Zhong Shan left the rolling mill after receiving his salary.
He had long forgotten about the cleaning of the workshop. No one would criticize him when he returned after the new year.
In 1960, the city was not as prosperous as it was in the 21st century. However, there were still millions of people in the city now.
"I really didn't expect to return to this era one day.”
"Unfortunately, with my personal ability, I can't push the general trend. In a short period of time, I can't benefit the people.”
"The turmoil in the future will spread throughout the entire country with Beijing as the center.”
"As for doing big things, we have to wait for the wind of reform and opening up.”
Zhong Shan sighed.
The mottled old city walls and gray streets were filled with the aura of the times and history.
It was the end of the year, and the workers had all received their salaries. Therefore, there were many pedestrians walking on the streets of the city. The bigger shops were even crowded with people. Many people were preparing for the New Year.
"If we can open a shop at this time, we will definitely make a lot of money.”
Zhong Shan looked around like a businessman.
"What a pity."
Zhong Shan shook his head regretfully.
In this era, private enterprises could not be used at all because private enterprises could easily be treated as capitalists. In the current situation, most of them were state-owned or joint venture industries.
Of course, just because they couldn't be privatised didn't mean that they couldn't be privatised. There were still many people who quietly opened their own Ministores to make a living. As long as no one cared about it, some small troubles wouldn't be a problem. They could find supplies in advance.
Those who could find the source of the goods had a strong force behind them. In addition, it was a small matter. Even if the wind blew not long after, as long as no one reported it, they would not be involved in the storm.
Even if he was reported, it was just a small matter. If his savings did not reach a certain amount, he would not be treated as a capitalist. However, if he was reported, he would definitely be involved in the storm and would definitely be sent to reform through labor for a few years.
Most of the real capitalists ate peanuts or could only stay in the labor camp for the rest of their lives.
Zhong Shan wanted to open a shop in the short term to sell some of the resources in the secluded domain of heaven and earth.
However, the moment this thought appeared, Zhong Shan rejected it.
If one wanted to open a shop, even if it was privately owned, they had to go through the street office. Then, the street office would go through various inspections. Only after the inspections were passed could they open a shop.
If a private company wanted to pass the review, it would not be possible without a strong background. After the review, the country might even participate in the joint venture.
Secondly, the people in the courtyard house were not to be trifled with, especially the second uncle Liu Haizhong, the third uncle Yan Bugui, Xu Damao, Jia Zhangshi and the others. As long as Zhong Shan dared to open a shop under such circumstances, Zhong Shan believed that these people would definitely send him in if they had the chance.
The most important issue was the supply of goods, which Zhong Shan could not explain clearly.
Tell others about the secluded domain of heaven and earth?
Then his life would come to an end.
Zhong Shan then went to Pigeon City, which was the black market.
The existence of the black market was illegal. However, in this era, there was a shortage of supplies. Buying things in official stores not only required money, but also tickets. Many people could not afford to live.
Therefore, the higher-ups simply turned a blind eye. As long as they did not make a big fuss, they would let it go. This could be considered as giving some people a way out.
There weren't many people in Pigeon City during the day. The best time to buy things was at two or three o'clock in the morning. Because there were red armbands in the day, it was easy to be caught.
Zhong Shan had come to Pigeon City to understand the situation in Pigeon City first. Then, he would think about selling a batch of supplies in exchange for some money and tickets.
Before coming here, Zhong Shan had also thought about selling some rice, meat, and flour to the rolling mill.
As soon as this idea came out, Zhong Shan didn't even think about it. It was impossible.
Selling it once might not cause any problems, but as long as it was sold once, the higher-ups would definitely not let it go.
In this era, it was too easy for ordinary people to offend their leaders.
The higher-ups would definitely investigate this matter thoroughly.
Zhong Shan had never thought that he was the smartest person in the world. To be able to become a leader, no one was simple.
Zhong Shan knew that there was always someone better than him.
Zhong Shan wasn't particularly short of money, so he didn't want to take the risk of getting himself into trouble.
What he needed to do was to wait for an opportunity to soar into the sky.
Zhong Shan walked around Pigeon City for a while before leaving. He couldn't stay in Pigeon City for too long during the day because he would be easily caught by the red armband. If he was caught, it would be very troublesome because he would have to investigate everywhere.
In any case, if he was caught, even if nothing happened, it would affect his reputation. Although Zhong Shan was not afraid, he did not want to cause unnecessary trouble for himself.
When he returned to the backyard of the courtyard house, Zhong Shan met an auntie who had just come out of the Deaf Madam's place.
Mrs. Deaf was getting old, and most of the time, an auntie was taking care of her.
Secondly, if there was food, Silly Zhu would send some over.
The Deaf Madam doted on Silly Zhu the most because Silly Zhu looked very honest. The Deaf Madam also wanted someone to support her in her old age.
Actually, Silly Zhu was very smart, and Mrs. Deaf also saw it. However, in this courtyard, the only person who could take care of her in her old age was probably Silly Zhu.
Actually, Shazhu was planning to buy the Deaf Mistress 'house. First Uncle Yi Zhonghai, Second Uncle Liu Haizhong, Third Uncle Yan Bugui, and Jia Zhangshi were all planning to buy the Deaf Mistress' house.
Silly Zhu looked the dumbest, but he was also the smartest.
The person who took care of the Deaf Madam for the longest time was an auntie, but the Deaf Madam's house was eventually taken by Silly Zhu.
Zhong Shan vaguely remembered some of the scenes in the courtyard house, but he did not want to participate in it.
He met a middle-aged woman and greeted her briefly. Zhong Shan then returned to his room and locked the door.
With a thought.
He disappeared from the room.
