Chapter 34 Acquisition of wicker
At night, after the passion, Mu Dong asked Xiao Xiao: "Daughter-in-law, what color do you say is good for painting the exterior wall of the building?"
Xiao Xiao thought for a while and said, "How about light yellow? It's clean and good-looking." Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
Mu Dong said: "Then do what my wife says." β
The next morning, everyone was busy, and Tan Jiaming was driving a crawler tractor to clear the road. Mu Dad and Second Uncle Mu took more than a dozen workers to clean the yard and the room on the first floor.
Now Boss Mu wants to recruit people, it's too simple. They were all old faces from the original two yards, and when they heard that Boss Mu was in need here, they immediately rushed here.
In addition to a teaching building, there is also a communication room and several tiled rooms in the courtyard. Mu Dong decided to keep the tiled houses, one directly converted into a dormitory, and the other several as dormitories. The communication room was too small and dilapidated, so it was simply demolished. The fence was also too low, and it was rebuilt and heightened, and the gate had to be replaced with an electric one.
Take your time.
Mu Dong took two turns in the courtyard, and together with Xiao Xiao, went to the town's Wenyin Agency.
Leaflets have already been printed, 20,000 copies. 32K size, big red, very festive design. There aren't many words on it.
Surprise !! buy all kinds of wicker at a high price!! Address: Tanzhuang Town, Nantou Old Primary School.
Deliver more than 500 pounds, and give a rice cooker. Deliver more than 1,000 pounds and give a mobile phone.
After getting the leaflet, Mu Dong pulled Xiao Xiao and drove to several towns in the north of the county. When they arrived nearby, they inquired about where the big market was today, and the two of them followed the instructions and went to the market.
The car was parked far away, and the two of them went to the wicker trading area with some leaflets in their arms.
Mu Dong first turned around, and today's market is 1.2 yuan per catty for white noodles and 2.2 yuan per catty for steamed noodles. Depending on the length of the wicker, it fluctuates a little bit, around a dime.
So Mu Dong began to distribute leaflets, shouting loudly: "Buy wicker at a high price, three white strips, two steamed strips, and give away rice cookers and mobile phones......
While shouting and handing out leaflets.
Xiao Xiao was a little embarrassed at first, but later saw that Mu Dong shouted energetically, and also shouted loudly: "Buy wicker at a high price......"
There were only dozens of stalls in the wicker trading area, and before they could get from one hair to the other, the two of them were surrounded by some curious vendors, answering all kinds of questions.
"Yes, the old primary school in Tanzhuang Town, where ...... will be collected"
"I plan to build a factory, and I received my own ......"
"Of course give cash, you can rest assured, there is money ......"
"Definitely give gifts, just opened, picture a happy ......"
"Tomorrow, welcome, welcome, 2000 pounds, then send two mobile phones." β
After answering, Boss Mu was tired and his mouth was dry. hurriedly finished distributing the leaflets, and ran away with Xiao Xiao.
Someone who followed and looked at it and found that the two young people were driving an Audi, so they believed it. I secretly calculated in my heart that if I have a few thousand catties of wicker at home, and if one catty is more expensive, I can sell it for a few hundred dollars more, or I will try to pull a thousand catties tomorrow, doesn't I say that a thousand catties will give a mobile phone......
Mu Dong and Xiao Xiao went to another bazaar, and after the same toss, they had a few interested customers.
Then it was fine, and the two drove to the county seat.
In rural areas, there is a cycle every five days, so some elderly people like to say one or two episodes to indicate the time. One episode is five days, just like a week is seven days.
For example, today is the eleventh day of the first lunar month, and this town is a fair, then the next time this town is a sixteenth day of the first month. It's called every six episodes. And the town next to it has two or seven episodes, and the town farther away has three or eight episodes......
Therefore, there are no more places to meet in the vicinity today, and Boss Mu took his daughter-in-law to the county seat.
I went to my aunt Mu Hong's restaurant first, and told me about getting a marriage certificate and buying a small school in the town, and my aunt was of course very happy.
At noon, he had lunch in the restaurant, and Mu Dong asked his uncle to help find a person with wicker expertise to help with the purchase and check the gates. Today he saw it at the bazaar, and there are still some cats. For example, he heard someone say, "You are old goods, and you are not worth this money." And Mu Dong couldn't see the difference between old goods and new goods at all.
Wang Shaoqiang made a phone call and really got in touch with someone. He was an old man, in his sixties, who made wicker baskets when he was young, and when he was older, he rushed to the market to sell wicker. Last year, there was a small car accident, and the person was fine, but he frightened his family and didn't let him go to the market everywhere, and now he lives with his wife at his son's house in the county. The old man was idle all day, asking around for work. A few years ago, I came to the restaurant to brush the plates for a few months, and told my son that it was for others to show the door. Later, the son found out the truth and dragged him home.
Wang Shaoqiang was also chatting with the old man, knowing that he did willow weaving when he was young. I didn't take it seriously at the time, but I didn't expect it to be used now.
The old man came running over in a hurry. As soon as Mu Dong said the situation, the old man was so happy.
"Go, go immediately, go without money. β
The old man's surname was Su, and Mu Dong asked, "Uncle Su, shouldn't your wife and son say hello?"
Old man Su said: "Regardless of them, let's run away first, aren't you in charge of food and lodging there? Let's go, hurry up ......."
Mu Dong was helpless, thinking to himself, how could it be like a bird out of the cage. This old man probably won't be able to work for a few days, so he still has to find someone else.
So Mu Dong drove, took Old Man Su and Xiao Xiao, first went to the Digital Plaza to wholesale 50 elderly mobile phones, and then went to the Electric City to wholesale 100 rice cookers. The Audi couldn't fit it, so I rented a truck and followed, then went to the tool market, bought an electronic scale with a maximum weight of one ton, and returned to primary school.
Dad Mu has already led people to clean up the two classrooms and come out, and the things on the truck will be put in first.
Mu Dong pondered for a moment whether he should vacate a classroom, decorate it into an office, and then clear out another room as a dormitory. The tiled house in the yard is still a little dirty, and it is not clean to live in. Mu Dong told his father about these new situations and asked Mu Dad to arrange the decoration.
Old man Su had already looked around, and learned that Mu Dong planned to put wicker in the classroom, and said: "The room is okay, it is not damp, it can be stored, but there are too many windows in these rooms, the light is too strong, and the sunlight will make the wicker too brittle." β
Mu Dong was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Uncle Su, what should I do then?"
Old man Su: "Don't be nervous, the windows on the south side of the room can be added with dark curtains, and the windows on the north side of the room don't need to be added. β
Mu Dong breathed a sigh of relief and was about to go and tell Mu Dad about the curtains. Think about it or forget it, and go to the curtain shop in town to order it later.
I respected Old Man Su a little bit in my heart, and he was really a professional, how could I know these things.
Mu Dong immediately drove to the town and found a curtain shop. After a while, I brought back a person, measured the size, and decided to use black. Mu Dong asked him to install the curtains on the first floor as soon as possible, and the curtains on the second and third floors could be delayed for a few days.
In the afternoon, a few people came looking for Mu Dong.
Several of them are young people from the village, and they usually work outside. They worked part-time to paint the exterior walls, and when they heard that Mu Dong in the village had bought a primary school in the town and wanted to paint it, they came to ask if they could take over the job.
Mu Dong was naturally willing, but he was worried about their craftsmanship and safety. A few people were also prepared, and brought some photos of their part-time jobs, Mu Dong looked at it, and it was indeed presentable, so he agreed, and told them to pay attention to safety.
The mode of cooperation is that the other party contracts labor and materials, and Mu Dong does not care about everything, first provides a start-up capital for them to buy paints, tools and ropes, and settles them after completion. During this time, Mu Dong said that he came to provide a hard hat. A few people are a little baffled. They don't know that Boss Mu still has a lot of hard hats in his hands.
The dormitory in the courtyard has not yet been cleaned up, so Mu Dong first arranged for Uncle Su to live in the dormitory of the yard and eat in the yard. It's just that I need to run around these days, and it's a bit hard. However, Boss Mu will personally pick up and deliver the car.
In the evening, Mu Dong took a look at the data of the past two days, sales are recovering, and a total of 100,000 yuan of sand has been sold in two days, and Mu Dong is quite satisfied.
On February 6, the twelfth day of the first lunar month, Mu Dong came to school early in the morning. Waiting for a customer who might come to sell wicker, but no one came.
Mu Dong has not been idle, and looked around. The first floor is almost finished, and some workers have already begun to clean the second floor.
Dad has arranged for a few skilled workers and is renovating the office and dormitory. The building is a staircase in the middle with three classrooms on each side. Mudon plans to use the first room on the east side of the foyer as an office and the first room on the west side as a dormitory.
Mudon adjusted his plans and abandoned the interior painting on the second and third floors. Just store the wicker temporarily, as long as it is cleaned up. The ground floor is a faΓ§ade that needs to be painted. In particular, Mu Dad was told that he must buy environmentally friendly paints for indoor painting.
The people who painted the faΓ§ade also came, fixing the ropes, adjusting some buckles and something. Mu Dong also went to the roof to take a look, they were indeed very professional, and all kinds of things were well prepared, so Mu Dong was relieved a lot.
When I got to the roof, I remembered whether the roof was leaking rain. I went to the room on the third floor and looked around, there were no water stains, and I was a lot more assured about the construction quality of this building.
Looking down on the third floor, Xiao Xiao ran over panting, and said breathlessly, "Come on...... Someone is coming...... Lailiu ...... Wicker!"
Mu Dong was overjoyed and ran downstairs with Xiao Xiao.
It was a walk-behind tractor with a small half cart of wicker, and it looked like it was here to test it. Otherwise, why can't you decorate more.
The person who came was the one who saw Mu Dong and Xiao Xiao getting into the Audi car yesterday. Today, I brought 1,100 pounds of white strips to test it.
As a result, I didn't expect to enter the courtyard and see an acquaintance, Old Man Su.
Old man Su used to go to the market to sell wicker, and he knew many people, and the two greeted each other warmly. When someone came, he asked why you were here, and Old Man Su said that he would work here and collect wicker.
It's easy to have acquaintances, inspect the goods, weigh them, receive money, and get a mobile phone.
The person who came was very happy, but I didn't expect to get the phone. Although it looks like a low-end machine, it is worth three or four hundred!
In fact, the wholesale price from Mudong is 130 yuan per unit.
The visitor left happily, saying that there were still some at home and that they would be delivered in the afternoon.
Mu Dong shouted: "If you want to send it as soon as possible, there will be 50 mobile phones, and you won't send it after you finish it." β
The man had just left, and then several cars came, and it turned out that several people had made an appointment to come together, and the others were waiting at the intersection for this person to try. Now that I know that there is no problem, and there are acquaintances here, I am naturally relieved.
In one morning, 3,700 pounds of white strips and 2,200 pounds of steamed strips were collected. Boss Mu sent out three rice cookers and four mobile phones.
After lunch, Mu Dong asked Su Lao about the dates and locations of some markets, and said that he was going to distribute leaflets. Old man Su laughed,
"What kind of leaflets to send, I make a few phone calls, and I know it all, with the money, I'm afraid that I won't be able to buy something?"
Mu Dong's heart twitched, didn't I know your great god the day before yesterday. I wondered how to leave Old Man Su behind and don't let his son get him back.
In the end, Mu Dong still asked Old Man Su to list the information of the fairs in various places, and asked Xie Donglin to take two clever workers to rush to the market to distribute leaflets, 20,000 copies, spend money to print, and use them out. If you keep it, it's too hard to wipe your buttocks.
It just so happened that there was less loading in the past few days, and Xie Donglin was not busy, so it was good to catch up with the market every day, so a few people rode on the electric car and went happily.
In the afternoon, I received 12,000 pounds of white strips and 4,000 pounds of steamed noodles. Boss Mu sent 10 rice cookers and 11 mobile phones.
Since then, the crazy acquisition has begun to be staged.
On February 7, 30,000 kilograms of white strips and 10,000 kilograms of steamed noodles;
On February 8, 45,000 kilograms of white strips and 15,000 kilograms of steamed noodles;
As a result, on the morning of February 8, the mobile phones were delivered, and Mu Dong urgently went to the county seat to buy another 100 mobile phones and 200 rice cookers, and the better it was with the supplier, if he asked for it again, he called to ask for the goods, and the supplier was responsible for delivery. Merchants are naturally willing, and in the county market, such large customers are rare.
On February 9, Mu Dong sent Xiao Xiao back to his home for the Lantern Festival. After returning from Xiao Xiao's house, Mu Dong made some arrangements.
Mu Daodao is responsible for the business of the Mu family yard, and the daily money is deposited in the town's Agricultural Bank in time.
Mu Xiaoxia was transferred to the primary school and was responsible for the acquisition of wicker, payment and recording of the acquisition accounts.
In the evening, Mu Dong took a look at the sales data of the yard in recent days, and the sales in recent days have been rising steadily, almost 40,000 yuan per day.
On the Lantern Festival that night, the Mu family had a big dinner in the yard, and everyone spent a Lantern Festival together.
Early the next morning, Mu Dong came to the school and looked around.
The road in front of the door has been bulldozed and compacted, and one section has been paved with cinders.
The yard has been renovated. The original communication room has been demolished, and now the tall battlements have been erected, the fence has been rebuilt, and the others are being carried out.
The front side of the exterior wall of the small building has been completely painted, and if you look at it from the front, it is already a freshly painted building.
All the rooms in the corridor have been cleared, and the decoration of the office and dormitory is nearing completion.
The other rooms and corridors on the first floor have already begun to be painted, and it is estimated that it will be completed in three or four days.
The curtains have already been installed.
The room was also cleaned up, and Mu Huafeng's wife was busy in the room.
Mu Dong is very satisfied with the progress, at this rate, in another week or so, the yard will be completed.
Mu Dong drove away with confidence and went to Xiao Xiao's house. Today he was going to send Xiao Xiao back to Spring City.
On the highway, Xiao Xiao still experienced a while, and this time his performance was good, much stronger than before. Recently, Xiao Xiao has been practicing in the yard or the small playground of the school whenever he has time, reversing and parking on the side, and he has become very proficient. It's a lot more relaxed to drive on the road.
When Xiao Xiao was driving, Mu Dong happened to receive a call from Xiao Liu, the sales representative of Lavida.
Xiao Liu made two phone calls after Mu Dong saw the car last time, mainly to say hello, contact and contact, and also sent a special text message for greetings during the Lantern Festival.
I called today, mainly to say that there is a batch of existing cars recently, and you can pick up the car without increasing the price, and there are some gifts, and I asked Mu Dong if he wanted to go and see it.
Mu Dong asked Xiao Xiao, and then promised to take a look on the phone.
Xiao Liu on the other end of the phone breathed a sigh of relief. He recalled the scene of the first meeting many times, and it is estimated that the increase in price and the pick-up of the car stimulated the customer. Now it seems that this is indeed the case. As soon as it was said that there was a current car, the customer agreed to come and see it, and it is estimated that there is a door.
The two got off the highway and didn't go home, and went directly to the Volkswagen Lavida 4S store.
Xiao Liu was waiting at the door, and when he saw Mu Dong's Audi coming over, he trotted to open the door, shouting in his mouth.
Looking at Xiao Liu's cautious and cautious appearance, Mu Dong thought of the situation when he was doing business before, how similar it was to this scene. The heart is warm, young people, it's not easy, if it's about the same, this time it's decided.
How did Xiao Liu know that a little happiness had come. He took Mu Dong and Xiao Xiao to see the car, and introduced the situation while walking: "Brother Mu, Sister Li, this event is a direct drop of 3,000 yuan plus a 3,000 yuan gift package." The pack includes a wrap, chassis armor, all-over mats, and a cleaning kit. If you're interested, you can pick up your car now......"
Mu Dong smiled and said: "Brother, I used to be in business, I know all these things, and this gift package is not even a thousand yuan." Is there a policy that is more affordable, if there is, buy it today. β
Xiao Liu didn't dare to take it lightly, similar words, every day the customer said, there are few people who really pay the money.
"Brother Mu, I still have a small right of one thousand in my hand, if you really buy it, I will release it. β
Mu Dong: "That's it, you go and ask your leader, and fight for it again, I mean 140,000, I also want the gift package, if it's okay, pay the money immediately." β
Xiao Liu blinked, didn't speak again, thinking in his heart, this knife was too hard and too accurate. That's pretty much the company's profit and loss. Pretending to think for a while, he said, "Brother Mu, then you sit down, I'll ask." β
Mu Dong decided to pick up the car today because he felt the anxiety of Xiao Liu and the 4S shop behind him. Usually at this time of year, business is very quiet. But the bank doesn't care whether you are in the off-season or the peak season, the interest that should be paid and the repayment when due are not less at all. You must know that most of the 4S stores are supported by bank loans.
So Mu Dong wanted to try to cut a knife, ask for a price all over the sky, and sit on the ground to pay back.
After a while, Xiao Liu came back and shook his head again and again: "Brother Mu, you can lower it a little more, but the price you gave is really not good, the leader said, 140,000 3, plus the gift package." β
Mudong decided to burn two more fires.
