Return To 1977 Chapter 535: Disturbing

The "sea bumpers" are in trouble again.
But fortunately, they had worked with Hong Yanwu before and knew that prices could not keep rising and there would always be recurrences. Didn’t you experience a price drop last time?
So they all waited patiently. Especially when I saw "Xiapaizi", "Bayu" and "Sanjizi" boldly added another 5,000 yuan each to copy the goods. "General" also thought of raising the stakes.
It's just that he didn't dare to tell his mother about it. Apart from getting two thousand yuan from my sister, there seemed to be no other way to get money.
But the solution is something people come up with. After pondering over it, he was unwilling to give up, so he thought of Manager Xie and the traffic captain. With a slap on the forehead, he pledged twenty watches to them in exchange for two thousand dollars in cash.
Sure enough, within two days, people who collect sea cucumbers every year came to the beach, and the price of sea cucumbers increased by another three yuan, and the general ledger was finally even. At this time, the total cost became 99,000 yuan.
Unexpectedly, the matter was not over here. Soon, as more and more people received the goods, and as the price continued to rise, Manager Xie and the transportation team leader found another "general". Input a thousand yuan and share the profits together.
The "general" had just asked for help, and since he was an acquaintance, he was embarrassed to refuse, so he agreed.
At this time, he made the second mistake that Hong Yanwu warned him about, and introduced other people's money. The size and secrecy of the plate spiraled out of control.
Don’t forget that Manager Xie and the traffic captain are just two people. But once this door is opened, it will be difficult to deal with it later.
Because other "Hai Bingzi" also had relatives and friends around them, everyone talked about this matter, which immediately triggered a chain reaction.
Everyone can see that sea cucumbers are going to skyrocket. In view of the last explosion of wealth, no one is willing to be alone. Many people want to spend money to participate in the profit sharing.
And the "general" himself is not upright and cannot say the word "no" at all.
So the money from outside flowed in like a gurgling stream. Three days before the National Day, the "general" and his friends, together with their connections, had thrown around 130,000 yuan into the sea cucumber.
Of course, thankfully, the situation is looking good, and the price of sea cucumbers is also rising all the way.
Forty, forty-two, forty-five, forty-three, forty-five, forty-eight, fifty-five, out of stock! Thirty heads are totally out of stock...
By this time, the "small market" for private goods trading was booming.
After catching up with the official price, everyone naturally targeted sea cucumbers in state-owned stores. The panic buying trend resumed, and even the official price of sea cucumbers in "fishery stores" was forced to increase by ten yuan. , the fifty-head dried sea cucumber exceeded the fifty mark for the second time in the history of Bincheng.
Seeing the same as last time, as long as the "aquatic product stores" are sold out, there will be another big blowout in sea cucumber prices. Can't contain it anymore.
But just when everyone was ready to take action and cheer for joy, changes among the people finally led the government to intervene.
According to news published in newspapers, the government promised to fully ensure supply during the holiday and decided to adjust the prices of state-owned stores back to normal prices on National Day.
At the same time, the public is warned not to participate in sea cucumber speculation. Once discovered, the public security organs will confiscate all illegal gains and be fired from the original unit.
Logically speaking, Hong Yanwu had already warned about this, and the "general" should get rid of the sea cucumbers in his hands as soon as possible.
According to the current price, thirty heads of sea cucumbers on the market have already fetched more than sixty yuan. If it was the initial purchase price of the general, it would have doubled. Even if the comprehensive cost was gradually raised to 46 yuan later, there was still a profit of more than 40,000 yuan. You can accept it as soon as you see fit.
But the problem is that when people's greed gets in their way, they become stupid and lead to errors in judgment.
At this time, the eyes and minds of the "sea cucumbers" are all about the high price of sea cucumbers, which reached 178 the year before last, and they feel that the stamina of sea cucumbers is still sufficient.
Besides, the government’s measures this time are also different from last time, with the thunder being loud and the rain being small. The industrial and commercial departments, the price department and the public security department did not conduct inspections on the "small markets" where sea cucumbers are traded.
This makes them, like most people, mistakenly believe that without actual action, it may not have any effect. The government has not really come yet, so they can wait and see. This brings us to the third mistake.
They never expected that the government would become smarter in light of the last sea cucumber price hike.
Officials have learned from past mistakes and are afraid that mandatory control will cause greater price turmoil in society. This time, they directly allocated sea cucumbers from Shandong through the upper management before making the announcement.
Not only did the expectation of price cuts stabilize public sentiment, it also eased the panic buying trend. On the day before the National Day, we also started to fulfill our promises, put all our efforts into releasing goods, lowered prices, and let the facts speak for themselves. The confidence of the hoarder was instantly shattered, and he made a beautiful defensive counterattack.
Well, as Shandong sea cucumbers are on the market, the counters of Bincheng's "fishery stores" are full. All those who planned to make a fortune from the sea cucumbers in their hands were dumbfounded. They had no idea where these sea cucumbers were obtained, let alone how many goods the government had in stock.
Then after someone heard that a whole shipload of dried sea cucumbers had been unloaded at the port, panic selling immediately started, and the price of dried sea cucumbers in the private market plummeted. In just three days, it was not until the prototype was back that it stood firm.
Not to mention the sea cucumber dealers who lost money and vomited blood, even the ordinary people who bought sea cucumbers in state-owned stores a while ago felt that they had made a huge loss.
As for the nearly three tons of sea cucumbers in the hands of "General" and others, they only had to sell 500 kilograms at a relatively high price in exchange for the initial 20,000 yuan in cash, and the rest was lost. In the last account, even if the rest can be sold smoothly, the loss will be 18 yuan per catty, and the loss will be more than 60,000 yuan.
At this time, everyone was unhappy. The "Hai Bangzi" cursed the heaven and the earth, drank too much, and could not accept the reality. Manager Xie and the traffic team captain were also panicked, asking the "general" every day what to do.
But the most noisy ones are the many other "small shareholders" who participated with hundreds of dollars. These people cannot afford to lose. Not only are they clamoring for repayment, but they are also unwilling to accept losses. It must be said that the "Hai Bangzi" had made a guarantee with them in the first place, and they only made a profit but no compensation.
This is troublesome. These people all have various relatives and friends with the "Hai Bangzi". No one can tell what they said to each other at the beginning, let alone treat one another the same.
Although some families are in financial difficulty, if one family is compensated at the original price, it is impossible not to compensate the other family. Moreover, cash is limited, so it is also a question of who should be compensated first and who should be compensated later. The most important thing is that because confidentiality is no longer a concern, some people claim that they will not be compensated at the original price, so they go to the industrial and commercial and public security organs to report them.
This made things even more confusing. For the first time, the "Hai Bangzi" complained to each other at the wine table, and had a big quarrel over the interests of their relatives and friends. You said he was a fool, and he really shouldn't have promised his aunt so much and acted carelessly as guarantee. He also said how dare your second uncle threaten everyone in turn, he is such a **** idiot.
Even after a back-and-forth verbal exchange, "Xiapaizi" and "Bachu" actually started fighting under the influence of alcohol.
Seeing this scene, the "General" felt extremely regretful. He felt that he really shouldn't wade into this troubled waters with his brothers again. Losing money was a trivial matter, but he couldn't stand the fact that the poor brothers who had been running for life together started fighting with him over money.
I think back then, the heavy rain ruined the dry food they brought, and "Xianzaizi" gave up the only edible pancake to "Bayu", and "Bayu" also risked his life to save the trapped people. "Shrimp crawler" in the reef cave. No matter what happens, they can't help but turn against each other!
So the "general" was furious. In anger, he slammed the table and cursed both "shrimp crawler" and "ba octopus" on the spot.
But the "general" never expected that for the first time, those two brats who were jealous of money actually rebelled.
Not only were they unconvinced, but they also stood up and accused him. He said that he should not disobey Hong Yanwu and take the lead in breaking the rules, otherwise everyone would either lose money or make money.
The "General" was stunned, he was stunned, he was stupid. He never expected that two brothers would say such things to him.
As the audience fell into solemn silence, he found that although the others did not speak, they all looked at him with strange expressions. It obviously had the same blaming meaning, which broke his heart again.
If this scene can be described appropriately, it really corresponds to Uncle Li's words, "People's hearts are scattered, and it is difficult to lead the team."
So excited, the "general" drank the wine in one gulp and impulsively said some heartless words.
"I know you all blame me, but it doesn't matter. I will bear all the losses alone and will never let you all suffer from me. But from now on, we are no longer brothers. Tomorrow, you will Let your relatives and friends come to me to get money..."
He slammed the wine glass and pushed out the door.
But at this time, something even more sad happened to him. Except for "Sanjizi", none of his brothers came out to chase him. This only proves that his brothers really care about money. It's more important than their friendship.
The "general" is a **** man. Although he broke up with the big guy on bad terms and hurt his feelings, he must keep his promises and his heroic words.
On the one hand, he continued to return funds to everyone's relatives and friends. On the other hand, he is looking for opportunities to sell sea cucumbers for cash.
According to his idea, the first priority is to collect 30,000 in cash to pay off the debts of outsiders.
Because for every "Haichengzi", dealing with the condemnation from relatives and friends is a very painful and embarrassing thing. Everyone is afraid of being poked in the back.
What's more, some people's family conditions are really difficult. Those few hundred yuan are very difficult for ordinary people to accumulate wealth. If you really think that you can't get the money back, you will definitely go to extremes. Not to mention reporting them, they may even commit suicide. It won't work if someone is killed in a hurry.
In any case, he cannot bear such a debt of conscience.
