My 1978 Hotel

Chapter 28: 1978 Fortune Plan

He really came back. Li Muchen looked at the two brothers Gao Cheng and Gao Ju, who had come back obediently to eat steamed buns, and stared at the eldest brother.

"It's so fucking disgusting." Gao Cheng snorted after taking a bite of the steamed bun.

"Then why are you eating so happily?"

Gao rolled his eyes at his brother and said, "What a shame!"

"I'm hungry."

He has to eat even what pigs don't eat, Gao Cheng muttered. He doesn't want to eat meat, he doesn't want to eat good food, is there?

"Stop talking." Li Feng brought over a broken bowl.

"Left this for you two."

"Three slices of meat per person, no more."

"There's really some meat!" The two brothers Gao Cheng and Gao Ju were delighted.

"That's what we said: eat and drink well."

Li Feng said with a smile, "I don't engage in false advertising."

Gao Cheng, Gao Ju and even Li Muchen rolled their eyes and said, "You must be kidding me. None of your publicity is true."

"Let's have a good chat after we finish eating."

Li Feng planned to have a good talk with these three guys. Li Muchen was ill and needed to be treated. Li Feng had already thought of a treatment plan. He just needed to work hard and not have time to be depressed.

"What are you talking about?"

Gao Ju has now relaxed. Li Feng knows all their little troubles anyway, so he just lets them do what they want and works. He can't get away with it if he persists.

"Let me tell you about yourself. You are fighting against counterfeiting and targeting other people's travel agencies and tour groups. Don't you feel guilty?" Li Feng pulled a brick and sat down.

"Why should we feel guilty? You didn't engage in false propaganda. We can't fight you even if we want to." Gao ate a piece of meat and found it delicious.

"That's right. Besides, you think we like to fight against counterfeiting, and we are always worried and getting beaten."

Gao Cheng said everything when Gao Ju kicked him.

"Hahaha."

"Serves them right." Li Feng couldn't help but cheer when he thought of the two being chased and beaten.

"We have no choice. It's hard to find a job now. We also want to work hard to buy a house and get married, but the average annual salary is tens of thousands of yuan. For us, working for ten years is not enough to pay for the bride price, let alone buying a house." Gao Ju put down his chopsticks and sighed.

"From Xijiang?"

"No wonder."

Li Feng heard that the two brothers also had their own difficulties. The betrothal gift was 380,000 yuan, and it might take an ordinary salary ten years to come up with it.

"No."

The two of them felt quite sad when talking about this. Why is it so difficult to get married? The down payment for buying a house is hundreds of thousands, and the betrothal gift plus the wedding and other things are nearly fifty yuan. Just imagine what rural children’s parents do if they have no money. It’s all tears if they talk too much.

It's good enough that they haven't committed any crime. There are definitely some people who deliberately find fault in the anti-counterfeiting campaign, but it's not illegal at all. After all, you really don't live up to the hype.

"Come on, you guys are no good either."

Li Feng waved his hands when he saw the two men acting. He really thought he was easy to fool. Although these two brothers had some bottom line, they were not many. They really thought he was blind. Li Muchen on the side was stunned when he heard it. No wonder Boss Li had no good feelings towards these brothers. It turned out that these two people were here to expose Boss Li's lies.

"Eating for a living."

Gao was a little embarrassed. "We two brothers never ask for anything without any reason. Usually it's only three to five thousand."

"That's right. I haven't saved enough for the down payment after working for all these years. I'm already 30 years old, and I still don't have a wife." Gao Cheng still felt a little aggrieved. He went for foot baths and massages often, but he still kept talking about his wife's shortcomings all the time. Bah.

"Okay, okay, you're still feeling wronged." Li Feng didn't bother to listen to the explanation. "Hurry up and eat your meal. There's still a lot of work to do this afternoon."

"By the way, take it easy this afternoon. Don't work so foolishly. Learn from others."

"What are you learning? If you don't do it, you'll get beaten."

Gao Cheng rolled his eyes speechlessly. That was a real fight. His nose felt sore when he said this. It was really not easy for him. He was worried every day and doing high-risk counterfeiting work just to get married.

Now they have been beaten into the den of thieves and are now forced to do the hard labor they were doing more than forty years ago!

"Yes, and I started crying."

Well, not only Li Feng was at a loss for words, but even Li Muchen was speechless.

Gao Jue felt embarrassed and said quickly, "Brother, stop crying. I'll invite you to the Genting Club later. You've been wanting to go for a long time."

"Ninety-nine-eight, it's not cheap." Gao Cheng looked like a dog that was reluctant to part with the money.

"I'll treat you, okay?" Gao Jue sighed helplessly.

"That's okay." Gao Cheng thought it was okay when he heard it.

Phew, Li Muchen couldn't even maintain his aloofness anymore, they were really two brothers. Thinking about his own elder brother, although his elder sister often gave him money, he always felt like something was missing and was a little envious of these two brothers.

"Well, is there any meat left?"

Gao Cheng wiped his nose and tears and turned around to care about the issue of eating meat again.

"No, three pieces aren't enough. What family wouldn't know that?" Li Feng rolled his eyes. "That's the standard in developed countries."

Gao Cheng muttered that three slices were not enough to fill his teeth. What a rich man! Never mind, it's good to have something to eat. "Second brother."

"Eat, eat, eat."

Gao felt like he, the second son, was almost like the father. It was truly a sin to have such a big brother. "Boss Li, is what you just said on the road true?"

"I'll get paid for cheating you?" Li Feng replied, leaning back to get more comfortable. "So we're really in 1978 now?"

"Yeah, what a surprise, right?" Li Feng smiled at the three of them.

"Year 1978?"

Li Muchen’s eyes widened. You must be kidding.

"It was really 1978, that's when I got rich."

Gao slapped his thigh. "I remember that Maotai is only a few yuan now?"

"hehe."

"That's right, eight." Li Feng gestured to eight.

"Really? Then we'll be rich."

"Don't be happy too soon. Do you know how much you earn for a day's work?" Looking at the two brothers' money-hungry looks, Li Feng shook his head.

"How many?"

"Twenty-five cents." Li Feng thought to himself, "If only getting rich was that easy!" "Besides, if you bring Moutai back now, it's still new. How are you going to tell people about it?"

"That's true."

But their salary is too low, only 25 cents. How can we ever get rich? "Can't we find a job with a higher salary?"

"Do you have a city hukou?"

"Do you have a letter of introduction?"

"no."

Li Feng looked at the Gao Cheng brothers and Li Muchen and asked several questions. "These days, if you don't have a household registration or a letter of introduction, it's normal to be sent to a mine for forced labor."

"Isn't it reform and opening up?"

"The wind of reform and opening up will not reach here for three to five years." Li Feng still looked up some information.

The household contract responsibility system in the inland mountainous areas took 83, 84 years to complete.

"Then there's nothing you can do?"

Gao Cheng muttered to himself as he looked at his second son. Gao thought for a moment and slapped his thigh. "I have an idea."

"Tell me about it?" Li Feng became interested.

"Let's collect some silver dollars and antiques."

"You know this?" This surprised Li Feng, but he also doubted that someone like him could understand this. "This thing requires a keen eye."

"The second child has learned it, he can do this."

Gao Cheng was so happy when he heard this that he slapped his thigh. He had done this with his second son for a while.

"You really understand this?" Even Li Muchen was surprised.

"I understand a little bit. You should learn the field that can make money the fastest."

"Then how did you get involved in fighting counterfeits?" Not only Li Feng was curious, but Li Muchen was also quite curious.

"Alas, making money with silver dollars and the like is too slow these days."

Gao Jue said, "You don't know that almost 99% of the antiques on the market are fake. It's impossible to find a bargain. Forget about the fake silver coins. The market price of real ones is so high. We can't make much money from small purchases and sales."

"That's true."

Li Feng thought about it and realized that this was true. The future market had basically been defined, and those who worked in this industry were all knowledgeable people. The era when you could make a lot of money by relying on your eyesight was long gone.

"But this is 1978, and there aren't many people who know what's going on these days."

"If we do it well, we will definitely make a lot of money." Gao was quite excited when he thought about the wealth all over the ground.

"Don't be happy yet, where is the capital?" Li Feng didn't know how to make money. The problem was that he had no capital. Besides, speculation was a serious crime. He had a system and was not willing to take risks. Of course, now that he had the Gao brothers, he could give it a try.

If Gao wants to do something, he and Gao Cheng will give him half of the profit. He doesn't care about anything else. As for whether the Gao brothers are willing or not, that's a joke. He is the only one who can bring the items back to the modern era. If he only wants 50%, he is definitely a philanthropist.

"Yes, the capital."

After all, it was the 1970s. Gao Ju had no idea what the social environment was like at the time. If he had rushed in without knowing anything, he might have ended up with a bloody head.

"How about this? I'll go to the commune tomorrow to submit my manuscript," Li Feng said. "Let's see if I can find an excuse to go to the county and get a feel for the current situation before making any plans."

"Okay, let's do as you say." Gao nodded, saying it was safer this way.

"What do you mean by manuscript?"

Li Muchen was not very interested in making money, but was somewhat interested in Li Feng's manuscript.

Li Feng thought to himself that he was not waiting for them to ask, and boasted about it with great pride, and even took out the newly copied manuscript for them to appreciate.

“It’s really well written.”

Li Muchen was a little surprised. This guy was quite talented.

"It's not bad. I just wrote something casually and never thought that a newspaper would actually pick it up."

Li Feng acted as if he didn't expect himself to be so talented. There was nothing he could do but to disgust Gao Jue and Gao Cheng. How could this bastard be so lucky? He had a thing that could travel through time and space, and he was so damn talented.

God is so unfair, you evil God. Just wait until I get rich, then I will buy a truck full of thunder bombs and blow you to death.
