Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Under such circumstances, Chen Changan really couldn't think of who to sell this medicine to.

"Who did you sell the stolen drugs to? What was the price?"

"They are sold on the black market, where there are people who specialize in buying all kinds of drugs produced by pharmaceutical factories. The price of each drug is different.

For example, cold medicine costs 20 cents a box, pagoda candy costs 20 cents a bag. The most expensive is the quick-acting heart-saving pill, which costs 50 cents a bottle.

I can bring ten bottles of quick-acting heart-saving pills at a time, which costs five yuan. If I bring one bottle every day, the money I earn is much higher than my salary.”

After hearing his words, both Chen Changan and Section Chief Li were stunned.

Do you have too much money and have nowhere to spend it? If you have money, you should have told me earlier. Don't go to the black market. Come directly to the pharmaceutical factory and talk to Chen Changan.

In this era, with this price, Chen Changan would have to sell it to the other party and bankrupt them.

Again, this purchase price is higher than your pharmaceutical factory's ex-factory price.

If you say to buy some medicine, take it back to study it yourself, restore the formula, and then produce it yourself, Chen Changan can understand.

Since he couldn't understand, Chen Changan could only focus on the person in front of him.

"How many times did you bring medicines from the factory? How many different medicines were there? How much did you sell them for in total?"

"I don't even remember how many medicines I brought."

"Ok?"

When Chen Changan heard Yang Haidong say that he couldn't remember how many medicines he had, he immediately spoke up.

Yang Haidong was shocked. It was already this late and he had confessed everything. What else was there to hide?

I will definitely be fired, that's for sure, after all, I'm still a temporary worker.

Yang Haidong naively thought that as long as he returned the money from selling the drugs to the factory, the factory would at most fire him.

If he lost his job, the worst that could happen was that he would go home and continue farming. Yang Haidong would rather go home and farm for the rest of his life than be locked up for another day.

Yang Haidong had confessed everything he needed to confess. He felt that he was about to be released, and at this critical moment, he couldn't let Chen Changan misunderstand that he was hiding something.

He quickly said, "Really, what I said is true. Every time I take medicine from the factory, I take as much as I can when I have the chance.

At night, I would sell them directly on the black market. Every time I took out the drugs at the black market, I would count them. I would just calculate how much I was owed. As for how much I was taken from the factory, I really don’t remember.”

Chen Changan was also convinced. When you stole drugs from the factory, you didn't count the quantity. When you got to the black market, you paid for each box you took out. At this time, you didn't remember how many boxes there were, but you only remembered how much money others should give you?

"So how much did you make selling the drugs on the black market?"

This time Yang Haidong did not hesitate and said, "The total amount was 285 yuan."

Chen Changan nodded. Judging from the speed, it was most likely not a lie.

It's only 280 yuan. How long has the pharmaceutical factory been producing drugs? This is much more than the salary.

Chen Changan followed up by asking a few more questions, and would ask some of them again after a while.

Chen Changan even asked the amount of money three times, and Yang Haidong gave the same answer every time. Chen Changan was relieved.

Yang Haidong would just leave it at that for now. It was impossible for him to let him go. Such a huge amount of money was involved. Even if he returned the money, he would probably still not be able to escape a bullet.

Ask Section Chief Li to prepare some water and food for Yang Haidong. I don't know if I will have a chance to eat something good later. Anyway, I will eat whatever is available in the cafeteria.

People in ancient feudal society gave food before execution, so it is impossible for Chen Changan not to give it.

Then Chen Changan came to the second detention room, where the people who Chen Changan had stopped outside the factory gate after the mid-shift yesterday were detained.

Maybe it's because of his good physical fitness or strong willpower. He has been in the same posture as Yang Haidong for one night.

But he was very stubborn and would not say anything no matter what Chen Changan asked.

Chen Changan didn't care. Since he knew that someone in the black market was buying the drugs produced by pharmaceutical factories at high prices, the purpose of stealing the drugs must be to exchange them for money in the black market.

"Huang Weixing, right? Do you think that if you don't say anything, we won't know anything?"

"We basically have all the clues now. It doesn't matter whether you say it or not."

"Anyway, you stole things from the factory and were caught red-handed. There were so many people at the scene who saw it."

"Based on the black market prices, the drugs you stole are enough to get you shot."

Hearing that he was going to be shot, Huang Weixing finally reacted. He turned his head to look at Chen Changan and said sarcastically, "I did steal something, I admit it.

The worst that could happen is that the factory would fire me. At worst, I would just quit and go home to farm.

And you're still being shot? Who are you trying to scare?"

Chen Changan smiled and said, "Ignorance is terrible. To put it nicely, what you did is stealing.

In fact, the correct term is "embezzlement of state property". Who do you think the things you stole belonged to?

Everything in the entire pharmaceutical factory belongs to the state. Stealing things from the factory is equivalent to stealing things from the state.

Do you think it's the same as just picking up someone on the street and stealing his money?

I used to be the director of a honeycomb coal factory. Someone secretly took the honeycomb coal out and sold it.

It was only sold for twenty dollars. Do you know what his final fate was?"

Huang Weixing was still frightened by Chen Changan's words. After all, what Chen Changan said was indeed reasonable and well-founded.

Although Huang Weixing had never stolen anything on the street, what Chen Changan said did make sense.

Stealing private property and stealing national property are indeed not the same thing.

Seeing Chen Changan using the example of twenty yuan, he already had a guess in his mind.

But he still couldn't help but asked tremblingly, "What, what's the ending?"

Seeing Huang Weixing's expression, Chen Changan smiled even more happily. He said, "Life sentence, you have to work on the farm for the rest of your life."

Chen Changan knew that even if it was a so-called life sentence, if he behaved well, he would still have a chance to get out after ten or twenty years.

But at this time, Huang Weixing showed a clearly frightened expression. Of course, Chen Changan wanted to exaggerate the situation.

After all, many people think that life imprisonment means staying in prison for life. And there are many such people.

I heard that stealing 20 yuan would result in life imprisonment. The money I made from selling the stolen medicine was more than 20 yuan. Was I afraid that I would be executed?

At this time, Huang Weixing no longer had the courage he had before. He couldn't die!

If I die, what will happen to my sick mother? I am almost 30 years old, and I cannot find a wife because my family is poor.

Isn't it just to secretly sell medicine to make money, so that he can treat his old mother and then get married to make her happy?

Originally, Huang Weixing thought he was just stealing some medicine, and even if he was caught, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

As long as I am a little tougher, what can the factory do to me?

Fire him? Just fire him. Anyway, he has earned the money. It would be better to take the money home and marry a wife.

He never expected that he would be shot just for stealing some medicines?

If I had known this would be the outcome, I would have run away on the spot when I was stopped by Chen Changan.

Even if he had a motorcycle, he could run into an alley, although the chances of getting away would still be slim. But it would be much better than being shot now, right?
