Chapter 376 Take the honey to Yangcheng to sell
On the day of departure, Gao Mingcheng brought a dagger and a pistol as usual, so that if he encountered any trouble, he could use it for close combat or long-range attack.
The last time he went out, although he heard that the roads were not safe and he did encounter some trouble, it was not a big deal and he was calm.
However, this time, knowing that he was going to do a smuggling job, he inexplicably felt more psychological pressure, but he did not show it, and looked the same as before.
Early in the morning, Gao Mingcheng drove a tractor to the transportation company.
Fan Chengyao's goods have been shipped here in advance.
Gao Mingcheng walked around the car to check, and after finding nothing wrong, he prepared to get in.
Xiao Jinfeng stood beside the car and said, "Mingcheng, be careful on the road and come back safely!"
Gao Mingcheng made an OK gesture to him, then he got into the car with a push of his wrist. He didn't rush to drive, but put the things he brought on the passenger side one by one.
This time, in addition to the canvas bag, Gao Mingcheng also brought a lot of honey.
He has forty boxes of bees. Now is the season when flowers are in full bloom and there are abundant nectar sources. In addition, the bees he raises are Italian honey bees that are very active in collecting nectar. If he leads the Italian bees to chase large nectar sources all the time, then in a year, a box of bees will produce about 200 kilograms of honey.
Although Gao Mingcheng did not take these Italian bees to move around in search of large nectar sources, he would move the beehives appropriately according to the blooming season of flowers and choose new beekeeping locations in places with many nectar plants.
So after a year, he estimated that a box of bees produced about 150 kilograms of honey.
Then theoretically, forty boxes of bees will produce six thousand kilograms of honey. Of course, the output of a strong colony is definitely higher than that of a weak colony. Among these forty boxes of bees, some are strong colonies that produce more honey, while some are weak colonies that naturally produce less honey.
For example, the bees in a beehive got sick. At that time, not only did they stop producing honey, but the bees gradually died.
Although 6,000 kilograms is an approximate figure, Gao Mingcheng's family already has more than 500 kilograms of honey in stock.
Originally, he planned to put the honey in front of the entrance of a clothing store and sell it slowly. After all, it was his own business and didn't require much capital. However, honey was expensive after all. Apart from giving it as a gift or buying it as a tonic, few people would buy it for daily consumption.
So even though some were sold here and there, it wasn’t much.
Seeing him coming back from Hong Kong, he will shake the honey again, and by then the accumulated honey at home will be more and more.
So Gao Mingcheng planned to bring the honey to Yangcheng and sell it wholesale through Fan Chengyao's channels.
Although it is wholesale, the prices in big cities are high, so he won’t lose anything.
More than 500 kilograms of honey, part of which was neatly stacked on the passenger seat, and part of which was placed in the back compartment. Fortunately, it was packed in large bottles, so it didn't matter even if the car was bumpy during driving.
"Let's go! We'll leave the tractor here with you first!" Gao Mingcheng said to Xiao Jinfeng who was under the tractor.
In order to load more than 500 kilograms of honey, he had to drive a tractor.
However, the transportation company's site is large, easy to park, and there are often people there, so he feels at ease leaving the car here.
"Okay! Take care!" Xiao Jinfeng waved goodbye to Gao Mingcheng and watched him drive steadily out of the parking lot and turn onto the national highway.
Gradually, the car went away.
Xiao Jinfeng had done smuggling before, so he naturally knew the risks involved. However, Gao Mingcheng returned safely last time, so he hoped that the same would happen this time.
Xiao Jinfeng thought silently and turned back to the office.
Gao Mingcheng arrived at Yangcheng smoothly with a truckload of goods. The national highway that was damaged by the mudslide last time was also cleared during these days.
We are used to running all the way, so as long as we are alert, it won’t be a big problem.
After arriving in Yangcheng, Gao Mingcheng met Fan Chengyao.
Before, he only knew that Fan Chengyao opened a porcelain shop and perhaps was engaged in smuggling antiques, but he didn't know that Fan Chengyao actually had many business tentacles.
For example, he has a channel that can buy and sell various goods, and has corresponding connections and manpower.
The profits made by the porcelain shops in the open are far less than the profits made by the secret channels.
"Hello, Mr. Fan, we meet again!" Gao Mingcheng greeted with a smile. Next, he had to ask Fan Chengyao for help, so he naturally had to be nice.
Fan Chengyao looked him up and down and said, "You've made so much money, but you don't know how to enjoy it. You've become tanned."
July is the time for the double harvests and is also the hottest time of the year. Gao Mingcheng has been busy in the village for so long that he has indeed gotten tanned.
"Boss Fan earns more money than me, and he's always busy with business! We make money not just to make money, but also to realize our own life value!" Gao Mingcheng said something quite reasonable, which caused Fan Chengyao to ponder for a while.
"I just knew you were so talkative! I smell a sweet scent, what did you bring?" Fan Chengyao was standing on the passenger side and could smell the scent of honey through the car door.
He looked up at the car.
Gao Mingcheng opened the car door, and the sweet smell of honey became even stronger.
"It's honey, I raised it myself. Boss Fan, my small county can't sell so much, so I can only rely on your channels to distribute the goods." Gao Mingcheng took out a two-pound bottle of honey and handed it to Fan Chengyao, saying, "Here, I give it to you. It's very sweet. Licheng likes it very much."
Speaking of Fan Licheng, Fan Chengyao's face almost fell. He stared at the bottle in his hand. It was this kind of bottle, this kind of smell!
"Last time you gave Licheng a bottle of honey, he treasured it like a baby. He only gave it to me to drink once and said he would give the rest to his mother!" Fan Chengyao said sourly.
He simply opened the bottle cap and took a sip of honey from the bottle mouth.
When the sticky honey entered his mouth, the rich sweet taste exploded completely in his mouth, but Fan Chengyao's facial features were distorted.
It’s not that honey is bad, but he can’t accept something so sweet.
After swallowing it with difficulty, Fan Chengyao said in fear: "This is too sweet! I still have to soak it in water to drink it!"
Gao Mingcheng laughed and found his expression very funny.
"By the way, I have to tell you that children under one year old cannot drink honey. Don't give it to your daughter just because you think it is a good thing." Gao Mingcheng knew that Fan Chengyao had a child, so he reminded him specifically.
Many people will give good things to their children, even rich people, because they love their children.
However, because honey contains botulism toxin, children have weak gastrointestinal capabilities and are prone to botulism poisoning after eating honey.
Fan Chengyao said, "It seems that there is such a saying. How many kilograms of honey do you have?"
"More than 500 kilograms." Gao Mingcheng said as he started unloading the goods.
This batch of honey is packed in two types of bottles, one is a small bottle that can only hold two kilograms, and the other is a large plastic bottle for wine, which holds fifty kilograms.
This is because there was too much honey, so he just used this big bottle to hold it.
Fifty kilograms of honey seemed light as a feather in Gao Mingcheng's hand.
Soon, he unloaded all the honey from the car.
Fan Chengyao looked at the goods and said, "Honey is a good thing. It will definitely be easy to sell in Yangcheng. I can sell it in bulk for you. How do you sell it in the county?"
Gao Mingcheng said, "Seven yuan per pound."
Fan Chengyao thought that if he gave this batch of honey a better package, the price would definitely double, so he said, "I'll give it to you at this price. Lao Niu, move the stuff over and weigh it!"
"Okay. Okay." A shirtless burly man in the warehouse responded.
Soon, this batch of honey was weighed.
A total of five hundred and twelve kilograms.
Fan Chengyao looked at the small bottles of honey and said to Gao Mingcheng, "You have to keep two bottles for Licheng's mother. Your honey is good. His mother will definitely like it after eating it."
Gao Mingcheng was well prepared and said on the spot: "Two bottles are not enough! I will give her ten kilograms of honey!"
He had smuggled a batch of goods before and made so much money, so naturally he had to return the favor.
