My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 10: Stupidity is a blessing
Goudan didn't even know that Weidong had put a towel blanket and a military raincoat in the bag.

In this summer at the end of June, people can sleep outdoors under the tent.

I spread a rubber-lined raincoat on the ground, rolled up a waterproof-lined backpack with clothes in it and used it as a pillow, then wrapped myself in a towel and slept soundly.

Especially in the morning, waking up at 6:30 listening to the same radio that has been broadcast for decades.

It felt like Weidong had had a super wonderful dream. When he woke up and looked at his hands, he laughed out loud.

But after squatting there for two days and watching Wanshang Trading Company's TV for two days, he only saw the richest man chatting with all kinds of people. At night, Rang Weidong returned to the corner of the second floor of the construction site and waited for two days, but he never waited for that figure.

He was a little confused. Could it be that this detail in this life was different from the last time?
There is no time to waste, so I had to get up early and go back home.

But after arriving at the county town, he did not take a ride but went straight back along the mountain road, specifically collecting bacon along the 20 or 30 miles.

But we could still collect some in the front, and we noticed the signs when we were about to reach the village.

First, farmers far away said that a girl from Lijiaopo had come to collect the bacon in the past two days.

He only collected thirty kilograms on his way back.

Then those who knew you would directly tease you: "Your young wife just got married, and you're here again?"

The worst part was that when he walked into the village, every household joked about the towels and T-shirts he had given away: "Your wife is really watching her closely. We only got one towel and one T-shirt for our family of six, and Chen Laosan's family of two got this many."

"Yes, Dongwazi, you should hurry up and ask for marriage from the Li family. Old man Li has already gone to see your homestead."

"I heard from Goudan that Lao Rang had a major operation and is back to normal?"

"Old Man Li is planning to open up two more acres of land. Having a son-in-law will provide more labor for the family."

"It's alright, I'll help Dong Wazi go to Lijiashuang to help with the busy farming season!"

Seeing Goudan jump out to take on the farm work, Weidong wanted to kick him away.

When I asked about it, I found out that this bastard came back and handed all the money, clothes and towels to Erfeng, saying that it was only natural to give them to Dongwazi's wife.

Erfeng became more and more aggressive in collecting bacon, and even controlled the giving of gifts to others as a token of thanks!

Weidong was dismissive: "I don't want to do any double-grabbing. I will just do some small business in the future. I don't care about those crooked ideas of old man Li!"

Erfeng's family gave birth to four daughters!
If family planning had not been implemented in the 1970s, her family would have continued to give birth to a son.

Therefore, the Li family had to look for a son-in-law who was a strong farmer. If the two strong laborers in the family became disabled and imprisoned, they would of course give up and buy a new sedan chair.

Let Weidong remember it in his heart.

But when I got home, those baskets of bacon smelled so good!
A real fragrance in the physical sense.

The bacon produced in the mountains here is so popular because it uses a kind of locally produced green bark charcoal. The wood is particularly fine and the charcoal aroma it produces when smoked is very unique. Even though the smoking techniques may vary from one family to another, the flavor of the green bark charcoal is very obvious.

Let Weidong talk to Erfeng: "The bacon is very good. I'll give you one yuan and fifty cents per pound, and you can go back and tell the villagers one yuan. All the profits are yours. There's no need to mention marriage. We've never formally mentioned this. It seems like a joke between the elders when we were in junior high school."

Erfeng was shocked at first, and saw Weidong weighing the more than 100 kilograms of bacon and counting out more than 200 kilograms for her!
Then, upon hearing the marriage denial, her eyes widened: "Why! What have I done wrong? You all know I'm going to marry into your family, and you're telling me now that there's no need to mention it?"

The farm girl is not that delicate, but tears still flowed out, how embarrassing!

Let Weidong speak frankly: "I am lucky that I didn't get my tail cut off when I went out to sell bacon. If I took the risk, I would have been caught and imprisoned at any time. If my father's paralysis could not be cured, would your family still want this marriage?"

Er Feng gritted her teeth and said, "Marry a chicken and follow the chicken. Your home is a hellhole, and I will also suffer with you."

Weidong was a straight man, not moved at all. "Your father wouldn't let you jump into the fire pit, otherwise your family wouldn't have enough laborers during the busy harvest season. I won't treat you unfairly. I'll take all the bacon you can get, and I won't blame you if you get caught. I pay Goudan wages, but you're supplying me with goods. You'll earn hundreds or thousands of dollars in dowry and everyone will be vying for it."

After saying that, he put the money on Li's table and left.

Erfeng's mother had just brought the hot water when she saw the young man striding out and couldn't stop him even if she called him.

So he turned around and asked Weidong to give Goudan a good beating. He left 600 yuan and hid it behind the main hall. He immediately took the bacon in a backpack and went to the provincial capital.

On the way, Weidong thought about selling it directly to Wanshang Trading Company, which would also be a way to establish a relationship with the richest man and have business dealings with him.

But think about whether this will directly cut off your business.

We need to let the other party know that there is such a big price difference business right next to them. With so many people on the other side, they can probably easily handle the purchase of bacon from all the surrounding counties and towns.

At least he had been watching at Wanshang Trading Company for so long and didn't find anyone selling this thing.

There are very few goods like bacon, which is not uncommon in the countryside but can be sold at several times the price in the provincial capital, and it is so popular that it can be sold everywhere.

If Weidong had not heard about the case in the tax compound, he would never have thought of this unique way to make money.

It's more profitable than selling chickens, ducks, fish and sheep. This time, I'm familiar with the process.

The two young men carrying backpacks took a "high-end" river boat and avoided petty theft and security checks.

Weidong also discovered that choosing a direct ship that only stops at two or three ports is faster and requires fewer inspections, but the ticket price is the same.

It was just after seven in the morning when he arrived. He didn't even go into the city. Instead, he followed the directions given by the canteen purchaser and immediately took the ferry across the river to the densely packed factory area on the other side.

Sure enough, it was easily broken into pieces of 20 to 30 kilograms and sold to the canteens of factories and mines.

The factory here is much larger than the street factory where he first sold goods.

The printing and dyeing factories, cotton spinning mills, cigarette factories, printing factories, silk factories, and machinery factories are all next to each other.

Moreover, they are all large state-owned factories with family quarters, hospitals, and even schools and kindergartens, and there are definitely more than a thousand people.

There are also shops, barber shops and bathhouses in the factory area.

These days there are often no security guards at the factory gates, so anyone can enter.

The advantage of bringing Goudan with you is that you can just find a corner of the bushes and two meat buns to make him stay there motionless with a lot of bacon.

Let Weidong only take a little with him to trade.

Even if he was stumped by the security department, he could still produce a medical certificate and say that he was just selling a little to pay for medical expenses, and that someone from a certain factory had suggested that he bring it to sell.

Since the amount is not large, this matter will obviously not be taken seriously.

As a result, after going in and out of several factories to sell things, Weidong took away a thousand yuan in warm cash and dozens of kilograms of food coupons, and took the opportunity to stroll around the shops in other people's factory areas.

This type of store is generally called a convenience store or a labor service company. The former sells daily necessities, while the latter is related to the products of this factory and is super cheap!
For example, the floral fabrics from the printing and dyeing factories, and the bed sheets, quilt covers and clothes from the textile factories are all sold openly.

Especially the silk factories have silk floss quilt cores, which are different from the cotton cores used in ordinary households. Pure silk quilt cores are considered high-end products.

In the past, few people in the tax compound could afford it, but its warmth-keeping effect in winter is comparable to that of a duck down quilt!
It's like a stove wrapped around my body.

But a silk velvet quilt core that costs forty yuan is equivalent to a city doctor's monthly salary. If converted to thirty or forty years later, it would be very expensive for a doctor to buy such a quilt with a monthly salary.

It’s definitely a luxury item!

But this is just the factory price.

Weidong blinked desperately, feeling as if he had fallen into Alibaba's treasure cave.

As for the floral fabrics that cost a few cents per meter and the bed sheets and quilt covers that cost a few dollars, they are even cheaper and are piled up in various labor service companies with no one interested in them.

During the planned economy era, these factories did not have their own sales channels. Apart from the unified purchasing and sales by their superiors, the more they produced, the more crowded the warehouses became, and they did not know how to sell their products.

Even though there were calls for reform and opening up every day in the 1980s, manufacturers would only send salesmen out to look for buyers like headless flies.

It all depends on whether it can coincide with the market demand which is also in a state of confusion.

In the era before the Internet, all information would not be displayed just by searching.

Even in such a big city, few workers coming and going would think of selling their goods for the difference.

In this era of state-owned enterprise, where the state takes care of everything for the vast majority of people, they are too lazy to think about this.

So let Weidong also learn the routine of the richest man and buy a little bit of everything.

Of course, he bought a pack of cigarettes from the cigarette factory for his father and had no intention of doing business. This thing even has separate taxes, so don't mess with it.

Anyway, up to this moment, he still didn't realize that many of his cognitions had surpassed everyone else.

He stuffed the silk cotton into Goudan's backpack and packed a few meters of printed and dyed cloth, bed sheets and quilt covers himself.

I returned to the wholesale market to check and compare, and indeed, I found that just across the river, those printed and dyed fabrics were a few cents more expensive, and the silk quilts were nearly fifty yuan...

Well, even with Rang Weidong's thinking, he found that the profit margin of this luxury product is not very good.

It would be better to sell bacon.

Therefore, Weidong, who was not very smart, did not use these manufacturers' goods to contact Wanshang Trading Company as a token of his allegiance.

But it just narrowly avoided the following disaster.

　Please collect and recommend, the investment will definitely be profitable
