Chapter 241: Big Profit
Capital city.
Near Dongfeng Market.
After Deng Shirong talked with Zhou Shengli, he temporarily rented a small warehouse of about 200 square meters about a kilometer away from Dongfeng Market.
In the afternoon, Deng Shirong came to Ruyi Fresh Fruit Shop again.
Zhou Shengli, who had been waiting impatiently, saw Deng Shirong and enthusiastically invited him to the warehouse at the back. He couldn't wait to say, "Boss Deng, I have prepared the money. When can I go to pick up the longan?"
As expected of a local businessman, he has a good network of connections. Deng Shirong secretly praised him and said, "It will probably take until midnight for the longan to be shipped to the capital. Tomorrow morning at seven o'clock, prepare the money and wait for me here. I will take you to pick up the longan."
Zhou Shengli asked, "Boss Deng, are the longans as fresh as the one you gave me this morning?"
Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's guaranteed to be as fresh as if it was just picked."
Zhou Shengli asked again: "Boss Deng, what is the exact weight of this longan, 63 tons and how much?"
Deng Shirong said, "There should be more than 800 kilograms of leftovers, and do you need bamboo baskets for longan? If you do, I will charge you 1,500 yuan for more than 1,200 bamboo baskets. If not, you will have to prepare something else to hold the longan, and you have to leave the bamboo baskets to me."
The huge sum of more than 250,000 yuan had already been paid, so Zhou Shengli didn't care about the small change of 1,500 yuan. He said cheerfully, "I want the bamboo basket."
Deng Shirong nodded and said, "When we do business, we value honesty and fairness. Although the longans have been weighed before being shipped here, they will definitely be weighed again before they are sold to you. You must bring the scale tomorrow."
Zhou Shengli said: "This is a small matter. I have a scale in my fresh fruit shop."
After finishing the business, Deng Shirong stood up, smiled and stretched out his hand, saying: "Boss Zhou, it's a pleasure to work with you!"
Zhou Shengli also stood up, stretched out his hand to shake his hand, and said with an excited smile: "Boss Deng, happy cooperation!"
…
7:30 in the evening.
At Bobai Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital, Ou Guofang successfully gave birth to a son, and both mother and child are safe.
Knowing that her daughter-in-law gave birth to a boy, Changdong's mother smiled so much that her eyes almost narrowed into slits.
Although this is the first child and it doesn’t matter whether it is a boy or a girl, it is definitely worth being happy if it is a boy.
Zhang Xiuping was also happy for the little sister and said to Changdong's mother, "Sister Yunfeng, congratulations on the birth of your grandson!"
Changdong's mother smiled from ear to ear and said happily, "Thank you, Sister Ping. Thanks to your care these days. We will go back tomorrow. If you can spare some time, go back to celebrate the baby's full moon."
Zhang Xiuping smiled and said, "I will definitely go back to attend the baby's full moon banquet."
…
The next day.
Capital city.
Deng Shirong got up very early today and arrived at Dongfeng Market just after six o'clock.
I first found a popular breakfast shop and had a very authentic Beijing breakfast, and then slowly walked to Ruyi Fresh Fruit Shop.
Although the two parties agreed to meet at seven in the morning, the anxious Zhou Shengli, Wang Dadan and Tian Chunzhi were already waiting here early.
In addition to the three of them, Zhou Shengli's three children were also there.
Seeing Deng Shirong coming over, Zhou Shengli greeted him with a smile on his face, "Boss Deng, good morning!"
Deng Shirong also smiled and greeted, "Boss Zhou, good morning!"
Zhou Shengli said, "Boss Deng, let me introduce them to you. This is Boss Wang, who is in the hardware business, and this is Boss Tian, who is in the clothing business. They are all my good friends, and these three are my children."
"Hello, Boss Deng!"
"Boss Wang, Boss Tian, hello!"
After the two sides greeted each other, Zhou Shengli asked again: "Boss Deng, have you had breakfast?"
Deng Shirong asked, "I have eaten. Have you eaten?"
Zhou Shengli smiled and said, "We have all eaten it too!"
Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Since we've already eaten, shall we go pick up the goods now?"
Zhou Shengli, Wang Dadan and Tian Chunzhi all nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.
Zhou Shengli asked, "Boss Deng, is the cargo far from here? If it is far, I will have someone drive over. If it is not far, we can ride bicycles over."
Deng Shirong said: "It's not far, just over a kilometer away, you can just ride a bicycle there."
"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Boss Deng, to lead the way on your bike!"
"Well, follow me!"
…
A few minutes later.
Deng Shirong then took Zhou Shengli and his group to the temporary warehouse he had rented yesterday.
After parking the bicycle and before taking out the key to open the door, Deng Shirong had an idea and moved all the longans in the system space into the warehouse. The originally empty warehouse was suddenly filled with longans.
Zhou Shengli and others watched Deng Shirong open the warehouse door with excitement. After seeing more than 1,200 baskets of longan in the warehouse, they were all shocked.
Although they all knew that there were more than 63 tons of longan here, the shock brought by the numbers was naturally not as great as the visual shock.
Deng Shirong extended his hand and said with a smile: "Boss Zhou, Boss Wang, Boss Tian, here are more than 63 tons of longan. Please come in and take a look and taste. I guarantee that the freshness will satisfy you."
Zhou Shengli and others couldn't even stand there anymore, they all walked in excitedly to look and taste.
Then, exclamations continued to ring out.
Although the people present rarely come into contact with longan, the freshness of fruits can be seen at a glance. After checking and tasting, Zhou Shengli and others were absolutely sure that the longan was indeed as fresh as if it had just been picked.
Although it was incredible and they didn't know how Deng Shirong did it, the facts were before them and they had to believe it.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Zhou Shengli checked more than a dozen baskets of longan and tasted them one by one before coming to Deng Shirong and praising him: "Boss Deng, I am really impressed by your transportation and preservation capabilities. Let's weigh them now without further delay."
Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Since you are satisfied, let's weigh it!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Shengli's children took down the scales they brought from their bicycles, Tian Chunzhi took out paper and pen, and Wang Dabing took out an abacus, and everyone divided the work and began to weigh longans one basket after another.
As for Deng Shirong, he was watching Tian Chunzhi keeping accounts.
This busy work lasted until almost noon, when all the longans were weighed. The data obtained was 126,832 kilograms, which was only 5 kilograms different from the data calculated by Baiping Farm. It was considered a very accurate data.
After the statistics were completed, Tian Chunzhi reported the total to Deng Shirong and asked, "Boss Deng, do you think this data is correct?"
Deng Shirong nodded and smiled, "You guys counted very carefully. Such a huge amount is only off by a few kilograms, which is very accurate."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Shengli untied a sack that he had brought with him, and poured out bundles of Great Unity from it, saying, "Boss Deng, since the data is fine, let's settle the bill!"
It's no wonder that Zhou Shengli was so anxious to pay the bill. After all, it's really not easy to keep a fruit like longan fresh. The sooner they can complete the transaction, the sooner they can sell the longan. Time is precious, so they naturally have to race against time.
It would be a good thing for Deng Shirong to receive the money earlier, so he naturally had no objection.
So, now it’s time to count the money.
126,832 jin of longan, at a price of 2 yuan per jin, is 253,664 yuan, plus the 1,500 yuan for the bamboo basket, the total is 255,164 yuan.
In this day and age, the largest denomination of RMB is only 10 yuan. More than 255,000 yuan in cash is equivalent to more than 2.55 million yuan in later generations. It is still quite shocking to see so much cash piled together.
Of course, everyone present had seen the world.
Zhou Shengli, Wang Dadan and Tian Chunzhi are all businessmen who handle a lot of cash.
Deng Shirong had previously borrowed 800,000 yuan from a credit union, so the cash he had was more than three times more than what he had here.
So, seeing this pile of cash, both sides behaved very calmly.
It took more than ten minutes to count the money. Deng Shirong was very happy after getting the money he deserved.
For this order, his purchase cost was 37,782.7 yuan, plus the round-trip travel expenses and expenses in Beijing, including the rent of this temporary warehouse, the maximum cost was 37,950 yuan. But now he has earned 255,164 yuan, making a full profit of 217,214 yuan.
The speed of making money is really faster than robbing a bank.
Originally, of the 800,000 yuan borrowed from the credit union, nearly 640,000 yuan was spent on buying a courtyard house in Beijing and building the Suifeng Hotel in the county town. The remaining cash plus the income from the tile factory and the orchard only left about 175,000 yuan in cash on hand.
Now, including the income of more than 217,000 yuan, the cash in his hands has soared to more than 392,000 yuan again.
After putting all the money into the sack, Deng Shirong handed the warehouse key to Zhou Shengli and said with a smile, "Boss Zhou, take this warehouse key. I'm renting it temporarily for a week. You can use it during this week. I'll go to your fresh fruit shop to get the key after a week."
"Thank you, Boss Deng. You are very thoughtful."
"You're welcome. I won't bother you anymore. I wish your longan will sell well so that we can have a chance to continue our cooperation next year."
Zhou Shengli, Wang Dabing and Tian Chunzhi couldn't help but feel moved when they heard this. They all understood the hidden meaning in Deng Shirong's words. If they could sell the longan successfully this year, they would have the opportunity to continue cooperating with Deng Shirong next year.
If their sales are not going well, not only will they lose money, but they will also lose the qualifications to continue cooperating with Deng Shirong.
To put it bluntly, the sale of longan this time is equivalent to a test given to them by Deng Shirong, and also an opportunity for them to demonstrate their strength.
Thinking of this, Zhou Shengli responded solemnly: "Please rest assured, Boss Deng, the three of us will do our best to sell this batch of longans smoothly. If there is such a good thing next year, please consider us, Boss Deng."
Wang Dabing and Tian Chunzhi also said some confident words.
They must seize this unique business, an opportunity to make a lot of money. If they miss it, they will regret it for the rest of their lives.
