Rebirth 76: Industrial Internet Empire

After laughing and joking for a while, Ren Jie continued: "Since there is a possibility of being convicted of speculation, our educated youth group cannot be wiped out by the Communist Youth League. We must discuss it in advance. Once the incident comes to light, you insist that you know nothing and can't do farm work. The educated youth sent by the brigade to earn work points put all the blame on me, and it is true that everyone took over the business of selling vegetables and non-staple food because of me!"

Ma Xiaojun said sternly: "Who do you think my brothers are? We share blessings and hardships together. Brothers can't do such unloyalty things!"

Ren Jie said angrily: "This is not about being unloyal! This is a strategy. What will Lin Yan and the others do if they are all in? They can also find ways to save their buddies outside, right? It's settled. Brother, I am the leader of you group of small businessmen and hawkers, so grab the dry food and set off, I have the final say!”

After a long journey of more than two hours, a tractor loaded with vegetables, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, wild fruits and other non-staple food items puffed out black smoke across the Anhe Bridge. In the thin morning light, Jiangcheng City, the capital of Honghe Province, slowly appeared not far away. Exposed silhouette.

Ren Jie stayed here for ten years in his previous life. The familiar streets, alleys, plants and trees here are burned into his memory. His youth was here, and he spent the happiest time in his life here. , until the truth about Lin Yan's death was known.

The northeastern corner of Jiangcheng is surrounded by mountains and rivers. The largest Jiangcheng Machinery Factory in Honghe Province is located here. The large state-owned factory in this era is like an independent kingdom: dock, factory area, family area, children's school, hospital, non-staple food store, Farmers markets have just about everything.

Ren Jie drove the tractor directly to the family area of ​​​​the machinery factory based on his memory, found a relatively open place to park, took out the five yuan borrowed by the brigade headquarters, handed it to Ma Xiaojun and said: "Go to the supply and marketing cooperative in front and buy two bags of Big Harvest , two packs for the front door, give Xiao Hanwen the change after buying the cigarettes, and he will be responsible for the accounting from now on."

A few people casually gnawed on two tortillas, and before they started unloading, two sisters-in-law, about 40 or [-] years old, came around and whispered to each other.

"Are these fresh vegetables delivered to our grocery store? Lao Cao finally purchased a batch of fresh vegetables."

"Isn't that right? It's getting more and more outrageous now. These dishes are juicy and juicy. I have to wait for him to unload the food and buy some today."

Ren Jie hurriedly came forward and said with a sweet smile: "Hello, two sisters! We are educated youths from Annan. The side business of the brigade has invited experts from the Institute of Agricultural Sciences to guide us this year. We have grown very well, so we were sent to Jiangcheng. , give you a taste."

A sister-in-law chuckled and said: "Young man is quite sweet. You are going to sell it yourself. Take it off quickly and we will buy some."

While greeting everyone to unload the goods, Ren Jie continued to get close to each other: "The two sisters are warm and kind at first glance, and they are also diligent and thrifty. We are new here and don't know what the market is like. Do you think this is good? Please help guide us and take a look at us. What price should these vegetables cost? In return, whatever vegetables you want today, we will give them all for free.”

To be honest, people in this era are still relatively simple. The two sisters-in-law began to help set the prices of vegetables seriously. Sometimes they would argue over differences of opinion, and finally a consensus was reached. The retail price of vegetables was basically 1-2 points lower than that in non-staple food stores. Since fish and eggs do not need to be supplied by ticket, the prices on the black market are cheap and the prices are quickly determined:

青椒（0.12）、土豆（9分）、蘑菇（0.35）、白菜（4分）、柿饼（0.40）、鲢鱼（0.35）、鲫鱼（0.45）、笋干（0.25）、鸡蛋（9分）、鸭蛋（0.12）……

It was morning market time now, and soon the stalls were crowded with people. A few educated youths were clumsily weighing the portions. Some customers were anxious to wait in line and left early in a hurry to get to work. The whole morning market looked lively, but there was no sale. Not even a third of the fish sold out was sold. Fortunately, the crucian carp and silver carp sold under the banner of Anhe Reservoir were basically sold out.

After eight o'clock, all kinds of people wearing red armbands started to charge fees. In this era, the management of stalls was not very strict. People from the street, industry and commerce came to collect some management fees, health fees, etc.

The clerk at the non-staple food store not far away knew that someone had brought a large cart of vegetables and fish eggs for sale, but he didn't even look here. It would be better if everyone didn't go to the non-staple food store to buy them, and they were just wearing sweaters. Cough melon seeds, your salary won’t be reduced by a cent.

At around nine o'clock, two uniformed security officers came over and told them to go away and not set up stalls in the family area. The security officers of this era were serious police officers and had the power to enforce the law. Jie quickly took out the letter of introduction from the Xiaping Brigade, and stuffed the two boxes of large front doors that had been prepared long ago into their pockets without leaving any trace. When the staff of the Security Department saw that they were several educated youths from Annan County, and they were so sensible, they did not hesitate. If you try to embarrass them again, just tell them to clean up the floor before they leave!

Until this moment, Ren Jie's hanging heart finally settled down a little. Although he knew that speculation was a sin, he was not sure which department would manage the qualitative work. So far, most people wearing big caps and uniforms had come, so it was a smooth step forward. The first step!

By the time of the evening market, the four of them had become much more proficient at weighing the portions. Except for Zhong Haitao, a few of them calculated the accounts very quickly. After basically weighing the portions, the amount was reported. The speed was obviously much faster than that in the morning. In fact, even the two-generation person Ren Jie didn't know that their clumsy enthusiasm could win more trust from customers. This was a mistake!

Before seven o'clock, all the vegetables he brought were basically sold out, leaving only a few potatoes and cabbage. Ren Jie gave them to the gatekeeper of the family compound and a few aunts wearing red sleeve bands, and then found a snack bar to eat and drink. Let's go home!

I have to say that the prices at this time are really nostalgic. Four people only spent two yuan.

When we returned to the educated youth counter in Xiaping Brigade, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening, and a group of young people were still sleepy. Several female educated youths counted their change twice before saying happily: "You have sold a total of 582 yuan and 6 cents. According to the price Xu Xiaohu sent to the non-staple food company, it should be paid to the brigade headquarters at 7 yuan and 397 cents. This trip made a net profit of 5 yuan and 5 cents. We are rich..."

Ren Jie magically pulled out half a bag of flour and a few bars of soap from under the tractor seat, and the female educated youth cheered again...

However, Ren Jie was not dazzled by the success of his first try. Instead, he thoughtfully pulled Ma Xiaojun and Zhong Haitao aside and started whispering...
