Save the Bachelor of Heaven

 Chapter 3872 3874 [The way out for the future]

 The new year has just turned around and it’s not even past the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, so the Tangtang Gang is on the road again.

 They want to do business again before the spring rush. Otherwise, from spring to autumn, for at least half a year, they will be busy with farm work and unable to travel far.

 Chenjia Village is divided into seven mountains, two rivers and one field. Farming alone cannot fill the stomach. No one wants to suffer the feeling of starvation. So they can only take risks and continue to crack sugar.

The villagers sent the Tangtang Gang out of the village again, giving careful warnings and praying sincerely, hoping that they would have a safe and smooth journey.

“Daguang, be careful on the road.” Qiao Gu also raised her little hand and shouted.

"I know." Xiang Nan also waved his hand, "Wait for me, wait for me to come back, and buy you delicious food."

Qiaogu nodded with tears in her eyes.

“Hey, Da Guang and Qiao Gu have a good relationship.”

 “Jifei, you have to be careful, your wife is about to be robbed.”

 Such as cream, nail polish, red scarf, etc. These products are obviously more popular among young people than needles, threads, and button hairpins.

It seems that it is not easy for me to marry Qiao Gu.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't teach the children bad things." Chen Jinshui's face turned cold and he scolded everyone.

Time flies, five years passed in the blink of an eye, and it was 1979.

 Another example is Xiang Nan who is good at seizing business opportunities. He knew that by the late 1970s, social atmosphere was gradually opening up and people's demand for beauty was also increasing.

Thus, although Xiang Nan has his own sugar bag, his ability to make money is already the best among the sugar-making gangs. Even though Ji Fei is very capable, he is still not as good as him.

 …

For example, others sell sugar by blowing it, but Xiang Nan blows it into sugar figures and paints it into sugar paintings. These lifelike sugar figures and paintings are more attractive to children and sell at a higher price, which increases the added value.

 He once bought a broken electric fan in Jinhua. The motor of the fan was broken and could not be turned on even after being powered on, so it could only be sold as scrap. Xiang Nan only spent three yuan to recycle it at the price of scrap iron, and then repaired it in a few clicks. It was resold for thirty-five yuan, making more than ten times the profit.

 For another example, Xiang Nan can repair and assemble some scrap products, turn them into treasures, and resell them, earning several times the profit.

 When everyone saw it, they all laughed and joked.

With his ability, he can make four or five times more money than others every day.

And Xiang Nan is also more likable. As soon as he came out of the stall, he was surrounded by young girls and wives. Even if they all sell the same goods, Xiang Nan's goods are more popular than others.

“Actually, Da Guang and Qiao Gu are quite a match, don’t you think so, Brother Jin Shui?”

Xiang Nanxu is eighteen years old and has grown up. He is now an official member of the Sugar Gang and has his own responsibilities.

Everyone laughed and didn't take it to heart.

Hence, his cargo is no longer just small commodities such as needles and threads, button hairpins, gloves and shoes, but also fashionable items that young people like.

Xiang Nan could see that Chen Jinshui still preferred Ji Fei to be his son-in-law, so he was so concerned about everyone's jokes.

 Even if he doesn’t sell out, no one else will be able to open one, so he naturally makes more money.

 …

However, Xiang Nan is not willing to just be the leader of the candy gang. First of all, it is really hard to be a candy gang. I have to work hard every day in the wind and snow, and I have to walk dozens of miles a day. Although Xiang Nan is not afraid of hard work, he is not guilty of self-abuse;

 Secondly, the income of the Tangtang Gang is meager. If you work well in a day, you can only earn twenty or thirty. You can make a living by relying on it, and you can get rich by relying on it, and you will have the year of the monkey and the month of the horse;

 Thirdly, the social status of the Tangtang Gang is low. No matter how strict the rules and organization of the gang are, it does not change the fact that they are just small traders.

Until the early 1990s, the status of businessmen was still not high, so it was called "going to sea" when people from work units resigned to do business.

 In the past, due to the limited time, Xiang Nan had no way out. If he didn't work in the sugar gang, he could only farm. But things are different now. The country has resumed the college entrance examination in 1977, and he has a chance to succeed.

Being a college student is much better than being a burden-bearer.

 College students in the 1980s were all public-sponsored students. Not only did they not need tuition or miscellaneous fees to attend school, but the school also provided subsidies every month. The most important thing is that I will be assigned a job after graduation without worrying about having no future.

The most important thing is that only after entering college can you get rid of the shackles of sugar gangs and have greater room for development.

 The business of Knocking Tang Gang was too limited. Even in the 1990s, it was always a small business, mainly wholesale and retail, and could not escape the category of small traders.

You can't make much money by doing this in a small way. Chen Jianghe and Luo Yuzhu were both capable. By 1995, they only earned a few hundred thousand, and they were almost dragged into bankruptcy by triangular debt.

Even if Xiang Nan has great ability and wants to change his career rashly, he will be hindered by his family, dissuaded by his fellow villagers, and even Qiao Gu may not support him.

 This is the limitation of human beings. Just like people living in the mountains, they cannot imagine what the sea looks like. Therefore, if Xiang Nan wants to get rid of this limitation, he must jump out, and entering a higher education is undoubtedly the best choice.

 So he was preparing to take the college entrance examination. To this end, he also bought a batch of books. In addition to doing business, he usually reads books and looks like he is studying seriously.

 Seeing him working so hard, everyone did not sneer at him. Instead, they thought it was good.

After all, "Everything is of inferior quality, only reading is good", "Books have their own golden houses, and books have their own beauty like jade", these concepts have long penetrated into the bones of the Chinese people.

Even though they are small traders without much culture or knowledge, they still believe that there is no harm in reading and reading is the best.

 …

"Da Guang, I received a broken radio today, can you repair it? If you can repair it, I will sell it back and share the money with you 30/70." Chen Jinzhu said to Xiang Nan at the site.

"I am seven and you are three?" Xiang Nan asked with a smile upon hearing this.

"What are you thinking about? I am seven and you are three." Chen Jinzhu said immediately.

"Forget it." Xiang Nan curled his lips and continued to read his book.

“Hey, you kid.” Chen Jinzhu was speechless when he saw this.

 He knew that Xiang Nan was skillful. He could not only blow candy and draw sugar paintings, but also repair household appliances. I don’t know where he learned these skills from, but they are quite powerful anyway.

 As for this broken radio, he spent two yuan and bought it at the scrap price. If it can be repaired, it won't be a problem to sell it for twenty yuan.

 But if he had to break it down to 70%, he would only have six yuan left. After excluding costs, he would only earn four yuan. Xiang Nan can earn 14 yuan, which is 10 yuan more than him.

 Therefore, no matter what Chen Jinzhu thinks, he is a little reluctant to part with it.

"Can it be cheaper? You have four and I have six." Chen Jinzhu discussed with Xiang Nan.

"Well, let's give in to each other, fifty-fifty." Xiang Nan waved his hands and said, "Forget it if you don't agree, I still want to read."

"Five-five?!" Chen Jinzhu gritted his teeth, "Okay, five-five is five-five."
