Chapter 10 How to Get Rich in 1959
Lin Musen's brain started working quickly
First of all, he was sure that there was no history of mental illness in his Lin family for five generations, thus ruling out genetic problems.
Secondly, although his son suffered a great blow in his studies and love life, he knew that his son had been heartless since childhood and was not a romantic person, so he should not go crazy.
In the end, Lin Musen could be sure that his child had good upbringing and it was absolutely impossible for him to lie.
Besides, there is no point in lying because you won't gain anything.
This isn't a telecom scam. What: "I'm Qin Shi Huang. I'm not dead, I'm immortal. I need money to raise my troops. Give me 5,000 yuan, and I'll make you Prime Minister when I unify China."
Then use the famous quote from the mystery novel:
“Eliminate the impossible, and whatever remains, no matter how improbable, is the truth.”
Lin Musen did not deny it outright. He had always encouraged his children since they were young. Even though he did not believe it in his heart, he decided to give his son a chance to prove himself.
"Son, are you saying you can go through this door and get to 1959?"
"right!"
"Then why don't you put it on and show it to me now?"
"OK!"
Lin Sanqi stood up, then silently said to himself, "I'm going to 1959," then opened the door, walked into the bathroom, and closed the door.
Lin Musen waited for a while and saw no movement. He stood up and walked quickly to the bathroom.
He listened first, but there was no sound from inside. He knocked on the door a few more times and said, "Son, son?"
No response.
Lin Musen opened the door suddenly, and what caught his eyes was an empty bathroom. Apart from a shower room and a flush toilet, there was no sign of his son.
Lin Musen, unwilling to give up, walked to the bathroom, looked it up and down, and even opened the cabinet door under the washbasin to take a look.
Open the glass window again and make sure the security iron window outside is not damaged.
In the end, Lin Musen believed it. His son really disappeared mysteriously after entering the bathroom. Could it really be the legendary "time travel"?
Restraining his excitement, Lin Musen retreated back into the room and looked at the bathroom door.
After a while, the bathroom door opened from the inside with a click, and Lin Sanqi stood in the room again, intact:
"Well, Dad, now you believe I can travel through time, right? Look what this is. I just went to my home in 1959 and quietly took a newspaper from there."
Lin Musen quickly took it. The newspaper was yellowed, and many of the articles were arranged vertically. The key point was the date on the "XX Daily":
"June 10, 1959, the fifth day of the fifth lunar month."
Seeing this newspaper, Lin Musen's pupils shrank instantly, and his heart was in turmoil. There was only one sentence in his mind:
"Mother Diulei, my son can really travel through time."
Half an hour later, the father and son, having calmed down, sat face to face and spoke in lower voices.
Lin Musen sighed:
"It was 1959. I wasn't born then, so I don't know much about that era. It should have been the red flags fluttering, right? Did you see them?"
Lin Sanqi shook his head:
"I traveled back in time to a siheyuan, also known as a dazayuan, where many families lived in one courtyard. So I didn't see the scenes in the last half of Farewell My Concubine."
Lin Musen chuckled and said proudly:
"You didn't learn history well, did you? 1959 was probably a time of massive construction across the country. The scene was absolutely blaring drums and gongs, blasting firecrackers, waving red flags, and huge crowds of people. It was a huge climax in the construction of socialism. Wow, just thinking about it makes me excited."
Lin Sanqi laughed heartily and said contemptuously:
"Dad, you're not very good at history. In 1959, our country was hit by many disasters. For the first three years, we were plagued by natural disasters. We couldn't even get enough to eat. How could we have the energy to carry out the revolution?
My first meal after traveling back in time consisted of two steamed buns and some pickles. Wow, these steamed buns couldn't be made of white flour; they looked a bit brown, and my throat hurt when I swallowed them. And that was it, given that the place was quite well-off.
Lin Musen was embarrassed when he heard this:
"Get lost! You dare to laugh at me? Be careful of being struck by lightning! By the way, you said that family adopted you as their youngest son. What does that family do?"
"Coincidentally, the family I traveled to also had the surname Lin, and they were originally from Huadu. They were in the same field as us, and their family had traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. The whole family worked at the Capital Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
The head of that household is Lin Kushen. Wow, he looks a lot like you, Dad. So I suspect the Lin family from 1959 are probably related to us, so I don't feel much of a distance between us and them."
Hearing this, Lin Musen nodded slightly:
“It’s possible. Although Chinese medicine has declined in my area, during the time of your great-grandfather, our family’s Lingnan Hall Lin’s Chinese Medicine was still very famous. We even had our Chinese medicine clinic on Renji Road back then, and it was a well-known brand.
So the Lin family you mentioned in 1959 may be from the same ancestor as us, but in different branches. In essence, we are all family. You should treat them as your godparents and treat them well. Treat others with sincerity, understand?"
Lin Sanqi nodded repeatedly:
"I know, I know. Since we're all Lin family, it's fine for me to call you Dad and Mom. But Dad, the most important question now is, since I can travel back to 1959, what can I do? Or sell something to make a fortune? Otherwise, wouldn't this time travel be wasted in vain?"
Lin Musen pondered, "What kind of business could you do in 1959? I don't know. How about looking it up online?"
"Okay, my computer is on, let me check it out!"
You won't know until you check, and you'll be shocked when you do. How stubborn must one have to be to do business in 1959?
It seems that the path of purchasing goods from Yiwu Small Commodity Market and then selling them in 1959, crossing the two worlds to become a trader, and then becoming a business tycoon in 1959 is directly blocked.
The more the father and son investigated, the more worried they became. They couldn't do business, and they needed a letter of introduction wherever they went. How could they make any money?
Suddenly, Lin Musen slapped his thigh and said excitedly:
"Oh, why didn't I think of that? We can definitely live off the land and water."
Lin Sanqi didn't react and asked curiously, "What are you eating?"
Lin Musen was obviously excited. He started typing "Angong Niuhuang Wan" on the computer with one finger, and then said excitedly:
"Let me give you an example. Take Beijing Tong Ren Tang's miracle drug, Angong Niuhuang Wan. Have you heard of it? It has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, opening the orifices and refreshing the mind. It is very effective for treating high fever convulsions, coma and delirium, and clearing away heat and toxic evil spirits in the body.
Unfortunately, after the implementation of the Wildlife Protection Law in 1989, rhino horns, natural bezoar, and natural musk could no longer be used. Angong Niuhuang Wan could only use other artificial synthetic products, resulting in a sharp decline in its current efficacy.
But in 1959, time-honored brands like Tong Ren Tang were still using genuine natural medicinal materials. Have you seen this news? Angong Niuhuang Wan, produced in 1962, is now being sold for 110,000 yuan per pill. Do you think this is a profitable idea?
