Age: Passionate youth, starting from graduation assignment

Chapter 274 Get rich and buy a house
Xu Jichang shook his head: "I wanted to go there myself."

"Not assigned by Dongfang Fertilizer Factory."

Chen Xiaoen was confused: "The capital is so prosperous, why do you still..."

"You'll find out the secret later."

Xu Jichang said leisurely.

What secrets can there be?
After hearing this, Chen Xiaoen became curious, but he couldn't ask any more questions, so he had to keep the question in his mind.

……

After a while, the busiest time for Pioneer Distribution Company has passed.

Xu Jichang boarded the train to Northeast China and stayed in the same carriage with other cadres and employees of Dongfang Fertilizer Factory.

Xu Jichang had been away from the fertilizer factory for some time, and he didn't have much in common with the others, so he didn't join them in chatting, bragging, or playing cards along the way.

There were also some people who saw the teacher-student relationship between Xu Jichang and Director Gao, and approached him to talk and get close to him.

Xu Jichang just dealt with it and didn't pay much attention to it.

The journey became a bit boring for a while.

Fortunately, Li Yanran is also in the team returning to Northeast China this time. The two of them can occasionally talk without arousing suspicion.

"How does it feel after staying in the capital for so long?"

At the junction of the train carriages, Xu Jichang looked through the window at the receding and disappearing scenery outside, and asked Li Yanran.

“It’s warmer than the Northeast, and there’s more food, drink and fun.”

Li Yanran stood beside him and replied somewhat cautiously, "I just don't have enough money."

Xu Jichang understood why she said that.

At present, the same set of wage standards applies to state-owned units across the country.

This standard is tilted towards remote areas. For the same rank, wages in many small and remote counties are higher than in big cities.

Therefore, after Li Yanran came to the capital, her salary did not rise but fell. Coupled with the increase in consumption options and the increase in expenses, she naturally felt that she did not have enough money to spend.

"You have to learn to live frugally."

Xu Jichang advised in a low voice, then turned his head and looked around to make sure no one took out a wad of banknotes from their pockets and stuffed them into Li Yanran.

Li Yanran was startled and instinctively stretched out her hand to stop: "What are you..."

"Take it."

Xu Jichang ordered without any doubt.

Li Yanran had no choice but to take the money, and finally looked around with a guilty conscience, for fear of being seen by others.

"I'll slowly save money to pay off."

After putting the money away, Li Yanran whispered to Xu Jichang, her eyes a little evasive.

She was sincere, she just felt that Xu Jichang was too kind to her, so she didn't dare to face him.

"tell you later."

"I'm going back first, so as not to make my comrades suspicious."

Xu Jichang left the connection between the carriages and returned to his seat.

In the afternoon, when the train arrived at the train station, Xu Jichang and the others rushed to the passenger terminal opposite before catching the last train.

By the time the bus arrived at the county town, it was already dead of night.

According to the arrangement, cadres and workers can go back to live in their own homes or stay in the guest house in the factory area.

Xu Jichang chose to go back to his home, while Li Yanran planned to go to the guest house.

"Don't go to the guest house."

In the dark night, Li Yanran felt her hand being grasped by a warm hand, and at the same time Xu Jichang's voice came from behind.

Li Yanran looked around nervously and made sure that other cadres and employees had left the station before she dared to look back.

"If you don't go to the guest house, where are you going?"

She asked in a deliberately light voice, with a bit of charm in her voice.

"do not know."

Xu Jichang let go of her hand and strode toward the station door.

But there really is him.

Li Yanran looked at Xu Jichang's tall back, resented in her heart, and quickened her pace to catch up.

……

Early the next morning, in the bedroom.

Xu Jichang got out of bed feeling refreshed, while Li Yanran's waist was weak and her legs were sore. It took a while before she got up from the bed.

Since Xu Jichang went to the capital, there has been no fire at home in the county town for a long time.

Xu Jichang was too lazy to start the stove again and went directly to the state-owned breakfast shop on the street with Li Yanran to eat.

"I've been to the capital, and now I feel like it's broken when I look at it here."

During the meal, Li Yanran muttered softly.

"No. Otherwise, why would everyone want to go to a big city?"

Xu Jichang finished the last dumpling in the bowl and stretched.

The two arrived at the factory together and attended the meeting as arranged before departure.

The meeting was chaired by Qian Jinsong, director of the left-behind department of the factory, and the executive deputy director made the opening speech.

As the manager of the distribution company, Xu Jichang was a special person at the meeting. He didn't even bother to take notes.

During the meeting, the executive deputy factory director arranged inspection and supervision tasks for everyone present, among which Xu Jichang had the easiest task.

He also knew very well that Xu Jichang came here mainly to express his attitude and did not need to do any actual work.

After the meeting, everyone went to various departments to inspect according to their respective division of labor.

Xu Jichang's task is to inspect the tree planting situation in the factory area and highlight the relaxed and happy atmosphere.

Before getting off work at noon, he finished all the work, reported to the executive deputy factory director and left.

The executive deputy director knew that Xu Jichang was not currently from Dongfang Fertilizer Factory, so he did not impose any restrictions on him. On the contrary, he told him to pay attention to the pace of work and not to tire himself out.

After leaving the factory area, Xu Jichang took the bus directly, walked some distance, climbed over the mountains and ridges back to Heixiazitun, and found Shunzi.

Shunzi was shocked when he saw Xu Jichang: "Brother Chang, when did you come back?"

"yesterday."

"I will stay in the county for a while. During this period, you can increase my purchasing efforts. I will buy as much mountain goods as I can."

"The scope of acquisition should not be limited to a few places, it can be anywhere from ten miles to eight towns. All the goods will be shipped to my home and I will be responsible for the transportation."

Xu Jichang explained concisely and concisely, handing the money prepared in advance to Shunzi, "This is the purchase price of 1 yuan. If it is not enough, ask me to get it."

Shunzi took the sack containing the money and was shocked by the weight inside: "Brother Chang...what do you want?"

"If you transport it to the capital and sell it, you can get a higher price than if you sell it in the county town."

Xu Jichang made no secret, "As for how to transport it, you don't have to worry about it."

Shunzi's eyes lit up after hearing this: "Okay, I'm not busy with anything else these days, I just focus on buying mountain goods!"

"rely on you."

Xu Jichang patted Shunzi on the shoulder and said, "I'm going back to the county seat."

……

Three days later, the first batch of Shan freight arrived.

There were twenty sacks in total, which filled four full carriages.

It can be seen from the sign that in addition to the Heixiazi Tunben team's carriage, there are two other production team's carriages inside.

Xu Jichang didn't ask Shunzi how he got the other two carriages. He had been doing mountain goods acquisitions for so long, so it was not surprising that he had consolidated a little transport capacity.

Xu Jichang asked Shunzi to pile up the mountain goods, and when he left with the drivers, he would put all the mountain goods into the space shelves.

The total weight of these mountain products is about one thousand kilograms. Xu Jichang looked at them as if he were seeing yellow gold.

Selling in the county is the same price.

Shipping it to the capital is another price.

Later, Xu Jichang went to work in the factory during the day and came back at night to receive the mountain goods delivered by Shunzi into the space.

During this period, he gave Shunzi another 5000 yuan in purchase money until the space was filled with the recovered mountain goods.

Adding one piece of these mountain goods to a total of more than 7 kilograms, enough to sell for a while.Two months later, Xu Jichang was one of the first people to return to the capital and boarded the train with a lot of goods.

There are not many people in this group who have returned to Beijing. Including Xu Jichang, there are five in total. Basically, they all have their own special circumstances.

Two of them have elderly children at home to take care of, and the other two are educated youths who have returned to the capital.

Xu Jichang's identity is different. He is not originally from Dongfang Fertilizer Factory. Being able to travel thousands of miles to participate in the trip is mostly a statement of his own.

The speed of trains has increased in the past year.

It took Xu Jichang two days and two nights to return to the capital this time, which was much faster than the first time he went to the capital.

After arriving in the capital, Xu Jichang slept soundly all day. After getting rid of the fatigue of the journey, he immediately took out more than 200 kilograms of mountain goods and carried them on his bicycle to sell in the suburban market.

This is his first time selling mountain products in the capital, many of which are specialties of the capital. He is not sure how high the price should be.

Then sell it at five times the price in the Northeast.

Xu Jichang decided.

"Hericium, the best Hericium, it costs four yuan a pound."

Xu Jicai shouted loudly to Cinderella, which quickly attracted several vegetable sellers.

One of them, an old man who looked like a retired cadre, put his hands behind his back and smiled, "Four yuan a pound, you are selling gold."

"Authentic Hericium mushrooms are picked from the mountains and dried in the sun."

Xu Jichang picked out a mushroom from the mountain goods, shook it in his hand and said, "The price is not exorbitant."

The uncle was moved by what he said: "Okay, give me two kilograms."

"okay."

Xu Jichang immediately grabbed two handfuls from inside and weighed them: "A total of two catties and one liang, eight yuan and four."

"Young man, what kind of mushroom is this?"

Xu Jichang had just handed over the weighed Hericium mushrooms to the uncle when an aunt next to him came over.

"This is called chicken fungus, two pieces per pound, it's delicious."

……

People kept coming up to ask curious questions, and Xu Jichang patiently answered them one by one. It didn't take long for him to sell out more than 100 kilograms of mountain products.

That's all, I earned a total of 600 yuan.

In the previous county town, this was simply unthinkable.

Xu Jichang took advantage of this and took out some mountain products from the space to sell on weekends. On average, he could sell one or two thousand kilograms each time.

In less than a month, Xu Jichang sold more than half of the mountain goods inside.

The income is also amazing, adding up to more than 19, nearly 20.

Xu Jichang went to the post office to remit a sum of money to Shunzi according to the dividend ratio agreed between him and Shunzi.

The remaining mountain products will not be sold for the time being.

When everyone buys New Year goods at the end of the year, prices should still rise.

It will be more cost-effective to sell it by then.

Excluding the dividends given to Shunzi, the money in Xu Jichang's hands, combined with the money from selling mountain goods this time, was nearly 30.

It's not even 80s yet, and with so much money in hand, he is definitely a wealthy person.

Xu Jichang felt that he should plan carefully how to spend the money.

The current size of the yard is acceptable, but if you want all your girls to live in it...

Well, it can only be said that it is far from enough.

Xu Jichang decided to spend 2 yuan to build a large yard nearby.

When Xu Jichang went to Fang Runsu's home and told her this idea, Fang Runsu agreed very much.

"My children now keep asking me where my dad is, and it makes me feel uncomfortable sometimes."

Fang Runsu muttered, "It's great to live close to you."

"Well, I heard that the family next door to me wants to sell their house."

"His yard is quite spacious. I'll ask about it another day."

Xu Jichang caressed Fang Runsu's back and said, "I bought it, you can move in with your children."

Fang Runsu looked very happy, but he was a little reluctant to throw it away.

Just next door next door?Can't it be closer?

"What about next door?"

Fang Runsu asked.

"There should be a public house next door, which is vacant."

"I don't know which unit it belongs to at the moment. I'll find out later and see if they can sell it."

"Actually, it's only one yard away, so it's not that far."

Xu Jichang said in relief.

Fang Runsu leaned into his arms: "Well, then we can go to work together every day."

……

The next day, Xu Jichang found the family selling the house.

The other party is a big family, with a total of four generations and more than ten people, all living in this three-entry courtyard.

The person in charge was a middle-aged man, the eldest grandson of the family. Xu Jichang learned from the conversation that the other person was the chief engineer of the Railway Design Institute.

After chatting with Xu Jichang for a while, the other party explained, "I am going to work in another place, and then the whole family will go with me."

Xu Jichang smiled: People these days obviously lack experience in selling houses.

In just a few words, the flaw was revealed.

"Oh. Then you are in a hurry to deal with this house, right?"

Xu Jichang asked meaningfully.

The middle-aged man's expression froze: "It's not that we are in a hurry."

Upon seeing this, his wife quickly added: "Our work unit will allocate a house to us. Even if we don't sell this house, we won't have to worry about not having a house to live in."

The other party is in a hurry.

Xu Jichang saw that the scene was getting a little tense, so he changed the subject: "Let's take a look at the house again. I haven't seen your backyard yet."

Led by the couple, Xu Jichang walked around the backyard again and asked them for details.

"Your backyard is not good, it hasn't been drained yet."

Xu Jichang deliberately frowned and shook his head, "I'm afraid I won't be able to sell it for the price."

"It's about 9000 yuan. Do you want to buy it?"

The middle-aged man asked pretending to be calm.

Xu Jichang simply killed him with a knife: "It's too expensive, at most [-]."

The other party's wife curled her lips: "No. How can you bargain like that?"

"Then you can quote a price."

"Eighteen thousand, if you don't want to buy it, I'll find someone else to buy it."

"How do you count furniture..."

……

It took a full two hours for Xu Jichang to negotiate all the purchase and sale matters with the other party.

All the furniture belongs to the other party, and the price is 300 yuan.

Three days later, the other party went to the street office to complete the purchase and sale procedures, and agreed to vacate within half a month.

"I'm buying another house."

After signing, Xu Jichang returned home and informed Du Xiaojing of the important news.

Du Xiaojing was doing a question when he heard it and put down his pen: "Where did you buy it and how much did it cost?"

"It's right next door. He's over [-]."

Xu Jichang pointed to the left and said.
