"Dongzi, when will the next batch of vegetables arrive? It's so easy to sell, so hurry up. ”

Early in the morning, as soon as Li Dong took a sip of porridge, Lu Xiumei was urging in her ear. Li Dong simply put down the porridge and said his plan.

"Auntie, I think the store should rest for a few days, there are no vegetables for the time being. You take Grandma and them out for a walk, relax, and I happen to be going back. ”

"Alas, my mother plans to take the opportunity to sell more, it seems to be a fool's dream." Lu Xiumei was suddenly lost.

"A-Niang, no one in this place can compete with us, don't worry, I'll have the goods when I come back." Li Dong explained.

"That's the only way, by the way, I bought new clothes for Li Bing and the others, and you can bring them back with you." These clothes were bought by Lu Xiumei two days ago, although they are all expired unsalable, but the quality is not bad, the key is cheap.

After breakfast, I said hello to my grandfather, and Li Dong went out with his suitcase. The first stop is the Grand Department Store, where he needs to buy wheat seeds. There are still more than 100 acres of vacant land in the space, and Li Dong plans to plant all of them with wheat.

"Mr. Li, I have two varieties here, Huanong 11 and Huanong 12, one is drought resistant and the other is high yield. Not sure which one you want? The owner of the shop introduced.

"Huanong No. 12, it needs about 100 acres." Li Dong replied that there is no shortage of water in the space at all, and of course choose high-yield varieties.

"That's okay, the production capacity of Huanong No. 12 mu has reached 1,800 catties, so the amount of seeds is relatively large, 40 catties per mu, and a total of two tons per 100 mu."

"Then two tons, what about the price?"

"A ton is 4,500 yuan, of course, you buy a large amount, we give you a discount of 1,000 yuan, you pay 8,000 yuan." It is rare to meet such a big customer, and the owner of the store quoted a fairly affordable price.

"Then let's do it, I'll add another 2,000 yuan, make up a whole number, and you can give me 2.5 tons of seeds." Li Dong plans to buy more, and the space is expanding all the time, and the more the better.

"Deal."

After buying the seeds, Li Dong made his second stop to a rural village in the suburbs. A few days ago, he asked someone to inquire about the news of the livestock cubs, and finally got a reply, and there happened to be a batch of lambs and calves for sale in Liangjiahe Village.

"Village Chief, why do you want to sell these cubs in your village?" Li Dong asked curiously, he looked at the cub, and there was nothing wrong.

"It's all fate, there is a spring on the mountain behind our village, which has been flowing for many years. The whole village used this spring water to grow pasture grass and developed a breeding industry, which is also well-known in this vicinity.

However, in the past two years, the spring water has become less and less, and last month it was completely cut off. Everyone persisted for a month, but they couldn't hold on anymore, and they had to sell if they didn't sell. "What the village chief said was a little tragic.

"Village chief, don't worry, the spring will definitely return to normal in the future." Li Dong can only be comforted like this.

"Forget it, Boss Li, do you want these cubs? I can give you a discount. ”

The village chief took a puff of his cigarette, his eyes full of longing. Recently, many people have come to see it, but unfortunately the price is too much.

"What about the exact price?" Li Dong did not answer directly, which is a negotiation technique.

"There are 25 lambs and 6 calves here, and we sell them by the rule, 500 lambs and 1,500 calves."

"It's too expensive. Village chief, if it's all-inclusive, can I get a discount? Li Dong is still very eager to take down these cubs, so that the ranch can be regarded as laying a solid foundation.

"One price, 20,000 yuan, this is the lowest price, if not, please go back." The village chief gritted his teeth and quoted a whole number, which was already the reserve price in his heart.

Li Dong pretended to think about it for a while, nodded and agreed. After paying, Li Dong asked the village chief to drive all the cubs to the side of the road, and then sent everyone away. After looking around, in less than five minutes, it was all in the space.

There was no fence in the space, and he was afraid that the cubs would eat vegetables indiscriminately, so Li Dong could only tie them together first. Then he cut a large pile of grass and put it aside, but fortunately the cubs ate less.

At night, Li Dong took the train back to Ping'an City, and it was difficult to sit in a hard seat when he got used to sleeping in a sleeper. The road was very smooth, Li Dong slept all the way until dawn, full of energy and no fatigue.

He didn't go home directly, there was definitely no one at home, so he went to Xia Li's father's recycling station. After a few days, there were a lot of broken copper and iron piled up in the warehouse.

Li Dang asked his family about the new store, and Li Dong answered one by one, saying that everything was fine. At noon, they went home together for lunch, and in the afternoon, Li Dong went to the warehouse in Tanggou Town, transferred nearly 2,000 catties of vegetables from the space, and purchased 2,000 catties of vegetables from Xiahe Village the next day.

All the vegetables were transported back to the city, and the old store was divided into 1,500 catties, and the new store was divided into 2,500 catties. Li Dong looked at the account books of the two shops by the way, which was not bad, and basically maintained a normal level.

This time, Li Dong stayed at home for three days, and he didn't do anything else, and focused on cultivating the fields. The efficiency of the walk-behind tractor is about two acres of land per hour, and Li Dong worked day and night for three days, and finally reclaimed all the vacant land.

Returning to the capital again, Li Dong immediately transported vegetables for the store, about 3,000 catties, mainly because the corn was almost finished, and the yield was not as good as before. The sales situation is still hot, and all of them were sold out in less than a day, so they had to close down again.

For the next period of time, Li Dong lived a life of running at both ends, going back and forth at least once a week. The vegetables in the space have begun to be in short supply, and Li Dong deliberately reduced the supply of two shops in his hometown, basically 60% of the supply depends on the supply of Xiahe Village.

The biggest result is still the more than 100 acres of wheat fields, all of which have been planted with wheat and are growing well. In order to facilitate irrigation, Li Dong also specially excavated more than a dozen water canals to fully ensure the growing conditions of wheat seedlings.

During this period, Team Leader Zhou also came to Li Dong once, to the effect that he should increase the supply of vegetables, and that he could not fish for three days and dry nets for two days, and the neighborhood committee had received many complaints and complaints from residents.

In this regard, Li Dong could only smile bitterly, he had really done his best. In the end, there was no way, in order to fulfill the requirements of the neighborhood committee, Li Dong had to follow the practice in Ping'an City and find a real supplier, and he couldn't pay much money anyway, so he should pay protection money.

Of course, the benefits of doing so are not without it, at least he has been unanimously recognized by the neighborhood committee and ordinary residents, and he has finally gained a firm foothold in the Yangming community.

In addition, in order to subsidize Li Dong's losses, the neighborhood committee also rented to him an idle warehouse in the community for free for five years. In this way, the loss on the books is basically wiped out.

With the warehouse, it is much more convenient for Li Dong to transfer goods from space. In order to improve profits, he deliberately added four new rows of shelves to the store. On it is the daily necessities he "smuggled" from the city, which are also very popular because of their low prices.

In this way, Carrefour began to transform from a simple vegetable store to a supermarket focusing on agricultural products. This not only greatly increases the utilization rate of the store, but also makes a good profit, which is equivalent to almost one-third of the profit of vegetables.
