My 1979

Li He called them to the tea room alone. The less people knew about the border trade, the better. Even if people knew about it, it was best not to know the details.

"Sit down. I haven't talked to you in detail since I came back. I can take some time to chat today. You can tell me whatever you want to say."

Shouhou took out a box of cigarettes, opened the top and scattered a cigarette, and said to Li He, "Try this cigarette. Maozi's cigarettes are quite refreshing to smoke."

"I'm not used to smoking. I only smoked two of the few you brought me last time. I'm too lazy to smoke anymore." Li He refused and took out his own Chinese stick from his pocket and lit it, even though he didn't like it either. He originally liked to smoke Furong King, but there was no place to sell it yet. He could only buy it after it came on the market. The key was that it was smooth on the throat and not greasy.

Shouhou said angrily, "Brother, I have made several trips before and after. To be honest, it was really profitable. After the border trade was opened in 1982, more and more people went there. The largest one in Manchuria , followed by Suifenhe, and the rest are places like Heihe and Dongning. Jeans, chewing gum, sweatshirts, and down jackets are all treasures in Maozi’s eyes. Even potatoes and cabbage can be sold at high prices, including those wines in the north. The bad wine in the workshop can be sold out of stock. We Chinese are everywhere, guess who I met in Blagoveshchensk?"

"Who?" Li He thought that there were only a few people that everyone knew in common, and he lowered his head and couldn't remember for a moment.

"Zhang Xianwen, brother, you can't think of it!".

"Is it him?" Li Hezhen didn't expect it to be him. He hadn't seen this person since 1983. He couldn't help laughing when he thought that he was the one who did the electronic watch business.

"Yeah, that guy is very rich. He found a small workshop in Changshu to process leather goods, clothes, etc., and the profit was more than ten times higher when he resold it. The last time we met in the hotel, he hugged two hairy women and spent the whole day I didn’t leave the house, hehe.”

Wan Liangyou, who had been silent next to him, also smiled and said, "Chinese people have traveled all over the world, but only in Maozi's territory can we live like human beings!".

Li He burst out laughing when he heard this. Isn't it true? You are too poor to be decent, and there are people who are even poorer than you, especially those in Mao Zi's Far East.

Shouhou handed the account book in his arms to Li He and said, "Take a look."

"Why did you earn so much?" Li He roughly checked one item and actually earned more than 7 million! And it's only one year. "Didn't you say it was hard to do it in the first half of the year? You can earn more than 100,000 yuan a month."

The thin monkey smiled and said, "It's all the result of the traitors under us. We have a hundred old men under us who do nothing every day and eat our food and drink our food. If they were conscientious, they would not be able to stay here long ago." . I asked them to help us bribe the conductor in Sulie. At one time, we could buy several entire boxes with four berths. Except for one to sleep on, the rest were filled with goods from the floor to the ceiling. , even the car windows are tightly blocked. Do you think we can make no money transporting goods like this?"

"And every time you arrive at a station, you don't even need to leave the platform, and it is sold out. It's really a good business." At this time, Lan Shifang, who was standing next to him, interjected.

Shouhou continued to smile and said, "Even our international students in China are making less money."

"International students?" Li He was a little confused. What kind of money can international students earn? It’s nothing more than translation.

"They are smart and can speak Russian. They bribed the Russian ticket sellers and controlled a large number of train tickets. The black market tickets for one train were sold for 60-70 US dollars each. Do you know the original price? It was only 4 US dollars! From Moscow to us It’s only 4 US dollars in the capital! I learned this trick from them.” Shouhou said this very proudly.

Li He lamented that we must not let the Chinese take advantage of the loopholes. When we go abroad, we feel that "the world is broader"!

"There's no trouble on the way, right?"

At this time, Shouhou let out a long sigh, "Brother, you still have the foresight. Let's bring Brother Lan and Brother Wan with us. Otherwise, we will be reimbursed."

Li He hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? I didn't hear you elaborate in the letter or telegram."

At this time, Wan Liangyou said, "Let's not mention the customs. Every time we go in and out, we are skinned. We admit it. After all, there is still money to be made, and sometimes we let our subordinates come forward. What's more, Don't worry. But there are too many robbers, and they still work together to commit crimes. They dare to rob and kill in broad daylight. You can say they are rampant or not."

Li He didn't speak, and suddenly he felt a little scared. He kept things simple and almost killed several people in Shouhou, but could the trip to the Soviet Union be stopped?

It definitely can’t be stopped!

"Next year I'll come and go."

The worst thing he could do was resign. Compared with Maozi's huge bonus, there was nothing he couldn't let go of.

"Brother, don't, I know you are worried about us, but it's the same when you go. Maybe we haven't gotten to know each other yet. At least we have been hanging around for two years," Shouhou said with a smile.

Wan Liangyou looked outside the door, then made a shooting gesture with his hand, and whispered, "We have this at the critical moment. Bang, ten or eight are not afraid, I can send him to see the King of Hell."

"Gun?" Li He felt even colder.

Lan Shifang said, "In Maozi's territory, as long as he has it, there is nothing he can't buy with money. The production line of a famous tractor factory there has been secretly sold to our country."

Yes, what does a gun mean?

Li He lit another cigarette and asked, "Making money is one aspect. Is there any way we can build an equipment production line or something like that?"

The thin monkey smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, I understand your thoughts, but you have to know that a piece of equipment weighs more than ten tons, or even dozens of tons. We can't pull it back."

Lan Shifang joked, "There is still a way to drive planes and tanks back."

"You are really good at joking," Li He said, but in fact he also moved to find ideas from Liu Baoyong and Qi Gongxun. Just thinking about it, I can only take one step at a time.

Lan Shifang said, "Of course I'm joking, who can I buy it and sell it to?"

Li He said, "I wonder if you will still be willing to go there after the new year?"

This time everyone received at least 20,000 yuan. Twenty thousand yuan is not a small amount in China. It is enough for them to live a well-off life. Why bother leaving home and suffering.

Wan Liangyou said, "We also appreciate your love, we have made money, and the arrangements at home are very appropriate. But after going out and seeing hundreds of thousands of people, we are not satisfied anymore, and we still want to continue with you. But about Wang We apologize to you for what happened."

"No, no, there is no need to apologize. Everyone has his own ambitions. Besides, there is essentially no contractual employment relationship between me and him. We are free to come and go," Li He said very reasonably.

Wang Yuan was a person brought over by Wan Liangyou. He was keen on the speed of making money in border trade. He was as excited as if he had discovered a new world. After receiving 20,000 yuan, he immediately left the circle of Shouhou and went back to organize the supply of goods. When he became a bad guy, he believed that he would be successful if he was his own boss.

This made everyone including Wan Liangyou, Lan Shifang, and Li Aijun very embarrassed.

Lan Shifang said, "After all, it is my person, and it is also our fault."

Li He smiled and said, "Brother Lan and Brother Wan, I'm really not angry. I still say the same thing, I can come and go freely here. Follow me, and I won't treat you two badly sooner or later. If you two are willing to go it alone, I Don’t stop me, no one has any grudge against money.”

They have now figured out the routines of border trade. As long as they learn from others, there is no reason not to make money. The only difference is whether they make more by following Li He or by themselves.

Lan Shifang said, "Brother, don't say anything. The trade here looks simple, but in fact it's not that easy. I'd better leave the money to my son to be my wife. I won't mess around anymore and just work with you honestly." "Besides, our brothers can't do things like making promises, breaking promises, and changing things when they have different ideas. If we talk about it any more, it will slap us in the face."

Li He said, "Thank you everyone. Since you believe in me, I also promise that if you have money, we can make money together."
