Chapter 197 New Business
Yu Duoduo used a gas welding torch to burn every piece of gold jewelry in front of him. When doing business, accounts have to be settled in person to avoid misunderstandings.
Sure enough, there was a ring in the bag of gold jewelry. It turned black when burned by the fire and gave off a foul smell. It must be made of alloy.
Yu Duoduo placed the burnt ring in front of Qingzi and said, "Forget about this one. I'll still give you 10 packets of dried vegetables, but next time you must check the things in front of me to avoid being taken advantage of."
Haruko was very grateful and said she would pay more attention to it in the future, which further discouraged her from accepting other jewelry as exchange items.
Yu Duoduo handed Qingzi ten packages of dried vegetables and gave her an extra plastic bag containing a few dried apples and oranges.
This was during the flood, and a group of them were picking the fruits in the orchard and drying them.
"Try it and see how it tastes. If possible, you can also promote it!"
Yu Duoduo looked at Qingzi with a smile, and then added:
"If you want to sell in the market, that's fine, but don't let the administrator see you, otherwise your stall fee will go up, and you'll end up like us, squeezed out and forced to leave."
Qingzi nodded flattered, "Sister Xiaoyu, you are so kind!"
Then he looked around and quickly put away the dried vegetables and fruits.
Yu Duoduo was about to say something when Xie Yun suddenly said from behind: "People from the management office are here, we should leave."
Yu Duoduo hurriedly said goodbye to Haruko and whispered to her not to tell anyone that she had been there!
The two hid in the crowd and avoided the administrator's sight.
I watched a large group of people from the management office walk towards stall No. 8, pointing and talking, and asking about the conditions of several surrounding stalls. Everyone, like Haruko, just shook their heads.
Qingzi shook her head because Yu Duoduo had reminded her of this, while the others shook their heads because they truly didn't know. After all, in a trading market as large as the market, everyone is wrapped up so tightly that even their faces can't be seen, so who can pay special attention to anyone else?
I don’t know what the decision given by the management is, but the stall will eventually be recycled and sold, which is not surprising to Yu Duoduo at all.
I just don’t know if the management office will regret losing a major grain contributor like them.
Yu Duoduo walked out calmly, when suddenly someone patted him on the shoulder from behind. Turning around, he found it was Brother Wang.
"I said it looked like you, why did you come to the market and leave without chatting with me for a while!" Brother Wang said with a smile.
"Well, we saw that you were busy, Brother Wang, so we didn't go over to disturb you!" Yu Duoduo also laughed.
It wasn't that she was afraid that Brother Wang was busy, but last time they talked about going to sweep the building together and left the intercom, it had been many days and Brother Wang hadn't given her a single reply.
No reply means rejection. Yu Duoduo is naturally sensible. How can he have the nerve to chat with Brother Wang? Wouldn't that be like forcing the emperor to abdicate?
After all, Brother Wang had done her a favor in his previous life, and she didn't want to make things too difficult for him.
"Look at what you said. Are you angry because Brother Wang didn't contact you?" Brother Wang asked Yu Duoduo.
Yu Duoduo was about to explain, but Brother Wang continued:
"I'm also worried about this matter. Didn't you leave me a walkie-talkie last time so that I could contact you when I figured it out?
I tell you, I figured this out right away!
You say that the time is so difficult now, and if we don't quickly strengthen our own strength, then in the future, to put it bluntly, if the government becomes weak, the little relief food distributed by us will be gone in an instant.
I will be ready to answer you then.
As a result, just after you left that day, a group of people came to my stall to make trouble, saying that the saws I sold were not working well and that they sawed off their fingers when sawing trees, and asked me to take responsibility...
During the shoving and quarreling, I dropped the intercom you gave me and broke it. Now I can’t even reply to you. The key is, I have no way to find you at all!”
Yu Duoduo sighed after listening to this, it’s hard for Brother Wang too!
"Brother Wang, has the problem of the disturbance been solved? Wouldn't there be joint liability if there was a disturbance in the market?"
"Oh, there were a few people who came to extort food. One man had his thumb cut off and asked me to pay him 20 kilograms of rice.
If you can't poop, blame the weak gravity of the earth; if you can't sleep, blame the crooked pillow.
Think about it, this saw is a dangerous tool in itself. It was my own negligence and operating error that caused me to saw off my finger. How can I blame the seller?
Could it be that I ordered the saw to cut off his fingers? No matter how much I talk about it, he is unreasonable.
Otherwise, as a hardware store, I would have to contract the hospital to have enough support!
Out of humanitarianism, I said I was willing to give them 2 kilograms of food as a consolation, but they didn't care at all and said it couldn't be less than 20 kilograms.
After that, that group of people started blocking my stall, preventing me from doing business and affecting the surrounding stalls.
The administrator came half a day later and said that the other party had lost all his fingers. He asked me to have pity on him and said that I usually earned a lot of money, so what was wrong with giving him 10 kilograms of food as compensation? He had to see me take the food before the matter was over.
You said that if this kind of thing is set as a precedent, there will be a lot of similar things coming to me in the future. The little food I earn is not enough to pay for it!"
Brother Wang said with a depressed look on his face.
Yu Duoduo patted Brother Wang on the shoulder as a comfort. After all, she had encountered many such things before. In the end times when there is a lack of justice and fairness, some things can only be swallowed.
"Brother Wang, have you made up your mind about sweeping the building?"
"Oh, didn't I tell you, I made the decision a few days ago, but I couldn't contact you!
The market has been run by a group of people who cannot distinguish right from wrong, and it will be doomed sooner or later.
Why don't we go out together and try our luck? Maybe we can earn some life-saving food before this big backer falls!"
Brother Wang spoke with the determination of a hero cutting off his own arm, as if he were a hero who was forced to take up arms.
"Okay, since Brother Wang has made up his mind, then we are all in the same boat. Happy cooperation!"
Yu Duoduo took out another walkie-talkie from his bag and handed it to Brother Wang, "Please keep it safe this time, we won't have any more!"
"no problem!"
I agreed with Brother Wang on the time for tomorrow's building tour. We will gather at Lijing Haoyuan at 10 a.m. and start from several high-end residential areas nearby.
Brother Wang is a career-oriented person, and decided to do both door-to-door sales and market sales. He planned to sell his meat sauce at noon, and then rush to the market in the afternoon to sell his hardware, so he wouldn't be late for either!
Yu Duoduo naturally would not have any objection, after all, she has more connections than Brother Wang!
After returning to the bunker, Yu Duoduo and Xie Yun began to busy themselves in the kitchen.
With the experience of distributing meat sauce at the shelter last time, they decided to divide the meat sauce into two sizes.
One is made into a large portion, the size of a laundry soap, 30 grams of gold.
One is made into small portions, the size of White Rabbit milk candy, one gram of gold.
This is more suitable for promotion in residential buildings, where gold can be sold in small quantities, thus avoiding the trouble of placing orders on the spot due to insufficient weight of gold.
