Chapter 765: Might As Well Just Start an Acquisition Station

~19 min read 3,690 words

Hearing Li Long collected the three skins from that person and gave him forty-five yuan. That person took a small paper bag out of his pocket and stuffed it into Hearing Li Long's hand.

"Comrade, you solved my big problem. Inside here is the musk bag of that water rat. I specifically took it off and gave it to you."

Hearing Li Long took the "musk bag", opened it, looked at it, and smelled it. That's right, it was the musk bag of a water rat.

"Old brother, this musk bag is not cheap." Hearing Li Long weighed the paper bag in his hand and said, "Haven't you looked for other places to sell it?"

"Comrade, we used to know to sell things to the acquisition station. Now that the acquisition station is gone, where else can I go to sell it? My home is in Beiwucha Shahuodao, there is only one bus a day. If I wait any longer, I won't catch the bus back today. It was you who acquired my skins, otherwise I wouldn't have sold them for money today, and I wouldn't even have the money to stay in a hotel..."

After that person said a few words to Hearing Li Long, he left in a hurry.

He was really in a hurry—being able to rush back on the same day was the best for these people who didn't go out often. If they couldn't rush back, where to stay was a big problem for them.

Fortunately, at least now there was money in hand, and the heart was much more settled.

Seeing Hearing Li Long acquire this person's skins, several people who were originally watching gathered around:

"Little comrade, look at this rabbit skin of mine, do you acquire? Cheap! Originally the acquisition station was three yuan a piece. If you acquire, two yuan five... two yuan is fine."

"I also have rabbit skins, this rabbit is five or six kilograms heavy, a big rabbit, I also sell this skin cheaply!"

These people had more or less some local specialties in their hands, originally prepared to save for a while and sell to the acquisition station, but didn't expect the acquisition station to close.

At this time, the transmission of information was very slow, unlike later generations where almost everyone had a networked mobile phone, and the things that happened on the other side of the earth on the same day were known here.

At this time, some major events in the county might take a month or two to reach the village, and in this cold winter, if you want everyone in the village to know, unless the loudspeaker notifies, otherwise, it might take another ten days or half a month.

So there were many people in villages far from the county town who didn't know that the acquisition station had been closed for more than a month.

"Sorry, I can't acquire so many things." Hearing Li Long hurriedly waved his hand, took the water rat skins, turned around, and hurriedly got into the jeep, driving away.

He wasn't a god and couldn't solve everyone's problems.

The reason why he got out of the car to take the initiative to ask people just now was because that person looked like his big brother a few years ago.

Returning to the large courtyard, Hearing Li Long parked the jeep, took the water rat skins, wolf skins, and the paper bag into the wing room.

There weren't many things left in the wing room at the moment, and he placed the more important things separately. These three water rat skins were processed quite cleanly, without a bit of grease on them. After rubbing with salt, the skins became board-hard, the fur was very thick, the hard hair was long and the soft hair was short, and it didn't feel particularly comfortable to touch.

Maybe it needed special treatment before being made into fur.

After putting the things away, Hearing Li Long closed the door of the wing room, and when walking towards the house, he was still thinking about the people just now.

I don't know if there were any people whose homes were far away among them, whether they could rush back tonight, and if they couldn't rush back, where would they stay?

After washing his hands in the house, he went to see Mingming and Haohao. The two children had just finished eating, and Han Fang was watching. Sister Yang was already cooking in the kitchen.

After Hearing Li Long came in, he liberated Han Fang, and she ran back to her room to play. Hearing Li Long looked after the two children, a bit absent-minded.

Mingming and Haohao crawled over to let him hold them as soon as Hearing Li Long came in. Hearing Li Long held one in each hand and shook them in the house. While shaking, he was thinking about what happened just now.

What if he opened an acquisition station?

If there was really a sales channel, opening a private acquisition station would definitely be very profitable.

Thinking about the fritillaria last summer, and the large amount of skins. In fact, Hearing Li Long originally wanted to acquire things when he got a storefront in the market. If he took over the courtyard of the acquisition station and opened a private material acquisition station himself, and resold it, it would definitely have prospects.

Not to mention fritillaria, just those skins, he didn't need to hunt them himself; the skins delivered to the door were many times more than what he hunted himself.

Zhao Hui acquired skins and wanted those good skins, but ordinary skins should be sellable to the leather factory, right?

However, for other things, there was no way; without sales channels, he couldn't acquire them.

Of course, this was also an industry that pressed money. Acquisition required a large amount of money, and this money couldn't be turned around for a while.

Hearing Li Long had quite a lot of spare money, and he also knew that all kinds of materials would definitely go up all the way, and this situation would last for nearly ten years.

So acquiring these things at the original price of the acquisition station would definitely be profitable.

And since the acquisition station was gone, he could even suppress the price, so that he could leave more profit for himself.

The room for operation was very large.

When Gu Xiaoxia came back and saw Hearing Li Long holding the two children, and the children were asleep, he was still shaking there, so she asked:

"The children are asleep, why not put them down?"

Only then did Hearing Li Long wake up, bent down, and put the two children on the bed.

Outside, the sky had completely darkened. Hearing Li Long covered the children, and then told Gu Xiaoxia about what happened today.

"If you want to open an acquisition station, you must first understand the policy." Gu Xiaoxia didn't laugh at Hearing Li Long, but helped him analyze the possibility of opening an acquisition station.

"The crime of speculation and profiteering hasn't been completely abolished yet, but private material acquisition has been tacitly approved. It's just that if you want to acquire as many types of materials as the acquisition station did, you have to understand some things. After all, some things are being acquired by the Supply and Marketing Cooperative. Oh, right, you are a person from the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, and this status is really useful for solving many problems..."

Now Gu Xiaoxia found that Hearing Li Long's status as a Supply and Marketing Cooperative employee was really useful.

The crime of speculation and profiteering would not be abolished until some time later, and this charge was relatively vague. It was just that when they wanted to convict you, they could put this hat on you. After all, second-hand dealers were once completely covered by this charge in a certain period of time.

But later it was untied, and middlemen were tacitly approved, but there was no explicit document, so the degree of untying still depended on how the executor defined it.

Gu Xiaoxia originally wanted to help Hearing Li Long analyze the feasibility, but after saying this, it was definitely feasible, and the next step was to analyze the direction of execution.

"If you want to engage in an acquisition station, it's best to take over the courtyard of the original acquisition station directly." Gu Xiaoxia continued to analyze, "That place is recognized by many people, so it naturally occupies a great convenience.

However, if you want to acquire materials, you can't acquire so many categories as the original acquisition station did. Sales channels are a big problem."

Hearing Li Long looked at Gu Xiaoxia talking eloquently, and suddenly thought of when he first got sheep offal from the mountains, she came to the house to buy sheep offal to nourish Gu Bo Yuan's body.

That stubborn and somewhat thin little girl had now grown into a confident and powerful state cadre.

Hey, it really looks like that.

"What are you looking at me for?" Gu Xiaoxia finished analyzing the pros and cons of one, two, and three for Hearing Li Long, and then found that Hearing Li Long was looking at her fixedly. She thought there was something on her face, touched her face, and asked:

"What's wrong? My face isn't clean? Stained with dust?"

"No, no." Hearing Li Long smiled and said, "I found that you are very powerful now. Analyzing these things is logical, and there is evidence, which is very consistent with reality. I think if you do business, you might be better than me."

"Definitely not." Gu Xiaoxia hurriedly waved her hand, "I'm just mouth work. You also know our work, theoretical analysis is okay, but if you really operate it, it's not that good..."

Gu Xiaoxia was being modest, Han Fang knocked on the door, saying the meal was ready, and let the two go to eat.

Hearing Li Long let Gu Xiaoxia go to eat, and he looked after the two children here. The children were older now, and their sleep at night wasn't that steady; they might roll off the bed. Gu Xiaoxia didn't decline and went out to eat.

After the two replaced each other and finished eating, Hearing Li Long told Gu Xiaoxia his thoughts again, and they discussed it together.

"If you really want to open it, you have to figure out who this courtyard belongs to and whether it can be bought. If it really can't be bought, then rent it." Gu Xiaoxia knew Hearing Li Long's ability. If he really got this courtyard, Hearing Li Long would definitely be able to do it vigorously.

As for failure or something, she didn't consider it; she felt Hearing Li Long could do it.

Of course, Gu Xiaoxia also had selfish motives. If Hearing Li Long took over this acquisition station and did it himself, then there would be more days at home in the future. After all, this acquisition station couldn't be trusted to others, so Hearing Li Long would spend less time running to the mountains and other cities.

At this time, women could hold up half the sky, but the degree of importance attached to the family was still very high.

The two combed through the problems that needed attention one by one, and didn't even turn on the TV.

If you really want to open an acquisition station, there are quite a few things to do. The first is the courtyard, and the second is the shipping channel.

Although there were Jia Tianlong and Zhao Hui, Hearing Li Long and Gu Xiaoxia both agreed that they couldn't rely entirely on one line for channels.

It wasn't that they didn't trust these two people, but mainly that these two people weren't locals. What if they had something to do and couldn't come for a while, and Hearing Li Long had a large batch of goods hoarded here, what if the capital chain broke?

"Then I'll find time to go to Beiting and Shicheng to ask after the New Year. The acquisition stations there shouldn't be closed. At worst, after acquiring a batch of materials, go there to resell. Of course, you have to ask what things are acquired there. It's troublesome if you acquire a lot of some things and have no place to sell them."

"Skins are easier to talk about. There is a leather factory in the county. At worst, sell them directly to the leather factory after acquiring them. Zhao Hui acquires better skins, and the leather factory definitely acquires ordinary skins. As long as you master the price market of the leather factory, suppressing a few yuan when acquiring skins is profit."

"Medicinal materials are mainly licorice and cynomorium here, and these two categories are the big ones. In fact, the medicinal material company also acquires them, but the amount of ordinary people is small, and the medicinal material company usually doesn't acquire theirs. We can acquire and store them well, and sell them after storing a certain amount.

Jia Tianlong acquires these things. If he doesn't acquire them, then resell them directly to the medicinal material company. Of course, you have to deal well with the medicinal material company, otherwise, if they don't acquire them, you have to pull them to other places..."

"If you take over the large courtyard, the warehouse must also be tidied up well. There are techniques for storing some things. If you store a lot and it gets moldy and deteriorates, then you will lose a lot."

"Things like copper coins are also acquired by the acquisition station. However, if we acquire them, the place to sell them is a trouble. If this doesn't work, don't acquire them, so as not to be unable to sell them and hoard them in hand."

The two analyzed one by one. At first, Hearing Li Long was still talking, but later he felt that he couldn't remember it if he just talked, so he simply took a notebook and began to record it.

Gradually, the things needed to open an acquisition station became complete.

"... The matter of the license should also be kept in mind. See what kind of license is better to handle."

Hearing Li Long hadn't paid attention to this point. Previously, he acquired things in the name of a Supply and Marketing Cooperative employee, so there was no license problem.

Now that he wanted to engage in a proper acquisition in the courtyard, he had to handle a license.

This was considered the most important point reminded by Gu Xiaoxia. Hearing Li Long recorded it and planned to go and ask.

He didn't know much about this, so he had to ask Li Xiangqian for advice. Given his current relationship with Li Xiangqian, the section chief would definitely give him a sincere suggestion. Moreover, Old Li should be able to get in touch with the industrial and commercial side to help him get it done.

After discussing these things, it was almost eleven o'clock, and the two were in no mood to watch TV, so they washed up and went to sleep.

Hearing Li Long planned to solve these contents one by one before early spring next year. Of course, the most important point was that he planned to take over the courtyard before the New Year. If he really wanted to do it, the courtyard must be made his own as soon as possible, and then put up a sign.

Otherwise, after everyone spreads the word and knows that this acquisition station is not open, who will take the initiative to come to the door to sell things in the future?

The next morning after breakfast, Hearing Li Long went to the street to ask about things. If you want to say who this courtyard belongs to, the street must be the clearest.

The courtyard of the acquisition station and Hearing Li Long's large courtyard both belonged to the North City Street. Hearing Li Long had dealt with them when he bought Old Ma's courtyard before, but now those people didn't remember.

If ordinary people come to find them, the street might not pay much attention, so Hearing Li Long drove the jeep and went with the work permit of the State Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

The people in the street office enthusiastically helped Hearing Li Long check the ownership of the property. This house was public property.

That is to say, it is currently the county's asset. According to the hint of this street office staff, it is highly likely that this courtyard will belong to their street management next year.

As for how to use it when the time comes, it depends on the situation.

Hearing Li Long asked where to go if he wanted to buy or rent this courtyard.

"Find the Housing Management Office." The street cadre said, "This house is currently registered under their name and managed by them."

Hearing Li Long knew this was more troublesome. The buying and selling of public housing at this time was still relatively strict. Renting was fine, but buying public housing was difficult.

However, since he knew the source of that courtyard, even if he didn't buy it, renting it was fine.

He thanked this cadre and went to the Housing Management Office.

The staff of the Housing Management Office helped him check after seeing Hearing Li Long's work permit.

"The property rights of this courtyard are indeed with us. Do you want to rent it?"

"Yes, rent it to open an acquisition station." Hearing Li Long didn't hide his purpose.

"Doesn't your Supply and Marketing Cooperative have its own courtyard? Is the County Supply and Marketing Cooperative a subordinate unit of the State Cooperative?" That staff member misunderstood Hearing Li Long's meaning, "Still want to open another one?"

"The things acquired are different." Hearing Li Long said, "This time I rented it in my personal name."

"Personal name?" The staff member was stunned for a moment, "This... it's not impossible." It was already 1985, and some trends were very obvious. Revitalizing the market economy had become the mainstream, and the staff of the Housing Management Office had even heard that private buying and selling of public housing would be allowed in the future.

Of course, it was just a rumor, and it was not clear whether it could be realized.

Hearing Li Long had a work permit and drove a jeep that only cadres at or above the section level could sit in. The license plate number was indeed from Beiting. So after the staff of the Housing Management Office registered his work permit, they rented the courtyard to him at the original price.

This matter went so smoothly that Hearing Li Long was a bit surprised.

But after thinking about it, he understood. At this time, there was no ID card, and the work permit was much more useful than the production team's certificate. And the rent wasn't expensive; the annual rent for a courtyard was one hundred and fifty yuan, and Hearing Li Long rented it for three years.

If the maximum period given by the Housing Management Bureau wasn't three years, Hearing Li Long planned to rent it for a few more years.

Since the courtyard had already been rented, the next step was the matter of handling the license.

As for the sales channels for materials, he planned to feel it out slowly. Some he could feel out himself, and for those he couldn't, he planned that if he really received unexpected things, he would go to Chen Hongjun.

At worst, acquire it here and sell it to Chen Hongjun's old unit. Anyway, someone would want it.

When eating at noon, Gu Xiaoxia was also a bit surprised to hear that Hearing Li Long had rented the courtyard.

"I really didn't expect things to go so smoothly. Since this is the case, do you think you should go to the courtyard first to tear down that notice and replace it with one?" Gu Xiaoxia was truly supporting Hearing Li Long to engage in a career this time.

"Right, right, right, I'll go after eating. Then I'll go to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative in the afternoon to ask Section Chief Li about handling the license."

He wasn't sure whether his work permit would still be useful at the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, so it was best to ask Li Xiangqian to explore the way first.

Hearing Li Long went to relay Director Qian's words to Li Xiangqian the day after he returned from Beiting.

After Li Xiangqian heard Director Qian's words, he was silent for a while and then relieved, without saying much.

I don't know how Old Li is doing now.

In the afternoon, Hearing Li Long went to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative and went to Old Li's office with ease.

When he saw Old Li, Hearing Li Long was a bit surprised—Li Xiangqian was holding a cup and looking at the newspaper with a smile, his face glowing, and he looked like something good had happened.

"Section Chief, is there any good news? Why do you look like this, feeling like a happy event is coming!" Hearing Li Long didn't be polite when entering the room, and while pouring water for himself, he asked.

"You kid are getting less and less polite, damaging me as soon as you enter the door." Li Xiangqian opened the drawer, took out a small bag of tea leaves, and said: "Come, taste this tea, someone gave it to me yesterday."

Hearing Li Long looked at the packaging, which was considered very exquisite in this era, and asked suspiciously:

"Section Chief, did you do a big favor for someone? Giving you such good tea?"

"Hehe, can't guess it?" Li Xiangqian smiled, "Guess?"

Hearing Li Long took the tea leaves and thought while putting them into the cup.

Old Li has good news? (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 766 =====
