Chapter 6 Entering the City for Business Opportunities

Ten yuan is equivalent to spending five or six working days in the production team. Now the monthly income of state-owned employees is only fifty-six. Yang Yu can earn more than thirty yuan this day, and it is almost 1,000 yuan a month.

One thousand yuan is not a small amount in 2017. Now, you can buy 20 kilograms of potatoes or ten kilograms of pork for one yuan. Think about it, this purchasing power is scary enough.

However, Yang Yu was not satisfied with this. He wanted to do a big business and go to Beijing to buy a few buildings, and this income was simply not enough.

The next morning, the chicken cried, and Yang Yu groped to get up. With the faint light of the oil lamp, he put the loach and eel into the bag that he had filled the cigarette yesterday, closed the door lightly, and rushed to the market town with the faint luminous light.

Because he left early, when Yang Yu arrived at the market town, it was not yet dawn, and there was a vague hawking sound near the entrance of the market. They were all farmers from all over the countryside. The brigade did not have enough food to eat, so they could only use some things raised by their own and planted to exchange for some money to solve the problem of food shortage.

There are not many people now, so hurry up and take a good seat, roll up the bag and put it on the ground. Yang Yu squatted aside, looking around.

"Young man, how do you calculate it?"

Not long after he squatted down, a middle-aged man wearing a yori shirt and carrying a scale came over. When he saw his outfit, he knew that he was not a farmer.

"Uncle, when you open a business early in the morning, you can tell me the price, as long as it is suitable."

He had never sold eels and loaches, and Yang Yu didn't know the price, so he simply asked the other party to bid, so he would not have to pay less.

"I want all the loaches with a 50-pound pound, and all the eels with a 80-pound pound.

The middle-aged man was not vague and directly quoted the price.

"OK!"

Yang Yu did not raise the price, and nodded directly to agree. No matter how hard he did, he would have to get twelve or three pounds, and he would get it for two dollars.

Seeing Yang Yu nodding, the middle-aged man squatted down, took out a bag from behind, skillfully divided the loach and eel into two bags, and then weighed them out separately.

Loaches are six pounds and three pounds, and eels are seven pounds and one pound, and two pieces are three pounds and five pounds.

"Uncle, you bought so much, can you finish eating?"

Yang Yu, holding the money, turned his eyes and asked tentatively the middle-aged man who was about to turn around and leave with a loach.

"I don't want to eat it myself, I'll hand it over to the city."

As soon as the other party answered, Yang Yu understood that the other party was a specialist in reselling. This was an alternative way to go into business, right? You can tell that you have made money when you look at it.

When the other party said he would keep the city, Yang Yu immediately realized that the price of eels and loaches in the city would only be higher. After all, who would do something without profit? As for how high it is, Yang Yu decided to go to the city in person to find out what was going on.

After being reborn in this era, Yang Yu naturally was unwilling to be a second-tier dealer. If he wanted to be a dealer, he had to be the most profitable dealer!

According to the memory of the original owner of the body, Yang Yu soon arrived at the gate of the town commune, where there was a shuttle bus to the county town.

It is said to be a shuttle bus. In fact, it is just to go to the county town to pull coal back to supply diesel tractors for residents of the town every day. Taking some people to the county town is the extra oil and water for each driver. But people these days have to be busy going to the field to earn work points. Unless it is a big deal, who would be willing to waste time going to the county town? One round trip is seventy or eighty miles, and the bus fare is also 50 cents. Not to mention the time, just talking about the bus fare of the round trip is a considerable expense.

"Uncle, when will you leave?"

When he arrived in front of a tractor, Yang Yu woke up the driver who was dozing off.

"You want to go to the county town? 50 cents, go to the carriage and sit, wait for a while before leaving."

Yang Yu handed over 50 cents, climbed into the carriage, sat on a slightly cleaner tarpaulin, and quietly waited for the departure.

Not long after, the middle-aged man who had just bought eels and loaches for Yang Yu carried a big bag worth dozens of kilograms in one hand and also boarded the tractor. It was no need to guess that it must have contained eels and loaches.

"Uncle, it's quite expensive to sell in the city?"

Yang Yu greeted the middle-aged man with a smile, but the other party ignored Yang Yu and just replied: "What's the expensive thing? Putting aside the fare, it's more than enough to earn one yuan and five!"

"oh……"

Yang Yu nodded and didn't ask any more questions. This will be considered a commercial secret in 2017.

After a few minutes, the tractor started and after nearly an hour of bumpy ride, he arrived at Baixi County.

Yang Yu's original owner took the college entrance examination at that time and came to the county chief once, but the route was limited to the second middle school and the station.

It is said to be a station, but it is actually an open space outside the city. The trucks pulling coal in each township will basically park on this open space, waiting to attract two passengers along the way. Over time, it is called a station.

After getting off the bus, Yang Yu was not familiar with the county, so he simply followed the dealer from afar.

After walking seven or eight streets along the way, Yang Yu came to a vegetable market.

What a good guy, although this vegetable market is not big and is still open-air, there are many fruits, vegetables, chickens, ducks, geese and fish! Hawking and bargaining are coming one after another, which is very lively.

In fact, this has always been like this in all dynasties. The living conditions in the city are always better than those in the countryside, which also strengthened Yang Yu's determination to lead his family out of the countryside.

There was a lot of people in the vegetable market, and Yang Yu almost lost it several times, but in the end he found the dealer talking to another person who was basically dressed up in the same way. Occasionally, he pointed to the bag around him, and probably was negotiating the price.

Yang Yu waited for a long time, and they seemed to have negotiated the price, and both parties began to weigh some money.

"Uncle, are you collecting loaches and eels here?"

When the transaction was over, the dealer left, Yang Yu quickly walked up and asked the middle-aged man who was collecting loaches and eels in Chengli, County.

"Carry! How much do you have? If it's more, it's expensive. If it's less, it's cheap."

The middle-aged man looked up and down at Yang Yu, but Yang Yu was also wearing a yeliang shirt. Yang Yu was a little younger and his clothes were a little older, but he also looked like a businessman.

"There are three or two hundred kilograms."

Yang Yu thought for a while and offered a price.

"Loaches with two horns and four horns, and if they are big, you can add one point."

"Okay! I'll bring you the next trip. Are you here every day?"

"I have to go to deliver the goods in the afternoon. We can't afford these eels and loaches. Only those rich people in the metropolis can afford it."

After hearing the answer, Yang Yu still felt that he underestimated this era. The first group of people who went into the sea had become rich and began to pursue the current luxurious life. Eels and loaches were also among the menus of this group of rich people.

However, Yang Yu was still excited. He could get something worthless in the brigade into the county town, which was worth 30 cents per catty, and the price was almost three times that of pork. It was definitely a huge profit! It was much higher than the profit he had when he went to the village to sell cigarettes!

So... a bold idea gradually took shape in Yang Yu's mind...
