Chapter 257 0256 [To Get Rich, Come Together! 】

On the sampan, Shi Zhijian moved his aching arm.

At this time, a small hand took a handkerchief to help him wipe his forehead.

"Mr. Shi, are you tired?"

Su Youwei widened her beautiful eyes and looked at him.

Shi Zhijian shook his head, "Not tired, how about you?"

Su Youwei also shook her head, "I'm not tired either, I'm so happy when I think of seeing my mother and younger brother soon."

In the night, the two took a small sampan and drove towards the floating shack where Su Youwei once lived.

In a short time, the sampan had already reached an area of ​​continuous floating houses on the sea.

Those floating houses are built with some old wooden boards, tied with thick hemp ropes and connected in a row on the sea.

From a distance, with the undulation of the sea, the floating houses are also shaking up and down, like the backs of rows of sharks in the sea.

"Mr. Shi, our house is coming soon." Su Youwei jumped up suddenly, pointed to a dilapidated hut not far ahead and said, "That's my house, where my aunt and brother are all there."

Uncle Dahai laughed loudly and said, "Su Yatou, do you want me to call your mother out?"

"No need, I want to give them a surprise." Su Youwei also became naughty.

There is a bulging fish pee tied to one part of the hut, and the sampan directly leans up to flatten the pee, and slowly docks with the help of a buffer.

After Uncle Dahai moved the sampan very quickly, he swung the rope up again, jumped to the hut by himself, and tied the rope.

Su Youwei has lived in the sea for a long time, and she has long been accustomed to this ups and downs, so she jumped directly over it.

However, Shi Zhijian couldn't grasp his center of gravity. When he jumped over with the gift, if Uncle Dahai hadn't stepped forward to help him, he might have fallen down.

"Mother, little brother!" Su Youwei knocked on the door and shouted.

"Who? It's Youwei?!" A woman's voice came from inside the broken house.

"Mom, is my sister back?!"

Creaking, the door opened, and a haggard woman with dark skin leaned out, behind her was a little boy hiding, staring out with big black eyes.

"Ah, it's my sister! It's really my sister!" The little boy rushed out from behind the woman and threw himself into Su Youwei's arms.

"Little brother!" Su Youwei squatted down and cried.

"This is Mr. Shi, he is a good man." Uncle Dahai solemnly introduced Shi Zhijian to the woman, especially emphasizing the word "good man".

Then he said that Shi Zhijian was Su Youwei's boss and had a factory on land, and Youwei worked in his factory.

As soon as she heard that this was her daughter's boss, the woman hurriedly invited Shi Zhijian into the house.

Shi Zhijian carried the things, and Uncle Dahai helped to carry the things too, and the two squeezed into the room one after the other.

The room is very narrow, with kerosene lamps lit, and the furnishings inside are even more rudimentary, without even a table and chairs.

Shi Zhijian was a little surprised. You must know that Su Youwei's salary in the company is not low now, and she sends money back every time she is paid. Logically, their family shouldn't be so poor.

How did Shi Zhijian know that Su Youwei sent the money home, but it was a money order.

The woman is illiterate and doesn't know what it is, so she keeps a large sum of money and doesn't know how to use it, and her life is still tight.

The woman didn't know where to let Shi Zhijian sit.

In the end, it was Uncle Dahai who was smart enough to take the rice vat directly, and found a wooden board to put on it, and asked Shi Zhijian to sit on it.

Shi Zhijian was a little embarrassed. It contained rice that other people ate. Is it suitable for him to sit on it?

But seeing the woman's posture, and the enthusiastic appearance of Uncle Dahai next to him, it would be even more inappropriate if he didn't sit down.

Shi Zhijian had just sat down on the rice vat when a woman came over with sugar water.

This is the highest level of etiquette for their Dan people. When distinguished guests come, they have to brew sugar water. White sugar is a luxury for them.

Shi Zhijian took the sugar water with both hands, took a sip, and looked up to see the woman and Uncle Dahai looking straight at him and smiling at him.

Shi Zhijian had no choice but to take another two or three sips. When he was about to put it down, Uncle Dahai said, "This is very precious white sugar water." After finishing speaking, he licked his lips and swallowed. drink."

Shi Zhijian was stunned for a moment, and understood that the other party meant to let him drink up the sugar water, otherwise it would be impolite.

But Shi Zhijian couldn't drink such a large bowl of super sweet sugar water.

Just at this time, there were many voices outside.

"Youwei is back?"

"A Shuibo, hello!"

"Youwei is beautiful again!"

"Sister Sea Urchin, hello!"

Shi Zhijian took the opportunity to hand the Dahai bowl to Uncle Dahai: "I'll go out and have a look!"

Uncle Dahai was taken aback, "Hey!" Then he looked at Su Youwei's mother, "How about I drink?"

The woman nodded, and Uncle Dahai gurgled happily into the Dahai bowl, and then squeezed his mouth with his hand, "Uh!" and hiccupped.

...

The already narrow room was packed with people.

Su Youwei's mother Aunt Su, younger brother Su Xiaodi, Uncle Dahai, Uncle A Shui, Mrs. Sea Urchin, etc., all of these people stared at Shi Zhijian with wide eyes.

Shi Zhijian felt like an ornamental animal in a zoo, being watched by people, and he, who was always calm and composed, was a little embarrassed.

In order to resolve the embarrassment, Shi Zhijian said: "Since everyone is here, why don't we share gifts, it's a big New Year's day!"

"Don't worry, we'll ask you a few questions." Ah Shuibo was the oldest, and he was the most qualified to speak.

"Well, what are you asking?"

"What's your relationship with Youwei?" Ah Shuibo knocked on his cigarette pot.

"I am her boss, and she is my subordinate."

"That's it?"

"Well, that's it."

Ah Shuibo glanced at the people around him, and said, "What are you looking at? It's over!"

"Hey, I thought Youwei found a good family!"

"Yeah, it looks like her life is still bad!"

"They open factories on land, so how could they really fall in love with Youwei?"

Su Youwei could hear everyone's words clearly from the side.

Originally, she was sitting on the ground with her legs crossed, with a shy face, but now her shy cheeks gradually turned pale.

Aunt Su glanced at her daughter, and said softly, "If you want to be more open, accept your fate, we are from the Dan family, and we are not worthy of her."

Su Youwei nodded, wanted to say something but didn't say it, but tears came out first.

Shi Zhijian, who was sitting on the rice vat, looked confused. What do you mean? What was it just now?

He thought that the other party was just asking casually, so he said something casually, but it seemed that he missed something just now.

"Hey, Mr. Shi, right? The rules of our Dan family are very simple. If you send Youwei back, we won't let you go back empty-handed."

As A Shuibo said, he asked Uncle Dahai and Mrs. Sea Urchin to prepare.

Soon a boat came.

A Shuibo pointed to the boat and said to Shi Zhijian: "Our Dan family has nothing valuable. Since you have given us so many gifts, this boat is full of worthless seafood, so you can take it back!"

Shi Zhijian was taken aback, and walked over to have a look, only to see sea cucumbers, abalones, shark's fins, fish maws, and some expensive grouper, etc. in the cabin.

This is worthless?

Shi Zhijian was in the catering business, and he also opened a seafood hot pot.

According to the current market price of seafood, the treasures in this cabin alone are worth at least 30,000 yuan!

Shi Zhijian looked surprised, turned his head to look at Ah Shuibo and the others, wondering if there was something wrong with the Danmin's mind.

Ah Shuibo seemed to see what Shi Zhijian was thinking, and said slowly: "These things are worthless to us Dan people, and they can't be sold at a high price in our hands. Mr. Shi, if you have the ability, you can sell them all." I wish you a fortune!"

It turned out that these Danmin people had a humble status in the era, and they were called untouchable people, and they thought they had bad luck.

Therefore, the rare seafood such as sea cucumbers and abalones they salvage will be sold at a low price.

Those who received the goods were all from associations, relying on the strength of the associations to unite to suppress the price. Often, a top-quality abalone worth three to five hundred yuan would sell for three to five yuan at most in their hands.

These Dan people also protested and struggled for this, and negotiated with the associations responsible for receiving the goods, but the result was that no one dared to accept their things anymore, whether it was sea cucumbers or abalones, they all rotted in their hands.

After this struggle, Ah Shuibo and the others also figured it out. They are untouchables. How can they have the right to negotiate with others? No matter how low the price is for fish, you have to accept it.

After listening to the narration of Ah Shuibo and others, Shi Zhijian suddenly had a crazy idea.

Before that, he always wanted to control the supply of raw materials for hot pot restaurants, especially seafood.

Because Shi Zhijian knows that the biggest profit of a hot pot restaurant is actually the supply of raw materials, and the biggest weakness is also the supply of raw materials.

As long as this aspect is not in my hands for a day, my hot pot restaurant will be controlled by others.

So now, the opportunity has come.

Shi Zhijian smiled slightly at Ah Shuibo: "Are you interested in discussing a business?"

Ah Shuibo and others look at me and I look at you.

Shi Zhijian's mind was jumping so fast that they couldn't keep up.

"Business? What kind of business?"

"Yes, we are all fishing at sea, what is there to talk about?"

"Of course I have! You have the goods, I have the demand, and this forms a perfect supply and demand chain, so——"

Shi Zhijian smiled at them again, "If you want to get rich, come together!"
