MTL - The Rebirth of the Financial Hegemon-Chapter 8 People are not rich

The southern coastal provinces have always been at the forefront of domestic economic development, and many later big brands and large enterprises have made their fortunes in these coastal cities.

Due to their favorable timing and location, these coastal cities took the lead in the changing times that day, and in one fell swoop established the southern economic circle.

Not many people will remember that before the chief designer spoke up, not only the people in the mainland had a hard time, but also the people from the coast who were envied by the mainlanders.

Because of the geographical environment, Southeast Province can be said to be surrounded by mountains on three sides and by the sea on one side, and its grain output is very low.

Many people would not be able to eat enough if they only depended on receiving the goods from the land.

In the southeastern province where rice is eaten, many people have never eaten even a bowl of rice in their entire lives. The days when every meal was full of porridge, even later, have not changed for a long time.

In addition to supplementing some meat, fishing has also added a little economic income to the people on the southeast coast, but this is not enough to change anything, just make life a little better.

However, in the late 1980s and early 1990s, all this changed dramatically.

People who lived in foreign countries for various reasons in their early years returned to their homeland when they missed their hometown in their later years, and then found that their hometown was still so poor and backward.

It just didn't take long for someone to realize that the things they carry with them that are very common in foreign countries can actually be worth thousands of times when they arrive on the mainland.

A world outside the block has been opened, and the prosperity of the world outside the well has spawned a wave of going abroad, and at the same time, the smuggling industry has begun to emerge.

Wang Erxi was an honest and honest fisherman. Fishing during the day and selling at night was a survival strategy from his father's generation.

But after seeing the people he knew suddenly made a fortune by smuggling, the honest and honest Wang Erxi also began to be tempted.

He is also working at sea, and he is also risking his life if he encounters storms and waves at sea. How can he earn so much money in a day, but Wang Erxi is so poor that he can't even marry a daughter-in-law?

For various reasons, Wang Erxi followed the people from the same village on the road of smuggling, even though he knew that smuggling was illegal.

Just compared to the benefits of smuggling, what is the crime of breaking the law?

People are not rich without windfall, and horses are not fat without night grass!

Start with smuggling toys, then smuggling cigarettes and wine, from food and clothing to entertainment DVD players.

In just two years, the crazy profits made Wang Erxi renovate the house, and the small sampan was replaced by an oil-burning powerboat, and even his wife was married.

Wang Erxi's business has grown bigger and bigger, and his profits have become more and more lucrative. Now, his business scope has shifted from those low-grade things to home appliances.

The price of a TV set is a few hundred yuan, and the price of a mobile phone is 2,000 yuan, and the price of a mobile phone is 3,000 to 5,000 yuan, and the profit to the mainland is tens of thousands of yuan.

And the average income of people is 2,000 to 2,000 a year.

But recently Wang Erxi found out that his business was losing money, to be precise, it was all lost.

Not long ago, Wang Erxi and a batch of goods that arrived on the shore were checked by the customs. If Wang Erxi was not decisive, I am afraid that even he himself would have to go in.

A full shipment of goods worth hundreds of thousands of yuan was gone in an instant. Wang Erxi's heart bleeds when he thinks about it.

What annoyed him the most was that the Maritime Safety Administration had recently started to strengthen nighttime patrols. He had suffered such losses several times in a row. If it continued like this, it would be a disaster for Wang Erxi.

In the early days, Wang Erxi was not only lucky, but he was able to grow bigger and bigger.

Soon, Wang Erxi discovered that when some of his colleagues suffered the same thing as him one after another, some people still had a good time, which made Wang Erxi immediately realize that there was something tricky in it.

Sure enough, under Wang Erxi's observation, it seems that those who are in good spirits have an unusual contact with the people from the Maritime Administration, and when their goods arrive at the shore, the maritime patrol team will always be in a different place. Missing a place at a fixed time.

After some pondering and inquiries, Wang Erxi came into contact with Zhao Donglai, who had just been promoted. After several attempts, he felt that things might turn around.

This time with 20,000 yuan, Wang Erxi had already thought about it, but Zhao Donglai didn't drive him away on the spot, so Wang Erxi knew that there might be a drama.

But what made Wang Erxi anxious was that it had been more than an hour since he entered the door, and Zhao Donglai had not shown anything to his repeated hints except to persuade him to drink tea all the time.

This made Wang Erxi, who was doing this kind of thing for the first time, confused for a while. He didn't know what Zhao Donglai meant.

"Senior Zhao, that..."

Wang Erxi couldn't sit still. Tea tasting was such an important thing about self-cultivation. There is a batch of goods coming to shore, where can we continue to linger like this.

Therefore, Wang Erxi couldn't help implying Zhao Donglai again, and touched the newspaper on the table without making a sound.

What made Wang Erxi vomit blood was that Zhao Donglai still turned a blind eye to his suggestion, not even looking at the thick paper bag he put on the table.

Wang Erxi was a little puzzled, it was a full 20,000, is this Zhao Donglai too little, or did he really not understand what he meant?

As a newly promoted section chief, he shouldn't have such a big appetite, right?

"Donglai, it's already past ten o'clock, you said why Xiaochuan hasn't come back, the road is dark and blazing..."

Just when Wang Erxi was about to directly point out his intentions this time, Huang Yajuan, who had been sitting next to him without interjecting, spoke up, making Wang Erxi swallow the words that came to his lips.

"What are you worried about just so far away? It's not a girl. It's not that you don't know that their teachers love to procrastinate. It is estimated that they will be back in a while."

"But I don't usually procrastinate this long..."

As soon as Huang Yajuan's voice fell, there was a sound of the door lock turning, and then Zhao Jiangchuan opened the door and walked in.

"Mom, I'm back."

"You kid, didn't you leave school long ago? Why did you come back now? Did you go to the arcade with Xiao Wu to play games again?"

Zhao Jiangchuan lowered his head and slippers and said, "Where, old man Zhao is dragging the hall again today..."

Regarding Huang Yajuan's questioning, Zhao Jiangchuan's lie came as soon as he opened his mouth.

The poor old man Zhao, who had already retired and was rehired, just took a blame that he didn't even know about.
