Qianhua Furniture Factory.
Li Jie is leading a group of educated youths to help unload the goods. After all, they are not employees of the factory, nor do they belong to the factory. They also want to learn their skills, so being diligent will never go amiss.
"Brother Tu, are you following the car again today?"
At the door of the warehouse, Li Jie took out a box of Feiyan, skillfully dusted out a cigarette and handed it to a crew-cut man in work clothes.
"yes."
The crew-cut man nodded cheerfully, wiped his hands with the towel around his neck, and then took the cigarette.
Ding!
There was a clear sound of flint hitting, and the crew-cut man moved forward, lighting his cigarette with half-squinted eyes.
"This lighter is beautiful!"
Tu Zhiqiang took a deep drag on the cigarette and gave a thumbs up.
Li Jie leaned against the truck, puffed out smoke, and responded with a smile.
"I asked a friend to bring it from outside. If Brother Tu wants it, I'll ask my friend to bring one back next time."
The person in front of me was none other than Tu Zhiqiang, who worked in the lumber factory.
The two met entirely by chance.
At the beginning of the year, Xiaoqingshan Village and Qianhua Furniture Factory formally established a support relationship. In order to help brother units, Qianhua Furniture Factory helped train 30 qualified workers for free.
The 'apprentices' in Xiaoqingshan Village should have free expenses during their study period.
Soon, Li Jie brought the apprentices from Xiaoqingshan Village to Jichun City.
Three months have passed and everything is on track. Everyone has adapted to life in the furniture factory. If they are free, they will help unload the goods.
Once, Li Jie recognized Tu Zhiqiang, an employee of the lumber factory, and after deliberately getting acquainted, the two quickly became familiar with each other.
"Okay, bring me one later."
As he talked, Tu Zhiqiang took out a stack of cents from his pocket while holding a cigarette.
"How much does it cost? I'll give you the money."
Tu Zhiqiang's monthly salary is more than thirty, and he is not married, so he is quite generous when it comes to spending money.
Although the little brother in front of him liked him very much, he didn't want to take advantage of him. It was just a lighter, and it probably didn't cost much.
Li Jie deliberately hesitated for a while, then paused and continued.
"Fifteen dollars each."
? ?
Hearing the price, Tu Zhiqiang couldn't help but froze. As soon as he opened his mouth, the cigarette in his mouth fell.
Fifteen dollars?
Is this lighter made of gold or silver?
A small lighter cost him half a month's salary.
No wonder Tu Zhiqiang was so surprised. In later generations, it would be equivalent to a lighter costing several thousand yuan.
Ordinary people will definitely not be able to accept this price.
Tu Zhiqiang glanced at the lighter in Li Jie's hand again, with its shiny appearance, carefully carved moiré patterns, and the crisp sound of flint.
I have to admit, this lighter is really awesome.
It's more of a work of art than a lighter.
At this moment, a picture emerged in Tu Zhiqiang's mind. Under the dim light, Xiao Shui's face flickered.
Suddenly, there was a crisp impact sound, followed by a ray of fire.
Xiao Shui lit a cigarette very coolly, and with his melancholy expression, the picture would be beautiful.
Thinking of this, Tu Zhiqiang felt excited and was ready to buy it.
Fifteen dollars, fifteen dollars!
Isn’t it just half a month’s salary?
Money is something that you will not bring with you when you are alive, and you will not take it with you after death. You can spend it as you should.
It just so happened that Xiao Shui's birthday was coming soon, and this lighter was given to him as a birthday present.
"Bingkun, I don't have enough money with me today, so I'll give you five yuan as a deposit first, and I'll give you the rest later."
Tu Zhiqiang took out two "turners" and one tractor from a pile of tickets.
"become."
Li Jie nodded, took the money and put it into his trouser pocket.
In fact, he is not the kind of person who deliberately shows off. He took out this lighter for a purpose.
It was true that he asked someone to bring the lighter from the south, but the price was not fifteen yuan, but twenty-five yuan.
He asked someone to bring two of them, one for personal use and one for fishing.
This fish is naturally Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin.
His current life trajectory has deviated from the original work. He did not go to work in the lumber factory, but became an educated youth.
If you don’t go to the lumber factory, you won’t know Tu Zhiqiang.
Originally, he was planning to get to know Tu Zhiqiang through other channels. Who would have thought that the plan would change.
An unexpected encounter led him to meet Tu Zhiqiang.
After accepting the money, Li Jie directly pressed the lighter into Tu Zhiqiang's hand.
"Brother Tu, you can play with this first."
"Well……"
Tu Zhiqiang looked at Li Jie blankly, he was surprised.
Just give him the second-hand one. This is not the little brother's style.
If it was for his own use, it would be no problem to use a second-hand one, but he was going to give this lighter away.
It's always a shame to give away second-hand things.
"Brother Tu, don't get me wrong."
Li Jie smiled and waved his hand: "I see you like it, so you can take it and play with it first. When the new lighter arrives, you can just return it to me."
Hearing this, Tu Zhiqiang suddenly realized that he was judging the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart, so he took the initiative to mention it.
"Sure, then I won't be polite."
"When you have a day off, tell me and I'll treat you to a drink."
"good."
Li Jie was not polite and agreed directly.
If nothing else happens, there will definitely be more than just the two of them drinking next time, one of Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin will definitely appear.
Even two people will appear at the same time.
The two of them don't have serious jobs now. Whenever they have free time, they go walking around the streets and do small business.
In the past, they could be salesmen or traders, but now, they are just speculators and poachers of socialism.
If you are caught, you will be jailed.
Of course, risk and profit are often positively correlated. Although speculation is illegal, the profit is not small.
Otherwise, people like Luo Shibin and Shui Ziliu would not take risks.
Unlike the self-employed people of later generations, they do not have a fixed livelihood now. They just sell whatever is easy to sell and whatever makes money.
Although the lighter that Li Jie just took out is very expensive, a small lighter costs a worker half a month's salary.
But there is no shortage of rich people in any era, and there is no shortage of people who pursue trends.
This lighter was carefully selected by Li Jie and is absolutely fashionable. When young people gather, whoever takes out the lighter will be the most beautiful person in the room.
Therefore, lighters are expensive, but as long as you find the right way, you will definitely have no worries about sales.
In addition, those who can afford this kind of lighter are probably not ordinary people, and sometimes it may bring unexpected gains.
Like breaking into a certain circle or something.
