Chapter 173: Happiness is gone
It's so easy to deceive the little girl's skin for hundreds of thousands, Zhang Chi's mood is not good, and he is even happier when he sees Merika smiling all day long, as for what Merika said she wants to eat, Zhang Chi is immediately satisfied, and he can eat up hundreds of thousands of dollars with what he eats.
For this reason, Zhang Chi directly slaughtered a sheep, and ate a mutton skewer at night.
Put the little lady ...... in the morning Oh, no, the eldest lady of the Kuo family sent it away, Zhang Chi hummed a little tune, drove his second-hand pickup truck to the entrance of the town and joined Nell and the others.
"Why are you so happy today?" Nell saw Zhang Chi with a smile on his face, so he asked curiously.
Zhang Chi replied: "I made a little money."
"That's fun," Nell laughed.
Zhang Chi asked, "Why hasn't Selior arrived yet?" ”
"Isn't that coming?" said Nell, gesturing to the road.
Zhang Chi glanced at it, and sure enough, Selior's old-fashioned pickup appeared in sight.
Nell said, "Let's go."
As he spoke, he walked towards his pickup.
Zhang Chi asked, "Why don't you rent an ox cart?" ”
Nell just opened the car door, heard Zhang Chi ask, paused and explained: "Where is the cattle we bought can be solved by a small cattle truck, don't worry, where we buy cattle we can directly hire a car to transport it back, if you are lucky, you can let the cattle owner help transport it."
Zhang Chi nodded and got into his car.
Seriel's car came over, everyone said hello in the car, and drove towards the town where the cattle were sold today.
Today, the town where cattle are sold is not far from Amber, about 80 or 90 kilometers away by car.
When he arrived at the place, Zhang Chi found that this place was not the same as the cattle selling he had seen last time, there was no auction venue here, the auction venue Zhang Chi said was a regular kind with a roof, there was only an empty field here, and there was an iron frame on the field, which was a bit like a simple court.
The outside is full of cattle, and almost all of them are miscellaneous cattle, and some breeds of cattle are also the common Simmental or the American breed with long horns.
There is no special fence for storing cattle here, just a piece of iron chisel tied to the ground, a rope is hung like this, and the enclosure is the activity place of each cow.
The three of them found a place to stop the car, and then turned around the field.
To be exact, Zhang Chi followed behind Nell and Seriel, watching the two ask for a price.
Last year, Zhang Chi bought cattle at auction, and at this time he learned that there was also such a buying and selling method here, and he negotiated the price directly with the owner of the cattle.
The price of cattle also varies, even if it is a calf of the same breed, the price also varies according to the size of the calf, the degree of fat and thinness, the calf of the same age, the price of a large and fat calf is also expensive, there is little room for bargaining, and the owner of the cow prefers to be auctioned rather than trading privately here.
Of course, in the case of ordinary calves, the owner of the cow is happy to be able to sell in private, which saves some time and auction costs.
The three of them fell in love with several batches of calves, but all the owners of the cattle wanted to be auctioned instead of trading privately, which made the three a little helpless.
After turning around for more than an hour, the three of them did not buy a cow.
Nell said to Zhang Chi and the two, "Why don't we go to the auction place and have a look?" ”
Seliol nodded.
Zhang Chi could have any opinions, so he also nodded.
The three of them walked towards the open-air auction hall.
As soon as he arrived at the edge of the venue, Zhang Chi's mobile phone rang, and when he took it out, he found a text message, and the bank reminded him that his account had reached 58,000 US dollars.
"The Reborn Financial Giant"
Zhang Chi was stunned when he saw the money, he knew where the money came from, but the amount was wrong.
"You guys go in first, I'll come to you later, I'll make a call," Zhang Chi said to Nell and Serol in front of him.
After speaking, Zhang Chi took his mobile phone and found a place where there were not too many people and made a call.
After two rings, Merica's voice rang out.
"Hey, it's only fifty-eight, and half of the number is less," Zhang Chi asked.
Merika said clearly: "You can't give half of it? ”
"I said yesterday that I won't pay this money," Zhang Chi said.
Merika said: "Everyone is doing business together, and the cost will naturally be shared, and I still want to tell you this reason?" ”
"We talked about it yesterday," Zhang Chi said.
Merica smiled and replied, "Yes, but is there a contract?" I can't regret it now, just this money, if you don't want it, call me back, or go to work! ”
"......" Zhang Chi is speechless.
"If you dare to be affectionate, just tease me, right?" Zhang Chi said after a while.
Merica was very direct: "Of course, one mouth costs 100,000, are you crazy or am I crazy?" What medicine costs so much? You kid must be trying to trick me, even if you release ginseng, it's not worth so much money. Oh, I forgot to tell you, our family is still in the Chinese medicine business."
"You're blinding me?" Zhang Chi said.
Merika said, "Come, I'll give you a ...... of the price of Chinese medicine exported to the United States."
Zhang Chi was directly stunned, because he heard that Merica really quoted a string of prices for himself, although he didn't know if it was true or not, but Zhang Chi sounded like it was true, because this thing was found.
"Your family is still doing this?" Zhang Chi was a little surprised.
Merika said, "What do you think? The best TCM medicine in the USA right now! ”
Zhang Chi really didn't know this.
What Merika said is a bit exaggerated, but it is also part of the truth, there are a lot of Chinese medicine practitioners in the United States, and there are even more good Chinese medicine practitioners, how much money do you think a Chinese medicine doctor can get a year in China? The United States directly offered an annual salary of three or four hundred thousand dollars a year to poach people, and many outstanding doctors in traditional Chinese medicine hospitals came here.
In particular, needle punctures and bruises, which can be seen at once, are especially popular with sports groups.
Many people in China scold Chinese medicine as liars and praise Western medicine, but in the United States, Chinese medicine has shown a good momentum of development.
The same is true for Chinese herbal medicines, which are now either exported to Japan or Western countries, but the medicinal materials used in China are average. The export of good medicinal materials is still popular, and the Japanese directly registered a thousand gold prescriptions, which is really a slap in the face of a group of so-called experts who want to go to traditional Chinese medicine.
"Take my money and work hard, don't be lazy with me, if the cows are not good, be careful that I hit you," Merika threatened.
"......" Zhang Chi didn't know how to say it, and scolded a few more bad words about the little girl in his heart.
After receiving the phone, Zhang Chi's mood was instantly bad again, he originally thought about getting the money, but now he suddenly cut it in half, it's no wonder that he is in a good mood.
Pulled an old face into the auction area.
There weren't too many people in the auction area, and the sparse number of one or two hundred people sat on dozens of iron shelves, and it was easy to see Nell and Serol.
Sitting next to the two, the two of them didn't notice the change in Zhang Chi's face, because now everyone's attention was on the calf auctioned on the field.
Now in the open space in the center of the field, the cowboys have driven in a group of calves, and at one time more than 500 of them.
Sell in a package! The price is only about 200 yuan for each head, which is neither expensive nor cheap.
The three of them discussed it and came up with a price, but they were soon overtaken by others.
"More?" Nell asked Seliol.
Seliol opened his mouth and said, "How about another three hundred dollars?" ”
Zhang Chi had no opinion, so Nell raised his hand and shouted three hundred.
The auctioneer, who was standing in the room, saw Nell raise his hand and began to quote a new price.
After shouting a few times, seeing that there was no one in the field to add any more, he began to count the seconds.
I originally thought that this batch of calves had arrived, but who knew that the auctioneer had lifted the wooden hammer, and someone added a few hundred.
Nell stopped raising his hand at this point.
So the three of them and this group of calves missed each other again.
The whole auction process was quite fast, and this batch of calves had not yet been driven out of the empty space, and another cowboy drove another batch of calves in at the entrance on the right.
This batch of calves was of higher quality than the previous batch, and the three of them discussed it, raised their hands four times, and bought this batch of calves.
By noon, Zhang Chi and the three of them had taken down a total of two batches of calves, a total of more than 800 heads.
Now it's not much different from the number of people the three want, only two or three hundred, so after the three of them got to the outside to eat something, they no longer entered the auction hall, but went directly outside.
Zhang Chi looked at the price here, and quickly won more than 300 calves, which were of average quality, medium in quality, and slightly lower.
Nell and the others were not optimistic, but Zhang Chi looked at the cheap and became his own.
After the cattle are bought, the next thing is to load the car, with the two veterans of Nell and Serol, Zhang Chi's business is left to drive the cattle.
After negotiating the car, the cattle were driven into the car, and Zhang Chi and the three drove the car in front, and the big truck transporting the cattle followed behind.
First went to Serol's house to unload the cattle, then to Zhang Chi's house, and finally to Nell's house, and settled the account for the driver who transported the goods, and the three of them began to calculate the account.
The last more than 300 calves Qian Zhangchi paid for himself, and the calves auctioned in front of him were divided according to the number they wanted, and the good and bad matched.
After the accounts were settled, Zhang Chi gave the money he should have paid to Nell, and this trip to buy cattle was over.
"When the snow melts, let's go up and hunt for the orphans?"
Nell asked Zhang Chi, who was leaving.
"Mushroom hunting?"
We generally say that we go up the mountain to pick mushrooms, but they don't call it that, they call it hunting, like mushroom hunters, gold hunters, as long as they are picked, they are called hunters.
Seliol explained with a smile at this time: "When the snow melts, there will be mushrooms growing on the mountain, these mushrooms are very delicious, and it tastes great to make mushroom cakes, so when it is spring, everyone will go to the mountain to hunt mushrooms, if you are interested, you can go." I'm not going this time."
"I don't think I have much time, I'm going to buy some machinery in two days," Zhang Chi said.
Seliol asked curiously, "What kind of machinery to buy?" ”
Zhang Chi said: "Four-wheeled vehicles, small forklifts or something."
These things can be bought from Brother Xiaoma, but Zhang Chi bought more this time, and it is more affordable to buy directly from China, after all, he doesn't have to spend shipping and customs duties to buy them.
Nell and the others didn't ask much, so everyone went back to their respective homes to take care of the calf they had just bought.
