Chapter 158 Reform and Opening Up

Not everyone is like the children of Lao Yan's family, who are afraid that if they live close to their parents, they will be calculated by their parents.

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu stayed away from the courtyard because of Liu Haizhong's beating and scolding. Now that the second uncle has built two temporary buildings, there are advantages to take advantage of, so they both choose to move back to the courtyard.

It may even be because of who lives in the two temporary buildings and who will take care of Liu Haizhong's pension, the two brothers fought, causing the second uncle to accidentally injure him.

……

After the country's reform and opening up, Yan Jiecheng's heart inevitably became agitated.

As more and more educated young people came back from the countryside, they couldn’t make enough work arrangements and could only rely on themselves. Small merchants and hawkers began to increase, such as shoe repairers, bicycle repairers, sellers of various snacks, and various handicrafts.

However, even if these people make more money than the workers, they will still be despised by the workers. The society still recognizes formal units and public iron rice bowls. It is obvious that families with girls are not willing to let girls marry small traders.

Before the time came, it was impossible for Yan Xiecheng to directly abandon his job in the rolling mill and choose to be a trader.

When Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li went to Lao Yu's house again, they happened to meet Uncle Yu Li who came to Lao Yu's house.

Although Cousin Yu Li is a bit poorer, she has a good character. After borrowing 50 yuan back then, she gave Yan Jiecheng a blue and white porcelain bottle, and the borrowed money and food have been paid back one after another over the years.

I remembered that there were many antiques in my uncle’s village, and my uncle’s family had many children, so young people from rural areas in the suburbs would choose to go to the city to do odd jobs to make money.

There are already candidates for cooperation. After discussing with Uncle Yu Li, Yan Jiecheng decided to ask Uncle Yu to help collect antiques in the countryside, and gave Uncle 200 yuan. It hasn't risen yet.Things are from the Republic of China at the latest, and you can buy them at the price of cabbage, so you are not afraid of losing money.

Yan Jiecheng also asked Uncle Yu Li to ask the eldest and second child to come to the city in a few days, and Yan Jiecheng would bring them to make money.

Yan Jiecheng first rented a three-room house in a single courtyard, and then bought two second-hand tricycles, planning to ask his cousin's children to help him buy scraps.

Collecting waste is not the purpose. The main thing is that two people can help collect some antiques through the streets.

Yan Jiecheng went to the warehouse back then, and after doing it a few times, there was actually no shortage of antiques. However, most of these antiques that were sold as scraps were obtained by chance.

It’s like Uncle Li’s two sons, Yu Aiguo and Yu Aijun. After Yu Aijun arrived, Yan Jiecheng arranged for two people to ride tricycles to collect enough scraps.

Yan Jiecheng rented a house, provided food and tricycles for two people, and paid wages for them. He was trying to show that his uncle had a good character and his children were well-educated. They were all honest children.

Every few days, Yan Jiecheng would go to the rented yard to pick out the old items that his brothers had bought, and the two brothers also studied with Yan Jiecheng, a half-baked guy.

After the two of them worked for a period of time, the effect was not bad. The capital city has been built for hundreds of years, and there is a large stock of antiques. After collecting it deliberately, you can receive some old things from time to time.

But after a long time, Yan Xiecheng found that although the unit price was not high, but he collected too much, the money earned from waste products was still beyond his means.

He also needs to provide his uncle with the money to buy antique furniture in the countryside. Yan Xiecheng has only saved more than 1 yuan by relying on the system to sign in and sell fruits for more than ten years.

You can't cash in on antiques, you can only find a way to open up a way to make money.

Relying on mountains to eat mountains, relying on water to eat water, and relying on collecting waste products, the most convenient thing for Yan Xiecheng is to choose one of the refurbished radios and bicycles.

As the technical content of assembled bicycles is too low, there are risks in buying and selling. In the end, I chose to refurbish the radio, so that Yu Aiguo can sell it by the way when Yu Aijun usually collects waste products.

Yan Jiecheng bought a multimeter, soldering iron, tin, spare parts, sandpaper, paint, and radios are very common in the city, but there are not enough people who can repair radios. Most radios have to be scrapped after they are damaged.

Even if the things bought for more than 100 yuan are broken, they can't be thrown away directly, and they are all kept at home.

After deciding to renovate the radio, Yu Aiguo was able to speak a little bit. Depending on the appearance, he could receive seven or eight sets ranging from five yuan to ten yuan.

In the evening, the two brothers were in charge of disassembling and reassembling the case, and Yan Jiecheng was in charge of repairing it. The three of them worked well together, but Yan Jiecheng came home every day when he was eating, which finally provoked Yu Li to question him.

"Why do you go to the waste collection every day recently, and you are patriotic again, what did the Patriotic Army do?"

"It's not like buying antiques all the time. It's not enough to make money there. I brought two people to renovate the radio, and use the money earned from refurbishing the radio to supplement the collection."

"How much did you spend? Is the gold in troubled times and antiques in prosperous times you said reliable? And how do you know how to repair radios? I don't know how?" Yu Li said suspiciously.

"It doesn't cost much, it must be reliable, and even our dad knows the truth. I can even repair steel rolling mills and machine tools. Can't I repair small radios? I can repair ordinary household appliances. I want you to know everything." Yan Jiecheng said with a smile.

"Did you make any money refurbishing radios?"

"Why don't you make money? We charge 60 to [-] yuan and sell it for [-] to [-] yuan. We can build more than a dozen units a day!"

"Here's the money you made, bring it." Hearing the money-making fan Yu Li's eyes light up, she stretched out her hand and said.

"I can't give it to you now. Radios don't sell that fast. Let's do it first. When there are more radios in the village, I'll find someone to sell them."

"No one sells it. I can go off work and sell radios. If I sell them, I can take the money directly."

"What good things are you thinking about? You don't go home after get off work, what about the children?" Yan Jiecheng said.

"I also want to make more money, as long as you go home early and cook, the children like your cooking better anyway. When the children grow up, they can play by themselves, and there are not many other things." Yu Li still did not give up.

"If you are really too free, look for a house and see where there are courtyard houses for sale. We should buy a house!"

"Why do we have to buy a house by ourselves, a courtyard house, and go outside to go to the toilet. It's so nice to live in the family building of the unit, but I finally moved out of the courtyard house." Yu Liman was unwilling Said.
