Far away from the small town in the wild jungle, somewhere in Central America, Teacher Yan was sitting leisurely on the street curb, watching the bustling pedestrians on the street, the Spanish-style buildings, and the dazzling array of fruits in front of him. market.

He looked leisurely and contented, but the photographers following him were so anxious that they were almost fuming.After a while, Weining came back carrying a camera.

In this scorching equatorial region, Weining wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "Yan, I just asked...there are...bananas everywhere...people don't lack bananas at all, but our bananas can't be sold. !”

"Who said that?" Teacher Yan was a little surprised.

"No, Yan, I still understand a little bit about such a simple relationship between supply and demand. If you want to sell bananas, others must need bananas. But there are bananas everywhere, how to sell them!" Wei Ning groaned desperately.

"Who told you we are here to sell bananas?"

Song Wenbin spread his hands and said gracefully: "We came out today to buy bananas."

Buying bananas?

Wei Ning felt that his mind was a little hard to turn around.

Obviously, the cooperation that Song Wenbin negotiated with the owner of the local farm was to help him sell a warehouse of bananas, but why did it turn into purchasing bananas?

The other photographers also looked at each other because they were disgusted with the teacher's incomprehensible words. No one knew what kind of medicine this man was selling.

But Song Wenbin had already started it. He stood up, patted his butt and walked to a vendor in the fruit market. He found a quite large stall and asked, "Excuse me, how do you sell these bananas?"

When the boss saw someone coming to buy fruit, he said enthusiastically: "Banana costs $1 per catty."

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

A lot?
The fruit stall owner asked nonchalantly: "How big is it?"

"All."

Song Wenbin said.

The careless boss was stunned for a moment, turned his head steadily, looked at the unfamiliar customer, looked him up and down, and said in surprise: "Are you kidding me?"

"No." Song Wenbin smiled and said, "If I buy them all, how will you sell them?"

"If you buy them all...three pounds for one dollar?"

The boss said with some uncertainty that he had never experienced this kind of thing before. Why did he buy so many bananas at once?

"Then it's a deal."

Song Wenbin said extremely cheerfully.

Ah? ? ?
The boss didn't expect such a business, and he was even more confused than happy. He said, "I have more than 100 kilograms here. Are you...sure you want it all?"

"Yes, I want both."

Song Wenbin said firmly: "But I don't have such a big warehouse here, and I don't have any cash, so I would like to ask you to transport these bananas to Bob Kirk's farm in the south of the city when you close the stall at night. You know that farm?" A farm?”

"I know, of course I know."

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

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

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

The fruit stall owner looked at Song Wenbin and fell silent. He didn't know how credible the other party's words were.

But Song Wenbin didn't care much. After shaking hands with the boss, he went to find the next fruit stall owner with a smile.

At dusk, Song Wenbin and his photographer visited all the fruit stands in this small town and sent a request to all the fruit stand owners to buy bananas.However, most bosses sneered at Song Wenbin's acquisition request. After all, he neither put forward a deposit nor signed any agreement. He only verbally agreed to deliver the goods in the south of the city at night. This made many bosses feel that he was talking nonsense.

For the photographers within the team, Teacher Yan’s behavior was equally puzzling. The purpose of their trip was to spend [-] US dollars on a route to the US-Mexico border. Teacher Yan not only gave all the money to others, but also lost his life. They started selling bananas in Central America. This kind of thing that has nothing to do with the main story makes the photographers worried. After all, their salary and performance are linked to the shooting tasks. If they can't shoot what they planned, content, everyone’s future will be affected to a greater or lesser extent.

At night, several people stood at the gate of the farm. It was obvious that Song Wenbin's purchase plan during the day had little effect. After waiting for a long time, no vendor actually came to sell bananas to them.

The fruit seller didn't see him coming, but the farmer, Kerik, couldn't wait to lead his people out of the courtyard. He stood next to Song Wenbin expectantly and said, "Teacher Yan, please forgive my short-term impatience, but I still can't bear it." I’m curious, how many bananas did you sell today? After all, those things will rot if 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 to start?"

Kirk's smile froze slightly, and he asked in confusion: "What is that for?"

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

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

"There are 270 kilograms here...According to daytime terms, it should be 90 US dollars..." the vendor said to Song Wenbin while wiping the sweat from his forehead.

After hearing what the fruit seller said, Kirk's face changed. Fortunately, he still maintained some grace and just stared at Song Wenbin without saying a word.

Song Wenbin pulled him aside and explained: "This is a solution I customized for you. In this plan, I will pretend to be a Taiwanese businessman who comes to Central America to collect bananas because of improving banana varieties. And you Then he helped me out of friendship for business cooperation, helped me stock up on bananas, and at the same time, also helped me pay."

"what??"

Kerik was stunned. He said in shock: "God bless me, I invited you here to sell bananas! Not to buy bananas! Damn it, I already have enough bananas in the warehouse!! And you are still buying them there! !! You even expect me to pay for this!! Do you think I’m crazy!?”

Facing Kirk's doubts and anger, Song Wenbin seemed calm and calm. He explained coldly: "Any business requires investment and risks. There are enough bananas in your city now. If no accidents happen, You won’t be able to sell the bananas in your warehouse until they’re rotten, do you think I’m right?”

Although Kirk was very angry, as a businessman, he still remained rational. After thinking about it for a moment, he realized that Song Wenbin was indeed telling the truth.

"Yes, you are indeed right, but didn't you say you could help me solve the problem? What's the matter with buying back..." Kirk was speechless: "You still think there are not enough bananas? How can you sell it like this? Going out??" "I'm helping you solve the problem. As a fruit and food, bananas are definitely surplus and worthless. Unless you can give it other attributes, a banana can only be a banana. "

Song Wenbin leaned against Kirk's ear and whispered quietly.

That wonderful voice and deep voice penetrated into Kerik's brain, making him shiver involuntarily and get goosebumps all over his body.He turned his head and looked at the man who came out of the show. Logically speaking, he would not easily trust anyone he just met, but this guy was completely restrained by ordinary people, and there was no sign of lying at all.

"Give other attributes...what attributes are those...?" he asked stammering.

"Well~"

Teacher Yan smiled slightly, twirled his fingers, and said happily: "Of course it is given the attributes that everyone desires~"

Kirk was silent. The other party's demeanor of being in control of everything and his elegant and calm tone made his mind sway unconsciously. Indeed, if handled in the ordinary way, the bananas would just rot in the warehouse.But if he can believe in this foreign monk, will a miracle happen?

"Believe me, you only have this one chance. If everything goes well, I can guarantee that all your investment today will be recovered with several times the profits in the future." Seeing that he was still wavering, Teacher Yan continued to add fuel to the fire.

"you sure?"

"Sure and sure."

Teacher Yan said sincerely.

After a moment of silence, Kirk asked: "What should I do?"

"In the next few days, I will be buying bananas in this city, and the price will be higher day by day. What you have to do is very simple, on the one hand, help me pay, and on the other hand, bite them to death. A wealthy Taiwanese businessman needs bananas in large quantities because he needs to improve banana varieties, and the demand is unlimited."

Kirk was finally moved. The businessman's nature allowed him to keenly capture certain possibilities. He looked at the young man in front of him, and there seemed to be some kind of dim fire burning silently in his eyes.

"Ok."

……

After making the decision, Bob Kirk helped Song Wenbin pay the $90 for the bananas and bought 270 kilograms of bananas.

In the market, news always spreads at lightning speed. The vendor who easily sold nearly 300 kilograms of bananas yesterday made dozens of dollars, which made other people who did not believe Song Wenbin sigh with regret.

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

With the previous acquisitions in mind, Song Wenbin's acquisition became extremely easy this time. Soon, he persuaded more than a dozen merchants and purchased more than 1000 US dollars worth of bananas that night.

On this day, the fruit farmers in the fruit market were very happy. In the evening, they gathered in the bar to drink and marveled at what happened during the day. They could not understand why there was a big wronged person here buying bananas like crazy.

At this time, a message from the tavern owner explained the reason.

It turns out that in the Taiwan area on the other side of the ocean, 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. After sighing with emotion, everyone devoted themselves to the business of purchasing bananas. After all, after receiving bananas, they can be sold at a value far exceeding their own value. Such a good thing does not happen every day. of.

On the third day, the acquisition continued. On this day, due to the previous acquisition, the number of bananas also temporarily decreased, and the price of bananas also began to rise, soon rising from 1 US dollar for 3 catties to 1 US dollar for 2 catties.

But even so, the mysterious oriental businessman still refused to accept anyone who came, and even took the initiative to increase the price of bananas from 1 US dollar and 2 pounds to 1 US dollar and [-] pound on the fourth day.

Such an abnormal move caused an uproar in this remote town. Bananas have never been sold so expensively since many people can remember.

People began to collect bananas and sell them to the businessman from the East.But more astute fruit stall merchants have seen a certain pattern.

Sure enough, on the fifth day, the price of bananas rose to US$1.5 per pound, which is unimaginable to many people.However, the strange thing is that even though Song Wenbin's team collected bananas at the market at a price of 1.5 US dollars per pound, they did not harvest many bananas at the end of the day.

On the sixth day, he began to buy bananas from the market at a price of two dollars per catty, but this time, there were even fewer bananas.

Instead, as the news spread, many locals learned about the rare local bananas, and they all watched and waited.

Those who sold out the bananas in the first place were even more upset. No one knew that bananas would continue to rise after they sold them.

Out of reluctance, or perhaps out of interest, some people gradually approached Kirk and tried to buy some bananas from him.

At first, it was only Kerik's relatives, but soon more and more passers-by and local businessmen joined the inquiry.

Such an incredible development shocked Kirk. In his half-century of life, he had never seen such an outrageous marketing method.If Teacher Yan took action, he still had strong doubts about this man, but seeing the continuous stream of local big businessmen coming to inquire privately about the price of bananas at this moment, his inner respect has undoubtedly reached its peak.

"That's amazing...that's amazing...how on earth did you do that..." After a large local merchant bought 2 kilograms of bananas at a price of 500 US dollars per kilogram, Kerik invited Teacher Yan to the living room and handed him the bananas respectfully. Cigars were offered.

Song Wenbin thought that he was far behind compared with the big businessmen in his hometown, and he didn't do anything, he just used a small trick. The only reason he could blame it was that this small town was too isolated and he had not seen the world.

"I will continue to raise prices in the future, and those people will continue to wait and see and continue to hoard, but in about three days, the shelf life of bananas will reach its limit, and you will only have three days to ship the goods. Do you understand?" He detailed He warned the boss, whom he had never met before.

"Of course! Your words are like music." Kerik marveled: "I will definitely do what you ask for."

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

"Of course, of course!"

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

Song Wenbin counted the money and frowned: "That's not right. We agreed on $500. Why did you give me so much?"

"You are amazing!"

Kerik praised: "I have a nephew who is doing great things and heard about this. He also wants to ask you for a favor. Please don't refuse."

"Eh?"

Teacher Yan raised his head, his heart skipping a beat.
