The couple searched for a long time but couldn't find the warehouse, only an empty house.
There was no furniture inside, so it was empty and perfect for storing oranges.
After telling the landlord that they would rent the house for two days and paying the deposit, the two hurried to the fruit market.
They didn't know if they could digest the 50,000 kilograms of oranges here. If they were full, they would have to go to another city. They would have to go to Aben's place. If they ran into the group chasing them again, it would not be so easy to escape with Xia Youyou.
The intercom was not used, and the few people met at the entrance of the fruit market.
After explaining the situation, Cao An handed the items in his warehouse to Qi Siling, and then led Xia Youyou back to look for the vendors. Qi Siling and Xiao Hai went to the houses to clean up and release the oranges.
Xia Youyou stayed to lead the way for Cao An, and wanted to buy some other fruits that the vendors didn't have, especially durian.
Now they all love it, even the two grandfathers in the old house like it, and they always send some to them every time they go back. Poor Cao An can't even eat it himself, and he has to worry about everyone else.
When the vendors heard that they wanted some common fruits such as durian and rambutan, they quickly got her three carts of fruits and said that they could give them oranges at a lower price, so they gave them these as gifts.
Wow, he got something for nothing!
"Okay!" Cao An made the decision and gave them nine yuan per pound in exchange for the three carts of fruit.
All three vehicles are three-wheeled motorcycles with a cargo box at the back, and a fully loaded vehicle can carry 1,000 kilograms.
Xia Youyou smiled sweetly, which attracted the vendors to add more fruits to the mountain and even stuffed a big durian into her empty hand.
Cao An was standing by, feeling both amused and helpless, and helped her get it to avoid being pricked by the thorns.
The two of them got in the car and went to the house they rented.
When they arrived, Qi Siling was already waiting outside. It had taken too long, and he was afraid something had happened, so he was about to go check it out.
Seeing three cars coming from a distance, he went to meet them with confidence and supported Xia Youyou who was about to jump out of the car. "Be careful! What took you so long?"
Xia Youyou pulled him to look at the back of the car mysteriously, "These are all sent by them. I wholesale the oranges to them for nine yuan."
Qi Siling didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and poked her forehead with his hand, "Little clever ghost!"
Cao An led the vendors to unload the fruit, and then took them inside to load the oranges and weigh them.
Seeing so many oranges in the room, several vendors were a little shocked. "Did you sneak them in from abroad? Why are there so many?"
They said nothing, just busy filling the sacks with oranges. They didn't know how to explain it. Could they say it wasn't from abroad? Or just from a small inland county? Who would believe it?
The oranges were too big for the cart, and the maximum it could carry was 1,000 kilograms. So they hauled them back and forth several times, each taking 5,000 kilograms.
Xiao Hai looked at the payment in his hand and sighed again that Hong Kong people are really rich! Inland still uses notes and banknotes, but here they just use hundred-yuan bills. They don't even blink when they take out hundreds of thousands of yuan! They have been busy for half a year, and Anhai Company only has 50,000 yuan in funds!
This foreign exchange can be doubled once it arrives in China!
It’s easily approaching a million!
"How are we going to explain this money when we go back?" Although I was happy, I couldn't help but worry about how to explain how to exchange foreign currency for Great Unity after I go back.
I can exchange it with Zhong Sheng, but he doesn’t have that many!
Just when a few people were about to move to another place, the fruit market vendors came with their people again.
Oranges are in great demand here because they are rich in vitamin C, which is like a god abroad.
The three vendors who drove the stalls asked for 5,000 kilograms each, because oranges are durable and can be sold slowly.
Other small vendors were also envious, but they didn't have the financial resources to buy so much at once, so they could only follow suit and buy 1,000 kilograms. However, the price remained the same, at 10 yuan per kilogram. Even so, they still made a profit, and selling it for 15 yuan was not a problem.
At the end of the day, 40,000 kilograms were sold directly in this small fruit market. Excluding the few hundred kilograms they had just sold, there were still several thousand kilograms left.
They thought no one else would come, and when the four of them were about to pack up and go back to the guesthouse, the boss who stuffed the durian into Xia Youyou's mouth came to them alone.
"Boss, don't go." The boss spoke in unstandard Mandarin, stopping several people from closing the door.
Cao An's locked hand paused, he glanced at Xiao Hai and Qi Siling, and opened the door himself and went in. When they came out, they put the oranges into the space. This person might come back to buy more, so he had to go in and put them out again.
Sure enough, Xiao Hai chatted with him for a while before he found out why he came.
"Boss, I have a stall here, but there's another stall over there. Can you wait for me? I'll come back tomorrow to buy another 10,000 kilograms."
Xiao Hai was a little embarrassed, "There shouldn't be 10,000 pounds."
The boss felt a little regretful, "How many are left? I want them all!"
Cao An came out at this time, opened the door and let him in, "Look, this is all we have, do you want them all?" He deliberately opened another empty room, revealing some jackfruits that had just been put out.
He had looked around and saw that no one was selling jackfruits here, so he could see if he wanted any.
The boss looked at the less than 10,000 kilograms of oranges and felt a little uncomfortable. Who wouldn't want this sure-win business? A casual glance allowed him to see the large man on the other side. "Hey, boss, is this a jackfruit?"
Cao An walked over and picked up a jackfruit they had opened but not yet finished eating. "They call it jackfruit here? Try it?"
"It looks like it, but why is it red meat?" They all have yellow flesh here, and I've never seen red flesh before. He took it, put it in his mouth and tasted it, "Hey, this one is sweeter than a jackfruit!"
He swallowed the one in his mouth and asked Cao An for another one, "Let me try again." He looked at the jackfruits all over the floor of the room and fell into deep thought.
Cao An and the others remained silent, waiting for him to speak first.
Since he is standing here hesitating, he must be an important customer.
And the boss was indeed wondering, could he swallow so much red meat jackfruit?
"How much is your jackfruit?" The boss looked hopeful, but was afraid that the boy would ask for too much.
"Five yuan per pound." Cao An spoke without hesitation.
Xiao Hai was shocked behind him, and couldn't help but say that Cao An was ruthless. They picked them without spending a penny! The jackfruits weighed at least ten kilograms each, and those were the small ones. The big ones were nearly fifty kilograms!
Five yuan a pound, that small one is fifty yuan, and the big one must be over two hundred yuan! Cao An didn't know what he was thinking in his heart, but the boss went from being nervous at the beginning to feeling relieved.
"Fortunately, the asking price wasn't too high, so I was able to sell it."
All right, Xiao Hai was completely speechless! He couldn't believe it. They were still calculating and calculating how much grain they could sell in Beijing, but here they could buy fruit for just a few yuan a pound, and they still thought it was cheap!
Don’t think about it, don’t think about it!
