Chapter 348: Serious Problem
After the fat man barbecued, Miao Yi's family, Xu Dong, Mu Siqing, and Qin Yu had a hasty meal, and while it was still early, they wanted to take a look at the jade vein.
In fact, the jade vein is not very far from the village, and it is about the "back mountain" that Daddy Chamo said.
Needless to say, the terrain is rugged and dangerous along the way, among the woods and grasses, there is a sound of a strange rope from time to time, and it is estimated that the poisonous insects, snakes and ants in this area are also indispensable.
Miao Yi's father opened the way in front, and sprinkled some powder from time to time along the way, which was probably some medicinal powder to repel poisonous insects.
Miao Yi's father explained that the terrain in the mountains behind this is peculiar, creating countless kinds of poisonous insects, snakes and ants in it, and ordinary people are afraid of this area, but they can't move forward, otherwise, even if it is just a small vein, it will be mined for a long time.
Mu Siqing and the others felt that Miao Yi's father was quite reasonable, the value of jade was not bad, but it would kill anyone who encountered a bug casually, and ordinary people really didn't dare to come in lightly.
Among several people, Xu Dong was the only one who smiled faintly and never talked too much.
A group of people climbed over a small hill, and there was a small piece of flat land on the mountainside, Miao Yi's father stopped, pointed to a groove on the edge of the flat land, against the side of the mountain, and said that this was where the vein was.
Xu Dong took a closer look, the excavated place is really not big, the height and width are not more than two meters, but the depth is not less than ten meters, and there are some broken stones scattered on the ground, the whole site looks very barren, even the small trees are the size of bowls, but it looks like it has been abandoned for many years.
Xu Dong recognized that some of the scattered stones contained jadeite, but, as Miao Yi's father said, the jadeite among these stones was not a particularly valuable variety with a large size and good texture, at least, it was not as good as the jadeite that Xu Dong already had.
Presumably, this is why other people don't pay attention to this abandoned vein.
Qin Yu looked at the surrounding terrain, listened to Miao Yi's father's introduction, and then turned his head and asked Xu Dong if there was any investment value in this mine.
Xu Dong thought for a while, and then said: "Actually, if you only supply one or two demand, the quantity is about the same, the key is the texture, if according to my idea, the source of goods here can only be aimed at low-end customers, which is very in line with our established strategy, but Uncle Qin, I don't know what kind of ideas you have." β
Qin Yu pondered for a moment and said: "Actually, my thoughts are similar to yours, these things, to say that there are really top customers, in fact, there are still not many, most of what we do is also aimed at middle-level consumers, of course it is good to have such a stable supply channel......
After a pause, Qin Yu continued: "It is indeed a blessing for you and me to be able to monopolize this vein, otherwise, the two of us have the same investment, the same share, buy this vein, and everyone will make a little money together, what do you think." β
According to Qin Yu's meaning, that is, one person pays half of the investment, of course, in terms of income, it is also two and one plus five, and everyone shares it equally.
Xu Dong thought for a while and said: "Otherwise, Uncle Qin, the people in your hands are more experienced in this area, and in terms of funds, I will have two percent more, and you will be four and I will be six, but in terms of specific management, Uncle Qin, your side will be fully responsible, and if you have income, I will be four and you six." β
Qin Yu laughed loudly, laughed for a while, and then said: "Little Brother Xu, I originally wanted to say these words, but I didn't expect you to take the lead, hehe...... Well, since you have the upper hand, I won't say much, okay, just do what you say......"
When he got the silver in his hand, Xu Dong actually insisted on pushing it out, not to mention, the pirate wanted to take an extra 20% of the money out to be considered an investment, Mu Siqing and the fat man were both very puzzled.
Zhang Huairen said with a smile on the side: "Little Brother Xu, you slippery head, hehe, when you shake your hands and are in charge, you are indeed a lot more leisurely, hehe...... Aren't you afraid that we'll take the lead in the middle? β
As soon as Zhang Huairen said this, the fat man and Mu Siqing realized that Xu Dong pulled Qin Yu here just to be a hands-off shopkeeper, which is indeed in line with Xu Dong's character - the general direction of things has been decided, and Xu Dong will throw it to others with one hand.
Speaking of pulling his head to do his tricks, Xu Dong's face turned red, smiled, and said: "What kind of person is Uncle Qin, what he said is similar to a nail on an iron plate, this is not a big business, how can he do those dirty things in the middle!" Besides, if I can't trust Uncle Qin, how can I go to Uncle Qin to discuss this matter. β
was praised by Xu Dong, Qin Yu laughed for a long time, and then said: "The price of goods in this place is more than half cheaper than in China, so let's do it, our first phase of investment is only 10 million, and then depending on the situation and effect, we will decide whether to continue to invest in additional investment or terminate, little brother Xu, what do you think." β
The first phase of investment of 10 million, the money I want to pay, is only 6 million, which is not much lower than Xu Dong expected, besides, at that time, even if there is really no production, I will only lose a few million, which is not a big deal.
At that moment, Xu Dong nodded and expressed his absolute approval of Qin Yu's suggestion, and at that moment, everyone relied on their words to discuss properly.
As for Miao Yi's father's side, the price he asked for was not high, only one million, and within ten years, the price would never be increased, and all the jadeite produced, regardless of quality, would be handed over to Qin Yu and Xu Dong for processing.
Early the next morning, Xu Dong dealt with the delivery of funds with Qin Yu and others, and then said goodbye, reluctantly leaving this small mountain village and returning to Tongcheng.
In this way, Xu Dong and the others came out this time, although they experienced many dangers, but after all, they returned with a full load.
After a few days of hard work, at noon on this day, the three of them returned to Tongcheng, Mu Siqing was very worried that it would not be very convenient to go directly like this, and Xu Dong and the fat man discussed it slightly, and then went home by themselves, Xu Dong and the fat man rented a car, and in less than ten minutes, they finally returned to the villa on Binhe Road in Tongcheng.
Standing at the door of the villa, Xu Dong couldn't help but sigh with emotion, Sang's mother, who was waiting at the door early in the morning, had a few more strands of white hair on her head, Sang Qiuxia was erect and haggard, and Sang Qiuyu was also dissatisfied.
As soon as he entered the house, he had just sat down, and Sang Qiuyu asked Xu Dong.
ββWhat my brother-in-law said, go and buy some goods and come back, it won't take a few days, I never thought about it, it's been more than half a month, which makes myself and my mother worried, and my sister can't rest assured all the time.
As soon as I went out, I forgot about my home, this "brother-in-law" did it!
Looking at Sang Qiuyu, whose face was flushed and very dissatisfied, Xu Dong loved and pity, Sang Qiuyu really regarded himself as a family, and the head of the family, and he didn't mean to "see outside" at all, otherwise, with Sang Qiuyu's character, he might hide to the side and hurt his mind alone, and he wouldn't say a word about Xu Dong's no.
Fortunately, the fat man was very serious this time, and he was very strict to help Xu Dong explain, Xu Dong had no choice, something happened the next day when he arrived in the border city, but fortunately, he finally escaped by luck.
As soon as they heard that Xu Dong really had an accident, Sang's mother and Sang Qiuyu couldn't wait to get to the bottom of it, Sang Qiuxia just looked at Xu Dong silently and listened to the fat man's explanation silently.
Listening to the fat man say that Xu Dong was chased and killed because of gambling on stones, and accidentally fell into the river valley, the faces of the three members of the Sang family were blue, and everyone was indignant.
Those people, who really have no heavenly reason and are just doing business, how can they be like this.
Especially Sang Qiuyu, who walked in front of Xu Dong at this time, was stunned for a moment, and then bowed deeply to Xu Dong, and then said with tears in his eyes: "Brother-in-law, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you, I'm sorry......"
Sang's mother also said to Xu Dong kindly: "It's good if you come back, it's good when you come back......
Originally, after explaining this, the fat man should have stopped talking, don't go any further, who knew that as soon as the fat guy spoke, it was like the water of the Yellow River flooding, gushing endlessly, pouring thousands of miles, and he also said that he and Xu Dong were robbed of their husbands.
Speaking of this, it's okay that the fat man didn't say it, but when he said it, he immediately made Sang Qiuyu laugh, and the originally sad atmosphere unconsciously made the fat man mess up.
The fat man's eyebrows danced, and when it came to happiness, even Sang Qiuxia, who had been silent on the side, couldn't help but smile, and her originally haggard look recovered a little in an instant.
Seeing that the mustard between the three members of the Sang family disappeared with a smile, Xu Dong asked Sang Qiuxia at this time, how is the business in the store after he has been gone for a while?
Sang Qiuxia replied lightly, there is no big business to do, at the end of the day, it is only a hundred yuan of income, which is basically a big loss, the fundamental reason for the loss is that it is not easy for a customer to come to the door, but there is not much room for choosing items, that is to say, there is a shortage of goods in the shop!
There is no goods to sell, and where can he make money, for this matter, Li Siyan was so anxious that he stomped his feet! He also said that if he continues like this, he may not be able to do it for long.
Xu Dong was silent for a while, and then said that he not only brought back a batch of high-quality jadeite over there, but also found a stable source of goods.
However, this batch of high-quality jadeite, up to now, is still a rough blank, not to mention made into carved pieces, put on the shelves, even if it is only finely ground out, it will take a long time.
It seems that this shop can only lose money for a while.
