Chapter 8: Provincial City Pathfinder

Hirakawa, the capital of Jiangbei province.
In the past life, Li Dong lived in this city for twelve years, four years in university, and eight years of work.
Thirty years of life have stayed in this city for almost half of the time, and Pingchuan is his second hometown.
Dongping County is about two hundred tens of kilometers away from Pingchuan and takes about three hours by car.
Li Dong was catching an early bus, and he set foot on this familiar land again around nine o'clock.
Touched the remaining change in his pocket, Li Dong secretly rejoiced, but at this time the fare has not increased, just enough to go back and forth, or even the money to ride the car.
Threw a steel plutonium and boarded the bus to the nearest vegetable market. Li Dong glanced out the window and was familiar with the strange scenery.
……
No matter where the food market is, there is a lot of noise, and the mixture of various smells makes people frown.
Li Dong has long been used to this kind of scene. When he was a child, his parents were busy. Many times he took Li Dong to the vegetable market for him to play alone. Sometimes he stayed for a whole day.
As the flow of people Li Dong quickly found the aquatic area, the Nanmen vegetable market is much larger than the Dongping vegetable market, and there are more vendors.
The aquatic area is also different from Dongping's stalls. The aquatic area here is the facade of a family, which is much cleaner than the messy and dirty small market.
Li Dong at a glance, the red lobster is easy to see, and many people sell it.
Although it is not yet the time when the lobster is officially launched, the people's enthusiasm for lobster consumption is rising.
Slightly relieved in his heart, Li Dong wandered around and chose a larger facade to stop.
"Boss, how to sell lobster?"
The owner of the busy shop did not raise his head, shouting: "8 small, 10 large."
Li Dong squatted down and looked at it, all of them were red-shelled lobsters. The small ones, almost all of them, had two or two weights.
Estimated that Li Dong let go of it for a moment, the retail price in the market is not low, compared with his profit ratio, the purchase price is almost five or six yuan a pound.
Didn't speak anymore, and waited for the busy bearded boss to finish Li Dong before getting up to talk.
"Boss, this is April, is the lobster easy to sell?"
"It's okay, this year the weather is hot, there are quite a lot of people eating. The main thing is the food stalls. You buy it and go back to try it. The taste is not bad."
Li Dong took out a bag of Yuxi from his pocket. This was bought by Dad during the New Year to decorate the facade. He had not been willing to smoke. Li Dongshun came when he left this morning.
Passed one to the boss. The bearded boss wiped his hand, took the cigarette and lit it, and said with a smile: "The little brother is very born, he opened his own shop?"
Li Dong smoked his cigarette and shook his head: "The family has contracted hundreds of acres of lakes in the southern suburbs. There are quite a lot of lobsters this year. , I'll check it out myself. "
"Oh!"
The boss nodded to understand, this kind of thing is very common.
Those fishmongers who came to the house to buy prices were desperately depressed, and some farmers went out to find their own way.
There are many lakes in the southern suburbs of Pingchuan, and there are many private contractors. Many aquatic products from Pingchuan come from there.
"Is the little brother fancy me here?"
The bearded man smiled awkwardly and said: "Don't look at my price, it's not cheap, in fact, it won't sell much in a day. Besides, it's cheaper to sell to those restaurants. no problem……"
Everyone who can make a successful business is the essence of the person. Li Dong understands the meaning before speaking to others.
"Don't, boss Chen is too humble. I just looked at it. I'm afraid you won't sell it for less than a hundred pounds."
"Little brother knows me?"
Bearded was a little surprised that Li Dong shouted his surname. As for how many things he sold, Li Dong just looked at it and there was no need to deny it.
Li Dong smiled and pointed to the signboard of the store, with the boss's last name and phone number on it.
Bearded smiled, turned to signal his wife to receive customers, and pulled Li Dong to stand aside and said: "To be honest, I haven't seen the goods and don't know how to do it. Besides, the people I buy here are acquaintances, take It ’s cheaper not to mention the convenience of the goods. It ’s not interesting to say these if the goods are short.
Li Dong nodded his head, no matter what kind of business he wants, it is long-term and convenient. Li Dong's own home is naturally aware of this.
But it is the truth to make money, as long as they are slightly cheaper than the wholesalers, these people keep rushing to ask for themselves.
"Boss Chen, let's not be polite anymore. This time I'm here to inquire about it. If you say a price, I will give you 10,000 pounds of goods every day if it is a problem."
"Oh, I laughed, I can't eat so much. Two thousand pounds a day, three small, five large."
Li Dong turned around and left, what was the profit of the two-kilo jin lobster price so much, he might as well just go to find food stalls to ship.
"Don't worry, little brother, how about a price?"
The big beard quickly pulled Li Dong. The small business bargaining is not the big company negotiation. It does n’t matter what the rules and regulations are.
"Mixed size, six yuan a catty, mostly large." Dong Dong's lobster market Li Dong watched in the morning, only divided into green and red shells, regardless of size.
"Six yuan! It's too expensive, and I don't get it so expensive from others!" Bearded exclaimed, saying it was unacceptable.
As for the size of the mashup, he has no problem, in fact, the purchase is all the size of the mashup, but only to the market these merchants are divided.
"You don't want too much, it's cheap. I can't deliver it at all. It's better to give it to the fishmonger."
Li Dong shrugged and said there was no way. Anyway, there was more than one of them in the market. Even if this was not possible, Pingchuan had more vegetable markets, and he was not worried about the collapse of the talk.
The beard hesitated for a moment and thought for a while: "So, how much cheaper would I be if I could eat more?"
"How much?"
"Ten thousand pounds a day!"
Li Dong frowned, so much, but the shop with a big beard couldn't eat it at all. He didn't want to cut off the sale and come back to find someone in a few days. If he didn't bother, he wasted his time.
Bearded saw Li Dong's suspicion, and smiled on his face, lowering his voice: "Do not hide the little brother, the other lobsters in the Nanping vegetable market are all from my own family, my family can't, and five or six are not. There is a problem. "
Li Dong rolled his eyes and was a family monopoly.
This kind of thing is very common. My dad, that is, several other marketers selling aquatic products are brothers and cousins.
These guys work together to suppress others and often prefer to run against others without making money.
Until they can't do what others can't do, they increase the price together. By then, if there is no outsider's price plus a little bit, it's not for them to say.
At the beginning of his stall, he was almost shut down by the run, but fortunately, the father and mother were full of tenacity, and they just clenched their teeth to dry, and finally got a foothold.
However, Li Dong is not in a mood to fight for others. This is the society. If he does not have the ability to work honestly, he must be prepared to lose money if he wants to do business.
"In that line, if 10,000 jin a day, I will give you a cheap penny ..."
"Don't, I don't want the little brother to lose money, five yuan a catty, cash now cash, I will not pick as long as it is not dead!"
Glanced at the beard, and Li Dong judged it, which was almost the reserve price of the beard.
Contrasted in my heart. Bearded should take about six or seven pieces from the wholesaler, but he takes less risk when he purchases less.
Now he bears a large risk of 10,000 catties a day, and he would not be willing if the price is high.
After hesitating for a moment, he nodded and said: "That line, I will give you the first product the day after tomorrow. You can see if you can accept it. If we can accept it, we will continue. If it is not good, we will take over the first business. ? "
It was his turn to hesitate next time. Ten thousand pounds is not a minority, but it is 50,000 yuan. In 1984, 50,000 yuan can buy a small house on the outskirts of Pingchuan.
Gritted his teeth and said, "Then we write a note, and we can't die more than five hundred pounds, and less than two or two can't exceed half!"
Li Dongsong breathed a sigh of relief, although he knew that this article had no legal effect, so anyone who did small business would like this.
Thinking about it, he nodded and said, "That's OK, but Mr. Chen, it's not enough to just write a note. If I deliver it, you really can't help me and I can't take you. If the lobster doesn't sell well, where can I find it? To be fair, do you think you should pay in advance ... "
When he saw a bearded face hesitated, Li Dong hurriedly said: "I will also put your ID card on you, so that you and I can rest assured that it is all done."
"That line, do you see five hundred percent?"
Li Dong rolled his eyes, UU reading www.uukanshu.com "This is a 50,000-dollar goods, boss Chen, 500 yuan is not enough for my car and fuel costs, and the artificial money is not limited."
"Haha, but I'm stingy, then give three thousand first, and then deduct the money from the payment." Bearded laughed, clearly in a good mood.
He never thought that Li Dong would cheat the three thousand dollars and ran away. The people who do business are still a little bit standard.
Furthermore, the conditions for family monopoly in the provincial vegetable market are naturally not bad, even if these 3,000 yuan are really cheated, it will not hurt the bones.
With Li Dong's ID card, he could not find it if he didn't believe it, so that the kid would not be able to walk around.
The two quickly wrote a note, and Li Dong also received a prepayment of 3,000 yuan, and he was more happy.
The ID card was left to the beard, and it was agreed that the delivery would be taken back the day after tomorrow. As for the address on the ID card, neither of them cared, and it was not all Pingchuan people who worked hard in the provincial capital.
……
When he left the vegetable market, Li Dong was already hungry and sweating.
I just found a stall and ate something. Li Dong's spirit got better. I thought I would have to deliver it the day after tomorrow. I had to find someone to get the lobster first. I was still busy.
Want to contact Lao Wang, but unfortunately it is inconvenient to have a mobile phone. Now the mobile phone is still a luxury for ordinary people, and it is really a little trouble without a mobile phone.
Thinking about it, Li Dong got up and walked to a place in his memory selling second-hand goods. The mobile phone was renewed quickly, and now it is not cost-effective to buy a new one.
Not to mention that the 3,000 yuan on hand is still urgent and can not be wasted.
Second-hand as long as you can make a phone call, if you want to make money, let's talk.
