Rebirth in 1984, starting from beekeeping in the mountains

Chapter 40 Checking out and counting money! (Please read on!)

After his figure completely disappeared, Wang Tong walked towards Fang Hongan with some uneasiness: "Brother! Let's sell honey to a ghost rat like him, okay?"

What he was worried about was not this time, but what he heard from Liao San and Fang Hongan’s discussion just now, that Liao San would go to Shiwan Village to collect honey in person every month in the future!

This is a bit too eye-catching.

You know, there has always been cases of "pink eye" in the village.

If these people with conjunctivitis find out that they can make so much money by digging honey, not only will they immediately start a frenzy to dig honey, but there will definitely be people who will use this matter to cause trouble.

"Don't be afraid!" Fang Hongan patted Wang Tong on the shoulder. "This is the first time I asked him to deliver some goods. Others shouldn't find anything!"

"As for the follow-up, even if it is discovered, I won't be afraid!"

Although no one has discovered that they are digging honey yet, this secret will be discovered sooner or later, and... Fang Hongan estimated that it will take at most ten days or half a month.

By then, it won’t matter much whether Liao San goes or not.

As for Wang Tong's worry that someone would take advantage of the situation and make trouble with it, Fang Hongan was even less worried.

Fang Hongan remembered that in his previous life, he had read in the newspaper that Hunan Province issued the first individual private business license in September 1984.

In other words, starting from September, self-employed individuals have been officially recognized.

And now, although September is still a few months away.

But I believe that many departments should have already received some information.

A "ghost rat" like Liao San, as long as he doesn't do anything to harm himself or seek death, and just keeps on doing small things in a low-key manner, can get rid of the three words "ghost rat" with a clear conscience.

However, it is not easy to explain these things to Wang Tong in detail, so he can only give this general explanation.

Fortunately, after hearing what Fang Hongan said, Wang Tong finally felt relieved.

I started packing my things with great interest.

He couldn't wait to count the money.

Fang Hongan understood what he was thinking. He helped him pack up his things and pulled him into the fat aunt's shop.

After the previous friendly cooperation, Fang Hongan already knew that the fat aunt was called Meng Jiuxiang, and her husband, the short and thin shop owner, was named Huang Guigen.

As soon as the two entered the room, Meng Jiuxiang and Huang Guigen came to greet them warmly.

Meng Jiuxiang quickly dropped the work in his hands, asked Fang Hongan and Wang Tong to sit at the table in the inner room, then turned around and started making tea.

Even Huang Guigen, who seemed to be a man of few words, grinned and took the initiative to start a conversation.

After the fat aunt Meng Jiuxiang poured the tea over, Fang Hongan got straight to the point: "Uncle Huang, Aunt Meng, let's settle the money for the cans first!"

"Have a cup of tea first! There's no rush!"

Meng Jiuxiang waved her hands repeatedly, being very polite. Finally, under Fang Hongan's insistence, she found a piece of paper with the word "正" drawn all over it and handed it to Fang Hongan: "They are all on it. I will mark one by one. I just checked the number, so it will definitely not be wrong."

Fang Hongan counted and found that there were 53 complete characters, and the remaining one had only one stroke.

That means the total number of cans should be 266.

There are two cans for one pound of honey, and the total number is almost the same as the amount of honey he secretly memorized for sale.

Nodding, Fang Hongan took out a handful of change from his purse and began to count the money.

Seeing Fang Hongan was willing to pay, the short and thin shopkeeper Huang Guigen quickly reached out to stop him: "Just give me 12 yuan!"

According to the previously agreed price, 266 pieces, 5 cents each, should be 13 yuan. Huang Guigen's price was to lower the price to 3 cents each. The reason for this is that the number sold this time has far exceeded the number negotiated before.

But the most important thing was that Fang Hongan's strategy of letting people who bought honey come into the store to get free cans helped attract a large number of people to the small store.

After these people enter the store and pick up cans, they will most likely take a look at other goods as well.

Because it was free, I had a very good initial impression of this small store. I saw some things that I wanted to buy, asked the price and found out that it was reasonable, and then I paid for them directly.

There were also many people who, even if they did not buy honey, were attracted by the large number of people in the shop out of herd mentality.

In this way, Fang Hongan and his men standing in front of the door not only did not affect the business of the shop, but instead attracted a lot of business for the shop.

Just before Fang Hongan and Wang Tong entered the store, Meng Jiuxiang and Huang Guigen had already made a preliminary calculation. During today's market day, just in the two hours after Fang Hongan and his friends set up their stall, the store's gross profit was nearly 50% more than that of a normal day.

With this calculation, let alone making money, even a small loss in the can would be fine.

The key point is that both Meng Jiuxiang and Huang Guigen hope to maintain this cooperative model by taking the initiative to show goodwill when Fang Hongan comes to the market to sell honey in the future.

Through today's contact and observation, they have come to realize that although Fang Hongan in front of them looks like a rustic young man from the mountains, he is a capable man.

Just a random little strategy could revitalize both the honey stall and their small shop.

This is not the most amazing thing. The most amazing thing is that they sold more than 100 kilograms of honey in this market. Not to mention where they got so much honey, just the selling skills alone opened the eyes of the couple.

If you have the opportunity to make friends with such a capable person, then naturally you have to show your sincerity.

"Row!"

Having guessed what the couple was thinking, Fang Hongan was happy to see it happen.

Although he had just reached a preliminary agreement on cooperation with Liao San, in Fang Hongan's plan, Liao San was just a temporary distribution channel.

Businessmen are profit-driven, especially cunning men like Liao San.

If we only rely on this one channel to sell honey, he will control us sooner or later.

In addition to him, Fang Hongan also wants to expand other sales channels.

Small stores like this are also a good choice in the early stages.

Judging from this cooperation, Fang Hongan felt that the couple both were pretty good.

He has the shrewdness and mercenary nature of a small businessman.

But there is also the kindness and enthusiasm of the mountain people.

She counted out 12 yuan and handed it directly to Meng Jiuxiang. Meng Jiuxiang smiled and thanked him repeatedly. At the same time, she noticed that the cloth bag on Fang Hongan's chest was bulging, so she took the initiative to pull her husband outside to clean up the shelves, leaving the inner room to Fang Hongan and Wang Tong.

At the table, after Huang Guigen and his wife left, Wang Tong's eyes suddenly became different. Although he was trying hard to suppress it, the light flashing in his eyes became brighter and brighter, golden and full of little stars.

Seeing him like this, Fang Hongan also became interested.

He threw the purse onto the table with great pride.

"Come on! Count the money!"

　I'll be busy as hell tomorrow, I'm afraid I'll forget to update! I'll update first!

　　It’s in the first round of recommendations, I’m begging you to read it!
