Chapter 704 Xu Damao Goes to Sea
"Bang Geng, what's wrong with you?"
Qin Huairu rushed out of the house and looked at the muddy Banggeng, feeling extremely upset.
Banggeng parked the car and felt a little exhausted all over.
"It's okay, I rode into the ditch. Mom, quickly get me some hot water. I need to take a shower and check my equipment. Hurry up."
"Okay! Go inside first."
Qin Huairu did not dare to delay and hurried to fetch water.
Banggeng carried the equipment box into the house and took off the box gun from his waist.
This is one of the essential equipment for going to the countryside.
Jia Zhang didn't dare to touch it either, and became concerned about Bang Geng.
"Bang Geng, what happened? Why did you fall into the ditch? Be careful. It's snowing and the road is hard to walk on. Ride slowly."
"Grandma, stop talking."
Banggeng was annoyed and didn't want to listen to Jia Zhang's nagging, so he simply washed himself without even having time to change his clothes and opened the box containing the projector.
However, when he saw the mess in the box, he began to panic.
"Great! Is the equipment okay?" Qin Huairu also became nervous.
Banggeng didn't answer. He took out the equipment and started assembling and debugging.
But the moment the machine was turned on, my heart sank.
If the lens is broken, you can replace it. If the wheel doesn't turn, it's no problem. It's just a motor problem. But if there is no light, that's a big problem.
Xu Damao once taught him that the most important part of the entire projector is the optical structure, which is very easy to break and difficult to repair, so it must not be dropped.
As luck would have it, the road was slippery today and I fell into a ditch.
I am lucky that I didn't die from the fall.
Who cares if the equipment falls or not?
Even Qin Huairu, who was standing next to him, noticed that the machine was broken and asked hurriedly, "Bang Geng, what happened? Can it be fixed?!"
Bang Geng scratched his hair which had grown longer again, his eyes looking a little vague.
"Xu Damao only taught me simple repairs. This is too difficult. I don't know how to do it!"
"Then go find him. He said he will teach you until you learn it!"
"Yes, yes, go find Xu Damao. If he can't fix it, his father definitely can."
Banggeng came to his senses and hurriedly dismantled his equipment and put it into the box.
"Mom, lend me a bicycle quickly, my bike is broken."
"Okay, wait a moment."
Qin Huairu ran out in a hurry. Bicycles were not rare nowadays and were easy to borrow.
When she came back, Banggeng had already packed the box and carried it out.
At the same time, at Xu Damao's house.
It’s cold today, which is especially suitable for eating hot pot.
Xu Damao prepared a large table of dishes and entertained Wang Tiedan and Sha Zhu.
Of course, the most important thing is to find Wang Tiedan and Sha Zhu to be responsible for the seasoning.
At this time, Xu Damao gave the work of the cinema to another apprentice in advance. Especially after the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, his keen sense of smell made him realize that there was great potential in the future market.
Xu Damao knew that Wang Tiedan had quit his job at the steel mill long ago and was looking for an opportunity.
So I invited him to come and discuss it together.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
Xu Damao, slightly tipsy, talked about his discovery.
"Tiedan, Shazhu, you may not know that things are really different now than they were before. For example, the clothes and shoes worn by the young people who went to the cinema recently are not sold in Beijing.
I asked around and found out that most of them are from the south. The profit of a piece of clothing is 10 or 8 yuan. For a down jacket, it’s even higher. It sells for 70 or 80 yuan, and the profit is half of that.”
"This is called speculation and profiteering. Aren't you afraid of being caught and shot?" Sha Zhu said disdainfully.
"If you catch it, it's called speculation. If you can't catch it, it's called free trade. It's all written in the newspapers. What do you know? I'm going to go to the south and buy a few bags. I'm sure I'll make a lot of money!"
"Then you have to take the train to come back, won't the conductor ask questions?" Sha Zhu asked again.
"Hey, so what? I have a lot of relatives and I buy everything for them. How can they stop me from buying? If that doesn't work, I'll just mail the items directly to them like Tiedan. They won't check the packages, right? At most, I'll make less profit."
"The package may not be safe nowadays. Aren't you afraid it will be lost along the way?"
"When it comes to business, there is no such thing as a sure thing."
Wang Tiedan admired Xu Damao's courage, but he felt that he was taking things for granted.
"Brother Damao, where do you get your supplies from? Have you found out?"
"I know that. Most of them were smuggled in from Hong Kong and Macau by fishermen there. Some were bought in Guangzhou, but they require tickets. I plan to go there and ask around. As long as I have money, I will definitely be able to find the source of the goods.
By the way, where did you get so many things?" Xu Damao asked.
"Hong Kong!"
Wang Tiedan didn't hide it either.
"It was almost smuggled. I spent a lot of money to hire someone to bring a boat over."
"It cost a lot of money? How much?"
"Including the goods, the total cost was over four thousand."
"so many!"
Xu Damao was surprised. He thought Wang Tiedan had some good channels, but he didn't expect to buy it at a high price.
With this calculation, there is almost no profit if it is sold to the poorest cities.
Besides, he doesn't have that much money.
Shazhu, who was standing by, was rubbing his teeth in surprise.
"Tiedan, you are really rich! You are almost as rich as a capitalist."
"Don't say that casually. What does it mean to catch up with the capitalists? I am much better than the capitalists!" Wang Tiedan said with a smile.
What he said was not a lie. There are more than 2,000 houses in Hong Kong, and the monthly rent is 200,000 to 300,000 yuan.
This is still cheap to rent, and there will be more and more in the future.
"Hey, I told you you're fat and you're out of breath!" How could Sha Zhu believe it?
"If you don't believe it, I'll knock you down!"
"I believe!"
Xu Damao started to calculate the accounts directly.
"Silly Zhu, you can figure it out if you do the math. Tiedan's monthly salary is more than 200 yuan. For ten years, he must have saved at least 20,000 yuan.
In Dawang Village, Wang Tiedan has a monthly salary. I estimate that he earns at least 300 to 400 yuan a month. In the past ten years, he must have earned 40,000 to 50,000 yuan.
This does not include Mujiatun, there are other miscellaneous things.
Tiedan, tell me, am I right?"
"That's about right! I spent quite a bit of money!" Wang Tiedan said with a smile.
"Come on, you eat meat and fish for free, but you bought a sidecar and a house, and you spent a total of 10,000 yuan, which is enough to make you die.
I can see that some people work their ass off and only get a meager salary, while some people just lie down and still make a lot of money, like Tiedan.
That’s why I decided to quit my job.”
Sha Zhu snapped his fingers and his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
"My goodness, Tiedan, aren't you worth more than 50,000 now?"
"Not that much, keep a low profile!"
Sha Zhu and Xu Damao rolled their eyes at the same time.
What does it mean to make a fortune in silence? I finally saw the real person.
Xu Damao was still thinking about getting rich, so he returned to the original topic.
"Tiedan, you've been there, do you know the fishermen there? If I buy from them, will it be cheaper?"
Wang Tiedan shook his head.
"I really don't know this."
While the three were chatting, Banggeng had already arrived downstairs on his bicycle.
Carrying the box, I climbed up to the fourth floor with great effort, almost dying of exhaustion.
