Chapter 7 Ask for Quotes

It was still dark outside, and the sound of small footsteps could already be heard in the living room.

Li Dong tumbled to his feet and hurriedly put on his clothes and pushed out the door.

Just as Li Chengyuan was about to go out, he was stunned when he saw his son dressed and walked out. He said with concern, "Did you wake up? You rest tomorrow, go back to sleep a little longer, it's only after two o'clock."

"No, I got up by myself." Li Dong hurriedly washed his face with cold water and said, "Dad, I'll go with you!"

Before Mom got up, Li Dong lowered his voice.

Under normal circumstances, my father goes to buy the goods first, and then my mother goes to open the stall, so I can sleep a little more than my father every day.

"What are you doing with me? Go back to sleep, it's cold outside..."

"Dad, I'll go take a look. I've been selling fish for so many years, and I haven't been to the place where you buy it. Anyway, I'll just come back to make up my sleep when I'm fine during the day."

Pushing his father out the door without any reason, Li Chengyuan had no choice but to let his son follow.

The weather in April is not too cold, but the dew at night is still a bit cold.

Li Dong tightened his shirt, Li Chengyuan had already taken out the pedal tricycle that was transporting goods downstairs, greeted Li Dong to sit down and rode the tricycle to the suburbs.

Along the way, the father and son did not speak much, and most of the time there was silence between the father and the son.

It was not until nearly 20 minutes of riding that a light came from the dark place, and there was a faint voice.

Li Chengyuan found a place to stop the tricycle, patted Li Dong's shoulder and introduced it as he walked.

"This is the Dongping Market. We usually buy goods here. Not only us, but also all kinds of vegetables and fruits. They are all delivered by large trucks at night, and they leave at dawn."

"Usually there are also erdao dealers from the countryside who also sell here. If you come early, you can sometimes encounter some good things. Not to mention cheap, it's still easy to sell."

"But you have to look carefully. These guys are not easy to deal with. It's not one or two times that they are shoddy. It's often dark under the lights. For example, some dead shrimp are mixed with live shrimp..."

"Also, sometimes some wholesalers come late, and the ones who come first are called high prices. If they don't buy goods, they are afraid that the goods will be sold out when the people behind them don't come. They grit their teeth and buy high-priced goods. As a result, the wholesalers come again later. The price will drop, and those who buy in front will lose money, and if they can't sell at a high price, they will have to lose money..."

Li Chengyuan introduced Li Dong all the way, not thinking about letting his son take his class, but letting his son have more life experience.

These experiences are only known by veteran vendors like them, otherwise they make money, why are so many newly opened stalls closing down at a loss.

No matter what job you do in the future, more experience is always good.

Li Dong listened obediently, and looked at the aquatic products in the large trucks from time to time.

Li Chengyuan had a familiar supplier, and he led Li Dong for a few minutes before stopping by a truck at the corner.

"Old Wang, do you have any good goods this time? Yesterday, half of your shrimp died. You still cheated on me and lost more than one hundred yuan..."

Li Chengyuan greeted him loudly across the distance. Several people were squatting beside the truck to see the goods. A short and fat middle-aged man hurriedly turned around and laughed and scolded: "As soon as I heard it, I knew it was your big mouth who messed up my business. Are you happy? I told you that some shrimp died yesterday, didn't I give you a bargain..."

While the two were chatting, Li Chengyuan began to look at the goods. The Li family's stall was not large, and there were not many items in it, so there was no need to go to several suppliers, this one was enough.

Li Dong was not idle either, and while his father was looking at the goods, he wandered around to see if there were any lobsters.

I looked at seven or eight houses before and after, and sure enough, Dongping is not interested in this kind of thing. There are, but there are very few.

A few of them together may not weigh five hundred pounds. This is the largest aquatic product wholesale market in Dongping. The sales volume of lobsters in the entire Dongping County is only so little in one day.

Even if it is not yet the season to officially eat lobster,

But the nearly 400,000 people in Dongping County eat too few lobsters.

Li Dong is a little disappointed, can't he go to the countryside to buy it?

Although Dongping is located inland, there are many rivers and lakes, and lobsters can breed quickly and feed well.

There are quite a few things in the countryside, but not many people sell them. People in the countryside like to use them to feed chickens and ducks.

"Ugh!"

With a sigh, could it be that it is not good for me to be a teacher, and I have to think of other methods for the first pot of gold?

While frowning, Lao Wang, who was talking to his father just now, came over, handed a cigarette and said with a smile, "Wa Zi, from Lao Li's family?"

"Well, thanks!"

Naturally, he took the cigarette and lit it with the fire. Li Dong took a deep breath, and then he remembered that he forgot to smoke when he was reborn.

This is a good thing. In my last life, I smoked a lot in sales, and I couldn't wash off the smell of cigarettes. I lost several orders for this.

"I see you turning around, are you going to pick up your dad's booth?" Lao Wang couldn't help but smile when he saw that the young man in front of him was smoking skillfully, and it seemed that he was also an old smoker.

"Hehe, I haven't thought of it yet. Just take a look, by the way, Uncle Wang, I don't think there are many lobsters?" Li Dong pretended to say something casually. After all, Old Wang is an expert, and he must know better than himself.

After puffing out the smoke ring, Lao Wang smiled and said: "That stuff is not easy to sell, and the price is not high. I heard that it is very easy to sell in Pingchuan, but we have no way there, and the journey is long, so we don't bother to pay. that god."

"What's the matter, do you have an idea?"

Li Dong's heart moved, it's really not easy to do business. He thought that no one knew the market situation in Pingchuan, but he didn't expect Lao Wang to know.

Fortunately, these wholesalers in Dongping are only guarding their own three-thirds of an acre of land, and few have the ambition to go to the provincial capital, otherwise they will not be able to get their hands on them.

"Can you have any ideas? It tasted good at the barbecue stall last night. I don't think that if the market is good, my dad will buy some goods and make some money."

Li Dong avoided the weight and dealt with it lightly, and continued: "Uncle Wang, do you think I can sell it in Dongping if I put in a few thousand pounds?"

"Hehe, it's a bit difficult. But this thing is durable. Even if it is left out of water for a week, it won't die. If it's a few thousand catties, it shouldn't be a loss, but I'm afraid it won't make any money. It's exhausting and laborious."

Lao Wang sneered at Li Dong's idea, but he didn't persuade him. The young man's thoughts were more normal. Anyway, he wasn't his son, and it wasn't his fault.

"I want to try it, Uncle Wang. I don't think there are many wholesale lobsters. It's hard to get a few thousand pounds, right?" Li Dong continued.

"Haha, then you're wrong. There's a lot of this stuff in the countryside, but you're too lazy to buy it, and the profit is too small. If you really want it, it's not difficult for your Uncle Wang to get you a thousand pounds."

Old Wang secretly said, no matter how small a mosquito's legs are, it's still meat. If this kid can really get in ten thousand pounds of goods, the profit will be several thousand.

Hearing Lao Wang's words, Li Dong was overjoyed and turned around. It seems that the money has been earned by himself.

He quickly greeted Lao Wang and said in a low voice, "Uncle Wang, I really have some ideas. Can you tell me how much a pound of this lobster is purchased for?"

"Two yuan for the red shell and one five for the green shell, how much do you want?" Lao Wang is a connoisseur, and the price comes at will.

The green shell is not easy to sell, Li Dong is not interested, the red shell is only two yuan and five, and it is almost incomparable with the later generations at every thirty or forty.

But now he still doesn't know the market situation in the provincial capital, although he knows it must be higher than Dongping, but Li Dong doesn't want to take risks, he thought about it and said, "Uncle Wang, give me a call, I'll go back and think about it, and then I'll think about it. give you a call."

"Your dad has..."

"Don't, don't tell my dad, you know, my dad is timid. If my dad finds out, I will definitely not agree. I think I will try it myself first, and then I will tell my dad if I make money. "

Lao Wang is a good person, and he doesn't do business to make money for nothing. Hearing that, he hurriedly handed a business card to Li Dong.

It doesn't matter if the business doesn't work, anyway, it's just a business card. If it's a few thousand dollars, it's not bad. The lobster stuff is only a pound per pound in the countryside.

After chatting with Lao Wang for a few more words, there was someone over there who wanted to settle the bill, and Lao Wang started to get busy and didn't have time to chat with Li Dong again.

Eggs cannot be placed in one basket. Seeing that his father was still arguing, Li Dong continued to visit a few businesses that had just sold lobsters, and used the same method to get a few business cards before giving up.

Back to Lao Wang again, Li Chengyuan has already stocked up.

Seeing Li Dong coming, he smiled and said, "How is it? Have you ever seen such a variety of aquatic products before? Our stall is small and there are not many varieties. When we have some spare money, we will also set up a storefront."

Li Dong smiled and perfunctory, secretly said that the stall is small enough for you to be busy, and if it is big, it will not be exhausting.

Just like Mom and Dad, she must be reluctant to hire someone, regardless of whether you can make money or not, it would be better to end the business as soon as possible.

After chatting a few words with my father, Li Chengyuan had to go back to the market to prepare to open a stall. Li Dong didn't go with him and went home first.

He was going to go to the provincial capital today to explore the way. He stayed in Pingchuan for twelve years, and it was not difficult to find a way there.

If you can really make money, you have to prepare for distribution.

As for the matter of capital, I have my own way. Taking advantage of the information gap when it is officially entering the summer, I can make a good fortune.

Once the news of Pingchuan spreads, Dongping's businessmen will not let go no matter how stupid they are.

No matter it’s connections or channel costs, they can’t compare to them. At that time, no matter how much meat you have, you won’t be able to get your own share. If you are tired during this time, you will be tired.

Thinking of this, Li Dong couldn't help but speed up a bit.
