Lin Yi lived a very comfortable life this year, with a beautiful woman in his arms, no worries about food and drink, and no worries about life. He was at the peak of his life.
After the third grade of junior high school,
In addition to eating, Lin Yi and Zuo Xiaoqing also gave her extra lessons. Zuo Xiaoqing had a strong desire to learn and was not stupid. The only shortcoming was that she had poor basic skills. After all, she had not gone to high school and received a high school education system.
Lin Yi prepared a test plan for her.
"The 1981 College Entrance Examination requirements announced by the country last year were full points of 580, with 100 points each in Chinese, mathematics, politics, physics, and chemistry. Additional questions are not included in the total score. The English paper is 100 points. Science and engineering are scored at 50%, and biology is 30 points.
"
"Last year, the score line was 360 for liberal arts and 390 for science. This year, the difference will not be too big. If you are going to take the science test, we will prepare according to 390 points. I did the math. As long as you get the basic points, there will basically be no problem."
"So your direction should be to protect your basic scores first, and then study advanced topics when you have time. This way your scores won't be too bad. Even if you don't meet the university requirements, it shouldn't be a big problem to take the technical secondary school entrance examination."
Zuo Xiaoqing couldn't help but nodded.
Through Lin Yi's analysis, she felt that her goal became much clearer.
"But I'm still worried. After all, my foundation is too poor, and the number of students enrolled is so small, less than one tenth." Zuo Xiaoqing is still worried.
Lin Yi smiled,
He patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, don't you still have me as your master? Have you ever heard of the saying, 'If you want to learn well, sleep with the master'? Now that you are sleeping with the master, I will teach you how to do it."
.”
Zuo Xiaoqing glanced at Lin Yi.
"Come, Teacher Lin will give you a biology lesson first, Chapter 7..."
"Didn't you say that you got few marks in biology class?"
"Let's talk about physics. Archimedes said, give me a fulcrum and I can lift the entire earth."
...
The sixth day of the lunar month,
Businesses on Hanzheng Street have opened their doors one after another.
Firecrackers went off all morning.
Jiang Wu and Li Xiangqian are all back and setting up stalls. The calendar business has completely stopped, and now only children's clothing, lighters, fake flowers, and sunglasses are left.
Sunglasses are also out of stock.
In fact, the sunglasses were sold out a year ago, but as the Chinese New Year was approaching, Lin Yi was too lazy to restock.
Different from the hustle and bustle of the past year, people's desire to consume after the New Year is very low. On the entire Hanzheng Street, there are more vendors than people shopping. Occasionally, a few come to wholesale and pick up goods. The shipment volume has dropped 20 times compared with the previous year.
more than.
"Xiao Wu, buy me a train ticket. I'll go to Guangzhou tomorrow." Lin Yi decided to take advantage of his leisure time to go to Guangzhou to pick up the goods.
He has one more thing.
I just want to find Brother Shui to see if the invitation letter has been processed. He wants to apply for a passport and go to Hong Kong to see if there are any opportunities to make money.
"Okay Brother Yi."
Nothing was going on at the stall. Lin Yi walked around and went home. Zuo Xiaoqing was still studying at home. She got up very early every day, cleaned the house, cooked for Lin Yi, and spent the rest of the time studying.
Lin Yi just came back.
Xiaoqing rushed over excitedly, hugged Lin Yi's arm and said happily, "Brother Lin, I just received a telegram from home. Xiaowang has gone to work. The garment factory has arranged for him to be an apprentice in the driver's class. Now he will learn from the master. There will be more in the future.
Opportunity to learn to drive a truck.”
Drivers are a good profession these days.
There is also a casual saying about driving, "If you click the accelerator, you will get a thousand taels of gold, put it in gear and start, and you will become rich every year...".
The wind can't blow it, and the rain can't catch it.
Others are begging,
It can be said that it is an absolutely good life.
Lin Yi smiled. Years ago, he called Factory Director Lu and told him about Xiaowang. He originally thought it would be good if Factory Director Lu could arrange a porter or something, but he didn't expect that he would arrange a driver apprentice. It was a courtesy.
Pretty enough.
"It's good. Let him learn from it and tell him that the technology belongs to him and will stay with him for the rest of his life. After he learns it, even if he doesn't work in a garment factory, he can go to other places if he has this technology." Lin Yi said.
Zuo Xiaoqing couldn't help but nod.
Lin Yi's tone sounded like he was a brother-in-law.
In fact, during the Chinese New Year, Lin Yi and Zuo Xiaoqing talked about getting married. The two of them were already together. If you are given a young girl these days, you can't just say you don't love her and it will be over. You have to be responsible.
Speaking of marriage,
Both of them are fine.
But something went wrong.
Zuo Xiaoqing is not old enough.
Originally, my country's Marriage Law stipulated that the legal age for marriage was twenty for men and eighteen for women. This provision has been implemented since 1950.
But just last year, in 1980, the Marriage Law was revised to stipulate that men should not be earlier than 22 years old, and women should not be earlier than 20 years old.
Zuo Xiaoqing is nineteen weeks old this year.
If it was last year, the two people could get their marriage certificate directly.
But after the age was changed, it was increased by two years, and Zuo Xiaoqing had to wait until his birthday next year to be old enough.
Lin Yi decided to wait a few months and then go to Zuo's house. The two of them would have a banquet and wait until they were old enough to get the certificate.
In fact, in rural areas now,
I don’t pay much attention to getting a certificate.
Pay more attention to whether there is a wedding banquet. As long as the banquet is held, everyone will recognize that you are married. This is still the case in many places two thousand years later.
This is a good time to focus entirely on studying.
night,
Lin Yi taught Zuo Xiaoqing seriously.
Zuo Xiaoqing is a good student who is sensible, obedient and conscientious. She will obediently do whatever Lin Yi tells her to do.
Harmonious and beautiful.
The next day,
Zuo Xiaoqing went to work, and Lin Yi took the salute and set off for Guangzhou.
The train is very slow.
Lin Yi passed the time by reading.
When I arrived in Guangzhou, I still stayed at the same hotel as last time. The boss and Lin Yi had become acquaintances. When he saw Lin Yi, he said hello and opened a room for him.
"Brother Lin, can I contact you about the boat tomorrow morning?"
"Yes, sorry for bothering you, brother."
The shop owner smiled and said, "What's the trouble? I make money."
This is very true.
We set off at around four in the morning and arrived at the market around eight o'clock. Various stalls had been set up. Lin Yi didn't rush to put on his sunglasses and went to Brother Shui's house first.
"Brother, you are here."
Brother Shui greeted Lin Yi happily when he saw him.
"Brother Shui, how are things going?" Lin Yi asked with concern.
Brother Shui smiled and said, "It's done. Take a look." He took out an invitation printed on a printer from the drawer. It was written in both Chinese and English, and it looked very formal.
Lin Yi is hereby invited to inspect a company in Hong Kong. The company will serve as a guarantee and the signature is ‘Hong Kong Hongstar International Trading Co., Ltd.’.
The name of the company looks very grand and international, but as a later generation, Lin Yi knows that most of these companies are handbag companies, and there may be only one clerk in the entire company who can answer the phone.
However, this company is absolutely legal and you can’t find anything wrong with the certificate.
"Brother, take this invitation letter and go to your place to apply for a passport. Once the passport is processed, there are still some procedures at the customs here. I will help you go through it. You can give me the remaining two thousand yuan before you leave the customs.
." Brother Shui said.
It's very authentic to collect money after completing the work.
"Thank you, Brother Shui." Lin Yi was very happy to get the invitation letter, and it was half done.
"Why are you thankful? Aren't we all here to make money?" Brother Shui said with a smile.
Going to Hong Kong, he still had to prepare some money. Lin Yi was thinking of exchanging some money from Brother Shui, but before he could open his mouth, a young man came in from the door.
"Brother Shui, I brought some goods and you gave me a price."
"What?"
Brother Shui did not shy away from Lin Yi. After all, Lin Yi was also a big customer who had exchanged hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars with him.
The young man took out a small bag tied with a handkerchief from his pocket. After opening it, Lin Yi saw several gold rings and a gold bracelet inside.
Picking up the gold ring and gold bracelet and looking at them,
"The quality is okay, 32 per gram."
The young man shook his head, "Brother Shui, the price of gold has been so high recently. Thirty-two is probably a little less."
Brother Shui, look at this guy,
"That's an artificially high price. Damn it. The price of gold has almost doubled from the year before last to now. It's really scary. Look, whoever dares to hoard gold is worried that the price of gold will plummet. They sell it as soon as they get it. I'll give you 32, which is definitely high."
Yeah, even if someone else gives you 31, it’s enough.”
The young man thought for a while.
"sold."
He didn't just ask about one or two families. Brother Shui was right. Other families could give up to 31, but Brother Shui's place was considered the highest.
Brother Shui took out a small scale and weighed the weight, "It's twenty-seven grams in total, right?"
"That's right."
"Thirty-two times twenty-seven, eight hundred and sixty-four." Brother Shui said while giving the young man money.
The young man got the money and left happily.
"Brother Shui, do you still accept gold jewelry?" Lin Yi asked.
Brother Shui smiled and said, "Gold and silver are hard currencies. They are easier to use than banknotes for smuggling. If you sell them to the country, one gram will only cost you twenty-three or four yuan. I can sell them here for thirty-two yuan and earn eight yuan per gram."
Brother Shui said as he put away the pieces of gold jewelry.
"Take the gold and silver and go to sea to purchase goods?" Lin Yi asked.
Brother Shui nodded, "Otherwise, they won't recognize our unity, so we can only exchange it for gold and silver."
Lin Yi quickly calculated in his mind.
Nowadays, gold and silver are banned in China, but can be traded freely in Hong Kong. The international gold price and the domestic gold price are actually quite nonsense now. According to the international exchange rate, the US dollar to the RMB is 1:1.705.
But who can give it to you at this price?
He originally thought about exchanging some Hong Kong dollars with Brother Shui and taking it with him, but now he has a new idea in mind.
Go back and find a way to collect some gold. There must be people doing this in Jiangcheng, and the price is definitely cheaper than along the coast. You have space, and you can safely take it through customs and sell it there. It is much more suitable than exchanging Hong Kong dollars on the black market.
