Chapter 50: Money is hard to earn, shit is hard to eat
"How much are you selling these crabs for?" He threw the crabs back into the basket and clapped his hands.
"Twelve dollars each." Jian Qingyi said the price he had figured out.
"Twelve dollars each, your price is too high." Director Xu frowned.
He thought he could get it for seven or eight dollars.
"I'm telling you, even if you ran around Jing City ten times, you wouldn't be able to sell it for that much."
"But you can't find crabs as fresh as mine in the whole of Beijing." Jian Qingyi said confidently.
This crab she just caught from the sea.
"And please weigh the size of my crab." She picked up one and handed it to Director Xu.
"Each one is a female crab weighing over 500 grams."
Female crabs mature 20 days to one month earlier than male crabs. The taste of female crabs in September can be said to have reached the peak of their life.
"You can also cut one open to see the crab roe inside, and then compare it with those female crabs weighing two or three taels to see which one offers better value for money."
Director Xu didn't say anything, but turned and winked at the staff.
The staff member nodded slightly and turned to leave.
After a while, the staff came in carrying two half-dead crabs.
As soon as the crabs are placed in the basin, their differences are immediately apparent.
Jian Qingyi's big crab was waving its big claws and rushing around in the basin, while the crabs in their hotel kitchen did not move at all, and remained in the state they were thrown into.
Director Xu frowned and looked at the two little crabs, with a hint of disgust in his eyes.
It is true that there is no harm without comparison.
The staff then opened the shells of large and small crabs and showed them to Director Xu.
After just one glance, Director Xu waved to the staff member, indicating him to take it out.
"Your crabs are good, but the price is too high." Director Xu looked at Jian Qingyi again.
"Director Xu, you get what you pay for. You have seen the quality of the crabs. They are not cheap goods that will fool people. Besides, people who come here to consume are definitely not short of a few small expenses. So, if you order more, I will charge you eleven yuan each." Jian Qingyi smiled.
"If we talk about the sales volume of crabs, we in Yunlai are second. No one in Beijing dares to claim to be first, but the price..." Director Xu tapped the table with his fingers.
The meaning is obvious, the price needs to be lowered further.
"Then I'll give you another fifty cents discount, ten yuan and fifty cents." Jian Qingyi hesitated for a long time before speaking.
"Ten yuan." Director Xu gritted his teeth as he thought of the impending Mid-Autumn Festival.
"If it's ten dollars, I won't make any money." Jian Qingyi frowned.
"Small profits but quick turnover. Ten yuan for a crab is pretty good. If you throw it into the vegetable market, you can buy a grass carp half a person's height." Director Xu was so anxious that he was about to get angry, but he didn't show it on his face.
"Okay! Let's sell at a low profit but high volume." Jian Qingyi had a painful look on her face, but she was actually very happy in her heart.
She sells them for seven yuan each in South City, and if they die, the money will be hers.
Fifty were sold in a week, five died, and twenty were given away.
This is a business with no capital investment. If you spend money to buy and sell it, you will probably lose everything.
"That's right, there is no end to making money." Director Xu breathed a sigh of relief.
Let’s get back to the point. “Do you have any goods today?”
"Yes, how much do you want?" Jian Qingyi nodded.
There are at least thousands of crabs fluttering around on her beach!
"Then send me 800 of them later." Director Xu lowered his head and thought for a while.
"Eight hundred?" Jian Qingyi was so surprised that she even forgot to speak in a low voice.
Eight hundred...
Does he eat crabs for meals?
Director Xu raised his eyes and looked at Jian Qingyi, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
That voice...
Realizing her own misstep, Jian Qingyi cleared her throat awkwardly and said in a low voice, "Can you use that much?"
That thing won't last long in a pot.
Ten yuan each, and if they die, they can only be used as fertilizer.
"I'm going to take some as a Mid-Autumn Festival gift. You can send me 800 today and we'll talk about tomorrow." The price has been agreed upon, and Director Xu no longer hides it.
"You got eight hundred today?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Jian Qingyi nodded hurriedly.
Even if he wanted eight thousand, she would find a way to get them for him.
"Quality..." Director Xu said seriously.
"Don't worry! Don't worry! I guarantee it will be exactly the same as the ones in this basket." Jian Qingyi said hurriedly.
"Then follow Xiao Liu to settle the bill for these crabs in the basket!" Director Xu waved his hand.
"Hey! Thank you, Director Xu."
Jian Qingyi picked up the bamboo basket and poured a dozen crabs into the basin where crabs were previously placed.
"Director Xu took these back home to let his children try them."
"You won't lose money, will you?" Director Xu joked with a smile.
"Why lose money? Just like Director Xu said, there is no end to making money." Jian Qingyi said with a smile.
"You really know how to do business!" Director Xu stared at her and smiled.
"I have to rely on Director Xu to take care of my family's business in the future." Jian Qingyi smiled apologetically.
After running around for so many days, she finally understood what it meant to...
Money is hard to earn, but shit is hard to eat.
After leaving the office, Jian Qingyi picked out a few big crabs from the basket and gave them to Xiao Liu.
It would be better for the county magistrate to take charge now, and not a single thing should be spared.
After getting the benefit, Xiao Liu's attitude changed 180 degrees in an instant.
Not only did he help her count the crabs, he also spoke a lot of good things about her in front of the finance department.
Finance is even more important.
A few lively crabs were also contributed.
at last……
Half of the basket of crabs were given away and the other half were sold.
But when he thought of the eight hundred crabs that would come later, Jian Qingyi became full of energy.
When Jian Qingyi came out of the Yunlai Hotel, the sun was right overhead. Afraid of being followed, she walked around the streets and alleys.
After making sure no one was following him, he turned into a small noodle shop that looked relatively clean.
The next second, a brand new jeep came out from the corner of the street and passed by the noodle shop.
Zhou Chenfeng, who was in the driver's seat, patted Lu Yujing's shoulder in a very good mood and said, "Brother, it's been so long, do you still care?"
When Mr. He got divorced, he didn't lose his appetite and was in such a state of despair as he was.
"No one will think you are dumb if you don't speak." Lu Yujing turned his head and looked out the window.
"If you really can't let go, then go to Nancheng again and tell her face to face that you like her and want to marry her. Ask her to consider you." Zhou Chenfeng still didn't believe it.
With Lu Yujing's looks, family background, and status, anyone with common sense would know what to choose.
This is also a stubborn idea.
He had already said that he would help him remove the obstacles, give the guy some money, or arrange a job for him or something. He didn't believe that the guy wouldn't be tempted.
Even if the girl found out later, Lu Yujing could just push the blame onto Zhou Chenfeng and insist he had no knowledge of the matter. Would the girl really divorce him?!
