Chapter 470 A battle without gunpowder
In the past few years of reform and opening up, the market has changed rapidly.
Lei Yanjun felt that if he went back to his previous industry after a few years, he might not be able to keep up with the situation.
Besides, he was a scholar at the beginning and had a strong self-esteem.
He didn't want to go back to his previous circle. After thinking about it
, he chose a track that only made money and not losses.
Collecting waste.
The main reason was that he got out of prison and his first income came from picking up scraps.
It was a bit unexpected that this industry that he looked down on before made more money than he thought.
So after Lin Wanxia's investment, Lei Yanjun directly opened a waste recycling station.
Every industry is like playing a game, there is an upgrade path.
Pick up the rags, collect the rags, open a recycling station, and then subdivide and specialize in management or secondary processing.
Lei Yanjun had 100,000 yuan, renovated his house, and opened a recycling station with the rest.
There were no competitors nearby, and Lei Yanjun's business was good.
He was good at handling things, and he also hired a few regular rag collectors.
There were a few bachelors who made a living by collecting rags and had no place to live.
Lei Yanjun divided the room in the yard into single rooms and gave them free accommodation.
On the surface, Lei Yanjun seemed to be at a loss, but in fact he was not at a loss at all.
First, it means he has a stable source of customers. They come to him twice a day to sell, and he can earn more money from the price difference than working.
Secondly, these bachelors have a lot of time, and sometimes they sell the junk too early, so they will help him tidy up the things in the yard. This
saves Lei Yanjun a lot of money, which is far more valuable than the rent.
They can also help look after the yard when he is not around.
In this way, Lei Yanjun's business is getting better and better.
He collects junk, and suddenly one day, someone comes to him to collect junk.
He doesn't want anything else but to collect newspapers.
Lei Yanjun collects newspapers for a few cents per pound, and he collects them for a dime per piece.
"Back then, I could earn more than ten yuan a day by doing anything except cleaning up waste paper." Lei Yanjun said.
Lin Wanxia was puzzled: "Why did he buy newspapers?"
"I asked him too. But that grandson didn't tell me the truth. He said he liked to collect old newspapers because he was nostalgic. But one time I noticed that he didn't come alone, but with foreigners. He sold newspapers to foreigners when he went out.
He was even more corrupt than me. He bought my products at the price in our country and sold them to foreigners at a price."
Lei Yanjun was once the richest man in the island city and had seen the world.
"But..." Lei Yanjun hesitated.
"Well?" Lin Wanxia asked, "Just tell me."
Lei Yanjun scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "You know I'm sometimes greedy. I saw that man made a profit, so I quietly followed him and waited for them to separate. I went to talk to the foreigner and wanted to sell the newspaper to him directly."
He paused, then spoke again, his tone was a little confused and a little aggrieved, "He agreed at the time, but he never showed up again from the next day."
Lin Wanxia has been studying spies recently. Hearing this, her heart moved and she asked Lei Yanjun, "What happened next?"
"Later, I thought it might be easier to make money from foreigners, so I started to study collecting foreigners' junk." Lei Yanjun laughed at himself, "You also know that most people seek profit and avoid harm. Although I am not as prosperous as before, at least I have risen, and I have more and more friends, so I built a bridge. I now collect waste paper from foreign countries and sell it as finished paper in China. There are all kinds of paper, including daily chemical paper and stationery paper.
Although I am unwilling, I have to admit that their waste paper is much better than ours."
It is always difficult to send charcoal in the snow, but it is easy to add icing on the cake.
***
After returning home, Lin Wanxia told Jiang Sinian about the newspaper situation mentioned by Lei Yanjun.
Lei Yanjun immediately notified the National Security Bureau.
Soon, they found the person who had come to Lei Yanjun to collect junk, and also found the foreigner.
Sure enough, the foreigner was a spy.
But he was just a low-level spy, and his task was to collect all kinds of newspapers.
Whether it was a city newspaper or a national newspaper, he wanted them. He
would extract useful information from the collected newspapers and report them.
There were spies like him all over the country.
A stone stirred up a thousand waves.
All parts of the country quietly started to catch spies.
Jiang Sinian even went to the island city in the middle of the year to deal with this matter.
Because the army was also involved.
The army had a propaganda department and its own newspapers.
The navy, army and air force had them, and there were also newspapers between the major military regions.
Lin Wanxia had seen newspapers before. In the past, many sisters-in-law in the compound used them to cover the walls of their homes.
In Lin Wanxia's opinion, there was nothing special about them, and things that really needed to be kept secret would not be published in newspapers.
But for foreigners, the meaning may be different.
Especially for the head of state, these trivial information may allow them to find out the trends of a country.
And it was found that the newspapers distributed by the army were also collected and taken away in pieces.
In response to this, the army immediately issued a notice that all newspapers were not allowed to leave the compound.
Not only newspapers, but all textual materials, including the notes of Jiang Sinian and others' daily meetings, must be burned together and completely destroyed.
This is a later story.
What is in front of me is a battle without gunpowder.
If Lin Wanxia had not been in it, she would not have noticed the waves and undercurrents around her.
This battle obviously affected Lin Shusheng.
Lin Shusheng suddenly had more time now and often stayed at home with Song Shuyun.
Whether it was true or not, Song Shuyun was visibly happy recently.
Lin Shusheng always found excuses to call Lin Wanxia over.
On the surface, he said that he missed her and Yueyue, and wanted to have a meal together as a family.
But in reality, he would always ask indirectly if there were any policy changes recently.
Lin Wanxia didn't know anything about it.
In fact, she really didn't know.
If she hadn't been involved, she wouldn't have known about the aircraft carrier.
The person being protected will never know what the tall figure standing in front of you is carrying.
As time went by, Lin Shusheng became more and more restless. He
even seldom went to the hotel.
Most of the staff in the hotel followed the routine.
At least nothing could be seen on the surface.
One day, when Lin Wanxia went to the bathroom, she heard two tour guides complaining.
"I don't know what happened, several groups that had made reservations applied for refunds, and my commission was cut in half."
"It's not just them, I'm the same."
"I found that the groups with the most refunds are all going to Linshi."
"Huh? Now that you mention it, I found that mine is the same!"
"Really? And there is a young couple in my group, they come almost every month, they came last month, but suddenly cancelled this month."
