National Tide 1980

"This is called South-to-North Water Diversion!"

"What's the meaning?"

"Haha, what do you mean? You are so funny, just wait..."

Thick purple curtains hung on the windows of this room, and the light was dim.

The furnishings are also limited.

In addition to a cabinet with a color TV and a video recorder, a five-drawer chest, and a double iron bed leaning against the bedside table and the wall.

Li Zhong said, opening his bedside table and taking out a pair of cards and two original video tapes.

In order to let Ning Weimin see more clearly, after handing him something, Li Zhong also turned on the ceiling light with a smile.

As a result, Ning Weimin took a closer look and immediately frowned.

Because what he took in his hand turned out to be a deck of playing cards that "fully displayed the privacy of the human body."

The two video tapes, one European and American, one Japanese, are "scientific and educational films" of the same nature.

"You are Huang Shui'er..."

"Hey, it's also gold..."

Li Zhong got emotional and started bragging.

"You won't believe how profitable these things are! On the 11th of this month, I went to Huacheng and bought two original tapes for one hundred and twenty, and brought them back to the capital to duplicate them. One tape can be resold for one hundred and fifty."

"These poker cards are cheaper. I bought them for one yuan a pair. Don't look down on me. They cost five yuan a pair. I bought two hundred pairs. I thought I would try the water first. It's only been a few days and they are all sold out. It’s a profit of eight hundred yuan. Isn’t it scary enough?”

"And that's not even a big deal. I've heard people say that if they can be sold further north, the price can be even higher. For example, Changchun, you know? As it was written in the newspaper, there is a Clivia place going on."

"I was fucking stupid this time. How can this thing be sold in the capital? I should sell it there. A pot of broken flowers over there can be sold for thousands or even tens of thousands. When these things get there, they will eventually be sold." At least the price can double again! Maybe two or three times, we don’t know.”

"They are all fat masters over there. Who are you going to kill if you don't kill them! And the people in this cold place love this. Look at the sixty copies I have copied. If I want to get rid of them over there, it will be at least 18,000. Twenty thousand is not impossible. I want to get ten or eight boxes, how much does it cost for one trip..."

But he spoke so enthusiastically that Ning Weimin no longer wanted to listen any more.

He quietly put everything on the bed, and then rubbed the handles in disgust.

Of course he knew the circumstances under which this boy Li Zhong appreciated these poker cards, and he should be panicked.

"I didn't expect you to do this. You might as well be smuggling cigarettes, alcohol, electronic watches, etc..."

Ning Weimin said something casually, and Li Zhong thought about it for a long time before he understood that it was a sarcasm.

"Oh, man, you are trying to bully me. Aren't you employed by a French company? The French are the most romantic country and the most liberal in this regard. This tape of mine is French. Don't be so prude, okay?" I don’t believe it. You don’t feel anything about this thing? Unless you are not a normal man..."

Ning Weimin was too lazy to talk to him about this and just warned him about the social situation.

"You can really do it! There is a crackdown on 'spiritual pollution' outside now! You have to do this! This is much more serious than those magazines and books that are sidelined in the name of detectives, chivalry, strange cases, secrets, erotic love, etc. Even Yanbian and Workers, two publishing houses have been severely fined. You are really not afraid of death! You are holding a gun and charging up with your head..."

Li Zhong didn't care.

"Brother, how can it be so serious? For this kind of thing, whoever you score will do whatever you score."

"Like someone who bought a few folding umbrellas in Huacheng, they were found out at the train station and punished until they vomited blood. I was different. On the first day of departure, I delivered the goods to the conductor's duty room in a grand manner. I didn't even need to buy a ticket. Can this be the same thing?”

"So, any business must be supported by someone. As long as there are people behind you, nothing will happen. I won't hide it from you. I have found all the connections in Changchun. If I want to go, I will stay there. The person who answered me at the bureau’s guest house was the director of the guest house, and his brother was a man wearing tiger skin. It was very safe for me to go there. We are insured.”

"And compared to doing this, other businesses have become a chore! I won't hide it from you. The days of making money from electronic watches and calculators are over. Now there are fewer people buying them and the prices have dropped. Cigarettes and alcohol are easy to buy, but they take up too much space. I can only stuff a dozen boxes of cigarettes and alcohol in the conductor's duty room at a time."

"The key is that the price of the next one is not good, and the price keeps changing every three days. If you also count the shopping around, people eat what the horse chews, I can leave myself eight thousand yuan this time, which is good. Where can I get it?" It’s a good deal to do this! So, people have to broaden their horizons in order to find better ways to make money.”

"Brother, I can understand that you don't care about cars. Cars are too big a deal and you can't make the decision. If you don't smoke or drink, it's because they don't have enough flavor. You don't think it's normal. But now this new way to make money is different. We buddies can all make a fortune, so let’s go on it side by side!"

Ning Weimin now understood everything. This was the real reason why co-author Li Zhong invited him today.

Fortunately, he is such an impetuous person and can bear to say it until now.

However, he still shook his head decisively.

"You can do this yourself, why do you want to get involved with me again? Let's just pretend that I don't know about this. You didn't say anything, and I didn't hear anything..."

After saying that, he was about to turn around and leave, but Li Zhong had already blocked the door and shamelessly offered him a cigarette.

"Ouch, buddy... Manager Ning... No, Manager Ning, what's the matter with your feud with Qian? I can do it myself, but what's the point of making a small fuss."

"Listen to me, that's what I think. Although this matter is certain, but after all, this business has been stuck for a long time. In order to avoid long nights and many dreams, it should definitely be short and fast."

"And you have to spend money to carry out one trip, so of course it's more economical to carry as much goods as possible. For example, if you take ten boxes of video tapes and five boxes of playing cards like this on a trip, you won't be able to earn back two cents per trip. One hundred thousand and I will take your last name."

"But the problem is that buying tapes costs a lot of money, and stringing video tapes requires more video recorders to be efficient. I only have 50,000 yuan in hand. Hey, if you can invest 50,000 yuan for me, then we need to buy ten video recorders. , stringing ten tapes at a time is completely different."

"When the time comes, we will divide the work. You can help me with the goods at home, and I will mainly go outside. Whether I go to the south to get new movies and playing cards, or I go to the north to sell them, these errands are all mine."

"I'm not bragging, buddy. As long as we temporarily join forces, we will have everything for the rest of our lives. One trip will make you back, two trips will make you rich. If you do it three or four times, it won't take more than three months at most, and we will be able to do it alone." I can have a net worth of hundreds of thousands. When I earn one million, we will stop. What do you think?"

I have to say that Li Zhong's plan is really suitable, and his appetite is really big.

But Ning Weimin reluctantly listened patiently and refused without even a moment's hesitation.

"Don't do it!"

This disappointed Li Zhong extremely.

"Don't die, think again. Don't you want to get your house back quickly? I can help you with connections, but the problem is that it will definitely cost a lot of money to do such a big thing. Others won't be as good as me. Rushing to help you..."

He was always thinking about Ning Weimin, but he didn't know what Ning Weimin was really thinking about.

Ning Weimin said in his heart, Tsk, that sounds nice, but you don’t have a plan.

Besides, do I need to make a living by doing such a dirty job to make money?

In fact, if you didn't tell me what it was for, and just asked me to borrow money, maybe tens of thousands of dollars, I would really lend it to you.

Now that I know you are doing this, I am so distraught that I will never have any money dealings with you again!

"No, no, I have good intentions. But it's really no good."

"What's wrong? You're so disrespectful. Do you think so little of me? Can't you just accept me once? Just this time, you will know what kind of person I am. If you don't tell me how to divide the money, I will just tell you. I’m following you..."

Faced with Li Zhong's endless entanglement, Ning Weimin knew there was nothing he could do.

He had an idea and simply sighed.

"Oh, I'm afraid of delaying your business. In fact, your calculations are all wrong. I'm not afraid of embarrassment anymore. To be honest with you, I'm just trying to save my face. It looks like it's true on the surface, but it's really hard in my hands. No Money."

Li Zhong was stunned and his eyes widened.

"Ah, how could it be? Don't you earn three thousand a month? Don't tell me that all your salary is spent? That is completely impossible..."

Ning Weimin retorted plausibly.

"How is it impossible? Not only did I spend it all, but my income for a period of time in the future will have to be used to pay off foreign debts. Don't believe it, just in the winter two years ago, I tried my best to scrape together hundreds of thousands. I bought a large number of calligraphy and paintings. You can investigate with Huo Xin, she knows about this..."

"Ah? Hundreds of thousands! I thought you didn't have fifty thousand, so you had to have thirty or forty thousand."

Li Zhong watched helplessly with an expression of extreme shock, and then turned to despair.

Ning Weimin was really relieved.
