Rebirth 77: From Beachcombing to Becoming a Tycoon and Spoiling My Wife

Yang Bai looked at the ticket stacked on top of his hand, which clearly read "Bicycle Ticket".

He was very happy, finally freeing his two wives from having to walk so hard every day.

From now on, when we go to the county town, we can stay as long as we want.

Yang Bai accepted the tickets, which also contained several grain coupons, cloth coupons, and industrial coupons.

However, none of these are as important as the bicycle ticket.

Yang Bai then thought of his eldest daughter-in-law, who loved making clothes, and asked.

"Manager Hou, is there any way we can get our hands on a sewing machine?"

There was a hint of embarrassment in Hou Sanli's eyes.

You can talk to the village secretary about the bicycle ticket and get it easily.

Sewing a plane ticket is very difficult; there's only one available per year, and everyone in the company is scrambling to get one.

If things proceed normally, it would probably take three or four years before it's his turn.

Even if you cut in line early, it'll have to wait until next year.

"This... is rather difficult to handle; the personnel quota won't be available for another two years."

Yang Bai sighed. Sure enough, even Manager Hou couldn't do it.

Two years have passed, and it's already time for reform and opening up. What kind of tickets will we still be using in four years?

Tickets are worthless.

We can only try to find another way; trading on the black market is also an option.

"Okay, thank you, Manager Hou."

Soon Yang Bai finished ordering the fish, and the person counting the fish handed over the list.

Yang Bai took a look and saw that the catch, including the crabs, weighed a total of 6,732 catties.

There are a total of 6394.39 pieces.

Yang Jun and Liu Dade, who were standing next to him, were completely dumbfounded.

The two of them had never seen so much money before!

These words have left me feeling a bit dizzy.

Yang Bai remained calm, having built a business empire in his previous life with the help of the widow Hai.

Where is this?

Hou Sanli had someone count the money and then put it in a canvas bag.

"Yang Bai, be careful on the road, this is no small amount of money."

He doesn't dare to reveal the amount of money directly now, fearing that the watchful fishermen might do something drastic one day.

Yang Bai knew that six thousand yuan was enough to drive a person crazy, making them capable of anything.

"Um."

In the 70s, there were no bank cards, only passbooks, and you had to deposit money into those passbooks.

Dangerous? There's nothing we can do about it.

Money is never safe no matter who has it.

You feel most at ease when it's in your own hands.

"In that case, from now on, I'll go to the company to pick up my orders myself."

The seafood company is close to the bank, so you can withdraw and deposit money on the same day.

Hou Sanli nodded, "Alright, by the way, with this money, you're now a ten-thousand-yuan household, right?"

Yang Bai smiled. "Yes."

He is now the first person in the village to earn 10,000 yuan.

However, he wouldn't flaunt his wealth, and he certainly wouldn't go around the village with a loudspeaker shouting that he was a "ten-thousand-yuan household" (a wealthy person with ten thousand yuan).

Yang Bai divided the money between Liu Dade and Yang Jun.

He received 640 yuan from each person, and he got 5069.39 yuan for himself. He immediately stuffed the money into his pocket and tied it tightly.

Liu Dade took the money and counted one large ten-yuan note after another, until he was speechless.

It really is 640 yuan, which is equivalent to two years' wages for one day of work at sea.

"Xiao Yang, today feels like a dream."

"Old Liu, don't worry, there will only be more and more opportunities to make money in the future."

Yang Bai patted his shoulder and laughed.

Yang Jun nodded happily and said, "With Brother Yang around, Lao Liu, you're making a fortune."

"By the way, did you bring tickets?"

Yang Bai asked.

The two nodded.

Liu Dade was thinking of finishing his work and then going to the county town to buy some things to take back to his child.

Needless to say, Yang Jun would go find women who weren't wearing pants, then go drinking. He would do this several times a month once he had money.

"Okay, let's go to the county town together to buy some things to take back."

Then the three of them rode together to the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative.

The three of them got out of the car together, tidied their hair, and looked just like gangsters from Hong Kong.

Very arrogant.

The three men strode into the store with their heads held high and chests puffed out. Now that they had money, they had recovered all their previous losses.

Standing in front of the counter.

Yang Jun coughed a few times and said, "Comrade, give me two packs of Gutian tea, two packs of Daqianmen tea, and one pack of Mudan tea."

He pointed to the cigarettes on the counter, saying he had so much money he was going to spend all the cigarette coupons he had.

The saleswoman at the counter, judging from their attire, didn't think they were officials.

Selling so many cigarettes, are you here to cause trouble?

Five cartons of cigarettes cost 18.8 yuan. It would take them more than half a month's salary to afford that. How could a farmer from the countryside possibly afford to spend that much money on cigarettes?

Even if you're asking someone for a favor, being able to afford a pack of Peony tea is considered quite generous.

"Comrade, are you... sure you want this much?"

Yang Jun didn't care what they were thinking at the moment, and nodded, saying, "Yes, I have plenty of money."

Yang Bai smiled; he understood the saleswoman's concerns.

If Xiao Jun really pulled out that much money, people would probably suspect that he robbed it somewhere.

The moment he steps out the door, he'll probably be taken away by the militia.

Yang Bai produced the seafood company's invoice and the initial proof of the transaction.

"Comrade, these are the catches we made at sea and the certificate issued by the seafood company."

"We have enough money to buy goods."

When the saleswoman opened it, her identity was indeed that of a poor peasant, just as she had guessed.

She rubbed her eyes and kept glancing at the amount on the screen, but was instantly startled.

Six thousand yuan, you can earn six thousand yuan on one trip to sea!

She suspected it was fake, but the certificates and the signatures on the forms all bore the seal and signature of the seafood company.

This is more money than many people could earn in their entire lives. If they made another fortune, they could probably become a millionaire.

Where did they retrieve this cargo?

No wonder he spends money like a tycoon.

Yang Bai looked at the stunned saleswoman and tapped on the table.

"Excuse me, ma'am, could you sell me some cigarettes?"

The saleswoman immediately handed the items in her hand to Yang Bai.

"It costs 18.8 in total, and we need five packs of cigarette coupons."

One carton of cigarette coupons is equivalent to ten packs of cigarette coupons, which means you need fifty packs of cigarette coupons.

Yang Jun took out all the cigarette coupons he had hoarded over the years, as well as those he had bought from the black market.

"Count them to see if there are five packs of cigarette coupons?"

The saleswoman spread out the bills one by one, nodding as she counted them.

That's enough.

Yang Jun immediately took out the money and slammed it on the table.

"Give me."

The saleswoman immediately packed up the cigarettes in her hand.

The news that Yang Bai had caught six thousand yuan worth of fish quickly spread throughout the supply and marketing cooperative.

Seeing this, Yang Bai told Xiao Jun and Lao Liu to take their time browsing, while he went upstairs to the bicycle shop.

He looked at the bicycles on display, which bore brands such as Phoenix, Forever, and Golden Deer.

The first two items are the most valuable; if you ride them back, the whole village will probably be envious to the point of madness.

Yang Bai also had his eye on these two brands of bicycles.

The store's salesperson immediately came forward to inquire.

"Comrade, do you need any help?"

"Yes, I want the Phoenix Type 69 and the Permanent Type 51."

Yang Bai specified the type.

Both of these are very effective in terms of load-bearing capacity, making them particularly suitable for rural environments and work scenarios involving two women.
