It’s finally the harvest season! Since the stock of sea cucumbers in his hands is too large, Hong Yanwu is no longer the one to take the lead this time, but all five parties are working together!
On the first step, he walked with "Xiaobaizi" to the guest house as before.
On the second route, he asked Chen Liquan and "General" to escort "Sanjizi" and "Xiapaizi" and go to the small market to buy bulk goods together.
The third way was that he went to the "old fat man" again and asked him to introduce his connections and acquaintances in Bincheng to sell goods abroad at the standard of five yuan per catty.
In the fourth route, he also used the same conditions to mobilize Han Ying, Xiang Hong and Fan Gang to find buyers through their local connections in Bincheng.
In addition, Xiang Hong is not only Han Ying's friend. She has been hooking up with "Xiapaizi" since the wedding, and is now considered a quasi-family member of "Hai Pengzi". With dual identities, she is naturally more at ease.
.
As for the last step, Hong Yanwu also made an agreement with Manager Xie, willing to exchange four kilograms for a box at a fixed ratio to get some Maotai liquor through his network.
In this way, Hong Yanwu mobilized all the existing connections he could use in Bincheng!
What he wants is nothing else but profit in the safest way, which is the word "quick"!
On the other hand, the market situation is just as described by several "sea bumpers", the feverish temperature can almost boil water.
Because there is a saying that goes well, "The people are the vast ocean." Once they discovered that there was something profitable in it, tens of thousands of citizens quickly participated in it in a short period of time. The extensive private funds were like an endless stream.
Like rivers, they spontaneously and consciously converge into the "vast ocean" of the sea cucumber market.
At the same time, one after another exaggerated stories about sea cucumbers bringing wealth began to appear among the public.
For example, an old man used his son's money to marry his wife and bought ten pounds at a price of sixty yuan per pound. He resold it a day later and made a profit of sixty yuan. But he regretted it afterwards because the price immediately
He's almost seventy!
Others said that there was a "sea cucumber" who owed a lot of debt and managed to save fifty kilograms of sea cucumbers this year just to pay off the debt.
He always wanted to sell it at a high price, but he didn't expect that before the National Day, the sea cucumbers became so expensive that they became sick and were taken to the hospital for emergency treatment.
But what he didn't expect was that after he returned home to recuperate for a month, the price of sea cucumbers actually rose to sky-high prices again. Now he made a fortune. Not only did he pay off his old debt, but he also got 3,000 yuan in vain.
You will never have to "touch the sea" again in your life.
Stories like this with strong psychological implications are being created and fermented every day, and the first people to invest are all leading by example, using their own evidence of profit to continue to lure more people into it.
As a result, people's greed was inflamed like a raging fire. Driven by the social psychology of getting rich overnight, a "herding effect" was formed, and the price of sea cucumbers also produced an effect like the uranium fission of an atomic bomb.
Not to mention seventy yuan, eighty yuan, ninety yuan, even sea cucumbers crossed the one hundred yuan price mark without much effort, heading towards the boundless and vast universe!
But the more this happens, the more people are involved in reselling sea cucumbers, and the prices of sea cucumbers become more and more abnormal.
To be honest, Hong Yanwu tried every possible means to stock up on three and a half tons of dried sea cucumbers in advance from the fragile market. Even he himself could not accurately estimate how much of a catalyst it played in fueling the situation.
Anyway, under the accumulation of various factors, he did rewrite the history of Bincheng, allowing Bincheng people to replace Changchun people, becoming the first time after the founding of the People's Republic of China to experience what it means to be a "crazy for money" mass group.
In fact, even though Hong Yanwu and the others put sea cucumbers into the market without reservation, the price of sea cucumbers showed no signs of stopping. And they didn't have to worry about selling any goods they released.
Because whether they are business travelers in guest houses or ordinary citizens in small markets, almost everyone is rushing to buy sea cucumbers at any cost.
The most typical portrayal is the entrance to the seven major markets in Bincheng.
This place is crowded and bustling every day. There are many times more people speculating on sea cucumbers outside the market than there are people buying other agricultural products inside. And the main force here has also rapidly transformed from retired elderly people and housewives to young and strong working people.
Many people don't go to work anymore, either absent from work or taking leave, but they just spend every day here enjoying themselves.
If you think about it, you will know that a person in Bincheng usually only earns a few tens of yuan a month, but a few kilograms of sea cucumbers can earn a year's salary after being resold several times. This is not much better than going to work!
And this is definitely not a fantasy, it is not a moon in the water or a flower in the mirror, it is visible and tangible. Too many people have become role models in this regard!
No one bothered to think deeply about how low-priced light-dried sea cucumbers that could be seen everywhere before the "National Day" turned into a rare and highly sought-after "silver ingot" in such a short period of time.
No one cares about how high sea cucumbers will rise, and no one thinks about whether the current price is reasonable. Everyone only cares about one thing - where to find more sea cucumbers in stock to resell at a profit!
This fanatical pursuit of sea cucumbers has even spread to official circles.
Many people say that when doing things now, it is useless to give any gifts, just give sea cucumbers, sea cucumbers are money! And it is big money, money that maintains value! It is gold, it is hard currency!
Driven by this expectation of speculation, the entire Bincheng fell into an extraordinary fantasy and madness. Folks even began to spread a saying, "Although there are countless treasures in the sea, only sea cucumbers are heirlooms."
November 1977 has become an event that will never be forgotten in the memory of Bincheng people.
There was a boiling, a frenzy!
Bincheng is crazy, and so is Sea Cucumber!
Of course, under the effect of such huge wealth and the formation of extraordinary excitement and fanaticism, a large number of various criminal cases triggered by this also appeared.
It is said that an old man spent all his money to buy ten kilograms of sea cucumbers and hid them at home to hoard them for profit. However, they were stolen one night and he died of anger immediately.
I also heard that an accountant from an organization spent tens of thousands of public funds to participate in the speculation of sea cucumbers and made thousands of dollars after several successful transactions. Unfortunately, he was targeted after a market transaction and was robbed by a gangster with a knife on his way home.
People were stabbed to death and the money was gone.
These are real tragedies caused by this money feast, and they are all real cases that happened in the lives of people in Bincheng.
But this situation is like the associated mine of silver and copper. It will happen every time there is a violent upheaval in social wealth, and there is no way to eradicate it. Even Hong Yanwu, who had anticipated this for a long time, could not completely avoid it.
For example, one night a burglar entered the house of "Old Swordfish". After climbing over the wall and entering the courtyard, the boy rummaged around in the two warehouses where "Old Swordfish" had stored sea cucumbers.
It must be said that this boy was also unlucky, although he used the medicinal buns to stupefy the watchdog of "Old Saury". However, after the "National Day", "Old Saury"'s daughter Shao Juan, who went to the countryside to join the queue, came home to visit relatives and is staying at home these days.
It happened that this girl was still suffering from neurasthenia, slept very lightly, and was more alert than a dog. Whenever she heard a noise in the courtyard, she would get up and take a look. Just when the thief was about to leave without finding anything, and just touched the courtyard wall, his whereabouts were revealed.
Shao Juan was timid, and as soon as she saw a dark figure, her throat started to tremble with an "ouch", but the "Old Saury" couple also woke up because of this.
Even though "Old Sabry" was old, he was born with a "steel fork". While letting his wife take care of their daughter, he picked up the harpoon and went after the black shadow.
The thief was not stupid. Of course he ran away in a hurry. But because he was too anxious, he squatted down when he jumped off the courtyard wall and got wet on his feet. He didn't run a mile before he was chased away by "Old Swordfish".
One is bare-handed and has wounds on his legs, while the other is angry and holding a harpoon, so it goes without saying who wins and who loses.
"Old Sabry" started with a fork, and with a swing of his arm, he knocked down his opponent. Then he kicked him, but unexpectedly, just when he was about to stab the kid's thigh, he found that this person turned out to be "Flying"
crab"……
The final result of this incident was that the daughter of "Old Saury" was frightened and fell ill and was admitted to the hospital. However, "Old Saury" released the "Flying Crab" before the alarmed villagers from the fishing village arrived.
Hong Yanwu learned about this when "Old Saury" came to the city to ask for money for his daughter's medical treatment.
"Old Swordfish" explained to him at the time that he let "Flying Crab" go not because he was soft-hearted at the time, but because "Flying Crab" was extremely shameless and actually threatened him with everyone's hoarding of sea cucumbers.
I was also afraid that this kid would be blocked by people from the fishing village and sent to the police station. Telling everything would ruin everyone's affairs, so I had to let this kid go.
Hong Yanwu fully agreed with this and felt that the handling method of "Old Saury" was very correct.
In order to eliminate future troubles without making any mistakes, on the one hand, he told the "general" about the incident, and asked "Ba Octopus", "Seal Gouzi" and "Dead Corpse" to search for the whereabouts of "Flying Crab" separately. On the other hand, he tightened his grip on the matter.
The process of selling sea cucumbers.
But he didn't expect that all his calculations and precautions against the "flying crab" would be in vain. This kid has not been seen since, and he has not even returned to the fishing village.
And not long after, there were rumors in the fishing village that the "flying crab" was eager to make money after the weather cleared, and ventured to the port to fish for sea cucumbers. As a result, he was shot by the Hong Kong police and died of his injuries in the sea.
Because of this, "Flying Crab"'s mother cried for a whole year.
"General" and other "sea friends" were also devastated by this. After that, they sent money and gifts to visit several times, but every time they were turned away by "Flying Crab" mother.
The old lady resented them, blaming them for leading the "Flying Crab" into this path in the first place, and even more blaming them for driving the "Flying Crab" away and letting him go his own way without paying any attention to him.
Alas, sometimes things in the world are indeed difficult to distinguish clearly...
