Chapter 15 Gifts with ‘Taste’
Qiao Ge thought for a while and finally told Sen'ao and others the approximate price of hair export.
After knowing the truth, everyone was shocked. How big a profit is this?
How can humble hair be so profitable?
However, they still know that it is not possible for everyone to find a buyer and be able to export to make Qiao Ge so much money.
"Qiao Ge, can we buy hair and sell it to you at their price?" Lahudi said suddenly.
"Yes, I have this idea too." Morigao also said, "We can find someone to help buy some hair. What do you think, Qiao Ge?"
Gao Misha also expressed his position and wanted to help buy hair.
The three of them were businessmen and quickly calculated their profits from the hair trade.
Qogo exports cotton, and the profit is about 2 rupees per kilogram, while their suppliers earn even less, mostly less than 1 rupee per kilogram.
According to what Gal and the others purchased before, they can still earn 5 rupees per kilogram of hair, a 5 times difference, and only a lot more.
This made them very excited.
"Okay." Qiao Ge said with a smile, "But I don't think the three uncles need to recruit people to buy private hair like Gal and others. With your conditions, you can go to temples around Mumbai to buy hair. I believe that these temples buy hair. Most of the prices are 10 rupees per kilogram, so the purchase price I give you is 20 rupees per kilogram.”
"Really?" Sen'ao said in surprise.
Gaomisha and Lahudi stared at Qiao Ge closely.
They know that most of those temples have stored hair for nearly two months, and each temple has two or three tons of hair. In other words, as long as they take the hair from one temple, they can earn 20,000 to 30,000 rupees.
For example, Sen'ao provided 200 bales of cotton to Qiaogo this time. In fact, he only earned about 10 US dollars per bale of cotton, which is 25,200 rupees when converted into rupees.
The profit of a temple is the same as the 200 bales of cotton he worked so hard to purchase. How can he not be tempted?
"Qiaogo, are we taking advantage of you?" Sen'ao quickly said, "After all, you can buy the hair from these temples yourself."
These words made Lahudi and Gaomisha look a little embarrassed. They were indeed suspected of competing for Qiao Ge's benefits.
Qiao Ge couldn't help but smiled and said: "How far can I run by myself? Now that I have three uncles helping me, it's too late to thank me? The Chinese said that they need less than 100 tons. How can I do it within seven days by myself?" I can collect so much.”
Qiao Ge has no intention of living alone. With the help of Sen'ao and the others, he can buy more hair. The benefits to Sen'ao and the others are not worth mentioning compared to what he earns.
As for whether Sen'ao and the others would do their own hair and find a buyer after they knew they were making money, Qiao Ge didn't care much.
What he wants is to quickly accumulate some original capital now. Hair is about making money, but after all, the total amount is here and the upper limit is limited.
If you really want to make a lot of money, you have to rely on other industries.
There is nothing wrong with leaving the hair business to them in the future, they are all our own.
"Qiaogo is right." Old Gupta finally made the final decision.
Singer secretly marveled at the side. No wonder this kid has been thinking about hair. It turns out that making money like this makes him a little excited. But after all, he is not a businessman, so he will not go into the hair business like Senao and others.
"You two should be careful outside, and don't do crazy things." Old Gupta warned the two of them.
"Yes, we took note of it. In fact, we really didn't touch the murders, arson, drug trafficking, etc." Jiajiem assured hurriedly.
The slums are filled with all sorts of evil.
Porn, gambling, drugs, gangs, human traffickers, red light districts, drug addicts, murder, kidnapping, extortion, all kinds of evil can be found here.
Children here often disappear for no reason, or someone suddenly drowns in a smelly ditch without anyone taking care of it.
In the slums, a human life is worth less than a dog.
Gangs are certainly one of the biggest evils.
Qiao Ge didn't say anything. They were mixed in society, and some things were definitely not so bright. This was the way the world was, and it was very rare to be able to hold on to some bottom lines.
This is also one of the reasons why Qiao Ge allows the two of them to make money. If they have legitimate means of making money, there is no need to use some evil means.
‘Dong dong dong’, someone knocked on the door again.
Aunt Sesi went to open the door. When the two people standing outside came in, the faces of everyone in the room instantly darkened.
Gal and Jiajiem rushed in front of the two people who came in almost instantly, shaking their fists and wanting to take action.
"You two, stop." Qiao Ge shouted.
The visitors were Gudali Peace and Dinu Pashir.
They were old Gupta's friends, but this time, they acted too unkindly.
There is also a face door, which Qiao Ge finds a bit strange.
"Namastui (an Indian expression of greeting), Dingwa, how is your injury now? I know a very good doctor, do you want to go and see him?" Gudali Peace put his hands together and said with a smile, It was as if Jia Jie and Mu didn't see what they had just done.
In India, the height of the hands when greeting and clasping hands is very particular.
For the elderly, it should be high, with the hands at least level with the forehead; for the younger ones, it should be low, maybe even with the chest; for the juniors, it should be flat, with the hands between the chest and chin.
Dinu Pashir, who was behind Gudali, put aside several gifts he was carrying.
When Qiao Ge saw the gifts they brought, his face turned green. Fortunately, others didn't notice much.
What kind of gift is it?
A cake and a drink.
Logically speaking, this is nothing, right?
It looks normal.
But the problem is that these two materials are too special and have too 'flavor'.
Cow dung cakes and cow urine drinks.
Just like the literal meaning.
Cow dung cakes are made by mixing cow dung and thatch and then drying them in the sun. They can be given as high-end gifts to friends during holidays.
Even if it's not a holiday, this is still a valuable gift.
The status of cows in India is extremely high, otherwise how could there be such a thing as the Indian sacred cow?
Indians believe that everything about cows carries a sacred aura.
Cow dung is no exception. When cow dung burns, the fireworks produced can remove bad luck and bring good luck.
There are many cow dung factories in India, and cow dung cakes of different prices are matched with different grades of packaging.
The packaging brought by Gudali and his two colleagues was very exquisite and expensive. It was equivalent to the monthly income of an ordinary person, which was several hundred rupees.
Cow urine drink, which literally means it, is made from cow urine. It is also very popular in India and is said to be more popular than Coca-Cola in India.
This drink is at least processed, and there are stronger ones, which are drank directly from cow urine. According to the explanation, it is naturally used to cure diseases, pray for blessings, and bring good luck.
Wasn't there a cow dung war?
It is also considered a festival in India.
In the years since the COVID-19 outbreak, many Indians smeared cow dung on their bodies, saying it could resist the virus and eliminate it.
This is considered a local custom in India. Under the crazy religious beliefs, many things are not surprising, but Qiaogo really can't accept it.
