Violators Club

Chapter 853 Fair Dealing
Lao Li's monthly salary is [-], plus bonuses and commissions, he can easily earn [-]+ a month.

What does he smoke on weekdays?
The lowest was Yuxi hard gold, and he didn't even look at those below 41 boxes.

But today is different from the past, Marlboro is uncomfortable to smoke, but it is still a serious cigarette!
Lao Li was excited. Seeing that the craving for cigarettes, which was about to be stamped out, reappeared again. He rubbed his hands and looked at the cigarette case in Zhang San's hand with excitement:
"Damn! Where did you get it? I've seen this thing before, but it's too expensive. You need a piece of five to exchange for a pack. Hurry up and get me one."

Red skin Marlboro is not expensive, 16 yuan a box, but it is a top luxury on an isolated island, and only Mr. Zhang has it.

The thermos in Lao Li's hand was exchanged from Mr. Zhang.

A [-]ml thermal bag actually cost him thirty fish.

Of course, it is said to be 3 fish, but it is actually a piece of cube [-]. To Lao Li, it is equivalent to taking a thermos for nothing, so it doesn't feel bad.

As for cigarettes?

As he said, a pack of cigarettes costs a five, which means fifty fish!

All of Lao Li’s supplies together amounted to more than a dozen fish. Although he was greedy for the luxury of cigarettes, he still gritted his teeth and endured it. At this moment, he saw Xiao Zhang holding a box of cigarettes in his hand.

Although a little embarrassed, Lao Li still couldn't help but want to ask for a stick to satisfy his greed.

Looking at Lao Li's straight eyes, Zhang San couldn't help but smile, but he didn't give Lao Li a cigarette, but rolled his eyes:

"Brother Li, I'm afraid you want to fart! If you want it, you can take the money, three fish and one cigarette."

After the words fell, Lao Li couldn't help but stare, with a tongue-tapping look of surprise:

"It's too much, a box of twenty sticks, the cost price is only two and a half dollars, you want three dollars?"

Zhang San shook his head, ignored the surprised expression of the other party, and asked directly:

"Excessive?"

Old Li was taken aback for a moment, with some hesitation in his expression, think about it carefully?
"Uh, doesn't it seem too much?"

It is too much to earn half a fish from a cigarette, but if you calculate the profit?
Looks like it's only 20% of the cost
The price is really not high. Generally, the gross profit of restaurants is 50%, and street food can reach 70%. As for drinks such as milk tea and fruit juice, the profit can often reach more than 300%.

Yes, milk tea shops are really profitable, otherwise there wouldn't be milk tea shops all over the street.

So 20% profit is really not high in Lao Li's opinion.

On the other side, seeing Lao Li's expression of serious thought, Zhang San quickly said while the iron was hot:
"What's too much? A good businessman with a good conscience, okay?

I borrowed money from several people to cobble together this pack of cigarettes, that is, I have a good relationship with you. If you buy one for three fish, I will sell it for three yuan. If you want it, I will find someone else. "

To be honest, it is really expensive to buy a cigarette for three fish, but the problem is that Lao Li's addiction to cigarettes has increased.

Thinking that I still have a dozen fish in my hand, and more importantly, the thermos cup for thirty fish, I took it off without blinking, so what about a cigarette for three fish,

After struggling for so many years, can't you still enjoy it?

After thinking for a while, Lao Li gritted his teeth: "Okay, give me one."

But Zhang San didn't take out the cigarette, but smiled, and then stretched out his hand:

"Pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand. My brother will settle the account clearly. Brother Li, where is my fish?"

Looking at Xiao Zhang's face, Lao Li rolled his eyes:

"Not bad for your fish, follow me to the cave, and I'll bring you the fish."

Ten minutes later, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, Lao Li leaned his back on a big rock beside the cave, looking like he couldn't even stand still.

Apparently after dozens of days of quitting smoking, his body's resistance to nicotine weakened.

Suddenly came to one, direct nicotine poisoning.

On the other side, looking at Lao Li who was smoking heavily, Zhang San brows enviously.

Since he got the pack of cigarettes, he hasn't smoked a single one.

He was actually very greedy, but seeing the three extra fish around his waist, he immediately restrained himself.

Today's market price is that one unit of playing cards is equal to ten fish.

A pack of cigarettes sells for [-] fish. Although it is obvious that a cigarette costs [-] yuan, Zhang San usually sells it for [-] yuan a cigarette.

Normally, he can earn ten fish for this pack of cigarettes.

It's not that Zhang San doesn't have a cigarette addiction. He actually wants to smoke, but he wants to eat fish more than smoke.

Not everyone has Brother Li's skills, and not everyone can eat all they want.

Zhang San is very thin, unable to catch fish or hunt, and can only pick fruit with women, but now the fruit trees that are easy to be picked have long been picked.

Unable to hunt, he can only live half-starved.

But it's different now, Zhang San can support himself with his wisdom.

Earning half a fish for a cigarette is much better than going hunting in the mountains to pick fruits. Zhang San thinks this is a good sign, and he believes that his life will definitely get better and better!

But is this really the case?

As the evening approached, with the last twilight of the setting sun, Mr. Zhang came back from outside in a hurry. Xiao Li, who had been busy all day, was holding a blue washbasin in his hand.

After seeing Mr. Zhang, he ran over with a washbasin in a trot all the way:

"Mr. Zhang, this is today's harvest."

Mr. Zhang raised his eyelids, glanced at the things in the washbasin, a dozen playing cards, seven or eight half-green fruits and other things, and then asked:

"Is it all here?"

Xiao Li nodded, with a bit of anger between his eyebrows: "Yes, that's all, these guys are too bullying, they took away our fish, and..."

But before he finished speaking, Mr. Zhang next to him raised his hand and interrupted his complaint:
"No, this is a reasonable and fair transaction."

Today is the first day when the two parties officially start trading, and it is much more lively than expected.

The main reason is that everyone has shopping needs. Although there is only half a cargo ship, it is a cargo ship after all, and there are many necessities in it, but what is the effect of the transaction?

From the face of the bodyguard Xiao Li, it can be seen that today's transaction was not successful.

It was mainly because of the trouble caused by the deck of playing cards given to Xiao Wang before. Under Xiao Xing's suggestion, everyone who followed Xiao Wang had at least one unit of playing card currency.

At the current market price, one unit of poker currency can be exchanged for ten fish.

What is this concept?
Mr. Zhang has all the food here, but there are only more than 1000 fish.

With more than ten poker cards, only three bombs are enough to empty out all the materials on Mr. Zhang's side. Xiao Wang has six NO.70 people under his command. If everyone goes to his side to exchange food?
One day is enough to replace all the food in Mr. Zhang's hands.

This is why the bodyguard Xiao Li is so angry.

A poker card sent out can actually exchange thirty fish from him. This is thirty fish, which is enough for everyone to have a good meal, but now the other party has exchanged a poker card.

Who doesn't feel bad for who to change?
But Mr. Zhang shook his head. Instead of being angry, he looked at the dazzling array of things in the washbasin and smiled a little more on his face. Then he asked:
"How are the thermos cups selling? Candles? Lighters, and utility knives. Has anyone bought them?"

Xiao Li nodded, and took out a notebook from his pocket:

"Xiao Wang bought a set of utility knives, sold two candles, and sold the most lighters, seven in total.

The effect of the thermos cup is not very good, only two were sold in total, but many people are interested in the thermos cup, but they feel that the price of the thermos cup is too expensive. After all, one will cost thirty fish, Mr. Zhang, or we cheaper? "

Mr. Zhang nodded, his eyebrows flickered in thought: "You said that there are many people interested in thermos cups?"

Bodyguard Xiao Li nodded quickly: "Many, at least a dozen people asked."

Immediately, Mr. Zhang asked again: "Where are the cigarettes?"

Flipping through the notebook, Xiao Li shook his head: "I sold a box, and I still use a five."

Listening to the introduction from the bodyguard Xiao Li, Mr. Zhang had a plan in mind, and then he clapped his hands, brows brimming with joy:

"Very well, the price of cigarettes remains the same, but the price of the vacuum flask will be set at 32 fish tomorrow."

Bodyguard Xiao Li: "Huh?"

Xiao Li was a little confused about Mr. Zhang's decision.

Thermos mugs are a popular product at first glance. The reason why people don't buy them is because the price is too expensive.

Faced with this situation, Mr. Zhang didn't want to think about how to sell the thermos cup, so why did he raise the price?

Xiao Li said that he could not understand.

But Mr. Zhang beside him shook his head, with a smile in his eyes, he patted the bodyguard Xiao Li on the shoulder, and said earnestly:

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. If you study hard by my side, you will definitely understand the truth."

Opened his mouth, Xiao Li wanted to say something, but thought of Mr. Zhang's past achievements?
Not to mention the company, just on the deserted island, Mr. Zhang's performance is enough to make himself astonished.

Xiao Li knew that compared to Mr. Zhang, he still had a lot to learn, so after a while he shouted with admiration:

"Yes, Mr. Zhang."
