Chapter 238 Tang Wenjie
After several hours' journey, Tang Wenjie and Tian Can returned to Rongcheng, the capital of Beijiang Province. They came to the Central District. Rongcheng now has only five districts, namely the East, South, West, North and Central District.
Today, Rongcheng is considered a relatively developed city in the country, and trams and other means of transportation are relatively common.
As soon as they got off the car, they rushed to Tang Wenjie's house.
Tang Wenjie is the third child in the family, and is the third brother as Tian Can calls him.
"Why don't you just stay at home and hang out all day?"
As soon as Tang Wenjie entered the house, a middle-aged man scolded him coldly.
"What's the point of staying at home without a decent job?"
Tang Wenjie is not afraid of his father, because his father only talks. But his grandfather is someone Tang Wenjie dares not even breathe a word. However, his grandfather does not have so much time to take care of him.
"How dare you say that? I found so many jobs for you, but you didn't succeed in any of them. You had no room for advancement as a steel plant custodian, and you said you didn't know how to do maintenance in a department store. Then I sent you to be a bus trainee. Which of these jobs did you do for more than three months?"
Father Tang looked at his son Tang Wenjie and said.
"Fortunately, we stopped sending educated youth to the countryside a long time ago, so you can only go to the countryside to farm. You still have the nerve to be picky."
"Forget it, forget it, Old Tang, stop talking. Your son has grown up and is sensible now."
Tang Wenjie's mother hurried out to smooth things over.
"Now you know what's going on. He has caused so much trouble for the family. He hangs around with a bunch of bad friends all day long, like a second-rate person. He has no job, no skills, and even less the chance to go to college. I'd be very lucky if he could get into a junior college."
Tang Wenjie's father looked at Tang Wenjie and felt a bit of a headache.
"Which job you find can afford food and drink?"
Tang Wenjie retorted.
"Which of them can't provide you with food and drink? Many people rely on a job to support their families, but you don't give money to your family at work, but ask for money every month. Do you think I run a printing factory here and the money is for you to print?
By the way, let me tell you about what happened recently. It’s true that you borrowed money from a loan shark. Tell me why you borrowed so much money.
Your grandfather doesn’t know about this for the time being. If you knew, you would be skinned alive.
It's a loan shark of 15,000 yuan. You can't pay it back even if you sell yourself. You'd better tell me honestly how much you have in your pocket and pay it back quickly. I've already asked someone to make arrangements over there. You don't have to pay back the interest but the principal.
If you dare to contact these people again, I will kill you with my own hands. ”
As he spoke, Tang Wenjie's father started whipping him with his belt.
“The flowers are gone.”
As soon as Tang Wenjie finished speaking, the belt flew to his face.
Before he could explain, a belt mark appeared on his face. Tang Wenjie's mother was shocked when she saw it, but she still didn't dare to step forward to persuade him. The debt was too big. Even if they sold all the belongings in the family, they couldn't pay back the 15,000 yuan.
"Tell me where you spend your money. I want to see how you spend it."
Tang Wenjie's father swung the belt and hit him countless times, but Tang Wenjie didn't dodge or say a word and just kept taking it.
“I bought a TV.”
After his father had finished beating him, Tang Wenjie spoke slowly.
"What kind of TV costs 15,000? Do you think I'm a fool?"
"I bought twenty of them, and twenty tape recorders."
"You bought so much, can you finish it?"
As he spoke, Tang Wenjie's father was ready to take action again, but then he thought something was wrong. Where did Tang Wenjie get the money to buy so many televisions? One TV set cost six hundred yuan, and twenty sets were already twelve thousand yuan. In addition, twenty tape recorders cost two hundred and thirty-five yuan each, so the fifteen thousand was not enough.
"Tell me what's going on, or I'll take you to the police station to turn yourself in, and you can go to the correctional facility and slowly pay them back the fifteen thousand."
Tang's father found many things wrong. This ticket was a big problem. Who would have the guts to trick his son into buying stolen things? If he had brought people to catch the culprit immediately, he could have recovered the loss.
Fifteen thousand is not a small number.
Tian Can was right next to them, but he didn't dare to make a sound. The scene was simply too scary.
"Tian Can went to his aunt's house in the district some time ago and found out about a place that sells TV sets without tickets. After he came back, he discussed with me to go buy some TV sets together and sell them in the district. A TV set costs 600 yuan without tickets.
Although a TV in Rongcheng only costs 600 yuan, many families don't have tickets. If we sell it for 700 yuan, many people will be vying for it. So I borrowed 15,000 yuan and Tian Can borrowed 2,000 yuan, and then we went to the district.
The man brought goods from the south. Every day many people went to him to buy televisions. He also gave us two documents, which were formal and legal documents from the south. ”
Tang Wenjie quickly took out the documents that Zhao Yi gave them. He didn't expect that his father would be serious this time. He didn't have any time to prepare and didn't dare to resist at all. It would be easy for him to deal with his father, but it would be terrible if his grandfather knew about it.
Tang Wenjie's father took the document and read it carefully. He found that it was from the Special Administrative Region and immediately realized that the document was real.
They are all people within the system, especially their father who is the top leader of Rongcheng. Of course, he knows what the special economic zones mean now. The special economic zones are the pioneers of the Belt and Road Initiative. As long as the special economic zones are developed and drive the surrounding economies, this model can even drive the national economy if it is implemented.
It’s just that Tang Wenjie’s father didn’t expect that someone had smelled the business opportunity so early. Shouldn’t those people in Kyoto be the first to smell it?
Knowing that Tang Wenjie was going to do real work, Tang's father didn't care. This was equivalent to making money from the price difference of information, and it also made it convenient for those who didn't have tickets to buy a home appliance for their home.
If I do what my son said, not only can I pay off other people's debts, but I can also make a lot of money.
"You guys handle this matter on your own. Don't take any crooked paths for me."
At the same time on the other side.
At this time, long queues formed in front of the home appliance stores again. Some people did not dare to buy when the stalls were selling goods, fearing that they were stolen. Now that the shops have opened, they have become bolder. If they dare to open shops, they must have bought from legitimate channels.
Home appliances don’t require tickets, which is equivalent to picking up three hundred dollars for free.
"Comrade, I remember you gave away cassettes when you bought a tape recorder here. Why don't you give away cassettes now?"
A young man who bought a tape recorder looked at Zhao Yi and asked.
"That was given away at the beginning to promote the company. It wasn't profitable in the first place, and if we gave away cassettes we would lose money. There's a cassette for one dollar at the cassette plaza. They have all the songs from Hong Kong. You can go over there tonight and take a look."
Zhao Yi explained with a smile, and at the same time helped his uncle promote the product.
As for the fact that Tang Wenjie was beaten with a belt after buying home appliances from him, Zhao Yi didn't know about it.
