Chapter 159
Liang Qiurun had already opened the car door, and he was about to get in with his hand on it. Hearing this, he turned back and stood up straight. "Know what?"
He is always like this no matter who he talks to, with a proper manner, a gentle voice, and is very well-educated.
Seeing him like this, Shen Zhanlie felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. To be honest, every time he came to the slum, he would be compared and looked down upon.
On the contrary, the person involved, Liang Qiurun, had never done this before and was quite respectful to him.
Seeing him like this, Shen Zhanlie shook his head and said vaguely, "Nothing." He had no intention of telling the truth. He asked this just to test whether he knew about the sisters swapping marriages.
Liang Qiurun was a little confused. He pushed the car door shut, walked over to Shen Zhanlie, and asked in a low voice, "Is there something I don't know?"
Now that Shen Zhanlie knew the result of the test, he naturally wouldn't tell the truth. Because at least this matter shouldn't come out of his mouth.
He smiled and said, half-truthfully, "It's about the fight between my wife and yours."
"That's it." Liang Qiurun nodded. "I know. My Jiang Jiang mentioned it to me before, but didn't they reconcile later?"
Shen Zhanlie, “Yeah.”
"They are biological sisters. It's always like this. Even after a quarrel, they make up quickly."
Even things like marriage exchange can be done.
*
After Liang Qiurun and Shen Zhanlie left, only the Jiang family members were left. The elders did not get involved in the affairs of the younger generations. Wang Limei saw that Liang's mother had not played much, so the leaf cards here were upgraded.
She took the one-year-old Shen Xiaoju in her arms and took Liang's mother to visit neighbors and play cards.
After they left, the younger one couldn't stay at home any longer. Jiang Nanfang took Liang Rui and Liang Feng out as well. There were so many fun places in the compound.
Now only Jiang Meishu and Jiang Meilan are left at home.
Jiang Meishu could no longer hold back. She had finally gotten the chance, so she couldn't wait to ask, "Sister, what did you mean by making money during the Chinese New Year?"
Jiang Meilan raised her hand and tapped her forehead, "What's the most profitable thing during the Chinese New Year?"
This question really stumped Jiang Meishu, "Couplet?"
"I've already done the couplet business," Jiang Meilan said helplessly. "Besides, it's after the New Year now. Who would still be doing the couplet business? Isn't that obviously a loss?"
"Then what?"
Jiang Meishu really didn't expect this.
"firecracker."
Jiang Meilan took out a box of firecrackers from her pocket. The lid of the box had been opened and had creases on it, which showed that she carried it with her and often showed it to others.
She handed over the firecrackers and said, “I asked Shen Zhanlie to go to the firecracker factory and find someone to get the goods.”
Red, finger-knuckle-long firecrackers were neatly arranged in a box. Jiang Meishu couldn't help but frown when she saw them. She really didn't like the sound of firecrackers. The sudden and unexpected explosions were so frightening that they scared the hell out of people.
"dislike?"
As soon as she saw her sister's expression, she knew what was going on. Jiang Meilan took the box back and said, "Don't underestimate this box of firecrackers. I bought it for 1.5 cents and sell it for 10 cents a box. The children are scrambling to get them."
Even families who are frugal on weekdays will give their children some New Year's money during the Chinese New Year, and this money will eventually be exchanged for candy or firecrackers.
Children's money is the easiest to earn, this is a truth from ancient times to the present.
Jiang Meilan did this because she saw this point.
After hearing this, Jiang Meishu was a little surprised and said, "Then your profit is quite high." It's not just doubled, it's increased six or seven times.
"Really?" Jiang Meilan said with a smile, "I thought you looked down on this business." She knew that her sister was rich.
Jiang Meishu, "How come?"
She was curious, "How did you sell it? Didn't they say there's a severe crackdown now?"
Jiang Meilan whispered, "I'm going to a place where there are many children, shooting one shot and moving to another place."
"Shen Zhanlie and I started on the 28th day of the lunar year and have moved to more than a dozen places so far." She smiled. "Don't underestimate this dime business. In just these few days, we have already made more than a hundred."
You should know that Shen Zhanlie's salary was only more than 30 yuan a month after he was converted to a regular employee, and the business of selling firecrackers during the Chinese New Year was almost as much as Shen Zhanlie's salary for several months.
Jiang Meishu gave a thumbs up, "Great."
"Will you do this business?" Jiang Meilan asked her in a low voice, "The market is huge. Shen Zhanlie and I alone can't handle it all. We'd be running around everywhere every day."
"Instead of getting others involved, why don't you bring Liang Rui and the others with you?"
"It's only a week away. Apart from anything else, there are so many of you, so it's no problem for each of you to earn a hundred yuan."
Jiang Meishu thought for a moment and said, "I can't do it alone." She admitted, "I can't do something like selling to individuals."
She is thin-skinned and not good at speaking, so she doesn't dare to sell to others.
"However, I can call Liang Rui and Liang Feng in. Since they are here, I can also call Nan Fang."
Now, it was Jiang Meilan's turn to hesitate, "Nanfang's character is a nerd, I'm afraid he won't do this kind of business."
First, she is timid, and second, she is not flexible enough. Therefore, every time Jiang Meilan encounters a profitable business, she would rather call her sister Jiang Meishu than her younger brother Jiang Nanfang.
He is really too old-fashioned!
Jiang Meishu smiled and said, "That's why I have to bring Jiang Nanfang with me. I'll call Liang Rui and let Liang Rui teach Nanfang."
"They are of the same age, and they are all boys, so they are easier to talk to."
Now, Jiang Meilan no longer objected. She looked at her sister's back as she went out to look for someone, and sighed slightly in her heart. To be honest, her sister Jiang Meishu had a better relationship with Nan Tfang.
Also more thoughtful.
For example, Jiang Meilan had done so many business deals before, but she had never thought about Jiang Nanfang. Deep down in her heart, she was essentially resistant to it.
Just like how she treats her elder brother, boy, son, and boy with a penis, these three words essentially mean a predator to her.
Household resource plunderers.
The root cause of parents' partiality is simply because the other person has gained some weight.
Ultimately, to some extent, she was hostile to the men in her family, which was why she had been back for so long and only called her "sister" when doing business.
He didn't call his parents, nor did he call Jiang Nanfang.
She was afraid, deep down she was afraid that the money she earned, along with the money her parents earned, would eventually be divided among Nan Fang and her elder brother.
She couldn't accept this idea.
But if it is shared with her sister, she would agree.
After all, in Jiang Meilan's eyes, her sister is her own family, followed by her parents, and then Jiang Nanfang and her elder brother Jiang Dali.
While Jiang Meilan was daydreaming, Jiang Meishu ran out and called back Liang Rui, Liang Feng, and Jiang Nanfang.
She is also direct.
"There's a profitable business, would you like to do it?"
As soon as she said this, Liang Rui's eyes lit up, "What business?" He was particularly interested in making money now.
Jiang Meishu didn't hide it either. She whispered, "Selling firecrackers."
this--
Liang Rui agreed immediately, "How do we do it?"
Liang Feng was also eager to try.
Only Jiang Nanfang hesitated. "This is speculation. If someone finds out, I'm afraid we'll be finished."
He is naturally cautious and timid.
As soon as Jiang Nanfang finished speaking, Liang Rui rolled his eyes. "You want to make money, but you don't want to take risks?"
"Is there such a good thing in this world?"
Jiang Nanfang thought about it and said, "If the risk is too great, the input-output ratio will not be worthwhile."
He was a bit nagging.
Like a monk chanting.
Jiang Meilan gave Jiang Meishu a look and said, "See, this is what she said, right? You can't call Jiang Nanfang."
Her brother was born with this kind of personality, conservative and cautious, with rules for every step. He was born to read and study, and he would even be very suitable for scientific research in the future.
Jiang Meishu thought for a moment and said, "Nanfang, if you don't want to go, just stay at home and watch the door."
"A few of us can go, but the prerequisite is that you keep it a secret for us. Secondly, you missed this opportunity." Jiang Meilan's expression became more serious. "Nanfang, your character flaw is that you are conservative, tight-lipped, and not very good at dealing with people."
"This is a great training opportunity. If you miss it, you'll never have it again."
This opportunity was something she had fought for Jiang Nanfang from her sister Jiang Meilan. If he gave up this time, Jiang Meishu was sure that there would be such an opportunity again in the future.
Her sister would definitely not choose to take Jiang Nanfang with her.
Jiang Nanfang struggled a little.
Liang Rui slapped him on the shoulder. "What are you still hesitating about? Jiang Nanfang, if I had you agree immediately, and you didn't seize this opportunity to make money, what would happen? You're planning to go to high school and college in the future, and ask your family for money?"
"Don't you think about how many more years your parents can work?"
After hearing this, Jiang Nanfang's face turned pale instantly. He always knew that he was a burden to the family. His eldest brother was married and his two sisters were also married.
He is the biggest expense in the family now.
He was a teenager, at the age when he needed to eat a lot, and he was very hungry all day long. However, he only had so many food coupons every month. He used to feel very hungry every day, but he had to endure it.
Later, his eldest brother was separated and his sister got married. The family had a little more food, but it was still not enough. They still had to endure it every day, but it was better than before. Fortunately, after his two sisters got married, life became more comfortable.
Especially the second sister Jiang Meishu, she would send back some food and food coupons every month, and even money.
To be honest, it was only after this that Jiangnan began to slowly eat his fill, and no longer felt dizzy and hungry during classes every day.
After thinking it through, Jiangnan no longer hesitated and said, "I'll go too."
Almost crisp and clear.
"I'm going to make some money too."
He looked up at Jiang Meishu. Although he didn't say anything, Jiang Meishu understood. This way, second sister, you can give less money to their family.
Jiangnan Fang has always been worried that her second sister has been supporting her parents' family and is afraid that her husband's family is not living well.
Now that he has the opportunity to make money, it would be really wrong if he didn't seize it.
Seeing that he agreed.
Jiang Meishu breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't mind giving money to her parents' home. According to her current net worth, she would give her parents thirty or fifty yuan each time.
It may be a lot for others, but it is not much for her.
Based on her savings, she couldn't even spend all the interest she earned every year.
A definitely rich woman.
"Since you've agreed, let's make the arrangements."
Jiang Meishu and Jiang Meilan exchanged glances, and Jiang Meilan finally spoke, "Each person's initial capital is fifty yuan."
As soon as these words fell, Liang Rui subconsciously asked, "So little?"
"Then this business is too small."
What he did before were all four-digit businesses.
Jiang Meilan glanced at him and said, "The purchase price is 1.5 cents, and the selling price is 10 cents."
"Fifty dollars is enough for you to buy two sacks of goods, and if you sell all of them, you can make at least five times the profit."
"That means at least five hundred yuan."
After saying this, Liang Rui swallowed subconsciously and he no longer dared to say that this was a small business.
Small business, but big money.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Jiang Meilan knew that he had given in. She then said, "I'll go there by bike later. I'll go to the firecracker factory first to buy some, and then sell it to these places."
"Two people work in a group, one guards and the other does the business. The person should be smart. If they see something is wrong, they should immediately carry the goods and run away on their bikes."
This is obviously Jiang Meilan's experience.
Liang Rui and the others nodded and looked at the locations she wrote down.
Memorize them one by one in your heart.
“Will there be many children in these places?”
Liang Feng was cautious, so he asked another question. Only children would be willing to buy these firecrackers. Few parents would be willing to buy them.
Jiang Meilan hummed, "Just go to places like Hutongkou and Wangfujing. Where there are more children, and where there are more boys, that's where you should go."
"When you get there, don't say anything else. Just set off firecrackers in front of them. Throw one for them to hear the bang. Boys naturally love these things. Once you throw one on the ground and it goes off, a group of kids will immediately gather around."
As soon as these words fell, not to mention Liang Feng, even Liang Rui's eyes lit up, and his eyeballs began to roll around. He nudged Jiang Meishu lightly with his elbow and said, "Your sister is really good at business."
He would never have thought of these things, but when they came to Jiang Meilan, everything seemed so natural.
Jiang Meishu was a little proud, "She is a natural born businessman."
In fact, more than half of the money she earns now comes from ideas brought by her sister.
Um.
If it weren't for her sister, Jiang Meishu suspected that she might really have become a useless person who only lived and waited for death.
Seeing her like this, Liang Rui couldn't help but mutter, "I'm praising your sister, why are you so proud?"
Jiang Meishu rolled her eyes at him and said, "I'm willing, is that not possible?"
When Jiang Meilan saw how the two of them got along, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart that this was because her sister had a good personality. Whenever she got along with Liang Rui, she liked to be competitive and strong. Just because of Liang Rui's tone, she turned against him from the very beginning.
So, human character is really amazing.
After she and her sister changed their marriages, their lives were completely different. This seemed to be a good idea. Thinking of this, Jiang Meilan couldn't help but smile, "Okay, let's go out and borrow a bicycle now."
"Two people share a bicycle. The goods are placed on the front bar, and people sit on the back. The sellers and the lookouts must be kept separate."
"Don't go over to help, just focus on guarding the surrounding environment. If anything happens, the person on guard will immediately ride a bike to pick up the seller and leave immediately. Don't hesitate. Even if you have goods to sell and don't get the money back, it doesn't matter. People are important. As long as there are green mountains, there will be no shortage of firewood."
"As long as we don't get caught by the people wearing red armbands, there's a chance everything will turn around."
These can be said to be Jiang Meilan's experience of setting up stalls for nearly two years. The reason why she has not been caught in the past two years is because she is vigilant, runs fast, and gets along well with other stall owners around her.
The two sides informed each other.
After hearing Jiang Meilan's words, everyone became thoughtful.
"Have you decided how to divide the two into groups?"
At this point, Jiang Meishu and the others looked at each other and said, "I'll take Nanfang, and Liang Rui will take Liang Feng."
Liang Rui subconsciously rejected it, "No."
"I want to be in a group with you, and let Liang Feng lead Liang Rui."
Seeing Jiang Meishu about to refuse, Liang Rui subconsciously said, "Don't underestimate Liang Feng. I was the one who helped him with the two waves of business before the New Year. He picked it up very quickly."
Jiang Meishu frowned, and Liang Rui continued, "I just want to be in the same group with you."
It's rare to hear her speak in a somewhat coquettish tone.
Jiang Meishu didn't answer whether it was good or bad. She went to see Liang Feng and said, "Nanfang has never been involved in this kind of business before. Can you and him handle it together?"
Business people need to be flexible.
She was afraid of these two nerds and didn't want to get herself involved.
Liang Feng hesitated a little, "I don't know, but I can try."
"Don't try it." Jiang Meishu made the final decision. "How about this, I'll take Jiang T Nanfang in the first round." Liang Rui was dissatisfied and was about to refute, but Jiang Meishu interrupted him, "For the second round, Nanfang and Liang Feng will have experience. Let's switch. Liang Rui and I will be in one group, and Nanfang and Liang Feng will be in the other. Is this feasible?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Liang Rui, who had opposed it before, no longer opposed it.
He went to see Liang Feng and Jiang Nanfang.
Both of them nodded, agreeing.
Jiang Meilan raised her eyebrows. "Then go borrow a car and meet in front of the firecracker factory in the south of the city in an hour."
Now, everyone naturally agreed.
Jiang Meilan and Shen Zhanlie have bicycles. Now that their family is rich, they bought two bicycles for convenience.
She and Shen Zhanlie shared one car, and the other was lent to Jiang Meishu and Jiang Nanfang.
Liang Rui and Liang Feng used Jiang's old 28-inch bicycle, which was more than ten years old and made a clanging sound when they rode it.
But the car is so big that the front bumper can hold things.
After all the cars were gathered, Jiang Meilan took out three large sacks and gave one to each of the three people.
Hidden in Jiang Meishu's arms.
The group gathered at the firecracker factory. In those days, the firecracker factory was still a red brick and tile building with an iron fence at the entrance. The paint was peeling badly and it was extremely rusty.
After Jiang Meilan arrived at the place, she skillfully led them in through the back door and found an old lady who was installing fuses in the warehouse.
Then put the allocated charcoal, sulfur and saltpeter into special red paper tubes.
The women worked quickly, packing in several firecrackers in just a minute or two. Jiang Meishu was dazzled as she hid in the back.
"Auntie Chen, we are looking for a batch of goods." Jiang Meilan leaned sideways and stuffed something into Auntie Chen's hand.
Aunt Chen weighed it and nodded. "How much do you want?"
Jiang Meilan thought for a moment and said, "I want three orders of fifty yuan each."
As soon as these words fell, Aunt Chen frowned and said, "You are asking for too much."
Jiang Meilan smiled and said, "Auntie, the Chinese New Year is almost over. If the firecracker factory doesn't sell the firecrackers quickly, they will have to wait until next year."
"Instead of storing them in the warehouse, why not sell them to us?"
This too.
Otherwise, Aunt Chen would not have brought them to the warehouse.
Aunt Chen was silent for a while, and then she said, "Don't tell anyone." What she sold to them were those old and second-hand goods.
If firecrackers weren't sold out by Chinese New Year, they'd have to wait until the following year. Year after year, the firecracker factory had a backlog of used goods, and no one knew how many there were.
Aunt Chen has been working in the firecracker factory for more than ten years, and she is in charge of the warehouse, so she is familiar with this kind of thing.
It was also common practice to sell for fifty, report thirty, and then embezzle twenty for oneself.
It is precisely because of the benefits that she agreed.
Hearing Aunt Chen say this, Jiang Meilan knew that the matter was settled. She smiled and complimented her, "Aunt Chen, you are so kind."
"If we hadn't met you, we young people would be at a loss."
Everyone likes to hear nice things, and Aunt Chen is no exception. Seeing that her face had softened a bit, no longer as repulsive and resistant as before, Jiang Meishu sighed softly in her heart.
This is also because her sister is amazing. She is a natural born businessman. She is good at observing people's expressions and coaxing them into doing things. She is really first-class.
If she were to do this, she wouldn't be able to do it.
Jiang Meishu followed Jiang Meilan and did whatever her sister said.
When they came out of the firecracker factory again, there were three groups of people, each carrying a snakeskin bag full of firecrackers. The snakeskin bags were the kind that could hold a hundred kilograms of goods. They were all stuffed bulging with firecrackers and placed on the horizontal bar.
Jiang Nanfang was riding the bike in front and Jiang Meishu was sitting in the back, but Jiang Nanfang was really too green and he really only knew how to study.
He simply couldn't ride a bicycle with people and goods.
My legs were shaking like noodles, but I tried hard to push forward, but I still couldn't get through. It was just like an old man pulling a cart, pushing hard and hard, but just couldn't get through!
Jiang Meishu, "..."
Liang Rui, “…”
Seeing this anxious, he simply jumped down and turned around to exchange cars with Jiang Nanfang. "Jiang Nanfang, is this all the strength you have?"
Jiang Nanfang is different from Liang Rui. He is really thin, as thin as a bamboo pole. This is the result of years of hunger.
Even when Jiang Meishu later brought food coupons and grain home, he never ate too much. Almost every time, he only needed to eat until he was 70% full.
He is the only burden to the family, and he has been trying to reduce the burden on the family in his own way.
However, he usually just studied hard and didn't do any physical work. But when he encountered this kind of work that required physical effort, he was dumbfounded.
I really tried to use all my strength to push the pedals of the bicycle, but I couldn't get on. I just couldn't get on.
After being scolded by Liang Rui, Jiang Nanfang just jumped off the front seat of the bicycle, lowered his head and said nothing.
He was also angry at his own incompetence.
Liang Rui looked at him with his head down in frustration, thinking that this person was his uncle after all, so he had to give the other one some consideration. Jiang Meishu was good to him, so he couldn't bully her brother.
Thinking of this, Liang Rui comforted him, "Forget it, forget it. Your two legs are weak. As long as the third leg is strong when you get married, it will be enough."
