Chapter 3 Wholesale
One hundred thousand.
Mo Fei counted it three times in a row and found that there was indeed only this much money in the bank card.
The supplies that this amount of money can buy are too limited.
"..." Mo Fei put away her phone and missed her six million savings in that world.
After the original owner dropped out of college, he couldn't find a decent job with his high school diploma.
I have worked as a salesperson in a clothing store, a cashier, and a waiter in a restaurant. At the beginning, I was young and had no experience, and I met a harsh boss and lost a lot of money. But the child was crying with hunger, and the milk powder can was empty, so the original owner worked several jobs a day, working around the clock.
Fortunately, the original owner later met a kind sister who introduced her to a small company as a receptionist, so the days of running around came to an end. She worked from Monday to Friday, and was paid five insurances, and she could save 3,000 yuan after her salary. The most important thing was that it was close to home, so the original owner could go home at noon to cook for the children.
In addition, since the children started elementary school, the original owner has set up a night market stall except on Friday nights. The basic net income on weekends and holidays is around 300. It is less on weekday nights but still over 200.
By this calculation, the original owner's monthly income was about 10000 yuan. In fact, the annual income was about 110,000 to 120,000 yuan, but he couldn't save much.
Although primary school is part of the nine years of compulsory education, it costs a lot.
The class fees for two children for one semester + materials + milk + extracurricular reading + food + after-school tutoring + field trips and research, the total is about 5,000. Two semesters is 10,000.
In addition, the original owner heard that some children, in addition to tutoring classes in Chinese, math and English, also have to attend various interest and hobby extracurricular classes, focusing on the comprehensive development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor. After consulting the children, the original owner signed up Mo Jianian for Go and Mo Jiayue for painting, so that the children would not lose too badly at the starting line.
In addition, I have to pay a 4,000 yuan mortgage every month, 300 yuan for water, electricity, gas, 200 yuan for transportation, 600 yuan for food and fruit, 100 yuan for daily consumables (tissues, sanitary napkins, toothpaste, etc.), 200 yuan for social interactions, 100 yuan for phone and internet fees, 300 yuan for children's school supplies, snacks and toys, and 200 yuan for daily minor illnesses and disasters...
The original owner herself could not buy more than two sets of clothes in a year, but the two children would buy a new set of clothes every two months, and a pair of shoes every quarter. Summer clothes were okay, and clothes that cost thirty or forty yuan were fine, and there was not much difference. Winter clothes had to be thick, warm, good quality, and good-looking, and each piece would cost four or five hundred yuan.
Children now have a strong desire for knowledge and love to read books. Buying books and magazines is a lot of money. But children are sensible. When they want to read, they go to the bookstore and sit there for a whole day. After reading, they pat their butts and leave without leaving a trace.
Mo Fei sighed deeply, and suddenly thought of the saying: "Behind every decent-looking parent, there is a hidden shabby side."
The only thing to be thankful for is that the down payment for the original owner's house was actually paid by the original owner's mother. The mother was really worried about her child, and although she severed the mother-daughter relationship, she still made plans for the original owner.
The original owner had paid off the mortgage for this 40-square-meter house last month. This meant that the house completely belonged to Mo Fei. She could sell the house and then have a large amount of liquid funds.
Mo Fei thought about it and decided to find a real estate agent to find out the market price of this house. According to the current situation, the more liquid funds you have, the more reliable it is. When you really enter a period of rapid biological evolution, the supply of goods may be a big problem. At that time, you won't be able to buy goods even if you have money.
Mo Fei is a doer, he does whatever he thinks of immediately.
She found a relatively quiet place in the vegetable market and then called a larger agency nearby.
She briefly described the location, area, decoration and ownership of her house.
The agent on the other end of the phone was very enthusiastic and guaranteed that based on the current market value, this house could be sold for a conservative estimate of just over 1.2 million.
Mo Fei was very surprised, because when the original owner's mother bought this house, the total price of the house was only more than 700,000 yuan. He didn't expect that it would increase so much in just eight years. It turned out that houses are the best investment products no matter which world they are in.
She calmly said "hmm" and emphasized, "I'm in a hurry to use the money. The buyer of this house must pay the full amount. The price can be reduced a little. In addition, I also want to rent a larger house, preferably with a basement and good security conditions, and also rent a storefront in a more remote location."
Two deals! The agent was even happier, and his attitude immediately improved several times. He agreed repeatedly, saying that he had several houses on hand, and if Mo Fei was convenient, the two could meet today, put Mo Fei's house online first, and then take Mo Fei to look for rental houses in the afternoon.
After the two agreed to meet at around 2 pm, Mo Fei hung up the phone.
After solving the problem of money source, Mo Fei went to the vegetable market with peace of mind.
The vegetable market is very large. Outside are some vegetable farmers selling individual products, while wholesalers are at the innermost part.
Mo Fei rushed straight to the innermost part, and the first thing he saw was several large rice, grain and oil wholesale stores.
These shops all have the same boss, who is wearing the most plain white vest, holding a palm-leaf fan in his hand, and leaning on a recliner listening to the morning news.
"A 7.1 magnitude earthquake occurred in Xinshi, the largest earthquake in the city in the past ten years. A total of 89 aftershocks occurred in 6 hours. The number of casualties is still being counted..."
The boss heard someone coming and opened his eyes: "Buying something?"
Mo Fei first glanced at the boss's phone playing the news, then nodded. She walked into the store and looked at the rice, flour, grain and oil carefully.
"I'm doing wholesale, the minimum order is ten pieces, you can just buy the bulk outside." The boss said kindly.
"I just want to wholesale." Mo Fei said.
"Okay, okay, okay. I have a price list here. They are all the cheapest wholesale prices. Madam, please take a look at which one you want and fill in the amount next to it." The boss took out a notebook from the glass cabinet, tore off a piece of paper and handed it to Mo Fei along with a pen.
Mo Fei read the densely packed list at a glance and filled it out very quickly.
The boss took the order and his little eyes widened.
"200 bags of Zhaofeng flour, 200 bags of black market Wuchang rice, 100 barrels of Golden Dragon Fish Oil, 100 packs of Longxu Noodles, 200 boxes of Master Xiong instant noodles, 200 boxes of delicious self-heating hot pot, 100 boxes of self-heating rice..."
After the boss finished reading, he looked at the person in front of him in surprise: "Boss lady, do you run a supermarket?"
It's not like there weren't such big customers before. But those customers looked to be in their 40s or 50s, and they were basically responsible for purchasing for the supermarket. It's really rare to see such a young customer buying so much, and buying the best brands.
"Can I pay the deposit first?" Mo Fei asked.
She had to use the 100,000 yuan for other things. If she had to pay for the goods ordered from the grain and oil store in one go, she would have had a very tight life.
The boss nodded: "Okay. I'll draw up an order contract based on this list, and you just need to pay a 20% deposit."
Mo Fei ordered goods worth about 70,000 yuan from this boss. After paying a deposit of 14,000 yuan, she planned to leave.
The boss called her and said, "Madam, you haven't filled in the delivery address yet!"
"Oh. I'll text you the delivery address this afternoon." Mo Fei said with a smile. When she rented a storefront this afternoon, she would ask the store to deliver the goods first, and then she would put them in her portable space. Anyway, it was a new place, and no one would know her, so no one would ask her questions. Even if someone saw a lot of supplies being moved in, and had bad intentions, they would end up with nothing after entering.
After passing the grain, oil and rice shop, Mo Fei came to the vegetable area.
"100 kilograms of potatoes, 100 kilograms of tomatoes, 100 kilograms of carrots, 100 kilograms of lotus roots, 100 kilograms of cabbage, 100 kilograms of corn, 100 kilograms of onions... Forget it, it's too much trouble to list them one by one. Boss, I want 100 kilograms of all these on your list. I'll give you the delivery address this afternoon."
The vegetables were very cheap, so Mo Fei simply paid the full amount.
The vegetable wholesaler was so happy when he saw the money Mo Fei paid: "No problem, I will send you the freshest goods tomorrow morning."
"Yeah." Mo Fei nodded. She was about to go to the meat section, but stopped. There was a small TV in the vegetable shop, which was playing the city's news: "Recently, many mysterious ground cracks have appeared on the streets of the city. The relevant departments are investigating the cause. Please pay attention to your feet when you go out, so as not to..."
Mysterious ground cracks? Mo Fei looked at the long ground cracks on the TV screen, whose depths could not be seen. She turned her head and wondered if this was also a warning signal.
The vegetable owner thought she was looking at the seed store next door and immediately said enthusiastically: "That's my store too."
Mo Fei came back to her senses and really looked at the seeds. In fact, she was a little hesitant because she had no planting experience. Moreover, if a natural disaster really came, she didn't know whether these vegetable and fruit seeds that needed careful care could still grow.
But the vegetable-growing gene is engraved in the DNA of every Chinese, so Mo Fei finally decided to buy some.
After all, food will eventually run out, but if we can grow our own food, we will be self-sufficient and the supply will be endless.
Seeing that Mo Fei wanted to buy so many seeds again, the boss waved his hand and gave Mo Fei a 30% discount. At that time, these cabbage, cucumber, pepper, loofah and other seeds will be delivered to the place designated by Mo Fei together with the vegetables.
The meat section mainly sells pork, beef, mutton, chicken, duck, goose, eggs and aquatic products. In addition, there are also less common items such as rabbit meat and donkey meat.
Meat is always expensive, and Mo Fei couldn't help but feel a little pain in his heart when he placed the order.
In addition to the cut and classified beef shanks, tripe, ribs, pork belly, pig's trotters, lamb legs, etc., Mo Fei also ordered 100 chickens and ducks, 100 boxes of eggs, and half a cow and half a pig that had just been slaughtered. She also bought a lot of the children's favorite cured meats, clams, oysters, and squids.
I paid 50,000 yuan as a deposit and agreed to deliver the goods within three days.
After leaving the market, Mo Fei smelled like meat, but she was very happy.
After carefully putting away several order contracts, Mo Fei took out the paper and pen that her boss had just given her and sat on the side of the road to make a list.
About 300,000 yuan was spent on rice, flour, grain, oil, vegetables, fruits, seeds, meat, eggs and milk.
The total deposit was 60,000 yuan, and she now has 40,000 yuan left in her bank card.
This money is really not worth spending. Mo Fei sighed.
Mo Fei picked up a pen and wrote 40,000 on the paper, then started a new line and listed the other items he wanted to purchase.
Other food: mineral water, compressed biscuits, vacuum canned meat and fruit, chocolate, various instant noodles, etc. I would go to the supermarket and see what was available before buying.

Mo Fei was writing enthusiastically when a message suddenly popped up on WeChat.
She clicked on the dialog box with the note "Mom" and her mood suddenly became complicated.
The original owner's father was an extremely serious man. After the original owner got pregnant before marriage and insisted on giving birth to the child, the original owner's father immediately ordered everyone in the family to block any contact information of the original owner, not to contact the original owner, and not to give the original owner a penny.
The original owner's mother, Song Yi, even applied for a WeChat account for her daughter. She only dared to contact her daughter once every ten days or half a month.
"Daughter, I was cleaning the house today and saw a little bear."
The accompanying picture shows a brown bear doll that has been washed clean and hung on the balcony with two clips to dry in the sun. It looks a bit like the one the original owner bought for her daughter Mo Jiayue.
As far as he could remember, Mo Fei had never felt the love from his parents.
Her childhood was spent under the discipline of the orphanage teachers and fighting and quarreling with other children in the orphanage.
According to the original owner's memory, this little bear was a birthday present given to her by her parents when she was 10 years old.
Pat the little bear on the head and it will sing, and the original owner liked it very much. But later, when he grew up, he didn't know where to put the little bear.
The original owner thought that after she severed ties with her family, all her things would have been destroyed by her parents. Unexpectedly, she still saw this little bear.
Mo Fei touched his face, where a tear had fallen from his left eye. His nose felt sour for no apparent reason. Mo Fei was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that perhaps the original owner's emotions were still lingering in this body.
Mo Fei imitated the original owner's tone and typed a reply: "Mom, put this bear away. Don't let my dad see it. Otherwise, he will be angry again."
After sending the message, there has been no reply from the other side.
Mo Fei thought for a moment and sent another message: "Mom, things don't seem to be very peaceful recently. Remember to go to the supermarket to buy more food and drinks, and go to the pharmacy to buy some common medicines. If I have time, I will visit you."
This time the reply came quickly: "When?"
Mo Fei was stunned for a moment. Although her mother would send messages to her, the two had only met once, when Jia Nian and Jia Yue were just born. Eight years had passed.
Mom misses her very much, Mo Fei thought.
In fact, in the original owner's heart, she always felt that she owed her parents.
But the argument was really ugly back then, and both sides made harsh remarks.
They are both unwilling to give in, so once the relationship becomes strained, there is no room for easing.
Now that the original owner has left this world, if there is a chance to repair the relationship with the original owner's parents, Mo Fei would be happy to help.
Mo Fei thought for a moment and replied, "Next Monday."
It showed that the other party was typing, but Mo Fei waited and waited, but no message came.
She put away her phone in confusion and continued to look at the shopping list in her hand.
