Chapter 168: A Pair of Toads
"How many pineapples can you get in five days?" Yao Weimin asked calmly and unhurriedly.
Chen Shuisheng was excited when he heard this, and responded almost without thinking: "Haha...... Boss Zhang, don't worry, I can get as much as you want! ”
Yao Weimin frowned slightly and glanced at him, and the monkey next to him couldn't help glaring at Chen Shuisheng and said, "Brother Chen, you are the first...... Sensei excited, Boss Zhang is asking you ...... The specific quantity, we will talk to you...... Talking about business, not to listen to you...... You brag! ”
"Boss Hou, you're right, hehe...... It's that I didn't make it clear. Chen Shuisheng hurriedly bent down to apologize, and after groaning slightly, he looked at Yao Weimin cautiously and said, "I'm confident that I can get 7,000 pineapples in five days!" ”
"I Have a Catalogue of Ghosts and Gods"
He can see that although there is one more person this time, looking at the words and deeds of the two, they still have to be dominated by Boss Zhang, who has been here several times, and Boss Hou who came next to him obviously listened to Boss Zhang's orders.
"Hmm......" Yao Weimin nodded slowly, not saying anything more.
"Boss Zhang, what do you mean......" Chen Shuisheng looked at Yao Weimin with anticipation on his face, and his hands were subconsciously clenched.
Seven thousand pineapples, an average of three catties, that is more than 20,000 catties, this thing he can get more rebates than bananas, bananas are two cents a catty, pineapples are three cents a catty.
Don't look at the rebate of only one penny more per catty, but according to 20,000 catties, it is more than 200 yuan, which is equivalent to picking up for nothing, and 200 yuan can cover the wages of those workers who work in the city for more than half a year!
"It's all there." Yao Weimin smiled, although he only said three words, but in Chen Shuisheng's ear, it was even more wonderful than Xianle.
"Great! Then I'll help you go to Zhang Luo as soon as I eat at noon! Chen Shuisheng stood up excitedly and gave Yao Weimin and the monkey cigarettes again.
"This time I'm in a hurry, the faster the 7,000 pineapples, the better, so that the villagers will start shipping them out tonight, and I will come to receive them in the second half of the night!"
Yao Weimin reminded again.
"Don't worry, Boss Zhang, I promise nothing will go wrong!" Chen Shuisheng nodded again and again, and while his son's chicken was not stewed, he simply went out in advance to contact the matter of picking and transporting pineapples at night.
The lunch was very rich, Chen Shuisheng and his son warmly entertained them, and accompanied Yao Weimin and the two to lunch.
In the afternoon, Yao Weimin left Chen Shuisheng's house with the monkey, and after walking a distance, he stopped his bicycle next to the herbal tea shop where he had drunk tea for the first time, asked for two bowls of herbal tea, and sat down with the monkey.
"Second brother, I basically understand the situation...... Understand, you don't have to run to stare at ...... in the future Stare, I will contact them in advance, prepare the goods, you come to just settle, and then the goods ...... Just take it away. ”
After the monkey sat down, he saw that the other tea guests were far away, and he couldn't help but whisper in his heart.
On the way to Chen Shuisheng's house in the morning, Yao Weimin briefly told him what he would do in the future.
Staying in the south for a long time, buying all kinds of cheap materials for Sijiu City, not limited to Guangzhou, as long as you hear the news anywhere else, you can rush over to understand, if appropriate, send a telegram to ask for instructions, and after Yao Weimin's consent, you can buy it on a large scale.
"Hmm." Yao Weimin nodded, and then frowned slightly, "It's not easy to come here, seven thousand pineapples are a bit less." ”
"Second brother! You also want ...... How much? The monkey asked.
"It's best to make up 10,000 to save trouble, monkey, you know, every time you find someone to transport, it's a big trouble!" Yao Weimin said with a smile.
"Otherwise, I'm ...... Where I live can also help you try it? ”
"Well, you can, but be cautious, don't give people orders, then the gains outweigh the losses."
"Don't worry, second brother, talk to Brother Chen at noon...... Talking about business, I found out that this thing is more than ...... than selling in Sijiu City...... Selling goods should be simple, and the guarantee is not ...... No problem! The monkey assured with a confident look on his chest.
"Okay, then I'll deal with other things in the city during the day these days, and bring people over to pull the goods at night, your task is to get at least 3,000 pineapples, the price is the same as Lao Chen's side, and also get a little sugarcane, you can negotiate the price, I won't participate."
Yao Weimin took a sip of herbal tea and gave the monkey an encouraging look.
"Gotcha! Hello second brother! The monkey said excitedly.
After drinking herbal tea, the two continued to hurry, and after returning to the town, the monkey went to buy some seafood, and made green onion clams for Yao Weimin in the evening, fried snails, and got some shrimp and sea fish, and the two drank a little wine and chatted until more than ten o'clock in the evening.
During the period, two young people came to find the monkey to play cards, but when they saw that there were guests, they turned around and left, and the monkey smiled and explained to Yao Weimin that the two were two friends who met earlier after coming here, and the relationship was quite reasonable.
Southerners sleep late at night, and the town is still very lively at ten o'clock at night, with pedestrians coming and going, and noisy laughter wafting everywhere.
The two were full of wine and food, and the monkey motioned for Yao Weimin to rest for a while, and he went outside to find someone to ask about the purchase of pineapples.
Yao Weimin nodded and watched the monkey ride out of the courtyard on his bicycle.
More than an hour passed, and the monkey went and returned, with an uplifted smile on his face.
"Second brother, the problem is not ...... Not too! My friend promised to take me to his village tomorrow to find the chief! ”
"Well, then I won't come forward, this time I'll leave it to you to operate it yourself, be cautious in everything, just tell me when the time comes." Yao Weimin smiled and nodded.
The two didn't see each other for many days, and they chatted about some interesting things about Sijiu City, and the time was more than one o'clock in the night.
Yao Weimin got up and went out, and took the monkey to Chen Shuisheng's village again.
As before, after the villagers had pulled more than 1,000 pineapples to their designated locations, Yao Weimin called the monkey aside and handed him a work bag full of great unity.
"You take Chen Shuisheng and them to settle the bill, and I will arrange the transportation next."
"Understood!" The monkey took the work bag, looked at the money inside, and couldn't help but be a little stunned on his face, "Second brother, this money ...... Seems like a lot of money, right? ”
"This is about 10,000 pineapples, you put it first, and when all the settlements are completed on the last day, I will give you more refunds and less compensation!" Yao Weimin said calmly.
"Okay! Don't worry, second brother, I'll take them away first! The monkey knew that the second brother trusted him, so he handed over all the money for the purchase of pineapples here to him in advance.
"Oh yes, from tomorrow onwards, I just have to come over in the early morning with the transporters to pull the goods, and I won't be able to come during the day." Yao Weimin asked.
"Hmm!" The monkey nodded vigorously, ran into the distance, and walked away with Chen Shuisheng and the other villagers.
Yao Weimin watched the figures disappear into the night, waited a little longer, and then put the pineapples on the ground into the space, and then rode the bicycle borrowed by the monkey back to the city overnight.
In the next few days, he rested during the day, occasionally went to the local purchasing station to show up, and went to the suburbs to collect pineapples in the early morning, feeling much more relaxed than when he came the first two times.
The monkey's friend did not disappoint, and helped contact more than 3,000 pineapples, as well as 500 bundles of sugar cane, each bundle of almost fifty or sixty sticks, and the price of each one was lowered by the monkey, and it was a penny and a penny a piece.
Seven days had passed since the two supplies had been collected, and Yao Weimin told the monkey to continue to inquire about other suitable and cheap supplies, and then stepped on the return train.
Bringing back pineapples and sugarcane was only part of the plan, and Yao Weimin was even more pleased that the monkey had basically integrated into the life of the locals, and with his own friends, he should soon establish his own connections and find more suitable products for him to sell back to the north.
The return trip was still a sleeper ticket, and Yao Weimin returned to Sijiu City after a few days and nights of trekking.
The next day was Wednesday, Yao Weimin arrived at the station to make a brief report to Xiao Hongying about the business trip, processed the business trip expense documents, and checked the work at hand, and the day passed.
After getting off work, he went back to the courtyard and unexpectedly learned that Chen Junxiu was pregnant!
In the past few days when he was on a business trip, Yao Weiguo came back with Chen Junxiu once, told Yao Zude and his wife the news, and took the whole family to the restaurant for a meal.
However, from beginning to end, Yao Zude and his wife never had the opportunity to meet Chen Junxiu's parents, which means that Yao Weiguo and his wife have not met until now.
Yao Zude was already surprised by this, and he didn't take it seriously in his heart for a long time, but he was still angry about Yao Weiguo having been living in the Chen family, so his attitude was still very cold.
"Wei Min, your brother can't count on it, I am looking forward to you and Wen Li adding a grandson to our old couple as soon as possible, and when the time comes, our Yao family will be regarded as having a queen!" Yao Zude said with a smile.
"Yes, you two got married on May Day, you must take this matter to heart for me, if there is no movement on National Day, then don't blame me for picking you up with your father!" Han Guifeng glared at Yao Weimin with a narrow face, and said without hesitation.
"Mom! I'm still here, can you pay attention to what you always say! Yao Hongfang sat on the small bed, with a helpless look on her face.
"What do you know about this little girl, listen less to adults, learn from your sister, hurry back to the house to study, go and go!" Han Guifeng picked up the broom that was cleaning the sheets and urged Yao Hongfang.
Yao Hongfang reluctantly whispered and went back to her room.
Yao Weimin only smiled and drank tea, too lazy to say anything to his mother, he thought it was better to go with the flow when it came to having a child.
When he got home in the evening, he found Gangzi.
"Second brother, you're back!" Gangzi was ecstatic, his expression was indescribably excited, "The pineapples have also been sold out in the past few days, and the two old boys of Gou Lizi and Han Banzi come to me almost every day, sending things and inviting drinks, and I thought I wouldn't cooperate with them anymore!" Hey hey ......"
"How's the other recalcitrant ones getting in touch?" Yao Weimin asked with a smile.
"The fourth master of Yuwang's tomb drank wine once, and he has plans to cooperate, but he can't understand the fact that we collect the deposit in advance, and I want to buy the goods at the original price, I didn't promise him, I plan to dry him for a while, and wait for him to figure it out when he will figure it out!"
Gangzi reported seriously, and then talked about Xue Fei's situation in the field.
"Lord Rabbit is worthy of being the second brother, you hand-picked the character, basically gained a firm foothold in Baoding Mansion, and after the last time I brought someone to Sijiu City to see the situation of our sales, I have agreed to cooperate!"
He paused when he said this, and smiled dryly at Yao Weimin, "Hehe, second brother, every time you bring back the goods, I don't have enough to sell in Sijiu City, if you give Baoding Mansion some more permission, it will be less." ”
Yao Weimin glanced at him, "What's the hurry?" The days of making money are ahead, and the goods that are given to you now are for you to use to pave the way, and when you gather all the stubborn lords of Sijiu City, I will send you as many goods as you want! ”
Gangzi smiled when he heard this, and hurriedly nodded: "What the second brother taught me is, I understand, don't worry, Brother Chain said that he would unify all the stubborn masters before the end of the summer, and I still make this promise to complete this goal for Brother Chain Zi!" ”
"That's right, let's go, you go find someone to follow me, and when the goods arrive, let him notify you to pull the goods!"
Yao Weimin got up and walked outside.
Gangzi was overjoyed, with excitement in his eyes, he quickly crossed Yao Weimin and ran towards the gate of the courtyard, "Second brother, wait a minute, I'll arrange someone immediately!" With that, he went to the outside of the courtyard, and before Yao Weimin could walk to the gate of the courtyard, he took a young man and waited at the gate of the courtyard.
"Second brother, his name is Mao Dan'er, and he is also very clever, let him go with you?" After just asking, he kicked the young man next to him again, "Call the second brother quickly, you will do whatever the second brother tells you to do in the future, you know!" ”
"Second brother! I'm hairy, I'll listen to you in the future! Mao Dan'er looked at Yao Weimin with some apprehension.
Yao Weimin looked at the young man, didn't say anything, and took the lead in walking towards the front.
Mao Dan'er didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly followed Yao Weimin's footsteps.
As before, Yao Weimin took Mao Dan'er away in advance, unloaded some of the goods to an open and hidden area, and when Gangzi arrived with people, he turned around and went home to rest.
Another few days passed, during which Yao Weimin went to find Shen Wenli, and also drank with Su Jianjun, Yang Yuejin and others, and the life was relatively peaceful.
But he didn't plan to stay in Sijiu City for too long, so he went to Xiao Hongying again and proposed to go on a business trip to the Northeast next week.
Xiao Hongying currently attaches great importance to Yao Weimin, and has long regarded him as the most powerful subordinate, and agreed to his request without the slightest hesitation.
In this era, information exchange is not developed, and the purchaser, as the front-line personnel of material allocation, is to often travel to various places to actually understand the situation, which is a normal thing in the procurement station.
After determining the time of the business trip and setting it to leave next Monday, Yao Weimin took Shen Wenli home for a meal on Saturday.
turned out to run into Yao Weiguo, who also came back for dinner.
"Wei Min, I haven't seen you for a long time, I've been very busy lately!" Yao Weiguo seemed to have forgotten about being slapped by Yao Weimin, with a surging smile on his face, he pointed at Chen Junxiu, "By the way, do you know about your sister-in-law's pregnancy?" ”
"Hmm." Yao Weimin didn't look down on him in his heart, so he just nodded casually, and continued to turn his head to talk to his father.
"Weimin, tomorrow is Sunday, I plan to go to the restaurant outside at noon to feast those friends in the compound, if you have time, you might as well come, don't say that the elder brother doesn't take care of you, let you know more people, maybe it will help you in the future!"
Yao Weiguo looked proud and said with the posture of a big brother.
"Defend the country!" Hearing this, Chen Junxi glared at Yao Weiguo first, and then sneered with obvious disdain, "Heh, he is not a person in your circle, if he is called to go, if no one pays attention to him, he will have to count you as a brother when he gets home, right?" ”
"Are you done with the fart? Hurry up and get out when you're done! Yao Weimin's eyes widened, Yao Weiguo and his wife were no different from a pair of toads in his eyes, jumping on the surface of their feet, not biting but disgusting.
He scolded coldly, and he didn't plan to save face for these two people.
"Weimin, your sister-in-law is pregnant, if you are a little angry......" Yao Weiguo's face was gloomy, and before he finished speaking, Yao Weimin stood up reluctantly, and suddenly scared him speechless.
"Say it again, in the future, whenever I go home, I don't want to see you two pieces of stinky meat at home, get out of here, or don't blame me for throwing you out!" Yao Weimin took a step forward, his expression indifferent.
"Dad, Mom, don't you care about that?" Yao Weiguo subconsciously pulled Chen Junxiu to retreat to the door, and shouted at Yao Zude and his wife with an aggrieved face.
"Okay, I can't listen to what your daughter-in-law said, let's go quickly, if you still remember that there is my father, you will come back when Weimin and them are not at home in the future!" Yao Zude waved his hand, not only did not stop Yao Weimin, but also glared at the two of them with a cold face.
"Hmph, Weiguo, let's go, I won't eat this meal yet!" Chen Junxiu was afraid that Yao Weimin would beat people like last time, so he dragged Yao Weiguo out of the door.
"None of them have a good thing!" Han Guifeng sat on the edge of the bed and glanced at the backs of the two of them angrily, looking angry.
"Aunt is angry, it's not worth it to be angry with them." Shen Wenli ignored Yao Weiguo and the others, and now seeing that they were driven away by Yao Weimin, she got up and came to Han Guifeng to comfort them.
Yao Weiguo, who was about to leave the house, pushed the cart out of the courtyard door, and couldn't help but turn around and stare inside hatefully.
"Weiguo, you are insane, I finally asked Yang Yuejin and them to have dinner together tomorrow through Yang Suhua, what do you have to call Yao Weimin?!"
Chen Junxiu complained in a low voice.
"Junxiu, you misunderstood, I deliberately wanted to pull Wei Min to the wine field tomorrow!"
Yao Weiguo also explained in a low voice, "Didn't you notice, Weimin is so crazy now, he doesn't even pay attention to my brother, isn't it because he thinks he has a good job, and he can usually know a lot of people, and he thinks that the whole family can't let him go?" ”
