After leaving their mother-in-law's house, the two brothers dragged their cart to the vegetable market.
"Chengyuan, Brother Chao needs a hundred cans of fish tomorrow, and Boss Su needs ten cans. I wonder if Boss Liu has that many?"
Yu Ping'an was worried that there weren't enough big-headed fish.
Yu Pingan said with a smile, "Brother, don't worry about that. If Boss Liu isn't enough, isn't there Boss Zhang right here?"
"But didn't we have some unpleasantness with Boss Zhang last time?"
Would he be willing to sell us the fish?
Yu Pingan recalled that he had a slightly unpleasant experience with Boss Zhang last time.
"Brother, you don't need to worry about that. Boss Zhang isn't stupid. Why would he turn down a business opportunity, especially one that's quite large?"
If he really doesn't want to, then he's truly out of his mind and is destined to never make money.
Yu Chengyuan was certain that Boss Zhang would sell the fish to him.
"Chengyuan, have you forgotten? Last time he said that Boss Liu was stupid for selling us fish at such a low price."
He's already insulted them, so why would he sell us the fish for four cents a pound?
If I agree to his request, wouldn't I be slapping myself in the face and losing all face?
Aren't you afraid that Boss Liu's wife will make fun of him?
Yu Pingan remembered that Boss Liu's wife was very sharp-tongued.
"Brother, you're wrong. If you can make money, why bother with saving face?"
Moreover, this is a big order from us, so he won't feel embarrassed at all; in fact, he'll be very happy.
Besides, frankly speaking, his relationship with Mr. Liu and his wife is just business competition; there's no deep-seated hatred between them, and it's impossible for them to keep excluding each other indefinitely.
"What you said makes sense. After all, minor conflicts usually resolve themselves in a couple of days."
Nothing is more important than making money in business.
Both families make money, so wouldn't that be a win-win situation?
Chengyuan, am I right?
Yu Pingan instantly understood the meaning behind his brother's words.
"What my elder brother said is absolutely right, that's exactly what I meant."
A businessman has no permanent enemies, nor permanent friends.
After finishing his sentence, Yu Chengyuan continued to say to his elder brother, "Brother, you really don't need to worry about not having a source of goods. If all else fails, we can go to the state-run market and see if we can find anything there."
If that doesn't work, we can buy grass carp, but grass carp costs more, so we'll make a little less money.
Yu Chengyuan thought that if he used grass carp, the selling price would definitely be higher, otherwise he wouldn't make much profit.
Now that his younger brother had said so, Yu Pingan was completely relieved.
Upon arriving at the market, the Yu brothers went to Boss Liu's stall.
When the proprietress saw that it was the two young men from yesterday, she immediately greeted them with a smile, "Young men, you're here. Are you also buying the body of the bighead carp today?"
"Boss lady, you're right. Today, my brother and I are here again to buy the body of the bighead carp."
It seems there's quite a bit left today!
Yu Chengyuan glanced at the fish on the fish stall.
"Hmm, quite a few people bought fish heads today, but not many bought whole fish, and even fewer bought the fish body."
Your visit today has been a great help to me.
"How much does Xiaoyu want today?" the proprietress asked with a smile.
"I'll take all of these. Weigh them and process them for me now."
Yu Chengyuan said with a smile.
The proprietress pointed to the fish on the cutting board and asked incredulously, "Xiao Yu, you want all of these?"
These could weigh dozens of kilograms!
Yu Chengyuan nodded. "Yes, I'll take them all."
"Okay, you wait a moment, my husband and I will be done soon."
The proprietress beamed with joy, then instructed her husband to quickly begin preparing the fish.
There are no other customers right now.
Yu Chengyuan then reached an agreement with Boss Liu on a long-term cooperation, agreeing to purchase a certain number of bighead carp bodies from him every day.
Upon hearing that it was a long-term order, Mr. Liu beamed with joy and readily agreed, even offering a guarantee that he wouldn't arbitrarily raise the price.
Yu Chengyuan said with a smile, "Mr. Liu, it's a pleasure to cooperate with you. Let's make money together in the future!"
Next, Yu Chengyuan went to Boss Zhang's stall.
Mr. Zhang was initially a little uncomfortable, after all, the last incident had been somewhat unpleasant.
But Yu Chengyuan got straight to the point, saying, "Boss Zhang, you still have quite a bit left today, most of the morning has already passed."
Mr. Zhang gave an awkward laugh. "Yes, business wasn't very good today!"
He looked at Mr. and Mrs. Liu, who were busy working on the side, with a hint of envy.
They were lucky; they actually got a long-term, regular customer.
"Mr. Zhang, are you interested in cooperating with me? I'll take all your bighead fish bodies and come every day from now on."
However, the price was agreed upon, the same as Mr. Liu's, four cents per pound.
If you're willing, then it's settled. If not, then pretend I didn't say anything.
Yu Chengyuan finished speaking in one go, and the rest was up to Boss Zhang to decide.
Upon hearing that it was a big business opportunity, Mr. Zhang's eyes lit up, and he quickly nodded in agreement.
He's not stupid. Even though he earns a penny less than usual with such a large order volume, the sheer volume makes it all worthwhile.
Even with low profit margins and high sales volume, you can still make a considerable amount of money, and it's also convenient.
And so Yu Chengyuan bought Mr. Zhang's fish at the same price.
"Since there's no problem, Mr. Zhang, then you can weigh and process these fish!"
My brother and I are still waiting to go home!
"Okay, young man, just a moment, I'll start processing it now."
After weighing the items, Mr. Zhang quickly got to work.
Since Mr. Zhang is alone, he is naturally not as fast as Mr. Liu and his wife.
