Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 448 Gathering Wool

Is this the “good tea” that Hao Dayou mentioned?

If someone doesn’t know this tea, they would think it is moldy and spoiled chaff!
The main thing is that this is too fragmented, like a loss of face.

Fortunately, Wang An doesn’t have so much to do, and besides, having something to drink is better than nothing.

After brewing the tea, Hao Dayou couldn't wait to ask:

"Brother, what exactly is this 'big deal' you're talking about?"

Wang An pretended to be mysterious. After taking a sip of tea, he said calmly:
"I am here to study big business for you."

When Hao Dayou heard this, he subconsciously said one word:

"what?"

After Wang An finished speaking, Hao Dayou, who was originally full of curiosity, was stunned on the spot.

After Hao Dayou said the word "ah", he half opened his mouth, his eyes wide open, and stared at Wang An in a daze.

After a long while, Hao Dayou blinked and said to Wang An who was drinking tea:
"Well, brother, you just said that you wanted to get some more bricks, right?"

It was obvious that Hao Dayou did not think that Wang An could develop any "big business" and felt that Wang An was making fun of him.

So Hao Dayou automatically ignored the "big business" and felt that the "small business" in front of him was more practical.

But Wang An has to continue fooling people, otherwise, where will the benefits come from?
So Wang An said slowly:
"Brother, I'm not exaggerating at all. I can assure you that after my operation, all the bricks and tiles in your yard will be sold out immediately, or even not enough to sell."

It has to be said that Wang An accurately grasped Hao Dayou's pain point, forcing Hao Dayou to think about the accuracy of Wang An's words.

After thinking for a while, Hao Dayou couldn't hold back his anticipation for the "big deal" and asked cautiously:

"Brother, tell me, where is this big deal?"

After successfully arousing Hao Dayou's curiosity, Wang An changed the subject and said:

"This time I'm ordering bricks for my brother. I'll buy 100,000 green bricks and 100,000 red bricks each. That's it. Big brother, if I come to buy bricks again in the future, can you give me a discount?"

After Wang An finished speaking, Hao Dayou stared at Wang An, and it looked like he wanted to slap Wang An twice.

Because Wang An's words were very clear, the first half of the sentence can be explained as follows:
This time I come to buy bricks, not for myself, so I won’t tell you the price.

The second half of the sentence is the key point, which can be explained as follows:

I'm offering you a "big deal", can you give me some benefits?

As the factory director, how could Hao Dayou not understand these words?
That's why Hao Dayou stared at Wang An but was still helpless against Wang An.

Wang An noticed the look in Hao Dayou's eyes, and looked at him innocently while drinking tea, as if what he had just said was really just a simple chat.

Finally, Hao Dayou sighed and said happily:
"Brother, let me say this. From now on, as long as I am still the director of this brick factory, I will not charge you any fees for buying bricks yourself. What do you think?"

Wang An quickly calculated in his mind, two thousand bricks, or one cart of bricks, the labor fee is 4 yuan, so 100 carts of bricks would be 400 yuan.

However, I would be lucky if I could use at most 500 carts of bricks, which means I can save 2 yuan.

Although 2 yuan is a lot of money, it is not a drop in the bucket for a brick factory. They have to get more money after finally making some money.

So Wang An said with a smile: "Brother, if I buy more bricks, the quantity will not be small, at least one million or eight hundred thousand." After hearing what Wang An said, Hao Dayou was stunned for a moment, and then asked in surprise:
"What? You want to build a palace?"

Wang An suddenly felt that this question was familiar, as if someone had asked him the same question before. So, Wang An subconsciously answered:
"Brother, you are wrong. I don't want to build a palace. I just want to build a palace."

After hearing this, Hao Dayou was stunned for a moment, then said helplessly:
"Wang has got a big brother, you can build whatever you want."

Wang An immediately asked, "Brother, what about the price?"

It can be seen that Hao Dayou was very conflicted at this time. Although he didn't want to lower the price, he was very much looking forward to the "big deal" that Wang An mentioned.

Therefore, Hao Dayou thought for a long time before saying:

"Brother, as long as you use the bricks yourself, then every time you buy more than 80 bricks, I will give you 1 cent for red bricks and 2 cents for green bricks. The tiles you should give me are still one cent each. You can pay for the bricks, and I will pay for the tiles. What do you think?"

It has to be said that Hao Dayou is worthy of being a factory director, and he directly defeated Wang An.

80 bricks is exactly the number of bricks that Wang An wanted last time, and it is also the lowest number among the “one million to eight hundred thousand” that Wang An boasted just now.

If Wang An's new yard wasn't big enough, then his family already had 80 bricks, and he would have to buy another 80 bricks. What would he do with all these old bricks? They would never be used up!
As for selling it, this road has been blocked by Hao Dayou in advance.

The most important thing is that if the amount is less than 80 bricks, the price will not be the same. In other words, if you want to enjoy the low price, you must buy more than 80 bricks at a time.

80 bricks, even if they are all red bricks, would still cost 8 yuan!

Even if a formal employee does not eat or drink, it will take him 8 years and seven months to earn 17 yuan.

As for the issue of gifting tiles and the cost of delivering them, that can be completely ignored because it is not a big sum of money.

Fortunately, although 80 bricks may be difficult for others, it is not a big deal for Wang An.

Therefore, Wang An agreed directly:
"Okay, let's do as Big Brother says."

At this point, Wang An has managed to fleece half of Hao Dayou.

The other half depends on Wang An’s “big deal”.

Seeing Wang An agreed, Hao Dayou immediately smiled bitterly and said:

"Brother, to be honest, I have been studying the issue of relocation recently. As you can see, this brick factory is in ruins."

Hearing Hao Dayou's complaints, Wang An was instantly delighted. He had been thinking about how to fool him, but this time he didn't need to.

The main thing is that whether it is building an office building or a school, it is not something Wang An can control, and this deal will eventually fall on the brick factory.

So if Wang An couldn't think of the right wording, as soon as he said it, Hao Dayou would be able to tell the truth from the falsehood immediately.

Never underestimate any official, because no matter when, the person who can be the top leader is definitely the best among people.

Even if he is not the best among people, he is still a cunning and scheming person.

Thinking of this, Wang An smiled and said:

"A friend of mine said that there are two big projects coming up in our county this year, and the bricks and tiles needed are huge."

Upon hearing this, Hao Dayou immediately narrowed his eyes, as if thinking about what big project might be happening in the county.
