Chapter 16 Hard Mode
Two thousand yuan was definitely a huge sum of money in that era.
No matter who you are, it would be difficult for someone to accept something if it is given to them for free.
In exchange for this, the two brothers obtained positions, but so far no real benefits have been seen.
There is only one word to describe it, if it's not stupid.
That is: stupid!
It was because the huge amount of money was exposed that Su Daniu took the risk.
He originally wanted to threaten Su Qing with the reservoir accident, but his cleverness backfired and he ended up in jail.
The villagers could never guess what Su Qing was up to.
They all expressed their complete incomprehension of the 2,000 yuan she donated to the production team free of charge.
Gradually, the story of the Su family's daughter paying the production team's dowry spread throughout Hongxing Village.
"Doctor Su is a very smart man, how could he have such a stupid daughter?"
"Yeah, maybe he got knocked silly by the last reservoir incident!"
……
All kinds of ridicule and sarcasm spread to every corner of the village.
But Su Qing disagreed.
She even went to the county town with Su Yu openly and spent 900 yuan, plus the 50 yuan deposit.
Drive back the refurbished van.
Under the simple guidance of the car owner, Su Yu actually showed an unexpected driving talent.
The only truck in the entire commune was driven by him as it went through the streets and alleys, looking extremely cool.
When the car drove into the commune, it attracted the attention of villagers, who gathered for a long time.
Su Yu signed up for a driving test class and will soon get his official driver's license.
In addition, Su Qing spent 50 yuan to enroll Su Yao and Lin Yueran in night school training courses in town.
The duration is one and a half years, and some courses are even arranged during the period of earning work points.
Su Qing's selflessness was seen as greater stupidity!
"The college entrance examination has been suspended for many years. Is she crazy?"
"Fifty yuan is enough for an adult's food ration for a year."
"It's not even worth the work points. It's just a waste of time. What on earth is this crazy girl thinking?"
……
The villagers did not understand this approach at all.
"Why should a little girl study? Go and earn work points for me. Don't listen to your sister. That's nonsense!" Ye Xinglian roared angrily.
Su Yao was so scared that she hid in the corner and dared not make a sound.
Su Qing stood up, patted her chest, and said confidently, "Mom, don't worry, I will make up for the work points that big brother and little sister missed, but you must go to night school!"
Faced with the villagers' cold words and the lack of understanding and support from her family, Su Qing did not back down.
The plans she made must be implemented resolutely and cannot be questioned or refuted.
There was one more thing that Su Qing asked Su Yu to do.
We rented and built a cold storage in the town.
In that era, people had no concept of cold storage.
If Ye Xinglian knew about this expensive thing, she would definitely be even more furious.
In order to avoid arousing suspicion from people with ulterior motives and thus causing unnecessary trouble, we can only try to narrow the scope of people who know about it.
She knew that her elder brother Su Yu was honest and loyal, so there should be no problem keeping this secret.
But the facts before him still shocked Su Yu.
"Second sister, where do the corn cobs, lychees and longans in the cold storage come from?" Su Yu was extremely shocked when he saw the mountains of corn and fruits piled up in the cold storage of nearly 100 square meters.
Su Qing was not in a position to reveal the details of the system space, so she just made up an excuse, "I bought this from a few friends I met when I was at the flea market last time. I bought it from them at a low price."
In this age where you need quotas and tickets to buy anything, Su Yu was skeptical after hearing this.
In fact, when Su Qing visited the flea market last time, she secretly inquired about the demand for corn, lychees and longans.
She even negotiated the price and supply quantity with several fruit and vegetable shop owners.
What we need to do now is to use trucks and adopt an ant-moving approach to sell the products one by one to the hands of each demander.
Su Qing knew that this kind of behavior was still very vague in terms of policy in this era.
You may be arrested for speculation at any time.
But she also knows that such restrictions will soon be fully lifted.
So she wanted to take a big gamble and then back off immediately.
It took the brother and sister nearly three days to finally process the full cold storage of supplies.
Lychees are 1 cent per pound, longans are 8 cents per pound, and corns are 2 cents per head.
The price fluctuated slightly within this range, and the final total profit was 687 yuan.
The brother and sister counted a pile of banknotes of various denominations, including yuan, dimes, and cents, twice before they calculated the final total.
In addition, there are countless exchanges of various tickets and physical commodities.
Su Qing also made a rough count.
68 eggs, 7 bottles of malted milk, 11 packs of White Rabbit candy, 28 various receipts, 3 jin of pork, 2 hens...
If the price is converted into cash, it should be several hundred yuan.
In her previous life, Su Qing was a shrewd businessman who was very careful with her budget in everything she did.
Except for the 950 yuan spent on purchasing the truck, all the goods are grown in the space, so it is a business with no capital cost. Excluding labor and freight costs, the profit is very substantial.
The money invested in the production team and night school was almost recovered in one go.
Moreover, the two brothers each had a stable job from then on.
Where can you find such a good deal in this day and age?
Su Qing locked the door of the cold storage and got on the truck driven by Su Yu, preparing to go home with a full harvest.
The biggest employer during these three days, Hou Laoliu, brought a few people and stopped the truck.
"Sixth Uncle, do you have anything to talk to me about?" Su Qing got out of the car and went to greet him.
The careful Su Qing noticed something slightly wrong.
A few days ago, Hou Laoliu was always smiling every time they met, but today, there was a hint of panic on his face.
"There is a problem with the last batch of goods just now. Can you come with me?" Hou Laoliu asked.
In the business world, observing people's words and expressions is a necessary task.
At this moment, there was a huge amount of money in the car, and Su Qing had an idea, "No problem, I'll tell my brother and I'll go with you."
Su Qing returned to the car and quickly took out a pen and paper to write a line of words. She looked into Su Yu's eyes with a firm look, "You go back first, I'll go with them."
Su Qing said as she handed the note to Su Yu.
[Go find Lu Xingchen]
These are the five words Su Qing wrote on the note just now.
The current situation was urgent, and Su Qing also noticed Su Yu's hesitation.
Seeing that he wanted to leave but didn't dare to leave, and finally stepped on the accelerator and left resolutely, Su Qing knew that he made the decision after a fierce ideological struggle.
Leaving a weak woman behind to get entangled with the thugs who have been active in the black market for years, as the big brother, he must be worried.
Following Hou Laoliu and his gang, Su Qing was taken to a remote tube-shaped building.
When Hou Laoliu reached the door of the third room, he was about to knock on it, but the door was opened from the inside.
In the room, four strong men who looked like thugs stood on both sides in pairs.
At the end of the room, on an octagonal chair, a long-haired man in a white shirt and black pants sat with his back to the chair.
The light in the room was dim, adding a bit of solemnity to the atmosphere.
"Your name is Su Qing?" A voice suddenly sounded in the silence. Su Qing's heart shuddered and she even smelled a strong smell of white wine.
"Yes, Mr. Mu San! It's the girl from Hongxing Village. I brought her to you!" Hou Laoliu said respectfully.
"Red Star Village, Su Guisheng's eldest daughter, I have never heard of you having such ability!" Master Mu San suddenly stood up, twisted the Eight Immortals Chair hard, made a 180-degree turn, sat down again, and shouted loudly.
On the way here, Su Qing had already prepared herself mentally, but she didn't expect the current situation to be a hundred times worse than expected.
Others are reborn and use the golden finger to get rich smoothly, but why do I encounter such a difficult mode when I want to earn my first pot of gold?
Before the reform and opening up, the society was in a state of disrepair and some sectors of society were still unstable.
The forces that have been entrenched in the black market for many years are complicated and intricate. It seems that the transactions in the past three days must have affected some people's interests.
"Tell me, where do all your goods come from?" As soon as Mr. Mu San finished speaking, the four big men at the door behind him all showed a homemade spear.
