National Tide 1980

Chapter 23 Leave it to dry

Ning Weimin is not a person who has never enjoyed it. In his previous life, he was a frequent visitor to various bathing centers.

But this time, I still felt like I was eating a lot of foreign food. It was so delicious!

Actually this is not surprising.

First, he has never had a comfortable hot bath since he traveled through time.

It had been too long since he had enjoyed the relaxation of having his whole body immersed in hot water, and the feeling of his limbs feeling refreshed.

Second, in his previous life, when he went to bathing centers, he mostly accompanied clients or went with colleagues.

That was just a drunkard's intention, not the wine. Where did he go to take a bath?

Either do health care, play mahjong, or tie gold flowers...

The purpose is to join forces with others and draw into each other's relationship in a corrupt and depraved way, so as to pave the way for business.

So in most cases, they can't stay in the pool for a while and then go out together.

I have never concentrated on soaking in place.

The difference in time is the difference in heat. Is it the same as soaking in water for a few hours?

Third, when he went to take a bath, it was purely a blind soak.

He simply thought that taking a bath could help lose weight and relieve fatigue, but he didn't even understand the principle of "don't shave your head when you're full, and don't take a bath when you're hungry".

So I usually go there after a day of business.

Sometimes I drink a lot of wine because of social activities, but I don’t eat much serious food in my stomach.

Little did they know that taking a bath is a physically strenuous task that requires people to be energetic, eat and drink enough.

On the contrary, this only adds to the tiredness.

There were even occasional "dizzy spells" several times.

To put it bluntly, the reason why he was able to drink himself and travel through time was probably because of this lifestyle that didn't care about health.

In short, Ning Weimin and Kang Shude spent an hour enjoying themselves.

The master and apprentice soaked the sludge off their bodies and then took a soap shower.

I feel like the skin on my body has become looser and my blood vessels are completely smooth.

Then he walked outside, put on a bath towel, leaned on the bed, and stretched out his legs to dry.

It's not just that it's dry. The tea has been left to dry for a long time and it's just warm. Pour a cup for each.

Then I took out the fried butter cake from "Fengfenggong" and opened it. We drank tea and chatted while eating.

It was beautiful for Ning Weimin. He stuffed his mouth with food and hesitated to praise it.

"The bath I took today is so relaxing. No wonder I always heard you say that soaking in the bathhouse for a day is like being a living god. I understand now, and this is indeed true."

Kang Shude rubbed his red face with his hands and grinned.

"Does this mean he's a god? Well, according to you, he's pretty good at being a god."

Ning Weimin knew that the old man was teasing him.

But he was quite thick-skinned. Not only did he not mind at all, but he actually acted like a good boy.

"Old man, don't laugh at me. I admit that I just don't know anything. I also know that it's nothing, it's just that I haven't seen any good things. So, I have to rely on you from now on. I also have to rely on you to take me to more places like this It’s a good place to meet the world. Otherwise, I will be embarrassed and ridiculed by others. You don’t look good on your face, right? Whose disciple am I?”

"Hey, don't dislike me. I can't compare to the people from Tsinghua University who love bathing, and the people from Peking University all know how to take pictures. But I have summed up three elements of success in life. As long as you can do it well, your future is limitless. 1. Persistence , the second is shameless, and the third is shamelessness. It’s a coincidence that Ning’s strengths in life are nothing more than three things. One is eating noodles with soybean paste, the other is being thick-skinned, and the third is being good at learning and applying, drawing inferences from one example..."

Seeing that he was getting more and more stubborn as he talked, the old man couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this, so he quickly asked him to stop.

"Okay, okay, your best thing is your mouth. I find that you should start talking about cross talk. You don't need to learn it. You are naturally proficient in talking and singing."

Then he straightened up and leaned on the bed and took a sip of tea.

"Stop teasing me, let's talk about some serious things while we're quiet now."

"I have to go to work in two days. From now on, this shift will last for twelve hours, alternating between morning and evening. It will inevitably leave you at home alone."

"So I have something to say. If I don't tell you, I'd be really worried."

The words and the look in his eyes immediately made Ning Weimin's heart tremble.

He straightened up and chewed the butter fried cake in two mouthfuls, losing his playful smile.

"Master, if you have anything to say, just give it. I'm listening."

Kang Shude picked up the tea cup, took a sip first, and then nodded.

"Light the lamp in the vat and illuminate the inside but not the outside. Then I'll tell you the truth."

"You've been doing quite well in the garbage dump this time. You've made a lot of money by exchanging copper, fixing watches, and so on. And with all the money you earned, you still bought stamps and put them in that little box. Tibetan."

"Seeing that you get seventeen or eight pieces every day, I estimate that you have about two hundred pieces in your hand. That's more than a thousand yuan. So I want to ask you about your plans now."

"How much is enough for you to buy this eight-cent monkey? There is also the business of making a living in the eastern suburbs garbage dump. Have you ever thought about when you should give up?"

Ning Weimin was stunned at first after hearing this.

He took a breath and thought for a while before answering.

"Old man, let me tell you this, I just don't have money in my hand. If I have money, I can have as many eight-cent monkeys as I want. Regarding this thing, I am Han Xin's military commander. The more I have, the more I won't mind. A lot. As long as I can see it and have the money to buy it, I will buy it. I won’t give up until I can’t see it in the market.”

"But you don't have to worry about me. Haven't I told you repeatedly that this kind of stamp is no better than others. It has a smaller circulation, is beautifully made, and is the first zodiac stamp. It will definitely increase in value, and The speed will be very fast. I guarantee that I will be able to easily make money from this in the future, and make a lot of money."

"Even if you don't believe me, let's take a step back. Aren't stamps still money? They are issued by the state and have face value. No matter what, if he keeps these eight-cent stamps, they are still eight-cent, right? As long as the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications recognizes them, I After all, you can’t lose your money. So don’t worry, just wait patiently. After I get paid, I will take you here to be a god every day.”

"As for the garbage dump in the eastern suburbs, I don't understand what you mean. Damn it, why should I withdraw? Is there anything else that can make more money than this? I still count on this Make money and buy more monkey tickets."

As if he had expected Ning Weimin's reaction, Kang Shude sighed and put down the tea cup.

"I knew you would say that. What I'm afraid of is that you are too greedy and don't know when to stop."

When Ning Weimin heard this, something was wrong, and he was naturally confused.

"Master, you...you mean...you think I'm too greedy?"

Unexpectedly, Kang Shude shook his head.

"I can't say that. Who in business is not greedy? It is the nature of a businessman to pursue profit. I don't think there is anything wrong with being ambitious. I'm just afraid that you don't know the depth. I think you can only eat two worms. If you insist on eating ten kilograms of pancakes, your appetite will be too big and it will easily hurt your stomach."

"Let me tell you this. I can't figure out what's so good about the eight-cent monkey you mentioned. But one thing is clear to me. You make money to buy stamps, and you save stamps for the future. Make more money by selling at a higher price.”

"You are just right, that's why you want to hoard goods. You also want to artificially try your best to make these stamps rare and valuable. To put it bluntly, you don't waste time and money to dominate the business. .”

"As for whether you can do this, I can't say. I don't understand it, and I can't see through it. But I can let you do it. Because in addition to appreciating your kid's courage to be a newborn calf and not afraid of tigers, I also I think you have considered it very carefully. As you said, no matter what happens, the stamps in your hand are still valuable, right?"

"Actually, this is the most important principle in doing business. When you want to start a business, you must first think about how to cover up, how to get out, and be prepared for the worst possibility before you can start. Because businesses all rely on an idea to make money. It is often quick and easy to make money. On the other hand, it is also quick and easy to take the blame if something goes wrong. If you don’t have a good way out, you won’t get any good results.”

"But you are just worried about the garbage dump in the eastern suburbs, but you don't seem to have given it much thought. Have you thought about this matter, how to escape unscathed, and what to do if something goes wrong? People and money die for food. Death, the old saying is true, we must be more careful."

"You made some hard-earned money in the past, and no one could say anything. But once you make a lot, it won't be possible. What if you do a trick and expose the gang? If you make so much copper every day, over time, will you let it go? Will people be suspicious? Will it make people jealous? You can't play with the prince of hell, and you can feel comfortable for a while..."
