Pamper Eighties

Next, the old man Feng took his family around Shenzhen for a few times, read all the places to see, and ate all the things to eat. Only then did he plan to buy goods.

They took the bus outside the hotel and drove in the direction of Wutong Mountain. After passing through a large green forest, they came to Luofang Village.

This is an extremely remote small village, with farmland on both sides of the village, dotted with some low-rise bungalows, and looks particularly backward.

No one would have imagined that even such a remote small village could hide a huge underground market.

Just in front of the village, there is a clear stream that meanders through. This is the Liantang River. Across this river, on the other side is Hong Kong. There is a gate there, guarded by soldiers. Of course, the Feng family does not. They will run to the pass, and they will stop at the edge of the village.

The roads here are all dirt roads. They are trampled every day, and they have been crushed very firmly. There are many large and small trucks parked on both sides of the road, and rows of iron shacks have been built behind them. The legendary black market is here. here.

It is said to be a black market, but it is actually semi-open. There are a lot of people there. There are all kinds of small traders and shop owners. I heard that it was as lively as a vegetable market.

The goods sold here are all from Hong Kong, and there are also locals selling fruits here. The freshly marketed longan, lychee, guava, lotus mist and bananas are stacked into high fruit mountains, which look particularly attractive. It attracted many Hong Kong people who passed through the border. They chatted and laughed with the stall owners, and the Feng family couldn't understand what they were talking about.

Mrs. Feng stood on the side and looked curiously. This was the first time she saw Hong Kong people. Most of them were wearing round-neck smocks and jeans. They were carrying leather bags and watches. Wearing a gold necklace.

On the other hand, the stall owner across from them was wearing a tattered undershirt and a straw hat on his head, squatting on the ground to guard the stall, and there was a bicycle next to him. The contrast was too great, it was like people from two worlds. .

Madam Feng couldn't help but said, "These Hong Kong people must be living well."

"That's for sure," Old Man Feng echoed next to him: "Many of the items in our commissary are imported from Hong Kong. I heard from others that all Hong Kong people are big bosses, living in big houses and driving Cars, they are the richest people."

"Tsk tsk tsk," said Mrs. Feng, very puzzled, "I can't think of it, it's just across a door, why is the difference so big?"

Mengmeng looked at the barbed wire in the distance. She had seen it just now. These well-dressed Hong Kong people came from that pass. She looked at the dense woods behind the barbed wire, raised her head and asked, "Grandpa, where is Hong Kong in Hong Kong?" Behind the door?"

"Yes, that place is the pass, and after that pass is Hong Kong."

Old Man Feng said patiently: "Hong Kong used to be a place for us Chinese people, but it was taken away by the British devils. Look at those Hong Kong people, they look just like the people from our side."

Although the old man Feng is an ordinary person, he also has a patriotic heart, and he said with some emotion: "In the future, the country will be strong, and these places should be able to be taken back. I don't know if I can wait until that day."

Mengmeng was a little confused with her head tilted. She still couldn't figure out the relationship, but she said with a child's naive longing: "It's great, it's definitely possible, I still want to go to Hong Kong with my grandparents to play."

The old man Feng suddenly cheered, "We Mengmeng said yes, then absolutely yes, grandpa just wait."

The old lady Feng was immediately unhappy, she turned around, patted her old man hard, stared at her and said, "You **** old man, you can only talk nonsense, we Mengmeng are not goddesses, you give me your mouth. I'll be careful not to yell around."

Old man Feng also realized that it was not good, so he simply said: "You are right, I won't talk about this in the future."

In fact, the old couple have already discovered it, but anything Mengmeng likes must be a good thing. Her mouth is more powerful than a fairy. But if she hates someone, that person will soon be unlucky. There are too many things like this, and it can no longer be explained by luck.

Mrs. Feng and Mr. Feng couldn't figure it out no matter how they thought about it. In the end, they could only attribute it to God's care. Their Mengmeng's blessing was good.

Madam Feng pulled up Mengmeng and urged, "Stop talking nonsense here, take us to buy the goods, I want to see what's new."

"Come on, I'll take you there."

Old Man Feng led the way and came to the shanty area next to him. He introduced it in a clear way: "Old lady, don't look at the store here, it doesn't seem to be big, but it's deep inside. The warehouses are all at the back. If you like it, the owner will be able to arrange the goods immediately, you can see that there are bad guys around here, and their business is very good."

Even if he didn't say it, Mrs. Feng also found out that many of the stores here have workers. They are flexing their strength and carrying large boxes one after another. The trucks they saw outside are specially responsible for transporting goods.

The old man Feng didn't go to any other store, and took them into the largest one. On the surface, this store looked like an ordinary grocery store, where everything was sold, including food and drink. Yes, what to wear, all kinds of things, too many things to count.

But Mrs. Feng took a closer look and found clues. The items on these containers were all imported rarities, which made her eyes dazzled.

The old man Feng greeted them first: "The owner of this shop is called Baltouwei. We buy a lot of our products from him. He has a big business and a fair price. Many people are willing to buy from him. He buys it."

Bald-headed Wei is in the store. He has a strong build, a round face, and a smooth, shiny head. He speaks in such a loud voice that he can be heard shouting in the whole store. .

He turned around inadvertently, and caught a glimpse of the old man Feng, his face suddenly opened with a smile, he hurried up to meet him, opened his mouth and said in fluent Mandarin: "Brother Feng, welcome, welcome, today I have to bring My little brother has made a fortune, the goods in my store have just arrived, you can choose, and tell me if you like it, and I will still calculate it for you at the previous price."

Madam Feng looked at him coldly, and felt that this bald-headed Wei spoke very neatly. He should be someone who could communicate with each other. There were several employees in this store, and he could come over to say hello in person, which showed that he was very thoughtful in business.

She casually picked up a round plastic circle and asked the bald-headed Wei: "Boss, what is this thing? There are many colors, some of them are colorful, like a rainbow, there are big and small, this thing can do it. What?"

Baltouwei introduced enthusiastically: "This is a hula hoop, used to exercise the body. You put it on your waist and turn it around with it. I heard that it can thin your waist and turn it a few more times, which is good for your body."

Mengmeng stood by and heard it, she quietly took out a small hula hoop and tried it on her waist, and she was able to turn on the spot, her small waist twisted and twisted, driving the hula hoop to turn Round and round.

Mengmeng was so happy, she laughed arrogantly, and the hula hoop stopped accidentally, fell off her, and landed on the ground.

Bald-headed Wei said in amazement: "Oh, your granddaughter is not bad, she will turn around as soon as she gets it. She is much better than my good girl."

After praising Mengmeng, the bald head patted the old man Feng on the chest: "Brother Feng, believe me, this hula hoop is definitely the next new trend, there are already many people playing in Singapore, and Hong Kong is also popular. It will be spread to the mainland soon, you buy these hula hoop back, no one else has it, only you have it, and the banknotes are still coming?"

The old man Feng said very simply: "Okay, I'll listen to you. Your eyes are like Monkey Sun's, so I'll let you say it all the time."

"Hahaha, everyone says that I can do business with a bald head. Brother, you know me best. I can do this business because of my eyes, which is smarter than anyone else."

Bald-headed Wei pointed to his eyes and said that he was very proud. He pulled out a pair of pants from the shelf next to him, and threw them over and said, "This is also a new trend, elastic bodybuilding pants, which are taut when you wear them, dancing and doing exercises. You can wear it whenever you want, oh yes, and aerobics, you can also wear it.”

Old Man Feng asked curiously, "What is aerobics?"

"Uh..." The bald head stopped, of course he knew what aerobics was, but he couldn't describe it, and he couldn't jump, so he scratched his head in a hurry, and suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "Yes, just like thunderbolt. The dance is almost the same, it is very simple, you can learn it as soon as you learn it. I also have video tapes here, you can teach people to do aerobics, you can buy some and let your local people come to do aerobics, they should would like it."

Madam Feng thinks this idea is very reliable. Just like breakdance was popular before, the people in her village love freshness the most. By then, they will be wearing fitness pants, spinning hula hoops, and doing aerobics. Think about it. fashionable.

The Feng family has been shopping for a long time in the store, buying a lot of strange goods, including fashionable jackets, Coca-Cola soda, biscuits from the United States, various imported snacks, etc., etc., and buy everything. a lot.

They changed their plans and decided to charter a car from Shenzhen to Guangzhou, and then after purchasing the goods in Guangzhou, they could just follow the car home, which would save a lot of trouble.

After buying things, Bald Head Wei immediately shouted at the workers to pack the goods, put the goods into boxes, and instructed them to move the boxes to the truck outside. After finally finishing the work, they could finally settle the bill.

The old Feng family brought a lot of cash, and they paid the bills on the spot. Bald-headed Wei counted the banknotes very skillfully and gave them a list. Mengmeng's curious eyes kept following him. Bald, where did his hair go?

She looked at the bald head, and suddenly found a small red machine on his belt. It was about half the size of a palm. Screen.

Mengmeng's eyes widened and she stared at the machine for a while, and at this moment, the machine actually started beeping.

Bald-touwei took the machine in his hand very naturally. He looked at the screen, then stood up and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go outside and make a call first, and I'll bill you when I get back."

Bald-headed Wei walked out of the door of the store and came back after a while. The red machine was pinned to his belt again.

Old Man Feng was also very curious. He said with great interest: "Baldouwei, what is your machine? Why did you run out of it as soon as it rang?"

"You said this, the bp machine is specially used for sending messages. With it, it is much more convenient for me to do business. I used to call anyone I wanted to contact, but you know, it is impossible for everyone to be on the phone all the time. I'm guarding next to me, so I often can't find anyone, which is troublesome. Now it's different, as long as I have a bp machine on my body, no matter where I go, I can find someone."

Madam Feng said indifferently, "This machine is so powerful? How did it know you were here?"

The bald head took off the bp machine, pointed at it and said: "This is a high-tech imported from abroad, of course, it is amazing, do you see the English on it, Motorola, it is made in the United States, it costs thousands of dollars to sell one outside. Money, every machine has a number, if you want to find someone, just call that person's number, and he will know you are looking for him."

He handed the bp machine to Mrs. Feng, and continued: "Do you know the paging station? I pressed the number here, and the paging station on the telecom side can receive it immediately, and it will send this information to The person I'm looking for, let him call me back, and vice versa, it's that simple."

"Hey, this technology is really high, we are still writing letters, the Americans have already used the paging station and this bp machine."

Mrs. Feng carefully studied this bp machine. She didn't expect such an inconspicuous little machine to be able to accurately find people. It's really amazing, more amazing than anything.

Old Man Feng was already keenly aware of the business opportunities, so he tentatively said, "Baldouwei, where did you buy this bp machine? How much did it cost?"

"Do you want?" Bald-headed Wei glanced at them, and suddenly said happily: "That's really a coincidence, I just went out to make a phone call, and someone told me that a bp machine arrived, and it was sent directly from Hong Kong. How much do you want? If you want more, go to wholesale. If you only buy one, you have to go to retail. They sell for four or five thousand outside. If you are a regular customer, I will charge you one thousand, friendship price. "

The old man Feng took his shoulder and said, "Don't you know me? Since I dare to speak, of course I have to buy it. What is enough for one? ,What's the price?"

Bald-headed Wei also hugged his shoulders and lowered his voice: "Don't worry, I'll give you the cheapest price, these are all parallel imports, don't ask how they came from, in short, they're all authentic Motorolas, and I'll get the wholesale price. Give you one set for 300 yuan, you sell it and let them open an account in Telecom, you can easily earn more than ten times the price difference, and make money, but don’t forget my bald head, next time I come to you Gotta treat."

Old man Feng patted him on the shoulder and said, "You don't have to wait until next time, you can do it now, bald-headed prestige, you are so funny, brother, I can't be stingy, where do you want me to treat you to dinner? The rotation above the International Trade Building. Restaurant, let's go now, how about it?"

Unexpectedly, Bald Wei shook his head, he laughed heartily and said: "Hahaha, Brother Feng, you are too polite, I'm just talking, I know you're busy too, you wait first, I'll call me right away Old watch, let him bring the bp machine to you."

After the Feng family bought the bp machine and loaded two large trucks of goods, they went back to the hotel to get some things, and left Shenzhen quietly. A truck, which contains both the goods from the canteen and the souvenirs that Mengmeng brought to the family.

Because they took Mengmeng with them, they also found a hotel to rest on the way. After two days of bumpy rides in the car, they finally returned to Taoyuan Village.

Feng Yimin heard the movement in the brigade and ran out to see it. He ran to the front of the car and said, "Dad, you guys are back, where's Mengmeng?"

"Shh, don't bother her, she's sleeping soundly."

Madam Feng carefully hugged Mengmeng, got out of the car, and supported her eldest son: "Yimin, don't worry about those goods, take these boxes home first."
