Siheyuan: Start with a big car

Zhang Tiande is a smart man. Even if he doesn't understand foreign words, he can still get a glimpse of the beautiful life abroad from the pictures.

In his opinion, drinking foreign wine, eating foreign food, driving a foreign car, and living in a foreign house are the days that men should really enjoy.

And their father and grandfather lived like cattle and horses.

Just to live the kind of good life you imagined, the first thing is to have money, you have to have enough money.

Only in this way can we find a way to sneak to the south, then find a way to take a boat out to sea, and finally reach the other side of the ocean.

And that kind of money can't be earned by working as a worker for several lifetimes, so we have to find some convenient ways.

Zhang Tiande adhered to this belief. After graduating from junior high school, he refused his father's request to take over and wandered the streets all day long, looking for opportunities to make a fortune.

After wandering around for nearly two years, Zhang Tiande got acquainted with the gang of green men who stole things everywhere, and soon realized the business opportunities.

Those brainless guys didn't have any business sense after stealing things.

As long as they can get 20 yuan for a brand new [-]-inch bumper, they will be very satisfied with it.

A plum blossom watch only costs ten yuan.

As for those antiques, these guys who hadn't even finished elementary school just sold them as ordinary bowls and basins.

When he heard that the guys were excited about selling a gold bracelet for five yuan, Zhang Tiande felt that his opportunity had come.

He invited all the green men in the county to have a meal at the most luxurious hotel in the county, and announced at the dinner table that in the future, those green men who wanted to sell stolen goods could trade with him directly.

Since Zhang Tiande had already become famous on the streets of the county town, the green-skinned people who had not yet realized that they had been reduced to mere fish raised their hands in the air and cheered.

After all, for them, stealing is relatively easy, but selling stolen goods is more difficult.

Sometimes, the stolen goods have not found a buyer for a long time. In order to avoid being discovered, they will even throw away the stolen goods as garbage.

Now there are people who are willing to take the initiative to help sell the stolen goods, which is just what they want.

In the following years, Zhang Tiande made a lot of money by helping these green men sell stolen goods, and at the same time he also met many prominent figures in Huangyuan County.

At this time, he was very business-minded and did not stand still, but chose to expand his business.

He wants to open a shop and use it as a stronghold. In this way, he can make his "customers" more confident, purchase more stolen goods, and save enough money to travel abroad as soon as possible.

It's just that these days, all the shops on the streets are state-owned. Whether it's a breakfast shop, a shop, a supply and marketing cooperative or a car repair shop on the street, the employees inside are all formal employees of the state.

The business Zhang Tiande was doing was not on the table. Even the prominent people he knew would not be able to help him open a state-owned store.

With no other choice, Zhang Tiande focused on the illegal waste spots on the outskirts of the city.

These days, the monthly scrap collection is also state-run, but the state-run scrap points not only have low purchase prices, but also have poor service attitudes. Residents have to swallow their anger every time they go to sell scraps.

Later, several shabby households in suburban communes found a few dilapidated shacks and established a illegal waste point.

The purchase price is higher than that of the state-owned scrap shop, and the service attitude is much better, and it is open 24 hours a day.

Of course, the residents of the county chose to sell their scraps at black scrap points.

Relevant units in the county have also thought about rectifying those illegal waste sites, but considering that the lives of those in dilapidated households are not easy, and those shacks are owned by communes on the outskirts of the city, which are beyond their jurisdiction, they pretend not to notice. arrive.

The black waste spot took root and grew vigorously, and came into Zhang Tiande's sight.

After he conducted several investigations into the black scrap spot while pretending to sell scrap, he immediately made up his mind to take down the black scrap spot.

Because this place is so suitable for hiding stolen goods. Who would have thought that there is a calligraphy and painting of a Ming Dynasty person hidden under a pile of waste paper!Who would have thought that among a pile of broken wine bottles there would be a vase from the previous dynasty!

In addition, he has now recruited several little brothers, who are usually responsible for helping him purchase stolen goods and deliver goods.

These people need a relatively legal identity cover so that they will not be noticed.

What better person to use as a cover than a garbage collector?

Therefore, the day after Zhang Tiande left the illegal waste site, he summoned a few brothers and held a meeting.

At the meeting, Zhang Tiande unified the minds of the little brothers and distributed weapons such as hoes and machetes to the little brothers.

He also promised that once they win the illegal waste spot, each person will be given a bonus of [-] cents, and he will also treat them to a feast at the most luxurious restaurant in the city.

With bonuses and food, those people suddenly became excited, armed themselves with weapons, roared, and rushed into the black waste point.

It cannot be said that the low-income people in the black scrap spot have no fighting ability. After all, they are all gangsters and often fight over scraps.

It's just that these people, facing Zhang Tiande's "regular army", had no ability to resist, and were quickly driven out of the black waste point.

Seeing that the illegal scrap shop they had been running for many years was robbed, those who had settled down wanted to take it back, but they soon discovered that this was an impossible task.

In terms of force, they are no match for Zhang Tiande and the others, and because the black waste spot itself is illegal, they have no way to find official support.

There is no other way, those poor people can only swallow their teeth.

After Zhang Tiande grabbed the black scrap spot, he also fulfilled his promise. After a big celebration, he officially started the road of development and growth.

The development of the matter was similar to what he had guessed. Since the establishment of the illegal waste point, Zhang Tiande's business has rapidly tripled.

He also recruited a few crooks and began to send these crooks to deceive and abduct people in the county.

After having money, Zhang Tiande was prepared for danger in times of peace, trained several confidants, and also purchased a lot of shotguns to build the Black Waste Point into a strong stronghold.

"Director Li, although you people are powerful, I think it is impossible to take down Zhang Tiande in one fell swoop."

On the oxcart, after introducing Zhang Tiande’s situation, Manager Zhang kindly reminded him.

Of course, he didn't necessarily have good intentions, because this time Li Weidong went to the county's black waste spot and specially brought Manager Zhang with him.

If he fails to capture the black waste point in one fell swoop this time, he will bear the brunt of the consequences as a traitor and will be dealt with by Zhang Tiande.

Manager Zhang is very clear about Zhang Tiande's methods. Although this guy talks politely and always has a harmless smile on his face, his methods are actually very cruel.

Not long ago, a guy sent to the countryside to rob tombs broke a Ming Dynasty porcelain plate because he was chased by villagers on his way back.

After coming back, Zhang Tiande tied him to a pillar in the black waste spot and chopped off the guy's little thumb with a machete, and he did so in front of everyone.Manager Zhang was among them and was so frightened that he almost peed.

The things he committed this time were much bigger than that guy.

Li Weidong chuckled and said, "If you are afraid."

"Can you let me go and prevent me from participating in this operation?" Manager Zhang was overjoyed.

Li Weidong rolled his eyes: "What good things are you thinking about, grandson? If you are afraid, tell us all the arrangements in the black waste point now. Only in this way can we strive for the greatest success rate."

Manager Zhang had no choice but to think for a long time with his eyes raised, and explained the situation in the black waste spot in detail.

Generally speaking, there are five young men in the black scrap spot. They are Zhang Tiande's escorts and will not leave the scrap shop to perform tasks on weekdays.

These five people are guarding the illegal scrap shop. In addition to protecting Manager Zhang, they are also responsible for purchasing scraps.

The weapons they used.
Li Weidong burst out laughing after hearing this. According to Manager Zhang's description, this Zhang Tiande was a powerful figure, nothing more than that.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will understand how someone like Zhang Tiande, who only went to junior high school and has not received formal training, can deploy a tight defense.

However, the black scrap points are open every day, and residents in the city and people who specialize in buying scraps go to the scrap shop to sell scraps.

If you are not careful, you can easily injure people by accident.

It was already noon when the ox cart arrived at Huangyuan County.

Because Wang Erdan and the others were leaving in a hurry, they did not prepare dry food.

Li Weidong couldn't let them work hungry. When he encountered a state-owned restaurant, he took out his money and national food stamps and asked Sun Lanhua to go in and buy a dozen pancakes.

Huangyuan County is located in the north, and residents like to eat pasta. Even the cooks in state-owned restaurants can make good pancakes.

The pancake was toasted to a crispy brown, and still had a warm white air. Taking a bite while it was still hot, the unique fragrance of wheat immediately danced on the tip of the tongue. Li Weidong squinted his eyes in enjoyment.

He felt that this stuff was much more delicious than the dim sum in Daoxiang Village in the capital.

If Li Weidong is like this, let alone the gang of commune members. They haven't eaten white flour for nearly half a year, let alone this kind of pancake mixed with meat and oil.

Wang Erdan swallowed the cake into his stomach in one breath, wiped the residue from the corner of his mouth, stuffed his fingers into his mouth, licked the residue into his mouth, enjoying the last bit of delicious food, and then burped with satisfaction.

"Brother Wei Dong, I owe you this time. I will definitely pay you back when I get the food back."

Wang Erdan said bold words, but felt a little weak in his heart.

He had already calculated it just now. Those pancakes just now were worth one yuan and fifty cents. Even if they got the food back, they wouldn't be able to pay it back.

Li Weidong smiled and did not correct his statement, which made Wang Erdan feel a lot more relaxed.

Although Huangyuan County is a county town, the buildings on the streets are very old. Most of the people walking on the streets are members of the surrounding communes.

The means of transportation taken by the members was naturally an ox cart.

Therefore, Li Weidong and his party were not conspicuous.

As the oxcart wandered to the western suburbs of the county, the number of pedestrians gradually became sparse, and occasionally people carrying large and small bags of waste passed by on the road.

"These people specialize in buying scraps in the county and then selling them to black scrap points to earn the price difference. They say it's a business, but it's actually hard work and they can only earn about five cents a day." Manager Zhang introduced in detail.

He didn't know what was useful to Li Weidong and the others, so he introduced everything he knew along the way, and his voice was already a little hoarse.

"A waste collector."

Li Weidong thought for a moment and suddenly shouted to Uncle Wang who was driving the bullock cart: "Uncle, please stop the car."

Uncle Wang was an old livestock herder in the village. Hearing the shout, he just gently pulled the reins, and the old scalper stopped.

"Brother Wei Dong, what are you going to do? The first thing we have to do is to be inconspicuous so as not to be discovered by Zhang Tiande's people."

Seeing Li Weidong about to get off the bullock cart, Wang Erdan held him back worriedly.

"This must be done." Li Weidong patted the back of his hand.

Although Wang Erdan didn't know what was going on, he still let go.

Li Weidong smiled slightly, jumped off the bullock cart, and walked slowly to an old man carrying scraps.

The old man also specializes in collecting waste. At this time, more than 50 kilograms of waste on his shoulders made him breathless.

The old man sighed in his heart. If it were ten years in the morning, let alone fifty kilograms, even if it was one hundred kilograms, he could carry it for dozens of miles in one breath.

It's really good to be young.
At this moment, a figure stood in front of the old man: "Old comrade, can you sell me your scraps?"

Looking at the young man wearing a gray tunic suit, the old man couldn't believe his ears for a moment.

This person was dressed like a leader, and as his arms moved, there was a faint shadow of a watch on the cuffs.

The old man often deals with people like this. They don't even bother to clean up the waste in their own homes and offices. They just sit there and wait for the waste collectors to come to their door.

How is it possible to buy scrap products?
When did your ears break?
The old man put down the waste and rubbed his ears vigorously.

Li Weidong didn't expect that one sentence would make the old man doubt his body, and he quickly said with a smile: "Uncle, you heard me right, I just want to buy your scraps. You collected these things, you can estimate the price yourself. That’s it.”

"Ah, you really collect scraps." The old man was convinced that he heard correctly. He scratched his head and said, "This thing is not worth much. It contains more than ten kilograms of paper, a few aluminum pot lids, and If you have some scrap metal, just give me one dollar and fifty-two cents."

After saying that, the old man was afraid that Li Weidong would misunderstand, so he quickly explained: "I only spent one yuan and forty cents to buy these things. I carried them so far and spent so much effort to earn only ten cents and two cents, not counting. Is that much?"

"Not much, not much, not much at all." Li Weidong took out a wad of bills from his pocket, counted out one dollar and fifty-two cents and handed it to the old man.

After the old man took the money, he did not immediately put it in his pocket, but counted out two cents and handed it to Li Weidong.

"Comrade, I won't hide it from you. These things are sold to the black waste point. According to the price, they can indeed be sold for one dollar and fifty-two cents, but those people will definitely deduct two cents as usual."

"Routine?" Li Weidong asked, staring at Lao Liutou without accepting the money.

Old Liu Tou sighed and said: "Because those people want to weigh the waste, 2 cents is the price of using the scale." (End of Chapter)
