Rebirth 1983

Chapter 48 "Dou You Play" Incident

Ever since they began their regular acquisition business, Chen Song and Daniel Wang Yao have also become more and more busy. They are constantly collecting lobsters, processing lobsters, and buying lobsters every day. They also reap the joy of counting money while they are busy.

After working for more than two months in a row, there is no day off. Although I am very tired, it can even be said that I am tired like a dog, but seeing the money getting more and more, everyone is willing.

After all, being young is all about making money!
Except that the little girl still has the treatment of sleeping late and going to bed early and getting up early, the three of them can completely describe: they wake up earlier than chickens, and go to bed later than dogs.

However, in just over two months, the money earned by the three of them has increased from more than 200 yuan to more than 6000 yuan now.

This is undoubtedly an astonishing miracle!

Although Chen Song had already prepared for this, seeing such a large sum of money in front of him, he couldn't help but feel agitated.

After all, it is now 1983, just after the reform and opening up, and households with 6000 yuan are not so rich. This [-] yuan is enough to become the richest person in ten miles and eight townships.

Wang Yao happily hugged Chen Song, leaning tightly on his chest, sharing this rare joy, and even wept with joy after a while.

Feeling the softness and full curves of Wang Yao's figure in his arms, Chen Song couldn't help feeling flustered, and slowly put his hands on Wang Yao's waist, stroking her back and waist gently.

"Cry, cry, the hard days will eventually pass, and the better days are waiting for us in the future."

Wang Yao leaned her whole head on Chen Song's shoulder, tears of joy slowly fell from her eyes, her crying became softer, and finally became choking and sobbing.

From a happy family to being a widow after her husband died, Wang Yao undoubtedly put in a lot of effort to deal with the mother-in-law and sister-in-law who wanted to seize the family property and raise her daughter alone.

Seeing a large pile of ten-cent notes in exchange for months of hard work, Wang Yao finally let go of her tight strings.

After a while, Wang Yao realized that she pushed Chen Song away with a blushing face, turned around, and pretended to hold Xiao Yaotiao, so that everyone would not see the blushing on her face.

"What are you looking at?"

Chen Song found that Daniel came up to him sneakily, seeing the teasing expression on Daniel's honest and honest face at the moment, he was amused for a while.

"It seems that sister Wang Yao really treats you differently."

Daniel smiled and winked at Chen Song.

"Fuck off, little one!" Chen Song cursed with a smile.

"Okay, let's all come over and have a chat." Chen Song beckoned everyone to sit down.

"What are we going to do next, do you already have an idea?" Daniel pulled a stool and sat down.

This stool was sent by Mr. Yang Geng, an old carpenter in Yangjia Village. At that time, a series of furniture ordered by Chen Song, including a bed, several wooden cabinets, wooden sofas, several large boxes, a complete set of tables and chairs, etc. filled the whole house.

Although the price is high, there is nothing to say about the master craftsman's craftsmanship. Not only is the quality excellent, but also the carvings on many furniture are lifelike, which makes people praise it.

The little girl likes the wooden sofa very much. With the bought sponge cushions, it is very comfortable for sitting or lying down.

Wang Yao hugged Xiaoyao and sat down, the blushing on her face receded, but she still lowered her head, not daring to look at Chen Song.

"Everyone has also felt that the weather has passed the hottest two months. It is almost difficult for us to receive crayfish during this period. Instead, there are a lot of loaches and eels, so we can ensure that our turnover does not drop too much. Next, we have to consider new ideas."

Chen Song's words made Daniu and Wang Yao nod. In the first month of the purchase, there were still a lot of lobsters, and they were basically unbroken. In the second month, occasionally fellow villagers from the nearby villages sent lobsters over because of the high purchase price. But now, almost everyone can't catch many lobsters. Not only has the season passed, but also because of the two months of catching, the nearby lobsters have almost been digested.

"Yes, in the past, the third and twelfth uncles in the village would send crayfish every day, but they gradually came less and less. They didn't even come a while ago."

Daniel nodded.

"So we have to change." Chen Song stood up and walked around everyone, as if making up his mind: "I don't know if you noticed the price of soybeans in the market recently when you went to the county."

"Soybeans?"

Daniu and Wang Yao looked confused. They originally thought that Chen Song would talk about other business directions, but now they talked about soybean prices.

"What happened to the soybeans?"

To be honest, they didn't notice the price fluctuation of soybeans at all, and Chen Song paid special attention to various ingredients and soybeans because he needed to buy fried crayfish.

First of all, in the area of ​​Chenjia'ao, soybeans are rarely planted. Everyone eats soybeans and soy products, which are basically brought in from outside. In the field, everyone basically grows rice and corn, mainly food.

It is naturally impossible for Chen Song to tell them that in the future, the prices of several agricultural products will skyrocket. In this era, those big bosses who have just made money from the south have controlled the prices of agricultural products and hyped up various products including soybeans, garlic, sand ginger, green onions and so on.

The famous "garlic you ruthless", "bean you play", "jiang you army", "scallion hit wave", "sugar Gaozong" is also the beginning of this era.

Onions, ginger, and garlic are basically ingredients and auxiliary materials in vegetables. Compared with ordinary vegetables, the demand is very small, and the demand elasticity is also small.

Once the weather is abnormal, or there are pests and diseases, these things with low demand and low demand elasticity will easily reduce production.Once the production is reduced, the prices of these things will rise sharply. If some speculative capitalists enter the market to speculate, the prices of these agricultural products will rise beyond the sky.

As for soybeans, which Chen Song has always paid attention to in his memory, there was a large-scale hype in this era.

In my memory, starting from October 83, the price of soybeans in the province began to rise sharply in a series, and even rose to an extremely terrifying ten yuan per catty!
If Chen Song hadn't really experienced this in his previous life, I'm afraid he would think it was a fantasy!

You know, this was 1983, fat pork was only two or three yuan a catty, and soybeans were more than ten yuan, can you believe it?
Before this period of time, the price of soybeans had been very stable, hovering in the price range of around [-] to [-] cents per catty, but in just half a month, the price of soybeans skyrocketed from the original market price of [-] to [-] cents per catty to more than ten yuan per catty, and the price has increased by nearly [-] times!
If it wasn't for the capital shorting this agricultural product, artificially creating the illusion of a soybean shortage, driving up the market price, and achieving the goal of making huge profits, Chen Song could have written his name upside down!

And this year it's soybeans, next year it's garlic, followed by sand ginger, green onions...

Every one or two years, capital will come again for such wild operations that disrupt the market.

After all, it was in the early days of the country’s opening up to the outside world, and many domestic systems were not perfect. Such things were not uncommon at the time, and it was not uncommon. It was only in the next few years that the country gradually improved various market systems and deeply regulated the prices of various products. This phenomenon became less and less common in later generations.

This "Dou You Wan" incident came and went quickly. In Chen Song's memory, there were only two months before and after the incident. Those who entered early and retreated in time made a lot of money, while those who were greedy and wanted to make a fortune and hoarded a large amount of soybeans were locked up before they could ship them, and some were even caught by the country.

In Chen Song's previous life, there were relatives who were greedy and wanted to make a fortune, and hoarded a lot of soybeans. Unexpectedly, they could not keep up with the changes, and all the soybeans were thrown into their hands, which seriously hurt their vitality.

Now that Chen Song had already prepared for it, and he had more than 6000 payment in his hand to operate, it was unreasonable to miss this opportunity and not get a share of it.

Moreover, this is an opportunity to multiply his wealth several times, and he will not let this opportunity slip away!

"If you believe me, starting tomorrow, we will start buying soybeans in large quantities."

Chen Song looked at Wang Yao and Daniel with firm eyes.
