My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 28: Secret Dance
But Weidong himself did not expect that his most glorious moment since the 1980s would actually be on this freighter.

Just like a private car, he parked the truck in the parking lot next to the freight department at the terminal. There was no concept of parking fee at that time. He could park it anywhere and was promised to keep an eye on the car for him.

Rang Weidong, who carried the backpack on board, brought with him only a few sets of clothes and a pack of Shancheng cigarettes.

When I woke up, I found myself in a noisy cabin and sailing on the river.

It’s not that the ship’s engine is that noisy, but that a group of cargo owners, after a brief period of acquaintance, have already begun to skillfully set up their positions to play poker.

The high school graduate pretended to be proactive and read some Russian books outside. His mother-in-law always emphasized the importance of early reading, and he had become a conditioned reflex.

As a result, within ten minutes, he made the excuse that the wind was too strong and it was too cold, and quietly stood beside the crowd to watch the card game.

Studying is not as fun as playing cards.

Despite the high pressure and the possibility of being reported at any time, people did not gamble, but they did get hurt. They used cigarettes as stakes, and the exchange rate was 1:5 or 1:10 depending on the brand.

After watching for a few minutes, someone next to him started to get itchy: "Let's play another round. I have some cards. Let's play a few more. We're just one kill short."

Rang Weidong had already rolled up the book and thrown it away: "Three people can play it. We have a way to play Landlord. It's very simple and more fun than upgrading the tractor."

Sure enough, it only took one or two games to successfully attract a bunch of onlookers. In the end, even those who played tractor games crowded around and watched the card-drawing and calculations with great interest.

The key is that this guy’s card skills are amazing!
Regardless of whether he is the landlord or not, when the game ends and there are only four or five cards left between the two teams, he can accurately calculate what cards the other two teams have.

Weidong also had a bad habit. Whenever the other players started to hesitate and calculate during the last few cards, he would show off his cards: "You can't win. If you play like this, I'll play this, and then this, and then this, and then you'll definitely lose. Here, shuffle the cards..."

The loser can only hand over the cigarette in silence!

Perhaps this is the only strength that the old man has honed during his long career as a security guard.

There are so many overworked night shifts, and this is the only hobby I have after being single for forty years.

He even made a pair of rubber chopsticks, which he could skillfully use to hold the cards inside, hold them with his left armpit and elbow, and deal the cards skillfully with his right thumb.

Then when there is no card game, I play for hours on my phone.

Almost all my intelligence is spent on this, and I just ask myself whether the technology is superb or not.

He has the intelligence to get into college, but due to his physical disability, he can still feel superior in this aspect.

So I instinctively put more energy into it.

Now it is simply amazing and amazing!

The various expressions of surprise such as "wo ri", "fuck", and "wei jin" in various dialects around him further contributed to Wei Dong's forgetfulness.

He made a lot of money in the past six months but had to hide it, which was actually a bit depressing.

Suddenly, he let out a cry: "Who's coming? If you beat me, this Baoshan City will be his. You don't have to lose anything. Come on, brother, light up your cigarette and come again!"

With money in pocket, he doesn't care about winning or losing. He is so wild and generous that it's rare. He is so excited.

The playing style was simple, yet the calculations were endless, so Wei Dong didn't even hide his choice of playing with the cards, and a large group of people stood behind him and watched with great interest.

Some people also go to the nearby group to practice, and when they feel they have some basic skills, they come over to challenge.

Anyway, you don’t lose anything, and you’ll get cigarettes if you win.

The entire cabin was suddenly filled with a passionate atmosphere of learning and competing with each other.

Even the sailors who were not on duty, the first and second mates came to look curiously with their necks stretched out.

Moreover, Weidong was not stingy. He had won a bunch of cigarettes before, and he returned them to others. He also opened his pack of Shancheng cigarettes, which had a ten-to-one ratio, and gave them to his poker friends.

There were two country cargo escorts who were obviously in financial difficulty, and he even offered them cigarettes.

It seems that thanks to the training he gained during his previous inspection of the freight market, Weidong's social attributes have begun to shine more brightly, and he is even beginning to imitate the chatty style of You Qili and others.

After all, I've been watching for so long.

Now I'm gradually getting the feel of it.

It doesn't matter what you talk about. What matters is that you hone your communication skills and practice the ability to quickly capture what you want from the information expressed by the other party.

In the past, I could secretly listen to You Qili and the others talking and saying whatever they wanted. Now that it’s my turn to do it, I realize how difficult it is.

Fortunately, he was so skilled at playing cards that he could move them automatically and subconsciously, freeing up his mind to bully others who had to use their brains to count cards. "I told you not to talk, shut up, I can't figure it out!"

"Hahaha, Xiao Rang did this on purpose."

The atmosphere was fantastic, and there was a genuine flow of business information. One guy transporting specialty glass explained that he'd come from a tributary of the Yangtze River, where several Sichuan optical military factories had switched to camera production a few years ago and finally established themselves as famous brands. But then the Trademark Law came into effect in March of this year, and the Yuezhou brand, which had been standardized under the planned economy, became unusable. So they had to improvise their own, and it immediately flopped. "Even though it's identical, no one recognizes this knock-off brand. We're so miserable we can't even pay salaries, and we have a mountain of inventory."

Let Weidong quickly remember it in his heart.

Then another guy delivering steel mentioned that Jiangzhou's leading military enterprise had finally secured a partnership with Japan and was going to produce a small van. "I don't know if it will sell well. How many people can afford tens of thousands of yuan?"

I had Weidong make another secret note, and even wrote it down in a notebook while using the restroom. After all, a good memory is no match for a poor pen. So the freighter sailed to Shanghai for seven days. Except for passing by the closed hydropower station dam, when everyone went out to take a look, the rest of the time they all huddled together in the cabin playing cards.

It was only after passing Ezhou that Weidong suddenly discovered that the previously narrow river channel had suddenly become vast and spanned several kilometers. It was so wide!
He took a quick look and went back to playing cards and collecting information.

We arrived in Shanghai unknowingly, and at the dock near the Shanghai Steel Plant. Several people from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Nonferrous Metals Factory were eagerly waiting to receive the goods.

The assigned porters immediately unloaded the goods from the boat and loaded them onto trucks, which was much easier than carrying them in sacks last time.

He paid for the inspection, but at this time Weidong suddenly discovered a problem.

Too much money!

Sixty-six thousand, with the largest denomination being only ten yuan, which is roughly equivalent to the volume of six or seven hundred thousand banknotes later.

If it is completely hidden close to the body, it can be wrapped like armor and you don't even need to bend your knees when walking.

Even if the bills are bundled tightly in 11 bundles, that's almost a whole backpack of cash!
The backpacks are full.

The finance department of the non-ferrous metal factory reminded him to pay attention to safety.

They are not so naive in their vigilance.

Let Weidong say goodbye and disappear quickly.

Poker friends often share various tragic events in the underworld. It is very normal for businessmen traveling around the world to be tempted by money.

Weidong felt that he should bring Goudan with him next time. At least he would feel more at ease with a companion.

But he had already made plans for the 60,000 to 70,000 yuan.

It wasn't in vain that I spent so many days traveling around Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and other places after the last delivery.

First, find a taxi in the town near the pier to go to the city in an orderly manner.

It is said that Jiangzhou now has taxis, but they are all waiting for dispatch at the door of the hotel and are basically not seen outside. Not to mention the counties and towns below, there are no buses at all.

I went to a big bank in the most prosperous area and deposited 60,000 yuan.

It doesn’t matter if you can’t deposit or withdraw money from other places, just treat it as a temporary storage point.

Such a large sum of money would attract attention in other banks, and it is relatively common in Shanghai.

He hid the remaining cash and the two hundred yuan he brought with him, along with the deposit slip, and went to look for the goods.

Every time he went from Shangzhou to the provincial capital, he tried his best to bring some bacon with him so that he wouldn't go empty-handed. However, he really didn't dare to bring anything from Jiangzhou to the county town to sell because You Qili hadn't been released yet.

However, it is not cost-effective to travel from Shanghai to Jiangzhou empty-handed.

Last time it was exploratory, this time it is very clear.

Behind the bustling Sujing Road, on a narrow street dotted with local offices in Shanghai, I found the sales department of an unassuming electrical appliance factory. "I want over a hundred portable tape recorders. What's the lowest price? Direct delivery at the Yangtze River Freight Terminal. Cash."

Immediately, everyone from sales staff to business section chiefs gathered around in surprise.

As an electrical appliance factory in northern Jiangsu, the tape recorders they produced could not compare with those of the local large factories in Shanghai, let alone high-tech imported products.

We were so overjoyed to have such a big customer fall from the sky that we immediately called to order the goods. At the same time, we asked the customer if he had any other requirements and how he knew about our product and why he had such trust in it.

A portable two-band single-cassette recorder, the kind with a glass-grooved radio FM band on the top, a tape deck on the left side, a large speaker on the right, and a small tweeter the size of a longan.

It is about one foot long and has a handle. It can be used outdoors after being equipped with dry batteries, which is extremely convenient.

Many of the most handsome guys on the street like to carry it on their shoulders and dance to the music. If they pair it with bell-bottom pants, sunglasses and afro, it will be the perfect look, and they will be the fashion kings.

As a high-quality product invented and produced by a famous Japanese brand, it costs about 300 yuan when imported.

Domestic coastal state-owned factories imitate it and sell it for 85 to yuan. Once the more energetic and shameless small local electrical appliance factories imitate it, they can lower the wholesale price to yuan.

But consumers who can afford this amount of money dare not buy it. What if such an expensive appliance, a large item that costs two or three months' salary, breaks down within a few days after purchase?
It’s better to spend two more months’ money to buy insurance.

Therefore, with consumers who only buy products from large state-owned factories, this factory in northern Jiangsu is currently thinking about how to expand its sales channels.

The last time I visited here, Weidong saw it.

He didn't ask about the quality or price, he just saw the brand name hanging in the office and knew that the company's products were worth buying.

Any city dweller who lived through the 1980s knows this crazy brand.

It pioneered the use of dancing in national television advertisements.

"Swallow dance, erotic dance, let's sing together to express our love." Just hearing these words, his whole body couldn't help but twitch.

I don’t know where Yan is, she only knows how to cheat honest people.
