Chapter 2 Speculation

"It's better to be high-speed rail!" Sitting in the green leather car, Lin Fan, who has been sitting for 9 hours, stretched his waist and sighed, thinking about the opening of the high-speed rail ten years later, it only takes one and a half hours from Zhonghai to Mingshi, and the carriage is clean and comfortable, where is it like now, it will take a full 9 hours to reach the destination.

Ming City is not big, ranking low among the 12 prefecture-level cities in the province, but it has the largest Chinese herbal medicine market in the province, as long as you think of it, you can buy it here. The reason why Lin Fan worked tirelessly and traveled thousands of miles to come to Ming City came from a message in his previous life.

When chatting with friends in my previous life, I once mentioned that in this ** that swept the world, there was a Chinese herbal medicine, and the value doubled, that is, "honeysuckle", which is said to have risen to 300 yuan per kilogram at the peak. And the supply exceeds demand, even the laborers who are responsible for the handling can earn thousands of yuan in and out of the transportation fee every day.

The price of honeysuckle has been very stable, but since April 2003, the State Drug Administration organized experts to publish several prescriptions for prevention, honeysuckle happens to be the main drug in it, and then the price of honeysuckle has risen sharply. Many pharmacists have made a lot of money as a result. Since then, the state has introduced policies to limit the price increase of drugs. But before that, many people had already made a lot of money.

Reach out and hail a taxi. "Master, go to the medicinal herb market!"

"Young man, you don't listen to the accent locals, you've been here before?" The taxi driver was very enthusiastic, and as soon as Lin Fan got in the car, the driver laughed and chatted.

"First time here, master, I want to buy some honeysuckle, do you know which district?"

"Of course I know, in Area C, I'll take you directly over and tell you that there are no places in Ming City that I don't know. The medicinal herb market is often passed, and every corner is very familiar! The driver said with a smile.

Lin Fan chatted with the driver, and soon the taxi arrived at the Chinese herbal medicine market.

Lin Fan paid for the car, and after getting out of the car, he saw that there were people coming and going in the market, and all kinds of delivery cars were honking non-stop. This is probably a major feature of the market.

Lin Fan walked around the market for a long time, and basically understood the current price of "honeysuckle", which was basically 20-23 yuan per kilogram, Lin Fan breathed a long sigh of relief, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and entered a pharmacy called "Centennial Hall".

There are also a few customers in the store who are choosing medicinal materials, and a middle-aged woman is following to introduce the medicinal materials and prices. A middle-aged man about forty years old, sitting behind the counter, holding a newspaper in one hand and a cigarette butt in the other, saw Lin Fan come in. Just glanced at him, and then looked down at the newspaper again.

Lin Fan just turned 18 years old this year, and his face is delicate, Si Swenwen looks like a student, and no one treats him as a customer.

Lin Fan walked up to the middle-aged man and said, "May I ask which one is the boss?"

The middle-aged man raised his head to look at him again, put down the newspaper and said, "I am, is there something wrong?"

Lin Fan smiled mildly and said, "I want to purchase some medicinal materials, but I haven't asked your surname yet?" ”

The middle-aged man stood up and said, "Don't be surnamed Wang, Wang Degui, what medicinal materials do you need?" In the entire medicinal material market, the goods at home are the most complete, and the quality is needless to say" Seeing that the other party is a customer, in line with the purpose of the customer is God, Wang Degui finally greeted people with a smile.

Lin Fan said politely: "It turned out to be Mr. Wang!" Turning his gaze to the "honeysuckle" in the store, he asked, "What is the price of this now?" ”

"20 yuan a kilogram, how much do you want?" Wang Degui was a little disappointed, and the profits of honeysuckle were not high.

"Can it be cheaper to buy more?" After Lin Fan heard the other party's offer, he basically recognized Wang Degui, the other party did not raise the price indiscriminately because he was young, this is an honest businessman.

Wang Degui frowned: "How much do you want?" The price I quoted is already the lowest in the market. Only more than 500 kg will be given further discounts. ”

Lin Fan's face did not change and said: "It must be more than 500 kilograms, what is your maximum discount?" ”

Wang Degui looked at Lin Fan suspiciously: "Little brother, I think you should still be at the age of studying, what are you doing with so much honeysuckle?" ”

Lin Fan said: "I make flower tea at home and purchase raw materials, does it mean that Mr. Wang also has requirements for my procurement purposes?" ”

Wang Degui laughed and said, "How can it? is just curious to ask, the little brother is extraordinary at a glance, and he can be on his own at a young age. That's it, 18 yuan a kilogram is good, the first time to cooperate, make a friend. After understanding the purpose of Lin Fan's procurement, he knew that there would definitely be a large number of follow-up purchases in the future, so Wang Degui was very polite.

"15 yuan a kilogram, I want 6,000 kilograms." Lin Fan said.

Wang Degui was stunned, 6000 kilograms? Is this a purchase or a way to clear your inventory? If it's true, there won't be any more honeysuckle in stock this year. Thinking of this, Wang Degui's eyes lit up and said, "You want 6,000 kilograms?" ”

Lin Fan probably knew what Wang Degui was thinking, and he was silent on the surface, but he muttered to himself in his heart: "Old Wang, old Wang, don't hate me in the future." ”

Nodding his head, he said, "That's right, 6000 kg"

Wang Degui took out the calculator, knocked it a few times, looked up and said to Lin Fan: "16 yuan a kilogram, it can't be lower, otherwise I won't have anything to earn." And you want so much, looking at the entire medicinal herb market, only I can adjust it."

Lin Fan took into account the estimated profit of more than ten times, so he didn't care about it anymore, and finally the two agreed on 16 yuan a kilogram, but Wang Degui was responsible for sending the goods to Zhonghai.

Lin Fan signed a contract with Wang Degui, and after swiping the card to pay at the same time, Wang Degui checked it carefully, patted Lin Fan's shoulder with his big hand, and said: "Brother, you are a cheerful person, my old Wang likes to deal with young people with a character like you, today I will be the east, and the brothers will have two drinks." ”

Lin Fan scratched his head, no matter what, he was not embarrassed to eat Wang Degui's meal, his current behavior was tantamount to snatching money from Wang Degui's pocket. said: "Mr. Wang is not polite, I am in a hurry to return to Zhonghai, and I will talk about it when I have a chance in the future." ”

Wang Degui saw that he was resolute, and he was not polite, but Lin Fan turned around and said when he left: "Mr. Wang, I suggest you prepare more goods in the near future!" ”

"Uh-huh". Wang Degui responded in his mouth, and he didn't take it seriously in his heart, Lin Fan couldn't say it anymore, took the phone number of the delivery driver, and left his dormitory phone at the same time, mobile phones have not been fully popularized in this era, and there are one or two in a class in the college student group, Lin Fan's family conditions are average, so naturally there is no mobile phone.

On the way back to Zhonghai, Lin Fan was full of ambition, in May, as long as another month passed, he believed that the batch of goods in his hand would bring him relatively abundant funds, and his first step in entrepreneurship could finally be taken.

Although he may have made a lot of money by using the information of his previous life this time, Lin Fan didn't have much joy. Because this kind of profit is tantamount to making a fortune for the country, and at the same time it is unsustainable.
