Outside of the wilderness jungle, somewhere in Central America, the teacher sat leisurely on the side of the street, watching the bustling pedestrians, the Spanish-style buildings, and the dazzling fruit market in front of him.

He looked laid-back and complacent, and the photographers who followed him were so anxious that they were about to smoke. After a while, Wei Ning, who was carrying the camera, came back.

In this scorching equatorial region, Wei Ning wiped the sweat on his head and said, "Disgusted, I just asked... This... There are bananas everywhere... There is no shortage of bananas, and our bananas can't be sold! ”

"Who said that?" I was a little surprised by the teacher.

"No, no, I still understand such a simple relationship between supply and demand. If you want to sell bananas, someone else needs them. But there are bananas everywhere, how can they be sold! Wei Ning groaned in despair.

"Who told you we're here to sell bananas?"

Song Wenbin spread out his hands and said elegantly: "Today we came out to buy bananas." ”

Buying bananas?

Wei Ning felt that his mind was a little overwhelmed.

Obviously, Song Wenbin talked about the cooperation with the owner of the local farm to help him sell a warehouse of bananas, but why did it turn into buying bananas again?

The other photographers also looked at each other because they were tired of the teacher's incomprehensible words, and no one knew what kind of medicine was sold in this grandfather's gourd.

But Song Wenbin had already started, he stood up, patted his butt and came to a vendor in the fruit market, found a very big stall, and asked, "Excuse me, how do you sell this banana?" ”

When the boss saw someone coming to buy fruit, he said enthusiastically: "Bananas are 1 dollar and two catties." ”

In Central America, the U.S. dollar is basically equivalent to hard currency, and this price is indeed not expensive, it can be said to be very cheap, Song Wenbin thought for a while, and asked: "If I buy a large amount, what price can you give?" ”

A lot of money?

The owner of the fruit stall casually asked, "How old is it?" ”

"All."

Song Wenbin said.

The boss of Jiao'er Langdang was stunned for a moment, turned his head fixedly, looked at the customer, looked him up and down, and said in surprise: "You're not kidding." ”

"Nope." Song Wenbin smiled and said, "If I buy them all, how can you sell them?" ”

"If you buy them all... Three pounds a dollar? ”

The boss said with some uncertainty that he had never experienced this kind of thing, what was he doing to buy so many bananas at once.

"That's the deal."

Song Wenbin said unusually cheerfully.

Yes???

The boss didn't expect such a business, he was more confused than happy, he said: "I have more than 100 pounds, ..... are you sure you want it?" ”

"Yes, I want both."

Song Wenbin said firmly: "But I don't have such a big warehouse, and I don't bring cash, so I want to ask you to transport these bananas to Bob in the south of the city when the stall is closed at night. Go to the Kerrick's farm, do you know that farm? ”

"Yes, of course I do."

The fruit stall owner looked at Song Wenbin suspiciously: "Are you serious, what did he buy so many bananas?" ”

"I didn't buy it, I bought it."

Song Wenbin said: "I'm just borrowing his warehouse temporarily, you bring the bananas over at night, and I'll pay you over there, OK?" ”

The fruit stall owner looked at Song Wenbin and was silent, he didn't know how much credibility there was in the other party's words.

However, Song Wenbin didn't care too much, and after shaking hands with the boss, he went to the next fruit stall owner with a smile on his face.

At dusk, Song Wenbin took his photographer to all the fruit stalls in the small city, and sent a request to all the fruit stall owners to buy bananas. However, most bosses scoffed at Song Wenbin's acquisition request, after all, he neither took out a deposit nor signed any agreement, but only verbally agreed to deliver the goods in the south of the city at night, which made many bosses feel that he was talking about it.

For the photographers within the team, the behavior of the tired teacher is also puzzling, the purpose of their trip is to spend 10,000 US dollars to go to the U.S.-Mexico border, but the tired teacher not only gave the money to others, but also motionless in Central America to promote bananas, this kind of thing that has nothing to do with the main line makes the photographers worried, after all, their salary and performance are linked to the shooting task, if you can't shoot the content you want to shoot, everyone's future will be more or less affected.

At night, several people stood at the gate of the farm, apparently Song Wenbin's purchase plan during the day had little effect, and after waiting for a long time, he did not see a single vendor really come to sell bananas to them.

I didn't see the fruit merchant coming, but the farmer Ke Ruike couldn't wait to come out of the courtyard with people, stood beside Song Wenbin with anticipation, and said: "I'm tired of teacher, please forgive me for my short-term impatience, but I still can't help but be curious, how many bananas have you sold today?" After all, those things will rot if they are left out for a long time. ”

Song Wenbin smiled and said, "If someone comes to us tonight, you have to prepare a start-up capital of about a few hundred dollars, can you do it?" ”

"A few hundred dollars in start-up capital?"

Krek's smile froze slightly, and he was confused, "What's that?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a creaking sound of pushing a tricycle in the distance, and there was really a fruit vendor who had seen it during the day pushing a tricycle of unsold bananas to the gate of the farm. Song Wenbin was overjoyed when he saw this, and quickly asked several photographers to put down their work and help the farmer push the cart.

The farmer saw someone coming with a cart of bananas and was a little confused.

"There's 270 pounds here... According to the daytime, it should be 90 dollars...", the vendor said to Song Wenbin as he wiped the sweat from his head.

After listening to the fruit merchant's words, Kerek's face changed, but fortunately, he still maintained some demeanor, but just stared at Song Wenbin and didn't speak.

Song Wenbin pulled him aside and explained: "This is my customized solution for you, in this case, I will pretend to be a Taiwanese businessman, because of the improvement of banana varieties, so I will come to Central America to collect bananas." And you helped me out of business friendship, helping me stock up on bananas and at the same time, helping me pay. ”

"What??"

Korrick was stunned, and he was shocked: "God forbid, I invited you here to sell bananas!" It's not a banana! Damn, enough bananas in my warehouse!! And you're still buying it!! You even count on me to pay for it!! Do you think I'm crazy!? ”

In the face of Ke Ruik's doubts and anger, Song Wenbin seemed calm, he explained coldly: "Any business needs investment, you have to take risks, now you have enough bananas in the city, if there is no accident, your warehouse of bananas will not be able to sell until they are rotten, do you think I am reasonable?" ”

Although Kerrick was angry, as a businessman, he still kept his senses, and just after a little thought, he understood that Song Wenbin was indeed telling the truth.

"Yes, you're right, but didn't you say you could help me solve the problem, and what's going on with buying it back..."Kerrick was speechless: "Don't you think there are enough bananas?" How can it be sold? ”

"I'm helping you out, bananas, as fruits and food, are definitely surplus and worthless. Unless you can give it other attributes, a banana can only be a banana. ”

Song Wenbin leaned into Kerrick's ear and whispered quietly.

The marvelous voice and deep voice drilled into Kerrick's brain, causing him to shiver and get goosebumps. He turned his head sideways and looked at the man who came out of the show, it stands to reason that he wouldn't easily trust anyone he just met, but this guy was completely restrained by ordinary people, and he couldn't see the slightest sign of lying.

"Giving other attributes... What is that property...? He stammered.

“Well～”

The teacher smiled slightly, twisted his fingers, and said happily: "Naturally, it is endowed with the attributes that everyone desires~"

Krik was silent, the other party's demeanor and elegant and calm tone made his heart sway unconsciously, indeed, according to the ordinary way, the banana will only rot in the warehouse. But if he could believe in this foreign monk, would there be a miracle?

"Believe me, you only have this one chance, if everything goes well, I can guarantee that all your investments today will be recovered in the future with several times the profit." Seeing that he was still swaying, the teacher continued to add fuel to the fire.

"Are you sure?"

"Sure and sure."

The teacher said sincerely.

After a moment of silence, Kerrick asked, "What should I do?" ”

"In the next few days, I will be buying bananas in the city, and the prices will be higher and higher day by day. And what you have to do is very simple, on the one hand, help me pay, and on the other hand, bite to death There is a rich Taiwanese businessman who needs a lot of bananas because he needs to improve the banana variety, and this demand is unlimited. ”

Krek was finally moved, the nature of a businessman made him keenly grasp a certain possibility, and he looked at the young man in front of him, and there seemed to be some kind of dim fire burning silently in the eyes of the other party.

"Okay."

……

After making the decision, Bob. Kerrick helped Song Wenbin pay the $90 banana money and bought 270 catties of bananas.

In the market, news spreads like lightning, and the vendor who easily sold nearly 300 kilograms of bananas yesterday made a few dozen dollars, which made others who did not believe Song Wenbin sigh.

But the opportunity soon came again, and the next day, Song Wenbin continued to buy bananas in the small city.

With the previous acquisition, this time Song Wenbin's acquisition became extremely easy, and soon, he persuaded more than a dozen merchants to buy as many as more than 1,000 dollars of bananas that night.

On this day, the growers in the fruit market were overjoyed, and in the evening, they gathered in the pub to drink, amazed at what happened during the day, and they could not understand why there was a big injustice to buy bananas here.

At this point, a message from the tavern owner explained why.

It turns out that on the other side of the ocean, in Taiwan, because its native bananas cannot be exported because they contain parasites, a well-known fruit merchant is buying bananas to improve the genes of local bananas.

This news dispelled everyone's doubts, and everyone was emotionally engaged in the business of buying bananas, after all, they can sell bananas at a value far greater than their own, and such a good thing is not happening every day.

On the third day, the purchase continued, and on this day, due to the previous purchase, the number of bananas also decreased briefly, and the price of bananas began to rise, soon from $1 3 catties to $1 2 catties.

But even so, the mysterious Oriental merchant still did not refuse, and even took the initiative to raise the price of bananas from 1 US dollar and 2 catties to 1 US dollar and 1 catty on the fourth day.

Such an unusual move caused an uproar in this remote town, and bananas have never been sold at such a high price since many people can remember.

People began to collect bananas and sell them to the merchant from the East. But more shrewd fruit stall traders saw a pattern.

Sure enough, on the fifth day, the price of bananas rose to $1.5 a catty, which was unimaginable for many people. Strangely, even though Song Wenbin's team collected bananas at the market for $1.5 a catty, they didn't harvest many bananas at the end of the day.

On the sixth day, he began to buy bananas in the market for two dollars a catty, and this time, he bought even fewer bananas.

Instead, as the wind dispersed, many locals knew the news of the local banana strange goods, and they were all watching and waiting.

And the people who sold out of bananas in the first place were even more annoyed, no one knew that bananas would continue to rise after they sold them.

Because of unwillingness, perhaps also out of the need for profit, gradually, some people approached Kerrick and tried to buy some bananas from him.

At first, it was just a relative of Kryk, but soon, more and more passers-by and local businessmen joined the consultation.

Kryk was struck by such an incredible development, and he had never seen such outrageous marketing tactics in half a century of his life. If he was tired of the teacher's action, he still had strong doubts about this man, but looking at the current stream of local bigwigs who privately asked about the price of bananas, his inner reverence undoubtedly reached its peak.

"It's amazing... It's amazing... How did you do it..."After a large local farmer bought 500 kilograms of bananas for $2 a catty, Curryk invited Mr. Wei to the living room and respectfully served him a cigar.

Song Wenbin thought to himself that he was far from the big businessmen in his hometown, and he didn't do anything, just used a small routine, to blame this small city for being too closed and not seeing the world.

"After that, I will continue to raise the price, and those people will continue to wait and see, continue to hoard, but in about three days, the shelf life of bananas will reach the limit, and there will only be three days left for you to ship, understand?" He told this boss in detail.

"Of course, of course! Your words are like music. Kerrick exclaimed, "I will definitely do what you ask." ”

Song Wenbin shrugged indifferently, he stretched out his hand: "I have fulfilled your request, can you give me the reward?" ”

"Of course, of course!"

Kerrick hurriedly took out a full thousand dollars and stuffed it into Song Wenbin's hand.

Song Wenbin counted the money and frowned: "That's not right, we said okay 500 dollars, why are you giving me so much?" ”

"You're amazing!"

"I have a nephew who is doing great things and hears about it, and he also wants to ask you for a favor, so please don't refuse." ”

"Huh?"

The teacher looked up and chuckled in his heart.
