Chapter 1 Preparations for the Crossing (1)
The sun is blazing.
Chen Baisheng was distraught and smoked a stuffy cigarette in his grain and oil store.
Three months ago, he worked hard to buy this shop and open this grain and oil store. I thought that this newly developed community had more than 1,000 households, and even if the business was bleak, it would not be impossible to eat a mouthful. However, the result of the facts made him white-headed. Yes, there are indeed more than 1,000 houses in this community, but there are only one or two hundred households that really live in, and the other heads of households are purely speculating for the brilliant prospects of real estate in Jiangnan City. Let's ask, in the face of such a situation, can Chen Baisheng not be upset?
"Is the boss there?" I don't know how many cigarette butts were extinguished, and just as Chen Baisheng was about to take a sip of tea to moisten his throat, which was a little dry due to smoking too much, the glass door of the grain and oil store was pushed open. A tall young man with a leather briefcase walked in.
"If you want to buy anything, you can see the price on it. Hearing this, Chen Baisheng raised his head slightly, and replied with some interest.
If it was three months ago, no, even if it was a month ago, when a customer came to the door, he was still optimistic about the future prospects of the grain and oil store, and he would definitely immediately come forward to greet him. However, now, hehe, since he learned about the occupancy information of the residents in this community, and knew that the grain and oil store no longer had any hope, where did he still have that motivation? No one is willing to buy his store now, otherwise, even if he loses 30,000 or 50,000 yuan, he will definitely transfer it without frowning.
"Hey, boss, your rice is six cents and eight pounds?" For his coldness, the person who came didn't seem to care. I walked around at random in the grain and oil store. After a while, he stopped in front of a pile of randomly placed rice. Looking at the unit price list placed in front of the rice, he asked with a surprised expression.
"Well, it's cheap, how much do you want?" Chen Baisheng shook his head with a wry smile when he heard this, and picked up the teacup again. As for greeting him, hehe, he didn't think that a guy who knew at a glance that he was a family man could bring him much business.
"It's really cheap, I've gone to more than 20 grain and oil stores, and it's the cheapest of yours. Hearing this, the visitor nodded noncommittally and responded.
"Poof, I said brother, for dozens of catties of grain, you run more than 20 grain and oil stores? He put down his teacup, gestured, and asked with a happy face.
No wonder he is so happy, you must know that people in the city nowadays generally buy more than ten or twenty catties of food, and at most fifty catties are remarkable. Even if you save three or five cents per catty, that's only how much? As for running through most of Jiangnan City?
"It's a good deal, I'm not a fool, can I do something that isn't worth it?" the visitor nodded slightly unhappily and replied affirmatively.
"Oh, how much do you want to buy?" Chen Baisheng heard this, and his heart moved slightly. He finally put down his teacup and walked out from behind the counter.
"How much I buy, it depends on the unit price, if the unit price is low, I will buy more, and if the unit price is high, I will buy less. The visitor nodded noncommittally.
"Brother, you didn't lie to your brother, how much do you want to buy, if you really buy more, I can give you a cheaper. When Chen Baisheng heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. He assured with an excited face.
At this moment, he was extremely disappointed with the business of the grain and oil store, and he already had the idea of transferring the store. At one point, he even called a few people who had the idea of buying his store to come on a field trip. However, in the end, his store was not able to be transferred, and the reason for this was precisely because there was too much food backlog in his store. No one else wants to take this mess at all.
Yes, when he heard the other party say that he wanted to buy a lot of food, could he not be excited?
You know, at this time, vacating the store as soon as possible can minimize his losses.
"Really, how much cheaper?" the visitor's eyes suddenly lit up.
"This, that, hehe, brother, I just said it casually. It's already very cheap, and I don't have much profit at all except for miscellaneous expenses. At this moment, Chen Baisheng finally came back to his senses, too, even if a family man buys more, how much can he buy? It is only two or three hundred catties in the sky, compared to the dozens of tons of inventory in his store, what role can it play. He smiled a little unnaturally, and retracted his promise.
"Oh, that's it, forget it, bring me five tons first. Hearing this, the visitor shook his head in disappointment, and then demanded.
"Brother, you, how much do you say?" Chen Baisheng heard this, the expression on his face froze for a moment, and he seemed to confirm again in disbelief.
"Five tons, don't you have one here?" replied the visitor, with some surprise.
"Yes, yes, brother, no, big brother, you smoke a cigarette first. Hearing the affirmative answer from the visitor, Chen Baisheng's blood pressure soared instantly. Even when I spoke, I began to tremble a little.
No wonder he's so excited. Five tons, and listening to the other party's tone, it seems that five tons is an appetizer at all. This kind of cargo volume is definitely the number of ways to purchase in large factory canteens. If he can hug this thick thigh, he is still worried that there are no residents in the community, and the grain and oil business will not be able to do it?
"Thanks, I don't smoke. Zhang Yi looked at the grain and oil store owner who suddenly changed his attitude and nodded his head, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart. It was at this moment that he understood the true meaning of the saying that being rich is an uncle. At the same time, I also have great expectations for the so-called space-time merchant system that exists in my mind.
Yes, he is not the kind of large-scale canteen purchaser that Chen Baisheng thinks, in fact, if it weren't for the so-called space-time merchant system that appeared in his mind for no reason, he would still be working hard in the dark black-hearted small processing factory at this time.
"Oh, it's okay, it's okay, that, big brother, when are you going to ask for the goods, now?" Chen Baisheng nodded again and again, and the next moment, he didn't hesitate to put out the cigarette that was still half left in his hand on the ground.
"I'll give you an address later, well, it must be delivered before half past six in the evening, can it be done?" Zhang Yi nodded and asked.
"No problem, it doesn't matter if it's delivered now. Me, I have a pickup van that can deliver at any time. Without any hesitation at all, Chen Baisheng patted his chest and responded. Then, in order to make the other party believe his words, he also specially explained for this.
No wonder Chen Baisheng is so concerned, you must know that at this moment, his grain and oil store has reached the edge of life and death, and now, suddenly there is such a big financier who is enough to bring his grain and oil store back to life appears in front of him, let me ask, can he not care?
Besides, anyway, there is no business in his store at this time, and he is idle, so it is better to take this opportunity to recognize the way as soon as possible. Lay a foundation for future cooperation.
"Well, that's for the best. It's sixteen thousand eight hundred dollars, you please. When Zhang Yi heard this, how could he be dissatisfied. The next moment, he boldly took out a stack of red bills from his briefcase.
"You, do you pay for the goods in such a timely manner?" Chen Baisheng looked at the stack of red banknotes in front of him, and his eyes instantly widened.
