The Era of Hard Work

The dishes were all served, and the meal was almost finished. Lu Dong stopped the chattering people, especially Uncle Qi and Du Xiaobing who was sitting next to him, and was about to talk about business.

Let's go buy goods in the afternoon. We need money to buy goods, and everyone is determined to invest. Lu Dong glanced at Li Wenyue: Wen Yue is not included. Wen Yue came to help to be a witness and write a simple agreement.

Li Wenyue took away the bowls and chopsticks, took out the paper and pen, and put them on the table in front of him. Lu Dong continued: Let's talk about the amount of investment. We all have an idea in mind. I raised 60,000 yuan here.

Keep enough money for the New Year and emergency money, this is the maximum amount of funds that Lu Dong can use.

Qiao Weiguo was the first to say, I'll follow if Dongzi wants to do it, and I'll take out all the 10,000 yuan.

This is the reward plus the money earned from working for Lu Dong for half a year.

Qiao Weiguo handed over the money to Lu Dong, and Lu Dong counted it face to face.

Lu Dong told them before that this is a good opportunity to make money, but the news he got from Lu Chun did not spread to the outside world. Qiao Weiguo and Song Na were both strict-mouthed, and Uncle Qi and Du Xiaobing were hard to say, especially Uncle Qi , Maybe it will leak out as muddled words at any time.

The news leaked to too many people, not to mention the impact on their business, if the above traces the source, Lu Chun may be responsible.

Song Na opened her bag and put a stack of money in front of Lu Dong: I'll pay 10,000 too.

Lu Dong collected Qiao Weiguo's money, counted Song Na's, and said, Uncle Qi paid 10,000 yuan, and the money has already been given to me.

Lu Jianren answered: My bonus has made him cheat! Whose nephew cheated his uncle?

Everyone here knew Uncle Seven, but no one answered.

Du Xiaobing took out 10,000 yuan from his pocket, and said directly to Lu Dong, I can only make up 10,000 yuan.

Lu Dong nodded, Lao Du threw all the money in the store, and owed his cousin a penny, the ten thousand may have been squeezed out.

Sure enough, Du Xiaobing said again: If I lose money, I won't even have the money to buy things for Ning Xue during the Chinese New Year.

If he waits until the end of the New Year to vote, he will have money, and he can receive a lot of red envelopes during the New Year.

Then don't buy it. Lu Dong said jokingly first, and then said seriously: A total of 100,000 yuan! We will use all of this money to do fireworks and firecrackers business! Put the money in, sell things, and earn money back I will go to buy again, and I can’t quit in the middle, the five of us, regardless of wages, until the afternoon of the New Year’s Eve, we will collectively settle accounts and share money!”

Lu Dong added: As for the account split, let's explain in advance that if you lose money, it will be calculated according to the investment ratio. Similarly, if you make money, it will also be calculated according to the investment ratio. We will share the various expenses incurred during the period. time to dig out.

Settle accounts by New Year's Eve? Du Xiaobing is in trouble, how can I buy some good New Year gifts for Ning Xue? But if the words are spoken and the money is handed over, as a man he will naturally not regret it, he gritted his teeth: Yes!

Qiao Weiguo replied, I'll listen to Dongzi.

Song Na said, Okay!

Lu Jianren said casually: You have spent all your money, so you can do whatever you want.

Later, Lu Dong talked about a series of precautions, such as the problem of Uncle Qi's smoking, safety issues in the big show, and so on.

The other four people, including Lu Jianren, were completely dominated by Lu Dong.

Li Wenyue wrote a simple agreement according to what Lu Dong said, and Lu Dong signed it first and put his fingerprint on it, saying: The sale of one hundred thousand yuan is not a small deal. You can’t hurt your feelings just because of the money, you have to take a good look at it, and it’s a written proof.”

In the past six months since he came back, Lu Dong met many people and things, and he was able to get together and make good friends, so his character is naturally not bad.

Those who are worse, he will automatically keep his distance.

I'm going to the bathroom. Lu Dong put his wallet in his pocket and went out to use the bathroom.

After finishing the work, he was about to go to the front desk to find the boss to pay the bill, but found that Du Xiaobing was taking out his wallet there, and hurried over.

Old Du! Lu Dong lowered his hand: It's agreed, I'll treat you.

Du Xiaobing said cheerfully: Our brothers, who please be different?

Just as she was talking, Song Na came over and handed over money to the boss: Use mine!

Lu Dong grabbed her hand: Hei Dan...

The boss refused to accept any money, and said, You should discuss it first.

Helpless, Lu Dong pushed Song Na and Du Xiaobing aside, settled the bill, and the three went back together.

After eating and drinking, Li Wenyue rode back on Lv Dong's Jialing motorcycle, Lv Dong rode Song Na and Xiao Mulan, and asked her to take the truck driven by Uncle Qi, and they went to the rented cement factory warehouse together.

All the motorcycles were stored in the warehouse, and a group of people got on a big truck with two rows of seats, preparing to go to Linzi City to buy goods.

Lu Dong found a few sticks from the warehouse and asked them to put them on the cart so they could be touched easily.

Okay, Dongzi! The stick for beating dogs is ready! Lu Jianren started the truck and drove out of the warehouse gate: Come back and catch some dogs, let you see my skills!

Du Xiaobing had little contact with Uncle Qi, and said, I... can't do anything.

Lu Dong said: Don't listen to Uncle Qi, this is just in case, sometimes the road is not safe.

Lu Jianren answered: As the years go by, accidents are more likely to happen. Money is needed during the New Year, and those who can't make money will be tempted.

One hundred thousand yuan in cash is on him, so he must be more careful.

Lu Dong specially warned: Uncle Qi, watch more on the road!

Understood! Lu Jianren was not confused about major matters: If you pass the toll booth, it is not the boundary of Qingzhao. Be careful and there is no big mistake.

It’s not that exaggerated to walk on the main road in broad daylight, and it’s a nearby city. It’s just that if you carry one hundred thousand yuan in cash with you, you will naturally be more vigilant.

Walking along the provincial road and passing the toll booth to pay, the journey was quite peaceful. The Linzi City Fireworks Factory will definitely not be built in the urban area. The address is in the western suburbs of Linzi, not too far from Qingzhao.

In less than an hour, the bus arrived at the place, and then began a long wait.

As the Chinese New Year approaches, fireworks and firecrackers are coming to the biggest peak season of the year. There are many cars coming to buy goods, and they come all the way along the road from the entrance of the factory.

Lu Dong got out of the car and took a look. There were more than ten cars ahead.

Back in the car, Lu Dong said, It will probably take half an hour.

Song Na said: Every household releases during the Chinese New Year, and the demand is huge...

Boom—boom—

Someone knocked on the co-pilot's door. Lu Dong glanced through the window. It was an ordinary middle-aged woman who rolled down the window and asked, Sister, what's the matter?

The middle-aged woman glanced at the factory area, lowered her voice, and asked mysteriously, Do you want the goods?

Lu Dong asked, Regular product?

Buy something regular! The middle-aged woman took out a few things from her pocket, Cheap! It's even better than regular ones! Do you want it?

Song Na leaned on the co-pilot and took a look. It was a cigarette cracker, also known as the big white skin!

Lu Jianren also saw it, and asked, Why sell it?

But Lu Dong pushed him back to the driver's seat and said, I'm sorry, big sister, we don't need it.

After speaking, the car window rolled up immediately.

The middle-aged woman turned around and walked away, muttering: Are you stupid? You don't do anything to earn money!

Lu Jianren said: Dongzi, this thing is highly profitable!

No, we don't do this! We don't touch illegal things! Lu Dong shook his head and said very seriously: Uncle Qi, listen to me for a while, okay?

Lu Jianren himself had never done business seriously, so he waved his hand: You can do whatever you want.

He knew something in his heart, when it came to business, even his third uncle listened to Lu Dong's advice.

Du Xiaobing and Qiao Weiguo didn't care at all, they read martial arts novels together to pass the time.

In their eyes, it doesn't matter if Lu Dong is around.

Song Na looked at Lu Dong, and then at the middle-aged woman in the distance, thinking about all aspects of Lu Dong in the university city, thinking.

The car moved forward a few parking spaces at intervals, and entered the factory half an hour later. Lu Dong called directly to ask, and went to get the quotation and came back.

The purchase here is not sold by hanging or individually, but sold by case, and the quotation has a clear price. In this peak demand season, there is no need to think about bargaining unless you find a particularly suitable relationship.

Lu Dong has no such relationship, so he can only follow the factory rules.

The warehouse of the fireworks factory is very large, and the entrance can accommodate four cars for loading at the same time. Lu Jianren drove and waited in line. Du Xiaobing and Qiao Weiguo waited later to carry the boxes to coolies, and Lu Dong went to go through the purchase procedures.

Song Na was interested and followed.

There are samples and box specifications here for the formalities. Lu Dong sometimes borrows Uncle Tie's truck when he buys goods.

Firecrackers, hand flowers, throwing firecrackers, drawing firecrackers, ringing thunder, drilling monkeys, Ertijiao, fire trees and silver flowers and so on.

Of course, he didn't come here this time. The big truck can't pull the goods with so much money. He will continue to come tomorrow.

After picking out the goods and paying the money to go through the formalities, the people in the factory whispered: No factory formalities, you can order three points.

Lu Dong understood what he meant. The delivery procedures involved taxes, and had nothing to do with the purchaser. He didn't need the delivery procedures before.

I want the formalities. Lu Dong had already made up his mind: Follow the formal procedures.

After completing the procedures, he and Song Na walked back, and a voice came from behind: If you have money, you don't know how to save it. What procedures do you want!

Song Na gradually understood, she knew that Lu Dong had applied for a temporary sales certificate for Qingzhao, and the illegal big white skins were not needed here, even if the factory spent more money, it would follow the formal procedures...

The bill of lading was handed over to the warehouseman, the truck backed up to the warehouse door, and a forklift brought the goods over. Lu Dong asked Song Na to check the goods, and he loaded the truck with Lu Jianren, Qiao Weiguo and Du Xiaobing.

Some goods are so heavy in a box that one person can't move them at all, which is why Lu Dong pulled everyone over.

The boxes are stacked one by one, and the height will soon exceed the front of the car. It must be loaded according to the weight of the truck, which is 100% overweight.

But this kind of car is really based on the load, and it can't hold much.

There are even small trucks produced by some factories, whose self-weight exceeds the maximum load, but they are still listed and run.

After the goods were loaded, covered with the tarpaulin that had been prepared a long time ago, and got the factory certificate, the truck left the fireworks factory smoothly.

How many times do we have to come? Lu Jianren asked.

Lu Dong did some calculations: Three or four times, probably one day tomorrow will not be enough. He turned his head and asked the three people in the back seat, Are you free?

Free! The three responded.

Loading and unloading vehicles is all manual work, and there is no other equipment, so it is difficult to handle when there are fewer people.

On the way back, I was approaching the toll booth, and there were still a few miles ahead, and the speed of the cars ahead slowed down, and a long queue gradually formed.

Seeing that the situation was not quite right, Lu Dong muttered, There won't be a car checker?

If you want to have a good year, everyone needs money.
