Earning twenty-five dollars a day may sound like a lot, but to Yu Tian, it can only be regarded as small money.
What he really wants to do is to buy and sell between cities.
Take advantage of information gaps to earn greater profits.
After you save enough funds, you can expand your business.
In the 1980s, communications were very underdeveloped.
Not to mention the Internet, even making a phone call is considered a luxury.
Information gaps are business opportunities.
As long as you buy good goods and go back to the provincial capital, it won't be that difficult to make money.
Yu Tian now has nearly one hundred yuan in his hand.
He planned to save more, and when he got around 500, he would take the train and set off for Yicheng.
Yicheng is more than 2,000 kilometers away from Spring City.
Although they are in the same era, their respective developments are completely different.
There was no shortage of legendary stories in Yicheng in the 1980s.
From the initial exchange of chicken feathers for sugar, it only took 40 years to become the world's righteous city in the 21st century.
With the reform and opening up.
Yicheng even made a move that can be called "risking the injustice of the world".
The government specially opened up a new site near Yihu as a small commodity trading market.
This was also the prototype of the first-generation Uiseong small commodity trading market.
What's particularly exciting is...
Yicheng even issued an announcement: farmers are allowed to do business, long-distance sales are allowed, and competition through multiple channels is allowed.
This way.
The small businessmen who used to carry their burdens and wander around the streets no longer have to hide in Tibet and can trade openly and openly in the market.
"Where are you going?"
When Li Wanrou heard that Yu Tian was going on a long trip, she quickly asked.
"Yicheng, do you still remember the vendor who sold socks in the provincial capital before? I am going to go to Yicheng to wholesale some good products and let him help sell them when I come back."
Yu Tian looked up at the roof of the shed, thinking about the days ahead.
"Yicheng... I've heard of it. Is it too far away? Do you know anything about it? Is it okay if we have it there?"
In this era, there were no mobile online newspapers, and Li Wanrou's information was still very limited.
"Don't know much..."
Yu Tian closed his eyes, "But it's not a lot. At least, it's no problem to make money."
In addition to socks, Yu Tian is also familiar with other things that will become popular soon.
Bell bottoms, toad glasses, patent leather shoes.
These things are the clothes that future trendsetters will like.
It can be said that whoever can complete this set is definitely the most fashionable in the 1980s.
It's just that their wholesale prices are relatively high.
In comparison, it is not as profitable as socks.
Moreover, these things will not become popular so quickly in the short term. There will be enough time to implement them in the future.
In short.
Everything has to wait until we get to Uicheng.
He said nothing all night and fell into a deep sleep.
Early the next morning, Yu Tian got up early, took his third brother with him, and they went straight to the county town.
In the next period of time, Yu Tian will definitely go to Yicheng for a visit.
During the business trip, the matter of selling eels must be left to the third brother.
It was necessary for him to take his third brother on a trip.
By the way, introduce yourself to these business partners and get familiar with them.
The two of them went to the noodle stall first.
After leaving twenty kilograms of eel behind, each of them had a bowl of eel silk noodles.
This is the first time for Third Brother to eat such delicious noodles.
He said that he never imagined that the eel would taste so delicious after removing the fishy smell.
"Brother!"
Yu Tian put down the bowl and shouted to the little boss, "If I don't come to deliver it in the future, my third brother will deliver it! We are from the same family!"
"OK!"
The boss agreed, "As long as the eel is reliable, it will be no problem!"
Of course the eel is no problem.
What Yu Tian sent is all good stuff.
They sort out all the dead eels to ensure quality.
After bidding farewell to their boss, the two went straight to the coal mine.
After entering the hospital, the third brother was still a little uneasy.
He had never been to such a large factory, and he was used to staying in the village. He was a little cautious and couldn't even move his legs when he walked.
When they arrived in the backyard, Yu Tian asked his third brother to wait while he went to find Lin Changshui.
After a while.
Yu Tian and Lin Changshui were talking and laughing and walked out of the back door of the cafeteria.
"Master, let's take a look. You can inspect the goods first!"
Yu Tian took Lin Changshui to the cart.
"Yeah! Not bad! It's almost the same as what you brought that day! Come on the scale and weigh it, and I'll write you a note directly!"
Lin Changshui was very satisfied.
After saying this, he ordered someone to carry the eel into the cafeteria. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the eel weighed too much and he typed a note with his own hands.
One hundred and ten pounds.
Purchased at a price of 40 cents, totaling 44 yuan.
The third brother heard it clearly and his eyes turned green.
He couldn't believe it.
Is it so easy to make money?
How much can you earn in a year if you work hard on the land?
On average, it’s only ten yuan a month!
But Yu Tian collected forty-four on this day.
After deducting the capital, he still has more than twenty dollars to earn.
This is only money for a day, not a month...
The third brother squeezed his thigh hard to make sure he was not in a dream, and then in a trance, he followed Yu Tian and Lin Changshui out of the back door of the cafeteria.
"Master! I will come back tomorrow and go back first! Oh, by the way, after a while, my third brother may come to deliver the goods himself!"
Yu Tian and Lin Changshui shook hands solemnly.
The moment of shaking hands.
The rebates that should be given have also been transferred.
Lin Changshui put it in his pocket, shook his head, and gave Yu Tian a meaningful look, "Yu Tian, it seems that our master and apprentice will not be able to play chess in the future...right?"
"I can do it!"
Yu Tian smiled and said, "Master, wait until you are free! You are still young, I will be free after a while, and I will accompany you well then!"
"You brat, hurry up and leave. It will still be the same time tomorrow. I'll wait for you!"
Lin Changshui waved his hand. The money in his pocket was more practical than anything else.
An extra two or three yuan a day would amount to sixty or seventy yuan a month, which was less than half of his salary.
After Yu Tian said goodbye to Lin Changshui, he took the note to the cashier and exchanged money.
After he went out, he did some calculations and found that he had earned a total of twenty-five seven yuan this morning.
It happened that right at the entrance of the coal mine, the two sold the eggs again.
Including these seven or eight yuan, the profit is more than thirty.
He held a lot of cents in his hand, which made the third brother very envious.
Yu Tian checked the money, took out a big unity ticket and a few cents, and stuffed it into the third brother's hand, "Third brother, I'll give you half of it. These fifteen dollars are yours. You can spend them."
"ah?"
The third brother was immediately stunned, "This... this is not okay! I can't ask for so much! Brother... you think about everything, and you find the people. I... I am a big boss, just
It’s just a matter of trying your best, but it’s really not possible!”
His hands were trembling.
Trembling, after thinking for a long time, I made up my mind, took out five yuan and put it in my pocket.
These five dollars are already a lot for him.
After returning the rest of the money to Yu Tian, he still felt embarrassed.
"also."
Yu Tian took the money back and said, "This little money is nothing. I will need the money in a while, so you might as well leave it here first! When I make a lot of money later, I will share it with you! But remember one thing...
."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Tian's eyes became profound.
"What's the matter?"
The third brother blinked, wondering what Yu Tian was going to say.
