Chapter 11 Preparations
(Thank you for facing the future 3 mortals after the immortal hero, the unyielding battle bones, and the reward of the red dust girl, today it has been 56 on the new book list, thank you for your support.) )
Although it is still difficult for a group of young people to make a career, it is still very simple to do something. Because young people don't have any worries, they do what they think of, and as for whether they succeed or not, that's another matter.
Selling pills, Zhou You didn't treat it as a career. Selling three-free drugs and driving a leather bag company, if you want to say that this is a career, Zhou You will laugh off his big teeth.
He just wants to make some money from this incident and make the life of his brothers better. As for how long this can be done, the key depends on the ideas of the brothers after making money.
Because Zhou You only wants to do it for a few months, after a few months, he will go to Yangcheng on time. At that time, whether there would be conflicts between the brothers because of money, whether they would close the door because they were investigated, he hadn't thought so far. Because the key to this matter is to see if the first shot can be fired, and only when it is fired can we talk about making money.
The three of them also put their hearts into it, went out for two days, and not only found the manufacturers of molding machines and crushers, but also found the sales points in Xiangcheng.
Zhou You took the time at noon, didn't care about eating, and took a bus to Jiangbei to see the goods. It's not that he doesn't want to ride a bicycle, these days he is like a seriously injured person, he doesn't dare to ride if he wants to, and he has to be sent by Zhou Minghong to school every day.
The pulverizer and molding machine on the market are similar, and the crusher should pay attention to the particle size of the powder, and the finer the better. However, this also involves a price issue, the more detailed it is, the higher the price.
After a comprehensive evaluation, I didn't buy the cheapest one, but bought the finest powder in a small machine, but it also cost less than three thousand yuan.
What pill molding machine to choose, Zhou You hesitated for a long time. The hand-cranked molding machine is cheap and convenient. A medium-sized one costs only two or three hundred yuan, and a small one even costs dozens of dollars. The weight also ranges from one kilogram to several tens of kilograms, and one person can carry it and go.
This hand-cranked molding machine is similar to the kind of rural dough sheeter, the only difference is that there are semi-circular pits on the drum, and when pressed on both sides, dozens of round pills will come out.
Therefore, if someone investigates, they can carry the machine around by themselves, which is flexible and convenient, and it is not easy to check.
But this kind of big disadvantage is that it doesn't have the function of drying, coating, the pill is made, and the packaging is a big problem.
There is also the kind of semi-automatic, which is very fast to make zuò, and comes with the function of drying and coating honey pills, that is, a layer of glutinous rice zuò crust on the outer bread of the pills, so that the pills do not stick together.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhou You still decided to buy a semi-automatic one, although this kind of power consumption is inconvenient to handle, but it is only 3,000 yuan, and he will make an extra batch first, as long as the medicine is sold, the cost will be earned.
The two pieces of equipment cost less than 6,000, the boss sent a kilogram of glutinous rice coating, and they spent another 50 yuan to rent a small truck to pull the two sets of equipment home, and Zhou You began to be embarrassed again. Originally, he wanted to buy a small machine and make it at home. But now these two machines are too conspicuous if they are placed in their own homes. What's more, in two months, the house will be sold, and it will still have to be moved then.
Liang Hao said: "The small is hidden in the wilderness, and the big is hidden in the city, I think it is more appropriate for us to rent a small warehouse on the outskirts of the city than to put it here." ”
Zhou You smiled and said, "You kid finally came up with a good idea, and this matter will be handed over to you." You should pay attention to one point, it is best not to rent a warehouse, because we need a small location, in fact, it is better to rent a store in a remote place, there is no store pù next to the kind of store that is often open, rent a warehouse, not only cheap, but also more convenient. ”
Within a day's time, the house was found. In fact, the conditions they ask for are not high, and this kind of house is everywhere in their suburbs. The house they are looking for is not far from the factory, no more than 500 meters away from the school.
This is a storefront located in the middle of two major roads connected by a small road, which was converted from the power distribution room of this community, which was originally a gas station, that is, to change gas. But now the state-owned enterprise is using its own natural gas pipeline to supply gas to the surrounding community, and the gas station is closed.
There are many shops on two main roads, sandwiched between them, with the railway in front and the community wall in the back. From the perspective of the tour, it is a natural garbage dump, but for them, it is the perfect place.
And at this time, there is no rule of three pay one, and there is no need to sign any long-term contracts. Press a month's rent, and then live for a month and pay a month's rent, and the rent is not expensive, this house is almost 20 square meters, only 200 yuan a month.
However, in terms of electricity, the electrician on the other side may want to make a little money, and he has to calculate it according to commercial electricity, and it costs seven cents and two cents for one kilowatt-hour of electricity. In fact, the industrial electricity consumption in this area is only one cent, and the residential electricity consumption is only more than two cents.
Pulling the two machines over, they were about to start preparing for the purchase. Due to the large amount of goods bought, it is not suitable to buy in a Chinese medicine store, and no store will prepare a few kilograms or dozens of kilograms of a variety at once. However, the local Chinese herbal medicine market is also very small, and the varieties are not complete. And there is also the problem that buying too much locally can also cause suspicion.
Therefore, Zhou You checked in the school library and decided to take a few brothers to Yuzhou County in Central Plains Province to buy medicinal materials. It is not only one of the four major Chinese herbal medicine trading centers in the country, but also the closest to them.
I took a day off from the teacher, and on Friday night, Zhou You and Hou Zhijie, Zhou Minghong, and Liang Hao got on the train to the north. In order not to delay on the road, Zhou You deliberately chose the train at 11 o'clock in the evening.
They set off at eleven o'clock in the evening and arrived at Xu Chang City near Yuzhou at exactly five o'clock in the morning. A few people had dinner, it was dawn, and then they took a car to Yuzhou, at seven or eight o'clock, when the market was almost open.
After setting the time, the few of them began to sleep in the afternoon, ready to play on the train until dawn. It was the first time for them to go far away, and it was also the first time to do serious things, and they were all very excited. As a result, when Zhou You got out of the evening self-study, they had already waited at the school gate, and none of them fell asleep.
They don't care about traveling around, at their current age, don't say they don't sleep for one night, they don't sleep for three days, and they can stay up.
Seeing Zhou You come out, Zhou Minghong immediately took out a stack of oil cakes and said with a smile: "Fourth, this is what my mother prepared for us to eat on the road, you eat a piece, it is very fragrant!" ”
As soon as he teased it, Liang Hao also came out with a bag of hard-boiled eggs, but Hou Zhijie didn't take out these things, but took out fifty yuan and said: "My dad said that the poor family is rich, although the expenses along the way are public funds, but he still gave me fifty yuan for pocket money." I'll buy some fruit and bring it with me in a moment. ”
Zhou You said angrily: "Anyway, if you want to bring you, bring it, don't think I'll help you get it." Don't you want to think about it, just a few hours on the train, do you need to prepare so many things? ”
The three of them froze for a moment, looked at the things in their hands, and wanted to be reluctant to throw them away, but they felt that it was a burden to bring them.
I got on the train all the way to the train station, and it was not yet ten o'clock when I arrived at the train station. Zhou You bought two decks of playing cards at a nearby store, and a few people entered the waiting hall in good spirits.
At this time, it was not the peak season, and there were not many passengers on the train, as soon as a few of them got on the train, they were regarded as thieves or bad actors, and many sleepy passengers saw them and immediately did not dare to sleep, and a few sat alone, and sat together.
This time it was exactly what they wanted, and the four of them happened to sit in a position of four people, took out the playing cards and began to play with the tractor. Although Hou Zhijie kept shouting all night, no one in a single carriage came out to say about them, and they were allowed to play until they got off the train.
After breakfast, they took a car and traveled around a few of them before eight o'clock to come to the Yuzhou Chinese herbal medicine market.
This market is known as one of the four major pharmaceutical capitals, but they don't feel that this market is very big, and even have a feeling that it is not worthy of the name. But after coming in, I found that the varieties of medicinal materials here are indeed very complete, not to mention the ordinary varieties they bought, even many rare varieties, there are all kinds here.
In the morning, they looked at the goods in various stores and inquired, which not only made them familiar with the differences between the ten Chinese medicines they were going to buy, but also knew their pharmacology and the differences in origin.
It wasn't until noon that they synthesized the results of the morning inspection and decided on the merchant who purchased.
At this time, the bank transfer could not be instant, and they had to go to the counter, so they first determined the amount of goods to be bought, and ran to the bank to withdraw 10,000 yuan.
After that, Zhou You made a stop at the station at the door, and instructed the three of them: "You each go to those shops, and let them deliver the goods according to the standard of our morning inspection, and I will wait here to pay." Remember to ask them to prepare that kind of big cloth bag for each house. ”
Several people excitedly took the small note in their hands and began to place orders one by one. Although the amount of goods they ask for is not large, it is not small. What's more, they are also a store business, no matter how big the boss is, he will not give up such a cash business, so after a while, some merchants will deliver the goods.
Traveling around here to inspect and pay for goods, every qiē is like an old Jianghu, only he knows that he is indiscriminate, and he can't tell what is good or bad.
Most of the goods were packed and delivered, but when the last one was delivered, Hou Zhijie pulled him aside and whispered: "The schisandra sent by this family doesn't seem to be the northern schisandra we want, I see that they didn't weigh it from the big bag I chose, but took it out of it." ”
Zhou You frowned and asked, "Then can you tell the difference?" Did you ask him what was going on? ”
"He said it was Schisandra chinensis, but I looked a little smaller."
Zhou You nodded, "I see." ”
