Idle Chats in the 60s

Jiang Mengxue dreamed that she would return to several decades ago. She decisively sold all her property and filled the warehouse space of the bracelet left by her grandmother.

When Gu Qingbe...

Chapter 390 Fight

Jiang Mengxue took out a piece of paper with what she could take out on it.

No quantity, no price.

These are all things the two of them want to talk about.

"I can take out everything on this paper. How much do you want? What's the price you can offer?"

Guan Hongqi took it with doubt.

Refined rice and flour, multi-grain flour, coarse cornmeal, coarse cornmeal, and sorghum flour.

Pork lard, soybean oil, bacon.

There aren't many varieties, but there's no limit on quantity.

Guan Hongqi knew what it meant.

He took off the pen pinned on his shirt, filled in the price on the back, and handed it back to Jiang Mengxue.

Jiang Mengxue picked it up and took a quick look at it, feeling very satisfied.

Rice flour costs 1.4 yuan, corn flour costs 0.9 yuan, sorghum flour costs 0.8 yuan, and miscellaneous grain flour costs 0.8 yuan.

Pork is one dollar and ninety cents, pork fat is two dollars and twenty cents, soybean oil is two dollars, and bacon is two dollars and fifty cents.

The prices are not low.

“To be honest, this price is based on the current black market price.

It’s not certain after a month, it may go up or down.

It mainly depends on how the harvest is this year.

But it looks like this year is really bad. The supply in many places is decreasing, and it is even becoming impossible to buy food.

If the harvest is not good this year, the price of grain on the black market will probably increase several times.

We who do business are afraid of not being able to see the situation clearly.

To be honest, I can't see clearly right now. If we raise prices next month, we'll lose a lot of money. If we lower prices, we'll make a lot of money. What do you think?"

Guan Hongqi was not blind to the situation. He worked as a buyer in a large factory and came into contact with so many people.

For example, the food and vegetables for their factory are all provided by the farm, and he knows the current situation better than anyone else.

What these buyers purchase is considered extra, mainly some scarce items.

There is a shortage of both grain and meat factories.

It’s been hard to find things these past few months, whether in the city or in the countryside.

He wanted to keep the grain for a while, as it would definitely be easier to sell in two months.

Even if the harvest comes, the supply in the city will decrease. Then people will not have enough food to eat and will have to buy it on the black market.

But it also depends on Jiang Mengxue's opinion. What if she can't wait until then?

He didn't have enough money to buy the food she provided for two or three months.

Jiang Mengxue naturally knew this, but she felt it was unnecessary.

Anyway, there will be no loss in food, it’s just a matter of how much profit you make.

The food in the space could not be eaten up in several lifetimes, so she just wanted to process as much as possible.

Help as many people as you can, it's a good deed.

"It's okay, just go ahead and buy this batch of food, the amount every month after that won't be less than this time.

Now many people can’t buy food at the grain station, so let’s just get through this month first.

If you have the ability, it's not impossible to increase the amount to 10,000 kilograms. What do you think?"

Even if we can't help many people, a few hundred people can still help.

Guan Hongqi's eyes lit up, but he immediately calmed down.

With a somewhat embarrassed expression, he blushed and said, "I have a maximum of 8,000 yuan in my hand right now. You..."

Jiang Mengxue borrowed paper and pen and started to settle the accounts.

"3,000 catties of rice and flour cost 4,200 yuan, 3,000 catties of corn flour cost 2,700 yuan, 3,000 catties of sorghum flour cost 2,400 yuan, and 3,000 catties of miscellaneous grain flour cost 2,400 yuan, for a total of 11,700 yuan.

Because the pork comes from a whole head, the price of each part is different. Let's calculate it based on one or two yuan, which is about 1,200 kilograms.

300 jin of lard costs 660 yuan, 300 jin of soybean oil costs 600 yuan, and 500 jin of bacon costs 1,250 yuan.

The total is 15,610 yuan, so forget about the 10 yuan.

I'll give you some more fruits, such as apples, watermelons and so on.

You give me 8,000 first, and I'll come back in a month to settle the rest. What do you think?"

After all this, not only were the two brothers of the Guan family stunned, even Jiang Mengxue was a little surprised.

This income is completely net income, and she didn't spend a penny.

More than ten thousand yuan a month, many people in later generations cannot do it.

Guan Hongqi's blood boiled after hearing this.

With so many things, he would definitely make a lot of money if he sold them.

What's more, the other party is willing to pay half of the payment first. He is simply a living Bodhisattva.

If he is still unwilling to do so even after all this, then he deserves to be unlucky.

Guan Hongjun couldn't help it. Seeing that his brother didn't say anything, he was afraid that his brother would not dare to accept it.

The amount of food is indeed not small, and it is true that they can make money, but the risks are definitely not small.

"Let's, shall we? Brother, say something!"

Guan Hongqi was shocked by this number.

He has been doing black market business for several years. It is considered good if his subordinates can receive several hundred kilograms of grain at a time, and they can make some money by reselling it.

But he couldn't even think about something weighing tens of thousands of pounds.

He was unwilling to accept the few dozen dollars he earned every month from work.

Otherwise, they wouldn't take the risk of doing black market business.

Apart from anything else, if he follows what Jiang Mengxue gave him and does it for a few months, he will be able to lie still at home.

I earn about 30 yuan a month in the factory. How long would it take to earn 10,000 yuan? I'd have to go without food or drink for decades.

He didn't make much money before, but with the batch of watches he bought, he saved a total of more than 8,000 yuan.

He didn't say it was much this time, but he could still earn a few thousand yuan.

When the time comes, I will find a stable job for my younger brother, and help him get married so that he can live a good life.

Thinking of this, his eyes became firm.

He looked up at Jiang Mengxue and said, "Okay, I'll give you 8,000 yuan first, and I'll finish processing this batch of goods within a month.

No one will ever find you, and even if something happens, it won’t have anything to do with you.”

Then he went back to the house to get the money.

I really can’t bear to put the box of money in my hand.

All his savings are here, not only that, he will also owe some money later.

But you can earn it back sooner or later.

Reluctantly handed over the money.

Jiang Mengxue didn't hesitate and took it and counted it carefully.

Exactly eight thousand, no more, no less.

“It’s still a cave in the suburbs, you can go and transport the things tonight.

Although few people go to that place, it is safer to transport it to your own place.

"The 25th of next month is a weekend, so I'll come again that day, still here.

By the way, please prepare more bags for food next time. I don’t have enough food to go out.

During this time, you have time to send the empty bags to the cave, and I have time to send someone to get them."

Jiang Mengxue was about to leave after saying that. It was almost time to get off work, and Jiang Mengran came back with his calligraphy.

Guan Hongqi didn't keep anyone here. At this late hour, could he not keep anyone here for dinner?

Besides, she has important things to do now.

The money has been paid, so of course we have to get the goods back quickly.

If anything goes wrong with this batch of goods, he will be dead.

"Hurry up and find someone. We'll go pick up the goods tonight. I'll go check on the things first. I feel uneasy if no one is watching over me.

Bring people over there in the middle of the night and tell everyone to keep their mouths shut. Don't tell anyone at home about this. This matter must not be spread outside."
