I looked at my father Jackie Chan in 1988

In the small county towns of the 80s, there were still very few cars. At most, bicycles were popular, and buses were one of the most important means of transportation.

Afraid of wasting time, Ji Sheng asked someone to ask about the bus stop, but the answer he got was that he could just stand on the side of the road and reach out to stop the bus when he saw it.

This made him sweat a little.

Ji Sheng is very unfamiliar with this era, and he doesn't know if he can really "hire" a bus as others said.

He stood by the side of the road and waited for a while.

After waiting for a long time, about half an hour, Ji Sheng thought that there was no bus going to the countryside today.

Suddenly, an articulated bus with a super long body and an organ-like center drove past.

Ji Sheng wasn't sure if it was a bus, but he still reached out to stop it.

Fortunately the car stopped.

He climbed into the car.

The female conductor carrying a military green satchel asked, "Where are you going?"

"Minqiang Town."

"piece."

"Oh."

Ji Sheng paid the money, but he was secretly astounded that the ticket was expensive. In modern society, it only cost him two yuan to take the bus from the county town back to the town, but now it costs one yuan. It has to be said that it is extremely expensive.

He originally wanted to walk inside to find a seat to sit down, but at a glance, the car was full of people.

Well, the seats are definitely gone, so stand still.

Ji Sheng could only lean against the car door.

The bus made a "creaking" sound and started.

The county seat is quite far from Minqiang Town, about [-] kilometers away.

The car stopped and went all the way, and it took four to ten minutes to arrive.

Ji Sheng was almost confused.

……

get off.

Walk north along the country gravel road.

About ten minutes later, Ji Sheng came to his grandparents' house.

Before he walked in, he heard several voices coming out.

Ji Sheng walked to the door, poked his head inside, and saw several familiar figures.

They were all neighbors he was familiar with, Grandma Zhu next door, Grandma Wu behind, and two uncles from the same family.

Grandparents are having dinner.

On the contrary, Ji Aiguo seemed to have finished eating, and sat chatting with his two uncles at the door.

Grandma Zhu and Grandma Wu both carried their rice bowls.

Many women in rural areas like to rush to the door with their rice bowls in their hands. After all, they have been busy all day, and they have to wash the pots and dishes after eating, so they have more time to eat.

"Yo, big brother, you're here." Ji Aiguo noticed Ji Sheng immediately, stopped talking to Ji Sheng's two uncles, stood up and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

Ji Sheng didn't eat dinner, but for some reason, he didn't feel any hunger at this moment, so he said, "I ate."

"Have some more Xiao Ji?"

"I asked your aunt to serve you porridge?"

The grandparents and grandparents are very enthusiastic.

Ji Sheng waved his hand, "Thank you uncle and aunt, I won't eat the meal, I'll talk to Ji Aiguo about something."

Ji Aiguo hurriedly asked: "What's the matter?"

The two uncles of the same family also looked over.

Although Grandma Zhu and Grandma Wu didn't speak, they pricked up their ears when they were gossiping.

It's not a secret, Ji Sheng didn't hide it, so Ji Aiguo moved a stool for himself and sat down at the door, saying: "Oh, I found a way to get rich recently, I want to ask if you have any Let’s do it together.”

Before Ji Aiguo could speak, Ji Qing, the third uncle of the same family who was missing a tooth next to him, asked curiously, "What is the way to get rich?"

Ji Sheng glanced at it, and said what he had thought about a long time ago, "I got a batch of wall calendars, and I wondered if it's almost Chinese New Year, and this thing should sell better, so I came to Ji Aiguo."

"Calendar?" Grandma Wu snorted while holding her rice bowl, "How many people can't afford to eat these days, who spends so much money on a wall calendar?"

Grandma Zhu said: "That's right, I've heard people say that this thing costs about ten yuan a copy."

Grandparents also cast doubtful eyes, but they didn't dismantle Ji Sheng in public, and they didn't open their mouths from the beginning to the end.

Seeing everyone's mistrustful eyes, Ji Sheng took the initiative to explain: "Except for people getting married and adding a calendar as a dowry in our countryside, other people must be reluctant to buy it, but it doesn't mean that there is no one in the county. Yes, those who are self-employed and drive taxis to make a fortune, there are a lot of people who want it, and I sold more than [-] copies of it today, no, it will be sold out in a while."

Wall calendars are not rare items nowadays, but definitely not every household can have them.

When Ji Sheng checked the Internet before coming here, he saw that someone introduced the status of wall calendars in the current era, which can be used as a dowry gift, and it is more face-saving.

Well, calendars with torn pages aren't worth the money.

"Is it true?" Grandma Zhu still didn't believe it.

Grandma Wu also said something sarcastic, "If you want things that are so easy to sell, won't everyone get rich by doing business?"

Ji Sheng couldn't help laughing, things are really easy to sell in the current era, the word "going to the sea" in the 80s was a national craze, and many people made a lot of money doing business.

The key is that many people do not have a source of goods, and even if they want to do business, they cannot do it.

He knew that Grandma Zhu and Grandma Wu were talkative and didn't respond, but just looked at Ji Aiguo, "Dad...brother, do you want to make a fortune with me?"

Here Ji Aiguo still didn't have time to speak, so Ji Qing hurriedly said, "Take me one."

Uncle Wutang Ji Min also said: "Count me in as well."

Only then did Ji Aiguo have the opportunity to speak. Unlike the two uncles, he said something that moved Ji Sheng deeply, "Whether you can make money or not, I will do whatever you say, big brother."

This is absolute trust!

Ji Sheng knew that his father had saved his life before, so he believed in him from the bottom of his heart. He thought it would take a lot of rhetoric, but he didn't expect it to be so simple. He glanced at Grandma Zhu and Grandma Wu who still wanted to say something , for fear that the matter would be disturbed by these two people, "Okay, then let's find a quiet place and talk slowly."

"Come on, let's talk in the back room." Ji Aiguo stood up and said.

Ji Sheng had no objection, and Ji Min and Ji Qing followed Ji Aiguo into the back room.

Close the door.

There was only a small square stool in the room, the kind that could only sit one person, and because he wanted to talk about something, Ji Sheng did his part to pull him to sit down.

Ji Aiguo, Ji Min and Ji Qing sat on the edge of the bed, and all three of them stared at him.

Ji Sheng thought about his excuses, and then he said: "You also know that the Chinese New Year is approaching. Wall calendars are a hot commodity. Generally, only regular stores can get them from the manufacturer. The purchase price is still very expensive, right?"

"Yes." Ji Qing nodded.

Ji Sheng continued, "As for me, I met a director of a calendar factory by chance, and I was able to get some small batches of calendars from him. The quantity is not too many, up to 20 copies per day, just because I am not serious from the factory. I bought it from here, so the time to get the goods is a bit irregular, and sometimes you have to sneak to get the goods in the middle of the night, if you really want to do it with me, it is very likely that I will knock on the door in the middle of the night and wake you up."

Ji Aiguo stated without hesitation, "As long as it is something you ask me to do, let alone in the middle of the night, even if I go out to work, as long as I receive your message, I will definitely come back to help as soon as possible."

Ji Sheng looked at the other two, "What about you?"

"I'm fine too." Ji Qing replied.

Ji Min hesitated for a moment, "I live with my parents, it's a bit inconvenient at night, but you can put the calendar at Aiguo or Xiaoqing first, and I'll get it early in the morning."

That's fine too.

Ji Sheng nodded and said, "Okay, since you all think it's okay, let me talk about other aspects."

The three people sitting on the bed listened to him attentively.

Ji Sheng said unhurriedly: "I get six yuan a copy of the calendar from the factory, but I can't do business without money, so the price I give you is seven yuan a copy, and you can sell it in the county town later. It can be sold for eight or nine yuan, but it’s better not to exceed nine yuan, because the store only sells it for ten yuan.”

Speaking of Qian Jiqing, he said helplessly, "Brother, what should I do if I don't have money?"

Ji Sheng laughed and said, "It's okay, you guys sell the calendar first, and if you get the money, give it to my dad... just give brother patriotism, and get it from him when I come back later."

"That's a good thing." Ji Qing's eyes lit up.

Ji Min also laughed, "Aren't we doing business without money? We can make money if we sell it, and it's okay if we don't sell it."

"Yes." Ji Sheng agreed: "Ji Aiguo and I are brothers, so we must not cheat you."

Ji Aiguo patted Ji Qing on the shoulder, "I told you that my elder brother is real, right?"

"Brother is indeed true."

"Hey, this kind of no-cost business can't be found anywhere in the world, brother, you are so interesting."

Both Ji Qing and Ji Min were full of praise for Ji Sheng's character.

"Okay, stop flattering me." Ji Sheng interrupted them with a smile, "I'll tell you where to sell calendars and when is the best time."

He roughly explained it.

It is nothing more than rushing to several large vegetable farms in the county before five or six in the morning and around four in the evening.

These two time periods are when the traffic is the most, and things are easy to sell.

Ji Aiguo, Ji Qing and Ji Min all remembered it firmly.

After talking about the matter, Ji Qing rubbed his fists and said, "A calendar can earn at least one yuan, my eldest brother can get twenty copies a day, and our brothers can earn at least twenty yuan a day. Seven or eight yuan is better than working in a factory."

Ji Min poured cold water on it with some worry, "Then it must be able to sell all of them." He laughed to himself, "I'm not greedy, earning two or three yuan a day is enough."

Ji Aiguo, however, has great confidence in Ji Sheng, "Brother said he would make us rich, and the things will definitely sell, no problem."

Ji Sheng couldn't help showing a smile when he heard that, he didn't have confidence in this matter before, but after selling a wall calendar at a vegetable market stall in the evening, he knows that business is indeed very good in this era.

No wonder it was said on the Internet later that the 90s was full of gold, as long as you can get something, you are not afraid that you will not be able to sell it.

This is not a joke. The per capita salary of workers in the current era is 100 to [-] yuan, but TVs are sold for [-] to [-] yuan. People's homes are actively buying.

The three of them finished chatting and went out.

As soon as the door was opened, Grandma Zhu and Grandma Wu sent word of warning to grandparents.

"You have to be careful, don't let patriotism fool you."

"That's right, it's a person's business to be deceived by patriotism. It's not good for Xiaoqing and Xiaomin to be deceived later. I don't think that person is a good person."

Ji Aiguo wanted to defend Ji Sheng, so he opened his mouth to speak, "Don't slander people blindly..."

Ji Sheng stretched out his hand to stop him, not annoyed at all, "We don't need to explain anything to them, let the facts speak for themselves."
