Chapter 10, the purchase method of urban management

The black belly is the pass of the black belly, and purity is the epitaph of the pure.

This has always been the principle of life of Master Ma Tong, the undisciplined senior sister...... Well, except for some big right and wrong questions.

No matter how unhappy he was with the shipment of ceramics, canned drinks, and plastic slippers, he had no choice but to hold his nose and accept them in a strong seller's market, and pay for a small, irregularly shaped nugget of gold.

-- For people in the 16th century, no amount of gold could buy what they were looking for.

And Wen Desi's wife, the Indian princess Maca, also took advantage of her husband's lack of attention, and quietly exchanged one of her gold bracelets for the purple crystal glass bracelet on Ma Tong's wrist - this crystal clear gadget was produced by Wen Desi's previous work unit, the glass products company that made crystal skulls, and the factory price was only 40 yuan a string!

In this way, one in and one out, Senior Sister Ma Tong is equivalent to making more than 100 times the profit......

After the incident, in order to prevent Wen Desi, a crucial collaborator, from becoming overly agitated because of the big loss in the transaction, Wang Qiu and Professor Yang had to come over to finish the money when they tried to persuade Ma Tong to refund the money to no avail, and took out a bunch of bits and bits from his body and handed them to Wen Desi as an add-on: Professor Yang contributed his own lighter, magnifying glass, embroidered handkerchief, and the "Ancient History of Mexico"; Wang Qiu took out the quartz electronic watch on his wrist, the small scissors on the keychain, the two packs of napkins in his pocket, and the remaining boxes of cool oil.

At the same time, they also solemnly promised Wen Deji that they would bring the steel products he needed next time!

-- Everyone still understands the reason why rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest.

Then, with a feeling of dizziness that was already somewhat familiar, the four of them returned to the small warehouse in the backyard of Senior Sister Ma Tong's house. Then, together they went to the living room and looked at the clock on the wall, and found that less than half an hour had passed.

“…… All right! The first transaction was made with ease! This shows that our industry still has a future! ”

Senior Sister Ma Tong held the small gold nugget in one hand and the rough but weighty gold bracelet in the other, and excitedly tossed them between her left and right hands, watching them glow in a blurry color in the sun.

Looking at this glittering gold, Wang Qiu's eyes couldn't help but produce a trace of intoxication and a trace of greed.

Since ancient times, gold has been able to give people an invisible liliang, a powerful liliang born of greed.

This kind of liliang can prompt people to summon all the courage to break through any difficulties and obstacles and do all kinds of amazing things.

It was this thirst for gold that led to the Spanish overcoming difficulties and conquering the vast American continent; It is precisely this kind of liliang that allowed Europeans at the end of the Middle Ages to ignore the mortality rate of up to 50%~90%, bravely drive a simple and backward boat, rush to the unknown waves, cross one strange ocean after another, and create their own era of discovery.

(Note: In the early days of the Age of Discovery, due to the backward conditions of Jishu, the mortality rate of European seafarers was alarmingly high.) Storms, landmarks, trekking, plagues, scurvy, piracy, and conflicts with natives will all cause them to die silently in distant lands.

For example, the one who rounded the Cape of Good Hope and discovered India. Gamma, whose voyage had been largely smooth sailing, was even called lucky by his fellow navigators, but half of the Portuguese crew still died of scurvy. Magellan's circumnavigation of the world was even more miserable, with more than 200 crew members at the time of departure leaving only 18 dying sick numbers when they returned to Europe, and even Magellan himself died in the Philippines...,

According to statistics in Portugal, in the early 16th century, about 2,600 people traveled from Lisbon to India each year, and on average only one in ten made it back to Portugal alive. A terrible proverb of the time expressed the horror of the time: "Not one out of a hundred will come back to India." ”

Therefore, the wealth and pride of the Age of Discovery were all built on the bones of Europeans. Other peoples, who lacked this spirit of sacrifice, were gradually driven out of this arena and arena that belonged only to the brave. )

And it is also out of the desire for money that millions of Chinese can abandon their attachment to their homeland in the 21st century, burst out of infinite courage from the bottom of their hearts, and bravely go to Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, and Russia in turbulent times with their own cheap small commodities and construction engineering teams.

“…… Perhaps, now it's our turn to work hard and create a new era of great time-travel! ”

Looking at the gold glittering under the scorching sun, Wang Qiu couldn't help but think so.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Now that the first payment has been received, the next step is to buy the goods.

According to Wang Qiu's idea, since Wen Desi wanted steel knives, he would just sell the gold and buy it in a small hardware store.

However, although the little bit of gold that I got from there seems to be very dazzling, in fact, if it is really exchanged for RMB, I am afraid that there is not much. Even if you spend all this money, it is estimated that you can buy one or two thousand fruit knives and kitchen knives, and you will almost run out.

Therefore, Wang Qiu discussed with Ma Tong whether we should advance a sum of money for the purchase of goods first-anyway, in the thatched hut of Senior Wen Desi, they saw a box full of small gold nuggets and small silver ingots. And there are several gold and silver bracelets worn by the Indian wife of Wen Dehe, and there should be no problem of purchasing power.

-- If we follow the thinking of those European robbers in the Age of Discovery, we would have turned around and robbed them in such a situation.

But after all, Wang Qiu and the others are not the kind of lawless scum and miscellaneous people, but modern young people with morals and ideals, so they have never developed that kind of criminal consciousness. In addition, Senior Wen Desi is also an acquaintance that everyone knows, and he really can't pull down this face.

What's more, the space-time channel exists because of Wen Desi, if you want to do business, you can't offend anyone who offends him!

Regarding the issue of advance money for the purchase of goods, Ma Tong agreed with Wang Qiu's opinion in principle, but the problem is that she does not have much cash around her, and the bank deposit is even more zero. Her parents may have some liquidity, but they really don't know how to ask her father for money when they need to keep it secret.

And Wang Qiu, who is still in college, is even more sad in terms of finance, his living expenses are all put into the bank card by his mother at the beginning of each month, and now it is July 31, and there is only less than 300 yuan left when he is full...... The cost of doing business is really not enough!

As for Captain Cai Rong...... Don't count on it, which Lori in the world is full of money?

No matter how noble and cute those Lolitas look like they are, or they are confused, or natural, or full of vitality, most of the Lolias don't have to work hard to sell cuteness with tears in their eyes, begging all the weirdos to take out their wallets and buy them lollipops, dolls and ice cream?

However, just as the two of them were in a hurry to raise money for the goods, Professor Yang, who was the political commissar, suddenly intervened and said that there was no need to be so troublesome on this issue.

“…… Such a small amount of gold should not be used to buy hardware products. Comrade Ma Tong, you and Comrade Cai Rong go together to cash out the gold, and then go shopping according to the list I just sorted out. Xiao Wang, you come with me and go to pull the goods together! ”…,

I saw that he first stuffed Ma Tong with a small note full of words, and then sat in the driver's seat of the Toyota pickup truck and beckoned to Wang Qiu.

“…… Pulling goods? Wang Qiu felt a little confused, "...... Where to pull the goods? Aren't we out of money? Could it be ...... You are coming to make an advance? ”

“…… Hehe, you don't need money at all, just have this! Professor Yang took out a very old-fashioned briefcase from the cab of his Toyota pickup truck, and found a red-headed document and two Chinese brand cigarettes in the bag, and shook it in front of everyone with a slight meaning.

But before Wang Qiu could read the title of the document clearly, he took the briefcase and the contents back.

“…… Alright, boy, get in the car, I'll have to work hard for you to move things later! Professor Yang dragged Wang Qiu into the passenger seat, then honked the horn and started the car...... Now, come with me to eat big food! ”

Next, Wang Qiu saw with his own eyes that Comrade Yang Wenli, political commissar, relied on this red-headed official document that was opened out of nowhere and an approval slip that was also obtained from nowhere, just drove a small pickup truck to the city's public security bureau for a turn, and then returned happily.

-- Some time ago, the city's public security organs carried out a vigorous crackdown campaign, and all kinds of controlled knives confiscated from the hands of gangsters of all stripes were piled up like a mountain for a while, including iron rulers, switchblades, daggers, and three-edged thorns. There were also sharpened Japanese swords, Tibetan knives and Longquan swords, as well as a few oddly shaped homemade powder guns, which are now piled up in the warehouse rusty.

So, Professor Yang didn't even spend a penny, but just took out the official documents and approval slips and shook them in front of several relevant leaders, and stuffed a few packs of cigarettes into the police in charge of the warehouse, and pulled away all the murder weapons.

Then, they returned to the building of the chengguan team, continued to open the road with the approval slips and cigarettes, and opened one after another dusty warehouses, which were full of all kinds of items confiscated by the city's chengguan from street vendors -- iron pots, briquette stoves, kerosene stoves, barbecue grills, tricycles, trolleys, small mirrors, small scissors, small jewelry, toothpaste and toothbrushes, washing powder, lighters, sewing needles, T-shirts, beach pants, hot water bottles, kitchen knives, fruit knives, small hardware, small household appliances, bottled drinks, ......

In short, from clothes to cosmetics, from snacks to toilet paper, from jewelry to toys, all kinds of daily necessities, as long as you can think of and use, you can find them all here, which makes people dazzled for a while.

Wang Qiu even turned out a few large pieces of moldy Xinjiang cut cakes in a pile of broken cardboard boxes, and he didn't know how long he had been left here.

With the exception of small appliances that require electricity and spoiled food that cannot be eaten, everything else seems to be a commodity for space-time trade.

As a result, Professor Yang's small pickup truck ran back and forth seven or eight times, and two chengguan team members were mobilized to act as porters, so that some of the lighter gadgets were pulled into the yard of Ma Tong's house, piled up as high as a hill, which made Ma Tong, Wang Qiu and Cai Rong all stunned.

“…… Tsk, the people in the system have really unusual methods! So many things for nothing, it's enough to open a supermarket! ”

Looking at the various groceries piled up in the yard, Senior Sister Ma Tong sighed jealously for a while.

“…… It's just a temporary call, and when the time comes, a sum of money will have to be sent into their accounts, and other communication work will not be missing. ”

Professor Yang touched his chin and said lightly, "...... However, these official communication matters are handled by our office director who can't even say his name, and we just need to remember to hand over a part of the profits in the future. Well, next time, why don't you go to the health supervision office again! I heard that a lot of unhygienic food has been confiscated from several black-hearted food factories on the outskirts of the city recently, and this time it happened to dump all of them into Mexico......"...,

Hey, Professor, why did you become so undisciplined? I don't think of Senior Wendeji as a waste disposal station?

Wang Qiu couldn't help but roll his eyes, complaining in his heart.

“…… Ahem, Xiao Wang and I have already brought all the goods here, are things going well on your side? How much did gold sell for? ”

Professor Yang coughed lightly a few times and asked Ma Tong with a pleasant face.

“…… Well, the gold nuggets and gold bracelets have been sold in the gold shop owned by my cousin, with a total weight of about 150 grams, but because the gold is very bad and there are too many impurities, it was only sold for a little more than 30,000 yuan. ”

Senior Sister Ma Tong replied, and then pointed to an electric tricycle parked in the corner of the yard, with a number of cardboard boxes and plastic bags piled on it, "...... Well, according to the purchase order issued by the political commissar, all kinds of vegetable seeds, fertilizers, high-yielding corn seeds, as well as 200 packets of sugar, 400 packets of iodized salt, two large boxes of condiments, and all the snacks and snacks that I can collect at home are all here! ”

“…… Well, the things I bought are not bad, but the gold seems to be sold at a cheap price, so I'll take it to the bank to exchange it next time! I'm a bit of a network over there. Professor Yang nodded, and then turned his gaze to Wang Qiu, "...... Ahem, Comrade Xiao Wang, it's time to work hard for you now, and immediately teleport all these things to the other side of the wormhole! ”

…… Belch? Am I all alone? So much stuff...... This...... That's a lot of tons!

Looking at the mountains of goods in the yard, Wang Qiu, as the only porter, was suddenly covered in cold sweat and felt that he was under a lot of pressure......
