[Split]
In a blink of an eye, it is the New Year again, and my family has ushered in two happy events: one is that the eldest brother and the second brother's household registration have been moved back to the city one after another, and the other is that after the old house is demolished, my family has divided a large apartment on the second floor.
Simple house management is said to be a large building, but it is only more than 40 square meters in total. There are six families on each floor. When you leave the room, opposite the aisle is a unique kitchen as big as a palm. Six shared toilets and bathrooms, each up to 1.2 square meters. The large apartment is just a 9 square meter suite than the middle apartment, which is used for the eldest brother's wedding room.
Seeing the bright room and the snow-white walls, I was really happy for a while. But gradually I lost interest in all of this.
I am trapped in a world that belongs only to me every day, like being imprisoned in an iron house tightened on all sides, feeling so depressed that I can't breathe.
Mom and sister and second brother slept in the front room and set up two beds. I slept alone in the back with a table in it. It seems to be quiet, but it is far less warm than the original warmth of the family crowded in a 12-square-meter room. Although I can think about some questions quietly by myself, the more I think about it, the less I can't sleep, and I often stay awake all night.
Zong Xin came to the door again. This time he was very different from last time: his hair was combed smoothly, mousse was sprayed, a brightly colored wool scarf hung around his neck, a red tie tie tied inside, a brand new suit, even the trademark on his cuffs was cut off, and the leather shoes on his feet were polished shiny. He also carried two bags of apples, pears and other fruits in his hand.
He greeted me warmly, and I just responded lightly, "Here you come!" and led him to the front room. It just so happened that the elder brother and the second brother were at home. When they saw someone coming from their hometown in Wenzhou , they all gathered around Zongxin and started chatting.
"I heard that Wenzhou is very open now, and everyone is doing business. What are you doing?" Brother Honglei began to ask.
"It's all about doing, clothing, leather shoes, luggage, cosmetics, and everything you do to make money. I went to Shanghai to resell cigarettes some time ago, but now, I'm doing watch assembly..."
"Isn't it illegal to resell cigarettes? That's speculation!" I exclaimed.
"Now I don't mention speculation anymore. This crime will be cancelled on Criminal Law ." Hongfeng, the second brother of the second brother of the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers student in the Department of Economics of Fudan University in Shanghai, said, "You talk about how to resell cigarettes first!"
only listened to Zong Xin's words: "Cigarettes were originally supplied by tickets, but later Shanghai canceled cigarette tickets first and released the supply. No tickets for Qianmen, Peony, and China are needed. They can be bought in every store, and Wenzhou is still relying on tickets. Wenzhou people with excellent thresholds immediately found that there is money to make money here.
So, they grouped together to approve Shanghai cigarettes in boxes and sold at a bargain price, and sold them in the Wenzhou market with a higher price. The business is good. Ah! The price difference here is big: a peony brand cigarette, for example, only earn 1 cent, then a pack of 20 pieces is earning 2 yuan; one box is earning 20 yuan, one box is 120 yuan, and one box is 1200 yuan, and 10 boxes is 1200 yuan. If you get to big front door , China is more than this. If you count the round-trip fee and accommodation and food expenses, you can earn at least a net profit of 700 or 800 yuan in one trip!
of course, it was relatively hard at the beginning. There was no place to live, so you could only sleep in the waiting room of the train station, and there was no good food, so you could only eat cold steamed buns. Later, it was done. We specially packed the room in the hotel, and then concentrated the cigarettes we bought in the hotel, and packed them in the hotel. When the quantity was enough, we packed the cigarettes in the hotel. This was much more troublesome.
"Well, Shanghai people are also very smart. Watching Wenzhou people buy cigarettes in boxes, won’t this affect Shanghai’s market supply? There is a limit on purchases for cigarettes, and each person can only buy up to one at a time in the same store. We also have a way to buy one in this store and then at that store. Huangpu District , Hongkou District , Jing'an District , Xuhui District , etc., and then you will get enough!
"So Shanghai people set up checkpoints at the train station and long-distance bus station. Any goods sent to Wenzhou must be checked. Once it is found to be cigarettes, they will be fined.We also have a way: first send the goods to Hangzhou, Huzhou , Jiaxing and other places, and then send people there to pick up the goods, and then transport them to Wenzhou, but I still can't control it..."
I sat next to me and couldn't listen, and shouted to Zong Xin: "Are you still a wrong way! "Zong Xinzhong blushed and just murmured, "I only know that I'm hungry and want to have a meal..."
"Hey, let Zong Xin continue talking! We can see how Wenzhou people discover business opportunities and how they use their business minds. "Hongfeng encouraged.
Zong Xin continued to say: "But with the development of the economy, Wenzhou has also canceled the supply of tickets, so cigarettes cannot be made, and it has been replaced by other businesses. "
" Well, you mentioned earlier that you can assemble a watch. Can you still assemble a watch? "Hong Lei's eyes widened.
" said it was assembly, but in fact it was changing the strap. My brother has been in the Northeast and must have known that the Hongqi watch of Dandong is good, but the strap is artificial leather, the style is old, and the sales are not good. The parallel watch straps from Hong Kong in Guangdong are available in all styles and colors. We went to Dandong to enter the watch and the strap from Guangdong. After installing it, the watch will be sold very well and the price will double! Seeing that we had money to make money, we rented the site and hired workers..."
"That's it! Most workers have formal jobs and don’t have to go to work? "Hongfeng asked in confusion.
"See it! During the day, I went to work and grind the grinder during the day, and at night I went to my small workshop to do private work. The salary is more than they earn in the unit, who doesn’t want to do it? 「
As Zong Xin took out a watch from the bag inside the suit and handed it to me: "Hongyi, please wear it! "I barely took it and put it on my hand. The stainless steel strap was shining and responded, "Well, it looks pretty! We haven't seen this style here. "But he was muttering in his heart, isn't this digging for the corner of the collective economy? So he pulled down the watch and returned it to Zongxin.
Zongxin said: "Okay, just wear it, it's for you! Sorry, I don’t know that the two princes are here too. I will bring them to you next time. ”
I said bluntly: “What are you doing for me? I don't need it! From home to factory every day. What watch should I wear from the factory to the school? ! "
Zong Xin smiled and said, "You always have to go out. It's so inconvenient without a watch! ”
I said firmly: “I said no, just don’t! "I threw my watch on the concrete floor. The glass cover on the surface suddenly shattered.
I felt an inexplicable fire rushing up, and I turned my head and walked out of the room. Zong Xin stood there blankly, his eldest brother and second brother were around him and saying something.
