Reborn in the 70s / Reborn in 1978

Zhang Xingming took out a few pieces from the money stack in the second brother's hand, which contained 60 yuan, stuffed them into the man's pocket, and said, "I've traveled so far in winter, sir, buy a pack of cigarettes, next time we'll go ahead." Come on, have a drink."

The man didn't evade, with a smile on his face, he touched Zhang Xingming's head and said to the second brother: "You little brother can handle things, okay, I'm not welcome, this is almost equal to my February salary, and I can give it to you." Kids do some shopping.

My surname is Li, so you just follow Erzhu and call me uncle. In the future, if there is anything to do at Yigang, you can say no. The uncle will handle it for you. If the uncle can't do it, ask someone to do it for you. "

Zhang Xingming called obediently: "Master."

Uncle Li laughed and patted Zhang Xingming's head again, and then said, "Then I'll go back, it won't be easy to go when it gets dark."

He opened the door and went out, heard the bang of the fire in the yard, and drove out of the yard.

Chapter 32 Business in this era depends on fists

Zhang Xingming carefully put away the phone number left by Uncle Erzhu, then looked up at the second brother, and found that the second brother was still standing there in a daze holding the 4000 yuan.

At this time, the maximum denomination of money is ten yuan, and 4000 yuan is quite a lot, and the bluish-white unity hits people's eyes thickly and solidly.

"Second brother," Zhang Xingming pushed the second brother, and said, "Are you stupid? Does this little money make you stupid?"

The second brother came back to his senses with a bang, his face turned red immediately, he looked at Zhang Xingming, then at the money in his hand, and said excitedly: "Er Ming, we made a lot of money."

Zhang Xingming lowered his head helplessly, and sighed, people at this time really had never seen money, 4000 yuan almost made one go crazy.

Taking the money from the second brother and putting it on the small bed, Zhang Xingming said to the second brother: "Second brother, it's only 4000 yuan. If it's tens of thousands, don't you go crazy?"

The second elder brother was a little embarrassed, looked at the money on the bed, took a few breaths, and said, "I never expected to earn so much money collecting trash. If we work for a few more years, how much money will we have to earn?"

Zhang Xingming patted the money on the bed, and said to his second brother: "Second brother, don't be too happy, let me tell you, this kind of money, we can earn two years, at most two and a half years, and I told you You, this matter must be kept secret.

None of your buddies and friends can speak out, not even Sister Ping, understand?This is against the law. If it gets publicized and gets bigger, let alone money, people will be gone. "

"Two years? According to this calculation, this year is less than [-] yuan. In two years, we can earn almost [-] yuan? [-], my God, how much is that? It is enough for everything."

The second brother stared at the money and calculated there.Zhang Xingming was overjoyed, picked up a pillow to cover the money, and said, "Second brother, I really can't say anything about you. With your current state, I dare not go down to work. If you are in this state, something will happen. Alas."

"What happened?" The second brother turned his gaze to Zhang Xingming's face when the money was no longer visible. ,

"What happened? Something big happened. Second brother, can we act like we have never seen money?"

"I haven't seen it before, have you seen it?" The second brother is not ashamed but proud.

Zhang Xingming stroked his forehead and sighed, times, times, people who spent 4000 yuan picking up trash in the previous life wouldn't have such an expression, right?

"Second brother, let me be serious with you. No one can talk about this, so we can continue to earn money. Those of you who know the truth, don't tell the truth, just say that you can earn a few hundred dollars a month. Give them a salary of 30 yuan each, and invite them to drink and smoke if they have nothing to do, so don’t let anyone miss it.”

"The second pillar must know. It was his uncle who contacted him about this matter. Can he not know how much he gave us?" The second brother finally paid attention, and was also a little panicked.

"It was he who helped to contact you, but he doesn't know how much you earn, and his uncle doesn't know how much we received. Then, give him [-], and we will contact his uncle directly in the future. By the way, next time you talk to Uncle Li, just tell him not to raise money with Zhuzi, he will definitely help, and we will give him one hundred per car in the future."

The second elder brother nodded, and then he came to his senses and asked, "You just gave money to Mr. Zhu, didn't you? How much did you give?"

"Fifty or sixty, don't count." Zhang Xingming lifted the pillow and picked up the money and said, "This money must be given. This is our cash cow. Only by making him happy can the money be earned in the long run."

The second brother felt a little distressed: "Fifty or sixty, it's as good as my dad's two-month salary."

After a while, the money was counted out, four thousand and ten yuan, not counting the fifty that was given to Uncle Li.

Zhang Xingming put the ten yuan directly into his pocket, took out fifty yuan and handed it to the second brother, saying: "You spend the fifty yuan and count it as salary. You will pay them tomorrow, and the rest will be used to collect money." Tie, you can’t move a penny except for your salary, and you can’t spend it randomly, okay?”

The second brother took the money and nodded, fifty, to be honest, he hasn't gotten so much money at once.

Zhang Xingming took out another two hundred and put it away, and then took out another two hundred and handed it to the second brother: "This money is for repaying your principal, you have to give it back, don't spend it, we do business, we must talk about integrity, this time It’s a pleasure to pay back, and I’m sure I’ll be happy if I need anything in the future.”

The second brother nodded, took the money and put it in his pocket, and said, "Well, that's for sure, I'll go back tomorrow."

Zhang Xingming said: "When you give money, don't say that you earn it back, just say that you didn't think about it at first, and you didn't do it because you were afraid of losing money, understand?" The second brother looked at Zhang Xingming for a while and nodded.

Zhang Xingming took a scrap newspaper, picked up the wallet on the bed and handed it to the second brother, saying: "Leave these here for you, and continue to collect iron, but this recycling is divided into two parts, put the big ones aside, the scattered ones aside, the scattered ones." If the ones are ten tons enough, let Uncle Li come over and pull them once, and if the big ones are put away, don’t sell them, remember?”

The second brother took the money and asked, "Why?"

Zhang Xingming explained: "I'm not going to tell you anymore. The price of iron will definitely increase in the past two years. When the price rises and then sell it, it will not be all earned." The second brother's eyes lit up, nodded, and was a little excited.

To be honest, Zhang Xingming is quite reassuring about his second brother's character, he is loyal and keeps his word, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to prison again and again in his last life, all because of helping his buddies or fighting.

In this life, Zhang Xingming decided to lead his second brother on the road of earning money and help him build a brand new life.

During the winter vacation, Zhang Xingming didn't go to his grandma's house. After returning the 200 yuan to his mother, his mother knew that he could earn money and that he had business to do, but Zhang Xingming didn't tell the truth about how much money he earned, for fear of scaring his mother.

The second brother is doing a good job, those buddies are settled by him, and he said that he found a temporary job as a shifter, and he will not go out to hang around anymore. Grandpa thought he really found a shifter I was working, and happily told my dad that Xiaoli was promising, knowing that he was going to work.

Zhang Xingming secretly laughed, and Zhang Xingming and his mother never told his father about collecting scrap iron.

In a flash of time, it came to February of 81, and the Spring Festival was about to begin.

The waste collection project operated by the second brother has gradually expanded, and the scope of collecting scrap iron has expanded to the surrounding areas. Anyone who collects junk in the streets and alleys knows that there is such a person who collects scrap iron for a penny more than the material company.

In addition, the second brother is a ruthless person with a reputation. These junk collectors strictly keep their tongues and quietly send the scrap iron here, and some even push the cart for twenty or thirty in order to sell more money. Kilometers to here.

By February, the number of these people has reached 27, and they alone can purchase less than ten tons a month. In addition, Lao Hou's family has an old tractor that runs farther, and they can pull in more than a dozen in a month. Ton.

From time to time, the second brother got a few tons out of the factory, and the salaried buddies of the second brother were even more enthusiastic about doing serious business, trying their best to pull iron around.

In the past three months, the uncle of Erzhu came four more times, took away more than 50 tons of scrap iron, and took away 500 yuan. He must have lived a prosperous year this year.

There are fifty or sixty tons of piles piled up in the yard, which are buried under the snow, and the second brother will walk around and touch them if he has nothing to do. They are all money.

Excluding the money on the scrap iron, Zhang Xingming and his second brother both had more than 4000 cash in their hands. Zhang Xingming asked his second brother to deposit it in the bank. In this era, banks only look at money when depositing money, and it doesn't matter who deposits it. Who will pick it up, and there is no password, and many people fill in pseudonyms.

When the bank implemented the real-name system in 2000, many people couldn’t withdraw money because they couldn’t remember the name they wrote at the beginning. (At that time, the name was not displayed on the deposit slip. When you withdraw money, you have to fill in your name. If you fill in a mistake, you will not be able to withdraw it. The bank will not remind you, and it is not easy to hold a passbook or deposit slip.)

On February 13th, Zhang Xingming asked his second brother to go to the bank to withdraw 1 yuan, and the two went to the rented hut to work together.

"It's the Chinese New Year soon, and no one will deliver the iron, how about taking this money?" the second brother started to ask when he entered the room.

The second brother is now arrogant, wearing a full set of military uniforms, military padded jackets, military trousers, military overcoats, military big-toed leather shoes, military cotton caps with dog hair flying edges, and military handbags.

Hand stuffiness is high-sleeved cotton gloves, which can protect all the way to the forearm.Ordinary people wear only thumbs, which can hold things, military ones have index fingers, which are used to shoot guns, civilian ones are made of cotton, and military ones are made of rabbit fur.

In this era, a lot of people have to be envious of this set. A salary of 50 yuan a month is really a lot of money in this era. Now the second brother usually plays with the group of people who are pure bosses. Full feet.

Basically, the unemployed young people in the area of ​​the concentrator were surrounded by the second brother. With these few people who got their wages from the second brother as the core, they formed a wild organization. ah.

If there is no airtight wall in the world, no matter how careful you are to keep it secret, if you pull in and dump truckloads of scrap iron every day, it will be seen by interested people.

Besides, in this era when all the people are poor, anyone who has more than a dozen dollars in their pockets can be considered a big fortune, a group of half-sized people who have money in their pockets, eat and drink a lot every day, who can't see it?

The fact that the second brother and his group were making scrap iron everywhere quickly caught some people's attention. Although they didn't know the specific routine, they knew that the second brother and the others must have gotten money from here, so there were people who were tempted .
