Reborn in the 70s, doing whatever it takes to make money

"flashlight."

Xu Qing said in a low voice. Without waiting for the other party to refuse, she immediately said: "Sister, to tell you the truth, this flashlight is used by my family. It is a bit old, but it does not hinder its use. If you want it, you can give it to me as a token. About seven or eight dollars."

3 minute later.

The middle-aged woman left with a smile on her face.

Xu Qing put away the seven yuan.

A second-hand flashlight sold for seven yuan, and she was already satisfied.

Soon after.

She found another target and used the same technique to make the target smile. Then she successfully sold the flashlight and earned another seven yuan.

Two flashlights were sold, and the next thing was the watch.

Watches and flashlights have different audiences.

Xu Qing is looking for middle-aged women to sell flashlights. This type of people are generally pragmatic. Flashlights are essential appliances for urban households. They may be reluctant to buy them because they are expensive in department stores, but the flashlight in Xu Qing’s hand is even more expensive than in department stores. Less than half of them, and it doesn’t require a ticket and can be used normally. It is difficult for these people to refuse a cheap and functional flashlight.

As for the watch.

Xu Qing's target is young people who look good in clothes and are not too old. These people may not have much money, but they are willing to invest for themselves.

and.

Nowadays, it has gradually become popular for young people in the city to get married.

Radios, bicycles, sewing machines and watches.

Watches are necessities for young people in the city today, just like houses and cars in later generations. You can live without them if you don’t want to get married, but you must have these if you want to get married.

but.

Three turns and one ring is not cheap.

There are really not many families who can afford these four things.

In later generations, the way young people showed off was cars and luxury cars. Now, the way young people show off is undoubtedly their watches.

Many young people from big factories saved half a year's salary just to buy a watch and then wear it on their wrists to show off to each other. As time went by, many young people began to buy watches one after another.

Nowadays, when a woman is looking for a boyfriend, a big part of it is to see if he has a watch on his wrist. It doesn't matter if he doesn't have a new or old one, but he should have a watch anyway.

Xu Qing walks on the black market looking for targets.

……

Wang Guohua, 24 years old, is a small factory worker with a salary of 33 yuan a month. He has elderly parents at home, and his salary can barely support a family of three.

At the age of 24, he was also of marriageable age. During this period, he dated several girls in succession but ended up without any problems. This made him very puzzled. After questioning, he learned from the introducer that they actually disliked him and didn't have a piece of him. watch.

Future generations may not be able to imagine the importance of a watch to men in this era.

After learning the inside story, Wang Guohua immediately prepared to buy a watch. However, after entering the mall, he found that the cheapest watch cost more than 100 yuan, which was equivalent to four months of his salary, and it also required tickets.

More than 100 yuan, how could he have so much money?

Frustrated, he decided to try his luck on the black market.

Not long after Wang Guohua entered the black market, a crisp voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Hello, comrade!"

Wang Guohua subconsciously turned around and saw that the person speaking was a girl in her late teens, about 1.6 meters and a half tall, with neither white nor black skin, a delicate appearance, and dark and bright eyes...

"You, hello."

Wang Guohua is an introvert. When he sees a woman, he will subconsciously become nervous. Even when he speaks, he stumbles a bit.

"Comrade, I see you don't have a watch on your wrist. I happen to have one here. It was brought by my brother. Because something happened at home and I needed money urgently, I reluctantly took it out and exchanged it for some money. Comrade, do you want it? If If you want, I'll give you an advantage." Xu Qing kept telling lies.

When Wang Guohua heard this, his heart moved. He forgot his nervousness and said quickly: "Show me."

Xu Qing felt the urgency in Wang Guohua's words, and felt happy. She took out a watch and said, "My brother originally spent more than 200 yuan on this watch, and it lasted less than three years. You see, it's well protected. It’s [-]% new.”

After Xu Qing repaired the watch, she wiped it carefully and applied a layer of oil. It looked new.

Staring at the watch in Xu Qing's hand, Wang Guohua's eyes lit up. Xu Qing was right. Although this watch was second-hand, it really looked like new.

"How much do you want to sell it for?"

Wang Guohua asked eagerly.

It became.

Seeing Wang Guohua's tone and expression, Xu Qing knew that the deal was probably done.

Xu Qing pretended to think for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "60 yuan!"

She waited for Wang Guohua to bargain.

Her mental price is 40 yuan, but 30 yuan is fine.

Wang Guohua was overjoyed.

It’s more than half the price of watches in department stores.

And no tickets are required.

"Okay, deal."

He said impatiently.

As if she was afraid that Xu Qing would regret it.

Xu Qing was still waiting for Wang Guohua to bargain with her. After hearing this, she was slightly stunned.

OK, deal?

So refreshing?

She suddenly felt that she had heard wrongly.

"What did you say?"

Xu Qing asked uncertainly.

"Deal, you, you won't regret it, right?"

Wang Guohua asked nervously.

Xu Qing came to her senses, shook her head, and said, "No, I haven't regretted it. I keep my promises. If I say sixty, it will be sixty. I won't sell it for a cent higher or a cent less."

Wang Guohua's expression softened, and he was obviously relieved.

Seeing this, Xu Qing suddenly regretted it, thinking that she had sold it cheaply?

At last.

The two strike a deal.

Xu Qing sold Wang Guohua a watch for 60 yuan.

60 yuan is equivalent to two months' salary of a worker. I didn't expect it to be so easy to get.

pity.

In this era, private individuals can't do business, otherwise she really can't wait to make money, open a factory and become the boss.

Xu Qing's good luck seemed to be exhausted all at once. In the next half hour, she contacted five or six people, but none of them sold the last watch.

Looking at the sky, Xu Qing knew that she should go back, otherwise she would have to walk at night.

Xu Qing no longer sells the last watch and wears it directly on her wrist.

Xu Qing returned to the village before the sun completely set.

After returning home, there was naturally an interrogation. In addition to Xu Qing being a little nice to Xu's mother, the others didn't bother to pay attention and went straight back to the house and fell asleep.

Days passed by.

The arrest of Accountant Lu that Xu Qing was looking forward to has yet to come.

soon.

The time has come the day before the wedding.

Accountant Lu and his family are still safe and sound.

Xu Qing couldn't help but wonder if Ye Chen had forgotten what she had entrusted.

Seeing that the wedding day was coming and Accountant Lu's family was still in trouble, Xu Qing decided that she could not sit still and wait for death, she wanted to escape from the marriage.
