The leisurely life of farmers in mountain villages

Chapter 10
It was already 7:10 p.m. on July 10 when the chicken convoy arrived at the gate of Wang Shaodong's chicken farm.

Then, dozens of helpers began to work separately.

Some carried iron cages to the chicken shed to catch the chickens, some were responsible for weighing, some were responsible for keeping accounts, and some carried the iron cages full of chickens into the chicken trucks.

This time Ma Zhentang, Wang Fumin and the others contacted a chicken dealer whose surname was Zhao and whose name was Zhao Mingwei. He was the largest raw chicken wholesaler in southern Tainan.More than 70.00% of the white-striped chickens and roosters eaten by ordinary people in Tainan City have passed through his hands.

Boss Zhao brought six trucks specially responsible for pulling chickens this time. In addition, each truck had a driver and a truck presser. Including Boss Zhao and his wife, a total of [-] people came.

Boss Zhao had a big appetite, so he ordered all the more than 6000 young roosters in Taohualing Village over the phone.

In a county-level city like Tainan City, with a population of 10,000+, the number of live chickens sold every year is more than hundreds of thousands, and the number of live chickens sold every month is also more than tens of thousands.Boss Zhao, on the other hand, is often anxious because he cannot contact the source of goods.

Some of the live chickens Boss Zhao buys from chicken farms will be wholesaled to live chicken stalls in various farmers markets, and some will be taken to his own slaughterhouse for processing and then sent to supermarkets.

Boss Zhao only deals with chickens all year round, and earns 300 million a year. He is also a well-known chicken boss in southern Tainan.

There are champions in all walks of life. If you really stand out, you can make money without ambiguity.

In his previous life, Wang Shaodong had met Zhao Mingwei a few times, but because their chicken farm had never been scaled up, it must be difficult to make real friends with such a big boss.However, Boss Zhao is very righteous. If he asks for help with anything, he will not refuse to do what he can.When I was in college, I couldn't make up enough tuition fees. Wang Shaodong's father even lent Zhao Mingwei 5000 yuan.

Wang Shaodong felt that if he wanted to gain a foothold in this mountain village in the next step, it would be a good idea to engage in aquaculture, and if he wanted to make money from aquaculture, it would be a good idea to have a good relationship with large wholesalers in the middle reaches of the chicken industry. very necessary.

Besides, with my experience of more than ten years ahead and my 34-year-old life experience, it is not too difficult to get close to a city-level live chicken purchase and wholesaler.

In his previous life, Wang Shaodong worked in sales and knew some skills in communicating with people. Tonight, he just used them.

Because there are enough people, Boss Zhao caught the chickens from three farmers together and weighed them with three platform scales. In less than two hours, he caught all [-] live roosters, weighed them, and loaded them. to the car.

The next step is to checkout.

Before this, Wang Shaohua had to be busy keeping accounts, and had no chance to say hello to Boss Zhao, but now, the opportunity came.

How to deal with others, Wang Shaodong has studied it specially, that is to do what he likes.

Different people have different preferences, but different people also have the same preferences.Smile, politeness and self-confidence are the basic requirements for making friends with others, and the way to make them like you is to do what you like.For this chicken sale, Wang Shaodong had discussed with his father a long time ago. In order to build a good relationship with Boss Zhao, when paying the bill, a fraction of 35 cents was not required.Money is what everyone likes. Although it is small, it can also make Boss Zhao and his wife feel that their Wang family is someone worthy of association. No one likes to be friends with those who care about every detail.

Zhao Mingwei has a hobby, that is, he likes wild game, especially grasshoppers, which Wang Shaodong heard from others in his previous life.So before he came, Wang Shaodong and his uncle had already caught a plastic bag full of grasshoppers, weighing more than two catties, and they were still alive and kicking at twelve o'clock at night.

All the hard work was done, and then all the helpers hired by the three chicken farmers went home, and the drivers and helpers brought by Zhao Mingwei also got into the car, and then, it was time for the final payment.

Zhao Mingwei and his wife drove the van into Wang Shaodong's house, and then took a black leather bag from the car.Looking at the weight of the bag, Wang Shaodong guessed that all the money from tonight's settlement should be in it.

When weighing, Wang Shaodong was responsible for recording the weight of each cage, and then Boss Zhao and the others also arranged for their own person to record, and finally both sides were calculated together. If the calculated results were the same, the bill could be settled.Under normal circumstances, the calculation results of both sides will be the same. If the calculation results are not the same, the difference can be discussed if the difference is small. If the difference is large, it will be a little troublesome.If the difference is large, one party may neglect to record one cage. At this time, the cages must be counted first, and finally the party with the correct number of recorded cages will pay the bill.

In the main hall of the Wang family, Wang Shaodong was lying on the coffee table and counting with a pen, while Zhao Mingwei's wife was sitting next to the Eight Immortals table and pressing the calculator.

He used to work in sales and dealt with numbers all day long. Wang Shaodong's calculation ability is very outstanding. He quickly calculated the weight of the chicken he sold to Zhao Mingwei this time. The total was 9216 catties, which was [-] catties heavier than estimated. .

After the calculator in Zhao Mingwei's wife's hand read out her own count, which was also 9216 catties, Wang Shaodong smiled and looked at Zhao Mingwei who was drinking tea sitting opposite him and said, "Uncle, I also calculated 9216 catties." As he spoke, Wang Shaodong showed him the paper.

Zhao Mingwei nodded and said, "I've been doing this for almost ten years, and I can't go wrong. Young man, do the math."

Zhao Mingwei only knew that the person sitting opposite him was the son of a chicken farmer next to him, but he didn't know his name.

"Uncle, according to the price we negotiated over the phone, it's four yuan and fifty a catty, which is a total of 41472 yuan. In this way, we don't want any change. Just give us 41400 yuan."

When he said this, Wang Shaodong glanced sideways at Su Mei, Zhao Mingwei's wife next to the Eight Immortals table, and found a satisfied smile on her face.

"Okay, the young man is quite good at handling things."

Zhao Mingwei glanced at his wife, and conveniently took out four stacks of bundled hundred-yuan bills from the leather bag he was carrying, and counted out a small stack, and handed them to Zhao Mingwei. Four stacks of bundled hundred-yuan bills were placed on the table, and then counted the small stack, then looked at his wife and said, "Give me another one."

Zhao Mingwei's wife frowned when she heard this, "That's enough, exactly 14."

When Wang Shaodong heard it, he understood what Zhao Mingwei meant. Not only did he not intend to take advantage of their family, but he also planned to let Wang Shaodong's family take advantage of him.

I heard that Zhao Mingwei is a man of righteousness, and seeing it today, it is indeed so. It seems that such friends should be in contact with each other in the future.
