Chapter 69: How Many You Want
Yao Weimin got on the train, and after another day and a night of trekking, he entered the boundary of Guangdong.
In the first ten days, he accelerated the procurement schedule in other cities, set the last stop in Guangzhou, and arrived here two days earlier than originally planned.
Feeling the warm and humid climate, Yao Weimin took a bus through the city.
Seeing the sculpture of the five sheep and also seeing the Oi Kwan Building, the city is full of vitality and deeply infects everyone who comes here.
Yao Weimin was busy with procurement work for two or three days, and after basically having an eyebrow, he took a bus to the suburbs.
There are more and more banana plantations on both sides of the road, and through the bus window, you can see that the trees are full of unpicked bananas, and there are even banana trees planted on the side of the road.
After getting out of the car, he bought a bowl of herbal tea on the side of the road and accosted a local man who was resting next to him.
"Hello comrade, I would like to ask you if you have so many bananas like this, and in the end they are all sold to the local purchasing station?"
"Well, they can't digest so much, they usually ship it to Hong Kong Island and sell it to people in the city, and the rest of it can only rot in the end."
The middle-aged man explained in broken Mandarin.
Yao Weimin's heart moved when he heard this, handed the man a cigarette roll, and said with a smile: "It's a pity that such a good banana is rotten, and no one comes to you to buy it at a low price?" ”
"Yes, people from nearby provinces often come, but you also know that this thing is troublesome to transport, and it is not allowed on the surface, it is all a sneaky fight, and it can't be collected at all."
The man lit a cigarette and whispered without hesitation.
"Come, serve this friend a bowl of herbal tea, I'll please!"
Yao Weimin beckoned inside, and then asked:
"Brother, I want to ask, do you know the price at which they come to collect bananas?"
"This is not necessarily, it depends on the quality of the banana fruit, which is about eight cents to a dime."
The man said, shaking his head.
Yao Weimin took a sip of herbal tea, looked up at the banana orchards in the distance, and couldn't help but smile lightly.
The local good-quality bananas are only a dime a catty, and the pigeon market on the side of Sijiu City has already sold for more than two yuan a catty.
There is at least a nine-cent price difference in between!
As for the transportation that occupies the largest cost, Yao Weimin doesn't have to bother at all, and the mysterious space on his body can be perfectly solved.
I have done experiments before, because of the spiritual spring water in the space, vegetables and fruits will hardly rot and deteriorate when placed in it, and living creatures will feel hungry because of calorie consumption, but vegetables and fruits can play an extremely long-lasting role in freshness.
Yao Weimin's current money is nearly 8,500 yuan, most of which is spent by Li, and he himself only has less than 15,000 yuan.
According to the calculation of one dime and one catty, it is enough to transport back more than 80,000 catties of bananas.
In the agreement with Hua Li, all of them were sold, and each person could earn about 40,000 yuan.
And the cost price he agreed with Hua Li is one dollar and one catty, which is the normal price, so the nine cents saved by using space transportation has become Yao Weimin's additional income.
Added up to the two sides, he probably calculated it, okay, easily exceeded 100,000 yuan!
But there is a very serious problem in this, that is, if 80,000 catties of bananas are transported back, those pigeon markets in Sijiu City alone may not be able to eat, and the scope of sales must be expanded, such as Tianjin Wei, such as some provinces in Hebei, and even the north of Shanhaiguan must be developed.
All in all, it's going to be a big project, and I'll have to think about it when I get back.
Then Yao Weimin chatted with the man for a while, and learned that to buy bananas, he needed to go to their village chief.
After drinking the herbal tea, he followed the man to the village chief's house.
As soon as they entered the door, the two locals first spoke the local dialect, and then the village chief smiled and invited Yao Weimin into the house.
The village chief was a man in his fifties named Chen Shuisheng, who spoke slightly better Mandarin than the one who led the way.
After he had taken the man who had led the way, he began to inquire.
"Huh...... You're here at the right time, let's say, how many pounds will it cost? ”
Chen Shuisheng asked enthusiastically while making tea.
"Brother, I want to know if we buy bananas here, do you care about the purchasing station?"
Yao Weimin needs to understand the local system first.
"Anyway, it doesn't matter." Chen Shuisheng put down the teapot and took the cigarette roll handed by Yao Weimin, "However, so many bananas are rotten to the ground, what are we going to eat, the actual situation is here, and the comrades at the procurement station can't do anything, right?" ”
"Again, part of our bananas are going to be shipped to Hong Kong Island, there is an approval document in the station, allowing each village to collect the bananas in batches, carefully selected, waiting to be loaded and shipped away, like you who buy bananas privately, generally pick the rest of the ones, after all, rotten is rotten, you transport it but saves us trouble, why not? Haha......"
"And what if I take more?" Yao Weimin put away his smile, looked at Chen Shuisheng seriously and asked.
"Many? How much can there be? I won't tell you, in our village, we can make up 10,000 catties for you, it's not enough, haha......"
"Not enough."
"Ugh!"
Yao Weimin's words made Chen Shuisheng's action of drinking tea stop, and his expression was a little stunned, "Then how much do you want?" ”
"How much do you want, I want as much as I want, estimate tens of thousands of catties, if it's not enough, I may have to trouble you to go to other villages to help me Zhang Luo, money is not a problem!"
Since the control of bananas here is not as strict as imagined, Yao Weimin simply did not beat around the bush and said frankly.
"Shhh...... You're not the boss from Hong Kong Island, right? ”
Chen Shuisheng's expression was stunned, and there was a hint of awe in his eyes.
"This doesn't matter, do you have a way to get me more freshly picked bananas, green skins, not ripe ones, give you four days, I have spot cash here."
Yao Weimin put down the teacup and said seriously.
"Well, I can't reply to you now, you want so much at once, and there is no approval above, this matter is not very easy to do."
Chen Shuisheng shook his head, although he looked frowning and thinking, Yao Weimin noticed the look of ecstasy in the depths of his eyes.
Obviously, I want to ask for more prices!
"The price is easy to say!"
Yao Weimin added in due course.
"One dime, two pounds, I can try!" Chen Shuisheng immediately responded when he heard this, looking delighted.
"Deal!"
Yao Weimin groaned slightly, nodded and agreed.
Although it was two cents more expensive than the purchase price he learned, Yao Weimin felt that it was worth the money.
One is that the quantity he needs is large, and an extra two cents can save a lot of unnecessary trouble, and the other is basically negligible compared to the profit he can earn.
"Okay, then let's make a decision!" Chen Shuisheng stood up excitedly, his breathing was a little short.
