"Forward, you know a lot of people, help me ask which country has the cheapest food. It's easy to buy. ”

Speaking of this, Qian Guotai hesitated for a few seconds, and finally gritted his teeth, "We have also thought about finding a capital country to buy, but in order to avoid being troubled by polar bears, we may need you and other friends who are willing to help to come forward." ”

Chu Xiangqian said with a smile, "It's easy to say anything if you give money." ”

Qian Guotai didn't say anything this time, "As long as you can get it back, you and other friends will definitely not be able to lose money." ”

This is obvious, don't let others lose money, but don't think about making money.

Chu Xiangqian has no opinion on this, and it is really unreasonable to make the difference in the price of grain at this time.

And after these two years, the future returns will definitely not be less.

Looking at the long-term truth, Chu Xiangqian naturally understands.

Even he believed that there must be many people like himself, who were entrusted and asked for help from above, and would rather post upside down than make money from the Celestial Empire.

In fact, there are many examples, and Mr. Fok from Hong Kong Island is one of them.

Chu Qianqian nodded in agreement and said, "Don't worry, as long as you give money, you can follow up and say, I will complete the task of at least 100,000 tons alone." ”

Chu Xiangqian also said this after serious consideration.

Since he could have provided 90,000 tons of grain for the Celestial Empire, 1 percent of 1.5 million tons was 150,000 tons.

That's 60,000 tons more than before.

No, Chu Xiangqian thought about it carefully, this is not how the accounts are calculated.

It's late June, and it's only half a year by the end of the year.

In other words, 93,360 tons of grain a year can only be completed half.

In the past six months, I still have to get 55,000 tons of grain.

Chu Xiangqian secretly said that it was good that he only said 100,000 tons, and if he stupidly accepted the task amount of 2 percent or 30 percent.

Keeping it can be overwhelming.

Qian Guotai was overjoyed, 100,000 tons, which is already 6.66% of the total task.

If he really did it, the work pressure of other people would be much less.

After separating from Qian Guotai, Chu Xiangqian silently thought that the easiest people to get food were Linda's father.

But to be honest, 0.22 Hong Kong dollars a pound of rice is indeed a bit expensive.

The dried sweet potatoes that the rice fish got from Luzon Island are only 8 cents a catty.

For people who don't have enough to eat, there is not much difference between rice and dried sweet potatoes.

Chu Xiangqian suddenly had the idea of meeting the big grain merchant on Luzon Island in person.

It's just that as soon as this idea came out, he quickly rejected it.

Since you can buy rice fish, why do you have to come forward and find something to do for yourself?

Subsequently, he was a little unoptimistic about the fact that the Celestial Empire wanted to buy 1.5 million tons of grain at the end of the year.

Judging from the news I have seen in my previous life, it seems that the countries in the world that can export a large amount of grain are the United States, Canada, Argentina, and Russia.

The red polar bears don't have a chance on their own, and if they want to, they can ask them themselves.

On the contrary, because of the camp, it is basically impossible to buy food from rice and Canada.

But it seems that the grain in rice is the cheapest.

No, maybe an Australian kangaroo should be added.

Chu Xiangqian thought about it, found a phone booth, and called the newspaper office to ask Fei Fei to quietly check whether the newspaper office had any reports on this.

After returning to the newspaper office, as soon as I entered the office, not only Fei Fei was there, but also Aiyuan, this little girl.

Seeing Chu Qianqian, Ai Yuan took a daily newspaper on the economy, walked up quickly and whispered, "Brother, this is the price of wheat in the United States, Canada and Australia Kangaroo this year. ”

Chu Qianqian took a look and saw that the forward grain futures of the United States were $2 per bushel last month.

It is 0.172 pounds when converted to Celestial Coins, and 0.148 pounds per pound when converted to Hong Kong dollars.

The price of flour in the domestic supply and marketing cooperatives of the Celestial Empire is 0.18 Celestial Dynasty coins, and considering the cost of grinding wheat into flour, the price of flour between the two countries is actually about the same.

Of course, this does not include food stamps.

But at the national level, food stamps are just proof of purchase, not money.

Only in the eyes of individuals, food stamps are money.

After reading it, Chu Xiangqian secretly cursed that the rice he bought from Odisha was 0.22 Hong Kong dollars per catty, which was a difference of 48%.

In other words, with the same money, half of the grain bought from the rice country will be exhausted.

However, there is a difference between buying rice from Odisha and wheat from rice.

But in general, it is definitely more cost-effective to go to the rice country to buy wheat.

It's just that after seeing the price in Canada, Chu Xiangqian's glasses lit up again.

It is actually 0.1 US dollars per bushel cheaper than that of the United States, almost 0.14 Hong Kong dollars per catty.

Ai Yuan took the opportunity to say, "Brother, I found a report from last year in the newspaper database, saying that the surplus of grain from the United States and Canada the year before last has reached a record new peak.

Many local ranchers in the country simply raise beef cattle directly with oats or barley. ”

Chu Qianqian nodded, but he knew in his heart that he definitely didn't feed cattle with oats or barley since he was a child.

Instead, before the beef cattle are about to be slaughtered, they use grain to fatten, so as to sell them at a better price and better taste.

It's just like the ancient war horses can only grow fat by eating more soybeans and wheat.

But the media report will not be written in such detail, but in the eyes of the discerning person, it is impossible to think about it.

Otherwise, the price of beef cattle in the United States will definitely be several times higher than now. This is simply not realistic.

But just one month of fattening, a lot of food was consumed.

If you go to Canada to buy futures wheat that expires next month, 100,000 tons of wheat will cost 28 million Hong Kong dollars.

If all 1.5 million tons are bought in Canada, it will only cost 420 million Hong Kong dollars.

This is 240 million less than the previous estimate of 660 million.

If you change to yourself, you will definitely talk to Canada.

But Chu Xiangqian knew that if the Celestial Empire was going to talk about it in the name of the official, this matter would definitely drag on for a long time.

First of all, if you want to avoid the embargo of the Celestial Empire, you have to transport the grain from Canada to a third country before you can transport it back to the Celestial Empire.

I don't know how long it will take to negotiate just how to transfer and transfer to that country.

Coupled with the payment method, it is not something that can be negotiated in ten days and half a month.

And the negotiation, once he showed eagerness, Chu Xiangqian didn't have to think about it, he knew that the Canada side would definitely take the opportunity to raise the price without losing face.

If it is known by the people of the United States, it will be more troublesome.

It is not surprising that it has not been negotiated until next year.

But the hungry people of the Celestial Empire really can't wait that long.

Chu Xiangqian sighed helplessly, and secretly said that the 100,000 tons of grain he promised was enough to be worthy of his conscience.

casually put the price list in his pocket, and then looked at Aiyuan with a strange face.

After looking at Aiyuan inexplicably, his face was slightly red, and then he said with a smile, "Yes, I just called back and wanted Fei Fei to check the information, and you can immediately know what I'm thinking." ”

Aiyuan Bai glanced at Chu Qianqian, "Brother, I've also been hungry, I can't guess this, isn't that a fool?" ”

Fei Fei on the side glanced at Aiyuan after hearing this, she really just thought that Chu Xiangqian just wanted to ask about the price.

In the mouth of Aiyuan, he became a fool.

was secretly scolding in his heart, when the brother and sister were not good people, he heard Chu Xiangqian say with a smile, "Regarding the decoration of the house, have you decided which decoration company to find?" ”

When Ai Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but smile on his face.

After he and his sister-in-law took a fancy to a house at noon the day before yesterday, the eldest brother went to see it in the afternoon and bought it on the spot for 40,000 Hong Kong dollars.

And this morning, I have already obtained the deed issued by the local office, and my name is written on it.

Just thinking that he owed his eldest brother 20,000 yuan, Aiyuan was happy at the same time, and hurriedly asked, "You don't care about the decoration."

My sister-in-law and I can't do this well, how can we help you in the future? ”

Chu Xiangqian also asked, since Aiyuan was reluctant to say, he naturally wouldn't worry about decoration anymore.

And there is no need to guess, Aiyuan must be looking for a company that doesn't spend much money to decorate the new house.

Chu Xiangqian thought of this, but he was not at ease.

If the decoration materials are not selected well, the harm to the body is still great.

Picked up the phone and called Wrinkle Huai, before the film company moved to Baofeng Building, I looked for a decoration company.

Leave this matter to Wrinkle Huai, and the custody will be done properly.

After hanging up the phone, Chu Xiangqian looked at Aiyuan and said, "Someone will help you with the decoration." ”

Aiyuan opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

Say no, it seems that you are duplicitous.

nodded directly and thanked him, and felt that it was a little inappropriate to always take advantage of the eldest brother.

After thinking about it, he could only nod his head and say yes, and at the same time, he changed the topic and asked, "Brother, when will the bamboo you said arrive in Hong Kong?" ”

Chu Xiangqian thought about it, and the cargo ship carrying 5,250 tons of grain set off today and arrived at Jinmen Port in 4 days.

During the three-day stop, 20,000 bicycles, 10,000 radios, 10,000 watches and 2,000 sewing machines were unloaded.

It will sail back to Hong Kong Island, and it will take another 4 days.

"About ten days. During this time, if you are free, go to Sanjiangshui and ask him to familiarize you with the 7 vegetable markets here in Kowloon.

While the weather is still very hot, bamboo mats, bamboo beds and other things should sell very well.

However, you have to understand the prices here first, and then set the price yourself. ”

Aiyuan has been a salesperson in a supply and marketing cooperative for half a year, and I still have some experience and experience in how to buy things.

Of course, the salesperson of the supply and marketing cooperatives actually don't have to worry about not being able to sell things at all, and for newcomers, it can't have the effect of exercising.

But compared to a novice who doesn't know anything, Aiyuan at least doesn't have a little confidence in selling things.

To put it bluntly, when the quality is about the same, the price is cheaper, and the price is faster.

The purchase price of this batch of bamboo products should be much cheaper than that of local bamboo products on Hong Kong Island.

Chu Xiangqian doesn't care, anyway, it's only a few thousand yuan now, and there will be tens of thousands of businesses in the future.

Looking at his watch, it was almost noon, "Let's go, take you and Fei Fei to eat tiger meat." ”

Fei Fei hurriedly began to clean up, then carried a lady's bag, pulled Aiyuan and said as she walked, "Aid, the braised tiger meat in the backbone old store is delicious."

There is also casserole tiger hand rice, I heard that it takes a whole night to stew tiger hand before it becomes soft and rotten. ”

Ai Yuan was stunned, "Sister-in-law, what is the tiger hand?" ”

Chu Xiangqian, who was walking in front, laughed after hearing this.

Seeing that Fei Fei was also inexplicable, he turned around and said, "It's the tiger's paw, and the pig's trotters are called pig's hands here." Tiger grasping is naturally a tiger hand. ”

After Aiyuan understood, he couldn't help but look forward to it.

When he got to the backbone, seeing that at half past eleven, the lobby on the first floor was full of customers, and Chu Xiangqian took Fei Fei and Aiyuan to the second floor.

Entering the private room that was never open to the public, Duan Hongchun also heard the news and walked in.

"Chu Sheng."

After greeting Chu Qianqian, Duan Hongchun nodded with Fei Fei and Ai Yuan.

Chu Qianqian ordered two of his favorite dishes, and handed the menu to Fei Fei and Aiyuan.

He said to Duan Hongchun, "How many of the 60 sika deer sold last month?" ”

Speaking of this, Duan Hongchun couldn't help but smile from ear to ear, "41 have already been sold." You don't come here today, and I'm going to talk to you about it in the next two days after you have a few days of rest. ”

Chu Qianqian nodded, "I'll ask someone to send another 60 heads over when I go back, so that I don't have to go to London in a few days, and forget about it if I have something." ”

After speaking, he pointed to Aiyuan and said, "This matter is my own sister, and you will hand over the accounts to her in the future." There's so much going on on my side that I can't keep myself busy. ”

Duan Hongchun glanced at Ai Yuan a few times, and then looked at Chu Xiangqian, after making sure that he was not joking.

That's when I greeted Ai Aid warmly.

Aiyuan is happy in my heart, and I can finally help my eldest brother.

And Chu Xiangqian let Aiyuan manage the backbone of the settlement, first, he really didn't want to take care of such a trivial matter.

The second is that the sika deer and tigers sold to the restaurant every month have all accounts.

You just need to come and check the accounts.

Even the accounts, in fact, the accountants of the law firm will sort them out every month for Chu Qianqian.

Let Aiyuan take over this matter, which can be regarded as cultivating her.

After Duan Hongchun and Aiyuan were polite.

I secretly thought in my heart, it seems that I have to call Chu Xiangqian often or something, lest he get busy and really forget to replenish the sika deer and tiger to the restaurant.

I also talked about the Causeway Bay branch, and Fei Fei and Ai Yuan also ordered 2 dishes and a soup.

Duan Hongchun hurriedly ordered people to go to the back kitchen to place an order.

It only took five or six minutes for the first course to be served.

Duan Hongchun got up and went out at this time, so as not to think of Chu Xiangqian eating.

Unexpectedly, when Chu Xiangqian, Fei Fei and Aiyuan finished lunch and took the two of them to walk on the stairs on the second floor, they saw the three dressed in Chinese-style running hall attire at a glance.

The three who only joined the backbone yesterday, seeing that the ten-day period that Chu Xiangqian said was only 3 days, he naturally kept an eye on the situation in the restaurant.

As soon as Chu Xiangqian stopped, the three had already noticed him, Fei Fei, and Aiyuan.

However, this kid didn't know Aiyuan, and at the end of last year, he saw the patriotic side in the vegetable market.

Seeing that there were two charming little girls standing beside Chu Xiangqian, the eyeballs of those three eyes almost burst out.

It's not that he has thoughts about Fei Fei and Aiyuan, but this kid has seen Lan Lan.

Before, Chu Xiangqian was still in his hand and planned to buy a bicycle ticket, and at that time, the three had seen Xiao Lan'er waiting on the street.

Seeing that Chu Xiangqian obviously had another girlfriend in the capital, after running to Hong Kong Island, he actually hooked up with two little girls.

A few seconds later, the three rejected the idea again.
