Chapter 32 Who has the perfect plan?

After Li Ye arranged a few things with Hao Jian, he no longer cared about the hemp candy business, and told Hao Jian not to come to the school to find him unless it was something important.

Hao Jian was very obedient and did not come for several days. Only on the fifth day did he ask Jin Peng to return the No. 26 Phoenix bicycle.

Jin Peng said: "That Hao Jian is quite capable and has done a good job in business. He has sold more than 1,600 kilograms of hemp candy in the past few days, and it is estimated that there will be more in the next few days.

We bought a dirt bike yesterday, so we won’t need this Phoenix for now! It’s inconvenient for you, Xiaoye, to not have a bike, and this bike is a bit eye-catching.”

Li Ye nodded: "That's fine, you guys should be careful, safety first, making money second."

"Then I definitely know," Jin Peng thought for a moment and said meaningfully, "Don't worry! I'm watching you!"

Li Ye could understand what Jin Peng meant. This guy had probably already put himself into the role of "military supervisor". He stared at Hao Jian intently, not afraid that he would cause any trouble.

Li Ye said: "Just keep it in mind. Anyway, you and Qiangzi will share the money. We will divide it at the end of the month."

Jin Peng chuckled and left.

In just a few days, he had earned more than 30 yuan, which was almost the same as a monthly salary for a bricklayer in a construction company. It would be strange if he was not happy.

. . . . .

Time flies, and more than ten days passed in a flash. By the end of the month, it was time for Li Ye to submit his work "The Lurker".

"Li Ye, are we only going to submit to two publishers? How about submitting to more? I'm very good at copying manuscripts, and I can write another one tomorrow."

The little mute Wen Leyu helped Li Ye put the manuscript into the envelope while trying to persuade him.

Li Ye smiled and said confidently: "It is enough to submit to two publications. Trust me, I guarantee that you will get the commission for your manuscript."

Wen Leyu glanced at Li Ye and said angrily, "Don't always talk about money, okay? I don't want any commission from you."

It turned out that when Li Ye asked Wen Leyu to "proofread", he mentioned that he would give her "labor fees". Wen Leyu didn't care at first, thinking it was a joke, but when Li Ye mentioned it again, she felt it was inappropriate.

The two of them are so familiar with each other, why bother asking for money?

Li Ye did not argue with Wen Leyu anymore. Instead, he packed two thick envelopes, went to the post office in person to pay the "overweight postage", and sent them to two publishing houses in the provincial capital and the island city respectively.

He is very grateful for the relaxed manuscript acceptance requirements of publishing houses in the 1980s. If he dared to submit the same manuscript to multiple publications in the future, he would be completely blacklisted by the editor!

Those who are indecisive will never be able to become my disciple.

As for what uncontrollable things might happen if two publishing houses accepted Li Ye's manuscript at the same time, that is also impossible.

Because the novel was quite long, Li Ye only sent the first quarter of it, and modestly noted at the end: "If you are interested in publishing, please send me your contact number and I will send you the full manuscript."

Once you get the phone number, it's time to negotiate terms.

. . . . .

After coming out of the post office, Li Ye did not go back to school immediately.

Today is the day agreed with Hao Jian to divide the money, and he needs to rush to Chenzhuang Township, thirty miles away.

Originally, Hao Jian planned to bring the money to the county town to divide it, but Li Ye had never been to the hemp candy processing site, so he decided to go and take a look.

Li Ye rode his No. 26 Phoenix, slowly crossing the street in the winter sunset. He saw the staff of a street-side cinema, who were painting a large poster of "Lush Mountain Love" on the poster board at the door.

"Lush Mountain Love" is a classic movie that touched Li Ye's parents in their previous life. The beautiful, rich and beautiful woman who returned from overseas and the local male protagonist's lifelong love affair satisfied all the aspirations in the young hearts of their generation.

Zhang Yu, who played the heroine, has stolen the hearts of countless innocent boys in their dreams.

A big V later commented that 80% of the credit for the huge success of "Lush Mountain Love" was due to the heroine's identity as a wealthy returnee from overseas.

If Zhou Yun were replaced by a country girl, no matter how loving she was with the male lead, or how tortuous and moving her emotional experience was, it would not be able to reach the sensational scale of the original drama.

However, when Li Ye looked at Zhang Yu's big round face on the poster, he could not get into the feeling of "the beauty of the times".

Instead, the tall, thin and taciturn Wen Leyu appeared in his dreams once or twice.

Li Ye laughed and said to himself: "Alas, my advanced aesthetics make me so different from others."

Chenzhuang Township is thirty miles away from Qingshui County. After Li Ye and Jin Peng met up, they took an hour to reach the destination after dark.

When Li Ye arrived, he found that Hao Jian's home was located alone on a slope, at least two miles away from the village.

Jin Peng introduced to Li Ye: "Hao Jian is an outsider. He was ostracized by the locals because he married a beautiful girl from the village.

So when he was building his house, he was squeezed away from the village, which actually provided some convenience for our hemp candy processing. "

Li Ye looked around and said, "With every convenience comes disadvantages. It's too desolate. How's the safety?"

Jin Peng said, "It's okay for now. A few days ago, Hao Jian's brother-in-law came over to help make sugar. Plus, Qiangzi has been living here and has raised a few dogs. If you're worried, I might as well move in."

Li Ye thought about it for a while and said, "Let's see first. If it doesn't work in a few days, come over and I'll give you an extra reward for your hard work."

Jin Peng smiled and didn't refuse. He was a smart man and knew what he should do and how much he should get.

Li Ye and Jin Peng entered the yard and saw Hao Jian, Wang Jianqiang, and a skinny young man in his twenties loading the truck.

There was not much awareness of food hygiene at that time. The dried sesame candies were directly put into washed fertilizer bags and stacked on the carts one by one.

Li Ye counted it and found it was about 800 to 900 kilograms.

When Hao Jian saw Li Ye and Jin Peng enter the room, he said to the skinny young man, "Erzhu, go out and walk the dog. Cui'er's mother, go to the agency department and buy two packs of cigarettes."

The skinny young man untied the leashes of the two dogs and took them out for fun, while a pretty woman took a little girl out.

The little girl kept looking back at Li Ye as she walked. She was so thin and small, and so timid that it made people feel sorry for her.

Li Ye asked Hao Jian: "How is your daughter's illness?"

Hao Jian said: "Fortunately, she hasn't had any relapses in the past few days. When I save some more money, I will take her to a big hospital in a big city."

Hao Jian took Li Ye into the house, while Jin Peng and Wang Jianqiang consciously stood guard at the gate, making it seem like a meeting of spies.

Hao Jian opened a hole in the earthen kang in the room and dragged out a bundle while saying, "I think we can't distribute the money once a month in the future. There is too much money. I can't sleep well these days lying on the kang."

"Too much money?" Li Ye said with a smile, "When you first cheated me out of money, did you ever think there would be a day when you would think the money was too much?"

Hao Jian also shook his head and smiled awkwardly. When he was selling candies in front of the gate of No. 1 Middle School, he really wanted to take advantage of Li Ye. Who would have thought that after just a few days, they had become a gang.

“Puff~Puff~”

Hao Jian dusted off the bag and opened it layer by layer, revealing stacks of banknotes inside.

"I have divided the money in advance according to your instructions. Your share is 1,396.52 yuan. I bought five pairs of shoes according to the order you gave me, spending 87.3 yuan.

I gave you an integer of 1320, and my share is 950, Jin Peng."

Although Li Ye had seen people with "hundreds of thousands" before, he still felt a little excited when he saw the pile of cash that belonged to him.

There weren't many ten-yuan or five-yuan notes among the more than a thousand yuan. Most of them were two-yuan and one-yuan bills, a huge pile.

This was the result of Hao Jian giving as many big tickets as possible to Li Ye, and the other tickets were just small tickets.

Li Ye put the money into his bag, called Jin Peng in, and gave him nearly two hundred yuan as "escort fee".

Jin Peng had expected this and took it calmly. However, when it came time to share the money with Wang Jianqiang, this silly guy didn't dare to take it.

"Brother, this is too much. I don't want it. I just want to be full. I can eat enough these days."

Li Ye thought about the situation at Wang Jianqiang's home, so he took the money and said to Wang Jianqiang, "I can keep the money for you, but you have to remember the amount. This time you deserve 89 yuan. I'll give you 9 yuan first, and keep 80 yuan with me. Remember?"

"Yeah, I'll remember it, brother."

Wang Jianqiang happily took the nine yuan, his mouth almost grinning from ear to ear.

After all the money was distributed, Li Ye and Hao Jian agreed to divide the money every half a month. If the amount was too large, they would divide it every ten days.

But just as Li Ye was about to leave, Hao Jian handed a package to Li Ye and said, "These are the shoes you asked me to buy for you from the provincial capital. There is also one more thing.

A few days ago, the village cadres asked me what I was busy with these days. I covered it up, but I'm sure they'll ask me again in the future, asking me if I can use my connections to get the formalities done. "

Li Ye's eyes narrowed and he asked, "What's the relationship? What's the procedure?"

Hao Jian felt a little guilty, but still said: "I heard from Jin Peng the other day that your grandfather was in the grain system. He used to be a food processing rural cooperative in the grain system."

Li Ye gave Hao Jian a cold look, then pushed the cart and left with Jin Peng.

On the way, Li Ye asked Jin Peng: "Did you leak my grandfather's identity to Hao Jian?"

Jin Peng smiled and said, "Do you think I let the cat out of the bag by accident?"

Li Ye asked doubtfully: "Did you tell the old man on purpose?"

Jin Peng said: "Xiao Ye, we have been buying rice, glutinous rice and other raw materials these days. Do you think the old man didn't hear about it? He is a detective by profession."

“.”

Li Ye was stunned for a moment, then understood.

It turns out that when he thought he had everything planned out, his family was already providing him with a safety net.
