National Tide 1980.

Chapter 98

"Brother, you are too happy. This is the second thing I told you. That's right, there are double profits when goods are transported from south to north, but you have to think about it, how did you get this huge profit? Isn't it because this road is not easy to walk, and there are great risks in it."

"From ancient times to the present, most merchants are not engaged in production. Their method of making a profit is to transport something from a certain place to another place for sale. And the profit is determined by the risks on the road and the distance of the journey. The cost of transportation and shipping, the risk of robbery and extortion by bandits and bullies, and even the risk of accidents and diseases, all have to be counted.”

"So the more troubled the world is, the higher the price of commodities. There is no way, there is no way to get the goods, it is useless. To put it bluntly, it is like our army trying to break through the enemy's blockade during the Anti-Japanese War. The real increase is all Transportation costs, such as food, medicine, and ammunition, have to be exchanged for gold, which is expensive.”

"It's the same now. Don't look at it as a new society. You don't have to worry about your own head to make money, but there are still many risks on the road. If you don't get it right, you will have to lose money and capsize, and then you will be bad luck."

"The truth is actually very simple. It is very difficult to complete a thing without mistakes in every link. On the contrary, it is much easier to ruin this thing. As long as you are not careful, you can ruin the pot. If you don't believe it, I will tell you Tell me about the basic difficulties you have to face when you run this trip, and you will understand."

"First of all, the ticket is not easy to buy, and the car is not easy to ride. From our capital to the southernmost part of the motherland, the fastest train will take two days and three nights. You must not be able to get a sleeper. Do you know what it is like to get on the train? The cars are crowded. There are even people lying under the seats, and the ordinary carriages are even more stinky, and there is no place to get down.”

"I don't even have water to drink. To eat, I have to climb up from the back of the chair to go to the toilet. The food in the car is expensive, it's hard to swallow, it's cold and hard. Don't look at you young and strong. , If you get out of the car, if you don't feel dizzy or vomit, you are considered a hero. If you go and come back, if you want to lose five or six pounds, I will say it for nothing. "

"But it's just hardship. The key is that the road is really not peaceful, and it's inevitable to be worried. Especially in the Xinxiang section, there are more thieves than beggars. They gang up and crowd around single travelers, often not at the same time. Be careful, you have something missing on your body. If you want people to look after you, if you can't get anywhere, you will lose your capital first. What's it like to live in a foreign land without a penny?"

"Even if you arrive at the land, don't rest assured. Huacheng, that is the Huahua world. You have not seen much, not only good, fragrant, evil, stinky, not a lot. Don't say anything else. , How much do you know about motorcycles in Huacheng? There is also a speeding party. One person drives, one person sits behind. When two bad boys pass you, they will speed up when you are not prepared and grab your things. You can catch up Where can I find it? You don’t understand the language, and you can’t even understand the police report.”

"When buying and selling, it is even more confusing. Where do you think these toad mirrors and electronic watches come from? They are imported and smuggled. Then you have to hide from people and trade behind your back. You are a People, take all your wealth and go with others, don’t worry? Even if it’s a real transaction, you have to go through it one by one and hold the goods in your hands before you can give the money. Because I know someone bought a 50 yuan electronic watch , I was in a hurry to give the money but didn’t look at it, and when I went back, I found that half of it was a defective product. There are also people who looked at things that were quite good at the time, but in the end, people dropped their bags and didn’t leave the fart.”

"Can you really feel at ease when you have the goods? No, there are still many obstacles to bring back safely. Don't look at how relaxed you were when you came, it's not like that when you go back. People who have been there told me. , Now people all over the country who want to make a fortune are starting to run to Huacheng. But the train station in Huacheng is not able to let you sway and bring goods on the train casually. "

"In the underground corridors and on the platform, there are industrial and commercial staff on duty, and the conductors have to check at every level. Even when you get on the train, there are still people with spring scales who continue to conduct spot checks. Even after getting off the train, the conductors will go through the last sieve. What? One is to check the problem of overweight luggage, and the other is to check for smuggled goods. The toad mirrors, electronic watches, calculators, audio tapes, folding parasols, foreign tobacco and alcohol, and nylon cloth you are thinking about are all strictly checked. The key target to stick to. Once it is found out, it will be confiscated, and you will have to be punished severely."

"If you can really take the goods out of the train station safely, that's really lucky. But do you think you can feel at ease when you get to this point? Do you really think that when you sell things on the street, you can be sure Have you made a fortune? No! In the end, it depends on what you are selling! Will you be caught by the police!"

"Selling toad mirrors and folding umbrellas is not a small crime. But electronic products, tobacco, alcohol, and nylon cloth will definitely cause great trouble. Because they are all things that touch the national economy and the main economy, it is almost like reselling food stamps. It’s the same crime. It’s okay if someone in the bureau speaks for you. Otherwise, if it’s serious, you’ll just go in and the criminal punishment will start at least two years.”

"I'm not being alarmist, this is the capital, man. So you think carefully, although the profits are huge, how confident are you that you can make it? If you miss, how serious will the consequences be? I'm not afraid of your jokes, just Because I know these difficulties, I feel that I don't have the ability to deal with it all. I have been honestly staying in the capital, and I have lost my mind to sell goods."

For a person who is in urgent need of money, in fact, as long as the profit is enough, he is not afraid of any hardships.

Especially the one who is short of money is a businessman.

Then the desire for money is enough to motivate him to muster up the courage to overcome obstacles and strive for everything he wants.

But the premise is that you must first determine that the chance to win is in your own hands.

Believe that you can overcome difficulties through your own hard work and diligence.

If relying on luck, the outcome is completely resigned, it will inevitably make him lose confidence and weigh the gains and losses.

Zhang Shihui, who was still hopeful just now, suddenly fell into disappointment.

He covered his head and rubbed his hair all the time, and it became a stuffy gourd again.

It took a long time to slow down and make a sound in a low voice.

"Dude, this doesn't work either, that doesn't work either. You've blocked almost all roads with you. You really hit me badly. But what you said really makes sense, it's as if I'm following you. If so, it's as if you've already made such a trip."

"Thanks to you, I understand a lot now. The pay and the return are in direct proportion. Last time the neighbor helped me buy the goods, I thought that the boy who gave me glasses was asking for fifteen black, but now I don't think so. already."

He took a deep breath and seemed to have made a rather serious decision.

"How about doing this? I still have to make a trip to the south. But according to what you said, I won't get those dangling things. Why don't I just get some cheap clothes, leather shoes, etc.? Less is more. What do you think?"

And this is exactly what Ning Weimin wanted to see the most.

He smiled and handed a cigarette, "Dude, if you can think so, my spit is not in vain..."

But then, his words changed again.

With this rhythm, Zhang Shihui, who had just taken the cigarette from his hand, slipped his legs, almost slipping off the chair, and kowtowed to him.

"...But you're in a bit of a hurry. Didn't I tell you that I have an idea for you. If you just stay in the capital, it's easy, there's no risk, and you can make a lot of money, okay?"
