Chapter 70: The Whole Family Moves Together
Hu Jianjun said that it was almost two yuan, and it was the price on the street, and one person carried 100 catties, isn't that two yuan?
"Then find someone to carry it, Dad, do you think it's okay to ask Big Daddy to dig it, someone else will carry one back and give two pieces, and Big Daddy will dig one back and give one piece, how about it?" This price is not too low, but Hu Mingchen can barely bear it.
"Looking for your father to dig coal, I don't know if your aunt agrees, what if she says anything?" Jiang Yucai said with some stinginess.
Hu Mingchen's aunt Liu Chunhua has not spoken to each other for more than a year since she quarreled with Hu Mingchen's family before. Even if there is something to do in Hu Mingchen's family, only his uncle Hu Jianye can't wipe his face, how can he say that he is also a brother, just like the last time Hu Jianjun was discharged from the hospital and came back from other provinces, it was just that Hu Jianye came up, and Liu Chunhua did not show up from beginning to end.
"What can he Liu Chunhua say, it was paid for money, and he didn't want to help in vain, I'm afraid that she won't be happy to send money to his family. Hu Jianjun said in a rough voice.
"Then I want you to go and please, I won't go. If you follow me, it is better to invite Hu Mingyi, Hu Mingyi can also dig it. Jiang Yucai said stiffly.
"If you don't go, I'll do it. ”
"Gotta have it, Mom and Dad, what a big deal it is, you look at the way you fight, it's the same for everyone, anyway, in addition to asking someone to dig it, you have to ask someone to carry it, by the way, you have to ask someone to wash it later, I remember that you washed the ginger for others before, it was three yuan and a hundred catties, right?" Seeing that Hu Jianjun and Jiang Yucai's words were more and more likely to quarrel, Hu Mingchen hurriedly reconciled and changed the topic.
"Well, three yuan and 100 catties, it's not easy to wash ginger, and the back and hands are sore from washing, and you can wash up to 200 catties a day. Hu Jianjun nodded in response.
"Then if you calculate it, if you wash a thousand catties a day, you will have to have five people, and it will cost you thirty yuan, and Mom, you will help me hire five people when the time comes. Hu Mingchen pinched his fingers and calculated.
"Brother, I'll help you wash it when the time comes, and you'll just give me your wages. Hu Yujiao interjected at this time and said.
"Hehe, you girl, even if you don't wash it, I'll give it to you. You're still young, don't wash it, ginger is very spicy, you won't be able to stand it. Hu Mingchen smiled and scratched Hu Yujiao's little head.
"What do you say, when the time comes, our whole family will have to wash, you will have to spend money to carry coal, it will cost you to dig coal, it will cost you to wash ginger, and even letting people carry you to your home to sell you will cost money, all like you, all the money is earned by others. What are we doing as a family? "The thought of spending so much money made Jiang Yucai feel distressed.
"Mom, how can there be anything to stare at, isn't it still responsible for roasting ginger? People come to sell it to give people a name, and after baking, they have to put it in a bag. In addition, people help our family work, don't you have to supervise, Mom, the task of supervision can be handed over to you, you have to help me keep an eye on it, if the quality of the ginger is not good, if it is not clean or not baked well, it will affect the selling price, your task is heavy. Hu Mingchen deliberately said this to dispel Jiang Yucai's vanity.
To be honest, the family has always been relatively poor, which makes both Jiang Yucai and Hu Jianjun a little looked down upon.
Now that his family is spending money to hire people for business, Jiang Yucai is in charge of supervision, which is equivalent to a small leader. Leaders can point and give orders, and their hearts will naturally feel comfortable and satisfied.
"I'll oversee it, and it's really a big task. Don't worry, son, Mom will help you take care of it, no matter what anyone does, don't try to escape my eyes. Feeling valued, Jiang Yucai really underwent a big change in attitude and emotion.
"With Mom, you are in the house, I will definitely put a hundred and twenty hearts, hehe. Hu Mingchen slapped a small sycophant at the right time.
"Xiao Chen, do you still sell the card at the gate of your school? I think it's quite profitable. Hu Yandie asked.
"Sell, of course, I have to continue to sell, on the one hand, I have to rely on the money from selling there to make up for this, on the other hand, even if our ginger is collected and we don't make money, there is still a way. Dad, Mom, when the time comes, it will really depend on you here, I don't have much time to take care of this side when I sell cards, ask someone to wash ginger, ask someone to carry the money to dig coal, and even part of the money for buying ginger, or move it from my selling card. During this time, I'm afraid I can't take money for you to spend, and when I finish this year's ginger business, I'll see how much I earn for you. Hu Mingchen said.
"It doesn't matter if you take the money or not, I just hope that the ginger you insist on making will not lose money. Jiang Yucai, who was given important responsibilities by Hu Mingchen, became much easier to speak.
"I won't lose, I won't lose, don't worry, I know it. Hu Mingchen encouraged with certainty.
"Xiao Chen, who will sell these gingers to at that time? Do you know where to sell them?" Hu Jianjun asked about Hu Mingchen's sales channels.
The biggest problem in doing business is the two ends, one end is how to buy it, and the other end is of course how to sell it. Buying in determines the cost, and selling determines the profit. No matter which side it is, if it is not handled well, it will affect the success or failure of the business.
How to buy it in, how to process it, to a certain extent, can be said to be in the hands of one's own hands, but how to sell it and where to sell it is not completely controlled. Hu Jianjun has never done ginger's business, and he is also blind to sales.
"Well...... I know in my heart, Boss Wang told me that when the time comes, he will sell it to his uncle, his uncle has been doing it for many years, whether it is to sell it to make medicine or condiments for others, he has the means and channels, don't worry. Hu Mingchen was speechless for a while, and could only use his agitation to tell a lie to perfunctory.
Hu Mingchen can really only lie, because he doesn't know where to sell it, and his experience in this area is worse than Hu Jianjun.
Hu Mingchen only knew that the price of dried ginger would soar this year, as long as the price came up, and he had the goods in his hand, he should be able to make money.
"Then did he promise to receive a pound of money?" Jiang Yucai, who has always been sensitive to losses or not, asked a key question.
"Hmm...... Not less than one piece...... A piece of five. Hu Mingchen originally wanted to say one piece, but after thinking about it, he felt that one piece was too low, so he quickly changed it to five pieces.
"Not less than one piece of five? Then this business can really be done, Hu Jianjun, this is profitable. The price of five pieces made Jiang Yucai a little excited and surprised.
"That Xiao Chen said at the beginning that this business will not be lost, you can't do this, you can't do that. Hu Jianjun said.
"Don't blame me, who told him not to say that they gave a guaranteed purchase price of five yuan. Jiang Yucai pursed her mouth and said disapprovingly.
"Mom and Dad, although people have agreed, you must keep it secret, and you can't talk nonsense outside. Someone asked, you just say you don't know, do you know?" Hu Mingchen cautiously admonished.
"Why can't you say that? If you say this, people will believe that our family can make money, and they will believe that our family has the strength to buy ginger, and the people who invite us to help will not be afraid that we will not be able to pay our wages." Jiang Yucai didn't understand why she couldn't say it to the outside world, in her opinion, if there was something good, she had to tell everyone to calm everyone's hearts.
"Mom, what you said is right, but have you ever thought about it, if you say outside that our dried ginger can be sold for at least five yuan, then how much money are you going to collect for ginger? Do you want to raise the price of ginger? If you suspect that the price of other people is high and you want to cut the price of others, people will say, your family makes so much money, can't you give a little bit to the villagers? When the time comes, you will become black-hearted people, understand? But if the price is raised, then even if you sell five pieces of dried ginger, how much more can you earn?" Since Hu Mingchen wants to do this business, it is impossible for him not to consider these plots.
"Oh, it's really yo, fortunately, if they also sell our house for a high price, then we will make a ghost, it makes sense, it makes sense, son, you still want to get it......" As soon as Hu Mingchen explained, Jiang Yucai suddenly became enlightened.
"It seems that you haven't done business in vain for a while, you have thought of these situations in advance. Hu Jianjun also sighed.
"Although our family does not squeeze those who sell ginger, we cannot let people raise the price arbitrarily. As long as we treat people fairly, that's fine. The principle of doing business is that if others earn more, we will earn less accordingly, anyway, he earns the part that belongs to him, and we earn the part that belongs to our family, and no one affects anyone. Hu Mingchen said.
"Brother, you are amazing, how can you understand so many things that your parents don't understand?" Hu Yujiao looked at Hu Mingchen with admiration.
"Hehe, I don't know much, there are some things, as long as you think about it more than you use your brain, you will understand. Hu Mingchen smiled modestly.
After the family discussed for more than two hours and finalized most of the important contents and links, the business of acquiring Jiang led by Hu Mingchen for several years began.
The next day, the whole family started to make preparations, and Hu Mingchen helped his father Hu Jianjun to clean up his yard first, and then went to find bricks to prepare to build a stove for roasting ginger.
Jiang Yucai took Hu Yandie and Hu Yujiao to clean the hall, since they want to buy ginger and roast it into dried ginger, there must be a room to stack those goods. And Hu Mingchen's house, a little more spacious, a little brighter is only the hall. The other rooms are either dark, damp or crowded, or leaking, and it is impossible to stack valuable dried ginger and ginger.
