Countercurrent 1978 starts with the production team

After talking to Chen Youlin, Chu Jianghe acted as host and took them to Donglaishun for a meal of hotpot mutton.

Chen Youlin is not a squeamish person. He has traveled a lot in recent years and he has no taboos. The three of them had a very lively meal of shabu-shabu and drank some wine.

After several people had a feast, Chu Jianghe and Zhang Li took Chen Youlin back to the hotel, and they said goodbye to each other.

Chu Jianghe and Zhang Li didn't drink much, they were just a little tipsy.

The two of them were walking on the streets of the capital. In fact, Chu Jianghe was empty-handed, and Zhang Li was acting as a coolie for the time being, walking beside him with a bag.

Chu Jianghe thought for a while and said to Zhang Li next to him: "Brother Zhang, I am tight on money now, so I can only use your money first. After we make money, you can share more."

When Zhang Zhanghe heard what Chu Jianghe said, he was so happy that he didn't know how to feel better.

Brother Chu obviously wants to do business with him in partnership. As long as he is willing to come up with ideas, given his knowledge, are you afraid that he won't be able to make any money?

It doesn't matter if you contribute some money yourself, what you're afraid of is that the other party won't partner with you.

With such an obvious statement, the Chu brothers clearly regard themselves as partners.

Zhang Zhang expressed his dissatisfaction: "Brother Chu, what are you talking about? Who is related to whom between us? What are you doing with such a small amount of money? From now on, what is mine is yours. If you need money, just ask, as long as I can Take it out and use it as you wish.”

Chu Jianghe stretched out his hand to stop Zhang Li and continued: "Don't mention it, since we are doing business in partnership, then the brothers have to settle the accounts clearly. Let's do this. I will lend you half of the money for this batch of goods. When I earn it, I will lend you half." I’ll pay you an interest on the money, okay, that’s it.”

Chu Jianghe didn't mean to take advantage of him. He was really short of money and had no choice but to do it.

Since we are doing business as a partnership, it is better to explain some things clearly in advance to avoid hurting the harmony.

Brothers, relatives, friends and classmates in previous lives did business together. After they became prosperous, there were too many cases where they turned against each other.

Seeing what Chu Jianghe said was categorical, it was hard for Zhang Li to object: "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll do whatever you say. But brother Chu, since we are both partners, let's not be so quarrelsome. Just call me." Zhang Li, let me call you Jianghe."

Chu Jianghe nodded and agreed. It was just a title, it was not important.

"Okay. Zhang Li, I am still a student now. I have to stay in school all the time and rarely have the opportunity to go out. So most things require you to go out and run. This part depends on you. The weather comes and goes in the summer. , thank you for your hard work, you just have to take care of some things by yourself, if you encounter something you can’t handle, come back to me, and we’ll discuss it again.”

"Jiang He, it's no problem. Don't worry about this. I've also endured hardships. I've come from hard times. It's just an errand job. As long as you arrange it well, you don't have to worry about anything else. As long as nothing happens, You can attend school with peace of mind."

Zhang Li patted his chest and took over all these things. Since he decided to continue working in the capital, as long as he could make money, it didn't matter if he suffered a little.

Seeing Zhang Li like this, Chu Jianghe smiled appreciatively.

This Zhang Li is in his thirties, and he can still jump out of his comfort zone and go to the capital, a place he is unfamiliar with. This courage alone cannot be matched by ordinary people. It seems that he has really found the right one before. .

However, there are some ugly things that need to be said upfront.

"Since we are doing business as a partnership, we must be honest with each other. If you want to go it alone in the future, let me know in advance so that we can get together and part ways. We will still be friends when we meet in the future. If we don't say anything, , then we won’t even be friends anymore.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Li became anxious: "Jiang He, what kind of person am I? You don't know that we have been friends for such a long time, right? When we come out to hang out, we are all righteous. I will never do anything like that." Can’t do it.”

"Haha, don't worry, that's all I said, I don't mean anything else, but it's better to explain some things in advance."

"Okay, just say that, and I'll just listen."

Seeing that Zhang Li didn't take his words to heart at all, Chu Jianghe smiled noncommittally.

There may be such a thing as loyalty, but in his previous life, he had seen too many examples of people turning against each other because of interests. If people don't do it for themselves, they will be punished by heaven and earth. This is human nature.

He would not test a person's humanity, that would be too difficult.

Although it seemed like he took advantage of Zhang Li today, he really didn't care about the money.

As a man of two lives, if he loses his dignity because of that little money, how can he have the face to be a time traveler?

As long as this tension is willing to follow him steadily, he is also confident that he will bring benefits beyond his imagination to the other party.

In the final analysis, the most reliable relationship between the two people was interests. He didn't believe that Zhang Li would have the desire to betray him after seeing those benefits.

If he really betrays himself, it only shows that Zhang Yan has no vision, so what's the pity.

"Since we are going to work in Beijing for a long time, we can't stay in hotels all the time. We also need to rent a house as a place to stay. It happens that one of my classmates is a local. I asked him to ask in the past two days. Rent a house in his name."

After hearing Chu Jianghe's suggestion, Zhang Zhang nodded repeatedly.

There was just one thing that he had been holding back and not asking, but now he finally couldn't help but ask.

"Jiang He, those are just trivial matters. How can we get out so much goods? If I were in Changnian Town, I could rely on my previous connections to slowly go out. But when I arrived in the capital, my eyesight went dark and I had no clue. , please tell me so that I can feel at ease."

Seeing Zhang Zhang's anxious look, Chu Jianghe gave the answer: "Recently, many people who went to the mountains and countryside have come back. They are almost old enough to get married, and getting married in this big city requires three turns. First of all, there are watches in department stores. Not only do you need a watch ticket, but they also cost a lot of money. These things of ours come in handy. This thing is not expensive and looks beautiful. It can also be used to bluff when worn on the hand. other people."

"You have also sold this thing in Changnian Town. Those people who bought the watch are not allowed to go out and play with it? Then these people are our target group in the next step. As long as we find the right way, we can spread the word to ten, and then spread it to hundreds. Are you afraid that these things won’t be sold?”

After listening to Chu Jianghe's words, Zhang Li admired him very much. College students are college students. In such a short time, he came up with a good method. This method is feasible as soon as he heard it.

"Jiang He, what do you think we should set the price for?"

"How much do you sell in Changnian Town?"

"My purchase price is more than 20 yuan a piece, and it only sells for more than 40 yuan in Changnian Town. It's really too high and no one buys it."

Chu Jianghe pondered for a moment and said: "We will buy the electronic watch for 8 yuan, and sell it for 50 yuan each. There is also a calculator..."

The reason why Zhang Li is expensive is because there are several layers of people above him, and if they are stripped down layer by layer, the price will naturally be very high.

After all, Changnian Town is a small town. Even if it costs 40 yuan, not everyone can afford it.

The consumption level in the capital is naturally much higher than that in Changnian Town. For families with two working parents, 50 yuan is not a heavy burden and most people can afford it.

"Okay, listen to you."
