Chapter 81: Dilemma
On the fourth day, Tong Chen drove the pickup truck at home and set off at dawn, as for the driver's license, he had already obtained it a few years ago, but he usually didn't drive much, so his driving skills have been a little rusty.
Yangnan Town is the supply point of most of the vegetables in the entire area of Wuw County, and it is more than an hour away from Beigou Village, although there are not many cars on the road at this hour, but Tong Chen is cautious or not fast, and it took more than two hours to reach the destination.
This is the first time Tong Chen has come to this place, and when he came, the entire wholesale market was already crowded, and all kinds of large and small vehicles were busy back and forth.
Tong Chen finally found a parking space, parked the car, and walked into the wholesale market and began to shop.
Not to mention, the scale of this wholesale market is really not small, several times larger than the morning market in Tongchen County, in which the number of common vegetables and fruits is very large, such as Chinese cabbage, white radish, potatoes, apples, oranges and so on.
Some are where the car is parked, open the car body, and sell it directly at the price, and some are still common stores, in which there are many types of goods.
Tong Chen walked all the way, he found that most of the agricultural products received in the village were here, and there were also some summer vegetables, only some uncommon flour, and the products that needed to be manually reprocessed were not seen, and the price was much more favorable than the market price, but people would not sell it if they were less.
"Boss, how do you sell these potatoes?", Tong Chen asked as he came to a truck full of potatoes.
The truck driver glanced at Tong Chen and said casually: "Five cents a catty, five hundred catties."
It's only five cents, and the price is really not expensive, cheaper than the price I bought in the village, so it seems that people can't blame people for not buying their own potatoes.
But Tong Chen also knows that this potato looks very cheap, but after careful calculation, it is not so cost-effective, first of all, people are five hundred pounds is five cents a pound, but who can buy so much at one time, the store stall does not dare to eat so much at a time, the first space is needless to say, sometimes some people buy more and have no place to put it, second, the more things are put the older they are, and even sprouts, then they can't be sold, and the market price is not fixed, today may still be five cents, maybe tomorrow it will drop another dime.
And large supermarkets, the store is different, people first have the scale, the flow of people is also a lot, if you can't sell it in one day, two days will be about the same, sometimes, the scale represents the profit.
If you can't buy 500 catties and want to buy 1 or 200 catties, even if people are willing to sell it, it's another price.
Tong Chen took out a box of cigarettes, took out one and gave it to the driver: "Boss, come and smoke a cigarette, how is your business?
Tong Chen doesn't smoke, he prepared a box of good cigarettes in advance, just to use in this situation.
The driver glanced at the cigarette handed over, expertly pulled out the lighter, lit it in his mouth, and smoked it.
"Business, that's it, there are old customers on this day, it sells quickly, and there are fewer people who buy it, so it's natural to waste some time, and this car of potatoes is not from our province, I ran a long distance from the neighboring province to pull it back."
"Amazing, the potatoes they have there should be very cheap, it's really hard to run so far," Tong Chen complimented.
"It's worth it to make a little more money with your hard work, and do you know why I got potatoes from there?", the driver suddenly asked.
"Isn't it possible to sell for more money?"
So the driver shook his head: "At first, I didn't know that potatoes were cheap there, didn't I see a big truck pulling a cart of potatoes to sell in our place one day, but this car is not our provincial car, but from other places, I thought, since they are from so far away to sell here, why don't I go to them to buy goods."
"Boss, you still have a bright brain, you have to do business like this now, although you have to suffer a little more, but you also earn a lot."
Originally, Tong Chen's purpose in coming to the wholesale market was to buy something to sell back, but after thinking about it, he felt that he was confused, and other stores would not come to wholesale, and they would wholesale as much as they sold out.
After being stunned for a while, Tong Chen figured it out, since he came, he couldn't run in vain, and he didn't necessarily have to go to the store to sell it when he pulled something back.
Next, Tong Chen selectively bought several goods, but he didn't want a lot of them, so the price was not particularly cheap.
Starting the car, Tong Chen carefully reversed and prepared to pour out of the parking space.
"Bang Bang Bang"
Suddenly, Tong Chen found a man banging on his car through the rearview mirror, and he had no choice but to stop the car again.
"Do you know how to drive a horse, you hit Lao Tzu's car and don't stop."
As soon as Tong Chen got out of the car, he saw a man wearing a black down jacket and a peaked cap scolding, and his eyes turned to a black Audi next to him.
There was obviously a white scratch on the door, the car was placed horizontally, and in an instant, Tong Chen probably knew what had happened, it should have been in the process of reversing, and the car happened to pass behind his own car, and it happened that his car had touched his car? Or did his car accidentally hit his own car?
"You won't be slow when you reverse, look at Lao Tzu's Audi door with such an obvious trace, Lao Tzu still has something, I don't have time to ink with you, take a thousand yuan to this matter and it's over", the cap man said arrogantly.
Tong Chen is very sensible, not a little flustered, he just reversed the process, from the rearview mirror also found the car, although the rearview mirror also has a lot of blind spots, but he did not notice that he hit his car, and when the car passed, it seemed to keep a short distance from his car, and besides, his own reversing speed could not be slower.
"You're dumb on the horse, Lao Tzu made you lose money", the man in the cap said and walked a few steps towards Tong Chen.
Tong Chen didn't pay attention to him immediately, but walked to the car and took a closer look, there was indeed a scratch on the door, this scratch was very thin and not short.
"Your scratch is made with a sharp weapon such as an awl, and you have to work hard to touch the porcelain", Tong Chen said unhurriedly.
The cap man's expression changed slightly, but he quickly calmed down.
"What are you talking about? Obviously, your car was drawn like this, and what kind of sharp weapon was made, I went crazy, and I rowed my own car."
Tong Chen smiled: "If my car hits your car, the marks drawn are definitely not so slender, but should be relatively thick, and the position of the scratches on your car door is not the same as the height of my car rear, according to the height of my car, no matter which angle is drawn to your car, the scratches should not be exactly in the middle of the door, if you don't believe it, you can take a tape measure and measure it."
The cap man's expression gradually became gloomy, he would not have taken any tape measure, because he was just trying to make money, but he didn't expect that the young man in front of him could be so calm when he encountered this kind of accident, and other people had already panicked when they encountered similar things, and wanted to calm things down quickly, in addition, he could find so many loopholes, it was really a little clever.
However, he wasn't going to settle for it.
