Chapter 2: Want to make money?
Wang Lin could see the disappointment on the old man's face, but in the end the old man still gave Wang Lin twenty yuan to the private money that had been stored for a long time.
Two pieces of denominations are all gross tickets, and there are still many five points and one cent of denominations.
Twenty yuan is just one in later generations. If you pay New Year’s money to children, you will be disliked.
But in this home, this is a huge sum of money.
There were twenty or thirty people in the family, and there was not a single formal worker. They all rely on digging food from the ground to survive.
In this era, the salary of a state-owned enterprise workers was about 60 yuan, and those who worked longer and had a job of one or two, could still get nearly a hundred yuan.
So twenty yuan is a huge sum of money in the Wang family, but it is nothing outside.
A wave of warm heat hits my face. How to make a fortune with twenty yuan is something Wang Lin needs to consider.
My last life was to buy a ticket for twenty yuan to go to the south. After spending a year there, I finally got my assets of two thousand yuan.
Having seen the prosperity of the south and the business opportunities in short supply, Wang Lin naturally could not go directly to the south to start from scratch like he did in his previous life.
It is impossible to borrow money. Even if he begs his grandfather to sue his grandmother, no one can lend him money at this time. Wang Lin is not as good as the old man.
"Linzi, come down and catch fish!"
A river passed through the middle of the village and divided the entire village into two. Wang Lin's childhood friend Wang Bo was standing by the river with a bamboo basket on his back and shouting loudly towards Wang Lin.
Fishing?
Wang Lin was stunned for a moment, and then a huge surprise came.
In 1988, a year when inflation began to show its might since the reform and opening up, many big things happened this year.
For example, within three months of 7, 8, and 9, the total deposits of banks across the country decreased by 30 billion, causing severe market volatility.
The senior management had to intervene, but the results were still not ideal.
Although state-owned enterprises were allowed to sell excess capacity after completing planned production in the early years, it still cannot solve the current shortage of materials.
The most direct reason is that this year, the wages of state-owned enterprises have been fully increased.
A raise in wages means an increase in purchasing power, which was originally a good thing, but the above ignores the most serious problem.
Although there are many state-owned enterprises, they are spread all over China, and the additional production capacity cannot meet local needs at all.
The purchasing power of workers has increased sharply, but the number of goods in the market has not increased much, which has led to a decrease in the goods that ordinary people can purchase, which has caused a surge in prices.
The south has excess production capacity. As a pioneer area of reform and opening up, countless private enterprises have emerged.
However, the more serious problem is that goods from the south cannot be transported in large quantities and cannot meet the needs of the whole country.
Wang Lin has a deep understanding of this. His first bankruptcy and his family were destroyed.
In his previous life, Wang Lin was so stubborn that he was in a state of 5,000 yuan with two thousand yuan in starting funds. Within one year, that is, in 90 years, he increased his assets to five thousand yuan.
He also had connections, and when he encountered an opportunity, Wang Lin used 5,000 yuan to get 6,000 yuan from the clothing factory.
I was originally planning to show my strength, but the nightmare has just begun.
I had a stomachache during transportation, and then the truck driver ran away...
The road of the previous life still needs to be taken, but some changes are needed in terms of details.
Now that the outside is completely crazy, stocking up everywhere, some people buy 500 boxes of matches at one time, and some people buy ten boxes of laundry detergent directly. Everything sold in the store, whatever you can afford, regardless of whether it can be used temporarily. Anyway, it’s just one word, buy! Buy! Buy!
Material shortage does not mean a single material shortage, but a comprehensive material shortage. As long as you have goods, you just leave a fool there. As long as the fool knows how much money he should charge, you can make a lot of money even if you lie down.
Wang Lin quickly got up, ran to the river along the river embankment path, and looked at the fish in Wang Bo's small backpack.
Wang Lin has already seen the arrival of his first pot of gold.
The biggest loss I suffered in my previous life was because I was alone. If I could have someone with me at that time, it would be impossible for the truck driver to run away.
"Sanpi, do you want to make money?" Wang Bo grew up with him in open crotch pants. He is from the same village. He knows each other's own and his enemy. Wang Lin decided to join Wang Bo to work together.
As for why they didn't pull their cousin at home, Wang Lin felt that they would have the heart to beat him to death now, and it would be more convincing to take them with him when he became rich.
"Of course I want to!" Wang Bo was stunned for a moment, then nodded suddenly.
There are also some formal workers in the village, but more are unemployed young people. For example, people like Wang Bo who have not graduated from elementary school, either go to the fields to work or go to the river to catch fish all day long.
I just dream about making money, but the problem is that I don’t have this brain at all.
"I have an idea that I can definitely make money, or not?" Wang Lin gave a positive statement without hesitation.
"No..." Wang Bo shook his head suddenly: "I don't have money..."
"No money!" Wang Lin smiled and continued, "You only need to put in some effort. Then we two are half apart!"
"You...you didn't ask me to rob, are you?" Wang Bo was so scared that he retreated repeatedly. The only way to avoid money was probably the only way to rob? That's illegal and will lose his head.
"That's not! Even if you want to rob, I have to stop you, otherwise I will not report it and indulge in crimes. In serious cases, it will still be an accomplice." Wang Lin smiled happily, Sanpi's simplicity made him feel a long-lost feeling.
"Isn't it illegal?" Wang Bo couldn't believe it. If he didn't break the law, he wouldn't have money. So what would he make money?
"Is it illegal for you to catch fish in the river?" Wang Lin smiled and pointed at the fish in Wang Bo's backpack.
"It's not illegal..."
"That's all, there are fish and snails in the river. Let's exchange these for money!"
"Fish can be exchanged for some money, snails are not worth anything..." Wang Bo thought for a while. No one ate the snails. Even if they were rural people, they would barely eat some when they couldn't find anything to eat.
There are so many things in the river that no one wants.
Wang Lin smiled, why are snails worthless?
Anything will increase value after processing. Snails cannot be used as staple food, but they can be eaten as snacks.
Wang Lin is not a chef, and his cooking skills can only be said to be average, but there is no problem dealing with the simple people of this era.
In fact, this is how business is like. There are only people who can’t sell it, and there are no goods that cannot be sold.
After all, he was a human being for two lifetimes. After thirty years of experience, it is not difficult for me to discover business opportunities.
"Whether it is worth it to you is a waste of two days, just putting some more effort..."
