Era: Start as a buyer

"Uncle, how about a wild turtle."

Another person looking at the turtles appeared, a middle-aged man with glasses. He didn't say anything. He just squatted and looked at the turtles crawling on the ground.

"Little brother, tell me honestly where this turtle came from."

"It was dug at the construction site. It's been raining for the past two days. I found it when it ran out. Then it went back into the hole and I dug it out."

"Construction site? Where is the construction site?"

"It's over there, that's where I work."

Luo Cheng pointed to the direction of his construction site and asked him to tell the truth about how he came here. How is this possible? Could it be that he is actually your uncle's generation? I was born before liberation. This turtle was brought here in 1958. . Don't ask, it was dug at the construction site, not anywhere else.

After hearing Luo Cheng's words, the man with glasses stood up with a puzzled look on his face.

"It's really eye-catching. It looks too much like a wild one. But the credibility of this kid's words has dropped immediately."

The man looked at the turtle and pouted, feeling a little evil inside. I took off my glasses, wiped the lenses, and squatted down to look at the soft-shelled turtles again. I couldn't bear to accept it. Can the cultured ones get to this level?

"Little brother, how much do you sell this turtle for?"

"Five to four hundred for the big ones, two hundred for the small ones."

I didn’t ask for 500 more, I thought it would be better to ask for 400. If you encounter someone who won't bargain, three will be just one thousand.

This price~~, the man with glasses stood up again, his words were false, and the price was also very false. Really wild ones would be so cheap. But his stuff is kind of real. I wanted to leave, but there were really few wild turtles these days, and I was a little reluctant to leave.

"Can I take a photo first?"

"Yeah, okay."

Luo Cheng now knows how to take pictures. He even took pictures of himself on his mobile phone. He found that taking pictures with his mobile phone looked much better than taking pictures in the mirror, and he felt very delicate.

XJ Wildlife Research Group.

"Look at the picture, these turtles are wild."

~~

"Lao Zhou, that's good. I got a few wild animals somewhere and showed them off to the group. You can't tell if these soft-shelled turtles are wild. Don't show off. I'll give you one for each thousand. I'll give it to you as a gift. "

"Yes, Lao Zhou, we have a good relationship, right? As for Junwo, I will stew it myself. You tell me the price."

"Wait a minute, everyone, these turtles are really not mine. I just met a young worker who looked like he carried three turtles with straw ropes. He said they were dug at the construction site, and then I asked him the price. He said a big one was four hundred. , a small two hundred.”

~~~

"Here~~, let me look at the picture carefully. It looks exactly the same as the wild turtle. If you don't tell me where this turtle came from and just sell it to me, I won't have any doubts."

"Yes, Lao Zhou, this characteristic is true."

"Lao Zhou, you don't need the thousand yuan. Why don't you buy it and we'll go to your house to have a look at noon. If this is fake, it's worth studying it."

"Yes, buy it. Go to Lao Liu's tonight and let him stew one. Just try the taste and you will know."

The man with glasses is the one called Lao Zhou in the group. Everyone is right. Even if the soft-shelled turtles in front of him are not wild, there are three of them this big. The smaller one is considered cheaper and is close to 300 yuan. Spending an extra seven hundred dollars is worth it just to buy it and study it.

"Young man, I want all three of you. Take out your phone and I'll transfer the money to you."

"I can't accept money on my phone, I just want cash."

Hearing Luo Cheng's words, the man with glasses hesitated again. He really couldn't fake it anymore. He no longer provided real-name payment methods. Damn, apart from the real turtle, the identity of the migrant workers, the price, they don’t accept transfers, for fear of being recorded.

Buy it, even if the Emperor comes today, I will be fooled. Lao Zhou sent another message in the group, the turtle seller only wanted cash. He also had to go to a nearby store to exchange cash.

People in the group didn't know what to say, so they could only continue to study the pictures posted by Lao Zhou, hoping to find something wrong in the pictures.

It didn't take long for Lao Zhou to find Luo Cheng with cash. He exchanged the money in his mobile phone for cash. The merchant said that they would deduct a handling fee for cash withdrawals. They also charged him an extra ten yuan. He felt that he had been deceived on his own initiative and had to pay a handling fee for being deceived. Fortunately, he was given a thick plastic bag to protect the fish.

Luo Cheng became excited when he got one thousand. In front of the man with glasses, he counted and checked the authenticity, but checking the authenticity was just a show. He had never seen any counterfeit banknotes.

And Lao Zhou felt like he was slapped in the face again. You who sold fake goods checked to see if I was using fake money.

Finally, the transaction was completed, and Lao Zhou was no longer interested in strolling around the old street. He originally came here to buy wild fish, because there were indeed people here who caught fish from the river or somewhere, and would set up stalls to sell them. Now that I have bought three turtles, I am not in the mood to see if there are any wild fish.

After putting the money in his pocket, Luo Cheng felt like he was floating when he walked. He sighed inwardly. If the price was too low, he should have offered a price of five hundred. At most, the small ones are a hundred cheaper and earn two hundred less.

A few turtles can be sold for one thousand, and it takes three days of work to earn such a large income. I still have two big ones at home, how many will I have to sell? In this weather, it was drizzling just now, but now it is drizzling, and it feels like it is going to stop. If the rain stops, we won't have to start work tomorrow. We can only bring them here to sell them at noon, but there won't be many people here at noon.

Now that I have money, I buy cold dishes, rice and steamed buns on the street. Another fucking extravagance, spending more than 40 yuan, and I also bought a bottle of mineral water on the way back. This is really a luxury. After being here for so many days, apart from buying water for lunch, he has always felt that buying water is not as good as buying drinks.

Because the drinks are delicious and flavorful, water with nothing in it costs one or two yuan, which is really incredible. How much does a pound of rice cost? What’s so special about this water? But today he was extravagant. Instead of buying a drink, he just bought water. It was not a question of the amount of money, but that he had to buy something that he felt was not worth it.

Back at the construction site dormitory, Luo Cheng was ready to lie down and play with his mobile phone for another day. When he went out in the morning, many workers saw him carrying a turtle. I came back before noon, and the turtle was gone. Many curious people came to inquire about Luo Cheng's turtle.

Luo Cheng was quite honest with his co-workers, telling them that he had sold it for a total of one thousand yuan, and he also took out the cash and showed it to them. And I was annoyed that I had sold it cheaply. I should have been able to sell it for two hundred more.

This~~, the more obvious the routine, the easier it is to succeed.

The workers thought that they also had construction site clothes and helmets. All I need is a rope and a turtle to sell. Could it be that there are more fools now? Otherwise it’s still early today, turtles are easy to get, and it’s not like they can’t be found in the market.

Luo Cheng didn't know what the coworker was thinking. He just wanted to play with his mobile phone in peace for the day. He sold a thousand turtles and felt comfortable.

Even if the rain stopped in the afternoon, Luo Cheng had no idea of ​​going out. But at about four o'clock in the afternoon, Li Gong came to his room again, but he was not looking for him.

Instead, they brought over a new worker who wanted to live on the construction site, which made Luo Cheng feel a little dizzy.
