Chapter 165: Caring for Food and Vegetables
After Li Dacheng taught Tang Yin's animation painting skills, he broke free from the gentleness of the quilt, put on his clothes, and was ready to go out to wash his face, but as soon as he walked out of the bedroom, his mobile phone rang again.
"Ding!"
Li Dacheng picked up his mobile phone and saw that it was a message from Zheng He, he was nervous, and quickly clicked to enter, and after seeing the content, the whole person became excited.
"God, Zaihe and the fleet have safely crossed the sea and landed in Guli, according to the report of the spies sent before, Guli has suffered a flood this year, the grain has been greatly reduced, and the price of rice has risen several times, if God can give food, it will definitely be able to sell it at a good price in Guli. ”
It is worthy of being a person who does great things, and his work efficiency is high, and it has only been a few days since the naval battle, and he has found out the situation in Guli so quickly.
"There is no problem with food, as much as you want. Li Dacheng hurriedly sent a message to Zheng He, this is the first step of his maritime global trade, this first step must be taken well, and Zheng He's reputation will be beaten, so that everywhere he goes, there is no need for Zheng He to send someone to investigate, and others will take the initiative to ask for a transaction less.
"My God, I have seen the ministers sent by the king of Guli that if there is no problem with food, then when I negotiate trade with the other party, I will add grain to it and sell it to them along with ceramics and silk. Soon, Zheng He sent back a message.
"Ask them how much they need, and I will give you as much as they need. ”
"Good. ”
Taking advantage of Zheng He's meeting with the minister of Guli State, Li Dacheng immediately rushed into the bathroom, and after a simple wash of his face, he changed his clothes and drove away from home.
When chatting a few days ago, Li Dacheng knew that Zheng He would not be able to stay in Guli Kingdom for a few days. When the fleet reached Guri, trade was actually secondary, and it was the most important thing to bring water and food for the rest of the voyage. So Li Dacheng wanted to hurry up and prepare food, the business object this time. But a country must need food.
Li Dacheng drove to the local grain market, which is one of the country's key finished grain wholesale markets, with an annual trading volume of one million tons. The turnover is more than billions, and it will never be wrong to buy grain here, and there is no need to worry about inventory at all.
Li Dacheng has been here many times when he was a courier, but this is the first time to buy food. Usually, rice is bought for five or ten yuan, and you can buy it at the grain store near your residence, so you don't have to run to the wholesale market far from here, and the few cents left are not enough for the round-trip fare.
Entering the market, a smell of grain came to his face, Li Dacheng walked around it and familiarized himself with the situation, there are many shops here, and things are also mixed. The same thing is good and bad, although Li Dacheng doesn't buy food for himself, but he can't ruin his reputation and Zheng He's reputation, right?
"What's the price of rice?" asked Li Dacheng, pointing to one of the shops and asking the owner of the shop after pretending to look at it.
Before this, Li Dacheng had stood aside and watched for a while, not only saw several business transactions with his own eyes, but also eavesdropped on a lot of knowledge about rice, and those who came here to wholesale rice were experts, and they knew the quality of rice at a glance, which also saved Li Dacheng a lot of time for selection.
"Two pieces three. ”
Li Dacheng nodded secretly. The boss is very real, he listened to it for a while before, and it was indeed this price, and he didn't see his face. Just shouted the price indiscriminately, like seeing people shouting the price, Li Dacheng had encountered it before, and he was very disgusted in his heart, and when he heard the boss say this, Li Dacheng's heart was much more comfortable.
"Let's start with ten tons. Li Dacheng thought for a while and said.
Li Dacheng really didn't expect it. I even have a day when I care about food and vegetables, and I feel that my whole life is different, facing the sea, and the spring flowers are blooming.
It is estimated that he has never met such a happy trader, the boss who has been busy, turned his head and glanced at Li Dacheng, although ten tons is not much, but after asking the price, he bought it directly, and he really hasn't met it.
"Okay, where can I send it?" asked the boss.
"Just send it to ......," Li Dacheng stopped halfway through his words, and suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have a place to store the grain.
The grain business is not as good as the cosmetics business, cosmetics buy hundreds of them, and they can be pulled home with a car, and the space occupied is not large, but the grain is different, usually 50 catties of rice is a bag, and 10 tons is 20,000 catties of rice, that is, 400 bags, even if his villa is piled up, it is estimated that he will not be able to put it down, what can I do? Is it difficult to pull it into the ravine, unload it on the ground, and after the people leave, then take it down and pass it to Zheng He? 400 bags of rice, this is also too conspicuous.
"To store rice, you need a warehouse, right?" asked Li Dacheng.
When the shopkeeper heard this, he laughed, "Brother, how fresh is what you said, if you don't put rice in the warehouse, can you put it outside?
Li Dacheng scratched his head with his hands embarrassedly, and when he heard the boss's words, he also felt that he had asked redundant questions. But this kind of trivial thing can't bother him. Where is this place? Wholesale grain market, there must be warehouses around that store grain for rent.
"Boss, I'm renting a warehouse in the Betfair Market, I don't know who to contact for this?" asked Li Dacheng. Global maritime trade has been opened, the grain business is only the first one, there will be more business to be done in the future, and a warehouse will definitely be needed for the storage and transit of goods, so the warehouse is very necessary.
Small cosmetics can be kept at home, but large goods such as grain must be used in the warehouse.
"Brother, brother, I have been in business for so many years, and you are the first one who buys and rents a warehouse now. You can go to the storage area, find the person in charge there, and you can rent the warehouse. I'll give you a mobile phone number, which belongs to the person in charge of the storage area, if you can't find it, you can call this number directly. The boss wrote a number on a piece of paper and handed it to Li Dacheng.
"Thank you, boss, leave me ten tons of rice, I'll be back later. Li Dacheng thanked him repeatedly, and after taking the note, he left the store in a hurry.
"Don't worry, don't say ten tons of rice, there are a hundred tons. ”
The wholesale market is divided into four areas, business trading area, warehousing and storage area, processing and packaging area and logistics and distribution area, providing convenient and fast one-stop service for grain wholesale.
After Li Dacheng inquired, he came to the warehousing and storage area, and soon found the person in charge here, and after explaining the intention, the person in charge immediately enthusiastically found a leaflet and handed it to Li Dacheng, with a picture of the warehouse, as well as the introduction of the warehouse, and then took Li Dacheng to the warehouse.
"Our warehousing and management area, mainly responsible for the storage and storage of grain and oil, grain wholesale, warehouses are indispensable, our storage capacity can reach 80,000 tons, in the country is also counted, and we not only provide warehouses for merchants who trade here, but also provide leasing business for the outside world, of course, if you are trading in our market, then you will have the right of first choice......"
The person in charge talked endlessly about the warehousing and management area for Li Dacheng along the way.
"We have many kinds of warehouses here, there are ordinary warehouses, which are suitable for storing grain in a short period of time, and cold storage, which are suitable for storing grain for a long time. ”
"A normal warehouse will do. Li Dacheng doesn't have any special needs for the warehouse, after all, the warehouse is just a transit station for him, and the role of hiding people's eyes and ears is much higher than the role of storage, so ordinary warehouses can fully meet his requirements.
Accompanied by the person in charge, Li Dacheng looked at several warehouses of different scales, and finally chose a medium-sized warehouse with a size of 2,000 square meters, with a monthly rent of 20,000 yuan, and Li Dacheng directly paid it for a year, that is, 240,000 yuan.
Li Dacheng from looking at the warehouse to signing the agreement, less than an hour before and after, the person in charge praised him again and again for his neatness, young and promising, and he will have a bright future in the future. This is called an artifact in hand, and I have it in the world.
Back in the business trading area, Li Dacheng found the store he had asked for before.
"Boss, the warehouse has been completed, please send ten tons of grain directly into the warehouse, my warehouse number is 2121. Li Dacheng said to the old shopkeeper.
"Okay, I'll notify the warehouse to deliver the goods to you, you call the money first, I'll open a note for you, then you can take it, just give it to the driver, here's my phone number......"
After swiping the card, Li Dacheng took the strip to the warehouse, the store owner's warehouse is estimated to be not far from here, not long after, I saw two trucks stop in front of the warehouse, the driver reported the name of the store, Li Dacheng handed the strip to the driver, the driver immediately drove the car into the warehouse, and then began to unload the grain.
The person in charge of Li Dachengji's warehouse management area said that this warehouse can store up to 100 tons of rice, and now it seems that this is indeed the case. Ten tons of rice have been unloaded and piled in front of Li Dacheng, like a small mountain, but the warehouse is still empty, and there is a large area, but Li Dacheng does not feel wasted, after all, rice is only one of the many trades, and there will be more materials to be stored in the future, so a large warehouse is also essential.
It's just that the surveillance camera in this warehouse is very annoying, if someone sees it on the surveillance screen, ten tons of grain suddenly disappear out of thin air, and he is at the scene, it will be troublesome.
Li Dacheng thought for a while, locked the door of the warehouse, and walked towards the storage area.
