Rebirth in the 1970s: Bringing the village tyrant’s family back to the city and winning easily

In 1977, the college entrance examination was reinstated. Educated youth who had been sent to the countryside, Su Jinyan, passed the exam and was admitted to Peking University in one go. The origin...

Chapter 108 Study abroad?

"Jinyan, do you have so many seafoods?"

Su Jinyan smiled and said, "Thirty or forty tables, that would be quite profitable."

However, she did not agree directly, but said: "When exactly do you want it? The quantity is too large, so we have to order it in advance and ship it back from other places."

"Oh, oh, don't worry, she's getting married in ten days. If you can make a reservation, arrange it for them first."

"Okay, give me a number."

"Yeah, okay. By the way, what kind of fish do you have?"

"There are many kinds, yellow croaker, sea bass, black carp, which are more expensive. There are also carp, grass carp, crucian carp, which are cheaper. I will give you the purchase price plus some shipping costs for your father's comrades."

"Yellow croaker, sea bass, and black carp can all be charged at 70 cents per pound, carp, grass carp, and crucian carp can all be charged at 30 cents per pound, and crabs and shrimps are all charged by size. A large crab is 9 yuan, and a large shrimp is 1.2 yuan. Oysters and clams can all be charged at 7.5 yuan per pound."

"You can come to my house some time to get some samples, let them see the goods, and then place an order."

Because her crabs are big, they are sold at 12 yuan per pound in the market, large shrimps are 1.5 yuan each, and oysters and clams are 9 yuan per pound.

She can sell it cheaply, but not too much lower than the market price, otherwise Zhou Xingdong will definitely be criticized for selling it at such a high price.

"Okay, if you have time in the afternoon, I'll pick it up at four."

"Okay, no problem."

After the goods were agreed upon, Lu Tingting said, "Jinyan, I heard from my grandfather that the higher-ups are planning to send a group of students to study abroad for a year. Each department in our school has one or two places. Do you plan to go?"

The sudden news made Su Jinyan fall into deep thought.

After a moment, she asked, "When?"

It’s definitely not possible now that she’s pregnant. Besides, as far as she remembers, the first batch of people going abroad to study after the reform and opening up will be after next year, right?

Sure enough, Lu Tingting gave her the answer.

"Maybe before or after the New Year, after school starts, we will slowly go through various tests and competitions to decide the places."

Su Jinyan pursed her lips and asked, "Do you know what we are competing for?"

"The higher-ups are discussing this. It seems that it's not just about academic performance. Someone suggested that sending students abroad to study is mainly for the benefit of the country, so that these students can contribute to the country in the future. So we also need to examine the person's character, loyalty to the country, and ability to adapt after going abroad, such as English, etc."

"If you want to go abroad, from now on, don't let anyone know that you're dealing in things. You should also read more newspapers and learn about the country's policies, etc. Your English is pretty good, so there shouldn't be any problem."

"Oh, one more thing. You need to prepare some US dollars in advance. Although the government provides subsidies, it probably won't be much."

"Well, okay, thank you Tingting, by the way, are you planning to go out?"

"I want to go out."

"Well, okay, we'll meet up this afternoon to talk."

The two chatted for a few words, and after hanging up the phone, Xin Huimin frowned and asked, "The school is organizing overseas study?"
