"You should know that there is a second-hand goods trading market in Huangyuan area, and there are many people buying and selling old bicycles there. I usually go there once a week and bring back two or three bikes... This thing looks at the brand, and when you meet Phoenix, it will last forever.

You can earn at least 50 yuan from a flying pigeon. Broken bicycles are even cheaper. Just get some old parts and refurbish them, and the price will be more than 100 yuan." At the end of the sentence, Dong Gang was showing off in his words.

"I see! Brother Dong is still awesome,"

Wang Manyin nodded secretly after hearing this.

Unlike other resellers, Dong Gang has already upgraded his industry and knows how to maximize profits.

If there is demand, there will naturally be a market.

Nowadays, bicycles are in very short supply on the market. People cannot get tickets and have to look for them on the black market.

Therefore, Wang Manyin had no doubts about Dong Gang's words. As a later saying said, "Someone does the U-turn business, but no one does the loss-making business."

Although the regulations are very strict now and cards are set up in various places, there is nothing to stop it.

No matter what era, as long as the profit margin is large, some people will dare to take risks.

It's also an adventure. In my predecessor, I only knew how to buy rat poison cigarettes and the like, which was completely different from others.

After clinking another glass of wine, the other party said in a drunken voice: "How about it, Man Yin, let's go with ***? Get the goods from here, sell one and give you 20 yuan, as long as you are not in the county."

.You should know a lot of people, and it will be easy for you to take action."

Wang Manyin finally understood why people were so enthusiastic about her and why they wanted him to be their agent!

But Dong Gang is right. Even if he sells one bicycle every half month, his monthly income is higher than that of many workers.

Farmers are really poor these days, but their consumption ability to eat commercial grain is not low. Otherwise, why would many rural women prefer not to receive a bride price to marry someone who eats commercial grain?

If two people in the family work, they will have a lot of living money in their hands. I believe many people are willing to spend half a year's salary to buy a bicycle... The key is not to get tickets.

Why is the black market in Mijia Town so busy? It's because there is a Shikoma coal mine not far away. Those workers earn sixty or seventy yuan a month, which makes them extremely rich.

If Wang Manyin gets a few bicycles over, he can definitely sell them easily.

Not to mention his predecessor, even the current Wang Manyin is a little tempted. If there is no space, he is willing to give it a try.

However, Wang Manyin did not answer the other party's question immediately, but continued to ask: "Brother Dong, how did you transport it back to Yuanxi County?"

While talking, he poured Dong Gang another drink.

The Huangyuan area is two to three hundred miles away from the original Xi County, and it has to cross other counties along the way. Now the management is very strict, even selling some vegetables is not allowed, let alone a few conspicuous bicycles.

When Wang Manyin and the others came to the county town this time, they encountered staff members blocking the road for inspection.

Wang Manyin did not believe that Dong Gang was so capable that he could successfully unblock the relationships at all checkpoints along the way. The cost of doing so would be too high.

Dong Gang was probably a little drunk after drinking, so he smiled proudly and said, "You don't know this, right? Even though there are roadblocks everywhere, there are loopholes in it."

"Loophole?"

"That's right, if the highway is not good, you can transport freight by rail. Two bicycles can be easily transported to the Yuanxi County Railway Station for you for only one yuan."

….

Nowadays, the original Xixian Railway Station is not open for passenger transportation, but freight transportation has always been available. According to Dong Gang, as long as the delivery and receipt of goods are handled well, risks on the way can be easily avoided.

Dong Gang is not only courageous, but also smart.

But there must be some twists and turns inside... The other party didn't mention it, so Wang Manyin naturally didn't intend to ask again.

"How about it, are you willing to go with ***?"

The reason why Dong Gang confided in Wang Manyin as soon as they met was mainly because he felt that he knew Wang Manyin quite well. Although Wang Manyin was a little timid, he was very loyal.

When the original West County was in turmoil, the two of them fought side by side. Later, Wang Manyin even saved the life of a companion, which was definitely a plus.

In addition, Dong Gang mainly lives in the county town and is not very familiar with the communes below. Wang Manyin is different. He often wanders around in the communes below and must know more people than him.

Another point is that the money you give is not low, and you will definitely earn more than selling rat poison, and the other party will definitely be tempted.

It's just that Dong Gang thought wrong this time, and he refused decisively.

"Brother Dong, thank you for your interest. This business is indeed good. I am already married and my wife is due to have a baby in a few months. Now I just want to find stability and stop doing small business as soon as possible. Besides, I also need it at home.

Take care of me, you can’t leave at all, you’d better ask someone for help.”

There is a saying that makes sense, "If you often walk by the river, your shoes will not get wet."

Dong Gang's business is indeed profitable, but the risks are high.

Wang Manyin had a hunch that if the other party continued to do this, something would happen sooner or later.

If you are not careful, it will last ten or eight years. If you happen to hit the wind outlet, you may still eat peanuts.

If you have your own space and keep a sales agency at home, you can earn thirty or fifty yuan a month. The key is that the money is safe and you don't have to take any risks.

It’s good to live a peaceful life with my mother-in-law!

"Man Yin, you are still too timid. Captain Hu, who used to carry the gun with us, now secretly leads a construction and carpentry team in the county, with dozens of people under his command... The auditorium of the former West County Federation of Industry and Commerce, County

Captain Hu secretly leads people to work in supply and marketing cooperatives, family homes, and some factories. I heard that they earn at least this amount a year!"

Dong Gang stretched out two fingers and spoke with great envy.

Naturally, the amount indicated in this gesture cannot be two hundred, at least more than two thousand yuan.

Good guy!

Upon hearing this, Wang Manyin directly called out "Good guy" in his heart.

There were really a few characters among that group back then!

Captain Hu's name is Hu Yongzhou. He was a man who had been hanging out with others in the county town since his earliest days and had carried a gun together.

Wang Manyin originally thought that Dong Gang was bold enough, but he did not expect that Hu Yongzhou would go further and even form an underground contracting team.

No wonder he is the captain and his predecessor was just a minion.

Although management is stricter now, farmers have never been stopped from going out to engage in side jobs.

The bold will be starved to death, and the timid will be starved to death. When push comes to shove, some people will always dare to take risks.

Not only in the south, but also in the north.

However, now farmers basically have no skills or connections, so they usually do construction as a side job. Bricklayers earn more than one yuan a day. Carpenters earn a higher salary, which can reach two and a half yuan.

….

Of course, all of this money cannot go into individual pockets, and part of it needs to be handed over to the production team to buy work points.

Liu Jiawan's sideline team also has a similar form.

However, even excluding the labor cents paid to the production team, individuals can still make some money, which is definitely better than digging in the dirt.

At least it can fill your stomach.

Wang Manyin read a piece of information in later generations. Within half a year, staff in a county across the river caught more than 6,000 farmers who went out to engage in side jobs.

However, these farmers are generally not dealt with, and the focus is on the contractors.

Wang Manyin has recently been thinking about how to find a way to make money for the laborers of the second team after the autumn harvest. When he heard Dong Gang's story, he suddenly became interested: "Brother Dong, do you know where Captain Hu works?

?」

"Man Yin, what do you think? If you don't do business to make money, do you really plan to suffer on the construction site?" Dong Gang looked at the person in front of him in surprise.

Only then did he realize belatedly that Wang Manyin seemed to have changed a lot after not seeing him for half a year.

"I have no intention of doing it, and I can't bear the hardship. I mainly want to find a way for the villagers to make money. As you know, farmers now only earn work points. All year round, they don't have much money in their hands at all, not even salt.

It’s all difficult.”

After so much talk, Wang Manyin chose to tell the truth.

"You are so loyal... Well, if you change your mind in the future, come to me anytime." Seeing that the other party really didn't mean this, Dong Gang didn't intend to force it.

After all, I am guarding the county seat and can make a lot of money in a month.

Immediately, he told the other party Hu Yongzhou’s address.

After finishing a bottle of Xifeng, Wang Manyin stopped Dong Gang from taking any more wine. He said that he and others had come to the county town to do errands for the village and would have to rush back in the afternoon.

After eating, he left in a hurry.

Dong Gang made it very clear just now that Hu Yongzhou is leading a contracting team to build a new factory building for the county sauce and vinegar factory. It is not easy to come to the county town. Wang Manyin plans to take this opportunity to have a look, which happens to be not far away.

As his physical fitness continues to improve, his ability to drink has also improved a lot. He just drank half a catty of wine, and he is basically not drunk.

After leaving Dong Gang's house, he was exposed to the scorching sun and his energy from drinking was completely gone.

However, after walking a certain distance, Wang Manyin felt that the name Hu Yongzhou was more and more familiar, as if he had seen it in the original work.

Finally, he slapped his head.

Well, the other party is none other than Hu Yongzhou, the boss of the Hu brothers who appeared quite frequently in the original work, and the contractor.

When my brother-in-law Shaoping went to the Huangyuan area to do odd jobs, he worked under the other party.

Ten years later, Hu Yonghe, the second eldest brother of the Hu family, made a fortune through long-distance trafficking. He and Shaoan became leading households in the county, participated in "wealth-praising" meetings, and finally became well-known "peasant entrepreneurs" throughout the county.
