He Yongjun and Ma Banghua looked at each other in bewilderment. They had never dealt in such a thing as shuffling supplies before. They were so excited now, only thinking about making more money, that they hadn't considered this problem at all!
He Yongjun said with a look of regret: "Ah, I'm still greedy! It's just like what you said, brother. Without the factory's endorsement, let alone making this little money, I'm afraid I can't even get through the door!"
Ma Banghua said listlessly: "I'm also worried about money. Who knew dating would cost so much!"
Ye Zhiqiu asked with a smile: "What's wrong with you two brothers? Is dating really so expensive? You two are almost worried. Don't scare me. I'm also at the age to find a partner!"
Ma Banghua sighed, "Brother, you are different from us. We didn't save any money before, and we spent it all on eating and drinking! Don't worry about you two laughing at me. I asked my boyfriend to eat roast duck with me two days ago, and he still asked my mother for money.
Now, I don’t even dare to ask a girl out, for fear that she’ll want a bottle of soda and I won’t be able to afford the few cents…”
He Yongjun said with a smile, "Old Ma, stop talking! I also made an appointment with my girlfriend to go shopping in Wangfujing yesterday, and she fell in love with a piece of clothing. I thought that as a Beijing man, I couldn't lose face! I gritted my teeth and bought it for her. Now I don't have a dime in my pocket!"
The worst part is, I can’t ask my family for money! Otherwise, they’ll ask me where the money went after working so long. What should I say?
Ye Zhiqiu was secretly happy. These two guys had been working for so long, but in the end, they were all broke. They didn't even have the courage to ask a girl out. How miserable they were!
He turned his head to the side, but his shaking shoulders were seen by two men, who stepped forward and restrained him.
"You're such a good fellow! I told you this because I consider you my brother, but you actually laughed at me in secret!"
"Brother, this matter didn't even last half a pack of cigarettes, and I can't get over it!"
Ye Zhiqiu grinned and said, "Come on, it's just cigarettes, right? I'll give you two a pack each later. Oh my, you're both so miserable. You're even relying on extortion to buy cigarettes! Now I believe you really have no money left!"
They were all joking and laughing, and no one was angry. Ye Zhiqiu reached into his bag and actually took out a few packs of Daqianmen from the space. He took out two packs and gave one to each of them.
"It's just that I don't have cigarettes! Since you two promised to protect me when I first started working here, I'm happy to give you these two packs of cigarettes!"
"Hey! It's all right, bro. Just let me know if you need anything next time. Just don't bother with borrowing money!"
"That's right, everything else is easy to talk about except borrowing money..."
The three of them gathered together and lit their cigarettes. Ye Zhiqiu narrowed his eyes and whispered, "At first I thought you guys wouldn't care about this small amount of money! Since you two are really in need of money, I'll go talk to them when I get home from get off work tonight!"
We're brothers, but we need to keep our accounts straight! Don't worry about how I bargain with the dealer; I'll give it to you at 40 cents per pound. As for how much you sell it for, I won't charge you the difference.
But where you sell fish, you need to get a certificate of entrusting me to purchase it. Do you think this is feasible?"
He Yongjun looked puzzled and said, "There's definitely no problem with the purchase certificate. The place where we sell fish is definitely a legitimate organization. But aren't you going to work in vain? The last time my uncle went to the village to buy fish, he also charged 40 cents!"
Ma Banghua also looked at Ye Zhiqiu in surprise. This 40 cents price was indeed too low! Although they also wanted to lower it to below 40 cents, they had basically no hope.
Ye Zhiqiu naturally had his own plans for doing this. With the help of Accountant Zhao, he could naturally lower the price!
Besides, he was not doing this for the money, his main purpose was to find a way to make money so that he could barely explain it to his family!
As for outsiders, if they don't investigate him carefully, how can they know whether he has money or not? Besides, it's not allowed for them to spend their family's money, right?
Ye Zhiqiu whispered, "I won't make any extra money from you on your share. I'll just make the difference from the factory. To be honest, I have someone who helps to lower the price. After the purchase, I have to share the profit with him.
Otherwise, why would they sell their fish to me at a lower price? It doesn't matter who they sell it to. Don't you agree? "
He Yongjun lowered his voice and whispered, "That's right. I didn't expect you to have such connections! If you can negotiate a lower price, even if you sell the factory, you can still get a month or two's salary. This job is really doable!"
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said, "That's it! I'll go discuss it over the next two days. Once we agree on the price, it's time to release the water into the fish pond. When I return to the factory to notify you, I'll also let you know when to go and catch the fish."
The two nodded happily, and the matter was settled.
Ye Zhiqiu did this to get the commune to help hide the number of fish he had. After all, they would collect as many fish as the fish in their pond could hold. But the fish he sold to He Yongjun and the others were fish from his own space!
Ye Zhiqiu didn't plan to sell them much, just one or two thousand kilograms would be enough. The key point was that this kind of opportunity was rare, with the Sanlitun Commune providing cover and the brewery endorsing it!
If you don't take advantage of this opportunity, you might not be able to make money this way in the future! Although the difference in the price of the fish you buy isn't considered legitimate, this kind of hidden income is normal, and even if you're caught, it won't cause any problems.
For Ye Zhiqiu, the fish in the space were useless! Because if he bought them back to the factory, he could only sell about 100 kilograms a month, and there would be no suitable source for more than that!
As for fish, there is no way to explain the source of so many fish unless you use a fishing net to catch them!
After the matter was settled, the three of them chatted until it was time for lunch. Ye Zhiqiu took his lunch box and followed the two of them to the cafeteria.
The brewery has only one canteen, which can accommodate more than 1,100 people. The canteen is quite large. However, it cannot accommodate more than 1,000 people at a time. Therefore, a large number of people will take their meals back to the office or eat outside the workshop.
Ye Zhiqiu saw that both of them had taken out ten-cent meal tickets, so he also prepared his own. While waiting in line, he saw the price posted on the window.
Ye Zhiqiu only then realized that he could get two steamed buns made of 200g flour for 5 cents. A serving of vegetables was also 5 cents, and the meat dish, scrambled eggs with chili peppers, required a meal ticket worth 10 cents!
So, eating lunch at the factory for a month only costs three yuan! This is much more affordable than anything else. No wonder my cheap dad always says that the two-grain steamed buns are delicious and asks me to eat lunch at the factory too!
The three of them returned to the office. Ma Banghua smiled and said, "Brother, do you know why we sleep in the office every day instead of going out for a walk when we have nothing to do?"
