Chapter Twenty-Three: Printing Money

Hong Yanwu's judgment once again convinced the "old knifefish". Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info fire and literature ?.? w?w?r?a?nw?e?n?'n?e?t

He didn't expect that the more than 60 catties of sea cucumbers that he had to sell for almost a month on his own would be sold out by Hong Yanwu in less than a day.

Hong Yanwu still uses the old method, but when he opens the door in broad daylight and puts the bag containing the sea cucumber at the door, someone consciously comes to the door to deliver money.

And what people didn't expect was that even the manager of the guest house begged to come to the door after inadvertently learning the news from the guest, wanting Hong Yanwu, the "supernatural" "Beijing Second Commercial Bureau Buyer" to give him a few catties of sea cucumbers at a low price.

Of course, Hong Yanwu couldn't refuse, so he generously sold the manager's five catties and thirty sea cucumbers at the purchase price of four cents each.

The manager is simply happy and crazy, grateful and grateful, and a person who praises the people of Beijing is bold and righteous. After hearing that Hong Yanwu and the others planned to stay here for six days, they actually wrote a note with a stroke of a pen, and made the decision to exempt Hong Yanwu from their room fee.

Naturally, the invoice still has to be issued, otherwise Hong Yanwu will not be able to reimburse him when he goes back, and he will not be able to take advantage of the public. However, the manager's thoughtfulness is purely superfluous, because he doesn't know that Hong Yanwu is simply reimbursing himself, and the waived room fee is directly the benefit in his hands.

Therefore, after such a calculation, Hong Yanwu and their business are not at a loss, and a sea cucumber is still sold for eight cents.

It's just that this incident made the "old knife fish" feel very incomprehensible. He couldn't figure it out, the manager of the guest house was obviously a local from Bencheng, so why didn't he go to the market to buy sea cucumbers? The sea cucumbers there were cheaper, so why bother to take advantage of favors to go around this bend.

For this reason, Hong Yanwu made his own inference.

First of all, he believes that the information of this era is still too closed. After all, not all people in Bencheng are aware of the situation of private transactions at the entrance of the market. Even if everyone knows that this kind of private business can be done there, but most of the people are people who follow the rules, and how many people dare to buy goods in private hands? You know, once caught, both buyers and sellers will be punished.

In addition, most of the people who patronize the market are housewives or the elderly who are responsible for buying groceries and cooking, and there are few men who go to work, let alone small and powerful leaders such as the manager of the guest house.

In the eyes of these women and the elderly, no matter how cheap the sea cucumbers on the market are, they will feel that they are expensive, and they will not inquire about the price at all if they do not need it. Even if there is a demand, the people buy things cheaply, basically do not ask about the best 30 sea cucumbers, choose the basic sea cucumbers below 50 heads, so the best thing to sell in the market is 80 sea cucumbers.

On the contrary, the manager of the guest house and the guests who live here are not as good as the things are, and those who can buy 30 heads will never consider 50 heads.

This is because the bureaucratic atmosphere in society at this stage is too heavy, and everything has to be done by giving gifts. It has become a habit for them to be sent to usher, and it is best to make friends with people who have identity and can be used, and they are good at leading and patting their superiors. In order to communicate with each other, harm the public and private, and seek more benefits for themselves. Then the shot will naturally not be stingy.

Also, in fact, the more people like the guest house manager, the more superstitious they are about relationships and the role of the back door. If you tell him that there are cheaper sea cucumbers on the market, he won't believe them. Even if he believes, he will have preconceptions to guess that the things in the market are fake, and they are by no means as good as those obtained by people with status.

Even Hong Yanwu finally made a bold guess, saying that the people who couldn't go to the beach to collect sea cucumbers in the peak season just poured their hands and sold the collected sea cucumbers at a high price by boasting that they had a way.

These words are reasonable, they sound very reasonable, basically all the doubts of "Old Knife Fish" can be explained clearly, which makes him deeply convinced. But after a long silence, he let out a long sigh that was unconsciously complicated and indescribable.

To put it bluntly, one is that he thinks that the way the "sea bumpers" sell sea cucumbers at the entrance of the market is really wrong and stupid. In vain, no real buyer was found.

The second is that he is very dissatisfied with the status quo of using power for personal gain in society and giving gifts, but these people are the main demanders of sea cucumbers, so he can't help but be awkward, and he is very conflicted.

Third, Hong Yanwu's astonishing insights made him feel a kind of admiration from the bottom of his heart. He clearly had a hunch that as long as there was Hong Yanwu, this summer, he would be able to stand up to him for several years......

Thinking of this, "Old Knife Fish" is indeed an understanding person. But despite this, after Hong Yanwu took out the general account that night, the final income still scared him.

Since Hong Yanwu was not in a hurry to sell this time, he looked like he was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai to deal with the people who bought the sea cucumbers, so the transaction price was better than yesterday.

After calculation, the sea cucumbers of 20 catties and 50 heads were actually sold at an average price of 4 cents and 5 heads. Thirty sea cucumbers, which were nearly forty catties, were sold for a high price of eight cents each. So the more than 60 catties of sea cucumbers turned out to be more than 1,470 yuan.

If the total purchase cost of 816 yuan, the additional 90 yuan for customized tools and 10 catties of food stamps are removed, then the net profit is more than 560 yuan, which is not the price of a five-day stay in vain, and it is only one day. In the opinion of the "old knifefish", this has caught up with the speed of printing money.

Chen Liquan and "Little Baizi" were naturally even more happy, and immediately went to the "Seafood Building" to have a big meal. It was also said that tomorrow let the "old saury" introduce a few more "sea bumpers".

Unexpectedly, although Hong Yanwu happily agreed to pay for a treat, he shook his head at the matter of continuing to collect sea cucumbers tomorrow, saying that this time it would end here. His reason is that he will accept it when he sees it, and he can't make money in a hurry. Otherwise, if you do this for another day, the movement will be too big, and if you don't get it right, you should arouse the suspicion of others. In the remaining days, everyone simply went to the streets together, replenished the supplies, and waited for the tools to arrive.

Hong Yanwu's words made Chen Liquan and "Little Baizi" quickly calm down, they thought about it for a while, and they had to admit that they were a little hot. There is nothing else to say about Hong Yanwu's decision.

Especially the "old knife fish" who wanted to persuade one or two, was even more satisfied with Hong Yanwu to the point where he had nothing to say. Hong Yanwu's insight, ability, and old man's seriousness deeply impressed him, and so far, he has the same trust in Hong Yanwu as Chen Liquan and "Little Baizi", almost superstitious.

In this way, from the fourth day of living in the guest house, Hong Yanwu deposited the money in the bank, except for buying three pairs of fins and replenishing the supplies for touching the sea, they were completely rested, and every day they just experienced the unique style of this coastal city like tourists.

These people not only had a big meal, but also ate all the high-end restaurants such as "Seafood Restaurant", "Qingshan Hotel", "Huibin Hotel", "Bohai Hotel" and "Qunying Building", went to the cinema, visited shopping malls and parks, and each of them got a haircut and went to the photo studio to take a group photo together. Not to mention how beautiful those days were, they were almost better than the real immortals.

In the past few days, the only dispute that has occurred within this small group is that the "old swordfish" refuses to accept the 150 yuan given to him by Hong Yanwu.

Although Hong Yanwu said that he had said that all income would be a share of "old saury", and there was no introduction to "old knifefish", he would not be able to receive sea cucumbers. But this "old sea bumper" is the most reasonable, and he thinks that this is Bai Zhan Hong Yanwu and they are cheap, but they don't want to. In the end, he even said that if Hong Yanwu wanted to mention this matter again, he would no longer take them to "touch the sea".

Therefore, Hong Yanwu can only rest for the time being. However, he remembered that the "old swordfish" had always been envious of the old pocket watch in Chen Liquan's hand, and when he went to the trust store to buy clothes, he lay on the watch counter to see if it was enough, and he had a new idea in his heart.

So he quietly went to the trust store and spent 110 yuan to buy an almost brand new watch as a gift for the "old swordfish". Although I couldn't buy a Swiss watch in good condition, the locally-made "Pearl" brand watch in Bincheng was a well-known brand-name at this time, which still made the "old swordfish" love it.

Hong Yanwu said very resolutely at that time that the price of this watch was far less than that of the "old knifefish", and if the "old knifefish" refused to accept it, then he would throw this watch into the sea.

This kind of categorical sincerity naturally completely disintegrated the "old knifefish"'s already resolute refusal. At the same time, in his heart, he also accepted Hong Yanwu's affection even more. So with a heartfelt touch, he was very embarrassed to accept this watch.

Although he still does not have confidence in Hong Yanwu and their ability to catch the "Frustrated Tiger Dragon", in order to protect their lives to the greatest extent, he really wants to teach them all underwater skills without reservation...... (To be continued.) )
