After returning to the educated youth point, Chu Tian carried the sack of bananas back to the dugout where he and Yao Xiujuan lived. Thinking that Yao Xiujuan was sleeping in the inner room, Chu Tian did not go in. Instead, he stood in the outer kitchen, took the banana out of the sack and cut it in half. Just as he was about to put one half on the stove, he heard movement from the inner room. He turned his head and found Yao Xiujuan walking towards him, neatly dressed.

"Xiu Li, it's still dark outside, you don't need to get up so early! Go back to sleep. Oh, and I left some ripe bananas on the table. They can't be left there for long. When you wake up, take them and eat them."

As he said this, he put the other half of the banana into the sack. When he was about to carry the sack out, he suddenly heard Yao Xiuli asking.

"Brother-in-law, don't you want to have breakfast?"

Chu Tian waved his hand without even turning his head. "No, you don't have to leave us food in the morning. We may not be able to make it back in time for lunch."

After saying that, he walked out of the dugout and handed the sack in his hand to Sun Weiguo, "Weiguo, here are nearly four pounds of bananas that I promised you yesterday. If you like them when you go back, I'll save some for you next time!"

Sun Weiguo took it with surprise, "Brother Tian, ​​how much do these cost?"

Chu Tian thought about it and said generously, "Today's salary is enough to cover these bananas."

Sun Weiguo looked at Chu Tian hesitantly, "A day's wages will be enough for so many bananas? Brother Tian, ​​you won't pay for it out of your own pocket, right?"

Chu Tian punched him, "How is that possible? If it were sold on the black market, it definitely wouldn't be this price. We're eating it ourselves, so they're only paying the purchase price!"

Sun Weiguo understood and asked happily while holding the sack, "Let's go, then? It's almost ten o'clock when we get to the regiment now."

Chu Tian nodded and glanced sideways at Yao Youjun, "Youjun, let's go."

When they arrived at the regiment, Chu Tian arranged for Yao Youjun to wait at the intersection of Xu Fei's house, while he took Sun Weiguo and continued to Xu Fei's house.

"Brother Li Gang, has Director Liu arrived?"

As soon as he entered the yard, Chu Tian couldn't wait to ask.

Li Gang shook his head. "No, this isn't the place he and I agreed to meet. This is Xu Fei's home. I only bring people I trust."

Chu Tian understood, "Bananas are afraid of freezing. Should we unload the bananas first?"

Li Gang misjudged himself. "Unload, unload first. Director Liu and I had an appointment at 10:30. It's only 10 o'clock now. There's no rush."

Chu Tian saw Li Gang about to put the banana next to the fire wall and hurriedly stopped him, "Brother Li Gang, you can't put it in a place that is too hot. It should be placed in a cool place that is not frozen..."

Li Gang was stunned when he heard this, then put it under the window. It was neither hot nor cold, the temperature was just right!

"Is this banana quite delicate?"

Chu Tian nodded, "Isn't it delicate? If you touch its skin, you will know that it is different from the fruits we usually eat..."

After a pause, he continued, "Brother Li Gang, I have to remind you that this banana is already about 70% ripe. If it is stored properly, it should be fine for a week. But if it is kept for a longer time, the skin will probably turn black. However, as long as it is not rotten, it can still be eaten. It just doesn't look very good, and I guess it won't sell for a high price..."

Li Gang burst into laughter. "Brother Chu, are you kidding me? How can it take a week to sell these 300 kilograms of bananas? I don't even need to take them to other black market outlets. I can sell them all right here in our regiment!"

Chu Tian raised his eyebrows, "Okay, what's the price?"

When Li Gang heard about the price, he was a little confused. They had never sold bananas on the black market and really didn't know how to offer this price.

Looking at Li Gang's tangled and melancholy expression, Chu Tian curled his lips and said, "Brother Li Gang, the price my previous seller gave me for these bananas was two yuan per pound! If I were to sell them to someone else, I would have to pay at least three yuan and twenty-three yuan per pound."

"But we're so close, I won't take any more from you. How about adding 50 cents to a pound, or 2.5 yuan a pound? I'll just take a small cut, and you can take the lion's share."

Li Gang was shocked when he heard this, "Two dollars and fifty cents?"

Chu Tian looked at Li Gang hesitantly, with a hint of displeasure in his tone, "What? Do you think it's too expensive? Brother Li Gang, you really shouldn't think it's too expensive. Bananas of this quality can be sold on the black market for three and a half yuan per pound..."

Li Gang swallowed hard and explained hurriedly, "No, I'm not complaining about the high prices. I mean, you're selling it really cheap..."

"You don't know, our boss got some wilted oranges from somewhere these past few days, and they're selling for three and a half yuan per pound on the black market in Wushi! Even for these, people are scrambling to buy them!"

"And bananas of this quality, and they're so rare! If I take them to the black market in our regiment, I can sell them for at least four yuan a pound. If I take them to the black market in Wushi, I can sell them for at least four and a half yuan, or even five yuan a pound!"

Sun Weiguo stood by with his mouth wide open in surprise, wondering how this thing could be sold for so much? Wouldn't Brother Tian be losing out if he only charged him one day's salary? No, he would have to give Brother Tian more when he got back!

"ah?"

Chu Tian was slightly taken aback, wondering, is this person really the manager of the black market? Why is he just pouring out the selling price to him like pouring beans? Logically, shouldn't a normal person, when buying unsold goods, try to lower the price?

Li Gang gritted his teeth and said as if he had made up his mind, "Brother Chu, can you add a little more? The price you gave me, I usually sell it for double the price. I feel embarrassed to accept the price you gave me..."

In fact, if the seller was someone else, he would have lowered the price, but Chu Tian was different. After having contact with Chu Tian twice, he could tell that Chu Tian was very mysterious, and the power behind him must be very powerful. Otherwise, how could there be so many things that even their boss couldn't get?

Therefore, when he did business with Chu Tian, ​​he would rather earn less than leave a bad impression on Chu Tian!

The most important thing is that he has a feeling that if he makes good friends with Chu Tian, ​​he will definitely have smooth sailing and make a fortune in the future!

"No, this is the price!"

Chu Tian has always felt that biting off more than he can chew. He claims that he is not a greedy person and knows that as a human being, one should be content with what he has. When he wholesaled bananas in the 21st Century, he bought a lot, more than 13,000 kilograms, and only spent less than 20,000 yuan. In the end, the price per kilogram was less than 1.6 yuan.

Therefore, in this era, he sold it for two dollars and fifty cents per pound, which meant he had already earned ninety cents per pound, which was really a lot, and there was no need to raise the price further!

Of course, as for the price that third-hand dealer Li Gang can sell it for, that has nothing to do with him! If he can sell it at a high price, that is his own ability. He will admire and envy him, but he will not be jealous!
