Chapter 477 He was sweating profusely from worrying about not having enough money.
With this trading volume, Lao Qian is starting to worry that he might not have enough money.
After all, they rented a house and bought a truck.
Su Niannian smiled when she saw Lao Qian's subconscious action.
"If you don't have enough money, you can pay on credit!"
Old Qian felt somewhat relieved after hearing Su Niannian's words.
I didn't expect there to be so many things.
"Let's do it the same way as before, weigh it first and calculate the money," Old Qian said.
If he could avoid buying on credit, Lao Qian would definitely prefer not to.
He was afraid that buying on credit would make Su Niannian feel useless.
Old Qian only hoped that the money he brought would be enough to pay for everything.
Most of his underlings had traded with Su Niannian in Long County.
The process was also very familiar; they moved the items out of the warehouse and weighed them one by one.
Then write down how many kilograms each item weighs.
After everything was weighed, the younger brother handed Old Qian a sheet of paper with the recorded quantities of each item.
Old Qian took a look and exclaimed, "Wow, there's a lot of stuff!"
Su Niannian brought out quite a lot of things this time, after all, her spatial storage was already full.
Su Niannian also wanted to clear out the space.
There are no grains like sorghum or corn this time.
These two types of grains don't sell for high prices, so last time I told Gu Nan not to plant them anymore.
There wasn't much left, so I just set it aside, keeping it for myself to eat or to give away.
The grains traded this time were all rice and wheat.
They are all refined grains, and they sell for a high price.
“Because we’ve saved on transportation costs, and this is Beijing, I’ll raise the price by two cents per pound. What do you think?” Old Qian said to Su Niannian after looking at the order form.
Old Qian had already raised the price once before, and now raising it by another two cents is to pass on the shipping costs to Su Niannian.
This is the greatest sincerity that Lao Qian can offer.
As Lao Qian spoke, he handed the form in his hand to Su Niannian.
Because it was a transaction with Lao Qian, the rice hadn't been threshed yet. The original price was seven cents a pound, but now it had been raised to nine cents, which Su Niannian thought was quite reasonable.
After all, there is still about 20% loss when detaching.
"We only need to raise the price of grains and fruits by two cents, but potatoes, sweet potatoes, and green vegetables don't need to be raised," Su Niannian said.
Potatoes and sweet potatoes only cost a few cents a pound in the market; they're hard to sell even for a dime. I used to sell them to Old Qian for three cents a pound.
If you raise the price by two cents on top of the three cents, it would be about eight to ten times the market price.
It might not sell so well then.
Although Su Niannian likes money, she is not a greedy person.
When it comes to making money, I want to earn more for myself, and I also hope that the people I work with also have a certain profit margin.
Old Qian was somewhat moved by Su Niannian's words, but in his estimation, this price was something that could be easily offset.
Old Qian has already inquired and found out that grain as good as Su Niannian's was sold for 1.8 yuan a while ago.
That's 1.8 yuan! Old Qian didn't even dare to dream of it. Rice at the supply and marketing cooperative cost 18 cents and required a coupon, while rice on the black market cost 30 or 40 cents and didn't require a coupon.
Su Niannian's rice can sell for 1.8 yuan!
Old Qian knew that the price increase was due to scarcity, but in his opinion, wealthy families in Beijing could still sell it for around 1.5 yuan.
Therefore, even though unthreshed rice was bought for nine cents a pound, there was still a lot of room for maneuver.
Old Qian also factored in the 20% casing wear and tear.
You'll still make a lot of money!
"Just listen to me, I won't do a business that loses money." Old Qian gave a simple and honest smile.
Seeing Lao Qian like this, Su Niannian felt that it was no accident that Lao Qian had achieved what he had today.
Old Qian is very good at dealing with people! Such a person knows how to make money wisely.
There will always be a steady stream of money to be made.
Since Lao Qian insisted, Su Niannian nodded.
Old Qian took a pen and wrote the price on the back of each item, then started calculating the bill.
I don’t know if it was because of the hot weather, but Lao Qian was sweating a bit.
I guess he was worried that the 10,000 yuan in his pocket wouldn't be enough to pay for it.
"Four thousand catties each of wheat and rice, totaling eight thousand catties, at nine mao per catty, that's seven thousand two hundred yuan."
"Tomatoes, cucumbers, green beans, green peppers, and cabbage, two hundred catties each, totaling one thousand two catties. At five cents per catty, that's six hundred yuan."
"The sweet potatoes and potatoes weigh a total of 1,000 jin, and at 5 mao per jin, that's 500 yuan."
"There are 400 jin each of apples, pears, peaches, and dates. That's a total of 1,600 jin. Last time it was 4 mao per jin, now it's 6 mao, that's 960 yuan!"
After Lao Qian finished calculating, he handed the list back to Su Niannian.
Su Niannian thought that 60 cents a pound for fruit was actually not bad.
However, those vegetables cost 50 cents a pound, which was indeed too expensive.
Looking at Lao Qian, Lao Qian said, "It's not expensive! The products are good, and rich people are willing to buy them."
But even though Lao Qian said that vegetables cost five cents a pound... meat on the black market is only one dollar a pound!
Old Qian noticed Su Niannian's concerns and explained his methods to her.
This means that if some profit can be made from rice and flour, these vegetables and fruits can definitely be sold if the price is increased by one cent.
Seeing Lao Qian's confident expression, Su Niannian nodded.
Anyway, Su Niannian plans to plant fewer vegetables in her space.
After all, vegetables are already widely available this season, and there is no shortage in the market.
However, it's still good to have a variety of fruits.
Good, high-quality fruit can still fetch a good price.
I calculated the total price, and it came to 9,260 yuan.
"Then let's make it nine thousand yuan," Su Niannian suggested, offering to round it down.
But Lao Qian still counted out 9,260 yuan and gave it to Su Niannian.
"One thing at a time! You can treat me to dinner, but as for the transaction, the amount is still the same!" Old Qian said seriously.
Old Qian couldn't shortchange Su Niannian by even a penny, since they were going to do business together for the long term.
As long as this deal with Su Niannian continues to go well, he will make countless amounts of money.
Old Qian understood this principle very well.
At this point, Lao Qian had enough money in his pocket to pay Su Niannian, and he stopped sweating.
Seeing this, Su Niannian didn't refuse anymore.
She put the money away; at this point, Su Niannian had nearly 52,000 yuan in her hands.
In those days, 52,000 yuan was a huge sum of money!
Seeing the two happily reach a deal, Lü Hongliang was quite envious.
Seeing Lü Hongliang's expression, Su Niannian smiled and spoke.
"Brother Lü, don't worry, your business will be able to start soon!" Su Niannian said.
