Return to the 80s, from touching loaches to becoming the world's richest man

The next morning, Lu Hai took the things he had received and went to the city.

This time, Liu Guowei personally collected the money at the door of the guesthouse. Liu Guowei was very impressed by the young man who sold him recipes, and only two days had passed, so when he saw Lu Hai, he walked up to him.

"Little comrade, it's really all thanks to you!"

Liu Guowei smiled and patted Lu Hai on the shoulder.

Seeing Liu Guowei's expression, Lu Hai knew that the fried snails was a very good dish and he probably tasted the sweetness.

Sure enough, Liu Guowei's next sentence confirmed Lu Hai's guess.

"Thanks to the dish you provided, otherwise I would not be able to complete my sales for this month."

Lu Hai smiled and said, "That must be because the reputation of the guesthouse is good. Otherwise, no matter how good the food is, it would be useless if no one eats it. Therefore, Director Liu's leadership also deserves great credit."

When Liu Guowei heard this, he was also happy.

I thought Lu Hai was an honest country boy, but I didn't expect him to speak in such a roundabout way.

At least it suits their taste.

However, although he was happy in his heart, his face was stern, "Little comrade, what you said is wrong, it is obviously our country that is good!"

"Yes, yes, Director Liu is right." Lu Hai quickly complimented.

When doing business, you should speak the same way to different people and different things to different people. That's common practice.

So land and sea are basically at your fingertips.

Before you have a certain level of strength, if you meet some people who like to show off, there will be nothing you can do even if you want to be their grandson.

"Comrade, thanks to you, your fried snails have received very good response. So, after discussion, we have decided to harvest an extra 100 kilograms of snails every day. Can you supply them?"

Lu Hai was immediately delighted. Wasn't it just for money that he had been working so hard for?

Although we know that fried snails is a very popular dish, after all, this dish has been verified by later generations.

Who doesn’t order a midnight snack?

Eat snails, drink a little wine, and brag to friends.

Therefore, Lu Hai had already anticipated this dish, but he did not expect that this small county town could consume 300 kilograms in a day.

After all, those who can eat in state-owned guesthouses are basically rich people.

I used to think there weren't that many rich people, but now it seems that I underestimated them...

Moreover, I make 30 cents per pound of snails, and 100 pounds makes 30 yuan, which is equivalent to the money I earn from setting up a stall in a whole day.

However, other villages will also start purchasing plans immediately, so 300 kilograms per day is no big deal.

"Director Liu, these 300 kilograms will be delivered to you every morning."

Then he mentioned the city's supply and marketing cooperative's purchase of aquatic products, and Liu Guowei was not surprised.

After all, the news that the aquatic product supply and marketing cooperative would collect aquatic products had been passed down a long time ago, and they would collect as many as possible, so basically as long as the procedures were complete, there would be no problem.

Therefore, it was no surprise that Lu Hai was able to accomplish it.

It’s just that when the land and sea are ready, we can bring them together.

Lu Hai also nodded in agreement.

After counting the money, he took the remaining loaches to the black market.

It was announced yesterday that we would collect as many loaches as possible, so the actual amount of loaches we received yesterday was not many, just a few dozen kilograms.

If they are left alone and die, they will no longer be fresh, so I thought of just setting up a stall and selling them.

The customers from a few days ago were still very respectful when they saw Lu Hai coming.

The dozens of kilograms of loaches they brought were sold out soon. I was a little surprised to see that Lu Hai didn't bring any snails to sell.

After all, these women have already tasted the sweetness of fried snails with leeks.

My man has been working much harder recently...

However, Lu Hai apologized to everyone.

At the same time, I also told everyone who asked me that I might not set up a stall here in the future.

Setting up stalls was just a stopgap measure before.

Now that the connections to the state-owned guesthouse and the aquatic supply and marketing cooperative have been established, there is naturally no energy to set up a stall here.

From now on, my main focus may be on collecting loaches.

After all, they said before they bought it that they didn’t want any dead or small ones.

Therefore, in order to ensure that everything is safe, Lu Hai still needs to check it.

One or two is fine, but if there are more, it is definitely not okay.

After hearing that Lu Hai might not come again, these women were a little disappointed.

After all, this young man is not only pleasing to the eye but also speaks well, and the things he sells are much better than those at other stalls.

Therefore, those who bought loaches and eels today bought one pound more than usual...

On weekdays, the products usually sell out until noon, but today they were sold out around ten o'clock in the morning, which was beyond Lu Hai's expectations.

But it’s better to finish the work early, so Lu Hai started to pack up and rush home.

......

......

On the way home, I bought two pounds of meat and some wine at the supply and marketing cooperative.

It was already past 11 o'clock when I got home, much earlier than usual.

Seeing that it was still early, he cooked some food and sent it to Jiang Lanqing and his parents.

Then he took some wine and went to the next village.

In the open space of the village, there was a group of young men sitting there chatting.

Seeing Lu Hai coming, everyone couldn't help but look surprised.

"Brother Hai, have you been trying to sober up these past few days? Otherwise, we agreed to meet here every day, so why don't we see you?"

Lu Hai knew that they were talking about how he had blacked out after drinking a few days ago.

In fact, I was reborn and traveled back in time, but I definitely couldn’t tell them this because they wouldn’t believe it even if I told them.

So Lu Hai smiled and said, "I've been busy these days, so I haven't had time to come over."

Everyone sneered when they heard this.

This group of people had no jobs and didn't want to go out to work, so they didn't really believe Lu Hai when he said he had something to do.

As if he had guessed what everyone was thinking, Lu Hai took out some bulk wine and cigarettes from behind him.

Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up,

"Brother Hai, you're willing to buy these cigarettes for two yuan a pack? Are you rich?"

After all, they are just a bunch of lazy idiots who have a hard time making a few cents on a daily basis.

Although I know this cigarette, where can I get the money to buy it?

Even the village chief's son among the crowd had never smoked this cigarette.

Lu Hai smiled mysteriously, "This is what I have been doing these days..."

Everyone took a cigarette out of the box, took a deep puff, and then poured a sip of wine into their mouths.

The body suddenly felt comfortable, and just then they heard Lu Hai's words. Everyone couldn't help but wonder,

"Brother Hai, have you been making money these days?"

Lu Hai nodded.

"Hiss!" After everyone got a definite answer, they all advised, "Brother Hai, although we are dirty, we must not do such a bad thing."

After all, if you can earn enough money to buy a pack of good cigarettes and alcohol for a few dollars in just a few days, you must have earned at least a dozen dollars.

But making more than ten yuan in a few days was something no one had ever heard of.

So, everyone thought that Lu Hai had done something illegal.

It can be said that although there are bad people in this era, there are more good people after all, and the people's customs are quite simple and honest.

Even if he is a second-rate person, he actually has his own conscience and bottom line in his heart.

There are still very few people who commit crimes.

Lu Hai smiled. This was why he was willing to make money with this group of brothers.

If in the future you find a way to make money and you don’t tell your friends about it, they may think you are stingy or even blame you.

However, this group of people just hope that they don't do anything illegal.

Lu Hai shook his head and scolded with a smile, "What are you thinking, am I that kind of person?"

Everyone looked at each other and saw relaxation in each other's eyes.

Then he turned to look at Lu Hai and said with a smile, "Brother Hai, you are not, but you look like it!"

"Go!" Lu Hai smiled and kicked a few people, but without much force, and then changed the subject.

"Don't worry, this is all legitimate business, but we need your help."

Several people were immediately puzzled when they heard this, "Brother Hai, how can we help you?"

Lu Hai looked at them seriously and said, "Help me collect loaches, eels, and snails in your village."

Several people were stunned when they heard this. "Brother Hai, this stuff is everywhere. If you want it, we can find dozens of kilograms for you. Why do you need to collect it?"

"Yeah, Brother Hai, this stuff is everywhere here. You can probably find one if you just go to the fields and dig around."

"That's right. Even if they are snails, they are everywhere in the river. Is it necessary to collect them?"

In this era, the concept of collecting things at one time is at most a few dozen kilograms, and thousands of kilograms is still unimaginable for ordinary people.

Lu Hai shook his head and stared at them seriously. "I need to collect a lot, so I need you to help me collect..."

Seeing Lu Hai's serious look, several people were stunned and knew that Lu Hai was not joking.

"Okay, Brother Hai, tell us how to collect it, and we brothers will help you."

The person who spoke was Luo Yongfeng, the son of the current village chief. Among this group of people, it can be said that his prestige is second only to Lu Hai.

"I'll take whatever I can get for one cent per pound."

When they heard this, they were stunned and looked at Lu Hai for a long time without recovering.

"Brother Hai, are you serious? No one wants this stuff in our fields. Unless the family is really out of food, even if it's five cents a pound, I guess there will be people eager to sell it. You're only ten cents a pound, how many you can take?"

Although Lu Hai knew that if he sold the fruits at five cents a pound, he could attract people to sell them, but since they were all from the same village, it would not be good for him to make so much money.

Moreover, as news and policies are released, there will inevitably be other people who come to collect these things. In order to make more money, they will definitely want the price to be as low as possible.

The price of one cent was what Lu Hai had thought of. While ensuring profits, it could also be slightly higher than some future acquisition prices, thus avoiding gossip.

If the villagers find out that the price they charge is lower than others when others come to collect the goods, they will definitely feel uncomfortable, and in their hearts they will definitely feel that they have made a lot of money from them.

If I get reported for this reason, it would be a lot of fun.

As for the price higher than one cent, Lu Hai didn't really believe it.

After all, people from outside the commune have to travel a long way to collect the crops, and various costs must be taken into account. If the purchase price is higher than one cent, they won’t make much money, and it would be a thankless task.

If it is lower than one cent, my purchase price will have an advantage.

Therefore, you will not lose out no matter what.

"Seriously, go ahead and collect them, but you guys, keep a close eye on them, don't let the small ones die."

"Just send these things to my house after you receive them. I'll give you five cents for every pound you receive."

Although, in this way, the money you earn will be 5 cents less, and the profit will be only 15 cents.

But the amount has increased!

It is still a sure win, so this deal can be done.

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.

After all, they can earn five cents per pound, so why not do it?

And it’s just collecting things, it’s not illegal!

"Okay, Brother Hai, I'll do it!"

"I did it too!"

"..."

Seeing that everyone agreed, Lu Hai nodded secretly.

"Okay, but the money will be settled the next night. Keep a record of how much you should give. Don't underestimate it. And don't underestimate it at 10 cents per pound."

"Finally, don't affect the team's production tasks, otherwise if something goes wrong, we will all be in trouble!"

Lu Hai gave a warning.

It’s not that Lu Haixin can’t afford to settle in cash, but the quantity was not well controlled at the beginning, and he didn’t have much cash on hand. If so many people paid in cash, it would definitely not be enough.

So they could only ask people from their own village to pay in cash, and they would sell the goods the next day and settle the accounts that evening.

Although some people may be unhappy at first and wait and see, once the first payment is settled, those people will probably feel relieved.

"Okay, Brother Hai, don't worry. We know about this. We only accept children during the day. If we find someone not working, picking snails or catching loaches, we will simply not accept them."

After all, Luo Yongfeng was the son of the village chief, so he immediately understood Lu Hai's concerns and spoke directly to the point.

Seeing that they all knew what was going on, Lu Hai felt relieved.

"Okay, then it's settled. Go back and see if you can use the village radio to announce it. Try to send me a batch in the evening."

"I have something else to do in the village, so I'll leave first."

Lu Hai reminded him again before leaving. After all, these things were no joke.

Especially when the stall is so big.

If it was the late 80s, the army and the navy would not have to worry about these things, after all, the policy had been issued and everyone was doing it.

But by then, money won't be as easy to make as it is now.

Therefore, Lu Hai must make some money before the policy is issued to pave the way for the policy to be issued.

And this is why Lu Hai is anxious...
