Rebirth 1990: The beginning is sweet and cool Bai Yueguang

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's blood boiled.

The most excited person was Cao Qinquan, who said on the spot: "Brother Qi, I will do it with you, and I will have enough cotton at home!"

"Don't be anxious." Zhou Qi waved his hand and said, "Calm down first. I only have about ten thousand yuan left this time. I have invested most of the money I received before. If you want to do it, you have to pay for it yourself. I can't give you cash now."

"That's why I didn't say it before."

"When it comes to money, you never know. Someone might grumble, afraid that I'll run away with a load of cotton. If you trust me, we can get rich together. If you don't, just treat it as a joke and have fun."

"Although our county is a major cotton producer, the output is not unlimited. If you harvest more, I will naturally harvest less. I have to share some of the profit of 2 cents per pound."

Once these words were spoken, it was like bait to catch a big fish.

It was obvious that he was deliberately trying to stir the hearts of those present.

As for the price, Zhou Qi finalized it after careful consideration and market research.

It is definitely a conscientious price.

Anyone who knows a little about the market will feel itchy after hearing this price.

Besides, he would not have any trouble selling the cotton after it was harvested. Three cents a pound was considered a high price here, but in the hot places in the north, it was practically free. He was confident that he could definitely clear out the stock.

When it comes to advance payment, everyone does have some concerns.

But when they heard that they could earn 20 cents per pound, everyone became restless again.

This opportunity is rare in a thousand years. If you miss it, you will never have it again.

It’s better to try it out than to regret it if it fails.

"Brother Qi, I'll toast to you. I'm determined to do this!" Cao Qinquan raised his glass.

Zhou Qi smiled and reached out to touch it.

He knew why Cao Qinquan was so concerned. One of the reasons was that cotton was difficult to sell. His father was the deputy village chief and a practical man. If this matter was accomplished, it would be of real benefit to the villagers.

"Brother Qi, let's not talk about anything else. You're so nice. I'll join you!" Zhang Gongzheng followed closely behind.

"There is no problem with advance payment, but when can we get our money back?" Ma Defu raised the key question.

This question hits the nail on the head.

Everyone's attention was focused on Zhou Qi again.

"My big brother and I exchange money and goods at the same time. The rules have been set long ago and there won't be any problems," Zhou Qi explained.

"Nothing is absolute in this world. What if something goes wrong? What will we do with the money?" Ma Defu asked.

"So I asked you to think about it carefully. But my big brother threw me some money before he left. Just for that, this is reliable." Zhou Qi waved his hand and said impatiently, "I still say that. If you have any doubts, just pretend I didn't mention it. It's normal if you don't believe me. Who made me unreliable in the past?"

Ma Defu saw that Zhou Qi was a little impatient, but he said nonchalantly: "Also, who is your big brother? He is so capable, why haven't we heard of him? If he is an outsider, why is he detained here?"

Who says people are easy to fool these days?

It would be a shame if this guy didn't become a detective. He's so slow in doing business. It's not like he's checking household registration!

Zhou Qi grumbled in his heart, but if he wanted to get things done, he really couldn't do without these few people.

After all, the money he had on hand was not enough to buy so much cotton.

You have to get these people involved and use their money and connections to get something for nothing.

"That elder brother is my trump card for making a fortune. I risked my life to get it. Even if it's you guys, I can't easily reveal it." Zhou Qi confessed: "Think about it, will that elder brother play tricks on me for a few truckloads of cotton cloth? Or does he think I will abandon my old father and run away with your goods?"

Several people looked nervous.

Although they had not experienced it themselves, they had heard about the storms there.

When these words were spoken, it was obvious that they were friends for life and death.

If you think about it carefully, if it weren't for this kind of friendship, how could Zhou Qi have left so much money? Without the support of that big brother, Zhou Qi wouldn't have been able to become so successful so quickly.

Besides, Zhou Qi has an old father already, so why would he run away just for some cotton cloth?

It’s not cost-effective!

Zhou Qi secretly observed the reactions of several people.

He had said what needed to be said, and the atmosphere was about right. He picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. Then he slammed the glass on the table, his expression gloomy, and said, "I've paid the bill. You guys continue drinking. I have something to do and I'll leave first."

"Brother Qi, why are you in such a hurry? Just have two more drinks." Zhang Gongzheng tried to persuade him to stay.

"It's really urgent. Big brother is pressing me. I have to go and make some arrangements. We'll get together another day." Zhou Qi said as he stood up.

"Brother Qi, Brother Qi, how can I let you spend money? I'll do it, I'll do it." Zhang Gong grabbed Zhou Qi who was about to pay the bill, put his hand on his shoulder and walked out, whispering: "Master Ma is like that, you know it, there's no need to be angry. We have to do business, at least I trust you, Brother Qi."

He was afraid that Zhou Qi would get angry and stop playing with him, so he kept flattering him.

A moment later, Zhang Gongzheng returned alone with a smile on his face.

Ma Defu asked: "So, are you really planning to join?"

"Why not join?" Zhang Gongzheng replied.

"Well, I'll leave first. I have to go home and discuss it with my dad." Cao Qinquan scratched his head honestly and left in a hurry.

"What about you?" Ma Defu turned to Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan shrugged: "I am not like you. I have limited capital. Let me see what you do first."

At this time, Zhang Gongzheng slapped his forehead and said, "Qinquan looks simple, but he is actually smart. I have to go back and discuss this with my dad. You guys eat first."

After that, he turned around and left.

Ma Defu is still hesitating whether to join.

Liu Yuan was absent-minded. Seeing that only he and Ma Defu were left, he glanced at the table full of dishes and said casually, "Oh, I remembered that I have to go to my brother's place."

As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared.

Ma Defu was about to take a step when the boss called out to him, "Hey buddy, your table's bill hasn't been settled yet."

Ma Defu's face fell, and he felt bitter. He usually ate and drank for free, but this time he had to pay for it himself.

Zhou Qi walked and pondered, wandering towards the scrap yard. Overall, today's dinner was quite successful. At least, it was a foregone conclusion that Cao Qinquan and Zhang Gongzheng had taken the bait.

As for Ma Defu, he was a typical person who would not release the eagle until he saw the rabbit. As long as Cao and Zhang took action, there was no fear that Ma Defu would not follow suit. Things were progressing step by step as planned. Next, it would depend on how much goods could be collected and where to sell them.

This time, they collected more than 600 kilograms of cables, much more than last time. They worked until sunset before they finished dismantling them all. This batch of goods had a large proportion of red copper, almost half of the total. After calculating the accounts, they made a net profit of 1,500 yuan, and Huo Zhuzi paid the money on the spot. With a bulging bag of money in his pocket, Zhou Qi ran straight home.

After removing the cables for an entire afternoon, he was so tired that his bones were about to fall apart. At this moment, he just wanted to collapse on the bed and rest. But as soon as he stepped into the house, the aroma of food suddenly penetrated his nose.

I basically didn't eat lunch. I was just busy chatting with everyone. My stomach is already rumbling now.
