Chapter Ninety-Seven: Ordering Stones

When I got up in the morning, I looked at the computer, the closing price of Brent crude oil was $89, and I checked my futures account and capital account, and it was successfully traded, and the average net profit per barrel was more than $15 after deducting handling fees. Transfer the money from Boss Sun's gold purchase to the card, and prepare to go to the bank in the morning to transfer it to the company's account.

After breakfast, Mengxin and Wu Fang's original drivers sent all the people at home who were going to go to the driving school to study, and Wuyang drove himself to buy a stone cutter. Talking to Qiu Xiaomu about futures, Xiaomu said that he had thrown out last night, and it was a single of $88.80 filled in, with a net profit of $16 per barrel and a total profit of $41.6 million. Wuyang was also very happy for him, said goodbye, transferred the gold money from the card to the company account at the city bank, and drove on the road.

The place where the stone cutter is purchased is a county seat on the side of the Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway in the north of central and southern China, which is the production area of granite in central and southern provinces, and is about 400 kilometers away from the Lujiang River. When Wuyang arrived, it was already 12 noon. I found a restaurant with more high-grade decoration and more parking to eat. Now that I've traveled a lot, I'm more experienced. It is not possible to enter the hotel just by looking at the decoration, only the hotel with more parking, either the food tastes good, or the service attitude is good, and the price is fair.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw that the table in the hall was almost full, so I asked the little girl who hurriedly came over to say hello, "Is there a private room?" ”

The little girl smiled and said, "I'm sorry, boss, our business here is relatively good, the place is small, not to mention the box now, even the hall has only a small table, otherwise you will be settled, eat here." ”

"Okay." Wuyang finished speaking. Then the little girl came to the small table in the corner of the hall and sat down.

The little girl quickly turned around and brought tea and recipes. Wuyang took the tea. He didn't answer the recipe, because he had just seen the signature dish written on the small blackboard, so he ordered a sauerkraut roasted yellow eel and a boiled amaranth. For more than 30 yuan, the dishes are available, and the soup is also available.

The little girl walked for a while, and soon came back, and Wuyang thought it was served. So he got up and prepared to go and fill the meal. The little girl said, "Boss, I'm sorry, we are all full here today, and now there are two more people, can you let them squeeze on your table?" ”

"It's okay, come on, I don't need such a big place by myself." Wuyang nodded in agreement.

Soon two girls came over, looking like sisters, with big eyes and a high nose bridge. The complexion is slightly dark, and he is tall. Jeans, casual clothes, this is almost a particularly popular dress, and Wuyang himself is dressed like this.

"Big brother, I'm sorry to bother you." Said the young girl.

"It's okay, please sit down, everyone is out of the house, it is inevitable that there will be inconvenient times, don't mind." Wuyang said with a smile.

After the two sat down, the waiter girl served tea again and handed over the recipe, neither of them took the recipe, and the older girl said: "Vegetarian fried fresh and fresh, yellow stuffed crucian carp." Hurry up. ”

"Okay, please wait, it'll be right away." The little girl finished speaking and left.

"Big brother, may I ask why you came to us?" The big girl said.

Wuyang estimates that her age must be older than herself, but she is full of stubble, and she has been in Myanmar for more than 20 days and has become an African, and people really can't see her age.

"You are locals, why don't you cook at home and come to the restaurant to eat?" Wuyang actually listened to their accents, and already knew that Lu Dao was a local, so he purely changed the topic. It is common for someone to be accidentally taken into a cage.

"My home is dozens of kilometers away from the county seat, my father is not in good health, and my mother takes care of him at home. My sister and I have a shop and we don't have any employees, so we don't have time to cook when business is good. The little girl said.

"What kind of business are you doing, business must be good, right?" Wuyang asked.

The eldest girl said: "We are mainly in the business of stone cutter spare parts, and sometimes we also do some reselling stone and stone tools. ”

"Then if you sell a pair of stone lions of two tons each, what is the price?"

After the completion of the stone villa, there were a few people to sell the stone lions, two tons of stone lions, a pair of prices are 14,000, 5,000 looks, grandpa said, we will build a manor, need a lot of stones, so we went to buy it together. So Wuyang wanted to use this price to test the price of the sisters' goods.

"A two-ton lion, if the carving is ordinary, it is 6,000 pairs, and if the shape is complicated, it will cost 8,000, big brother, what kind do you want to buy?" The little girl said.

"I'm going to see first, and I'll buy that one that's suitable. My name is Li Wuyang, and I haven't asked you for your name. ”

The little girl said, "My sister's name is Mo Chuntao, and my name is Mo Qiuyue." Brother Li, let's take you to see it after dinner, okay? ”

"It's good." Wuyang simply agreed.

At this time, the food was already served, and Mo Qiuyue snatched Wuyang's rice bowl and filled it for him. The three of them made each other want to eat, and it seemed that they were originally people who came to eat together.

After dinner, I came to their store, which was a street front of more than ten square meters, with a dazzling array of accessories, and two pairs of stone lions at the door. Wuyang didn't come to buy the stone lion in the first place, and the stone lion of the Mo sisters was relatively small and not magnificent, so Wuyang mentioned the matter of the stone cutter and talked about the model of the stone cutter that Zhou Dian told him, Mo Chuntao turned over the price list, and the price quoted was similar to what Zhou Dian said, and Wuyang decided to do business with them.

"Both, I came today, in fact, to buy a stone cutter, the price you quoted is very fair, I will do business with you. I want 6 of the largest stone cutters, 4 medium ones, 15 portable ones, and 15 stone movers, all of which are up-to-date and have all the wearing parts. And contact the vehicle to send to Lujiang. ”

Mo Qiuyue said: "I don't have stock at home, and I have to go to someone else to transfer the goods, so it won't delay your time, right?" ”

"It's okay, otherwise you calculate the price first, let's go to the bank first, so that you can transfer the goods, and then you will arrange for me to read a book or something, to kill time."

"Brother Li, you are really good, we really don't have so much money to transfer goods. I'll figure it out right away. After the transfer. I'll take you fishing. It's the kind of crucian carp you just ate, it's delicious, isn't it? Mo Qiuyue said.

"It tastes pretty good, but now it's cold, can I fish?"

Mo Chuntao said: "The eldest brother is from the city, and he must not know how to fish and flood. Crucian carp will be fished after the beginning of spring, and the temperature will be high in summer, so it will be difficult to fish. ”

"Okay, let's have fun."

The accounts are settled. The two went to the bank to transfer the payment, and Mo Qiuyue took Wuyang to a pond on the outskirts of the city to fish. The owner of the fish pond specially prepared fishing rods, bait, etc., and guests can start fishing as long as they make a nest.

After settling in Wuyang, Mo Qiuyue called a motorcycle and left, and said before leaving: "Brother Li, you just play here, we will call you when we load the car." ”

After loading the bait in the afternoon, the fish were put into the water, and soon there were fish biting the hook, and after half an hour of fishing, more than 20 fish were caught. It's so easy to fish. Wuyang felt that there was no such feeling of tension and excitement, and people slacked off.

Leave a little bit of bait on the hook. Talk to the boss of the pond and ask the boss why there are so many fish in this pond.

The boss said: "This is the ten miles and eight towns of other people when they bought the pond, and the average person does not sell this kind of fish as fish, so I take it for my own time or give it away." I knew that people like to eat, so I went to buy it from others, and it was only 3 or 4 yuan and 1 catty. When guests come to me to fish, it is 8 yuan and 1 catty, and they can earn tens of thousands of yuan a year. ”

Wuyang thought, this is indeed a good way, in the future, in his own manor, the water surface is much larger than here, and he can also buy fish for guests to fish.

After a while, the hook, which rarely catches bait, was bitten by the fish again, and a large crucian carp pulled up. Wuyang simply closed the rod and stopped fishing, and asked the boss to install it for himself, and he wanted to take it back to Lujiang. After the boss weighed it, he put the fish into several plastic bags, and washed oxygen in the plastic bags before tying the hole.

When Wuyang took out the money to pay, the boss said that Miss Mo had said it just now and recorded it in her family's account. Wuyang said: "It's not easy for people to make a few dollars in business, so I don't want them to pay for it." "I insisted on paying for it myself.

Back at the faΓ§ade of the Mo sisters, the sisters were busy. The stone cutter has been loaded into the car, and they are picking out spare parts. When Wuyang saw them carrying heavier things, he took the initiative to go up and help.

Three people chatted while working. Mo Qiuyue asked, "Brother Li, did you come to buy these things for the public or for your own home?" ”

Wuyang said: "I bought some jadeite wool from outside at home, and I had to cut it to see if there was any jadeite inside, and if there was jadeite, I would process it and sell it." ”

"Do you have a lot of people in your family doing things?" Mo Chuntao asked.

"Look at how it is calculated, if you only count the people who eat at home, it is not a lot, and if you count all the people who work for our family, I am afraid there must be thousands of people." Wuyang said.

"Is your family starting a company?" Mo Qiuyue asked.

"Yes, it's a group company, the chairman is my uncle, my uncle's main business is the construction industry, and my family's main business is a gold jewelry store."

"What is my sister-in-law doing?" Mo Qiuyue asked.

"She basically doesn't care about anything, sometimes she is interested, and she also takes care of the gold jewelry store." Wuyang had never encountered such a problem before, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, so he had to say it casually, and put together the situation of several people, and it was not very fake to say it.

"How many children does Brother Li have? Nowadays, rich people have a lot of children. Mo Chuntao said.

"It's really what you said, I have 4 children now, and there may be more in the future, anyway, I have to pay a fine, no way, just pay the fine." Wuyang is talking nonsense based on the current situation.

"There are 4 children to have to be born, are all 4 girls?" Mo Chuntao asked. Nowadays, in some rural families, it is common for them to give birth to two or three girls in order to give birth to a boy. So Mo Chuntao has something to say.

"No, the boy has to take his mother's surname, so he has to continue to give birth."

"The elders in your family are so good, and your own boy takes his mother's surname, which is impossible to imagine in other people's families." Mo Chuntao said.

"Brother Li, my family is still in trouble. My parents don't have a boy, and they just want to leave one of our sisters at home and recruit a son-in-law to come to the door, so that we can pass on the lineage, but there are many only children in our generation, and if we give birth to a boy, we won't have a second one, so where can I find a family with two boys? Mo Qiuyue said.

"It's a real problem, but your parents don't have a boy, don't you live like this? Didn't your sisters do the same business prosperously? Wuyang said.

"That's different. We are responsible for the mountain inside the house. There is a large amount of granite that can be mined. It's because we don't have a boy in our family, so we can't do it, some outsiders and people from our own family have come to my parents many times and asked to buy granite mines cheaply, although my parents are now dead and don't sell, but if we can't find a son-in-law, sooner or later they will be sold to others. Mo Chuntao said.

"Then can't you sisters hire someone to mine it?" Wuyang asked.

"That's what we thought, too. But first of all, there is not enough funds, and secondly, there is no one in charge, so there is no such idea. Mo Qiuyue said.

"If I fund you to mine now, can you preside over this matter yourself?" Wuyang asked.

"Brother Li, how embarrassing is that? After all, we met for the first time, and we didn't know anything about it, so it was not appropriate for you to come and fund, and besides, our sisters didn't have the ability to preside, so there must be at least 3 people to put things aside. One person is in charge of the work of the mine, and one person is in charge of the sales business. It is also necessary for one person to preside over the maintenance of machinery and equipment. Mo Chuntao said. It seems that they have been thinking about this for a long time.

Wuyang said: "In fact, the two of you only need to arrange the personnel, and you can be the general manager." Nothing else at all. For example, the person who presides over the work of the mine, as long as you make a quota according to the output of other manufacturers, and reward those who complete the task, and reduce the salary if they fail to complete the task. Another example is the maintenance of machinery and equipment, I know that there are some tricks in this, you will adhere to the principle of exchanging the old for the new, not the things that must be replaced, you can not change, these things you have operated yourself, you must know the market, really not to buy your own. There is also the problem of sales, I estimate that in the next few years, our family's estate can fully underwrite your products, but our requirements are relatively high, and we must produce according to our requirements, which should not be very difficult. ”

"Brother Li, opening a granite mine is not something that can solve the problem for tens of thousands of yuan, you give us the money, can you rest assured?" Mo Qiuyue asked.

"Although we meet for the first time today, I can see from your business that you are a person, you are not the kind of villain who does not speak of credibility at all, and you also want to do a good job, of course I am relieved. Besides, even if these hundreds of thousands of dollars are gone, for you, you won't be able to make any money, and for me, it's not a big loss. ”

"Brother Li, since you said so, then we are welcome, how to operate in the future, you can talk about it." Mo Chuntao said.

"That's right, you should ask someone to take care of this shop first, and don't rush to stop here. After you do these things, you will come to my house, I will transfer the money to you, and I will also tell you our stone specifications and requirements, and you can organize production when you come back. ”

After speaking, Wuyang left his home address and phone number, and the Mo sisters also gave their phone number to Wuyang.

After loading the car, Mo Qiuyue said: "Brother Li, go back quickly, my sister-in-law must be in a hurry at home." ”

"Don't worry, the big truck is slower, he won't arrive when I get there." Wuyang just gave the car driver a copy of his home address. said goodbye to the Mo sisters and drove home.

After unloading the car, I invited the driver to eat again, and it was already more than 9 o'clock when I returned home. didn't go to take a bath, just went to Pei Xuewen, the father-in-law and mother-in-law of the Pei family were watching TV, and after saying hello at noon, they chatted with their father-in-law and mother-in-law about Pei Lei's situation for a while. Anyway, now you can video every day, and there is no problem of difficult to meet. Then he said about the purchase of stone, and asked him to arrange personnel to make a plan for the stone needed by the manor.

Pei Xuewen said: "The construction design of the manor has come out, and the amount of stone required has basically come out, so I will arrange for someone to copy it out and hand it over to you." ”

"Dad, I haven't asked over there for a long time, I don't know how the situation is now?" Wuyang said.

Pei Xuewen said: "The manor is currently under intense construction. The first is to clean up the silt, which has carried out about half of the project; The second is to cast concrete prefabricated parts and build a sightseeing road around the lake, which has reached the point of starting to transport the prefabricated parts to the lake, as long as the stamping is connected; the third is hotels, shops and other buildings, which have been building the underground foundation part; Fourth, the golf course, which has been basically completed, is only in the construction of lounges, practice courses and other facilities; Fifth, the planting of trees, about 500 acres of seedlings have been planted this spring, and some seedling companies have also been contacted, and it is estimated that all of them can be planted this winter; Sixth, the excavation work of the two small rivers has been completed, and the slope protection is currently being built, and the upstream and downstream sluices are being built; Seventh, the crops have been planted on time, and there will be no delay in agricultural time. You can rest assured. ”

Wuyang smiled happily, "Dad, you are a person who has commanded thousands of troops, how can I not worry about your affairs." ”

"Wuyang, you sycophant has slapped your father-in-law's itch, and he now misses the days when he commanded thousands of troops." Mother-in-law said with a smile.

"Mom, I'm not a sycophant, Dad was originally the one who commanded thousands of troops, and now on the construction site of our manor, isn't there also thousands of troops? Dad, do you want to see if we can separate this part of ours and set up a group company, and you will be the chairman and general manager. ”

Pei Xuewen thought about it for a while, "There is nothing inconvenient about the current operation mechanism, and it does not restrict the development of our business, so I don't think there is any need to make a false name and engage in another group company." There are a lot of things that are better than Taoguang. It's really not going to work in the future, and it's not like we can change it. ”

Wuyang will go fishing when purchasing stone cutters, the fish pond boss's practice told Pei Xuewen, Pei Xuewen said that our approach is basically the same, we will definitely buy a lot of various fish to put in, and we are in the lake, mainly put in the river fish fry caught in the river, and the fresh fish produced in the future will definitely taste the same as the river fish.
