After Li Ming got the check, he went to the bank with Yang Xue's father and Yu Peng's assistant to cash the check. If it was cashed, he would go to the warehouse to get the tea.
This is a check for HK$750,000, equivalent to RMB 331,858. Li Ming felt like he was in a dream with the three hundred thousand in his pocket. His heart was beating so fast that it almost jumped out of his throat.
It turns out that money in capitalism is so easy to make!
Fortunately, Teacher He didn't hear his inner voice, otherwise he would have definitely cursed at him. Capitalist money is even harder to make! He only sold a dozen boxes of tea in a day of door-to-door sales. How could it be profitable
The next day after receiving the check, he had a great time in Hong Kong. Su Ye had made tens of thousands of dollars from the stock market, and Mr. He would not be able to forgive himself if he did not rip her off.
Su Ye accepted it with pleasure. She was not stingy either. During the day, she took him to visit the largest department store in Hong Kong City. They were dazzled by the sights and everyone bought some local specialties.
In the evening, they went to a high-end restaurant and ordered a lot of shark fin rice, Australian lobster, abalone fried rice, oyster cream pasta, Black Forest cake... Several people sucked their thumbs while eating, and they were not satisfied until they had to hold on to the wall to go out.
Before leaving the mainland, Su Ye exchanged Hong Kong dollars for RMB. She earned nearly 60,000 RMB from Jardine Matheson, so this trip to Hong Kong was a fruitful one.
…
Port city.
Wu Ming had not appeared since he handed the letter to Yu Peng that day. Yu Peng and a group of mainland bosses felt like they were dreaming. On the one hand, the stock price was rising like a rocket, and on the other hand, the feeling Wu Ming brought to them was too amazing.
Yu Peng promoted the charlatan to a master and even bought hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of tea for the purpose, causing quite a few jokes in the circle.
"You're spending 750,000 yuan to buy tea leaves, and you're biting the money?"
Yu Peng thought that it was not surprising for others to think this way, it was just that he had never seen Wu Ming.
In his eyes, Wu Ming spoke fluent English and was knowledgeable. He was well-versed in the field of agriculture, economy, technology, politics, and finance, and he was very well-spoken. He could even keep his emotions to himself when he tripled his stock profits. If all scammers were like him, he would not feel wronged even if he was scammed.
Besides, Yu Peng didn't think Wu Ming was a liar. No one else thought Wu Ming was a liar.
Although 750,000 kilograms of tea leaves were a lot, it was the result of everyone competing with each other and paying 75,000 Hong Kong dollars. Everyone didn't want to miss their "dragon and phoenix opportunity", and everyone bought a portion of the 15,000 kilograms of tea leaves and took them back to the company that day.
Yu Peng handed Wu Ming's letter to Mrs. Huang, and two days later, with the help of the police, the kidnapped wealthy man Huang Qi was quickly found, and the "Three Wolves Case" was solved at an incredible speed.
Mr. Wu mentioned in the letter that he had divined that three people were responsible for the crime and that they were in a place related to the film and the crew. The police quickly found Mr. Huang based on the clues.
Mrs. Huang found Yu Peng to thank him profusely and asked him to express her gratitude to Mr. Wu.
"Pengzi, if you find Mr. Wu, tell him that I'll let him keep the building!"
Those bosses who laughed at him for being cheated by the master were slapped in the face. This master really has some talent! He didn't even want the building that Mrs. Huang gave him, which shows that the master doesn't value that little money at all.
He began to ask Yu Peng about Master Wu Ming's identity, but Yu Peng ignored him.
The circle of bosses that Yu Peng got along well with at that time gradually emerged in the business world. They transformed themselves from a group of country bumpkins into wealthy bosses in Hong Kong.
They all have a common secret - they have consulted Wu Ming for fortune-telling. Wu Ming's fortune-tellings have been verified one by one. The boss who was predicted to have peach blossom evil in his fortune-telling married young and was kidnapped by his wife. Fortunately, Master Wu warned him that year, and he was lucky enough to save his life.
Later, all the bosses in Hong Kong's wealthy circle wanted to have their fortunes read by Wu Ming, and they looked for Master Wu every year. Year after year, the name "Wu Ming" became more and more legendary, and gradually became a legend.
Many years later, Su Ye heard about the reputation of "Master Wu" in Hong Kong from other people, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, no wonder the male-oriented Jack Su loves to show off so much, it turns out that showing off has such a magical effect!
…
After the Three Wolf Case came to an end, Yu Peng remembered what Wu Ming said about "leaving all the dragons and phoenixes". He secretly guessed that the meaning of "all" might not be simple. If he bought tea every year, wouldn't he be the one who owned all the dragons and phoenixes
He immediately made a decision that he would sign a contract with the tea merchant to buy tea every year.
Later, Yu Peng inquired and found out that this was tea produced in a village in mainland China, which was a commercial business, not sold privately. The tea was packaged in two kinds of boxes, one was a bright red box, and the other was a green iron can.
If a red box was sent, the stock market would definitely soar that year; if a green box was sent, Yu Peng would sell all his stocks and wait for a big drop. This cycle lasted for ten years, and he survived several stock market shocks. Master Wu was right, all the dragons and phoenixes were his opportunities. It contained Yu Peng's secret, and he never told it until his death.
Of course, this is a later story.
…
Shanggou Village.
Su Ye returned to the village with a thick bankbook. He made a lot of money selling tea this time, selling tea for a total of 331,000 yuan. After deducting tariffs, the profit portion promised to go to the provincial capital, and the rent, transportation, and labor costs, Su Ye finally returned to Shanggou Village with 180,000 yuan.
When He Meimei heard the news, her eyes widened in surprise.
There are actually 180,000! Of course, every day with Su Ye is a surprise. She touched the passbook and said, "I have never seen so much money in my life!"
Her heart was pounding, and she was filled with admiration. She knew Su Ye was a talented person, but she didn't expect her to be so amazing? She left with a cart of tea, and in less than half a month she brought back this huge sum of money.
Before liberation, Su Ye definitely had the potential to become a big landlord.
Zhou Yi was happy to hear the news, as he knew what the money meant to this poor village.
Su Ye's idea of building a new socialist countryside seemed impossible to achieve in the context of famine. Since this man could sell tea for 180,000 yuan, it would not be difficult to build a new countryside.
Zhou Yi began to wonder what Su Ye's idea of a new socialist countryside looked like.
The most surprised person was Teacher He, who witnessed the whole process.
Everyone thought that he must have suffered a lot to bring back this huge fortune. I'm afraid he would never believe it even if he was beaten to death. During that period, Su Ye did the most to take Liu Gang to eat and drink everywhere. The biggest effort he made was to insist on reading newspapers every day, and to go to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange to show off when he was free, and speak a few words of English that Hong Kong people couldn't understand.
This time, Mr. He was really impressed by Su Ye. He fully realized that the brains of smart people are different from those of ordinary people.
Until now, he still hasn't figured out how Su Ye made those Hong Kong bosses willingly buy tea, how she gained their trust, and how she bought the bull stocks. Teacher He doesn't know any of these.
Teacher He couldn't understand what she was talking about, such as rice stocks, economics, technology, politics, and finance, which she talked about with her boss. The only thing he was sure of was that his IQ was beaten to the ground by Teacher Su. She was a waste of talent when she went to No. 1 Middle School to be a people's teacher!
This kind of talent should go to a bigger and broader world. Teacher He thought: I am afraid Shanggou Village may not be able to keep her.
…
Dormitory for educated youth.
Su Ye took a short rest in the educated youth dormitory and gave the students the souvenirs he bought from the port city.
She bought stockings that can only be bought in Hong Kong. Every female classmate got one, and the girls were very touched. Teacher Su went so far away and still thought about her. Any girl who has watched Hong Kong movies has an infinite yearning for stockings, but they are not sold in mainland China at all.
She could only think about it in her dreams.
Liu Gang bought durian cakes, a kind of tropical candy with a very special taste, and everyone had a good meal. Li Ming bought a car model. The toy manufacturing industry in Hong Kong is very well developed, and almost every child in every household has a toy.
Although he couldn't afford a car, he could buy a model. This was something that couldn't be bought in the mainland, and the surprise level of each part was amazing, which was a level that domestic factories could not achieve.
This car model was later taken apart and reassembled by the boys in the dormitory of the educated youths, who never got tired of it. Some of the boys even applied for the major of mechanical engineering in the college entrance examination because of this model.
This is also a later story...
The next day.
Su Ye showed the passbook to Ma Gensheng. Secretary Ma counted the zeros in the passbook several times with a magnifying glass, revealing a shocked and satisfied smile.
Ma Gensheng was so frightened that he fell off the stool.
"This... is this passbook real?" Ma Gensheng couldn't believe that this passbook was real.
He turned over the back and saw the Agricultural Bank’s two ears of millet logo clearly visible. Ordinary people would not dare to forge a bank’s logo even if they had the guts to do so, right
What is the concept of 180,000
The villagers in Shanggou Village did not work, but they could live comfortably for several years just by relying on this money. Last year, they sold 5,000 yuan of tea, which was enough for them to live safely during the famine. What's more, they sold 180,000 yuan of tea this year? Ma Gensheng never thought that the tea in the village could be sold for so much money.
The passbook suddenly became very hot.
He was afraid that if he announced this huge sum of money, it would scare everyone and make the villagers lazy. This is really a sweet burden!
Fortunately, the money is now under the management of Su Ye, and all these worries are no longer a headache for her.
Su Ye used the money to buy brand new farm tools, fertilizers, ten cows and ten mules, spending a total of 20,000 yuan. In terms of people's livelihood, she spent 10,000 yuan on cotton and cloth, and each household could get 20 feet of cloth and 5 kilograms of cotton. In addition, she also bought a batch of study and office supplies.
Workers in the city were given one foot of cloth every month, which added up to only a dozen feet for the whole year. Every household in Shanggou Village received twenty feet of cloth and five kilograms of cotton. This move really excited the villagers for a long time.
For the first time, their welfare benefits have caught up with those of city dwellers. Their good days are coming!
The pure white cotton is light and soft. When sewn into clothes, it warms people's hearts and makes them worry-free in winter. When cotton is used to make quilts, it is a great honor for a young man to marry a wife. Who can afford a new quilt made of cotton these days? Only people in Shanggou Village can afford it.
He Meimei excitedly held a loudspeaker and announced, "Fellow villagers, only hard work can bring wealth!"
"Only by absorbing cultural knowledge can one progress!"
He happily painted the wall and wrote slogans on it: "Get rich through hard work", "Adhere to the scientific outlook on development and develop science and technology agriculture", "Adhere to Chairman Mao's thoughts unwaveringly", "Girls are also heirlooms, baby girls must not be abandoned, abused or drowned"...
Su Ye spent money to renovate the public facilities in the village. The whole village has a brand new look. Everyone can eat and wear warm clothes, and their mental outlook is refreshed. The whole village exudes a vigorous vitality from inside to outside.
…
Provincial Party Committee Office.
Zhang Ying didn't expect that Su Ye sold the tea in such a short time without relying on the government's help. He heard that he also received a stable large order. A Hong Kong businessman signed a ten-year tea contract with Shanggou Village at one time.
Zhang Ying brewed the Jin Xiang Yu tea, and the more he drank it, the more he felt that the tea tasted really good.
He said to his assistant: "This Su Ye is... a bit talented."
Assistant Li smiled slightly.
This was the first time that the leader praised a young person. Assistant Li had met Su Ye several times, and the phrase "young people are to be feared" was not an exaggeration to describe Su Ye. She was young, but she had many ideals and ambitions, and the key was that she was still capable.
If she goes into politics in the future, she will definitely achieve great results.
County government.
Xu Aihua received a call from the provincial party committee, asking him to actively contact Hong Kong merchants to ensure the quality of tea. He learned that the tea from Shanggou Village was favored by Hong Kong merchants and signed a ten-year contract. This order can only bring 100,000 yuan of fiscal revenue to Qingxi County every year, and the county magistrate was overjoyed.
One hundred thousand yuan is a lot, which is equivalent to the economic benefits that a factory brings to the county. Moreover, at this critical juncture, the factory is suffering huge losses and has to rely on the government bank for support. In comparison, the tea from Shanggou Village is really impressive!
Xu Aihua recommended the Jinxiangyu Tea from Shanggou Village to the National Tea Fair, hoping that it would have a chance to go global. But that's another story.
…
Dormitory for educated youth.
After returning from the port city, the educated youth was very interested in Liu Gang and Li Ming's trip to the port city. When Li Ming talked about how he sold the tea, his tail was so proud that it was about to rise to the sky.
In his mind, all the tea leaves were sold by him. Because of the tea sales, the village bought farm tools, had money to buy fertilizers, and the villagers wore new clothes. He felt very proud. Every day in the dormitory of the educated youth, he described the scene with his classmates:
"It was said that it was too late, but it happened so fast. I was riding my tricycle and was suddenly surrounded by a line of cars. Several big bosses got off the tricycles and asked me about the price of tea."
He described vividly how the big boss surrounded him, how the big boss excitedly flipped through the tea from his village, and praised the exquisite dragon and phoenix paintings on the tea gift boxes.
In his words, the big boss drove a luxury car, wore a high-end suit, held a cigar between his fingers, and with a wave of his hand, a group of bodyguards would work hard for him. Everyone was fascinated by such a legendary scene, and scenes from the movie appeared in their minds.
Every time Liu Gang heard this, he couldn't bear to burst Li Ming's pitiful fantasy. Every time he looked at him, he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Li Ming had no idea that opportunities did not fall from the sky, and all of this was planned by Teacher Su with wisdom. Where is the good thing of pie falling from the sky
Li Ming didn't know how those bosses respected Teacher Su and called her Master. Being stopped by a group of bosses to buy tea was nothing.
Liu Gang once followed Teacher Su to witness the volatile stock market of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. He saw with his own eyes those well-dressed big bosses deciding the fate of hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars with a wave of their hands.
Being surrounded by luxury cars was nothing. If Teacher Su wanted to, he could even ride in a luxury car and follow those big bosses around the entire Hong Kong City Bay.
These wonderful experiences were all things Li Ming had never experienced before, so he had to keep them to himself and never mention them again.
Liu Gang carefully put the suit he wore in Gangcheng at the bottom of the suitcase. He occasionally thought of himself wearing a suit and black sunglasses and following Teacher Su, and missed the time when he ate the most expensive food in the high-end restaurant.
Whenever he recalled how he dropped his jaw when he learned that Mr. Su's stock had tripled, he still felt that he was stupid. In the days that followed, whenever Liu Gang recalled it, he realized what an interesting teacher he had met.
This experience, which was more legendary than a movie, was deeply buried in his heart. After seeing the wider world, he was no longer an ordinary country boy.
He hopes that he can be like Teacher Su, a young man with ideals, ambitions and intelligence, determined to build his motherland and make his motherland as developed as Hong Kong City, or even more developed than it!
