"Captain Cheng, may I ask how many you have grown?"
Boss He ate four pieces before stopping, taking out a handkerchief, wiping his mouth, and then asked.
Cheng Wu was about to answer when Shanshui spoke first.
"Boss He, we don't really understand this. I'd like to ask where you plan to sell your products, and how much you plan to ship to each place?"
Shanshui said.
Boss He raised his eyebrows. Hey, Captain Cheng’s brother-in-law is a businessman?
"Yes, Boss He. We planted quite a lot! We just picked some and brought them home yesterday to eat. We didn't even have time to see how much we had when my second brother was so impatient that he sent someone to the capital to invite Boss He."
Cheng Yue walked out of the kitchen, sat down at the stone table, and said with a smile.
"Hehe, about this, Miss Cheng, Brother Mo, I won't hide it from you. Captain Cheng is my savior, and we are all family, so there is nothing to hide. Let me put it this way, when I was young, I went out on my own, and now that I am older, I live in Yunzhou for a long time, but the people under me basically go to various prefectures. For example, there are six people going to Jiangnan. As for how much to transport to each place, it depends on how much goods there are, so I can decide the specific distribution."
Boss He said with a smile.
"Does Mr. He have his own cargo ship?"
Shanshui asked.
"Look at what you said, how could there be nothing? Although I'm mainly responsible for the caravan, I do have two cargo ships. They were recently docked at the state capital's dock!"
Boss He replied.
"If you really want a number, then let's ship a thousand to each prefecture! I have thirteen lines under me, and if there aren't enough melons, I'll just ship them to the more prosperous prefectures. The main thing is, these melons are so delicious! They're even better than the ones I had in Taizhou last year, and they're bigger too. The skin is thin and the meat is rich, wow..."
Seeing that the three of them were silent, Boss He smiled and continued.
"Thirteen lines, one thousand. Yeah, I understand. So what price is Mr. He going to offer?"
Shanshui nodded and asked again.
"Hey, Brother Mo, we're all family. As for the price, I won't let you get away with it. I won't let you bid, since you've never sold anything before. If every watermelon is this big, I'll give you 500 coins each, no more."
"Captain Cheng, Brother Mo, Miss Cheng, even though I might sell it for half the price, think about it: the people under my command need to eat, the horses need to graze, the carriages need repairs, the boats need maintenance—all of that costs money! Honestly, you won't make much. Of course, you can definitely make some money. We're all businessmen, after all. What's the point of doing business if you can't make money!"
Boss He was worried that Cheng Yue and the others would think the price he offered was too low, so he went on and on about how doing business was not easy and it was not easy for him either.
At the end he felt thirsty, so he ate another piece of watermelon, and then smacked his lips, saying that the watermelon was sweet, thirst-quenching, and delicious, and it would definitely sell well!
Cheng Yue couldn't help but laugh. Actually, fat people are quite cute!
"Boss He, don't worry! We still have a thousand watermelons in each state along your route. The price is set. After we eat, let my second brother and Shanshui take you to the watermelon field so you can have a better idea. Then we'll sign the sales contract and have Master Ji notarize it for us."
Cheng Yue smiled.
