Reborn to be rich

Chapter 28 Tractor

"This is how the shop entertains guests, why don't you have a cup of tea?" Zhang Guodong seemed to be at ease here, half of this kind of business depends on his wit and half on courage.

The young man in white sat on one side of the tea table, and Zhang Guodong sat directly opposite him. He washed his hands by the side of the rockery pool, and then wiped them with the towel on the table. His movements were skillful and natural. Brew your own tea.

After the tea was ready, the young man in white put a cup of tea in front of Zhang Guodong. Zhang Guodong took a sip carefully.

"I know you are here from Lao Pao. Some gadgets are collected from the countryside, and there is no problem." Zhang Guodong said, and you took out the set of silver jugs and wine glasses from the cloth bag, three 2 taels of silver Ingots, one gold and one silver, two hairpins, and a dozen gold coins.

Old Pao was Zhang Guodong's friend in Beijing in his previous life, and he led Zhang Guodong on this path. He has a very wide range of paths in this line of work. As long as there are good things, he will not hesitate to look at them.

"These two hairpins are not worth much, so I added 10% to the price. This set of silverware is 2000 yuan, and the two ingots are official silver from the early Qing Dynasty. One is 600! These few gold coins... are worth 180 each. "The young man in white stopped talking after finishing speaking, picked up the brewed tea and began to taste it slowly.

Zhang Guodong knew that the young man in front of him who was not much older than himself was the one sitting here. He was almost the same when he saw this young man for the first time in his last life. He was already familiar with most of the antiques when he was in his 20s. The strength is unfathomable.

Zhang Guodong pushed all the things in front of the other party. As soon as the young man in white recruited him, a man came in from the back of the shop, picked up the things on the table and left.

This transaction method is the transaction method in the antique industry. If you don't accept everything at a fixed price, you don't say anything, so the ability of the owner of the store often determines the profit of the store.

Not long after, the man who took Zhang Guodong's things came back again. He took out a piece of paper and put it on the table, and put a bag of money behind the piece of paper.

Zhang Guodong took the piece of paper, on which was written 28 yuan for 1280 grams of gold hairpins, 15 yuan for 120 grams of silver hairpins, 2000 yuan for silver utensils, 1200 yuan for silver ingots, and 14 yuan for 2520 gold coins, totaling 7120 yuan.

After reading the note, Zhang Guodong opened the bag, and after confirming that there was money in it and that the amount was about the same, he tied up the bag, held it in his hands, got up and was about to leave.

"Could you use the back door for a walk? Just now I met a few wolves who have been following me to bother me." The antique industry likes to refer to people who watch the market as wolves. They have a keen sense of smell, and it is difficult for those who are blocked to escape.

"Take him!" The young man in white waved his hand, tore up the paper on the table and threw it into a special trash can.

Zhang Guodong turned eastward and westward following the man, passed three yards and finally came to the back door of a grain and oil store, the man saw that his task was completed, turned and returned the same way, Zhang Guodong could walk out from the grain and oil store.

It turned out that Zhang Guodong had already come to the back street of Mushi City, and he didn't see the people who were watching him just now. When he walked to the intersection, a bus came, and Zhang Guodong got on the bus and left.

Sitting on the bus, Zhang Guodong breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was very relaxed today, the danger involved is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. Since the beginning of trading in the market, there have been several waves of people staring at him. When I came to Jubaozhai, I had a seemingly relaxed contact with the young man in white. If there is a single detail wrong in the rules of the way, it may be difficult for me to be kind today.In fact, he didn't want to deal with the young people in white, otherwise he wouldn't want to sell what he had in the street market.

The bus goes south. Zhang Guodong got off the bus after leaving the south gate. There is still a wheat field outside the south gate. There are only a few villages with many kinds of shops, which can be regarded as entering the urban evolution mode.

I found an old haggis soup shop, and after Zhang Guodong ate three bowls in one go, he stayed in a nice hotel on the side of Chang'an Road.

When he arrived at the hotel and closed the door and windows, Zhang Guodong took out all the money and sorted it out. The total of 12720 yuan was worth the trip. From now on, he will safely hand over everything to Jubaozhai even if he earns less.

In the evening, I asked about the Chang'an Tractor Factory nearby.Today there are three tractor factories in Chang'an City, the largest of which is Hongxing Tractor Factory, which mainly produces walking tractors.The second is the Chang'an No. 3 Tractor Factory, which mainly produces Chang'an series of agricultural vehicles. The quality of the tractors is generally not cheap. The Chang'an No. 95 Tractor Factory closed down around [-].

The last one is Zhengzhou Agricultural Trade Machinery Co., Ltd., which is a new local enterprise. It was quite famous during this period. The tractors they made are still used by many rural families 30 years later, and the quality is the best.

Early the next morning, Zhang Guodong took the bus to Chang'an No. [-] Tractor Factory in the south of the city. When he entered the gate of the factory, he didn't see anyone there. Zhang Guodong followed the noisy direction of the factory to find the person in charge of reception.

"What are you doing?" A lady who looked about 40 years old, with painted fingernails and lipstick, saw Zhang Guodong coming in, and looked up at him slightly.

"I want to buy a tractor. Is this a tractor station?" If Zhang Guodong hadn't seen them wearing the clothes of the tractor factory, he would have doubted that the factory had nothing to do with them.

"Buy a tractor and fill out the form here!" The woman was eating melon seeds while talking to her colleague, without looking up at him.

Zhang Guodong took the form and saw that there were 5 types of tractors to choose from, and there was an atlas introducing the performance of the tractors on the side of the counter, but the staff had no intention of showing him.

“12马的长安1（手扶）拖拉机3200元，15马长安1（手扶）拖拉机3800元。这种拖拉机见得真的不多。”张国栋看过第一个表格上长安1型号的两种拖拉机后想到。

Except for these two walking tractors, the remaining three types of tractors are all four-wheeled. Among them, the smallest horsepower is 15 horsepower, the price is 4400 yuan, the price of 25 horsepower is 5900 yuan, and the price of 40 horsepower is 9200 yuan.

"Comrade, can I have a look at the car first?" Zhang Guodong asked the female staff member after reading the form introduction.

"There's nothing to read, it's written on the side! If you really want to buy it, I'll take you to try the car. The price is the same price, and it's absolutely set in the factory." I have no interest in watching this situation anymore. I originally wanted to support the province's manufacturing industry, but now I have no mood at all.

After leaving Chang'an No. 200 Tractor Factory, Zhang Guodong took a taxi to Hongxing Tractor Factory.I saw that there were many types of tractors everywhere, but most of them were hand-held. After Zhang Guodong looked at it, he found that the hand-held tractors here were [-] yuan cheaper than Chang'an No. [-] Tractor Factory.

After wandering around and making up his mind, Zhang Guodong planned to take a look at the last Zhengzhou Agricultural Trade Machinery Company as well.

The factory of Zhengzhou Agricultural Trade Machinery Co., Ltd. is located in the eastern suburb of Chang'an. It took Zhang Guodong an hour and a half to find it on a three-wheeled motorcycle.

"Hi sir, do you want to see the tractor?" A young beauty blocked his way as soon as he entered the door. The beauty was very generous in business attire, and Zhang Guodong nodded secretly after seeing it.

"I'm here to see the tractor. Do you have any vehicles here?" Zhang Guodong asked.

"Yes, we have four types of tractors with 15 horses, 25 horses, 40 horses, and 50 horses, and each model has a car."

Zhang Guodong was taken to the grassland where there were more than a dozen tractors, large and small.

"Sir, this Dongfanghong No. 4 tractor is the main model of our Zhengzhou Agricultural Trade Machinery Company. It is the most sold. It is not a problem to pull 25 or 3 tons with 4 horsepower. Now you can buy it and you can save 200 yuan." The shopping guide said: Zhang Guodong introduced.

Zhang Guodong saw these tractors that became popular in the countryside after 90 years. No matter from the model to the color, they are much better than Changan brand tractors. .

Large tractors with more than 40 horses are not suitable for use in mountainous villages. Their wheels are too wide and it is difficult to pass through rural roads. Again, it is not enough to pull 6 or 7 tons of rural areas, while a small tractor with 15 horses can only pull More than one ton of goods is fine for home use, but it seems a bit small to go out to pull stones.

"Do you have any carriages for tractors here?"

"There are carriages. A 25-horse tractor with three and a half carriages costs only 3 yuan. If you want a seeder, a set of plows for plowing the land costs 600 yuan, which is much more affordable than buying it alone."

张国栋还在考虑买25拖拉机还是40的，40拖拉机9600元加上车厢、耕犁等一套要12100块，他的钱也是够的。

"If you are using it in a mountainous area, I suggest you choose a 25 tractor. It is enough for general farmland sowing. If it is too big, it will cost fuel, and it will be troublesome to replace the carriage and plow. Can you drive? Yes. If so, you can try driving it."

There is also a special test site here for people to test. Zhang Guodong tried all four types of tractors and finally chose to buy a 25-horsepower tractor.

The tractor was 6000 yuan, and the carriage, plow, and seeder were 1670 yuan. In the end, Zhang Guodong spent 7670 yuan to let them put a brand new carriage behind the tractor.

He lifted the plow and seeder into the carriage, and the tractor factory filled him up with oil.Zhang Guodong considered that it would be inconvenient to refuel in the village in the future, so he bought 2 small barrels of diesel oil. The oil is very cheap, only 2 cents per liter, and an iron barrel costs 2 yuan.

Holding the crank handle twice to start the tractor, Zhang Guodong got on the car and stepped on the flexible gear, driving his own tractor. Zhang Guodong felt a little joy in his heart. He bought a tractor only two months after his rebirth. The family situation in this life will never be the same It used to be that bad.

Driving out of the Zhengzhou Agricultural Machinery Company, Zhang Guodong smelled the cooking aroma from the restaurant at the door, and he couldn't help but feel a little hungry. He had never eaten since morning until now after 2:[-] noon, so he went into the restaurant and ordered two dishes and a bowl of rice. , quickly solved the stomach problem.

Next to the restaurant is a farmer's market. There are people coming and going in the market. A seller of racks and wheels is the first one to enter the market. Zhang Guodong wants to ask the price of the wheels so he goes up to ask.

"Boss, how do you sell the wheels?"

"38, 35 if you want!"

A wheel wheel in Yongkang County costs 55 yuan, and the wholesale price in Chang'an City is indeed much lower.Zhang Guodong has been thinking about how to increase the speed of stone digging in the village for the past few days. The reason is that they don't have a rack truck. If every family in the village can have a rack truck, wouldn't he be able to receive a lot more yellow stones.

"It's cheaper, boss, I'll buy more!"

"How much do you want to buy?"

"What price would you give for 50 cars!" Zhang Guodong thought for a while and said, he still has more than 5 yuan in his hand, and he should try to do as little as possible in the future. Others in the village can also earn more, and the roads in the village can be repaired earlier.

"50? I'll go and see if there are enough in the warehouse." The boss glanced at Zhang Guodong, turned around and went back to the store, and came back not long after.

"The stock is enough. If you want 50, I can give you at least 31 yuan. Do you want to go to the countryside to do business with so many little brothers? We also have pumps here. I can give you 12 yuan for a cheaper price."

Zhang Guodong bought another 20 pumps and 20 inner belts for the wheels. The wheels in the village were often punctured, and it was too troublesome to go to the county to repair them.

After buying the wheels, Zhang Guodong asked the boss to carry all the things on the tractor, and bought 100 three-tooth picks, 50 sheep picks, and 100 iron picks from the shop next to him. To dig stones, these things are indispensable.

When the shopping was almost done, Zhang Guodong drove the tractor and started to walk back.

After two lifetimes, this is the first time for him to drive a tractor back to the county from Chang'an. Tractors have not been banned on the national highway, and Zhang Guodong's speed all the way to above 60 is not much slower than a shuttle bus.

Walking through Qindu City and entering Liquan County, it was almost 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Zhang Guodong saw this tree trunk lying horizontally on the road ahead, and several big stones were placed in the middle of the road. The car stopped slowly, and all four of them surrounded him.

"Toll fee is 1 fast!" The young man said when Zhang Guodong stopped the car and looked at the things in the car.

Zhang Guodong took out a dollar from his pocket and handed it to the other party. He didn't want to cause trouble in this place, which might attract people from several surrounding villages. Even if the police came, they would have nothing to do with them.

After receiving the money, the passers-by removed the roadblock, and Zhang Guodong drove through.

On the 30-kilometer journey from Liquan to Kun County, Zhang Guodong encountered four toll collectors, each of whom was charged one yuan. It seemed that they had agreed upon it. Seeing that they had left the Kun County area and entered Yongkang County, another group of people blocked his way.

"I know the rules! One dollar! Everyone, don't waste your time!" Zhang Guodong stopped the car and took out one dollar to give to the other party.

There are 6 people in this group, and the leader is now checking one side of Zhang Guodong's carriage, just like the border inspection of Huaxia in later generations.

"Do you still have the goods? The toll is 10 yuan!" The leader is about 30 years old, and he is a head taller than Zhang Guodong.
