Chapter 9 Business Classics

In the blink of an eye, the mist cleared, and the morning light shone in through the skylight, and the sky was bright.

Chen Jin quietly dragged out the sorted water basin and placed it along the edge of the stall.

At about 5:40, a faltering grandmother walked towards the stall with a basket.

The old grandmother walked very slowly, and Chen Jin, who was watching, couldn't wait to help her.

"Kid, how did you sell this bastard (herring)?"

The old grandmother frowned after watching it for a long time, and finally pointed to the herring and began to ask the price.

"Uh......" Chen Jin was a little stunned, he really didn't know the price.

turned around and pushed Zhu Chengming, good guy, sleeping like a dead dog.

"I don't know what kind of business the price is!" the old woman turned around and walked away with the basket on her shoulder.

"Wait, ten pieces!" Chen Jin said as he crossed his two index fingers and looked nervously at his grandmother.

The old grandmother didn't think about it and said, "Ten yuan? It's so expensive, it's only eight yuan and five yuan in front, and I'll buy you eight yuan!"

"You wait!" Chen Jin pushed Zhu Chengming again, but who knew that this guy turned over and fell asleep.

"Hey, are you selling it or not, I'm leaving!" the old woman was obviously anxious.

"Sell, sell, sell...... Eight yuan, sell it, I hope grandma will take care of the business more in the future!"

The hairy hands and feet took the net to catch the fish, and the grandmother chose the largest one, hung the scale hook, and dialed the scale!

"Three catties and eight taels, four catties and thirty-two yuan, go to two taels and six yuan, thirty yuan and four cents!"

Packed into bags and placed on the cement table, Chen Jin waited for the grandmother to pay.

The old lady took out a hand-held scale from her bag and hooked her pockets with trembling hands.

"Grandma, don't worry, we don't lack catties or two here, I'll help you!"

Seeing the old lady trembling, Chen Jin stretched out his hand and wanted to help!

"Don't move, don't move! My old lady will do it herself, you businessmen are all!"

The old lady stepped back again and again, retreating four or five paces away, and looked at the hand-held scale carefully.

"Well, it's okay to count you three pounds and eight taels!" the old lady quickly put on the hand-held scale and took out the money.

"Thirty dollars!" Three ten-dollar bills flew from the old lady's hand to the cement platform, and the old man picked up his things and left.

"Hey, grandma, I have change to find......" Chen Jin shouted, and the old lady walked like the wind and disappeared around the corner!

Chen Jin picked up the thirty yuan on the cement platform, and when he turned around and was about to push Zhu Chengming, he found that he was looking at him with a smile.

"Are you pretending to be asleep?" Chen Jin found out that he had been tricked.

"Hmm...... I woke up at the first call. Feeling out the cigarette, Zhu Chengming gave Chen Jin one.

"This old lady will return two yuan to her when she comes tomorrow, and the herring fish will be seven yuan and five!" Zhu Chengming said slowly, lighting a cigarette.

"Huh, is it the first time she bought it?" asked Chen Jin strangely.

Zhu Chengming sighed and taught Chen Jin a lesson from beginning to end.

It turned out that Zhu Chengming woke up when Chen Jin just shouted for the first time, but he wanted to see if Chen Jin had the ability to adapt.

When Chen Jin said ten yuan a catty, Zhu Chengming originally wanted to stop it, but he wanted to see how it would develop in the future.

This old lady knew that it was the kind of person who was more calculating, and she just exercised Chen Jin.

Zhu Chengming was actually worried when weighing fish, because customers of this age would definitely bring a portable scale.

When the old lady said that she was barely able to scale and pay quickly, Zhu Chengming found a problem.

Analyzing this, Zhu Chengming picked up the scale just now: "You tell me where your three catties and eight taels are." ”

Chen Jin took a step forward and pointed to one of the points: "This is it!"

Zhu Chengming smiled and counted two points back: "See this five?

One sentence made Chen Jin's heart fall to the bottom.

"This ...... It's over, you don't have to give two pieces tomorrow, you still have to post it upside down!" Chen Jin looked depressed.

"Forget it, when you buy a lesson, that's what I mean, to put it simply, you sell something wrong and want to post it upside down, but others find the mistake and obviously don't remind you, what do you think?

In addition, I have been in business for so many years, and I still believe in my own vision, and today's fish is not under four catties at all.

I just said that I would make up two dollars for the old lady, but I actually reminded you along this topic, don't do stupid things next time!"

"Uh...... Uncle Zhu, are you talking about returning the money?" Chen Jin was a little embarrassed, after all, just a pound of fish was equivalent to giving it to someone for nothing.

"Well, you'll know after a long time!" Zhu Chengming said with a smile.

In the morning, there was a lot of people in the market, many of whom were Zhu Chengming's old customers, and there were many people who teased Chen Jin.

Chen Jin has a good temper, and he is not a teenager, he can hear good and bad words, and he fights with customers.

By noon, the buckets and basins were almost sold, and only three silver carp remained.

"Let's go, today you are really my lucky general, it is sold out before eleven o'clock, and the three fish drink at noon!"

Every time he sold a pot of goods before, Chen Jin diligently poured out the water in the basin and stacked it next to him, and at this time, there was nothing left to close the stall.

Putting three fish in a net pocket and putting them in the trunk of a motorcycle, Chen Jin suddenly remembered whether he still had to buy a car.

When he said what he was worried about, Zhu Chengming, who laughed all the way, was also silent.

After thinking about it for a long time at the door of the house, Zhu Chengming said: "If you are thirty or fifty catties a day, I can bring it for you, and charge you five cents per catty. But hundreds of pounds is not cost-effective. ”

Zhu Chengming is very single, and when he encounters the problem of money, he still makes it clear that although five cents per catty is very expensive, but if you think about it from another perspective, who would like to help you go to the dock at two o'clock in the middle of the night to get a hundred and ten catties of things, and my uncle can't do it, let alone a neighbor?

If Chen Jin was a teenager, he would definitely not be able to figure this out!

But in his thirties, he is very grateful, this is probably the advantage of age, mature!

stopped Zhu Chengming's words, the two were in a dilemma again, Zhu Chengming took out his cigarette, and Chen Jin hurriedly took out his own: "Uncle Zhu, smoke me!"

Lighting the cigarette, Zhu Chengming took a deep breath: "This way, there is a tricycle in the market that specializes in helping people transport goods, I'll go to someone and ask if I can help you transport it at two o'clock every day."

Of course, the freight is not too cheap, it is estimated to cost about 20 yuan a day, and no one will do it if the money is less!"

"Okay, Uncle Zhu, you have the final say!" Chen Jin agreed.

Now there is no such high-tech thing as an electric mountain wheel on the market, it is all human, and the car is not expensive, about 800.

But the key is that Chen Jin takes up too much money to buy one, and he will definitely have to buy a three-wheeled motorcycle or truck when he takes goods from Steep Lake in the future.

Now buying a rickshaw can only be said to be thankless, and it is better to give cash every day.

I don't know if I can find someone willing to help pull the goods at two o'clock in the evening, after all, they still have to work during the day.

In the afternoon, Chen Jin was dragged by Zhu Chengming to the market, where a middle-aged woman in her forties was waiting for them.
