Chapter 70: Unscrupulous Merchants?
"Business is sluggish?" Ling Feng was slightly stunned, but he was also relieved.
After all, not everyone can seize every opportunity accurately like him, and there are even many times when you are not careful, you will lose your fortune.
"Looking at your dress, the family environment should be very good, you can't feel the sadness of our poor people."
The middle-aged man sighed, but the words he said were a little bitter.
Some people, as soon as they are born, have already stood at the end of others, and only need a little effort to reach heights that are difficult for others to struggle for a lifetime.
And the suit on Ling Feng's body was not cheap at first glance, and the middle-aged man naturally classified Ling Feng into this ranks.
Ling Feng looked at the clothes on his body, and then smiled self-deprecatingly.
"Hey, big brother, you are mistaken, I was not born into a rich family, and my father died when I was very young, it was my mother who worked hard to bring me up, and the clothes on my body were left by my father before his death."
The middle-aged man obviously didn't expect Ling Feng's life experience to be like this, and his face couldn't help but show a trace of guilt.
"I'm sorry."
"It's okay, I've been used to it for a long time, but I've made a little money with luck now, and life is still not quite good, but you, uncle, it's better to talk about your situation, maybe I can help you come up with ideas?" Ling Feng smiled indifferently,
This kind of thing, Ling Feng had already let go of it in his previous life, let alone now.
Perhaps it was because Ling Feng's experience made middle-aged people let go of their prejudices and become much less wary.
Therefore, at this time, Ling Feng asked again, and the middle-aged man also sighed, and then told his own affairs.
It turned out that the middle-aged man's name was Wang Yongqing, and a few years ago he had a whim and wanted to do some business, so he and his younger brother at home set up a grain store, mainly selling rice and other grains.
At first, they had such a grain store here, so the business was quite prosperous, and although the family's income was nothing, it was also very stable, and even their lives became much better.
However, in recent years, more and more businesses have been doing business in the surrounding area, and even convenience stores and the like, and the limitations of their food stores have suddenly been reflected.
So much so that now there are no more people in their store.
If this development continues, then they will not be able to continue to maintain the expenditure of the grain store, and they will have to choose to close the grain store.
As a result, the family's source of income was cut off.
"I see." After listening to this, Ling Feng nodded thoughtfully.
To be honest, Ling Feng doesn't pay much attention to the current food industry, but food, as a pillar of life, naturally has an irreplaceable role.
"Well, why don't you take me to your grain store?" Ling Feng thought about it, but he didn't know how to give Wang Yongqing advice.
After all, Ling Feng hadn't actually seen the current sales situation, and he didn't know what the difference was from his impression.
"This ...... It's okay too. ”
Wang Yongqing naturally didn't think that Ling Feng could really give him any useful advice, after all, Ling Feng looked too young, and even if he had achieved something, it was impossible for him to be proficient in everything.
Especially selling food, it will not be touched.
But with the idea of treating a dead horse as a live horse doctor, it can't be worse now anyway, so Wang Yongqing didn't refuse, and walked towards his grain store with Ling Feng.
Wang Yongqing's grain store was not very far, just a nearby storefront along the street, Ling Feng followed Wang Yongqing for less than ten minutes before coming to Wang Yongqing's grain store.
"Yongqing Grain Store."
Ling Feng looked up at the signboard, which had some traces of age, and casually recited the name of the store.
Walking into the store, the furnishings are very simple, with wooden square troughs neatly stacked on the wall, and the inside is filled with rice and the like.
It's just that the store is very deserted at this time, and after Ling Feng walked in, he only saw a middle-aged woman sitting behind the counter, with faint wrinkles in the corners of her eyes, and she also had a little sadness at this time.
"Wife, I'm back."
As soon as Wang Yongqing entered the door, he shouted to the woman behind the counter.
When the woman saw Ling Feng who was following Wang Yongqing, she quickly covered her sadness, squeezed out a smile on her face and said, "There are guests coming, you wait, I'll make you some tea." ”
After speaking, he was about to get up and clean up, but was stopped by Ling Feng.
"It's okay eldest sister, I just followed Brother Wang to take a look, I won't stay long, you don't have to bother."
"This ......" The middle-aged woman looked at Wang Yongqing, and when she saw him nodding, she could only give up: "Okay." ”
Ling Fengjing walked in front of the rice trough and lowered his head to look at the rice inside.
"Is this the kind of rice sold around here?" Ling Feng pointed to the rice in front of him and asked Wang Yongqing.
Wang Yongqing nodded.
"Well, the buyers on our side are basically the same, and there is not much difference."
After all, retailers like them are all looking for the same manufacturer to supply, and few people go out alone to find a source of goods.
After getting the answer, Ling Feng didn't ask any more questions, but lowered his head, grabbed a small handful of rice from the rice trough, first put it in his hand and rubbed it, and then ate some more.
Although the entrance is a little dry and hard, the taste is okay, and it doesn't look like there is any quality problem.
But just as Ling Feng was about to take a look at other things, he found that in the rice trough, where Ling Feng had pinched with his hand just now, something similar to wheat bran was revealed.
Ling Feng frowned and took it out of the rice trough, only to find that it was exactly as he expected.
"Huh?"
This made Ling Feng can't help but have a thought in his heart, could it be that the business of this shop is not good, because it is mixed with these things in the rice?
In order to confirm, Ling Feng rummaged through the rice trough with his hand a few times again, and found that sure enough, below, these things not only did not decrease, but became more dense.
"What's going on?" Ling Feng was in a bit unhappy at this time.
He thought that the couple was the victim, but looking at it like this, how did he feel that they were cheating on others again.
For this kind of unscrupulous businessman, not to mention that business is sluggish, even if he is bankrupt, Ling Feng will not feel any surprise.
"This ...... Any questions? ”
However, in the face of Ling Feng's questioning, the couple not only did not have the panic of being caught doing something wrong, but looked at Ling Feng with an incredulous expression.
