A doctor who travels through two eras

Chapter 33 Traffic Monetization First Step

The old silk man who was buying tea called Lin Sanqi:

"Comrade, I want to ask, do you have any tea in stock?"

Lin Sanqi had some guesses in his mind, and asked back: "Old sir, what do you mean by this..."

The old man stroked the tea bag and said sadly:
"I'm not happy with what you said. I've always loved tea, but I can't buy it at the supply and marketing cooperatives now, and it's hard to find it on the black market. I was lucky to meet you today. But I can't drink a pound of tea for long, and I have some old friends waiting to drink it.

Let me put it this way, if you still have tea leaves, can you sell me some more? The price is negotiable. I am so poor now that I only have money left. You don’t have to worry that I won’t pay for the things I buy.”

Lin Sanqi's heartbeat, which had just calmed down, started to speed up again. It was really a blessing to go out today.

"Well, well, I do have some tea, but it's a hassle to get it out, and the price is…"

The old man smiled instantly when he heard this. In fact, this was a process of mutual testing, and the result made him satisfied:
"The price is based on today's price. One pound of jasmine tea is 50 yuan. If you can also get West Lake Longjing, Anxi Tieguanyin, or Dongting Biluochun, the price is negotiable. As long as it's not too bad, I'll give you 100 yuan per pound. How about that?"

What else can I do? It's great.

Lin Sanqi was so excited that he didn't know what to say, his face flushed red. After all, he was still a young boy who had just graduated from school and didn't know how to hide his emotions.

As a result, the old man misunderstood and thought that Lin Sanqi could not produce it, so he comforted him:
"Comrade, I know these tea leaves are very valuable. Are you in trouble? It's okay if you are in trouble. Just think of it as my imagination."

Lin Sanqi realized that he couldn't let the important customer run away, so he nodded firmly:
"Yes, we have it. I have all the tea you can name. Just tell me the number and I'll figure out the rest."

The old man of silk was a little confused: "What does your family do? You are so powerful."

"Hey, I can't tell you what my family does, but my parents are in charge of the tea business, so it's not a big deal for me to take some money."

The old man gasped and thought to himself that the person before his eyes turned out to be a little god. In 59, tea was still under the management of the China Supply and Marketing Cooperative. This guy is quite wild.

But what he wanted was tea, no matter where it came from, so he prepared to open his mouth loudly:

"Comrade, I'm going to order now. How about you get me 20 kilograms of jasmine tea and 10 kilograms of Longjing tea? It should be above average quality. I don't need the best, but it can't be too bad either."

Lin Sanqi did some calculations in his head, and he got 2000 yuan in cash, which was equivalent to two hundred-year-old ginsengs. He was going to get rich.
But southerners are not so generous when doing business. They will definitely bargain. If you say it is too easy, the other party will lower the price when you do business next time.

"Old sir, to be honest, I can definitely get one or two kilograms of tea, but you offered 30 kilograms of tea at once. You know, under this year's environment, I'm afraid even the top bosses wouldn't dare to guarantee it.

So I have to bribe a lot of people to get so much tea..."

At this point, Lin Sanqi stole a glance at the old silk man, who nodded slightly, apparently thinking that the amount of tea was too much.

Seeing that the other party agreed, Lin Sanqi opened the price:

"So we do business for mutual benefit and win-win results. The price is up to you. Jasmine tea is 50 yuan, Longjing is 100 yuan, but I want to add an extra 100 kilograms of food coupons on top of the price. How about that?"

Lin Sanqi wanted to buy some breakfast in the morning, but almost failed to buy it because he didn't have food coupons. So he wanted to get some food coupons for self-defense.

Even if you don't use it yourself, it's the best gift to give to others. These days, food coupons are life.

When the old man heard that he needed food coupons, his face fell:
"Little comrade, it's not that I don't agree. If you want cash, we can discuss it. I really don't have the food coupons. The street has given us only so much quota. The five kilograms of food coupons I gave you are what I, an old man, saved with great difficulty."

The old man didn't lie either.

The social status of old capitalists and old industrialists is now at the bottom, and their future is in danger at any time. Now we give them dividends and money because we know that money without purchasing power is just a piece of waste paper, so we can give it out boldly without any worries.

But you said you want food stamps. Sorry, we don’t have any.

Ordinary citizens are issued with the same amount of food coupons per month as you remnants. Everyone is equal in the new society.

Therefore, the biggest buyers in the black market now come from these old capitalists and the remnants of the old guard. They are not short of money, but of supplies.

Lin Sanqi felt very sorry when he heard that he couldn't get food coupons, but this was not the main issue at the moment. Making money was the most important thing.

Who knew that the old man was afraid that Lin Sanqi would go back on his word, so he raised the price on his own initiative:

"Little comrade, let's do this. On top of the 2000 yuan we agreed on, I'll give you an extra 300 yuan. How about that? I'm showing my utmost sincerity."

Lin Sanqi also took advantage of the situation and said:
"Okay, the old man is straightforward, so I am straightforward too. How do we trade?"

The old man was delighted: "You tell me a place, and we'll meet in the city at 9 o'clock in the evening."

Lin Sanqi thought that this location couldn't be at home. He knew that he could run away from home, but he couldn't run away from home. He had to be outside, but also couldn't be too far away.

He was driving a truckload of tea on the road in the middle of the night and thought the security team were dead. He was exposed after a check.

"Then at 7pm, at the intersection of Di'anmen East Street and Beiheyan Street, there is a Huangchenggen Park. There are few people at night, so we will do the transaction here. What's your name, old man?"

"Fu Zuo!"

"Lin Shanqi!"

The two parties agreed on the transaction location and quickly dispersed. Lin Sanqi was so happy when he touched the money and tickets in his pocket. This was the most solid step towards traffic monetization.

Lin Sanqi picked up his nephews and nieces when the kindergarten was over.

Ever since they had a delicious meal in the morning, Lin Sanqi's status in the two children's hearts has skyrocketed, even surpassing their biological parents.

Seeing their uncle coming, the two little kids took the initiative to hold hands, and the three of them walked towards home, swinging their hands.

"Uncle, the sesame seed cakes you gave me today were so delicious that they made the kids in my class cry."

"Did you share it with your friends?"

"Yes, yes, I even got a piece for the teacher to eat, and the teacher praised me for being a good kid!"

"Okay, as long as it tastes good, I still have two sesame cakes left. Do you want some?"

"Yes~~~"

The kindergarten finishes school early, so when Lin Sanqi and his friends got home, the rest of the family had not yet returned home.

The Lin family is now divided, but the two children have no concept of separation. They still sit on the stools in the main room as before, eating sesame cakes happily.

Lin Sanqi opened the rice bucket...
