Chapter 153 Purchase of grain at protective prices
Holding a bowl, Cao Yan squatted at the door of his fast food restaurant, looking at the people coming and going, a little happy, because his good person value was constantly increasing.
From the beginning, only a few people came to eat, and later, there was no seat, and many people could only squat on the side of the street with a bowl like Cao Yan.
Only three short days have passed.
At first, everyone didn't understand queuing, but Cao Yan used a few sections of rope to set out a queuing path in front of the store for them to comply.
Those who do not obey will be "invited" out, and at first there will be a few hard-headed unbelievers, but after a few lessons, everyone will be honest.
"Don't line up behind this person, there's no food, please come early tomorrow." A sister-in-law of the Lin family pointed to a position and shouted loudly.
"Why didn't I get it in line, and I didn't cook more meals in this store." Someone in the crowd complained.
"Not much? You see how many people come here to eat, even Mr. Fuhu is squatting on the side of the road, just now I saw him in the bowl, he doesn't have many dishes. ”
"That's a good business, isn't it?"
"Yes, not to mention the taste, even this amount, I feel that Mr. is losing money."
"Mr. Fuhu is really for the people of Li."
"Yes, if only there were more people like Mr. Fuhu in the world."
"Alas! That's right! But that's such a good thing, this year's rice harvest is bumper, and the black-hearted guys of the grain merchants are pushing down prices very much. ”
"Yes, in previous years, I bought 300-400 Wen and one stone of rice, but this year it is only 150 to 200 Wen, which makes people not live."
"Those people are vampires, and rice sells for two or five stones, and when it comes to green and yellow, it's normal to sell it to us for four or five times."
"Why don't we beg, Mr. Fuhu, and see if he can harvest rice?"
"Yes, he needs food to open a hotel anyway, and he can't get it, but he wants it."
Just when everyone was talking, a strange voice of yin and yang came from behind everyone: "Yes! Go and beg him, and if he doesn't get it, he'll take it at a high price. ”
Everyone looked back, it turned out to be the shopkeeper of Hequan Restaurant, and when they heard everyone's chat behind everyone, they couldn't help but laugh for a while.
Seeing the person at the door, the shopkeeper scolded: "What are you looking at? Get out of the way if you don't eat, and don't get in the way of our business, sir. ”
Since Cao Yan's fast food restaurant opened, the business of his store can be said to be a rare one person to come to the door one day. was angry, and I heard these people at the door talking crookedly about Cao Yan, how could he not let him get angry!
"Who are you scolding?" Someone asked angrily.
"You don't care who I scold, if there is a kind of you, you will let him collect your grain at a high price," the shopkeeper was blown by the cold wind at the door, and his mind calmed down, he knew that if he scolded Cao Yan again, then his fate would definitely not be good, he knew that only after Cao Yan came here to open a store, these merchants were all stained, and no thugs dared to collect protection money in this area now, so he immediately coaxed.
"Humph! Go and go, do you think Mr. Fuhu is like you black-hearted businessmen, regardless of the lives of the people? The people present were so excited by the owner of Hequan Restaurant that they were also angry.
"Go, go, I'll see, I'll see how much he can get your food!" The shopkeeper said with a sneer.
"Let's go." A few chattering people gritted their teeth and walked over to Cao Yan on the side of the road.
Just when they were about to get close to Cao Yan, a few people walked out from Cao Yan's side, it was Lin Ruyi and a few children, who stopped in front of Cao Yan, Lin Xiaoyang, and asked vigilantly, "What do you want to do?" "After all, Cao Yan has just offended a group of bandits, and he is afraid that someone will come to take revenge, and everyone is quite dedicated to Cao Yan's protection.
The person who came looked a little nervous, and when he saw the posture in front of him, he hurriedly took a few steps back and was a little resigned, indicating that he was not in danger, and then bowed to Cao Yan from a distance and said, "We want to ask, does Mr. Fuhu need food?" We have some food to sell! ”
Cao Yan took the bowl, stood up, rubbed his head, a little annoyed, why didn't he think of this ring when he eats every day, if he collects their food at a higher price than the market, then how many people will give themselves good people? After all, there are only so many people who come to their restaurant to eat every day, so how long do good people have to earn to light up their skills?
Cao Yan patted Lin Xiaoyang, who was blocking in front of him, asked him to give himself a place, and asked, "What is the purchase price of grain now?" ”
Several people who spoke before looked at each other, and then one of them gritted his teeth and replied: "Rice is harvested from 150 Wen to 200 Wen a stone." "They didn't think about telling a lie, after all, they can know this matter as long as they ask, if they say a lie, then they have offended the immortals, I'm afraid they will be retributed, right?
"Oh." Cao Yan remembered that when he entered the city before, he wanted to buy grain, as if he wanted two runs through one stone, but this is rice, at this time, the rice yield of hulling technology is about 45%, and the modern technology is about 75%, and he copies the technology in the system, so not to mention 75%, at least 60% is there, that is to say, 2 stone rice has at least one stone of grain, that is, two runs, and those chaffs and the like can be fed to livestock, which is not a waste.
Thinking about it this way, then as long as your price is lower than consistent, you will not lose, of course, if you count manpower, loss and so on, it should be in seven or eight hundred, and you can protect your capital.
But now I only have about 600,000 yuan, which is more than 500,000 yuan won by gambling before, and then I copied the home of Jiulongzhai and sold military merits, and made more than 200,000 yuan, but recently I have spent a bit of a lot of money, bought a lot of things, and used more than 100,000 yuan.
Then if you collect it yourself, the price is too high, and your money is estimated to collapse, and you have to take into account the thoughts of the people in the village, after all, you can't always do loss-making business, you can't do too much of this, and you are afraid that your own people will complain.
Cao Yan asked again: "Then how much do you usually sell for a stone?" ”
When everyone saw Cao Yan suddenly ask, there was a burst of ecstasy in their hearts, which showed that he was not ready to buy his own grain at the usual price, so he hurriedly spoke: "Don't dare to hide it from Mr., usually 350 to 400 Wen." ”
"Well, how much do you want to sell it for?" Cao Yan thought carefully for a while, and then asked again.
But this said to the crowd asked, they looked at each other [biqugex], no one opened their mouths for a long time, this number did not dare to talk casually, open more and less problems, spread out for fear that they would be drowned by everyone's spittle.
After waiting for a long time, no one spoke, and the people around him became more and more crowded.
What Cao Yan said to them was spread by some people who came before, and everyone knew what was going on.
Seeing Cao Yan asking how much their rice wanted to sell, although these people were also anxious, no one dared to speak, and everyone's worries were the same.
"Alas-" Cao Yan sighed, he also knew these people, and he didn't expect them to speak, it was estimated that no one wanted to take that responsibility.
But Cao Yan's sighing voice fell on the ears of the people around him, which made them all anxious.
"Sir, my rice is willing to be sold for 300 Wen."
"Sir, my family's willingness is 290 Wen ......"
"Sir, my family's willingness is 280 ......"
"Mr. ......"
When Cao Yan heard this, he was moved but also a little helpless, moved because they would call themselves Mr. before speaking, and they were helpless because they were pressing their own prices.
Cao Yan shook his head with a hint of distress.
But this action made everyone more anxious, "Sir, my family's willingness is 220 Wen." ”
This...... Cao Yan was afraid that if he didn't open his mouth again, the price would be overwhelmed by them by 210 Wen.
Cao Yan hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop everyone from continuing to lower the price, and said, "That's it, you know the Zhuangzi I have in the east of the city, right?" ”
Some people around nodded, others shook their heads.
Cao Yan didn't explain this, and if he didn't know later, he would ask those who knew, "Starting tomorrow, if you need to sell rice, pick up the grain to my Zhuangzi, and I will pay 500 wen and one stone to harvest." ”
"Five hundred wen?"
"Five hundred wen? Did I hear me right? That's more than the usual price! ”
"Is it five hundred wen, sir? Did we hear you right? "Apparently there are still people around who can't believe it.
Cao Yan nodded.
"Ah......h
"Haha......"
"Hurry back and pick up food to ......."
"Hurry up and ......"
For a while, the entire East Gate was filled with cheers, and then the news quickly spread to the entire Jiangning Mansion.
