Chapter Twenty-Eight: Peng Lei's Idea
Although Peng Miao only ate half a plum, she was full of praise. Even if such a delicious plum is sold, someone will definitely buy it. No wonder Zhong Huan and Peng Lei can earn a month's salary in one day, she wants to quit and work with Zhong Huan. But at the moment, Zhong Huan obviously doesn't need so many people, and Peng Miao didn't mention it.
"You've had a hard day, rest for a while, and I'll cook for you." Peng Miao said to her two younger brothers after eating the plums.
"Sister Peng Miao, don't bother. Let's go eat out together. I'm in for a treat. Zhong Huan was not too embarrassed to trouble Peng Miao, after all, she had also been working for a day.
"Look at you, I just said don't waste it and you forgot. How good it would be to save some money to marry a beautiful daughter-in-law in the future. Peng Miao joked.
"I'm still far from marrying a daughter-in-law. Besides, it's not a waste to go out for a meal, so it's time to celebrate our opening today. ”
"Big brother is right! Sister, let's eat out today. Don't let the eldest brother spend money, younger brother, I invite you. ”
Peng Lei knew that his sister was used to saving money for her tuition, and she hadn't been to a restaurant for a long time. Now that he has made money, he also wants to thank his sister for taking care of him for so many years.
"You kid, you don't listen to your eldest sister after you recognize your eldest brother, do you? When I say Zhong Huan, I mean you, how good it is to save money to pay tuition and marry a daughter-in-law. You can't save money by eating and drinking. Peng Miao flicked Peng Lei's brain collapse and said.
"But if you don't eat or drink, you'll die! It doesn't cost much to go out once in a while. Sister, you just listen to me once. Otherwise, if we vote, it will definitely be two to one. Peng Lei rubbed his forehead and said.
"Good! I will listen to you. But this meal must be invited by Lei Lei, you have to thank Zhong Huan for helping you so much. ”
Peng Miao didn't object when she saw her brother's insistence, it didn't matter if she went out to eat by herself, but she felt that she should take this opportunity to thank Zhong Huan. If Zhong Huan hadn't had a way, Peng Lei wouldn't have made so much money.
The three of them discussed, found a food stall outside, and ordered a few cold dishes and skewers. In front of Peng Miao, Zhong Huan and Peng Lei didn't dare to drink too much wine, but just opened three bottles of beer and celebrated them as champagne. After eating, they made an appointment to continue the stall tomorrow, and the three of them said goodbye and went home.
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Zhong Huan still pulled a cart of plums to find Peng Lei. Although many fruits and vegetables can already be produced in the Ten Thousand Beast Gu, no matter how good the vegetables are, they are not easy to sell for a high price. One is that the price of vegetables themselves is lower than that of fruits, and the other is that vegetables cannot be tasted, just looking at the appearance, the crops produced by the Ten Thousand Beast Gu are only larger, which does not prove that the taste is good. So Zhong Huan still chose to sell fruits.
Zhong Huan and Peng Lei came to the place where the stall was set up yesterday and found that Niu Shuoguo did not come, and no one else took it. The two of them spread the plastic sheeting they had prepared in advance on the ground and unloaded the plums from the car.
The cake cutter and other vendors next to him all knew that Zhong Huan was a ruthless person who beat Niu Shuoguo, so naturally no one came to make trouble, and no one dared to occupy this place. Zhong Huan and Peng Lei didn't know that the one yesterday had already spread on this street, and the two of them were considered to be powerful on this street, and no one would easily provoke them again. This kind of benefit from fighting is something they simply couldn't have imagined before.
According to the previous discussion, this time Peng Lei was in charge of watching the stall, and Zhong Huan continued to pull the goods. After the two separated, Zhong Huan pedaled out of the free market.
Although Zhong Huan's purchase of goods from the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu was a matter of minutes, in order not to expose the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu, he had to spend a little more time to create the illusion of going to the master's house to pull the goods. During this time, he happened to use it to procure the items needed in the Ten Thousand Beast Gu.
First of all, Zhong Huan wants to buy a tricycle. The area of the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu is too large, just a Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, it will take Zhong Huan a whole day to go up and down, not to mention the Ten Thousand Beast Plains under the mountain. If he could drive, he would like to buy a car and put it in the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu. Now he picks fruits on the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain and carries them to the storage hall one by one, although it can serve the purpose of exercising, but the efficiency is too low, and it is still convenient to transport by car.
The ordinary human tricycle that Zhong Huan is riding costs a few hundred yuan, and if it is an electric tricycle, it costs several thousand yuan. There is no way to charge it in the Ten Thousand Beast Gu, it is enough to have a manpower three-wheeler. However, the electric tricycle sold by the merchant also made Zhong Huan very excited, after all, the tricycle he was riding now was borrowed, and he couldn't borrow it all the time, so it was more convenient to have his own car.
Thinking that he would have to buy it sooner or later, Zhong Huan fought with the boss who sold the car, and finally bought two tricycles at a price of 5,000 yuan, one electric and one manpower. After buying it, Zhong Huan pushed the two cars in turn to a place where no one was there and stored them in the storage hall. At present, he can't ride a new car back to let Peng Lei see it, so he can only take out the electric three-wheeler in two days.
By the time he finishes buying the car, the money he made yesterday will bottom out, and the time will be about the same. Zhong Huan "conjured" a cart of plums and rode back.
Peng Lei saw that Zhong Huan had pulled back a cart of plums in less than half a day, and he was also very curious about where Zhong Huan's master lived, he didn't seem to have heard of any large orchards nearby. It's just that because Zhong Huan said before that he wanted to keep it secret, Peng Lei didn't ask much.
The previous cart of plums had almost been sold at this time, and Zhong Huan's cart of plums came at the right time. After the two of them unloaded, they took turns to have lunch, and then Zhong Huan transported the plums again, and the time was four or five o'clock in the afternoon.
"Big brother, I don't think you have to run anymore today. It's almost time to close the stall when the car is sold out. ”
Peng Lei stayed in the market for a day and had a certain understanding of the business situation. There are three peaks in customer traffic throughout the day, the first is the morning market in the morning, the second is the hour or two when the company breaks for dinner at noon, and then after work in the evening. The hot afternoon is a low point in sales, and there are hardly any pedestrians on the road. According to Peng Lei's prediction, selling three truckloads of plums a day, the market is already saturated.
"Good! After selling this car, we will close the stall. By the way, don't forget to leave some for your sister to try. Let's just say that we didn't sell it, otherwise your sister should be talking about saving money to marry a daughter-in-law. ”
Zhong Huan also felt that it was almost over, and the money was not earned in a day. Today, he sold three carts of plums, and his income was three times that of yesterday, and he took the lion's head at least 20,000 yuan, which was already very satisfying.
"I understand!" Peng Lei knew his sister's temper, and when he saw that Zhong Huan also knew this, he couldn't help laughing. Suddenly, Peng Lei remembered something again, and said to Zhong Huan: "By the way, the person selling fruit opposite today came to ask me where the plums were batched, but I didn't tell him." He asked me if I could sell it to him cheaper, and he accepted it, but I didn't dare to agree. I would like to ask what you mean. ”
Zhong Huan glanced at the fruit stall opposite when he heard this, and estimated that the No. 1 plums in the universe he sold had robbed a lot of business on the other side, and the so-called peers were enemies. Zhong Huan has no ill feelings towards fruit sellers, after all, whether it is listening to business intelligence or talking about acquisitions, it is a normal business behavior. As long as he doesn't bully the market like Niu Shuoguo, Zhong Huan can accept it.
"And what do you think?" Zhong Huan decided to ask Peng Lei's opinion first.
"I think it depends on the yield of plums. If the production volume is small, of course, we can make the most profit in retail. If the output is large, it is not impossible to engage in wholesale. Yesterday I thought about it for the night and talked to my sister again. I feel like there's a more lucrative way to make our business. Peng Lei's eyes lit up as he spoke, obviously he didn't spend much time pondering.
Zhong Huan put more than half of his mind on the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu, he didn't think too much about business, and at this time, he heard Peng Lei say that there was a more profitable way to make money, and he immediately asked: "You say, what is the way?" ”
"We sell fruit in a wholesale and retail model. Wholesale volume is large, the return of funds is fast, although the profit is not as good as retail, but it is better in small profits and quick turnover. We can sell up to three carts of plums a day in retail, and at least six carts in wholesale, so that the money comes faster, provided that our master has so many goods. Even if we continue to retail, there is still room for improvement, such as a little more exquisite packaging, or made into a fruit gift box or something, it will definitely be better than selling now. ”
Zhong Huan didn't expect that Peng Lei, who had just been trading for two days, summed up a set of business experience, which seemed to be quite reasonable, and he usually didn't find that he had a talent for business.
"Cheng, Peng Lei. Did you come up with it yourself? Not bad! ”
"Hehe~ Some of them are my own thoughts. Some of them were said by my sister. There are also mentions in customer chats. ”
Peng Lei couldn't help but be happy when he heard Zhong Huan affirm his thoughts. For the sake of this business, he is really very concerned.
"The fruits and vegetables in my master's place belong to the experimental field, and the yield is indeed not high. And because of the secrecy, it is impossible to hire trucks to transport goods on a large scale, and wholesale is probably unlikely. I've thought about the packaging you said, but we don't have the manpower, so we can't let my master be in charge of the packaging. ”
In the outside world, one day later, there will be a year's fruit production in the Ten Thousand Beast Gu. This output can keep up with the speed of wholesale, but Zhong Huan can't pick it alone. Unless he prolongs the time he spends in the Ten Thousand Beast Gu. However, in this way, the time for him to disappear will increase, and it will be troublesome if someone finds him. It's the same with packaging, he can't even be busy picking, let alone packaging.
"Then has our master considered expanding the scale of planting? If Master agrees, we can try planting in Xiaohe Village. Once successful, Master will take a stake in the technology and own 50% of the shares in dividends. In this way, Master and we can both earn more money, and the villagers of Xiaohe Village can also benefit, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. ”
Peng Lei's ideal is to lead the whole village to become rich and well-off, and now he can't help but be tempted to see such a good variety of fruits and vegetables.
Zhong Huan couldn't help but move when he heard Peng Lei's words. The first batch of fruits and vegetables planted in the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu were transplanted from Xiaohe Village for free. If the fruits and vegetables cultivated in the Ten Thousand Beast Gu could feed back to Xiaohe Village, so that Peng Lei's family and the simple villagers of Xiaohe Village could make a fortune, of course he would be happy. I just don't know what the situation is like when the fruits and vegetables in the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu are planted outside.
