good old days

Guo Hong asked Jiang Xinyu if it was possible, but Jiang Xinyu had no reason to disagree.

"If your family sells ginseng, you don't need to put it on consignment with me. I can buy those two ginseng for you. I happen to have relatives who need it."

Chen Jinhua gave Chen Yi five hundred dollars and a TV set at home. If she could buy ginseng, she would return the favor first. Chen Jinhua happened to be ill. Although she didn't know if ginseng was useful, she would go see her next time. It was just right for him to bring ginseng.

As soon as her thoughts opened up, Guo Hong was so excited that she didn't even want to go to eat. She turned back to the delivery room and made a call to the post office.

Ask the people at the post office to help them go to their village and ask her brother to call her at this time tomorrow.

She wanted to make her family rich and couldn't wait to write.

Even though she knew her parents were still angry with her, she still wanted to contact her family.

Even though her family had grown up with ten thousand yuan, her family was still quarreling every day over finding a wife for her younger brother. It was time for her to find a way out.

The phone bill was quite expensive. She gritted her teeth and spent the money. She must find a way to make money for her family.

When the 20th arrived, Jiang Xinyu went to the post office near the school and called the post office in Huan County.

The operator was Ding Changhai's uncle's nephew. Ding Changhai had already informed him. After asking for Jiang Xinyu's name, he said, "You wait over there for a while, I'll call him."

Jiang Xinyu waited here for seven or eight minutes before the phone rang.

"Are they siblings?"

Jiang Xinyu responded, "It's me. Chen Yi has gone abroad, so I'm here to talk to you about this matter."

Ding Changhai said: "The phone bill is quite expensive. Let's make a long story short. There are many kinds of nuts here. The ones I think are worth the freight to transport back are hazelnuts and pine nuts. These two are not cheap. I went to various villages at the foot of the mountain to buy a lot of them. Receive it, and keep the price a little lower than the market price. Hazelnuts cost 45 cents per catty, and pine nuts cost 57 cents per catty. The amount of hazelnuts is large, and the amount of pine nuts is small. You can eat as much as you can, or else When the goods are sold out, they will be out of stock. The mountains here are blocked by heavy snow, and it is difficult to transport goods. After I went back to figure it out, I called my boss and told me to calculate the total price of the goods. I will help you pay for the freight first, and wait for the goods. When you get to the capital, you can send me the freight back to the commune."

Jiang Xinyu said: "Okay, I'll make a call after I go back and make some plans. Brother Changhai, are you coming to our trip? We just happen to be about to order a batch of goods."

Ding Changhai: "I'll be here to receive the goods for a while. When I return to your place, you can order your own first. The money on my hand is a bit unsatisfactory. I'll come in again in December. It just happened to be sold right now.”

Before hanging up, Ding Changhai said again: "There are wild ginseng here. If you need it, I can help take one back."

Jiang Xinyu hurriedly said: "Yes, it's best if the year is older, so don't buy grown ones."

Ding Changhai chuckled, "Don't worry, you can't trick me."

At this time, ginseng was indeed being grown in the Northeast. One kilogram could be sold for about 30 to 50 yuan, which is equivalent to one month's salary of a worker. If you dig up a very old and rare ginseng, a stick It's nothing if the price is over a hundred.

Ding Changhai came to his uncle's house in the Northeast to collect nuts. When he was chatting with people in the village where his uncle's house was, he heard a lot of news about who dug wild ginseng and how much the drugstore paid when harvesting. There is not much life here. Many people follow the trend and go to the mountains to collect ginseng. The more savvy ones have secretly planted it at the foot of the distant mountains.

The "career" of collecting ginseng is not new. Some people have been engaged in this time-consuming and dangerous activity for a long time.

After hearing this, he also thought about it. Naturally, he would collect as much of a good thing as ginseng when he could find it. He would keep one or two for his own use, and the rest would be given as gifts or sold, and he would not lose money.

This land is really a treasure. There are wild hazelnut trees growing on the low hills. In the deep mountains and high forests, there are tall pine forests. There are also acorns. Although they don’t taste good, they are found all over the mountains and plains. After being ground into powder, Food can ensure that people on this land will not go hungry. Many people took hazelnuts and pine nuts to sell in counties and cities, but none of them were cost-effective to sell directly to Ding Changhai. He collected them in large quantities, and they just searched for the goods all over the mountains and fields, dried them and put them into bags to send to Ding Changhai.

It was originally a wild beast in the mountains. Whoever got it belongs to whoever helped it. How could anyone be unwilling to do it?

Ding Changhai wanted to collect a lot himself, and he also helped Jiang Xinyu collect it. Naturally, the more the better, and he would not refuse anyone who came. Not only the area around his uncle's home, he also ran away with his cousins ​​in the next county, and the soles of his feet were calloused.

When she got home in the afternoon, after dinner, Wang Sumei counted the money, tied it with a rubber band, and put it in the cabinet.

Jiang Xinyu said: "Mom, the Northeast is different from here. The roads are blocked when it snows in winter. We will try to buy as much as possible this time, and we will have to wait for another year after this year. We must buy more to ensure we have something to sell by this time next year.”

I just added 2,000 yuan to the bankbook, and now I feel a little regretful. When it comes to money, no matter how much you invest in business, it seems that it is never enough.

Wang Sumei asked: "About how much is needed?"

Jiang Xinyu wasn't sure how much, thinking that if they could buy enough to sell for a year, it wouldn't be enough to invest all the money they had on hand, "I can say at least five thousand yuan."

Five thousand yuan is not enough.

Wang Sumei felt a little dizzy, "You can figure it out. The bankbook is with you. If you don't have enough money, you can withdraw it."

Jiang Xinyu said sheepishly: "I will make up for it when you get the money back."

Wang Sumei doesn't even have to worry about this anymore. The store now sells at least three hundred yuan a day, which seems to make a lot of money. But every time she has some money, she has to use it all to buy goods. It seems that the purpose of making money is to buy goods.

"Xinyu, have we made money?" Wang Sumei looked confused.

Jiang Xinyu: "You must have made money, don't you know how to settle accounts now?"

Wang Sumei frowned and nodded, "I know how to check the accounts and settle the accounts, but the money in our account is gone as soon as the goods are purchased. Every time we purchase goods, it is clean. I will check the accounts and settle the accounts again, but we still have no money."

"It costs thousands of dollars to get goods in and out. It sounds like a boss, but why do we still have no money?"

Her mother-in-law looked at her eagerly, waiting for her to explain her doubts. Jiang Xinyu was silent for a long time and said: "When the goods are sold out, it will be money. We will definitely have a sum of money in our hands after the new year."

After her mother-in-law left, Jiang Xinyu sat back and continued to take stock. After adding and subtracting, she calculated that the investment in the store had actually paid back.

If she hadn't kept the money for the purchase, the money in her mother-in-law's passbook could have been replenished in one go.

Four tons of hazelnuts is 3,600, and two tons of pine nuts is 2,280. If Ding Changhai can receive so much goods, there will be a freight on the road. The price is not as expensive as shipping here from Xinjiang Province, but it is a few The freight for tons of cargo is not cheap either.

Even if the goods cost five or six thousand, they probably won't be sold for a year. It depends on how much Ding Changhai can receive.

In this era of honest business, you can only make money if you have goods.
