The Red Era: Starting from a Truck Driver

Chapter 319 Hate Begging

Two thermoses can be exchanged for a motorcycle, ten tons of meat can be exchanged for an airplane, South Korea spent 47 million to buy two aircraft carriers, and a can of meat can be exchanged for an AK.

This is the current situation of Big Brother's country. Its military and industrial capabilities are extremely strong. But without civilian supplies, an adult man can only get a piece of bread weighing 500 grams a day, which is one catty. Adult women only get half a catty, and the elderly and children only get 150 grams.

This is also an opportunity to make a fortune. If Jiang Cheng had not made a fortune in the island country, he would definitely go there to exchange for a large number of industrial products, as well as civilian aircraft and military helicopters.

If a man goes there, bring some canned food. There are blonde beauties there, and they are exotic.

But now, Jiang Cheng personally would not go to Big Brother's side because the climate there is bad and a bit unsafe.

Jiang Cheng can go there and use his spatial ability to buy a lot of things, but if he directly contacts the trading company, he will just have to pay a large amount of transportation fees.

Hire a team to buy it, and it will only cost a little more money.

Jiang Cheng is only interested in some of Big Brother's things now, and has no intention of picking up bargains and making a profit from the price difference.

Others worked hard to trade a few planes, but only earned tens of millions. This amount of money was not even as much as the interest on Jiang Cheng's assets in the bank.

Many of the richest people in real estate in later generations talk about how much assets they have, but those are assets, not cash flow. If there is any problem, they will still go bankrupt.

But after Jiang Cheng evacuated from the island country, he had a huge cash flow. Even if his business could not continue to operate, it would not affect his total wealth.

He runs real businesses and cash flow businesses. He does not rent any sites, but buys and builds them all himself.

For example, Jiang Cheng spent his own money to build the hotel. Even if the hotel has no business, he can just pay the workers' wages and leave the hotel closed for a year without any additional expenses or losses.

Jiang Cheng felt that as long as his descendants did not invest recklessly, his wealth would remain unchanged, and no one would be able to shake his position as the richest man.

Jiang Cheng is now in a state where he has too much money to even want to earn it. Just like what Wang said in later generations, if you want to invest less than a certain amount, don't talk to him.

As for a small goal or something, Jiang Cheng would not bother with it unless he was interested in a certain project industry and was asked to simply earn a small goal.

Because Jiang Cheng withdrew from the economic bubble of the island country early, after the new year, Jiang Cheng still went to Hong Kong to pay attention to the situation in the island country.

The economic bubble has not burst yet, it's crazy. If he hadn't withdrawn, he would basically have a few more small goals every day when he woke up.

You have to know that this was a small goal in the late 1980s, and now a person with a monthly income of 10,000 yuan is still no worse than a person with a monthly income of 1 million yuan in the future.

Old Li from Hong Kong has been left behind by Jiang Cheng. The economic bubble of the island country has allowed Jiang Cheng's wealth to increase dozens of times.

The key is that Jiang Cheng knew that this was an economic bubble and that it would go through a crazy process, so he dared to take out more than 80% of the cash flow to take a gamble.

If it were Lao Li, he would not dare to go crazy in the island country. In 1987, due to the stock market crash "Black Monday", he also lost dozens of small goals.

This time, Jiang Cheng is completely betting small on big risks, and only an economic disaster in the form of a country can withstand his size.

Other businesses would always claim that their market share was tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. Now Jiang Chengdu didn't even look at them, because even if he took the entire market share, it might not be as much as the interest he earned from his bank deposits in a year.

Now, there are only projects worth tens of billions to play with. Projects worth hundreds of billions can be spent on some experience. There may be trillions of dollars in the future, but Jiang Cheng can't think of them in his memory. If he can't think of them, he won't touch them.

Mineral water and bottled water may be a trillion-level long-term market project, and Jiang Cheng is already planning it.

So for some of the things from Big Brother, Jiang Cheng could send someone to get some for himself to play with, but he didn't want to spend the energy to do it himself.

Jiang Cheng thought it would be better to spend more time with his children. He has children in all three places, and the only one he spends less time with is Zheng Ke, because Jiang Cheng doesn't even manage things there, but prefers to enjoy the life of a rich man in Hong Kong.

In China, Jiang Cheng likes to enjoy family happiness with his children and Zhou Lingying in Changcheng, so he spends the least time with Zheng Ke and his daughter Zheng Shuang.

Now Jiang Cheng would handle some official business in Hong Kong, and the rest of the time he would go out to play. His women all thought he was busy with his career.

Jiang Cheng went to Hong Kong after the Chinese New Year. When he came back from Hong Kong, Jiang Juan's work was almost handed over. Xu Kai also handed over the contract to his elder brother.

Jiang Lin and Jiang Yang are also ready to follow their sister and brother-in-law to get rich. Some people may not be that good, but as long as they like money, it's fine.

There are many second-rate people and hooligans. You keep persuading them to stop being lazy and be serious. They may not listen to you and even think you are annoying. But if you say you will take them out to make a fortune, make a lot of money, and they are not active, then it is really useless.

Because many bad habits also need money to support them. If you get rich, you can find prostitutes, support others, and have money for gambling. It's so nice to have money to eat, drink, and have fun.

Jiang Lin had never worked in a canteen, but he and his brother got a share of the profits. Even if he was asked to collect plates in the canteen every day, as long as he was paid tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan a year, he would be able to work very hard every day.

Jiang Yan had settled down and moved to the soy sauce factory with her family. She could also bring Jiang Cheng to visit and go out for a walk with Zhou Lingying.

It is also worth mentioning that the neighbor who lived in the same row as Zhu Lan in the backyard retired and sold the house to Jiang Cheng as agreed. Zhou Lingying gave Wang Yuzhen another 100 yuan in exchange.

In fact, the houses are the same size. I gave him a hundred dollars mainly because I didn’t want to owe him a favor. Besides, it would take a whole day to move things even if the distance between the front and back yards is only.

As a result, the row of houses on the left side of the front yard all belonged to Jiang Cheng. Jiang Cheng let Jiang Zhaozhao and Panpan live in the newly vacated rooms.

Jiang Zhaozhao will be a senior in the second half of this year and will have to take the college entrance exam next year. Jiang Panpan will also be a high school student after this year, but Jiang Panpan's academic performance is a bit biased.

With Jiang Panpan's academic performance, her current academic imbalance is not too serious. But if it continues like this, it will generally be more serious when she reaches high school.

There are not as many universities now as in later generations. Since she cannot get into a good university, Jiang Cheng plans to cultivate Jiang Panpan according to her interests and hobbies. It is also okay to go to a junior college, or graduate from high school. As for academic qualifications, you can donate some money to a certain school and get a formal diploma. The key is that if she doesn't study anymore, she has to do something. Even if she really wants to rely on her parents and stay with Jiang Cheng honestly, Jiang Cheng doesn't care.

Now Jiang Zhaozhao is a little taller than her mother Zhou Lingying, but she is not growing much anymore and she is not eating as much as she did two years ago. But the third child Jiang Niannian also entered the growth stage more than a year ago, and the fourth child Jiang Sisi will soon be there too. Anyway, there will be no shortage of food companions in the family for at least a few years.

Now Jiang Cheng could only kiss and hug the sixth daughter Jiang Mengmeng whenever he wanted. As for the other daughters, he could only hope that they would take the initiative. If they took the initiative to hug Jiang Cheng and kiss him, he could do so, but it was impossible for Jiang Cheng to take the initiative to hug and kiss the daughters who were this old.

Even after a few years, I still have to see other men hugging and kissing my daughter. There are some things that I can't think about. If I think about them, I want to find a yellow-haired guy to beat him up.

But there was no yellow hair in this era. Instead, it was popular to cover the eyes with hair, and then blow air from the mouth to blow up the hair covering the eyes, which was considered cool.

In addition, there were some fashionable men and women who carried a tape recorder and organized some people to dance disco and breakdance.

Jiang Cheng doesn't like this kind of showy man, and he doesn't want his daughter to find such a man when she grows up.

When it comes to love, Jiang Cheng still likes Jiang Fei and Jiang Yue. This rich lady is well-informed and will never fall in love with a poor boy like in the skit.

The circles are different, and the education they receive is indeed different. It's not that there are no excellent people among the poor, but the probability of them appearing is extremely low. The ordinary excellent people are simply not valued by the rich.

There are cases where men and women can cross classes through relationships, but there are very few men who want to cross several classes at once through marriage. Women also have to be excellent and good-looking to have a chance to marry into a wealthy family.

Jiang Fei was only fifteen years old. In Hong Kong, it was not called dating, it was called dating. She did not shy away from her father Jiang Cheng at all, saying that it was okay for someone to date her, but she listed a lot of requirements.

Jiang Cheng looked at the many demands she made and thought that he didn't teach her anything. At least even in an aristocratic high school, it would be difficult for boys of the same age to achieve them.

For example, even if Jiang Fei wanted to own a luxury car, she had to wait until she was sixteen years old and got a driver's license before Jiang Cheng would buy one for her, and he would also restrict her from driving recklessly.

Boys of her age, how can there be a prince charming at this age. Grace and wealth are something you can only have when you reach a certain age, even if it is inherited from your family.

Just like Jiang Fei, she doesn’t understand what the true charm of a woman is now.

This time Jiang Cheng accompanied Jiang Juan and the others to Shenzhen by car. He wanted to stop by the reclamation farm to find Secretary Hou. The former logistics director of the reclamation farm is now the secretary of the reclamation farm.

The farm has been formalized, and it is not easy to go to Xiangjiang now. But as one of the suppliers of Jiangdonglai, a symposium is held in Xiangjiang every year.

We asked suppliers to go to Hong Kong to attend the forum and be entertained by the hotel to see if they can participate in the subsequent planning and development. Currently, there are only more than 20 shopping malls and supermarkets in China, and we are preparing to start building 30 more this year.

It’s not that Jiang Cheng doesn’t want to build more, but the economic level of some cities is still too backward, and there is no need to build too early.

There is no large supermarket in foreign countries nowadays, which shows that the overall consumption level in the country has not yet risen.

Sometimes investment is not just about whether you can make money, but also about how much you can make. Now, except for the land in big cities where it is starting to become slightly valuable, the land in most cities is still worthless.

So whether you invest in a big city or a city with a poor economy, the cost is actually similar. You can invest millions, but in some cities, if you only make a few hundred thousand after deducting expenses, it will be meaningless. There is even no need to rush to open a business in some cities with a bad investment environment.

To be honest, if Jiang Cheng hadn't asked Lao Li to take care of him, the people in Changcheng would not be very civilized and well-mannered.

There are a lot of second-rate people in Changcheng. The worse the economy of a city, the more idle people there are.

In Changcheng, and the counties below it, there are often ruffians with names like "Four Heavenly Kings" and "Eighteen Arhats".

There are many hooligans in the city.
Now in some cities in Anhui and Hunan, Jiang Cheng has no plan to start "Jiangdonglai" for the time being.

Especially in Anhui, something that Jiangcheng had only heard of rumors in later generations finally happened.

Jiang Cheng travels to many cities, but he visits Shenzhen frequently. But he also goes to Shanghai and Nanjing once or twice a year, and he might visit Beijing.

But now you can see beggars from that province everywhere, they are all older, but not too old, with hands and feet, deliberately dressed in shabby clothes, holding a bowl and going from house to house to beg for money.

It is actually not that bad now, after all, some people are just trying to get rich by deceiving people's kindness. But according to the development of history, child trafficking is coming soon, because people see that begging for food makes money too quickly and easily.

Jiang Cheng didn't know what rate of return would make people take such a risk, but he abducted children and broke their legs or something. It was also easy to get money from disabled children and win everyone's sympathy.

So Jiang Cheng was disgusted when he saw these beggars, those who started begging in their 40s and 50s. Because people of this age, especially those in the countryside, look old, and at most they can only cheat a little money.

But it was because of these people that they made money and went home to build houses and marry their sons. No one in the family worked anymore, so they had to rely on their parents for food.

Many people were jealous, seeing how quickly begging could earn money, so why would they plant crops or find a job? Especially when they saw people taking their children out to beg for money, because there were many children with polio in that era, they might have really taken their own children out to beg at first.

But some people with evil intentions saw this and although they couldn't bear to harm their own children, they were very cruel to other people's children.

In later generations, it was during this era that children were taken away by bad people and hated their parents for not taking good care of them. Because this was not abduction and sale to others for adoption, it was crippling and inhuman treatment.

If it's just because someone doesn't have children and wants to adopt one, at least the child won't have such a miserable life.

So when Jiang Cheng sees beggars now, unless they are old and have few teeth and cannot walk robustly, he will not only not give them a penny, but also feel disgusted when he sees them.

He also instructed his children not to give a penny to beggars who could walk normally.
