Make A Billion In The 80s - Chatper 150
How did he get so much money at such a young age? Although he finally paid it back, what did he do?
Grandpa Qiu took a closer look, and when he saw the injury on his face, he felt a “thump” in his heart.
This child is an abandoned baby picked up by the old couple. It was in the middle of winter, so a delicate blue-flowered baby was lying on the side of the road. They couldn’t bear to see such a young child left alone, and the social welfare institutions were not perfect. Ask After a long time, they couldn’t find a good place for the abandoned baby. As a last resort, I adopted it.
Qiu Mingquan has been well-behaved and obedient since he was a child, and he has never caused anyone to worry, but recently… the two old people thought of his extremely weird words and deeds recently, and suddenly wanted to go wrong.
——Is this child starting to turn bad? !
Leaving early and returning late, stealing money for private use, and having strange scars on his body, could it be that he did some bad deeds with bad guys!
Grandpa Qiu was in a trance for a while, and suddenly remembered what he saw a few days ago. Qiu Mingquan, who was shy and timid since he was a child, faced Wang Daquan with that desperate, brave and fierce look in his eyes.
And the past, not a person at all!
“You…you tell me clearly!” Grandpa Qiu stood up abruptly, panting heavily.
He has always been seldom talkative and has no culture. He is usually silent and dull, but when he loses his temper, he is very scary.
“What should I do?” Qiu Mingquan asked anxiously in his heart, and asked Feng Rui for help.
“Just tell the truth, say that you heard the news on a whim, and you made money selling gold pens.” No matter how capable Feng Rui is, it’s okay at this time, “Don’t be so stupid as to tell me, otherwise they might find Taoist priests or The monk came to suppress me.”
The two old people only saw his anxious face and sweat dripping from his forehead. Grandma Qiu felt a pain in her heart, and muddy tears flowed down her cheeks.
“Xiaoquan…” She choked up and said, “I know our family is suffering. But you must not go astray if you are poor.”
Qiu Mingquan shook his head anxiously: “No! Grandma, I didn’t do anything bad! Believe me…”
“Then tell us, why did you steal the money?” Grandma Qiu looked at him anxiously.
Not to mention that it’s impossible to hide it, Qiu Mingquan bit the bullet and said: “Grandpa, grandma, I… I recently learned from others and started a little business.”
He took a deep breath and tried his best to look mature: “I bought the pens in the mall, the ones with gold nibs, and sold them at a higher price. These days, I made a lot of money.”
“Xiaoquan, you…” Grandma Qiu cried in despair. It’s fine to steal money, but you still tell such a big lie? !
Qiu Mingquan panicked, pulled down his schoolbag, and dumped all the money in it on the bed.
“Grandpa and grandma, look, the money is back, and I have earned so much!”
A large pile of old and new ten-yuan and five-yuan banknotes covered the bed, and there was also the crisp sound of steel coins colliding with each other. Under the dim light, the eyes of the two old people were straightened.
so much money! !
Qiu Mingquan forgot one thing, the myth of compound interest growth, ordinary people can’t figure it out, ordinary people can’t accept the fact that more than 80 yuan can be transformed into such a huge sum of money within ten days!
Grandpa Qiu opened his mouth, and suddenly became frightened: Is there any way to make a child earn so much money in a short period of time!
Grandma Qiu stared at him suspiciously, and suddenly saw a section of red rope protruding from his neck.
With a simple pull, the jade pendant was exposed, and a piece of dense precious light scattered under the dim light, warm and delicate, like frozen cream.
The two old men rubbed their eyes at the same time. Even if they don’t have any appreciation ability at all, they can tell that this is by no means a cheap thing.
“This… what is this?”
“I, I picked it up.” Qiu Mingquan blurted out, lying hastily, “I picked it up in a tree hole.”
At this urgent enough moment, President Feng was still whimpering: “Look, she doesn’t feel it when she touches me. Only when you touch me can I feel it.”
Grandpa Qiu looked around, suddenly picked up the small bench next to the bed, and hit Qiu Mingquan: “I told you to lie! I told you to be a bad boy!…”
This inexplicable precious jade, this huge sum of money that suddenly appeared, and that concealed and twinkling eyes!
The small bench hit his back, Qiu Mingquan’s small body staggered, and his back felt dull pain.
Qiu Mingquan was immediately stunned.
He has been very filial and obedient since he was a child, and he was rarely mischievous. Even in his previous life, he did not remember any time when he was beaten. On his buttocks, the pain made him tremble again.
“Grandpa, I, I…”
“Oh, your family still engages in domestic violence. The poorer you become, the more barbaric you become—” Feng Rui was taken aback, “Hey, hide, aren’t you stupid!”
Qiu Mingquan was about to dodge, but when he saw Grandpa’s trembling appearance, he was suddenly startled!
In the previous life, my grandfather was in poor health, and the poor family didn’t have any knowledge of annual physical examinations. He suddenly had a stroke and died after being paralyzed in bed for several years. In this life, don’t advance the cause of the stroke because of something!
Thinking about it this way, he didn’t dare to move at all, he was anxious and scared, tears filled his eyes quietly.
Seeing Qiu Mingquan being beaten stupidly, Grandma Qiu was so anxious that she burst into tears, and ran up tremblingly to stop him: “Okay, old man, stop beating, and ask carefully if you have something to say, Xiaoquan is not an ignorant child.”
Also said he is sensible? Looking at Qiu Mingquan’s reticence, Grandpa Qiu was so angry that his hands trembled: “If he doesn’t explain clearly today, I’ll just kill him!”
“Heretics! Even the parents who gave birth to you can’t beat and kill them every now and then, children are not private property.” Feng Rui complained angrily, “What’s more, you were adopted.”
“You hand over this unknown thing to the police station.” With tears in her eyes, she reached for the jade pendant on Qiu Mingquan’s neck, “Even if it was picked up, the person who lost it must be very anxious, so let’s return it.”
Qiu Mingquan was taken aback suddenly and was stunned.
“Hold on! Don’t listen to her!” Feng Rui was furious, his usual elegance was gone.
Hell, if he was really stalked by this old woman and handed over to a stranger, it would make the sky and the earth miserable, wouldn’t it kill him?
“No, no… This, this won’t work.” Qiu Mingquan tightly held his heart.
Grandpa Qiu was so angry that he suddenly snatched the jade pendant from his neck, raised his hand suddenly, and threw the whole thing out of the window!
Qiu Mingquan was completely blindfolded, watching the darkness outside, his heart seemed to be hit hard by something, and he yelled suddenly: “What are you doing?!”
With this roar, the room fell silent. The bench raised by Grandpa Qiu stopped in mid-air and did not come down for a long time, and Grandma Qiu didn’t make a sound.
“Grandpa, grandma, I…” Seeing the suddenly slumped expressions of the two old people, Qiu Mingquan vaguely knew that something had happened.
Grandpa Qiu stared at him blankly, his old face slowly changed from violent anger to dull sadness.
When he picked up this emaciated abandoned baby on the side of the road more than ten years ago, he has regarded this little life as his lifeblood for so many years.
Thinking of the child’s loving and well-behaved appearance in the past, and his roaring expression just now, Grandpa Qiu felt as if he had been torn apart by something.
He waved his hands desperately and sadly: “Okay, okay…we don’t care about you.”
He turned around with difficulty, got on the bed with one leg, and swept all the money on the bed to the ground. Then, with his hunched body on his back, he stopped saying a word.
Qiu Mingquan was scared out of his wits, eagerness, remorse, and worry all came to his mind: “Grandpa! I was wrong…Grandpa, don’t get mad!”
If he lives a new life, even if he has no ability to change his destiny and make his family live a worry-free life, he can’t piss grandpa to death in advance, right? !
He was at a loss, and wiped it on his face indiscriminately, scratching the wound and bleeding.
Staring blankly at the blood on his hand, an inexplicable anxiety and helplessness surged into his heart, chilling his bones.
Yes, this was not earned by his ability at all, and the two old men saw him right.
With trembling hands, he knelt on the head of the bed and picked up a few banknotes.
“Grandpa, don’t be angry, I’ll tear it up… tear it up, okay?”
Grandma Qiu hurried over and grabbed him. The oppressive atmosphere in the small and dilapidated rented room was almost suffocating.
Qiu Mingquan just felt that his mind was blank. These days, he was used to Feng Rui’s nagging and reprimand, as well as his sarcasm and pointers. Now his voice suddenly disappeared, but his heart gradually calmed down.
If that person is here, he must not like to see himself in such a daze and useless state, right?
No, he has to be strong.
Qiu Mingquan, who was kneeling on the ground, was silent for a long time, and then finally spoke with a hoarse voice.
“Grandpa and grandma. Everything I said is true.” He said softly, “I really earned the money by selling pens. Because the money is too much and it comes quickly, I am also very scared, no Dare to tell you.”
Neither of the old men made a sound.
“It was my mistake, and I will never hide it from you again next time.”
He gently grabbed a bunch of money on the ground, put it in grandma’s hand, and looked straight into the old man’s blank eyes: “But every penny here is earned cleanly. No crime of rape.”
At this time, it is not as important as the later generations to pay attention to the privacy of students’ grades. Not only the total score rankings, but also the scores of each individual subject are also publicly ranked. Again, let’s announce the top and bottom rankings to show encouragement and encouragement.
Sitting in the children’s desks and chairs, a large group of parents looking forward to their children’s success, some were full of energy, while others were ashen-faced and forced to smile.
On the seat by the window, the corner of the middle-aged man’s mouth twitched slightly. Hearing that his youngest daughter’s name was listed among the top three in the grade, his smile almost overflowed.
His own child was so worry-free, not only did he have good grades, but he also wrote beautiful handwriting. For a moment, his heart was filled with tenderness, and when he looked at the back of the shadowy boy outside the school gate, his heart thumped.
Buy, buy, buy, after school later, let’s bring back a surprise for my daughter! …
It was winter in January, and the temperature was extremely cold. Qiu Mingquan stood in the winter sun at the school gate and licked his chapped lips.
The old man in the reception room brought a glass of boiled water and waved to him: “Come on baby, drink some hot water, don’t freeze.”
Qiu Mingquan ran over gratefully, took the old man’s big enamel cup, and drank half a jar of warm boiling water with a “gudu gudu”: “Thank you, grandpa!”
“Your pen, can you sell it?” The old man chatted with him intermittently, “Golden pen, is the tip really made of gold?”
Qiu Mingquan smiled shyly: “The point on the nib is made of K gold. It’s really 14K gold. The workmanship is amazing.”
The old man laughed haha: “You are amazing. A pen is worth my family’s food money for several days. Why do you dare to sell this, little baby?”
Qiu Mingquan raised his sleeve and wiped his mouth, then smiled: “I’ll try too.”
At this moment, some parents began to come out of some classrooms. Qiu Mingquan quickly put down the enamel jar, and quickly ran to the school gate. He stood upright and looked anxiously at the crowd that filed out.
“Put away your puppy-like eyes.” Feng Rui said angrily, “You give me the look of ‘buy it if you love it, and leave if you don’t buy it’, be strong! Do you understand being strong?”
“Oh.” Qiu Mingquan straightened his back, and at a glance he saw the middle-aged woman who said he was speculative coming over.
She bent down and picked up a hero 100 gold pen, and asked unwillingly: “Little brother, I didn’t say that it’s too black-hearted—your pen costs six yuan at most, so I’ll take one. ”
Qiu Mingquan firmly clung to the death limit set by Feng Rui: “Auntie, it really can’t be done. I’ll pay eight yuan back, and I still have round-trip ticket money.”
A lesbian with a milder appearance next to him was calculating the fare and meals for the round trip in the city center, and looked at Qiu Mingquan’s little face flushed by the cold wind, and his heart softened: “Okay, I’ll buy one for eight yuan. All right.”
She shook her head, took out her wallet and counted out ten yuan: “I bought it for my son, which color is better?”
Qiu Mingquan was overwhelmed with surprise, and while looking for change, he followed President Feng’s instructions and said, “Auntie, why don’t you take this golden pen cap. With a golden crown, in the past, it was worthy of the number one prize!”
“Oh, you kid can really talk.” The lesbian picked up the classic gold pen with a golden cap with a smile, drew a few lines on the homework book provided by Qiu Mingquan, and put it in the exquisite pen case with satisfaction.
At this moment of the transaction, Qiu Mingquan was already surrounded by many parents.
The advertisement for the hero gold pen has just started to be launched intensively in the past two days, and many people are quite envious of this expensive 14K iridium gold pen.
Seeing that the lesbian placed the first order, some people became envious. What’s more, at this point in time when you just finished the parent meeting and learned about your child’s good grades?
“I want a full silver pen body, I think it’s very atmospheric.” Someone picked up another pen and rubbed it for a while, and was finally seduced by the good design and exquisite nib, and paid for it I bought one.
The sun is very strong, the north wind is very cold, happiness comes too suddenly.
Qiu Mingquan suddenly became a little dizzy, and only remembered Feng Rui’s “never lower the price” limit in his mind. After a while, seven of the eight hero 100 gold pens were bought!
Suddenly, almost at the same time, two people grabbed the last pen and said, “I want this one!”
As soon as Qiu Mingquan raised his head, the two who were fighting were the middle-aged man with glasses, and the woman who said he was black-hearted. The woman had been waiting to see if Qiu Mingquan could lower the price, but she didn’t expect that it would be sold out in a blink of an eye, and she immediately became anxious.
“I want it!” The middle-aged woman forcefully pulled the gold pen case into her hand, ready to pay.
The man’s expression was also anxious: “Oh, little brother, sell it to me!”
Qiu Mingquan looked at the two, slowly picked up the pen case, and handed it to the middle-aged man: “Uncle, here you are.”
The middle-aged woman was displeased, and raised her eyebrows: “Why, I said it first!”
Qiu Mingquan said indifferently: “No, this uncle is the first one to ask the price today.”
Wei Qingyuan let out a long sigh of relief, and quickly took out his wallet, suddenly feeling a little dazed.
He took out all the money and looked embarrassed: “Look, little brother, I didn’t want to bargain, I really came to hold a parent-teacher meeting, and I didn’t bring much money with me.”
Sure enough, there was only one five yuan in the whole wallet, a few ten-dollar bills, and a few steel coins.
At this moment, the middle-aged woman immediately regained her spirits: “I have, I have, and I have money.”
She flauntingly took out a ten-yuan bill, and stuffed it into Qiu Qingquan’s hand: “Here you are!”
Qiu Mingquan ignored her, reached out to take all the money in the man’s hand, and handed over the last hero iridium 100: “Uncle, here it is.”
The middle-aged woman yelled sharply: “You are crazy! He only has more than six yuan!”
Qiu Mingquan looked at the middle-aged woman, and said slowly, “Yes, but I’m willing to buy it for a thousand dollars.”
He turned his head and looked at Wei Qingyuan sincerely: “Uncle, thank you.”
“no need thank me?”
Qiu Mingquan said sincerely: “The market economy is a good thing. Right, uncle?”
Wei Qingyuan held the pencil case blankly, full of shock.
He didn’t expect that the child would be willing to sell him at a low price, but what he didn’t expect was what the child just said!
“Market economy is a good thing.”
This is a simple sentence, how many people around you dare to say it, or how many people understand the real truth?
He graduated from Dongshen City University of Finance and Economics. After graduation, he worked in the Central Audit Office. He has worked for more than ten years. Now he has just been transferred to Dongshen City to perform his duties. At the same time with doubts.
How could this teenage child say such words casually!
Wei Qingyuan tentatively proposed: “How about, at this time tomorrow, you come here, and I will bring you money to replenish it.”
“No, I won’t come tomorrow.” Qiu Mingquan smiled obediently, his little face flushed.
After all, he is still a child, Wei Qingyuan thought in confusion. I probably heard that sentence on the radio, so I remember it?
At this moment, a burly man bent down, wearing a huge gold ring on his finger, and nodded the last two remaining pen cases: “Is this the expensive one? – 50 Golden Eagles ?”
“Yes, yes, the big leader is visiting and giving the Soviet Union a national gift!” Qiu Mingquan couldn’t care about Wei Qingyuan anymore, his eyes fell on the thick gold chain around the man’s neck, and his heart beat faster.
The man nodded proudly: “Wrap both of them up for me.”
…
Lying on the only bed at home, Qiu Mingquan remained motionless. The grandparents around me were tired after going out all day, and they were already snoring.
The weather was very cold, and the quilts the three of them were covering together were not thick enough to keep them warm.
But his brain was burning hot!
“Mr. Feng…” Qiu Mingquan’s mind was filled with handfuls of change in the schoolbag under the bed.
The ten gold pens were sold out, which was a full profit of thirty-nine taels compared to the purchase price in the morning!
He had already put the passbook back, but in Qiu Mingquan’s old schoolbag, there was already more than one hundred and twenty yuan in it!
With a principal of more than 80 yuan, in one day, it is close to 40 yuan in profit!
All the gold pens were sold out, and the last two most expensive 50 gold carving hero gift pens brought him a profit of 20 yuan at once.
In his previous life when he died, this number was of course shabby.
However, this was 1988 in the previous life!
Even for employees of state-owned enterprises who are envied by everyone, the per capita monthly salary in Dongshen City at this time is only more than one hundred yuan. Yuan net profit is almost a month’s income from picking up waste, but now, Qiu Mingquan earns it in a day!
“Don’t get excited, it’s a small profit.” President Feng’s voice was laziness, with a trace of imperceptible complacency, “I have to go to the city again tomorrow to buy goods, don’t you want to rest early?”
