In the next few days, Hong Yanwu and others continued to collect sea cucumbers separately.
Because of the incentive effect of banknotes, the two brothers "Sanjizi" and "Xiapaizi" had endless energy, threw off their arms and worked hard, almost destroying all the "Haichengzi" they knew.
Ran all over.
Seeing how hard they worked, the "general" naturally understood how the two brothers wanted to make extra money, so he took the initiative to give in after only one day of work and refused to give up.
But even so, because "Sanjizi" and "Xiapaizi" were in the same social circles, they still had to come to the door several times. For this reason, the two of them simply discussed it privately and divided the area to avoid it.
This meaningless "internal competition" has been eliminated.
In the end, "Sanjiuzi" and "Xianpaizi" harvested a total of more than 180 kilograms of sea cucumbers. If you include the general's head, which collected more than 50 kilograms, it would be 240 kilograms.
As for Hong Yanwu, he only went to "Lao Daoyu" to take him to many of those stores. He didn't bargain with them at all. He just collected about 40 kilograms and stopped. His intelligence is more reflected in
After three days of selling sea cucumbers, I was thinking about how to get some diving goggles according to "Ba's" request.
The first business of selling sea cucumbers was absolutely smooth.
On the agreed day, the hotel guests who had established friendships took the initiative to come to inquire about the results. As a result, Hong Yanwu easily broke his own sales record.
He sold all the 150 kilograms of low-grade sea cucumbers he had newly collected, and still sold 35 kilograms of high-grade sea cucumbers at a high price.
In the last accounting, after deducting all costs, not only did the net profit of the public account increase to 2,639 yuan and 71 cents, but a total of 120 kilograms of high-grade light dried ginseng was also taken away.
But even so, because the "general" and the others had already expected this, they were happy and excited, but they did not show the complete disbelief of surprise like last time. Their response was
He took Hong Yanwu out to have a big drink, and drank him down under the guise of condolences to celebrate.
As for the second thing about diving goggles, it is really difficult to get it done. Because it is recognized by all mariners as a big problem.
As mentioned before, water goggles are all homemade and are not sold in sports stores these days. The biggest difficulty in making homemade water goggles is where to get the rubber and suitable glass for making water goggles.
There are some rubber shoe repair stalls. It only costs 20 cents to buy a piece of rubber. However, the problem is that it is either thick or hard or thin and soft. In most cases, it can only be used reluctantly. Once you dive deep, it is easy to leak. The water goggles you make can only be counted once.
Taste.
Suitable glass is even more scarce. If it is thin, it will be fragile. If it is thick, it will become fragile. The most suitable glass is only four centimeters thick. However, glass of this size is extremely rare. Almost all the glass you can see in Bincheng is from Japan.
The glass produced by the "East Asia Glass Kiln" during the Japanese rule was no longer available after liberation.
In addition, after decades of wind and rain, it is extremely difficult to find this kind of glass for ordinary people's windows. Even if there are two pieces of glass, they have long been disassembled by "sea bumpers" to make water mirrors. It is almost as if
Extinct. The probability of finding this kind of glass again is basically the same as the probability of discovering a gold mine.
Therefore, this is really a nearly unsolvable proposition. None of the "generals" gave any hope, thinking that Hong Yanwu could solve it, so from the beginning, they advised Hong Yanwu not to take it seriously.
"Sanjizi" starts from human feelings.
"I know that boy Baju best. He is not a fussy person. He was just joking with you. Don't mind it!"
"Xiaipizi" considers practical benefits.
"Your ability is obvious. What's the water mirror? I don't believe it. Who among you can't deal with money? When the money is flashed, they will definitely look at you as if they were looking at a beautiful woman!"
The words of "general" are the most truthful and domineering.
"You, you're tired of selling so many sea cucumbers. You'd better take a good rest and don't worry about this. I'm here for anything. I'll leave you alone. If you come to be my home, I'll take care of you.
The home of those boys!"
But although Hong Yanwu was grateful for the kindness of the three people, he still refused to give up. He still had his own reasons.
"After all, everyone is watching. If I can't do it, I will ask others to listen to me. It's still a bit unjust. 'General', you can convince everyone with orders. I believe that. But you can force others on you.
But the prestige is damaged. Coercion cannot last long, and if it fails, it will make everyone divided. If this continues, they may be able to listen at first, but then they will probably half-listen and half-not listen, and in the end they will not listen at all.
I think it’s better for me to think of a way to give it a try. To say the least, it’s also to enhance the productivity of our group, right? If it really doesn’t work, you guys can help me speak up..."
Regarding Hong Yanwu's words, the three senior "Hai Bangzi" recognized it and were convinced. However, they still did not believe that Hong Yanwu could achieve any actual gains. After all, there is a gap between ideals and reality, so how can anything be done?
Are things going well?
But unexpectedly, life is something that most people can't imagine. After this conversation, not even a day and a half later, Hong Yanwu put the seven large pieces of rubber and three large pieces of "Japanese glass" he had obtained in front of several people.
in front of.
Not only are the pieces suitable for use, but this quantity is enough to make more than a dozen water mirrors. In other words, even doubling the number of "soldiers and horses" is enough. This leaves the "general" and the others, where can they be?
How can we remain indifferent?
As a result, the eyes of "General", "Sanjizi" and "Xiapaizi" were shocked again. They once again felt the vibration like a magnitude 7 earthquake.
"Sanjizi" was shouted on the spot.
"Oh my gosh, am I not dreaming! When will we be able to get such a large piece of 'Japanese glass'?"
"Shrimp crawler" was also amazed.
"It's absolutely amazing! You can still do things that we can't do! There is nothing in this world that you can't do!"
The general couldn't hold himself any longer and couldn't wait to urge him.
"Tell me, how did you get it? I guess you can't know the Japanese..."
Unfortunately, the more anxious these three people were, the less anxious Hong Yanwu was. At the critical moment, he looked at three pairs of eyes staring at him with full of inquiry, and actually smiled proudly, pretending to keep it secret, but he had to say that he wanted to keep it secret.
The mystery will be revealed when the other sea creatures get together.
This made the "general" and the others extremely depressed. If we go by current terms, they would have turned from fans to enemies immediately. They all wished they had Hong Yanwu tortured and forced to find out the inside story.
But Hong Yanwu was not stupid. After saying this, he took the opportunity to urinate and escape without giving them any time to react. He didn't come back until the evening, and he also bought three pairs of flippers, saying they were to make up for the team. This time, it was actually
The "generals" who had not slept and were holding back on blocking him were completely speechless.
So the next day, even Hong Yanwu was still clenching his teeth and refusing to spit. The "general" and the others were aroused by the suspense in their hearts, and they were too embarrassed to use violence anymore. They could only go out with the materials and find someone to do it.
Water mirror.
It wasn't until they came back with more than a dozen finished water mirrors in the evening that they finally figured out after a day's work that they would open a breakthrough from "Xiao Baizi" who followed Hong Yanwu to get the water mirrors. If that didn't work, they decided to pull Hong Yanwu to try again.
Let's go have a drink and let this guy tell the truth even if we both lose.
Unexpectedly, "Xiao Baizi" had secretly received Hong Yanwu's instructions and asked each person for an "information fee" of ten yuan before he could tell them what was going on.
As a result, the three of them endured the pain and paid. After hearing what happened, they slapped their thighs and sighed together.
"How do you people in the capital grow your heads? You can all imagine such a destructive trick!"
