Rebirth 83: Hundreds of billions of net worth, starting from setting up a stall

Just after dinner time.

All the apples in the stall have been used up.

Li Cunxi took a sip of water and asked Jin's father: "Uncle, can I add more apples today?"

Li Cunxi asked this question.

Lao Jin suddenly became embarrassed.

He was now completely convinced by Li Cunxi, and even said that he felt a sense of awe from the bottom of his heart when facing this young man who could speak fluent foreign language.

He quickly stood up and replied: "We all go to the outskirts of the city to batch the apples in the middle of the night. The people who batch the apples now are all picking fruits at home. I'm afraid we can't add more, but my mother still has about twenty kilograms left. "

"Twenty kilograms or so. It's a lot of work to come back and forth. Let's close the stall today."

Li Cunxi told customers directly that it was sold out.

But Lao Jin hurriedly said: "Actually, the front door is not far from here. Just wait, I will go and get it right away."

talking.

He limped out.

If you earn more than one yuan per pound of fruit, if you make more than 20 kilograms of fruit, you can earn more than 20 yuan more.

The couple worked from dawn to dusk for a week, and they only made so much, so why not make more money.

Li Cunxi touched the golden text: "Don't let your dad run away, stay here today."

Jin Wen nodded and ran quickly to stop his father.

"Xiao Li, actually I will be back soon. If not, why don't you wait a little longer and we can close the stall later?"

Lao Jin still refuses to give up.

Li Cunxi put away the enamel cup and chuckled: "Uncle, you can't make enough money. Let's stop here today."

"Brother Xie is right, we have made enough money today. Look, it's 165 yuan, and the capital is up to 40 yuan. We have made a lot of money today."

Jin Wen was holding a stack of foreign exchange coupons with excitement written all over his face.

Father Jin grinned, and the wrinkles on his face squeezed together.

Make money or not.

He actually didn't care. The compensation from his family and the money from business in the past two years were enough to find a wife for his son and build a house.

What really makes him happy is that his son is taking the right path.

Think of this.

He staggered to Li Cunxi and said: "Xiao Li, my uncle said some things before, which were a bit harsh. You don't remember the faults of villains. Don't take it to heart. To be honest, Jin Wen can surpass a big brother like you." , it is truly a blessing that he has cultivated over several lifetimes.”

Li Cunxi glanced at him and said with a smile: "Uncle, don't say any kind words. Friends support each other and there is no such thing as one being superior to the other."

Father Jin touched the back of his head and said with a naive smile: "Haha, Xiaowen is left to you anyway. If he disobeys, you tell me and I will deal with him."

"Dad, what are you talking about? My brother Xi said one thing, and I would never dare to say two things. Besides, brother Xi helped me make a lot of money. Why shouldn't I listen to him?"

Jin Wen also expressed his loyalty again, fearing that Li Cunxi would not make a fortune without him.

"Okay, as long as you have the consciousness, Xiao Li, I will buy you as many apples as you want tomorrow."

"Two to three hundred kilograms, let's try to sell as much as possible while the price is still high."

Li Cunxi replied softly.

Setting up a stall to sell paintings, after all, there is a technical barrier, and it can become like that.

As for this apple juice pressing, there are no technical barriers. If you want to do it, get an industrial coupon, save money to buy a meat grinder head, modify it a little, add some apples, and then you can set up a stall and compete with them. Buy and sell.

So sooner or later there will be a second and third juice squeeze stall on Xiushui Street.

By then, profits will be squeezed to less than a few cents.

What they have to do is, before that, sell as much as they can and save as much money as possible to buy clothes.

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye.

As Li Cunxi expected, not only were there two more juice sellers on Xiushui Street, but there were also two or three people on bicycles selling juice on nearby streets.

Prices range from 8 cents to 5 cents.

What's more, they sell for [-] cents a cup. Of course, the cheap juice is basically sugar water mixed with juice, which completely confuses the market.

Li Cunxi looked at the deserted stall and knew that the business was over.

"Jin Wen, how much money have we made in total?"

"Two thousand, eight hundred yuan, basically all I made last week. This week is getting worse day by day. Today I sold a total of ten glasses of juice, and one cup only cost 800 cents. These unscrupulous people are selling our customers at low prices." It’s all gone.”

Jin Wen was very angry.

I thought I could make a household worth [-] yuan by relying on juice, but with the current situation, if it continues, people will starve to death, let alone households worth [-] yuan.

"It seems this deal is over."

Li Cunxi also expected it, but he didn't feel much difference.

"Brother Xie, we also have capital, is it time to start a big plan to make a fortune?"

Jin Wen asked.

Li Cunxi nodded.

I have almost saved enough money, and it’s time to visit my uncle who works in a clothing factory.

"Jin Wen, first get me 200 yuan and 300 yuan in foreign exchange coupons. I want to buy something to give as a gift. At this stall, you can sell juice like this first and wait for my next instructions."

"okay."

Jin Wen quickly counted out a stack of money and handed it to Li Cunxi.

10 minute later.

Li Cunxi came to Wangfujing, spent three cents to store his bicycle, and walked to Dongfeng Market, also called Dong'an Market.

If we say that the Beijing Department Store was a distribution center for luxury goods in the 80s.

Then Dongfeng Market is a gathering place for various small commodities and delicious food.

There is a poem in a publication in the late Qing Dynasty that says: "The newly opened markets are wide and it is difficult to buy whatever you want. If you want to talk about prosperity, please go to Dong'an in the city."

This shows that Dongan Market has a long history and a complete range of products.

Li Cunxi walked into the market, and there were many people standing at the counters lined up one after another.

The wide corridor was slightly crowded due to the dense flow of people.

He followed the flow of people and came to the food area.

"Master, here are six kilograms of White Rabbit toffee, one portion for every three kilograms, and malted milk. Let's take two cans first. I want the big one."

"By the way, Master, how much does this chocolate from Shilin cost per plate?"

"Twenty dollars."

"Four yuan is really not cheap."

Li Cunxi looked at the chocolate in the glass. It was such a big piece that it weighed 50 grams or 41 kilograms. It was more expensive than gold.

It doesn’t matter.

In this era when goods are not circulating and materials are scarce, the prices of scarce goods are ridiculously expensive.

"Master, there are also four chocolates."

"Okay, 65 in total."

"You count."

Li Cunxi handed over the money and put the purchased items into the cloth bag prepared in advance.

He walked to the cigarette counter again.

"Master, do you have a Marlboro?"

"You said those are foreign cigarettes. You have to go to the Friendship Store to buy them. Most of them are fake if you buy them from outside. You might not know the red plums in the box."

"What about Hongta Mountain?"

In the 80s, Hongta Mountain was definitely a standout.

"No, these are in short supply. Unless you can enter the Friendship Store, you can only buy fakes."

"Okay, thank you."

Li Cunxi thanked him and went to sell accessories and clothing again. He looked around and found that most of the clothing here were popular in the 70s.

The so-called true good is Yangcheng, which is homophonic to true beautiful, and is specially made of clothes made of chemical fiber.

In the era when cotton production was not high, cloth tickets were required to buy cloth, while chemical fiber clothes required very few cloth tickets, and they soon became popular in the Longguo market.

However, with the reform and opening up, cotton production increased, and cotton clothing has become popular in the south.

These clothes are of old style and probably hard to impress his sister-in-law who dresses in a fashionable style.

It seems that I can only go to the Friendship Store.

However, in this era, the Friendship Store does not allow Chinese people to enter casually.

In theory, only foreigners can enter, but foreigners don't like having their identities checked, so the guards outside the store can only recognize people by their faces.

If the person has a foreign face, they will be ignored, but if the person has an Asian face, they will be stopped and questioned.

If you want to get in, you have to pretend to be an overseas Chinese.

He took a look at his own attire. The coarse tunic he wore from his hometown had turned white after being washed for a long time, and there were traces of sewing.

As the saying goes, three years for the new, three years for the old, and three more years for mending.

People can tell at a glance that he is from China.

Therefore, if you want to enter the Friendship Store, you must first change your outfit. It does not require you to be too fashionable, but at least it must be decent.

So he spent six yuan to buy a flannel shirt, and another ten yuan to buy a pair of gray pants. As for shoes, he still wore the old Beijing black cloth shoes newly bought by his wife. With his upright figure and handsome face, Being fluent in foreign languages, he should have no problem fooling the guards.
