Chapter 18 First Strikes
It didn't take long for Chen Yang's phone to ring.
He answered the phone, then stood up and waved in a certain direction.
After a while, a motorcycle three-wheeled motorcycle suddenly came to the side of the two.
"You're Boss Xiao Chen, right?"
A short, dark and thin man jumped out of the car and came to Chen Yang's face, speaking in a Cantonese dialect.
"Hello Boss Li, I'm Chen Yang, and I'm a friend of the elder Liu."
Chen Yang also said hello, and then introduced Wu Jun to him.
"This is my buddy Wu Jun."
Boss Li looked Chen Yang up and down a few times, grinned, showed a mouthful of white teeth, and reached out to pat Chen Yang on the shoulder.
"Pretty boy, welcome to Gui Province."
Boss Li's name is Li Shanxi, and he has been a business partner of Lao Liu for many years. It's just that now that the eldest Liu is worth a lot, Li Shanxi can't help anymore.
Elder Liu knew that Li Shanxi was a stable person, so he introduced Chen Yang to him.
Brokers all have turf.
Under normal circumstances, it is not possible to receive goods across sites.
So Chen Yang and Wu Jun took their luggage and went to the place where Li Shanxi lived.
Li Shanxi's family lives in the mountains, and he drove a tricycle with the two of them and staggered all the way home.
His yard is large, covered with asbestos tiles on all sides, and with a simple portal, it can be regarded as a warehouse.
Li Shanxi has four children. The two sons have started a family and moved out.
There are now only two daughters in the family.
The eldest daughter is called the eldest sister, who is about the same age as Chen Yang, and the younger daughter is called the little sister, and she is still in elementary school.
In the evening, the Li family made a large table of dishes to entertain the two.
Li Shan likes wine, Chen Yang and Wu Jun are young and strong, which is the age when they can drink. The three of you went back and forth, and they drank and fell to the ground.
That night, the two stayed at Li Shanxi's house.
Early the next morning, Li Shanxi invited the two to have morning tea again.
Morning tea is a local specialty, and the refreshments are also very rich, which is equivalent to breakfast in the north.
After using the morning tea, Li Shanxi asked Chen Yang's intention.
Chen Yang didn't tell the truth, he just said to take a look.
Businessmen are very cautious and will not reveal their purpose easily, otherwise they will fall into disadvantage in the next transaction.
Li Shanxi didn't care, and asked the eldest sister to act as a tour guide for the two, and took the two to go around.
Stayed in his house and was his guest.
The eldest sister drove a tricycle and drove the two to the surrounding markets.
It is a distribution center for the by-products of the surrounding area.
The eldest sister is an authentic Gui provincial girl, dark and short, with a pair of eyes and a lively personality.
She seemed to be a little curious about the two of them, asking this and that along the way.
Chen Yang smiled and dealt with a few words, and suddenly said, "Eldest sister, you can take me to see the star anise." ”
The eldest sister nodded and drove a tricycle to a compound.
There are many people coming in and out of the gate of the compound, and this is an octagonal acquisition point.
The anise growers harvest the anise and sell it to the anise buying points in the bazaar, and these people gather the anise to supply the buyers from all over the country.
In this bazaar, there are more than a dozen octagonal acquisition points like this, large and small.
After Chen Yang and Wu Jun walked in, they instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"The boss from out of town wants to receive the goods? Talk about it inside, talk about it inside. ”
A middle-aged man with gold teeth grinned and pulled Chen Yang to go in.
Chen Yang smiled and did not move.
"Big Golden Tooth, this is my dad's client."
The eldest sister parked the car and walked over.
"Oh, it turned out to be Brother Pao's friend, that's easy to say, easy to say."
The Great Golden Tooth smiled and put away his thoughts.
Li Shanxi, alias Li Cannon, was still very famous in this area when he was young.
In their words, it can be covered.
That's why it's important to find a local broker when you go out to buy goods.
Only if you find the locals, you will not be bullied, otherwise there will be times when you cry.
"Where is the boss from?"
The Great Golden Tooth handed over a cigarette.
Chen Yang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Thank you, I don't need to smoke." Can you take a look at your goods? ”
In fact, he also smokes, but he won't easily pick up other people's cigarettes when he goes out.
This is also the lesson of blood.
Back then, a boss on Medicinal Herb Street took a cigarette from someone outside, and then he was dizzy and didn't know anything.
By the time he came to his senses, all the money and goods were gone.
So when you go out, don't easily pick up other people's cigarettes and water.
Ok Ok!
The Great Golden Tooth hurriedly led the two into the warehouse.
The compound was all hardened, and the ground was covered with fresh anise.
Fresh star anise is harvested and sent to the buying point, where the merchant then dries it and then packs it for sale.
The warehouse is neatly arranged with sacks, which are full of finished goods that have been dried.
Chen Yang looked at the goods casually, and then chatted with Da Jinya, knowing that he had about five tons of goods in his hands, and the price was about twelve yuan a kilogram.
Go around again!
Chen Yang said goodbye to the big gold tooth, and under the leadership of the eldest sister, he went to several acquisition points to learn about the situation.
"Dajun, if there is no eldest sister, if the two of us enter this courtyard, I am afraid it will not be easy to get out."
Chen Yang said meaningfully.
Can't get out?
Wu Jun was stunned for a moment, puzzled: "Is it so serious?" Do they dare to buy and sell by force? ”
The eldest sister pursed her lips and smiled, but did not speak.
The people in the mountainous areas are strong, what is it to buy and sell strongly?
Push forward ten or twenty years, and there are people who kill people and sell goods.
The mountain is so big, just find a place to bury someone, who can find it?
However, now that the law and order are good, there must be no more murder and overselling goods, but it is definitely indispensable to buy and sell and bully outsiders.
Without the support of the locals, you can't find a place to cry.
……
In the next two days, the two have been looking around under the leadership of the eldest sister.
Basically walked around the whole mountainous area.
In this mountainous area, Li Shanxi can cover it, and Chen Yang can also rest assured that he can receive the goods here.
Chen Yang knew it in his heart.
In the past two days, I have seen the goods of several companies, and the scattered ones add up to more than 20 tons.
The quality is also uneven, but it is also said in the past.
The highest price is about 12 yuan, and the cheapest is about 10 yuan.
If you let Boss Li go out, it may be cheaper.
To be honest, there are many bosses who come from other places to buy star anise, but they see more and buy less.
That's why there are so many unsalable goods here.
Now the quality of the star anise is poor and the price is still high, everyone is still waiting, no one starts.
Because it will soon be the time for the octagonal concentration to be delivered, no one wants to take risks.
What if the goods shipped later are cheaper than they are now?
Even if it is flat, the quality will definitely be better than the current one.
What a chance!
Chen Yang couldn't help but pinch the middle of the person.
Don't wait, let's do it now!
There are more than 400,000 in his hands, and Wu Jun seems to only have about 20,000 in his hands.
According to the current price, 420,000 yuan can buy 389 tons, which is enough to load two semi-trailers, and the goods here are enough.
Chen Yang decided to take a gamble and take a car first.
