The Era of Hard Work

  Chapter 45 Speculation (recommend vote)

   Lu Dong took off his wallet and put it on the dining table: "All the money from the sale is here."

  Hu Chunlan looked at the bulging wallet and knew that she had made a lot of money. She took it and opened it, and it was full of money.

  Ten pieces, five pieces, two pieces, one piece, and some change, each stacked in a thick stack.

   There are a dozen or so even for a hundred.

  Hu Chunlan habitually took out a stack and started counting. The more she counted, the more frightened she became. After three stacks, her hands were shaking.

   It’s not that you haven’t seen money!

   But there was too much water on this day!

   Putting down the last stack of change, Hu Chunlan fell silent.

   "Mom?" Lu Dong asked.

  Hu Chunlan rubbed her face and said, "4561 yuan." She specifically asked, "It's all today?"

   Lu Dong replied, "All of them."

   This counts Wang Qian's 500 compensation.

   In addition to the necessities such as motorcycles and trailers, I left a little money for daily emergencies. The rest of Lu Dong's money was used to purchase goods, which almost sold out today.

   His price is basically double the purchase price.

  This business with no competition is too profitable to do. Originally, Lu Dong thought he could sell goods for two to three days, but he only insisted on it for one day.

   When he first came back, Lu Dong asked at the school gate. The number of freshmen registered today is nearly 1,000, and there may be more tomorrow.

   Lu Dong has a general impression that at most 200 items can be bought from him.

  The rest, either bring your own equipment or spend on campus.

   He has indeed intercepted a considerable part of the traffic of the school store, but there are also a lot of people who choose to consume in the school. As for the woman who comes to the door?

  It is useless to think about these troubles, life goes on, and there are more stalls.

   Lu Dong finished the meal quickly and said, "Mom, do you need money? Don't I take it all to buy it today."

  Hu Chunlan stuffed the money back into her bag and asked, "Do you still want to go to this point?"

Lu Dong said, "A lot of students ordered goods from me and went to get them early in the morning. I called the owner of the wholesale market. He will be waiting tonight." He asked again, "I remember someone in the village had a truck, and I hired a a car."

  There is no way, drivers in the city are easily afraid to go to the village.

   The security situation has indeed reached the point where a severe crackdown is absolutely necessary.

  Hu Chunlan said: "Your uncle Tie just bought a second-hand truck to pull feed."

  Thinking of Uncle Tie, the struggle with him, when the West Market arrived, Lu Dong asked, "Someone else?"

  Hu Chunlan thought for a while: "Red Star seems to have replaced the tractor with small goods at the beginning of the month, and spends every day at the county market."

  The sky started to get dark, Lu Dong rushed to the village and found Hong Xing's house, and a small truck was parked in front of the door.

   Lu Dong talked to Hong Xing roughly, the two negotiated a good price, and hurried to Quannan.

   "Hurry up while it's early." Hong Xing drove out of the village and said to Lu Dong, "A little later, the road will not be safe."

   He added: "Let's try our best to take the road."

   Lu Dong agreed: "Okay, you old driver, you are more familiar than me." He asked: "I may have often run to Quannan in the evening or in the morning for the past half month. Are you free? Let's run long distances when you are free."

  Red Star thought for a while and said, "Not tomorrow, someone from my grandma gets married tomorrow night and is going to take the dowry. No problem at other times."

   This can’t be forced, Lu Dong said tomorrow that tomorrow, the amount of goods pulled today might be enough to sell in two days.

  It really doesn't work, so I went to borrow Uncle Tie's car, remembering that Uncle Seven has a book.

   rushed all the way to the west market, picked up Tang Wei and went directly to the warehouse. This time, the goods that Lu Dong asked for was double the total amount before. Tang Wei was very concerned and specially asked two guys to help with the goods.

  The warehouse was brightly lit. Tang Wei stood under the lamp, waving his bright watch and asked, "Business is good?"

   In this special period, Lu Dong certainly won't tell the truth: "There is a huge demand for daily necessities in rural areas. By the way, keep more sunscreen."

   "Okay!" Tang Wei smiled and said, "Am I right? Buy more goods and work for two more years, and you can buy a car and a house in the city like me."

   Lu Dong followed his words and said, "Leverage Vigo's auspicious words."

"This person must have big goals and big pursuits." Tang Wei deliberately shook his watch under the light again: "Have you seen my watch? It's worth a house! Where did my money come from? Just sell these Here comes the gadget."

   Lu Dong said with a smile: "Vigo is still amazing."

  Tang Wei is also smiling: "Work hard, buy more, and sooner or later I will have the scale."

  The two guys finished sorting the goods, Lu Dong went over to check the goods, confirmed that there was no problem, paid the money and left.

   It was almost ten o'clock in the evening when he got home. After unloading the cargo and loading the truck, Lu Dong hurried back to take a shower and go to bed. After a busy day, even if he was young and strong, he was tired and sleepy.

   Earning money is real, happiness is real, tiredness and suffering are real.

   But if you don’t pay, how can you get a reward? Can't just sit in the yard with your mouth open and wait for the pie to fall from the sky?

  Things will fall from the sky, such as bird droppings.

   At dawn, Lu Dong got up on time, ate and packed up, and went to the river bank to catch a new ticklish hottie.

   Hunters are insecure without pets.

  Light Beastmaster's power is too small, thinking of what happened yesterday, he found a stick and put it on the drag bucket.

   Lu Dong asked the old lady to prepare lunch for the two of them, and then rode on Xiaojialing, dragging the bucket to the university town.

  Pull the banners, place the goods and turn on the horn, and the construction officially started today.

  Qiao Weiguo came earlier than expected and came over by bicycle before seven o'clock. After yesterday's incident, Lu Dong was not polite to him.

   At 7:30, it is estimated that after breakfast in the school, the stalls began to serve people. Most of them were students. Many people who had made an appointment with Lu Dong yesterday came to pick up the goods.

   There was a large circle of people in front of the booth.

   In the early morning, Lu Dong was sweating profusely, and even Lu Chun and Wang Chao came over to say hello.

   In addition to going to the toilet at the construction site, what he did this morning can be summed up in three words: ordering goods, collecting money, and giving change.

   What's going on in the school store, Lu Dong doesn't know, anyway, he's too busy here.

   It was not until lunch time, when the booth was free, Lu Dong hurried to fetch water, his lips were dry and peeling, and his throat was smoking.

  Behind the booth, near the fence of the construction site, a voice suddenly came: "Okay, Dongzi, we did a good job of speculating! One day we were attacked, and we couldn't even find a wife!"

   Lu Dong turned his head: "Seventh Uncle?"

   There were three people sitting on the broken bricks in front of the enclosure. One of them was holding an enamel pot in his left hand and a spoon and steamed buns in his right.

   Lu Jianren swallowed the food in his mouth, and said in a consistent tone: "Before you put it away, you will focus on attacking the target, and you will be a bachelor for the rest of your life."

   Lu Dong ignored these words and asked, "Why are you here?"

   Lv Jianren snorted: "I heard Mr. Li say that you are here, but I still don't believe it. Hey, you kid, you are really running on this speculation."

   Lu Dong smiled: "You can't be idle."

   "This is Xiaoguang, this is the Red Soldier." Lv Jianren shook his head and gestured to the young people on the left and right: "My new apprentice."

   He specially warned: "I'm not there for something, go to the construction site and call them."

   Lu Dong understood what he meant: "Okay."

   Lu Jianren finished eating, stood up and patted his butt, and said, "I won't talk to you, go back as soon as possible after selling things, be careful to let the robbery."

  Lu Dong thought of something: "Seventh Uncle, are you free at night? Drive me to Quannan to order some goods."

  This morning, anti-mosquito supplies were selling very fast, and many students were full of bags.

   Lv Jianren didn't look back: "You can just find the car."

   He dragged the soles of his shoes and walked away.

   Lu Dong gave the two apprentices one more look.

   With Uncle Seven's craftsmanship, it is more than enough to bring apprentices, but the problem is that it is easy to learn crookedly.

  Who knew that they would learn to be skilled craftsmen, rebar workers or electric welders, or would they be good at catching birds, fish and rabbits?

   Lu Dong found the lunch Hu Chunlan had prepared, and handed one of the convenient pockets to Qiao Weiguo: "Eat lunch while no one is there, and have a rest."

  Qiao Weiguo rubbed his bald head, then smiled embarrassedly and said, "I forgot to bring food."

   Lu Dong said, "Try it first."

  Qiao Weiguo opened the bag and found a sesame cake with meat in it. He took a bite and his mouth was full of oil and fragrance.

   "It's delicious." He said honestly: "It's delicious with meat."

   Lu Dong sat on the horse, chewing and swallowing slowly. Although he drank water, his throat was still dry and uncomfortable.

   Money is not easy to earn.

   Enduring the discomfort in his throat, Lu Dong ate the biscuits, otherwise he would not have the strength to work in the afternoon.

   After dinner, taking advantage of the fact that there were few people, he went back to pick up the goods twice in succession, and also asked Hu Chunlan to ask about Aunt Tie’s car.

  Unfortunately, the three companies where the uncle works are only responsible for a small part of the construction site, otherwise they can rent a warehouse.

   With the increase in the number of new students entering the school, the strong purchasing demand broke out in a short period of time. In the afternoon, in front of Lv Dong's stall, no one dropped double digits.

   The sky was dark and there were still a lot of people, so Lu Dong turned on the charging lights that he had prepared earlier.

  There are universities starting, and the street lights on Xuefu Road and Wenhua Road are also on.

   At eight o'clock, the last customer was sent away. Lv Dong said goodbye to Qiao Weiguo, got on the car and hurried back. The goods bought yesterday were not sold out, but they were not enough for tomorrow, so he needed to make another trip to Quannan.

Back in the orchard, Lv Jianren was already waiting for him: "I heard from your mother, you want to borrow a Tie Rooster car, so hurry up. When I came over, Lao Tie went to the village to play poker, and I asked your aunt to borrow it. Make sure you do! Wait, Lao Tie. Come back, if you give him 200 yuan, he won't lend it to you."

   Lu Dong thought about this, put on the steamed buns, pickles and a bottle of water and left.

   Lv Jianren took two sticks with long arms: "It will be useful to put it on the car for a while."

   Lu Dong agreed: "It's too late, the road is not safe."

   "Let's go back to the north of the university town." Lv Jianren told him completely different things: "I have seen it specially, there are many dogs there, they often run on the road, try to hit one, and then make up for the stick."

  Lu Dong was speechless: "Uncle Seven, can we do something serious?"

  Uncle Seven is working on a construction site in a university town, or is he researching something else?

   Lu Jianren slumped his shoulders and said as a matter of course, "This is the business!"

When the two came to the chicken farm, Lu Dong told Aunt Tie, Aunt Tie was very happy and gave the car key to Lu Jianren.

   This is a 60% new big head car, Lv Jianren's stick is in the cab, and Lv Dong gets on the co-pilot.

After leaving the chicken farm, Lu Dong said, "Seventh Uncle, go to the gas station when you come back." He yawned, took out a pack of cigarettes, opened it up and gave Lv Jianren one, and put the rest where he reached out. : "Are you taking a root to refresh yourself?"

  Lu Jianren clicked and asked, "I will come back and cheer for Lao Tie? I earn a lot."

   The car flickered, and Lu Dong's eyelids were a little heavy, and he even yawned: "It's okay."

   There should be more than 250 people who bought things today, definitely over 5,000.

   Lv Jianren exhaled a cigarette: "You kid, you have a good heart, you still keep a hand with me, don't think about it, your seventh uncle will be speculating?"

   Before waiting for Lu Dong to speak, he added: "We don't have to say it ourselves, we must keep a hand and guard against people outside."
