Chapter 7: Like a Profiteer
Xu Promise's father is a primary school Chinese teacher, and his mother has been a farmer before, and she can't earn a few dollars a year, and in order to help him raise tuition fees in recent years, she has also collected medicinal herbs in nearby counties.
No matter how exciting the promises are and how fanciful the words are, they have their own simple and firm judgments based on life experience and the information they have learned.
And they are convinced that they are right.
They don't know the market, but they just don't believe that this thing will be bought at a good price in big cities, and they don't believe that there will be such a big market demand.
Xu Tianming groaned: "Although the vegetable water business has a small capital, the competition is too fierce, it is not so easy to do, and the profits are thin and laborious, and you will lose money if you are not careful...... Only by doing it for a long time can you slowly find some ways, or make some money by making trouble by shortages of pounds and two...... Hey ......"
He doesn't understand this market, but his family often buys vegetables, and compared with the situation in the vegetable market, he subconsciously feels that it is not a good business.
As for the trick of the last joke, he couldn't do it, and he didn't think that he could do it.
Yang Minghua even smiled: "The things you said about Mai Ping'er, spicy cabbage, gray warp, and wild leeks are everywhere in us, but usually the farmers are too lazy to eat, and they are generally stamped to feed the pigs." Even now feeding pigs is a special feed, if it is as easy to make money as you said, where can I spend so much effort and drive to Linxian County to collect medicinal herbs...... The people in the city have a high standard of living, and they often eat a lot of fish and meat, so it's impossible to eat these things......"
Apparently they don't believe much in the promises.
At the same time, they were all a little depressed.
They have long understood the sadness of the small business, and the reason why they worked so hard to promise to study was so that he would not do these things in the future.
Finally, he was admitted to the university, and he studied a law major that sounded high-sounding, isn't it good to be a civil servant or a lawyer in the future, who thinks why he will run home to do these things.
The parents' reaction was expected.
At this moment, he regards his parents as angel investors who start a business.
He knew what could impress them.
Even if he can't be impressed by his words, if he insists on doing it, they will still support it, even if he goes bankrupt.
After all, he is their weakness, the only weakness that is permanently fixed.
Xu Promise stood up, his eyes were firm, his tone was sincere, and he made gestures and said endlessly:
"You may not know much about the situation in the big cities. With the improvement of income and living standards, many people in addition to nutrition, began to pay attention to the quality of life, these wild vegetables we look ordinary, but in the eyes of some city people, they are organic food that absorbs the aura of heaven and earth, green food.
Sometimes it's not about money at all, it's about how many people can afford it. These things are all at a high price right now, and they are in short supply.
Secondly, if these things are collected by us, the cost is still quite low, such as the ordinary wild vegetables such as Mai Pinger and Gray Qiao, which are treated as garbage by every household, and they are given five cents or one dollar per catty, and there must be a lot of people who are willing to dig it up and buy it.
Aren't there high-quality wild vegetables such as Wuzuodian, Mulengtou, and bracken? The purchase price of these things will have to be higher, five dollars.
There are also some wild fruits, such as wild apricots, wood crown crowns, hairy peaches, etc., and even if you are lucky, you may even have cordyceps...... It's sometimes difficult to sell this thing on our side, but big cities have already speculated to a very high price, and there are tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars per catty.
Also, the reason why I do this, in addition to making money, is to get in touch with the society in advance......"
As for what aura is revived, in order not to shock his parents, he naturally won't mention it in the slightest.
Seeing Xu Yu talking endlessly, his eyes were shining, Xu Tianming and Yang Minghua were stunned when they heard it.
They found that this meeting, the promise seems to have changed a lot, not only is it more tall and handsome, but also speaks in a set of sets, which is unique and convincing, and it seems that they have done a lot of homework before coming, and they have a much better understanding of the market than they imagined.
In fact, what moved them more than what he said was his enthusiasm and indomitable momentum, which made them can't help but give full support, and they can't bear to make him sad, disappointed, and lost.
What particularly touched them was the promise to get in touch with society in advance.
"Even if he loses, it's really a good idea to let him get in touch with the society in advance......"
"Dad, what do you think?" Yang Minghua asked.
For some major decisions, she still relies more on her husband's opinion.
Xu Tianming groaned: "Then try it......"
Then he decided to take out the 20,000 yuan he had saved over the years as capital.
As for the tuition fee, because he was the first student to be admitted to Beijing University since the resumption of the college entrance examination in their county, the county applied for some subsidies and state funding for him, which means that he can finish four years of college without paying out of his own pocket, plus he also applied for a student loan of 20,000 yuan, he has always been thrifty, and there is no problem after finishing college.
After eating, Xu Tianming first asked the school for a leave, and Yang Minghua asked Xu to go to the big room to rest, and they planned to clean up and start to act.
For a long time, the promise of being at home was simply an imperial treatment, except for studying hard, there was no need to do housework.
Where he lived, his parents crowded the small room and gave up the big house for him to live in.
When he is away, he also reserves it, cleans it every day, and the bedding is also dried after a while, ensuring that he can live comfortably in it at any time.
In short, he left the best for him.
As for better conditions, it's not that they are reluctant, but that they really don't.
However, Xu refused the promise, went to the bank with Xu Tianming, withdrew a few thousand yuan, and exchanged it for change.
Then he went to the market management office and planned to rent a plot of land at the farmer's market to use as a place to put wild vegetables.
said that it was rented, in fact, the farmers' market did not have this business, and even when it was time to catch the market, there were large areas of vacant space, and they were promised that they didn't need a good location, even the most remote place didn't matter, and the people from the market management office knew Xu Tianming, so they directly let them use it for free.
The farmer's market is right on their doorstep, and the transportation is very convenient.
After Xu Tianming stuffed two cigarettes for the managers, they even enthusiastically helped find a suitable location.
Yang Minghua began to mobilize her neighbors and sell her wild vegetables to them.
Yang Minghua is very popular among the neighbors, especially a group of middle-aged women trust her very much, and she also worked as a substitute teacher when she was young, which is relatively educated, and she has cultivated college students like Xu Nuo, which has invisibly increased some prestige.
Not long after, more than a dozen people brought their own wild vegetables.
A bag of forty or fifty catties of wild vegetables can buy twenty or thirty yuan, which is a lot of income for rural women at this time.
At the same time, they remembered Yang Minghua's entrustment, told their relatives and friends about their experience of buying vegetables, and mobilized them to join in.
And then this is repeated over and over again, one to ten, ten to hundred.
This kind of virality is also an idea that Xu Promise came up with.
Driven by visible benefits, the speed of transmission was also quite terrifying, and by the evening, nearly a hundred people had already sold wild vegetables to them.
All kinds of wild fruits and wild vegetables have reached 10,000 catties, which are stacked in a corner of the vegetable market.
And they have probably spent nearly 10,000 yuan on the acquisition.
The price of ordinary wild vegetables is five cents, but there are more expensive wild fruits, as well as expensive and high-quality wild vegetables such as Wuzuodian, Mulentou, and bracken, which increase the average price.
As for Cordyceps or something, I didn't touch it.
This thing is not so easy to come across, and it is only produced in small quantities in the mountains with a cold climate farther away.
Nearly half of the deposit was spent, and it was exchanged for a bunch of useless wild vegetables and fruits.
Although it was getting late, there was still a steady stream of people bringing things.
Seeing this, Xu Tianming and Yang Minghua felt a little drumming in their hearts.
The old god took out a spray on the ground, filled it with water, and began to sprinkle water on the wild vegetables.
Tomorrow morning, they will be pulled to the provincial capital to be sold, sprinkled with water, and absorbed by the vigorous wild vegetables and wild fruits, which can ensure that they will look fresh for several days, and will not wilt.
Of course, 10,000 catties of wild vegetables and fruits, not to mention adding a hundred catties of water, will be a lot more than two catties, and they will be sold for money.
The two couples didn't react for a while, and when they asked, they couldn't help laughing.
"The stinky boy looks like a human being, how does he look like a profiteer......"
Yang Minghua stretched out her hand and nudged it on Xu Yue's head, and said with a smile.
In the hurry, they didn't even think of such a simple handling measure.
Thinking of the series of expressions of promise, their faith suddenly increased.
At the same time, a thought popped up in their hearts: "Could it be that Jingda is really so godly, after a year of study, even learned these things?" ”
"Maybe it's really possible to sell them, lose less, draw, or make less money......"
In their opinion, don't rot in your hands, it's already good.
As for making a lot of money from it, it's like pie in the sky.
Although his son is excellent, he is definitely not good at business, and he is not a god.
