Chapter 308 Damn it, I’m really going to get rich this time!
The third month of the lunar calendar.
Deng Shirong drove his motorcycle to Shahe Town. He came here to talk to the locals about the purchase of pineapples.
Deng Shirong’s expenses this year will be larger than in any previous year. The first is the 30 acres of land in Nanning Chaoyang Square. The design has now been completed. The contract amount he signed with the Provincial Architectural Design Institute is 3.68 million yuan.
Although it can be settled according to the progress of the project and does not need to be paid in one lump sum, the money should not be able to escape this year.
In addition, Deng Shirong also wants to buy a Santana car for his eldest son this year, so he needs a budget of 200,000 yuan, which adds up to 3.88 million yuan.
At present, the second and third floors of the Suifeng Hotel in the county are being renovated. The eldest son has the money for the renovation, but when the renovation is completed and the purchase of goods begins, a large amount of money will be needed.
Now, he only has more than 2.15 million in cash, and the funding gap is still very large. Naturally, he needs to make plans early to get more money.
Maoqing Farm, like Baiping Farm, is a reclamation farm run by the autonomous region. It is also the farm with the highest longan output in Shiqia, with an annual longan output of more than 200 tons.
What surprised him was that there was no billiards manufacturer in Guangxi in this era. Moreover, after asking, he found that the sales price of the billiard table probably exceeded his previous estimate. If the billiard table was bought back at this price, then this billiard hall would There is no profit at all from driving it.
This price is actually the same as that of Baiping Farm. The previous purchase price of Baiping Farm was 0.29 yuan/jin. After two consecutive years, the price this year has increased by one point.
Then in October 1980, Gaodi Street was officially opened as the first industrial products market in Guangzhou, and also became the country's first self-employed clothing market. Its flexible business methods and trendy clothing styles attracted people from all over the country. Travelers and traders from all over.
…
If Deng Shirong acquires wooden pineapples, he will naturally not sell them in Brother Province, but intends to sell them further away together with local pineapples.
Deng Shirong understood immediately. This was because the other party wanted to see how much he could earn by being a middleman and whether it was worth the time.
Deng Shirong smiled and said: "I'm driving, so I can't drink. Boss Ding drinks yours, and it won't affect our business discussions."
Ding Qiang said politely again: "Boss Deng, let's have something together before we leave!"
Since this is the first time to purchase goods, the four of them are inexperienced, so they plan to go together.
At this time, Ding Qiang and his two sons were drinking at home. When they were feeling comfortable, they suddenly heard the sound of a motorcycle outside.
Deng Silong has been running this route in Guangzhou for a year and a half. Although he doesn't have much time to visit Guangzhou, he is already familiar with the area around the station and has interacted with Guangzhou locals. Naturally, he knows Gao Street.
“No need, I have something to do here, so I’ll leave first.”
Deng Shirong naturally doesn't care about this. After all, he sells products at seven or eight times the price. The price change of one or two cents is completely negligible to him.
However, Deng Shirong guessed that Ding Qiang was just acting as a middleman to make a profit, and the price others gave him should be in the range of 14 to 15 cents.
March of the lunar calendar is the season when bayberries mature. However, the number of bayberries planted in the water chestnut area is very small, so there is no need to bother.
When they came to the county to open a clothing store, they chose to run it as a partnership rather than working individually.
After reaching a cooperation with Maoqing Farm, Deng Shirong declined the farm’s invitation and left in style on his motorcycle.
Then, Deng Shirong began to inquire about information and prepared to contact the billiard table manufacturer and reserve a batch of billiard tables.
Now, the purchase price given by Boss Deng is two points higher than that of the boss in Guangdong. If the output of pineapples this year is as high as last year, then his income can be doubled compared to last year. Of course he was excited about the pie-in-the-sky good thing.
Next, Deng Changyuan and others took a car to Gaodi Street.
After breakfast, Deng Changyuan said: "Okay, Aaron, go back and rest quickly, we have to do some work too!"
Ou Guohua smiled and said: "I happen to be hungry, don't talk so much, let's go eat quickly!"
Seeing the brand new Jialing 70 motorcycle parked in front of his house, Ding Qiang couldn't help but look envious in his eyes. Although he also bought a motorcycle, what he bought was the Xingfu 250 motorcycle, which was cheaper than the Jialing 70. More than half.
After finishing these things, Deng Shirong took time to visit Nanning.
Deng Shirong left Lingjiao and returned to Shahewei, where he ate a bowl of rice noodles and then drove his motorcycle towards Maoqing Farm in Wendi Town.
Of course, it is only March now, and it is not the season for pineapples to mature yet. Deng Shirong came here early just to find a suitable local person, give him some profit margin, and entrust him to help purchase pineapples.
Don’t underestimate these two cents. The output of wood pineapples in Lingjiao is very high, and their village is the village with the highest production of wood pineapples in Lingjiao. Just like last year, the output of wood pineapples in their village exceeded 300 tons. He brought in more than twelve thousand dollars.
Therefore, when Deng Changyuan and others got off the bus, Deng Silong smiled and said: "Uncle Ayuan, Aunt Ayuan, Uncle Adong, and Aunt Adong, it's your first time in Guangzhou. I'll take you to have breakfast first. It's from Guangzhou." The breakfast is very good, especially the rice rolls, which I think are particularly delicious. ”
It is said that Guangdong and Guangxi belong to the same family, especially when it comes to food. The tastes are really very similar. The rice rolls that are so popular in Guangdong are naturally suitable for the tastes of most people in Guangxi.
In the countryside of this era, people with a slightly more flexible mind are already worth 10,000 Yuan per household.
Deng Silong laughed, and then he and the people following the car took Deng Changyuan and others to a rice roll restaurant near the station to eat rice rolls.
As a famous fruit merchant in Lingjiao Realm, Ding Qiang is undoubtedly a smart man with a flexible mind. He started buying various seasonal fruits in the village four years ago and then resold them to earn the price difference. This behavior is naturally nothing nowadays. , but four years ago that would have required taking a lot of risks.
Deng Changdong asked: "What kind of rice roll is this rice roll? Why does the name sound weird?"
Ding Qiang did not directly answer whether he was willing, but asked with a smile: "Boss Deng, I wonder what price you want to buy it at?"
So Deng Shirong immediately gave up the immature idea of opening a billiards hall.
After taking a look at the motorcycle, Ding Qiang asked: "Biao, who are you looking for?"
With the deposit of one thousand yuan, Ding Qiang felt reassured. After all, no one in this era could joke with a thousand yuan, so this business must be too real.
Most of the villagers are willing to sell the fruit to him. After all, it is sold to the supply and marketing cooperative at the same price, and it is sold to him at the same price. So why should the villagers look far away?
Deng Shirong is already familiar with cooperating with farms. He contacted the farm director and explained his intention, and the two parties negotiated the purchase price.
Next, the four of them tried to enter some shops to ask for prices.
The four of them have also inquired about a lot of clothing prices in the county during this time. For example, the price of jeans. A pair of jeans in the county costs 25 to 28 yuan, but the wholesale price here is so cheap that they can't believe it.
Moreover, Boss Deng has made it very clear that he will buy as much as he can from the other party. In this case, he is not limited to buying in the village, but can also go to other villages to buy. By then, it will be a total explosion of a thousand tons. no problem.
Hence, Ding Qiang is relatively free during this period. He has no other hobbies but likes to drink a few drinks. He has made a lot of money in the past few years and has achieved freedom of eating and drinking.
Then, the four "country bumpkins" were completely stunned by the scene in front of them.
At 8:30 in the morning, Deng Changyuan and the others arrived at the famous Gaodi Street.
I saw a swarm of people here. Many people were carrying large and small bags. There were people bargaining in every shop. There were people making deals all the time. There were even people who didn't care about the style of clothing, as long as the price was right, they would buy it.
The visitor was none other than Deng Shirong. He smiled and asked, "Biao, I'm here to see Boss Ding Qiang. Is this Boss Ding's home?"
Now the clothing store has been rented, and the location has been chosen in Xinshi Alley. This alley is connected to Xinglong Road at one end and the main street at the other. It is also a very popular place.
No matter what era you are in, there will always be a shortage of smart people.
Since Deng Shirong plans to make more money this year, he will naturally have to purchase some longan. The profit of this thing is still very high.
…
Just thinking about it made him excited! !
Since my son and daughter-in-law will be busy opening a supermarket next time, this third floor will be left empty for now, or used as a warehouse for the supermarket, and then we can build it later when we have suitable projects.
The driver of the car this time was Deng Silong from Hengkou Village. Hengkou Village is connected with Naye Village and Yangdipo Village, so they are naturally very familiar with each other.
Before coming to Ding Qiang, Deng Shirong had already found out clearly that the current market price of wood pineapples is 25 cents per catty, and the purchase price offered by the supply and marketing cooperative is 121 cents. Ding Qiang also purchased the same for the villagers last year. price.
After all, this era is not that of later generations. Competition among source manufacturers is extremely fierce. If you open a large supermarket, you don’t have to pay for the goods at all. When the manufacturer gets the news, they will send the goods over and let you sell them and then check out. .
Since 1983, Gaudi Street has entered its heyday. In addition to the local citizens of Guangzhou, the people who come to buy shirts and trousers are also clothing wholesalers from all over the country.
The main producing areas of Bobaimu pineapples are in Shahe, Longtan, Songwang, and Dongping townships, especially Lingjiao in Shahe Town (Lingjiao area is still under the jurisdiction of Shahe Town, and it will not be merged with Shuangwang, Shuangfeng, Dam, Shahe Town until next year. Pi and other townships became independent together) have the highest yield and best quality of wood pineapples.
After arriving at Shahewei, Deng Shirong asked someone for directions, and then drove the much-anticipated motorcycle towards the water chestnut realm.
“Okay, let’s walk slowly!” …
…
Deng Changyuan smiled and said: "This is your territory. Since you said this rice roll is delicious, let's go and try it together."
In the end, Deng Shirong reached a cooperation with Maoqing Farm at a price of 0.3 yuan/jin.
Ding Qiang said nonchalantly: "Boss Deng, just drink less while driving. It doesn't matter."
It was just dawn when we arrived in Guangzhou.
As for the two children of Deng Changdong and Ou Guofang, it is relatively simple. Deng Changdong is the eldest son of the family, and his younger brother is not married yet. Naturally, his parents and younger siblings will help take care of his children at home.
Ding Qiang nodded and said: "I am Ding Qiang, who are you, Biao? Do you have anything to do with me?"
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Deng Shirong finally arrived at Maoqing Farm.
The traffic control in the county in this era is naturally incomparable with that of later generations. There is no such thing as checking for drunk driving, especially for motorcycles. Now they don’t even check the driver’s license (there are not many vehicles in the county combined, just check^_ ^), basically it was only after the 1990s that we started to check this kind of thing.
As for what price Ding Qiang would resell it for after acquiring it, I don’t know.
Deng Shirong said straight to the point: "It's like this. I want to buy pineapples from your water chestnut area. I know that you are a local fruit merchant, so I want to ask you to buy it for me. I wonder if you are willing, Boss Ding?"
Deng Shirong bought the wooden pineapples to sell them to distant provinces. He didn't care about the price difference. In order to make the other party work hard for him, he directly gave him a very high price and said: "Boss Ding, this wooden pineapple is sold to distant provinces." You and I both know the market price of pineapples and the purchase price of supply and marketing cooperatives, so I will not bargain with you. I will directly give you a price of 16 cents per catty. I guarantee that you will make a profit, and I will buy as much as you can buy. ”
This wood pineapple is a famous fruit king in the south. The climate and soil of Bobai County are very suitable for the growth of wood pineapple. It has been widely planted among the people as early as the early Tang Dynasty. According to the book "Guangxi Traditional Food", Bobai wood pineapple The output is the first among all counties in Guangxi.
So, Ding Qiang really doesn’t have the safety awareness to drink and not drive.
Seeing that the other party really had no intention of drinking, Ding Qiang did not force himself. He invited Deng Shirong to sit down and asked, "Boss Deng, what business do you want to discuss with me?"
Deng Changyuan and Ou Guohua's two children were taken back to their natal family by Ou Guohua, and their parents, brothers and sisters-in-law were asked to help take care of them.
Deng Shirong said: "My surname is Deng. I heard that Boss Ding is a famous fruit merchant in this area. The main reason I came here this time is to discuss some business with you."
After all, in this era, unlike in later generations, playing billiards costs more than ten or twenty yuan an hour. In this era, if you charge fifty cents an hour, I’m afraid not many people have the financial ability to come and play every day.
The shop matters have been settled, and Deng Changyuan and others can finally go to Guangzhou to purchase goods.
Because Ding Qiang dared to take risks, he soon became the only fruit buyer in the village.
For example, the weight of a single wooden pineapple must be at least 4 kilograms, and those with poor quality, those with worms, those with wet packaging, etc. should be discarded.
Deng Shirong waved his hand and said: "Boss Ding, you're welcome. You drink your drink. After I've negotiated with you, I still have something to do!"
These people, like them, are obviously traders from all over the country who come here to purchase goods.
Subsequently, home-based operations were implemented, all the stalls in the middle of the street were demolished, and the business was mainly wholesale.
Deng Changyuan and others were full of praise for the food.
The reason why Deng Changyuan and others knew about this place was naturally because they asked Deng Silong, the bus driver.
It mainly operates cloth, clothing, shoes and hats, department stores, etc.
Deng Silong said: "It is steamed powder, and it tastes really delicious when paired with sauce and seasoning."
At that time his income…
Half an hour later, Deng Shirong stood up and said goodbye: "Okay, Boss Ding, we have made it clear what we need to say, so I will leave first. I will come back to pick up the goods in May."
At first he thought it was a rich man passing by somewhere, but when he heard the sound, the motorcycle was actually parked in front of his house. The curious Ding Qiang put down his chopsticks and walked out.
By this time, the Provincial Architectural Design Institute had already completed the design. Deng Shirong prepaid 10% of the funds, and construction of the building that he was looking forward to could begin.
The reason why he could hear the sound of a motorcycle was because Ding Qiang also bought a motorcycle himself.
Ding Qiang knew that the other party had indeed given a very sincere price, so he did not push the price further and made a decision directly: "Boss Deng is so happy, then this matter is settled. I promise to help you buy enough." Quantity of wood pineapples.”
Hearing that business was coming to his door, Ding Qiang quickly greeted him enthusiastically: "It turns out to be Boss Deng. I am drinking with my son out of boredom. Come in and sit down quickly. Let's talk while drinking."
Now, the clothing store has been simply renovated, and a business license has also been obtained. It can be said that everything is ready, except for the east wind.
In order to reassure the other party, Deng Shirong also gave a deposit of 1,000 yuan in advance. Anyway, he was not afraid of the other party cheating.
In the bus heading from Bobai to Guangzhou, Deng Changyuan, Ou Guohua, Deng Changdong, and Ou Guofang were clearly on board.
Knowing that Deng Changyuan and others came to Guangzhou to wholesale clothing, he recommended this place to them.
Deng Silong nodded and said: "Well, then I will go back to sleep first."
This is indeed a city at the forefront of reform and opening up, with all the clothing, shoes, hats, and daily necessities and department stores that people desire.
Also, the 6,000 yuan for the first bank loan this year has to be repaid. This amount of money is not worth mentioning. The key is that the 800,000 yuan second loan next year will also expire.
I have to say that riding a Jialing 70 motorcycle in this era is really more prestigious than driving a Rolls-Royce in later generations. When Deng Shirong came to Shahewei, the turnaround rate along the way was absolutely 100%. I don’t know how many people Showing surprise and envy.
They followed Zhang Xiuping’s suggestion and went to the county town together to open a clothing store after the New Year.
Gaodi Street has become a famous prosperous street for Guangzhou's clothing and other self-employed businesses during the reform and opening up. It is no exaggeration to say that if you go to Guangzhou, you must visit Gaodi Street, and it is not a waste of time.
At present, Bobaimu pineapples have been sold throughout Guangxi and exported to neighboring provinces such as Guangdong, Hunan, and Guizhou.
The two parties reached a verbal agreement, and then discussed some details.
…
Of course, this is just Deng Shirong’s guess, but it shouldn’t be too different.
Ding Qiang's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this. Deng Shirong guessed right. The price given to him was only 14.1 pounds. He could make a profit of two cents from it. This was already a very good business for him. .
So, Deng Shirong wanted to try this wooden pineapple business.
Even if you make money, you won’t make much money, and it’s a waste of time.
If you wholesale it at this price, you can really make a lot of money by selling it with your eyes closed!
At this moment, Deng Changyuan and the other four could not hide their excitement. They looked at each other and felt that they were really going to make a fortune this time.
