The strong fisherman in the courtyard

He had gained a lot of experience from tonight's trip, and he had made up his mind to do this business. The main reason was that he was selling a large amount of the things he had to the steel mill, and he thought it was not safe. If he was really targeted by someone, it would be difficult for his cheap uncle to get out of this trouble.

Although the black market is not safe either, Li Ming believes that if he encounters someone with bad intentions, he can send the other party away in advance. Compared with the obvious troubles like the steel mill, he still prefers the black market.

At least if someone really wants to find out, it's just a matter of throwing it into space. But it's not possible in the steel mill, where there are obstacles everywhere and it's troublesome to breathe.

Li Ming, feeling satisfied, walked towards the courtyard house as soon as he came out of the Pigeon Market. Next, he waited to meet the Wang brothers on the weekend to confirm the market price and the Wang brothers' ideas again. If there were no problems, he could start to tinker with the business.

The next day.

Li Ming woke up from his bed. It was almost three o'clock when he returned to the courtyard last night. He had to go back to the factory to catch up on some sleep today. Maybe his father envied him for working in Sangu. How could this be considered work? It was clearly about enjoying life!

Li Ming got up late today and met He Yuzhu on the road, who was walking towards the steel mill with his hands behind his back.

He Yuzhu saw that Li Ming didn't ride his bike today, and thought of how Li's mother had embarrassed Yi Zhonghai at the Siheyuan meeting a few days ago. He planned to find Li Ming and tell him about it. After all, Yi Zhonghai was good to him, and he, He Yuzhu, had to help out his uncle no matter what.

However, He Yuzhu did not consider Li Ming's thoughts. At least He Yuzhu felt that Li Ming and even the Li family should give him some face.

"Hey, Mingzi!" He Yuzhu did what he thought and immediately called out Li Ming.

Li Ming turned his head and looked at He Yuzhu with a questioning look on his face, "Brother Zhuzi? What's wrong?"

He Yuzhu expressed his happiness that Li Ming called him Brother Zhuzi instead of Shazhu.

"Well, nothing much. I just saw you and thought I'd go to the factory with you."

"Okay, let's do it together." Li Ming handed He Yuzhu a cigarette. Although He Yuzhu was a simple-minded person, as long as you don't make him angry, you can just do what you want.

"By the way, Mingzi, at the last hospital meeting, an old man said he wanted to hold a donation event in the hospital, but your mother stopped him. Did you know that?"

Li Ming's face froze. Oh my god, no wonder you, with your square face, asked me to go to work with you today. So you are planning to fight with me?

"I know, what's wrong?"

"Well, it's nothing. Jia Dongxu is our neighbor after all. It would be a bit bad to stop him and tell others about it."

He Yuzhu said with a smile.

"My mother is following the requirements of the Street Office. Brother Zhuzi, do you have any advice?"

He Yuzhu also understood the meaning of Li Ming's words, at least it was obvious that he was hostile towards him.

"No, no, I just want to say, Sister Wu, next time, can't you tell the street office afterwards? Look at the commotion in our yard now."

"Won't this affect the unity of our hospital?"

"I was thinking of asking you, Mingzi, to tell Sister Wu. After all, we live in the same courtyard. If a neighbor is in trouble, it would be a good idea to help him."

Li Ming smiled and shook his head. Originally, he had planned to help He Yuzhu in the future because He Yushui had a good relationship with his parents when he was a child.

Now he no longer had that idea. He was just thinking about how to make this damned He Yuzhu even more miserable!

"Let's talk about it later, but I have something to say to you today, Brother Zhuzi. The Street Office has its own rules and we must follow them."

"This is just like the laws of the country. If there are laws, we must abide by them. Otherwise, if everyone uses personal connections to speak for themselves, society will be in chaos, right?"

Li Ming smiled and threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, said this and walked towards the steel rolling mill. This could be regarded as a warning. If He Yuzhu planned to play dirty with their Li family like Yi Zhonghai in the future, then he, Li Ming, would have no choice but to put He Yuzhu's name in the pig trough.

If you don't follow the rules, I'll just flip the table over and that's it. I just hope they won't talk to Li Ming about the rules.

Chapter 78 Prepare to make money

He Yuzhu was left standing there, his face turning pale and green, as if he had eaten poisonous mushroom hotpot. He really didn't expect Li Ming to not give him any face at all.

He Yuzhu patted his face and smiled bitterly, "Well, I'm causing trouble again."

Then one person continued to walk towards the steel mill.

Time passed quickly in a few days. There was nothing much to do in the factory during these days, and the people in the courtyard lived a peaceful and ordinary life.

The biggest commotion was when Jia Dongxu, the "mama's boy", came out of the hospital. It wasn't that Jia Dongxu didn't want to stay in the hospital for two more days, but the Jia family was reluctant to spend the money. The day after Yi Zhonghai's application for donations was unsuccessful last time, this "adopted son" came out of the hospital.

Today is the weekend, the sun is warm, and Comrade Li Ming is in a good mood. This afternoon he plans to go to the Wang brothers' place and work hard for his plan to make money.

However, he had no idea of ​​selling grain on the black market himself, at least not for the time being. The black market is not very stable right now. Comrades in wide-brimmed hats have been checking the black market quite frequently recently. But thanks to them, the price of grain has been on the rise again recently.

Wang's courtyard.

Li Ming sat at the table in the main room, Wang Da made tea and Wang Er handed him a cigarette.

"How have your investigations been going these past two days?" Li Ming asked, tapping the table.

"Brother Li, my brother and I have been to almost every pigeon market in the city these days, and the prices of these grains are basically the same."

"However, the black market has been hit several times in the past two days, and the price of food there has shown a trend of rising again."

Wang Da said with a flattering look on his face.

Li Ming didn't expect that these two brothers could run through the entire black market of the city. Now he thinks that there is nothing wrong with their work attitude.

"Okay, it's similar to what I found out. Let's compare the current prices of grain on the black market."

When the two brothers Wang Da and Wang Er heard what Li Ming said, they were shocked. They didn't expect that Li Ming not only asked them to inquire, but also went there himself. Fortunately, the two brothers were careful and didn't try to fool around with this.

The three of them checked the prices of grain they had recently learned one by one. After they finished checking, Wang Da and Wang Er saw Li Ming nodded with satisfaction and they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, that's a job well done!"

Li Ming threw a special supply to each of the two brothers as a sweet treat, and let them use their imagination to imagine the result.

"This is a special supply cigarette, not available to ordinary people. You guys did a good job today, give it a try!"

The two brothers' eyes lit up, they had only heard of this kind of special cigarettes when people were bragging about it, and more often than not, it was the kids from the big courtyards who smoked it. They stared at it with envy, and they didn't expect that Li Ming could even have this kind of cheap stuff.

The two brothers added another layer of background for Li Ming in their minds. Of course, this was also what Li Ming wanted.

The two men lit up the cigarettes tremblingly, took a deep puff, and felt fine, comfortable.

"Brother Li, this cigarette is really good!" Wang Er smoked a cigarette to the end and then threw it away reluctantly.

"Okay, now that we're done smoking, how about I discuss our deal with you two?"

"It's definitely better than you two brothers walking around on the street."

Li Ming looked at the two of them with a smile, his eyes were no different from when he was fishing.

"Brother Li, you say, we brothers said last time that we want to hang out with you, whatever you say is what counts."

"Well, you can't say that. I'm short of people, and you're short of money. I'll provide the money, and you'll provide the people, and we'll strive to make it bigger and stronger!"

Seeing this, Li Ming drank a pot of hot chicken soup and prepared to have a pua meal.

"I will provide the food, and you can sell it on the black market. I will give you two a commission. The more you sell, the more commission you will get."

"But I have one request. Eat as much as your stomach can hold, and don't overeat and get caught. Can you do that?"

That's really amazing. They are all street urchins, so even if they don't know much about what's going on, they can probably understand it.

Now Li Ming was willing to give them a job to make a living. In these years of food shortage, it was no longer a question of whether they could make money or not. As long as the two brothers took on this business, they would not starve to death for at least the next three years.

Wang Da slapped Wang Er on the head and asked him to bow, and he also bowed, which made Li Ming's eyes twitch.

Li Ming stood up and slapped them one by one, "Who the hell told you to learn how to bow? Chao!"

"Well, let's be careful next time."

Wang Da touched his head and smiled innocently, he learned this posture from others before, he didn't expect that his elder brother didn't like it.

"Alright, alright, stop being a monster. I'll deliver the food to your door tonight. When you hear any noise, come out and move it in."

"I'm going to give you 200 kilograms of food this time. It's not much, but you have to be careful when you sell it. Do you understand?"

“I understand.”*2.

Li Ming was very satisfied. At least he didn't bow this time. "Okay, I'll send you food in the evening."

"I come to your place every weekend to withdraw money. I believe you won't squint, right?"

Li Ming looked at the two men with a smile. The two brothers suddenly remembered the broken tree branches and shook their heads.

"Don't worry, brother, I know what to do and what not to do."

"Well, that's it."

Li Ming waved his hand and walked out, preparing to come back in the evening. He wanted to give the two men 200 kilograms of coarse grains to try. If they sold well, they would get at least yuan. This was in the s, so yuan was really a lot of money.

If you do odd jobs like someone without a proper job, you can only earn 200 to yuan a month. Not to mention that if you sell kilograms of grain for a month, I guess it won't even last a week if it sells well.

As long as Li Ming has enough food, it will not be a problem for him to create several millionaires in the next five years.

While thinking about his money-making plan, he strolled towards the courtyard.

Today is a rest day, and there are a lot of people. Most of them are rushing around the grain stores, and quite a few people are going to the suburbs to buy some things. Of course, more people are flocking to the Jinshui River to participate in the great fishing cause.

Chapter 79 The Cursing Comrade Old Li

That night.

Li Ming came out of the yard with ease. This time he didn't have to worry about the carts or food. He walked much faster. Everything was in the space. When he arrived at the gate of the Wang brothers' yard, he threw the food out from the space.

It didn't take long for them to reach their destination. Li Ming looked around to make sure there were no guests looking for the half-open door, then he threw out the food from the space. 200 kilograms was not a lot of food, so he found some flour bags in advance, filled them with 100 kilograms each and threw them at the door.

He then pinched a locust stone from the space and threw it into the yard. After a while, the two Wang brothers opened the door and welcomed Li Ming and the food in.

"Brother Li, have a drink of water." After entering the house, Wang Da hurriedly brought out a cup of hot tea and handed it to Li Ming.

"This is 200 kilograms of cornmeal. I won't say much about the black market price. You can decide based on your own situation. I just want to say one thing: the more you sell, the more you two can get from me."

"I'll give you 10 percent." Li Ming stretched out a finger and shook it. 10 percent was really a lot. The two brothers didn't even have to put up any capital. At least they felt satisfied, and even thought it was a bit too much.

However, for Li Ming, this is also a business with no capital. It is worth giving away 10% in exchange for a good night's sleep.

"Brother Li, isn't this a bit too much?"

Wang Dawen was quite nervous, 200 kilograms only seemed like a lot, and if the two brothers sold the goods separately, each of them could probably sell several dozen kilograms a night. If they were not worried about being targeted, they could even sell all of them in one night.

Li Ming shook his head. "You guys are working for me. If I give you too little money, I'll feel bad about it. Not to mention, you two are taking risks to work for me."

"That's settled, but I still say the same thing, be careful and don't get targeted."

Li Ming finished drinking the water in the teacup, stood up and walked out.

"Don't worry, Brother Li."

The Wang brothers respectfully sent Li Ming away before returning to the house. They looked at the two flour bags in the house with shining eyes.

"Brother, now we two brothers are safe, hehe."

"Of course not. If we can find a big customer, we can sell more of this stuff. But Brother Li is right. We don't have any big customers at the beginning. Even if we make less money, we have to pay attention to safety."

"Yeah, don't worry, brother. Although I'm naive, I'm not stupid."

"But how do we sell it? Together or separately?"

Wang Da thought for a moment and said, "Separately, but in the same black market, so that if anything happens, there will be someone to take care of us."

"But we can't stay in the same black market all the time. We need to move to another place after each round of operations. There are many black markets in the city. It will probably take us half a month to go around."

"Okay, I'll listen to big brother."

"I just don't know if Brother Li has enough food, hehe." Wang Er happily put a cigarette into his mouth and began to imagine the wonderful life in the future.

"Of course there is. The special supply he drew has a deep background. Let's not worry about other things. Just do what Brother Li told us to do."

one-one-one-one-one-one

Li Ming walked towards the courtyard as soon as he came out of Wang's house. He had to go back to sleep today and slack off tomorrow, so he couldn't slack off during work hours.

As for what the two Wang brothers said or thought after he left, he didn't care. All he cared about was that the money was in place.

one-one-one-one-one-one

The next day.

Li Ming woke up from the bed and started to wash up. He had already told his family about He Yuzhu's incident a few days ago. His mother was so angry that she pinched his father's ears and scolded him.

It's not for any other reason, it was Li's father's idea two years ago to let He Yushui marry into their Li family. Well, with He Yuzhuo like this, if He Yushui really marries into their Li family, then their family will be lively in the future.

The more Li's mother thought about it, the angrier she became, so she told Li's father to sleep on the floor in the living room that night.

Because of this incident, Father Li had nothing better to say and started to scold He Yuzhu, calling him a fool. It turned out that there was only a wrong name, not a wrong nickname.

Silly Zhu, Silly Zhu, your reputation is really well-deserved!
