Chapter 64: Price Reduction
As soon as he walked out of the gate of the "Victory Guest House", "Flying Crab" turned his face and it was not him.
He no longer looked pitiful and grateful, but turned into a gloomy owl. As soon as he walked around the corner of the street, he spat hatefully in the direction of the "Victory Guest House".
"Phew!"
Then he couldn't stop scolding with a whining mouth.
"I don't believe it, if you want to keep me, who would dare to oppose it? Now I don't talk about any affection, I don't even have a straight eye to add me, and I will return the eldest brother! I have always treated you as a god, and I have brought you cigarettes and alcohol, which is really redundant!"
"Bunny cubs! It has been unanimously decided that Lao Tzu is a deserter? What kind of grandson are you pretending to be? Damn, you really entered the class room, see which of you can still fight righteously!"
"Hmph! Regardless of your own brothers, you can just mess with those people in the capital! People are professional hooligans in the capital, I don't believe it, in the end, you can get good. For the sake of a lot of money, be careful that the people of the capital give you all to play!"
For a long time, although I was happy, after all, today's ultimate goal was not achieved, and I still regretted it in my heart.
"Flying Crab" reluctantly began to talk to himself again.
"It's a pity! In the future, you will have to figure out how to sell sea cucumbers on your own! Although this 1,000 yuan saving is enough to spend a few years. It's not as convenient as picking up money here! Alas, a chicken that can lay golden eggs just flies like this......"
With a heart full of loss, "Flying Crab" had to walk away.
He didn't really care much about losing face and being humiliated. There are only two things lingering in his mind now, that is, the future of relying on himself in the future seems to be a little blank, and the jealousy that the "general" group can still make a fortune in silence.
And when he walked two streets unconsciously, he was surprised to find a very strange thing. For some reason, the fish shop is usually empty, and there are a lot of people.
Out of subconscious sensitivity and the disposition of wanting to see the excitement, he immediately walked over quickly to find out.
Unexpectedly, when he plunged into the crowd to take a look, and then listened to the people next to him talk like this, the indignation just now was all transformed into joy.
He quickly squeezed out the fish shop again, and went straight to a restaurant on the side of the road with a smile. If nothing else, he had to take two sips for the good deeds that came down from heaven.
Dare to be unprecedented, the sea cucumber in the aquatic product store has dropped the price.
Those of fifty fell six dollars per catty, and those of eighty fell five dollars per catty. And some people speculate that if you don't get it right, you have to continue to fall. So the people who surrounded just now wanted to buy but didn't dare to buy, chattering, and it became a mess.
Of course, the price of sea cucumbers has dropped, which is not a good thing for any "sea cucumber". But who makes some people suffer a huge deficit in comparison!
What's more, all the sea cucumbers in the hands of the "flying crab" have been shot, and he still has a thousand yuan of cash given by the "general" in his pocket, so he doesn't care even more when he only wants to make a small profit in front of him. In his heart, he only has the happiness and pleasure of harming others and himself.
Hahaha!
God really has eyes, I think you are still beautiful! Lao Tzu is the real blessed person!
Hehe, in order to fill up, you will give us 50 catties of sea cucumbers and 1,000 yuan for nothing......
What do you say in that Beijing dialect? You're a fool! I don't appreciate you at all!
Don't give you cigarettes and alcohol, hum, what kind of high pretend. Uncle, I'll enjoy it myself......
Hong Yanwu knew that the price of sea cucumbers had been reduced a day later.
In addition to the "General", "Sanjiazi" and "Shrimp Crawler", who all reported to him one by one, he himself clearly felt it from the sea cucumber trade.
As a direct result of price reductions, customers who are interested in buying are no longer willing to pay a high price, and transaction volumes drop rapidly as prices are not negotiated.
And there are many customers who bought sea cucumbers a day ago and ask for either a refund from the transaction price or simply return the money.
In this regard, Hong Yanwu readily met the demands of these people, and quickly evacuated from this guest house because he sensed that the situation was not good.
At this time, the rationality of Hong Yanwu's latest arrangement was also highlighted for the first time. Since their dwellings were separated from the places of sale, they avoided even greater trouble and losses after they were evacuated in time.
Of course, there is also some element of luck in this.
Because on the same day, the waiter of this guest house found that nearly 20 guests had desperately knocked on the room in room 201, and they all came to the front desk to inquire after looking for someone to no avail.
And the purpose of these guests is the same, that is, to find the guests in the capital who have rented there and return the sea cucumbers that they bought at a high price.
Upon noticing the anomaly, the waiter quickly reported the situation to the hostel manager.
Like the waiter, the manager was naturally shocked to learn that so many people had bought sea cucumbers. Roughly counting the amount, I feel extremely terrifying.
His first reaction was to think that these guests had encountered a scammer, but fortunately, after verification, it was found that the sea cucumbers that everyone bought were top-notch dried ginseng.
This made the manager secretly relieved, because if there was really a big case in the guest house, he would have to take care of it somewhat. His superiors, regardless of whether he was wronged or not, must have put the blame for lax management on his head.
Now, the situation is not too bad, and there is still room for maneuvering.
So the manager "kindly" analyzed it for the guests, saying that this matter was suspected of speculation, and if it was to be investigated, it would be reported to the police.
At that time, once the public security organs inquired, they were afraid that the extra money spent by the guests would not be returned, and the sea cucumbers would also be confiscated. If they can't get it right, they have to inform their respective units, and maybe they will have to delay even the business they need to do on a business trip.
In this way, the guests have no choice but to rest their minds.
Everyone understands the truth, and no matter how much you don't forgive, the gains outweigh the losses. Although the price of buying is inevitably more expensive, but after all, things are good things, and they can't be seen in the store, which is better than being beaten with 50 boards each, and then "bamboo baskets are empty", right?
As for the waiters involved, the manager is even better. He deliberately instructed a few words, and gave her two days of personal leave, which was exchanged for the same closed secret.
In short, this incident is not big or small, but once it is reported, it may arouse the vigilance of the public security department, but due to the selfishness of the guest house manager Mingzhe to protect himself, it has been calmed down in this way.
Since the bad impact has not been caused, the various guest houses in Ben Cheng are still safe places where they can buy and sell at will.
As for Hong Yanwu, although he was in a hurry by the sudden price reduction, it was not to the point of being anxious.
Because the actual situation is that he has only sold it in that one guest house in the past few days. Even if something happens, he is sure that the consequences will be controlled within a certain range.
From an economic point of view, he got rid of more than 200 catties of sea cucumbers in total, in exchange for more than 6,700 yuan in cash, and if you add the balance of the public account, it is 17,300 yuan.
As the saying goes, "If you have food at home, you don't have to worry about it." With so much cash in hand, even if their sea cucumbers become worthless, they will definitely not be able to lose money.
It is relatively troublesome, but we must find out as soon as possible why this price reduction is coming, how long will it last, whether it will be reduced again, and even the impact on the sea cucumber market in Beijing.
Only in this way can he make the right judgment about what to do in the future.
Therefore, Hong Yanwu discussed with the "generals" and felt that the situation was unclear, so it was better not to act rashly for the time being. Not only are the sea cucumbers no longer sold, but they are also temporarily not collected.
Hong Yanwu formally proposed, on the one hand, that the "three zi", "shrimp crawlers" and "little baizi" go to various places separately to notify the "sea bumpers" to stop urgently.
On the other hand, he and Chen Liquan and the "general" and Han Ying went separately to find out the news in the city, trying to find out what was going on when the "sea bumpers" met again.
Of course, we will never let everyone suffer, and the sea cucumbers that have been harvested will still be received at the original price.
Naturally, no one will object to Hong Yanwu's proposal. Everyone knows how important time is in this situation.
No one said a word at all, and then immediately according to the plan, each performed its own duties, and started to act separately.
