Chapter 056: Talk of Experience
Kim walked away in a car in front of everyone's eyes.
Looking at the black car that gradually disappeared from sight, Grandpa Chen couldn't help but say, "This person is Kim Yong Kim who wrote Guo Jing and Huang Rong?" Sure enough, it's different from us flat-headed people. When people move, they have that dignity! Chen Yuan, you also write books. If only one day you could be like others, grandpa would be blind even if he died......"
"Grandpa, look at what you said." Chen Yuan said with a smile, "What can't die, how unlucky?" ”
Today is the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, and it is not a few days before the Chinese New Year.
After sending Kim away, Chen Yuan sent Li Bing to the station. Huang Bo drove from Kyoto, and this time he went directly back to his hometown Qingdao, so he couldn't take Li Bing back to Beijing. Ye Yun said that there was still something to do, and he still stayed here.
After sending Li Bing away, Chen Qingshui sent Su Muying back to his home in Guanzhuang Village, and then drove Chen Yuan back to Chenjia Village.
The Chen family's timber business is getting bigger and bigger. Twenty acres of site space, almost full of logs. By this time, there were fewer people pulling goods. These hoarded logs can only be sold after the spring of next year.
In just one month, the number of people harvesting trees has exploded. Not only Chenjia Village, but also several nearby villages, and even further afield, there are people who have taken a fancy to this line.
Everyone finally knew that the trees on the earth, on the side of the road, and in the ditch could be sold for money! This makes those rural people who have worked for a year, or planted land for a year, and have little income, are all overjoyed!
A few people scraped together money to buy a chainsaw and borrow a car. Whether it's a three-wheeled farm vehicle or a farm tractor, as long as it can pull logs! If you cut down your house today, you will cut down his house tomorrow, and then you will buy other people's trees to earn some labor money. In this way, the year has also been better.
Chen Qingjiang and Chen Qingshui discussed that they would close their doors on the 25th day of the lunar month.
In more than half a year, the two brothers made a lot of money and didn't worry about spending it at all. Chen Yuan's novel "The Sealed Demon" is selling well, and the speed of making money is faster than that of the two brothers, not to mention!
After a year of hard work, at the end of the year, everyone discussed that it was time to rest.
But the reality is not so ideal.
On the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, Chen Qingjiang conveyed the news of tomorrow's closure to every customer who came to deliver the goods. But the next morning, just after dawn, someone came here in a tractor.
Chen Qingjiang and his wife, who were still asleep, were awakened by a sudden noise. Chen Qingjiang scolded secretly in his heart, they are all on vacation, and they don't let people rest well! After a while, the two put on their clothes. Chen Qingjiang opened the door.
The man in the green coat smirked at Chen Qingjiang and said, "Just got up? ”
Chen Qingjiang glanced at this person, and he didn't know him at all. If it's a familiar customer, it's okay, and suddenly an unknown person pops up to disturb people's dreams. Chen Qingjiang secretly felt angry in his heart, and said, "Don't accept it, pull it back!" ”
"Huh? Why didn't you accept it all of a sudden? The man was anxious, "Didn't you collect it yesterday?" ”
Chen Qingjiang smiled and said, "On the last day of the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, I won't accept it from today." ”
"That's not going to work!" The man blushed and said urgently, "You must take it!" ”
"You're trying to force a sale?" The anger in Chen Qingjiang's chest suddenly rose, his eyes widened, and he said angrily: "You don't inquire, who am I, Chen Qingjiang, who dare to run to my door and play tricks!" ”
For Chen Qingjiang's temper, everyone in Chenjia Village knows it. He has always fought when he disagreed, and there were too many fights to count. The point is that you don't want to die in a fight. As soon as that crazy energy comes up, no one can stop it!
When the man in the green coat saw it, he was also afraid, and his legs were trembling. Seeing that Chen Qingjiang was about to make a move, the man didn't say a word, fluttered, knelt on the ground, and said with a crying voice: "I didn't mean that!" The family really has no money for the New Year. If you're done, take the wood! ”
Chen Qingjiang was stunned for a moment, he had never encountered such a situation, and for a while, he was at a loss.
At this time, Chen Yuan, who heard the movement, rushed over. He hurriedly helped the person up and said, "Don't worry, this wood will be collected!" You drive the tractor down first, the electronic scale hasn't been turned on yet. Wait for the pound to be opened, and you will come up again! ”
"You don't lie to me?" The man wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and asked suspiciously.
"What are you lying to you for?" Chen Yuan smiled, "How can there be a reason to open a store to attract customers." You'd better get the tractor down first! ”
The man in the green coat drove the tractor down, and then entered the house with Chen Qingjiang and his son. After the electronic scale was opened, the man in the green coat drove the tractor to the weigh, and when he had written down the number, he drove the car to unload the goods.
Chen Qingjiang sighed and said to Chen Yuan: "I originally wanted to take a few days off and have a good New Year, but who knew that this early morning would not make people peaceful!" ”
"Dad, that's a good thing!" Chen Yuan comforted, "People are rushing to send money, we don't have a reason to drive people away, right?" ”
"That being said, we're not short of money!" Chen Qingjiang said with a frown.
"Dad, let's do it, I'm fine anyway, why don't I help you collect the goods?" Chen Yuan proposed.
Chen Qingjiang shook his head and said, "Your time is more precious than ours, and it's nothing ...... if we are busy."
"That's it!" Chen Yuan said with a smile, "I'll give myself a vacation!" ”
Chen Qingjiang saw that Chen Yuan insisted on receiving the goods for them, so he no longer refused. He explained the general situation of the current receipt, and the rest was up to Chen Yuan to grasp it himself!
Receiving goods is a technical job. Now this industry has just emerged, the profits are thick, and the price is high and the price is low. In the future, the competition will be fierce, the profit will become thinner, and the price problem is a key, and the difference between 10 and 20 yuan will directly determine whether the goods received can make money!
Chen Yuan is naturally no stranger to the know-how. After the man in the green coat finished unloading the goods, Chen Yuan went over to inspect it. He looked carefully at the size, size, and whether there was a waterline, whether it was explicit, whether it was big head and small eyes, etc.
After the pound, Chen Yuan directly gave the price of 280. After settling the accounts, the man in the green coat left happily with more than 400 yuan.
Chen Qingjiang shook his head and said, "Is this price low?" The goods we receive are generally around 350, the lowest is 320, and the highest can reach 380! ”
Chen Yuan dragged his father to the field outside, and he pointed out the logs unloaded by the man in the green coat to his father, and said: "I have heard that the quality of logs is not only based on thickness, but also on many other problems. For example, this one, the above thing is called the waterline. In the past, when we were shipping, those knowledgeable customers would pick out the logs with waterlines. If you don't know how to do it, you can load it directly into the car. If in the future we go to the rotary cutting machine, we will process it ourselves, and rotate poplar wood skin. You'll know that this kind of log can't produce good things! ”
"And this," Chen Yuan said, pointing to a log with a huge difference in thickness between the top and bottom, "There are a lot of logs with big heads and small eyes, and it is difficult to round it when you turn the skin." Even if you find a round, you have to throw away a lot of leftovers. The price of this kind of log must be low! ”
"And this ......"
Chen Yuan's words made Chen Qingjiang gain knowledge! When he went to other places before, he didn't gain so much experience. Originally, he thought that as long as the log was thick enough and there were no big bends, he didn't expect that there would be so many twists and turns in it.
Chen Yuan said a lot, and told Chen Qingjiang about the experiences in his memory.
Chen Qingjiang has gained greatly. Originally, he also wanted Chen Yuan to receive the goods at home, so he and Chen's mother could go to the market and buy some New Year's goods. Now I don't have that kind of mind. He wanted to see how his precious son received the goods!
After breakfast, there are customers who come to deliver the goods intermittently. Although Chen Qingjiang had already said hello yesterday, some familiar customers always thought that they had a bit of face and could sell them no matter what. Sure enough, they sold, but they were very dissatisfied with the price at which they sold.
Chen Yuan is willing to communicate more with his father, but he has nothing to talk about with these customers.
According to the quality of the logs received, Chen Yuan gave the prices one by one, and then calculated the accounts and gave the money. The customer shouted and was dissatisfied, and Chen Qingjiang played a round on the side. That's how you can barely get through it.
As soon as the people left, Chen Qingjiang couldn't help but say: "The price you give is low, you have to tell people the reason, right?" ”
Chen Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "With so many customers, if each one has to be explained, how much time will it take?" Dad, this kind of thing should be done by you and your second uncle. You take care of it yourself, and improve the quality of the receipt, and you will make more money. If you collect it in a daze, you also talk about favors and face, and that kind of business will not last long. ”
At ten o'clock, Chen Qingshui and Chen Kai came over. Chen Qingshui had a good night's sleep. After breakfast, I wanted to come over and discuss going to the market together to buy some New Year's goods, but I saw that the delivery customers were still one after another, so I could only smile bitterly.
The day passed in the non-stop receiving. By the afternoon, Chen Yuan was already a little tired. The brothers Chen Qingjiang and Chen Qingshui were still in high spirits. The two expressed their opinions and discussed a price.
Dinner was eaten together.
After eating, Chen Qingjiang and Chen Qingshui were still discussing how to receive the goods.
Suddenly, Chen Yuan opened his mouth and said, "Dad, second uncle, I will definitely leave my relatives during the Chinese New Year." In the past, our family was not rich, so I won't talk about it. Now that your business has made a lot of money, why do you have to buy a car and drive it? ”
