Make A Billion In The 80s - Chatper 147
He didn’t know how many times he had recited these few words, but now he said them very fluently.
The driver sitting in the front seat suddenly let out a “huh”, turned his head curiously, narrowed his eyes and looked at the gold pen in Qiu Mingquan’s hand.
“Madam, it’s this kind of box. I went to a few big shopping malls a few days ago, and they all said they were out of stock.”
Liu Shuyan was a little surprised, reached out to take the gold pencil case in Qiu Mingquan’s hand, and opened it.
That’s right, on the body of the beautiful golden pen, the golden eagle with wings spreads proudly, and the hero logo is clearly engraved on the top, showing good workmanship and quality control.
I wanted to buy gold pens for my son and Xiang’s two children, so I asked the driver to go around, but it was too late.
But why is it such a coincidence today that someone came to sell it?
Noticing her surprise, Qiu Mingquan hastily explained: “Auntie, I just took the winter vacation to sell some stationery to lighten the burden on my family. I guarantee that this gold pen is genuine, and I just bought it from a boutique mall.”
Liu Shuyan looked at his shabby coat and frayed cuffs, and suddenly felt amazed. Seeing this child’s well-behaved appearance and clear voice, she couldn’t help feeling overwhelmed with maternal love.
At a young age, at most he was about the same age as his son, but he was already going to the streets and trying to make a living.
She took a small leather bag from her side: “How much is one? I want three.”
Qiu Mingquan was startled: I really want three.
“Twenty-eight yuan each.” Qiu Mingquan waited for a while, but unexpectedly he didn’t hear Feng Rui’s instructions, and he didn’t wait for the agreed upon agreement, so he could only answer according to the past price.
Liu Shuyan smiled softly, counted eighty-five yuan without haggling, and handed it to Qiu Mingquan outside the window.
Qiu Mingquan searched frantically for a long time before he found a coin. Just as I was about to pass it through the car window, I accidentally dropped the coin on the ground, and it rolled round and I don’t know where it went.
“You don’t need to look for it, that’s all.” Seeing him anxious, Liu Shuyan couldn’t bear it.
“I found it!” Qiu Mingquan pouted his butt, finally found the shiny coin under the chassis of the car, and stretched out his hand in surprise, “Auntie, here you are!…”
But at this moment, a shadow shrouded from the direction of the setting sun, covering the originally good light.
“Where is the little beggar coming from?…” A cold and arrogant voice sounded, with the clarity of a boy’s voice, within a few steps, it seemed very close, but also seemed a little far away.
“Feng Rui, what are you talking about?” Liu Shuyan scolded, opened the car door, and greeted her son who just finished the English tutoring class.
…Feng Rui. Which core, which seal?
Qiu Mingquan froze suddenly! It seemed that something exploded in his heart.
He raised his head with difficulty, and saw a face that made him feel like a thunderbolt.
With handsome eyebrows and bright eyes, the eyes are like stars, and the straight bridge of the nose is as if carved out by a knife.
With his back facing the cold winter sunset, the handsome young man was half a head taller than Qiu Mingquan. When he looked down at him, his mother’s eyes were as beautiful as his mother’s. There was no tenderness of Liu Shuyan, but a kind of impatient arrogance.
Although there was no preparation, Qiu Mingquan already understood one thing after this glance.
The blood-stained face of the CEO Feng he saw before he died in the previous life was still astonishingly handsome, and it perfectly matched the appearance of this handsome young man at this moment.
… Time sculpts, people’s hearts change, what remains unchanged is each other’s faces when they were young.
Winter vacation in January 1988.
In the evening of this day, the young Feng Rui, Qiu Mingquan and Xiang Cheng met for the first time.
The encounters in life are so wonderful, an ordinary day in the long river of life, but after a long time, because of everything that happened that day, it becomes easy to mark, so that after many years, it is firmly engraved in the hearts of several people.
Feng Rui frowned his handsome eyebrows, and looked at the strange boy in front of him.
The clothes were very old, and her little face was flushed and a little chapped from the cold, but her brows were clean and delicate, and her pair of dark eyes were looking at her without blinking.
The setting sun was shining from the west, and every subtle expression change on this strange boy’s face could be seen clearly.
Yes, it was that strange expression—shock at first, bewilderment after that, and finally, surprise that was about to be said.
The young Feng Rui and Qiu Mingquan stood face to face like this, time seemed to have paused for a moment, but there was no distortion between them, and nothing strange happened.
Until Qiu Mingquan’s eyes suddenly and inadvertently fell on the slightly exposed red on Feng Rui’s chest.
Something flashed in his mind like a flash, he stared at the boy’s neck opposite him, and his breathing became short of breath.
As if bewitched, he reached out his hand unexpectedly, grabbed Feng Rui’s collar, and pulled gently!
The gentle Hetian white jade, with a crystal-clear color, has an emerald green in the middle… It is exactly the same, and it is connected with the flowing brilliance entangled inside. These days, it is also hanging on his chest, and it is often touched, so familiar!
That’s right, this is the young Feng Rui. He had been wearing this family heirloom jade pendant next to his body in his previous life, and it was only when he died that he accidentally tore it off.
So the one you brought back? …Qiu Mingquan clutched his chest blankly.
Suddenly, he vibrated, what’s going on? What about the jade pendant on his chest that he brought back from his previous life? !
No, just no! Even the rope around the neck suddenly disappeared, as if it had never appeared before.
“Little thief, put down Brother Rui’s jade pendant!” Just when he was feeling helpless and his mind went blank, suddenly a clear boy shouted in his ear, his face suddenly hurt, and a strong force hit his left cheek. , His eyes went dark, and he fell to the ground.
Waking up from the shock and panic, Qiu Mingquan shook his head and felt liquid flowing under his nose.
Stretching out his hand to wipe it, the bright red blood was all over his hand.
“I don’t look like a little beggar, he looks like a robber.” A boy’s voice sounded from the side, which was obviously different from Feng Rui’s, with vigilance and defense.
Qiu Mingquan raised his head blankly and looked at the person who spoke.
Just now, she had been focusing on Feng Rui, but she didn’t realize that beside Feng Rui, there was another equally handsome boy.
She is a little shorter than Feng Rui, with picturesque eyebrows and a pair of phoenix eyes looking forward, looking like a pretty girl. Just looking at Qiu Mingquan’s eyes, there was an unconcealable vigilance and fierceness.
It’s strange… why does this young man seem so familiar?
“Xiaocheng! Why are you so rude!” Liu Shuyan was taken aback, got out of the car in a hurry, and hurried to Qiu Mingquan’s side, “How are you?”
The boy who hit someone was anxious: “Aunt Liu, you didn’t see just now that this little thief reached out to grab Brother Rui’s precious jade pendant! If I hadn’t beaten him down, he might have run away at this time! ”
He was good-looking, and his phoenix eyes looked extremely energetic when he smiled. Liu Shuyan was also a little puzzled when he heard what he said.
Feng Rui didn’t speak immediately.
He looked at the strange boy who was knocked to the ground by Xiang Cheng’s punch, and for some reason, he was a little dazed.
He thinks he has the ability to recognize people with a photographic memory, and he has never seen this person before, but what is this strange feeling in his heart?
Those dark eyes were obviously unfamiliar, but they seemed to have been seen somewhere, dazed and a little helpless, as if there was an unspeakable sadness.
Scared, is this the look of begging for mercy? Feng Rui hesitated for a moment because of a strange coincidence.
“No more…. There was a bug on my collar just now. He wanted to brush it off for me.” He said lightly.
“Huh? Brother!” Xiang Chengda was taken aback.
He could see clearly from the side, it was obviously the little beggar who reached out to grab Feng Rui’s pendant, and his eyes were full of greed. He was afraid that this precious thing would be snatched away by the little beggar, so he rushed to do it, Brother Rui Impossible not to see it, which muscle is wrong?
“Hey, he’s obviously trying to grab your jade pendant!” he cried anxiously.
Liu Shuyan got a little angry and raised her face: “Xiaocheng, you beat someone even if you made a mistake. If you do this again in the future, Auntie won’t make any delicious food for you.”
Qiu Mingquan stared blankly at them, and finally struggled to get up. Don’t look at the mayor who looks like a girl, but she is famous for being mischievous in fights. This punch was so eagerly punched that half of Qiu Mingquan’s cheek was already slightly swollen, and a piece of his palm was also worn out when he fell. Slowly oozing blood.
Liu Shuyan hurriedly took out the tissue box from the car, and helped Qiu Mingquan dry the blood on his face.
Remembering that Qiu Mingquan came to sell pens just now, but his family was in a tight situation, so he took out fifty yuan from his wallet and handed it to Qiu Mingquan: “Son, I’m really sorry, you take this money first, and go to the hospital to deal with it tomorrow.” ,OK?”
Xiang Cheng felt aggrieved, seeing this little guy reaching out to grab Brother Rui’s things, Aunt Liu didn’t believe him! With a snort, he rolled his pretty Danfeng eyes and looked at the sky.
Qiu Mingquan was startled, but shook his head and didn’t pick it up.
“Auntie, I’m fine…” He whispered, turned around lonely, and wanted to leave.
When passing by Xiangcheng with Feng Rui, he still couldn’t help but stop and take a last look at the two of them.
The setting sun was about to go down, and the afterglow was warm and wandering, reflecting the two teenagers in front of me. The same figure is tall and straight, the clothes are fashionable, one is cold and handsome, and the other is beautiful and flawless.
——Looks like an exceptional match.
Sensing Qiu Mingquan’s gaze, Xiang Cheng quickly put on a fierce look and glared at him viciously.
Qiu Mingquan turned his head in embarrassment, but couldn’t help looking at Feng Rui.
Although this young man looked like a teenager, there was an aura of not being close to strangers early on, and his temperament was exactly the same as that of the man who was giving orders to his ear every day.
“I’m not a thief… I didn’t intend to steal your things either.” Qiu Mingquan spoke with difficulty, with a surge of enthusiasm in his heart, “You, you trust me.”
…
In Qiu Mingqing’s heart, Feng Rui’s voice suddenly sounded: “Just say you can do it, and tell that Zhao Decheng, he is watching!”
Qiu Mingquan was taken aback, and replied solemnly: “Why don’t you do such an easy-to-make money business? Aunt Wang, to tell you the truth, I have made almost a thousand yuan these few days, and I am making money lying down.”
Wang Juan exclaimed: “Oh, it’s more than half a year’s salary for me!”
Zhao Decheng’s small eyes lit up for a moment. After thinking for a while, he quietly ran outside.
Going around to the second floor, he mysteriously pulled out the salesperson’s wife who worked in the women’s clothing department: “Hey, how much money does our family have now?”
His wife rolled her eyes: “What are you doing?”
“Hurry up, I have a way to make a fortune, take it all out! This time, our family can make a lot of money!”
Seeing Zhao Decheng’s back disappear, Qiu Mingquan showed an embarrassed expression again: “Aunt Wang, I thought about it just now, and I should not buy it. This small business will really fall into the hands of the next wave.” gone.”
“Oh?” Wang Juan was stunned for a moment, feeling a little suspicious in her heart. This child, don’t be afraid that she will come to compete too, right?
“Auntie, think about it. The Hero Gold Pen Factory has put so much effort into advertising, and the effect is surprisingly good, but why can’t the supply keep up?”
Without waiting for Wang Juan to answer, he logically said: “Because they didn’t expect the advertising effect to be so good in advance, and they didn’t dare to expand the production line on a large scale. Now the agents all over the country are desperately rushing for goods, and their production lines will expand immediately, and the production capacity will increase.” It’s definitely not an issue anymore.”
In fact, as far as Feng Rui knew, it was during this period that the Hero Golden Pen Factory fought a very good performance battle. Not only did the domestic sales blow out, but it also went abroad, and the foreign exchange earnings from exports increased year by year. Over 10 million US dollars of foreign exchange earned through export, exported to more than 60 countries!
In the following few years, this domestic pen brand has been sold on the same stage as Parker, Montblanc and other world-renowned pens on the stationery counters all over the world, creating the most glorious period in its history. Can’t keep up?
Wang Juan listened blankly, looking at the clear and honest eyes of the child in front of her, she suddenly became excited.
Yes, such a great situation, considering the overwhelming advertisements, the leadership of this manufacturer is definitely not a mediocre person!
“Xiaoquan, thank you.” She couldn’t help feeling chills down her back.
These days, seeing Qiu Mingquan earn so much money smoothly and easily, she almost lost her head, and wanted to put all her eggs in one basket, and even borrow some money for a big one!
If it really rushed in, it would be strange if it didn’t all fall into the hands!
Holding the final payment after the gold pen was completely out of his hands, Qiu Mingquan only felt his heart beating again.
In the big schoolbag, he stacked all the ten-yuan bills neatly together, and among the remaining loose notes, there were a lot of coins, which made the schoolbag heavy.
The 80 yuan he initially stole has turned into a terrifying 2,400 yuan after the 45% compound interest growth these days!
“It would be great if there were hundred-yuan bills. With so much money, more than twenty bills are enough.” He sighed.
Feng Rui asked: “When do you think there are hundred dollar bills?”
Seeing Qiu Mingquan stunned, he proudly flaunted: “It’s coming soon. In May 1988, that is, a few months later, it was the first time that the central bank issued hundred-yuan bills. At the beginning, many stores dared not accept them.” , because I have never seen it before.”
After the gold pen was shot, I went home early this day. As soon as he stepped into the house, Qiu Mingquan was taken aback.
In the compound, like the previous few times, the neighbors gathered together, with strange expressions, surrounding a person in the middle.
“Our Jieda Real Estate was appointed by the district! We will build this area for the well-being of everyone! Integrate industries and develop the economy. When the time comes, both sides of the Pegasus Road will be demolished!” A middle-aged man was facing the door with his back , the greasy feeling on the back of the head was abnormally obvious, and the saliva was flying in the mouth.
“A while ago, there were hooligans who wanted to buy land and houses in advance to fight against the government. Now, we will directly talk on behalf of the district, and we will never let the interests of the masses be damaged!”
A group of people in the compound looked at each other in blank dismay, and many of them were obviously moved.
“Mr. Zhou, it would be great for the public to come forward to take over the house.” Aunt Wang was impatient and asked with a smile on her face, “Then…how much can I give? We don’t want to live in this shanty town for the rest of our lives. If there is more, we are willing to move!”
This is the truth, if you come out from the district, it won’t make the big guys suffer, right?
The man with a greasy face looked serious: “We have been notified that the district has drawn up a plan, and the price refers to the market price, and the unified price is 800 yuan per square meter!”
Everyone sighed in disappointment.
This price is much better than Wang Daquan’s robbery, but it is still slightly lower than the market price. If it is really sold at this price, it is not even enough to buy the same house elsewhere.
Aunt Wang immediately became anxious, and stammered: “But Mr. Zhou, isn’t it going to build a big house and a big factory here? The price of the land needs to be raised!”
She clearly remembered that Qiu Mingquan said that day that this house and land would be worth ten times and a hundred times in the future!
“Yes, yes, how can we pay according to the current market price? Mr. Zhou, you can tell the higher-ups to add more.” The neighbors chattered, but their voices were not loud. People in this era, They also have sincere trust in the identity of the public family. This person said that it was a real estate company sent by the district, so they were naturally in awe.
“Why, you still want to make money from the public!” Mr. Zhou’s expression turned ugly, and he was bored and vigilant for a while.
——It was this shantytown that not only beat away Wang Daquan who came to intimidate him, but even failed to set fire to it. Otherwise, there would be no need for them to come forward directly.
He looked around the crowd, deliberately exuding majesty, with a cold expression on his face: “This is about the overall planning of the big construction, and some personal greed cannot be tolerated. Whoever dares to take the lead in making trouble, don’t blame the government for being rude!”
Liu Dongfeng remained silent all the time, and was about to speak when he heard this, but was suddenly pulled back by Liu Qinhua, and pinched hard.
Mr. Zhou looked at everyone’s silent faces with satisfaction, and nodded: “Everyone is ready, hurry up and find a house to move…”
“Wait a minute.” A clear and calm teenager’s voice sounded.
Qiu Mingquan didn’t know when he had already stood in front of him, looked at him intently, and showed a confused expression: “Uncle, you mean the public, but you, aren’t you just from the real estate company? How can you represent the meaning of the above?” what?”
Mr. Zhou looked at the weird child, and was speechless for a while: “Go away, the adults are talking, and the children don’t interrupt.”
Qiu Mingquan stared at him with subtle inquiry in his eyes: “Wang Daquan brought someone here, and I injured him. He came to set the fire himself, and I accidentally burned him.”
Mr. Zhou looked at him in astonishment, and suddenly remembered the news he had just received——Wang Daquan died suddenly in the hospital this morning!
Looking at the dark and calm eyes of the child in front of him, he didn’t know why, he staggered back a step, reacting to his gaffe, he couldn’t help becoming angry from embarrassment.
He threw out a piece of paper with a “slap”, and flashed it viciously in front of everyone: “See clearly, this is a document! The public has made a decision, and staff will arrange to sign the contract soon!”
Qiu Mingquan unceremoniously reached out to take the document, and looked at it carefully before his eyes.
Behind him, several neighbors leaned over anxiously.
Qiu Mingquan held the document in front of his eyes. He whispered in his heart, “How is it?”
Feng Rui glanced through it very quickly, and with an idea in his mind, he couldn’t help but sneered: “It’s not in compliance. Just ask him what I said.”
Qiu Mingquan had an idea in his mind, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: “This is just a draft resolution in the district, not a red-headed document. Then, it is a real estate company that actually signed the agreement with the residents, right?…”
He said it lightly, but Mr. Zhou’s heart suddenly jumped: This child is hitting the deadly spot!
This is not the opinion of the city at all, it was concocted by someone impromptu. In fact, they dare not even download the document. … And the real handover is their new real estate company, and even his legal person is temporary.
“Yes, how is it?” He forced himself to be calm.
A sarcasm flashed across Qiu Mingquan’s eyes, and he reached out and handed back the document: “Uncle, go back, let’s think about it.”
It wasn’t until Mr. Zhou took his people away that he looked at everyone with a smile: “Don’t worry, everyone, this person doesn’t mean anything.”
Liu Qinhua hesitated first: “This is what the district means.”
