Chapter 43 I am also a rich man
There wasn't much water in the factory nearby, so the two of them waded out.
After entering the factory next door, which was also a furniture factory, the two went straight to the office.
After opening the safe in the finance office, there was only 50,000 yuan, and in the factory director's office there was only 20,000 yuan.
After all, fewer people use cash nowadays. Cash may be kept as a backup or for purchasing supplies from local farmers. Some older people do not know how to use electronic payments and still have to use cash.
The two continued into the next factory.
This is a chemical plant with various chemical reagents in the workshop.
Yang Qing wondered if these things would be useful in the future.
She made an excuse, "You go to the finance office first. I have a stomachache and need to go to the bathroom."
"Okay!" Leng Yi nodded without any doubt.
Yang Qing walked towards the toilet over there, turned and walked towards the workshop where Leng Yi couldn't see him.
As soon as I entered the workshop, I saw various protective suits hanging there, and there were brand new, unopened ones in the cabinet. Yang Qing grabbed two boxes and took them into the space.
Putting on a protective suit, he entered the workshop. There were various unknown chemical reagents packaged in barrels. Yang Qing took a look and didn't understand much about them, but it seemed that he had introduced them on TV, so he collected them first.
Just as I was about to leave, I found a laboratory next to me.
Yang Qing pried the door open and walked in.
Various metals were placed in a locked cabinet, some of which were placed in glass bottles. They seemed to be rare metals used as chemical catalysts.
Yang Qing has watched some popular science videos online. Some rare metals are more expensive than gold, mainly because they are difficult to buy.
It might be useful later.
Looking at other cabinets, there were sulfuric acid and other things that were not normally available. Yang Qing put them and the cabinets into the space.
There were also various experimental instruments, microscopes, etc. on the side. Yang Qing put all the movable ones into the space, but there was nothing he could do about those that were fixed on the ground.
When she came out, Leng Yi had already opened the safe, but the things inside were still untouched.
Yang Qing took a look and saw that this factory had a lot of cash, about 500,000 yuan, so he put all the money into his bag.
There were also some other valuables in the safe. Yang Qing looked at Leng Yi and said, "You can take these too."
"I don't need it." Leng Yi shook his head.
"Then I won't be polite." Yang Qing threw the thing into his pocket, smiling happily.
Leng Yi couldn't help but chuckle when he saw her money-obsessed look.
"What are you laughing at? These may come in handy in the future." Yang Qing curled his lips.
"No, I'm happy to see you happy too." Leng Yi said, and only then did he realize that his words were a bit ambiguous, and his ears turned red.
Yang Qing didn't notice, "I like it anyway, so why don't you just give it to me."
"Okay, I'll give it all to you!" Leng Yi said in a gentle tone.
"Let's go to the next one!" Yang Qing picked up the backpack, but it was surprisingly heavy. Leng Yi quickly took it over, "I'll do it!"
By the time they visited more than a dozen nearby factories, their half-person-high bag was already stuffed with money.
During this time, Yang Qing would always find excuses to go out and steal a lot of things and put them into the space, and Leng Yi never asked.
Back at the furniture factory, Gao Yang and his team moved all the firewood into the assault boats and rubber dinghies.
Yang Qing poured out all the money in the bag and counted it. There was actually more than three million.
"So many?" Everyone was shocked.
"We can buy more food now." Yang Qing said with a smile.
"I'm afraid there's no place to buy it." Leng Yi said.
Yang Qing nodded. Even the government's grain sales were limited to two kilograms per person. They had no place to spend so much money.
It seems that I still need to find other channels, otherwise the money will really become waste paper.
"Let's go back, it's getting dark." Gao Yang said.
Yang Qing looked at the sky and said, "Let's just go back after dark, so that no one will see us transporting supplies and get jealous."
Jiang Hao laughed, "We just need some firewood today, why are they jealous?"
"Who knows? As long as we get something, they will be jealous and can't stand seeing others doing better than us." Lu Lin interjected.
Leng Yi nodded, "Let's just rest here for a while. When we get to the community, stop the motor and paddle slowly over. It's better to be cautious."
No one said anything anymore. Yang Qing took out a few bags of beef jerky from his bag and gave them to everyone. He had bought a lot of snacks when he went around the building before, so no one found it strange.
After resting for half an hour, everyone got on board.
Firewood has a heavy draft and a deep draught, so each boat is loaded only to the point where it is almost flooded before it dares to load any more.
"Firewood is still too heavy. It would be better if we had charcoal, which is much lighter." Gao Yang said.
I don’t know where to find charcoal for the moment, so I’ll go back first.
Arriving at the residential complex, the three boats stopped their motors and slowly approached Building 8. It was lunchtime, so few people were out watching.
Several people carried the firewood upstairs together. Fortunately, the water level was already on the fifth floor, so they only had to climb three floors.
Put the wood first in the sun room on the top floor where there is still some space.
After putting away the last bundle of firewood, Yang Qing saw the three deflated rubber boats that had been fished out of the water before. They had been left there without being repaired. He thought that he would repair them now that he had time, as they might be useful in the future.
"I'll go downstairs to cook first. You come down early." Lu Lin said.
Yang Qing watched as everyone else left and took out two lunch boxes from the space. "Don't make any more. Just eat this. Just heat it up."
"Okay!" Lu Lin smiled. This was Yang Qing caring about her, so of course she appreciated it.
Yang Qing took out the super glue from the space, cut a piece of leather from the furniture factory, cut it into corresponding small pieces, and used the super glue to stick the leather to the broken part of the rubber boat. Then he inflated it, pressed it into the water and tried it. It seemed that there was no leakage.
It seems to be quite effective. I don’t know how long it can last, but it can be used for now.
After replenishing the three rubber boats, Yang Qing went downstairs to eat.
The next day, Yang Qiang asked Teacher Zhang where the government department store selling grain was, and told Leng Yi and the others to go buy grain together.
Leaving Lu Lin at home, Yang Qing carried 300,000 yuan and went out with everyone.
There's no point in having too much money. Food is sold in limited quantities and you can't buy too much.
When I arrived at the designated department store, there was already a long queue of people selling food, and I didn't know how long I would have to wait before it was my turn.
Yang Qing asked Wang Min and Jiang Hao to line up there, "The rest of you come with me to buy things, mainly warm clothes."
"Okay!" Everyone nodded.
There are fewer people in other areas of the department store. After all, the most difficult problem to solve now is food, and everything else is secondary.
Especially in the winter clothing section, there were almost no people, and the prices were double what they used to be. Although it was still expensive, compared to rice, which went from a little over two yuan to 3,000 yuan now, a full 1,500 times more expensive, double was already a fair price.
Another point is that it is June now and the weather is still very hot. Basically no one thinks about purchasing winter clothes. After all, money should be spent wisely.
Yang Qing saw some down jackets from Big Goose. They used to cost 10,000 yuan each, but now they cost 20,000 yuan. However, their down jackets are really good, with a high down content, and are worth buying.
I took a light grey one and asked Leng Yi to try it on.
"This color looks good, would you like to try it?"
"Okay!" Leng Yi nodded.
"Do you really want to buy it? It's so expensive." Li Shengnan said. Even when she was working, she couldn't bear to buy such expensive clothes.
"Buy one, one for each of us!" Yang Qing waved his hand proudly, "We are rich people now!"
Li Shengnan smiled and went to pick out clothes with Gao Yang.
