Chapter 40 Cents

July 2, 1977, Saturday.

Finally, the day came for the "Hai Bangzi" people to make an appointment to meet.

At nine o'clock in the morning on this day, everyone rushed to the house of "Old Saury" as promised and gathered together.

After so many days, everyone has basically rested, each other seems to be in good spirits, and the meeting is extremely cordial.

Needless to say, the supplies and tools buried in the sand have been dug out and brought by the few "Hai Bangzi" who did not follow them into the city. In addition, Hong Yanwu and the "General" also purchased some new supplementary supplies.

.

To talk about the state of this small group at this time, it can be said that they are "recharging their energy and ready to go". They can set off at any time with just a greeting from "General".

However, "everything is ready, all we need is the east wind." Before leaving, there is one most important thing that must be done, which is to pay the bills and distribute the money.

This is the happiest thing for poor people.

In fact, today, because of the uncontrollable quarrel between "Sanjizi" and "Xiaipizi", the atmosphere was already prepared when Hong Yanwu and "General" took stock of the sea cucumbers collected by everyone.

.

These two guys boasted about the high-end room that cost four yuan a day and showed off the huge amount of extra money they earned from collecting sea cucumbers. They even described Hong Yanwu as the God of Wealth who could turn stone into gold, which naturally made everyone appetizing.

Arrived at a high place.

The only ones who were not very happy were the two people, "Flying Crab" and "Dead Corpse", who were too naive to advance money to collect the sea cucumbers themselves.

On the contrary, "Old Saury" had great trust in Hong Yanwu. Not only did he spend all his family money to buy sea cucumbers, but he also borrowed more than 80 kilograms of light dried ginseng from other people in the fishing village, and handed over a total of 100 kilograms.

This could not help but cause "Sanjizi" to sigh repeatedly, saying "ginger is still hotter when old". He admired "old saury" for his courage, and speculated that "just with this 100 kilograms, he can earn at least 150 pounds."

". Talking about "Old Saury" made me laugh out loud.

Of course, this made "Flying Crab" and "Dead Corpse" even more angry. "Flying Crab" couldn't help but look for shortcomings sourly, saying, "You are eating, drinking and having fun in the city, and you still stay in such a high-end guest house."

, then wouldn’t it be a loss for those of us who didn’t go?”

At this time, it must be said that Hong Yanwu was indeed foresighted. So "Sanjizi" and "Xiapaizi" laughed together after hearing this.

Soon, "Xiapaizi" calmly stated the fact that all the money was paid by Hong Yanwu himself, and claimed that if he didn't believe it, he could check the "public accounts".

At this time, "Flying Crab"'s mouth was blocked on the spot, which also caused the rest of the people to be shocked.

"Bachu" and "Seagouzi" couldn't help but ask one question one after another.

"You stayed here for six days, and the room fee alone was only 48 yuan. Did he pay all this money alone?"

"Isn't this too generous? Is he willing to give it up?"

Unexpectedly, "Sanjizi" curled his lips when he heard this.

"Not to mention the rent, even the money we paid for the sea cucumbers was paid for by someone else from their own pocket at first. It was more than 900 yuan, and we paid for it without frowning. In the end, we wanted to share half of his profit, but they refused to take it.

That kind of heroism and generosity can never be faked. I am not bragging for others. Only those who follow this kind of people can succeed."

"Ba Chu" laughed again after hearing this, and thought rather disdainfully that "San Ji Zi" had been brainwashed by Hong Yanwu, and that he was helping to "advise for recruitment."

"Sanjizi" was very anxious now and immediately retorted.

"You kid, you don't know the heart of a good person. Our eldest brother is convinced. This is what eldest brother means. Besides, are you still using 'persuasion' to persuade you? You haven't forgotten what you said, right? Be careful and you will be shocked..."

"

As a result, at this time, Hong Yanwu, "General", Chen Liquan, and "Xiao Baizi" who were also going to help walked into the room. Hong Yanwu also had an account book and two stacks of banknotes in his hand, so needless to say, what follows is

It’s time to start getting things straight for everyone.

First of all, the money for stocking sea cucumbers must be paid to everyone based on the purchase price.

Since Hong Yanwu had already paid off the money of the "general" and his group in the city, the "general" personally distributed it to his brothers.

According to their old rules, "Bachu" and "Flying Crab" both received sixty yuan, and the remaining three yuan went to "Sea Hare", "Seal Dog", and "Dead Corpse". Each of them received thirty-one yuan.

.

"Lao Daoyu" took over one hundred and twenty yuan from Hong Yanwu. One thing to note is that in fact, most of it was won by Hong Yanwu from "Sanjizi" and "Bayu"

The income generated by those three hundred sea cucumbers.

Then, Hong Yanwu also wanted to pay everyone for their help in purchasing sea cucumbers.

"Ba Chu" used his own "salary" to collect six kilograms, making a small profit of ten yuan.

Because "Hai Gouzi" got along well with "Xiao Baizi", he listened to his words and boldly tried his best to collect twenty kilograms. He made thirty yuan on the spot, which was a big benefit.

The one who gained the most was, of course, the "Old Swordfish". He even bought one hundred kilograms of sea cucumbers on credit in exchange for one thousand two hundred yuan. As soon as the semi-thick stack of "Great Unity" was slapped into his hand, he was so excited

The wrinkles on his face have spread out, and he looks at least ten years younger.

To put it bluntly, according to the calculation of "Three Pounds", the price difference of "Lao Daoyu" just for collecting sea cucumbers exceeds the income from buying inventory. In this way, adding up this time and the last time he went to the city, he had a total of five

I have made more than 100 yuan in profit. Can I be unhappy?

On the contrary, the biggest losers are the clever "flying crabs" and "dead corpses". They all came empty-handed. Not only did they do no good, but each of them got a dissatisfied look from the "general". They made their heads droop and they were embarrassed.

And regret it.

After completing these two allocations, Hong Yanwu began to report to the general ledger. Due to the harvest of sea cucumbers, he added some supplies. After the latest changes in the public account, the net profit was reduced to 1,100 yuan and 70 cents.

One, barely staying at the thousand-yuan mark.

But just like this, everyone was extremely excited. Because in fact everyone knew that despite the lack of cash, the "general" in the city still had 120 kilograms of sea cucumbers in his house, and the "old saury" even dried them in his house.

The one I brought in already weighed 330 kilograms. These 550 kilograms of sea cucumbers are also money, even at the purchase price of 6,600 yuan.

For this reason, the "Hai Bang Zi" actually lost their composure to a certain extent.

"Ba Chu" was shocked on the spot and kept muttering, "So many...why are there so many..."

The eyes of the "dead corpse" also shone, "It's amazing! If we really want to sell it out again, it won't exceed 10,000 yuan, 10,000 yuan! It's enough for all of us to live on for a lifetime!"

"Seal" held his two hundred and seventy-one pieces in his hand and counted them over and over again, shouting half in horror and half in excitement.

"Is this my money? Is this all my money? That's awesome! It's awesome!"

As for the "Flying Crab", he was half-dumbfounded for a while, and then he made a calculation in his mind with a frown on his face.

In fact, the reason why the poor are poor is because their long-term efforts have not been rewarded.

This time, the sea cucumbers were actually sold at such a high price and sold in such large quantities. The profits doubled several times, which naturally made the few "sea cucumbers" who had not come to the city find it as unbelievable as a myth.

.And no matter the banknotes in hand or the figures on the accounts, they are tangible proof.

Therefore, the only thing that is unquestionable at this time is that Hong Yanwu's ability to make money is definitely the best in the world in the hearts of the "Hai Bangzi". This makes everyone look at Hong Yanwu with a kind of admiration.

, no one does not feel that the future is bright.

And the greater excitement was yet to come. As Hong Yanwu waved his hand, "Xiaobaizi" brought another big bag. After opening the package, three brand new pairs of flippers and fifteen water mirrors were placed on the table.

Hong Yanwu immediately announced that the three pairs of flippers were his gifts to "sea dogs", "sea rabbits" and "dead corpses". The same goes for water mirrors. People who don't have them, or people who feel that the water mirrors in their hands are not easy to use, all

Can be replaced and supplemented.

To say that the shock caused by this scene was no less than the impact of a storm on the sea.

Not to mention the "sea dog", the "sea rabbit" and the "dead body" were stunned together. For a long time, I couldn't believe that this was true.

That "Ba Chu" almost jumped onto the roof. Only then did he understand what "Sanjizi" meant by half of what he just said.

"Oh my god! You are so capable! The water mirror I lost to you went through all kinds of troubles to beg for help. Finally, I used two hundred sea cucumbers to beg a waiter from the 'Nanshan Hotel' and secretly unloaded them.

The glass on the office door is made of glass. You just made fifteen water mirrors, which is too... too much... tell me! How did you get all these rubber and glass!"

"Sanjianzi" was really frightened when he saw "Bachu", and burst out laughing on the spot. He didn't even let Hong Yanwu speak, and consciously made the answer to the mystery "bought" from "Xiaobaizi" public.

I bet Hong Yanwu, this kid, has been thinking about making water mirrors since he first came to the city, and he has a very lively mind, which is not ordinary.

Let’s talk about rubber first. On the day of selling sea cucumbers, Hong Yanwu was smoking on the balcony of the guest house and looking at the busy street scene downstairs, he suddenly got an idea.

What's going on?

Quite a few cars passed under his nose. There were "Jiefang", "Gaz" and "Jeep".

The fenders behind the wheels of the cars were either made of iron or rubber. As he looked at them, his eyes were fixed on the rubber fenders behind the wheels of the "Gaz" car.

As soon as he thought about it, "Isn't this a good leather for making water mirrors?" he made up his mind. As a result, that night, he bought two pairs of large scissors, and went to the parking lot of the train station with Chen Liquan and selected them.

Two "Gaz" cars started to attack.

Unexpectedly, just when they were almost completely successful, a flashlight beam came from a distance, and two patrolling policemen approached from far away. So they had to retreat in time, and in the end they only got seven large pieces of rubber.

Secondly, let’s talk about glass. It was also influenced by the cutting of rubber, so Hong Yanwu didn’t bother to put his mind into places that were “reachable” for the common people.

He was thinking about it, and suddenly he remembered the "Victory Guest House" where he stayed last time. It was an old Russian-style building that had passed through the Japanese occupation period. The most important thing was that it had been used during the "movement" and had not been damaged at all.

, as a result, the glass on the window is most likely made in Japan.

So the next morning, he took "Xiaobaizi" for a trip and asked "Xiaobaizi" to pretend to beat the birds on the tree. With one move, "The Goddess Scattered Flowers", three windows on the first floor collapsed.

.

Of course, Xiaobaizi's slingshot was so good, it only broke the corners of the glass.

Then, Hong Yanwu didn't even need people from the guest house to look for him. He took the initiative to come to apologize. At the same time, he also asked "Xiaobaizi" to invite a master from the glass shop to replace all the glass in the three windows of the guest house at his own expense.

.

When he finally left, Hong Yanwu, who was carrying three large glasses, was satisfied and gave the manager two boxes of good cigarettes. The manager had already bought Hong Yanwu's sea cucumbers at a low price, so they already had a relationship with him, so this made him even more embarrassed.

In the words of "Xiao Baizi", the manager completely regarded them as good people and sent them outside the gate. He told Hong Yanwu to stay in their guest house next time he came to Bincheng. He also said that the rent and invoices would be easy to negotiate.

"Hahaha!"

After "Sanjizi" finished telling the whole story, almost all "Haichangzi" suddenly realized it and were extremely happy.

"Ba Chu" laughed so hard that he gasped.

"Is this okay? You guys are really bad! But you are indeed smart! I admire you, I admire you..."

"Old Saury" pointed at Hong Yanwu and trembled with laughter.

"You are a bad boy. You are definitely smart, but why don't you follow the right path? I don't know whether I should praise you or scold you..."
