Chapter 278: Withdraw in Time to Protect Yourself
However, Yu Shui didn't get Shen Yanming's point. He smiled and patted his mouth, saying, "I'm just a person who doesn't know how to control my words. I didn't mean anything else. I was just joking. Sorry, sorry."
Shen Yanming shook his head and said, "Have you decided how many pounds you want to exchange?"
Yu Shui took out a bag of cornmeal from the cupboard and handed it to Shen Yanming, "About three pounds, maybe a little more or less, there's no scale at home."
"It's okay, I have it here."
Shen Yanming opened the storage box, took out the electronic scale, turned it on, and put the cornmeal that Yu Shui had given on it. It was a little over two kilograms and eight ounces. "Okay, I'll calculate three kilograms for you."
Then he weighed a pound of dried fruits for Yu Shui and donated a plastic bag for free.
Ouch, it’s so pitiful. His plastic bags are one less each time they are used.
Next came Cui Xian, Wei Qin, Li Yinhe and others. Shen Yanming gave them some preferential treatment, which made everyone very happy.
After hearing that Shen Yanming was distributing dried fruits, Zhu Shiliang also came over with a bag of food, "Xiao Shen, I don't know how heavy it is, you can take a look."
"Five pounds and six ounces. I'll count six pounds for you, and the extra is a gift from me, your uncle, to Ranran." Shen Yanming weighed two pounds of dried fruit and handed them to Zhu Shiliang.
"Okay, I won't be polite with you." Zhu Shiliang took the plastic bag happily, said hello to everyone and went back to the office.
After Zhu Shiliang left, Wei Qin asked Shen Yanming in a low voice: "Xiao Shen, can you take care of the capital by doing this?"
Chen Yanming smiled and nodded, "Sister Qin, I will give a little discount to the people in our unit. Those who want dried fruits outside will not give a cent, so we won't lose money in the end."
"It's fine as long as I don't lose money. Otherwise, I won't feel comfortable taking advantage of you."
Although they spoke in low voices, they did not deliberately avoid others. The colleagues who were under heavy burdens and who were reminded by Zhu Shiliang yesterday had been paying attention to Shen Yanming, so they took his words to heart.
Then a few people exchanged glances and left the office to discuss whether to move things.
Ten minutes later, they sent a representative to find Shen Yanming.
"Xiao Shen, we discussed it and felt that what Director Zhu said made sense, but we don't have the source of goods, so we wanted to ask you, can we get the goods from you and sell them?" Ke Wenpei asked a little awkwardly.
"You mean these dried fruits?"
"Yes, we don't have any other channels, so we can only think of a way from you. You don't have to worry about us stealing your business. We can be the third-level agent."
Chen Yanming chuckled, "That's not what I meant. I can give you some to test the waters first. If you think it's suitable, I'll give you my friend's contact information. You can contact him for purchases in the future. I won't get involved in these matters."
"You want to give up this line? This seems to be quite profitable. When I went home and told my wife yesterday, she said that several of her colleagues have been complaining about how hard it is to buy dried fruits this year. If we do a good job, we should be able to stockpile a lot of food!"
Ke Wenpei was a little bit unconvinced that Shen Yanming would give up this great business opportunity.
Shen Yanming shook his head and said, "I'm not doing this to stockpile food. It's just me and Qiao An, how much can we eat? I'm doing this to pay off the debts.
After this batch of dried fruits is sold, I will not be involved in this business anymore. Qiao An's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and I don't have the energy to do this.
If you want to do a side job, feel free to do it. As long as your company has no objection, I personally support it."
"Xiao Shen, thank you. If you succeed, the pressure in our lives will be much less.
You don't know how desperate we were when our boss said we'd cut our salaries in half yesterday. We already had a lot of expenses, and...
Fortunately, our leaders and you have pointed us in this direction. No matter what the final result is, we are grateful for your kindness. "
Shen Yanming smiled and patted the other person's shoulder, saying, "Come on, I believe you can do it!"
Shen Yanming didn't mind at all that the other party had taken away his business. In fact, he was a little bit looking forward to it.
Why? Because he is afraid that one day in the future others will be jealous of him.
It is better to make it known early that I will not get involved after this deal is done. Anyone of you who wants to earn this money or this salary can go by yourself. I will give you all the methods and means. If I don't get involved, I will have nothing to do in the future.
To put it bluntly, it means to withdraw in time and protect yourself.
Chen Yanming actually wanted to remind them that they should withdraw as soon as they made a little profit, but they haven't even started trading yet, and you're saying these discouraging words, which is bound to make people feel unhappy.
If you can’t earn money and food in the future, people will think you’ve cursed me.
If you can earn money and food in the future, people may think that you were just pretending to be generous. You said nice things but in fact you were jealous of others doing well.
Moreover, if the other party really has a large amount of income, and you say these things, do you believe that the other party will regard you as a coward who is ruining his financial resources?
So, don't get involved. No matter how they become in the future, that's their business and has nothing to do with you.
Moreover, bad things may not necessarily happen in the future. All of this is just the unfounded worries of these two cowards.
It was soon time to get off work, and both Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan felt that it seemed to get dark earlier today.
The two drove slowly all the way, and when they returned to Qingyu Community, Shen Yanming parked the car aside and went to the security room with Bi Qiaoan to find Chen Shunwei.
"Mr. Shen, you are finally back!" Chen Shunwei couldn't stop smiling when he saw Shen Yanming.
"What's the matter? Why are you so happy?"
"Of course it's a happy event. The two sacks of dried fruits you gave us today have been sold out by our brothers!" Chen Shunwei said excitedly.
"Sold out so quickly?" Shen Yanming was a little surprised.
"Yes, that fast!
This morning, I borrowed a scale from the aunt who used to sell vegetables. After delivering the dried fruits to the owners in the community, my brothers and I took the remaining dried fruits to sell on the street.
You don’t know, we didn’t have to do anything, we just put the sacks at the entrance of the community and people came up to ask about the price.
We said that we would exchange five kilograms of grain for one kilogram of dried fruit. Most people thought it was too expensive, waved their hands and ran away. But some people didn't say that, and went straight home to get the grain and exchange it with us.
This afternoon, the brothers earned a lot of food!"
Chen Shunwei pointed at the cloth bag at the door and said, "Here, these are yours. This bag is what the brothers earned this afternoon. Each of you can get at least ten pounds."
Chen Yanming nodded, "It seems that you have done a good job. In this case, I will go back and count how much goods are left. Apart from the ones I want to give away, you can move the rest here. You can sell as many as you can. If you can't sell them, just bring them back to me."
"If we can sell it, we can sell it. We have only visited one or two communities today. What we are worried about now is where to get more goods after we sell all your goods."
