Chapter 133: The God of Wealth arrives
After Yao Weimin confirmed that it was correct, he left the guest house with the letter written by Cui Yuangang to Sun Xiang.
It took him more than half an hour to find the post office that these people had agreed upon, buy envelopes and stamps, make special marks on the stationery, and send them out.
He also wrote down the address of the mail, it was not the Xinqiao Hotel, nor the Coal Market Street, but it was sent to an ordinary courtyard in Sijiu City.
After doing this, Yao Weimin deliberately went to Wu Yunping's community to take a look around, and found that the doors and windows of the house where Wu Yunping and his wife lived were locked, as if no one had lived in it for a while.
He guessed that Wu Yunping and his wife should have gone abroad.
Yao Weimin put away his thoughts, and after leaving the community, he went straight to the city chemical plant with his work bag on his shoulder.
In the next three days, he traveled to many places on the supply of fertilizer in the spring, in addition to contacting the leaders in charge of the chemical plant to confirm the quantity and supply cycle, he also had to go to various departments to contact transportation and transfer payments, and even participated in the discussion of fertilizer quality and packaging.
In the end, after determining the delivery time with the fertilizer supply stations in the countryside of Sijiu City, the work in Shanghai finally came to an end.
On the fourth day, Yao Weimin gave himself a half-day off to rest, and in the evening, he got on the train again and went to several cities in the south to complete the second task assigned by Xiao Hongying.
It was more than ten days of tiring travel, and almost all of the cooperation plans for fruit procurement in the station were communicated and negotiated with the local brother departments, and then, Yao Weimin took the train to Guangzhou.
On this business trip, through the previous period of continuous rotation, he once again bought himself a lot of time to continue buying bananas in the future.
It was the middle of the night in Guangzhou, Yao Weimin only rested for a few hours, and the next morning, after breakfast outside, he took a bus to the village where he had purchased bananas last time.
He came all the way to the door of the village chief's house, first stood outside the courtyard and listened intently to the movement inside, and then reached out and knocked on the door.
"Mr. Zhang! Hahaha...... You're in the house please! When the village chief Chen Shuisheng opened the door and saw that it was the big customer from last time, he was overjoyed and enthusiastically invited Yao Weimin into the house.
"Weak woman, there is a distinguished guest at home, you killed our Luhua chicken and entertained guests at noon!"
After Chen Shuisheng let Yao Weimin into the house, he shouted loudly into the inner room.
Hearing the answer from the back room, a woman in her fifties who was about the same age as Chen Shuisheng walked out, bent down to say hello to Yao Weimin, and went out.
After a while, the yard was noisy for a while before it quieted down.
"Brother, you're still too polite, I'm just here to run errands in Guangzhou, and then take the time to meet with you, and I don't pick anything to eat." Yao Weimin said with a smile.
"That's not good, Mr. Zhang, you helped us a lot a year ago, so that most of the people in our village have a good year, today you are here, I must show sincerity!"
Chen Shuisheng hurriedly waved his hand and enthusiastically added tea to Yao Weimin, his expression was faintly excited, "Mr. Zhang, do you still want to harvest bananas this time?" ”
After he finished speaking, he subconsciously rubbed his hands, and the excitement on his face couldn't be suppressed.
Last time, Yao Weimin generously gave him a price of one dime and two catties, he could eat a rebate of two cents per catty, and tens of thousands of catties of bananas were taken away, and he earned more than a thousand more in this regard alone, which was a huge amount of money for him, so seeing Yao Weimin was like seeing the God of Wealth, and he was grateful in his heart.
"Well......" Yao Weimin groaned, hesitated for a while before saying: "Let's take a look first, I don't dare to accept this banana thing, there are too many bad ones all the way back, and the price is not suitable!" ”
"Mr. Zhang, you think about it again, the price is easy to discuss, hehe......" Chen Shuisheng's heart was half cold when he heard this, and he couldn't help but smile and persuade.
"I've come to Guangzhou to do business these days, and I've come to see you by the way, how can I say that I also cooperated a few years ago, but now that the New Year has just ended, the money in the hands of the people is tight, and the banana is honest, it's not easy to sell at present!"
Yao Weimin shook his head and said again.
"If it's not good to sell, the price will be reduced, Mr. Zhang, we can give you a cheaper banana here, can you pull some away?" Chen Shuisheng asked faintly anxiously.
"Brother, give me a real price, if you collect it now, how much can I collect at the minimum, I'll think about it." Yao Weimin took a sip of tea, took the cigarette roll handed by Chen Shuisheng, and said seriously.
"No problem! Mr. Zhang, don't worry, if you can still take so much now, I can settle it according to a pound and a dime! Chen Shuisheng waved his hand and said boldly.
"Hmm...... Then let's not talk about trading today, I just want to come to my brother's house for a meal, and when your bananas are cheaper in the future, I will buy them again! Yao Weimin was unmoved, and said with a smile.
This time it wasn't as tight as last time, so he wasn't in a hurry at all.
"Mr. Zhang, nine and a half percent, this is really the lowest price!" Chen Shuisheng had no choice but to take the initiative to reduce the price again, frowning slightly.
"Brother, you are like this, since you have talked about this, I can't say it if I don't bring some bananas back when I leave, but, in terms of price, eight cents a pound, you go and tell the people in your village, you can pick the fruit, if you can't pick it, I don't force it, and it doesn't matter if I cooperate next time I come!"
Yao Weimin said calmly.
"Mr. Zhang, eight points is too low, can't you raise it again?" Chen Shuisheng asked with a sad face.
"Mingren doesn't say dark words, I also understood it last time I went back, the regular channel to harvest banana fruit, it is just more than four cents a pound, I found you privately, it is already a lot to give eight cents, there is still an extra two cents of yours, and the villagers settle by six cents a pound, what do you think?"
Yao Weimin fiddled with the cigarette roll in his hand and said with a smile.
Chen Shuisheng smiled awkwardly when he heard this, gritted his teeth and decided to go around the village, and asked the villagers if they agreed to pick the fruit if they were six cents.
Yao Weimin told him that there were still two extra cents to make, so he was still willing to facilitate this deal.
"Mr. Zhang, you sit in the room for a while, I'll try it for you, hey, eight cents is really too low."
Chen Shuisheng said that in the end, with a touch of entanglement on his face, he helped Yao Weimin fill the tea again and went out.
When Yao Weimin saw him go out, he didn't wait in the house, because he also had a trace of vigilance towards Chen Shuisheng, and he ran to this southern village alone, in case he was reported by Chen Shuisheng, it would be difficult to get out of the house.
He came to the courtyard, and after greeting Chen Shuisheng's wife, he walked to the eaves of the courtyard gate and looked at the scenery in the distance.
From this position, he could clearly see his surroundings, and it was not easy for the villagers to spot him.
Soon, he saw a young man running towards this side from the country road, Yao Weimin was slightly stunned, and then asked with a smile at Chen Shuisheng's wife, who was defeathering the chickens in the courtyard: "Hello sister-in-law, where do your children work?" ”
"He, he didn't go to work, he was idle at home every day, didn't he run out again just now, and he often didn't see anyone for a day!"
Chen Shuisheng's wife responded politely.
Yao Weimin relaxed when he heard this, the young man who ran close should not have been called by Chen Shuisheng to make trouble for himself, but more like someone from this family.
"What do you do? What's wrong with it at my doorstep? The young man came closer, frowned and asked Yao Weimin.
"I'm your father's friend, I came to him for a drink, you're Lao Chen's son, right?" Yao Weimin looked at the young man with a fixed face and said.
"You...... Friends with my dad? The young man's tone was questioning, and his expression couldn't help but become strange, mainly because Yao Weimin looked a few years older than him, and he called his father a brother, which made him a little hard to believe.
"Jin Wang, how do you talk to your father's guest? Nothing big or small! Chen Shuisheng's wife heard the movement and saw that it was his son who came back, and spoke in a bad tone to Yao Weimin, so she quickly stood up and scolded loudly.
The two then exchanged a few words in the local dialect, and Chen Shuisheng's son Chen Jinwang understood it, and immediately made a 180-degree turn in his attitude towards Yao Weimin, and hurriedly apologized with a smile: "Boss Zhang, I'm sorry, I offended you with my eyes, my dad is busy, I'll accompany you to the house for tea!" ”
"No, I've been sitting in the room for so long just now, it's not bad for me to stand here for a while, you have something to do first, don't worry about me." Yao Weimin waved his hand, he couldn't see Chen Shuisheng, he didn't want to stay in the house.
When you go out, be careful in everything, this is his principle.
"Boss Zhang, you're here to harvest bananas again, right?" Chen Jinwang didn't leave, but approached and asked in a low voice with a smile, but seeing Yao Weimin look at him deeply, he hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, my father's business is my business, so I just want to help, nothing else!" ”
"And how are you going to help?" Yao Weimin asked casually.
"Boss Zhang, you smoke first." Chen Jinwang heard the question and hurriedly lit a cigarette for Yao Weimin, and then whispered: "At this time, you come to us to buy fruits, don't patronize and harvest bananas, we still have pineapples here, and they are easy to sell outside!" ”
"Tell me more." Yao Weimin's heart moved, but his expression did not change, and he still looked at the scenery in the distance.
"It's the same way you let my dad harvest bananas, but you have to give our family three cents of profits, and I promise you how much you want, and I can collect as much as you want!"
Chen Jinwang patted his chest and swore solemnly.
"This is a later story, you have to tell me the price first, if it doesn't make money, why should I charge it?" Yao Weimin glanced at Chen Jinwang with a touch of impatience, "You just tell me clearly, how much money can be collected per catty, this is the point, understand?" ”
"Hey...... You can rest assured that the price will not let you suffer, Hong Kong Island to collect it, is eight cents a pound, but people are with a list, although you are a big boss, but there is no list, the price will be a little more expensive, plus our family's three cents of hard work, you a pound and a dime and a penny to collect, I can do this! ”
Yao Weimin smiled, "I can give you three cents of profits, but the total price can only be a dime and three cents, go back and discuss this matter with your father, if it can be done, let's get 30,000 catties first, this time I will even pull away the bananas." ”
"Boss Zhang, you're making it difficult for me, a dime and three cents is a bit low, right?" Chen Jinwang's face was entangled, similar to the expression of his father Chen Shuisheng when he talked about the price of bananas just now.
Yao Weimin knew that there was a drama at a glance, and he didn't say much, just waved his hand, signaling that Chen Jinwang didn't have anything to talk about.
At this time, Chen Shuisheng's figure appeared from a distance, and trotted back all the way with joy on his face.
Yao Weimin looked behind him and around him, and didn't find any unusual movement, so he continued to stand under the courtyard gate, waiting for Chen Shuisheng to run closer.
"Mr. Zhang, agreed, haha...... I'm so good to say, the big guy is willing to pick the fruit at this price for the sake of my face! ”
Chen Shuisheng wiped his sweat and reported to Yao Weimin excitedly.
"Brother is tired, Na Cheng, let's follow the previous way, tell the big guy to start doing it tonight!"
Yao Weimin knew in his heart that the price he offered was relatively fair, and people had little income in the spring, so they could exchange bananas for some money, so there was no reason to disagree.
"Jin Wang, why didn't you take Mr. Zhang to the house to sit? Hurry up and buy two bottles of good wine, and I'm going to have a good drink with Mr. Zhang at noon! ”
Seeing that his son was also standing next to him, Chen Shuisheng commanded with a smile.
"Dad, I'm here to talk to Boss Zhang about business, you go buy a bar, we haven't finished talking yet!" Chen Jinwang didn't want to run errands, so he glanced at his father impatiently, "Also, Dad, let me remind you, next time you'd better follow me, just call Boss Zhang, people on Hong Kong Island are shouting like this to people who do big business!" ”
