Chapter 288: Money

"Then you might as well take my life!"

"See! You're not trying hard at all. Okay, let's eat first. After we're done, we'll go back and discuss important matters."

After dinner, Wu Haotian and Chen Ou returned to the guesthouse, while Zhou Xiang and Zhou Yizhou went to his apartment.

"Little sister, what do you think we should do? I'll cooperate, but I haven't paid for your watermelon seeds yet! The watermelons have all been ordered by my company. How about forcing them to pair it with dried seafood?"

Zhou Xiang shook his head. "No, no one would agree to this kind of thing from the overall perspective. Going back on one's word is a big taboo in life."

"I still want to beat that bastard up. So, let's call the police and search his house. As long as they find your letter, it will prove he did it."

"My letter is unsigned and uninscribed. He doesn't know who wrote it, and he won't keep it."

"Oh! I feel so uncomfortable!"

Zhou Xiang ignored his nagging, thought for a while, and asked, "How much are you going to pay for my watermelon seeds?"

"The watermelons taste almost the same as in the spring. We sell them for one yuan a pound. You can tell me the price of the seeds!"

"I weighed it, and it was 15 kilograms of seeds. Even though the seeds are large, there are more than 4,000 seeds in one kilogram. I don't care about the rate of seeding. I just want 1.5 yuan per seed."

Zhou Yizhou was stunned when he heard this, then burst into laughter, "Hahaha, that's great, this time we have at least 700,000 yuan in income. After deducting the labor and land rental costs for the greenhouse, there is at least 400,000 yuan left. Everyone is waiting to share the money. I work so hard, and they sit there with their legs crossed to collect the money. I feel suffocated.

Haha, you want one dollar and fifty cents a pill, and based on a pound of 4,000 pills, you'll take away ninety thousand yuan, and then each unit will pay half and credit the other half, hahaha, those people are happy for nothing."

Zhou Xiang looked at the man in front of him who was laughing heartily, "Is it really that serious? If you don't want them to take their money for nothing, then just quit!"

Zhou Yizhou suppressed his smile and said seriously, "I can't let my father down. Even if I only focus on greenhouse farming in the future, even if I specialize in dealing with farmers, I can't be a idle young man who just eats and waits for death."

"I understand. I was actually just planning to take some money as a token of my appreciation. It was a gift from someone, and I took a bit too much. I thought it would be a waste to fry it and eat it.

Since someone from your unit dares to impersonate you and cheat my friend, you have to accept the result of high-priced seeds.

Also, you can tell those people that the seeds you save will return to the original watermelon taste without being cultivated. Those who don’t believe it can try it for a few months.

You! Just let those who don't believe in it do it, and take a few months off."

"Oh! Little sister, you are my biological sister. It just so happens that someone is jealous, so I will let him do the job and even let him use the greenhouse and melon farm.

Don't worry, I'll go back and tell them right away. As long as I say that someone pretended to be me and angered the person who provided the good seeds, that person can be caught immediately without even calling the police.

What about the dried seafood issue? Those companies were also deceived. If you disagree with me, what are your own thoughts?

"I'm going to have you spread the word that if you buy two kilograms of seafood, you can buy one kilogram of the same fruit as before, and there's a limit on purchases. Each person can only buy ten kilograms of seafood."

"Oh my god! Little sister, you want to make people who have eaten fruit break their heads! You can only buy five kilograms of fruit if you buy ten kilograms of seafood, and you limit the purchase to ten kilograms, so five kilograms of fruit only means ten pieces.

Those who want to eat this fruit will go crazy. Oh, right? Didn't you say they didn't sell it anymore? Wasn't it ten yuan each? Why are they selling it by the pound now?

"The fruit is a new round of semi-finished products. I guess there won't be any more in the future. It's better to do business with it than to do it with something you already know. So this last batch was given to me. I was going to make you proud, but now it's impossible.

Also, I'm worried someone might report me. Shouldn't I have a license and tax certificate for selling food? "

"I'll take care of this. The license is long-term, so just write "retail." The tax registration is temporary. You don't need to rent a shop, just sell it in the warehouse. I guess they'll be sold out in a few days.

Bring me the warehouse lease contract and your household registration booklet, and I'll get it ready for you in two days."

"Okay, I'll put everything in this building tomorrow and you can come get it. This time the amount is too much, so give it to me in a separate anonymous passbook."

"Then wait until the license is issued and start selling the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, I'd like to relax for the next two days. By the way, can you lend me your warehouse? I'll borrow it for two days at most."

"No problem, I'll bring you the key tomorrow."

Zhou Yizhou left first, and Zhou Xiang stayed for a long time before leaving.

When they arrived at the warehouse, Wu Haotian and his colleagues were worried about half of the warehouse full of dried seafood.

"What do you think we should do if we can't even think about girls?"

"At worst, all my hard work this year will be for nothing! This isn't just your fault. The three of us are just like that. We were all greedy and wanted to get rich overnight."

Zhou Xiang knocked on the half-open door of the warehouse. "What are you doing? Hurry up, I'll assign you some work."

Five people, no, six people turned around.

Zhong Xiong was the most anxious. "Think about it, my sister is back. Do you have any ideas? Just tell me what work you want me to do."

"Yeah! I have a great idea. I can sell these dried seafood, but I have to sell them in bulk, in batches of five or ten kilograms."

"Don't worry, as long as I can sell it, what tricks do I have?"

"Let's not worry about that for now. First, go to the flea market and buy some broken tables. Line them up at the door and use them as a counter. Try to have as many as possible, around twenty! If you don't have that many, a broken cabinet will do, as long as it can block people out.

Then, we'll buy three scales, six people, three to weigh the goods and three to collect the money, in pairs."

Twelve eyes of six people were watching her, and they heard her words clearly, but they didn't understand what she meant. Was it necessary to buy three scales?

"What do you mean? Why do you need so many scales?"

"I'm worried that three scales won't be enough, because my clever trick might trigger a rush to buy. So, your best bet is to pack each seafood by the pound, so you don't get too busy. By the way, your regular seafood will be 8 yuan per pound, mid-range seafood will be 15 yuan per pound, and high-end seafood will be 50 yuan per pound."

Zhong Xiong touched her head directly. She didn't have a fever! Ordinary seafood was brought back at one yuan per pound. Including shipping and labor, the cost was at most two yuan. Mid-range ones cost only four yuan, and high-end ones cost ten yuan.

Is this an intended robbery?

Zhou Xiang slapped his hand away and said, "If you don't believe me, forget it. You don't dare to ask for a high price. Just don't regret it."

Wu Haotian stopped Zhong Xiong and looked directly into Zhou Xiang's eyes. "What trick did you use?"

It seems like no one believes it! "How about this! You just do what I say first. Tonight, I'll bring you my tricks. I guarantee you'll be convinced and believe I can sell it at the price I say."
