Chapter 20 Market Research

Although I don't know the price of rice in Jinyang City, according to the sale of oranges, as well as the many displaced people and refugees in the city. It is not difficult to speculate, but in the event of a national disaster, the price of rice will definitely rise. The rise in the price of rice will lead to a corresponding increase in all kinds of grain products, so there should be a lot to be done in the buying and selling of grain. Du Le finally came to this conclusion.

Moreover, food, unlike fruits, is absolutely needed and indispensable for everyone. If the grain is well managed, there will be huge profits. It's just that, in general, food is a strategic material for a country. Dealing with food in troubled times comes with certain risks.

In any case, Du Le preliminarily set a plan for the next step. Although there is a little money, it is not suitable for a large number of purchases for the time being, and it is necessary to do a good job of preliminary market research and some grain and grain product reserves.

When it was time to eat, the little sister Du Lan called Du Le out to eat outside the room.

Du Le glanced at the hour clock on the table, a quarter past six in the afternoon. Du Le didn't expect to sleep for so long, but he didn't seem to be very hungry. Listening to the little sister's shout, Du Le had a smile on his face. You don't have to be hungry to eat as a family.

Du Tian and Du Lan were very efficient, and as soon as Du Le sat down at the dinner table, the two of them copied a copy of the bank card account number and handed it to Du Le on a piece of paper. Du Le glanced at it, folded it, and put it in his pocket.

After eating, the Dule family sat in front of the TV for a while and watched two episodes of the costume TV series in a row. At about half past nine, Du Le took some food from his commissary, made an excuse, and went back to his room to rest.

Although the economy of the Tule family is not very good, as a local resident of the town, the homestead left by the ancestors is large enough, and a few rooms have been built, and the three children can have their own small house.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, when the whole family was asleep, Du Le stripped naked, packed the clothes and food into the space, and then set his room as a temporary coordinate point, and started the teleportation function of the positioning teleporter again.

When Du Le reappeared in the alley, he looked up at the sky, where there were still two moons. With the previous experience, Du Le was no longer flustered, and he hurriedly got dressed.

Although the moon was in the sky, Du Le could feel it, and it seemed that it was almost dawn. Is it already morning? Du Le has never been able to figure out whether the time of the earth is synchronized with the time of this world. However, in Du Le's mind, although there are some differences, the difference should not be too big.

It was not the first time he came, and the city had not changed much, and Du Le had already memorized the route, and after avoiding the patrolling soldiers, he soon came to the door of his own fruit shop.

There were no pedestrians on the street, everything was quiet, only one or two sounds of a watch could be heard not far away.

Du Le knocked softly on the wooden door of the fruit shop, sound enough to be heard inside, but not too far. The fruit shop is very small, and if Zhao Quan's family lives in it, they will definitely not sleep in the backroom.

Sure enough, after three rings, Zhao Quan's voice came from inside.

"Who?"

"It's me, Düller."

"Ahh Is it the Lord? Zhao Quan asked in a low voice, but his hands and feet were not slow, and with a sound, the wooden door of the fruit store was opened, and Du Le quickly got in.

"Bring the planks and close the door." Du Le said after entering.

Zhao Quan closed the door, Du Le just found a stool to sit down, and Zhao Quan's family knelt in front of him to say hello.

Du Le was still very unaccustomed to it, and was almost at a loss, so he hurriedly settled down and asked them all to get up and sit aside.

"Okay, don't be too outward, don't be polite." Du Le said softly.

"Thank you, Lord!" Zhao Quan stood up and bowed and said.

"How's the situation in the store?" Du Le was eager to see if everything was going as smoothly as he imagined. …,

"Lord, all the oranges in the store were sold out in less than an hour after you left yesterday." Zhao Quan took out an account book and said, "There are many families who have made deposits, and I have recorded them all at the request of the Lord." ”

"Well," said Düller, taking the ledger and looking carefully by the light of the lamp, "is there anything else?" ”

Zhao Quan smiled a little excitedly, "Oranges are selling well, and the palace has also sent people over to say that the emperor wants to eat oranges." ”

Du Le frowned and asked, "What do you mean?" Do you want us to donate? ”

Zhao Quan was speechless for a moment, and found that Du Le was not as happy as him, so he hurriedly said: "Of course not, it's just that the palace wants one yuan of gold coins and five oranges." And 500 yuan gold coins have been laid down in advance. ”

Could it be that the emperor wants to buy it by force? Du Le thought for a while and said, "The amount of the palace is given priority, and this time I brought a lot of oranges here. It's just that selling oranges is not a long-term way, and this time the goods are sold out, you have to tell the customers that due to the war, you can no longer transport oranges to Jinyang City. ”

Zhao Quan's regretful look was clear at a glance, and Du Le was a little unhappy. Although Zhao Quan became his own house slave, he didn't seem to put himself as the master first in his mind. If the Emperor of Chu gave an order, maybe he would be able to sell Du Le. Du Le only thought flashed through his mind, and he didn't care.

"Although we don't have a fruit shop, we can do other things." Du Le didn't mean to blame Zhao Quan, he needed a serious subordinate like Zhao Quan. And there are some business plans that need his assistance to complete.

Zhao Quan's family all had an expression of obedience, and Du Le's imaginary inquiry did not appear.

Du Le said a little boredly: "Now is a troubled time, since the fruit shop cannot be operated for a long time, then we have to change." ”

"You say, what is the most profitable thing in Jinyang City right now?" Dule said.

Zhao Quan pondered for a while and said, "The business of making money should be jewelry stores, pawnshops, and money banks." ”

"The old body thinks that the most profitable thing now should be the rice shop, one price a day, which is getting higher and higher." Zhao also spoke.

"That's right!" Du Le nodded and said, "In peacetime, jewelry stores, pawnshops, money banks and other businesses are the most profitable, but in troubled times, the most profitable ones should be those related to eating." In the troubled times, few people farmed, the grain harvest was greatly reduced, and the grain merchants deliberately sold at a high price, resulting in the price of rice being dozens or even 100 times higher than in the past. So, the business I'm going to do next is a business related to eating. ”

Du Le remembered the food he had placed in the space, rice crackers, potato chips, dried beef, and a few packets of instant noodles.

"Do you know the price of some food in Jinyang City? For example, the price of rice, vegetables, meat, steamed buns, oil cakes, steamed buns, and even restaurants is how much does a bowl of noodles cost? Du Le asked.

Zhao Quan's family looked at each other for a while, and then Zhao said: "Rice, vegetables, meat, buns and other food on the street, and my daughter-in-law has bought vegetables on the street, so I should be more clear, and Zhao Quan has been to the restaurant, so I should know a little more." ”

Du Le nodded and said, "Then you can tell me all the market information of Zhilu Dao." ”
