Great changes in the countryside

Chapter 23 Too tender

Then, Mr. Tian said, "The color is not bad."

Tian Jiujin looked at Chen Yang, "Good boy, it's quite real."

Grandpa said, "To tell you the truth, there is more than 5000 catties of coal cinder powder, and [-] catties of coal ash are added. The quality is not to be said."

Old Man Tian nodded, "They are all acquaintances, let's make a price."

Grandpa stretched out his hand, first a "three" and then a "five".

Three and a half pounds.

Old Man Tian smiled and shook his head, "Uncle Model, you are tall."

"You get what you pay for."

Tian Jiujin said, "Uncle Model, we will give you a high price, two-thirds per catty."

Grandpa looked at Chen Yang, "Yang, what do you think?"

Chen Yang knew that last year his father sold cinder powder for three cents per catty.Now it can be sold for two-thirds per catty, which is indeed a high price.

Chen Yang said, "Two-thirds is two-thirds. However, Uncle Tian, ​​I have two small requests."

Tian Jiujin snorted, "Tell me and listen."

"Two Uncles, my family has no money, so I got a lot of credit this time. Therefore, we have to pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other."

Tian Jiujin nodded, "That's no problem."

"One more thing, I bought more than 1000 pounds of coal. Now that it has been processed, I want to sell it to the two Uncle Tian."

Tian Jiujin and Tian Laodan looked at each other.

Tian Laodan asked, "Xiao Chen, how much does coal stone powder sell for a catty?"

Chen Yang was uncertain, "It's fifteen cents a catty."

Old Man Tian smiled and said, "The price of coal is [-] cents, and the coal ticket is [-] cents. Fifty cents a catty, there are many on the street, and the supply and marketing cooperatives also pay this price."

Grandpa said: "Simply, you guys make a price."

Mr. Tian said, "One catty and three cents."

Tian Jiujin also said, "Uncle Model, the price has already reached its peak."

Grandpa stood up, "That's it. Two, we will send it over tomorrow."

"Wait." Old Man Tian said, "Uncle Mo Fan, I understand that in the morning, we will come and deliver the goods by ourselves. Pay for the goods and deliver the goods."

Tian Jiujin also nodded.

Grandpa was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "Okay, tomorrow morning."

According to the rules, Tian Laodan and Tian Jiujin each took out ten yuan and handed it to Chen Yang as a deposit.

On the way home, Chen Yang was full of suspicion.

"grandfather."

Grandpa pointed at Chen Yang, "You are too young."

"Grandpa, what do you say?"

"Just now when you sold coal and stone powder, if you asked for fifteen cents a catty, you would lose."

"Well, how do you say this?"

"They are right. Go to the market, go to the supply and marketing cooperatives, and you can buy the best coal for [-] cents a catty. They are professional kilns, and they have their own coal purchase channels, so they don't have to worry about not being able to buy coal. The same The price, why should he buy your coal stone powder?"

"Grandpa, please explain clearly, where did I go wrong?"

"Selling coal powder is not the same as selling cinder powder. You should bite the bullet and let them make the price first."

"Then they must ask me to make an offer first?"

"Then you should say seventeen cents a pound."

"why?"

"You figure it out for yourself."

Chen Yang scratched his head, "Grandpa, there is one thing I don't understand."

"What else do you not understand?"

"They don't let us send the cinder powder there, but they have to transport it themselves. Why?"

Grandpa glanced at Chen Yang and asked with a smile, "You really don't know?"

"really do not know."

Grandpa smiled and said, "Because of your face and your immaturity."

Chen Yang was even more confused, "What do you mean?"

"Yang, you look like a scholar, not a businessman. When a person like you goes into business, a real businessman is afraid of being deceived by you, so he dare not trust you easily."

"Anything like that?"

"Yes, scholars have a lot of eyes."
