 1980s, most people did not know how to do business, because doing business would not only be despised by most people, but also meet all kinds of people.

If a person has a stable job, he will never consider going into business.

At this time, all materials were controlled by the state, and even if you wanted to do business, you needed to have something to sell. It is for this reason that urban people don’t like doing business, let alone being that kind of capitalist roader.

The situation is different for farmers in the suburbs. Not only do farmers in the suburbs have little land, but they also have no other income. They depend on the weather and the year. If the year is good, they just have more food to feed their families.

If the year is bad, the family won't even be able to open the pot.

If you sell fish in various places in Zhongxin Company, your daily income is enough to exceed that of senior workers in the city. As long as you can endure the hardship, the money you earn before the autumn harvest will definitely be more than twice your annual income, and not more than that.

few.

If you stay at home in the summer, money will never fall from the sky like pie.

Li Zhongxin doesn't have very high requirements for people like them. They collect fish from Zhongxin Company every day at the wholesale price, and when they go to outside villages, towns or places farther away, they sell it at the retail price.

The pricing mechanism set by Li Zhongxin is very simple. The retail price can be increased according to the distance of the journey. However, the price increase must have a prerequisite, that is, it must be below the average price of local fish and never higher than the local fish price.

price.

If you want to exchange something, as long as it is grain, non-staple food or something with a lot of money from the Ming and Qing Dynasties or early years, discounts can be given to the exchanger.

These people who ride to various towns and villages to sell fish have to go to the post offices of each township and establish good relations with the people in the post offices. As long as there are remaining zodiac tickets in the post offices, they must tell the Zhongxin Company about this.

Meanwhile, Zhongxin Company will send personnel to the post office to purchase zodiac tickets.

Originally, Li Zhongxin only wanted to buy the monkey ticket, because after all, only the monkey ticket is the most valuable in later generations, and the price has also increased the most.

However, Li Zhongxin also knew that when the monkey tickets started to become valuable, the chicken tickets in 1981 and the dog tickets in 1982 also kept rising, but in the end, only the monkey tickets took the lead.

At this time, Li Zhongxin has a lot of spare money in his hands. It is definitely better to turn all this money into stamps that can quickly increase in value.

Now he can buy a stamp for eight cents a piece. When he spends the money in a few years, the price of each stamp will increase by dozens of dollars, even if it doesn't increase much.

In 1982, there was a large proportion of stamps starting with T and J in various post offices. These post offices were very different from the big post offices in the city.

In the 1980s, stamp collectors began to appear one after another in big cities. At this time, having enough food was a problem in towns and villages. Although there were some who wanted to follow the trend and engage in stamp collecting, there were also a few

Rich people will buy some stamps for free, but there is no comparison between the ability to buy stamps and the city.

At this time, the more rural the post office, the more various stamps will be left.

Jiangcheng is already considered a remote area, and the villages and towns below Jiangcheng are even more representative of remote areas. It is precisely because of this situation that although the funds Li Zhongxin receives from fishing every day are quite generous, there is almost no money left.

In addition to stamps and old objects, Li Zhongxin also told those who went to the villages and towns to pay attention to collecting some rural game and hazelnut mushrooms.

In the early 1980s, you had to use tickets to buy everything, and many things could not be bought with money. Now there are things that can be exchanged. Li Zhongxin feels that some exchanges must be carried out, at least to make some exchanges possible for his family and people around him.

People eat some rare things.

After his rebirth, what Li Zhongxin wanted to do most was to make his family happy. He bought a TV and had spiritual food. The rest had to be found in material matters.

Although Jiangcheng is not a famous historical city and is not comparable to the capital city or other areas, no matter how small the child is, it is still a piece of meat. For the sake of a happy life in the future, Li Zhongxin still needs to make such a choice.

At this time, things like the Great Qing Dynasty Dragon Ticket and the Motherland Are Red are no longer available on the market, but the Monkey Ticket has not yet been recognized by people at this time.

Monkey stamps were the first set of zodiac stamps issued in 1980. At that time, after the postal company issued them, they were not recognized by the people because stamps were meant to send credit after all. At this time, people only paid attention to the face value of the stamps.

.

In the 1980s, there were very few telephones. Most people could not afford to install a telephone or make phone calls. The method of contact in this era basically relied on writing letters.

Monkey stamps are red with black background, and the printing is very beautiful. Because it is common for stamp collectors to steal letters randomly, many people are afraid that using such a stamp to send letters will prevent the recipient from receiving them.
