Chapter 71
Jian Feng and his companions went to two more temple fairs and almost sold out all the items they brought each day.
Xiao Shi and Xiao Meng each took more than 3,000 yuan, and Ni Hao also earned nearly 2,000 yuan.
But on the fifth day of the Chinese New Year, when Jian Feng had settled the bill with the factory and went to pick up the goods, something unexpected happened.
The person who was originally responsible for settling the bill with Jian Feng drooped his eyelids and said, "It's not possible today. The factory is out of stock."
No matter what Jian Feng said, he said that the product was out of stock and he would not issue an order.
Xiao Meng was anxious and angrily cursed: "The goods in the factory are not yours. The leader told us to buy them. Why are you so mean? You are deliberately making things difficult for me!"
Isn't it just deliberately making things difficult for others? No matter how Xiao Meng scolded, the other party just said one word.
Out of stock.
If you want to find a leader, you can, just wait until after the New Year, when the leader is in office.
At the end, the man even jokingly said, "You two have only one daughter, and you are working so hard to make money."
Jian Feng looked at the man deeply, and he lowered his head and stopped saying harsh words. He threw the documents in his hand around, meaning that he was going to get off work and would not deliver the goods anyway.
After leaving the house, Xiao Shi was also angry: "This guy is so shameless. I gave him 200 yesterday, why is he still so unsatisfied?"
Even Xiaoshi could see that this person was clearly trying to get some benefits.
But he had been giving him 200 yuan every day for the past few days, so he had spent nearly 1,000 yuan just to take care of him. Not to mention the people in the warehouse. Jian Feng asked him to buy two packs of Zhonghua cigarettes, and gave one pack to each person every time he went there.
Xiao Shi hung his head and said sadly: "If we continue to pay him like this, we will become his employees."
The profit margins of the small items sold these days are already thin, not to mention the long distance. A large truck trip can cost hundreds of yuan.
Just refueling every day makes several people feel very distressed.
Xiao Meng and Xiao Shi were at a loss and turned their attention to Jian Feng.
Jian Feng took out a cigarette from his pocket. He had no habit of smoking and could not understand people who smoked before. But now that he really did something, he finally understood why Kong Guorong was an old smoker.
I have to take care of the livelihoods of several people, and I feel the pressure of several people in my heart.
Especially in business, it is normal to make money today and lose money tomorrow.
I'm so busy that I can't live without something to refresh myself.
Jian Feng thought of his wife and daughter, so he didn't dare to smoke any more. He just smelled the cigarette and put it back.
"Xiao Meng, go to the warehouse and take a look. Stay away from people."
Xiao Meng didn't even ask what he was looking at and ran away in a flash.
"Xiao Shi, go ask around too. Give the security guard two boxes of cigarettes and ask him if anyone has come to the factory today."
Xiao Shi immediately understood what Jian Feng meant and said through gritted teeth, "That son of a bitch will definitely not sell it to us but to someone else."
Jian Feng thought so too.
In the past two days, the other party's attitude changed too quickly. Even if they wanted benefits, they had to give a price. But the man seemed to want to drive them away and did not mention money at all.
Abnormal, absolutely abnormal.
Xiao Meng came back quickly, running out of breath: "Brother Feng, there are several cars coming over there!"
Jian Feng understood immediately.
The news Xiaoshi brought back further confirmed his guess.
"It is said that Xiao Guofu's brother-in-law has been coming here these days."
Xiao Shi bit his back teeth and said, "Brother Feng, what should we do?"
If the factory director takes the lead in not asking them to do it and argues with them, will they really stop doing it?
Even though they knew it wouldn't last long, some of them never thought it would end up like this.
Xiao Guofu has now retreated to the second line, waiting for the factory to go bankrupt and be liquidated, and his wife's relatives have also stopped working there one by one.
Xiao Guofu's brother-in-law is not even from the sales department, so on what basis can he take away all the goods?
Being forced to give up is not a pleasant feeling.
Jian Feng waved his hands: "I'm done, take a rest."
Xiao Shi and Xiao Meng: "Brother Feng!"
I can't swallow this.
A hint of coldness flashed in Jian Feng's eyes.
He gave up the business, but he didn't plan to let Xiao Guofu go.
"Call the police and tell them someone is stealing goods from the factory."
Whether it’s black or white, spread it out for everyone to see!
After calling the police, they arrived soon.
Wang Mengmei’s store was robbed before, so the police station has recently stepped up patrols of cotton textile factories, fearing that problems will arise again during the Chinese New Year.
It was New Year's Day, and when the police car sounded, many people in the family compound got up and put on their clothes to watch the excitement.
The dozen or so large trucks that had not yet left the warehouse gate were particularly eye-catching under the police's lights.
"Where's the manager? Come out!"
Xiao Guofu's brother-in-law stepped forward and passed cigarettes to everyone: "It's me, it's me, leaders, what's going on?"
"Someone reported you for stealing goods."
Xiao Guofu's brother-in-law smiled awkwardly: "That's not true. We are just shipping goods normally. I am not stealing. I am just an employee of our factory. Do you know Xiao Guofu? He is my brother-in-law. My brother-in-law asked me to come here."
The staff member who arrived a little later also chimed in: "I can testify that this is what the factory leader said, that the overstocked goods should be shipped out at once. It was not stolen."
The policeman was skeptical: "Then how come someone reported you for stealing? Show us the shipping list."
The staff wiped his sweat and said, "It's so late at night..."
The police looked at it more and more and felt something was wrong: "Didn't you say you were shipping the goods? You must have an invoice? Just show us the invoice."
The staff and Xiao Guofu's brother-in-law looked unhappy.
They were so busy trying to squeeze Jian Feng out that they didn't even complete the procedure.
The policeman frowned and said, "If not, then come with us first."
Xiao Guofu's brother-in-law was so anxious that he poked the man and said, "Don't you have a notice from the leader? Show it to others."
The man was sweating. Take it out? There was no written statement on the order that all the overstocked goods should be shipped out at once.
The original words of the leader were: "In order to ensure a smooth transition for the laid-off workers, the factory's overstocked goods can be sold at cost price so that the workers can pay first and then make up the difference."
retail!
It's not like selling everything to one person at once!
This person took out the notice and cursed Xiao Guofu's brother-in-law in his heart.
This bastard, I told him again and again not to take it all at once, at least leave some for sale to others after the holiday, this makes sense.
Who knew this thing could actually bring in more than a dozen semi-trailers in one go!
The police received the notice and said: “This doesn’t explain anything.”
So many goods, and not even an order?
Xiao Guofu's brother-in-law was still trying to fool him, but Jian Feng stood up and said, "The factory has indeed let go of the overstocked stock."
Before Xiao Guofu's brother-in-law could rejoice, Jian Feng added: "But this is about letting everyone take it, not giving benefits to one person."
Xiao Guofu's brother-in-law almost vomited blood and stared at Jian Feng with anger in his eyes.
"You son of a bitch, you were the one who called the police, right?"
Jian Feng said calmly: "I reported him for using his connections to embezzle the factory's assets."
Xiao Guofu's brother-in-law raised his voice: "Those are all unsold goods! I am contributing to the factory!"
Jian Feng pointed at the worker who was shaking like chaff and said calmly, "These goods can be sold. You have been looking for him these days, isn't it just to see how I am doing?"
As more and more people gathered around, Jian Feng simply started talking loudly about the goods he had purchased in the past few days.
"The goods in the factory can be sold! Even if you don't have a big car, you can find a small car or a tricycle and sell them in crowded places! Don't be misled by this. The factory has given us preferential conditions. You can deposit the money first and pay after the goods are sold!"
Jian Feng's words caused a lot of discussion among the people around him. Some people quickly understood the problem, while others were still confused and looked around.
Xiao Guofu's brother-in-law said viciously, "Jian Feng, what do you want?"
Would he gain any benefit from spreading the news of his fortune?
Jian Feng could have used this as a negotiation and he would have naturally given him some of the goods. Both sides could have made money. But if he said it now, people who wanted to take the goods would surely flock to him, and no one would have made any money.
"You think if you do this, these people will understand?"
Jian Feng turned his head and never felt so happy in his life.
"Your brother-in-law, and you, should go sit in the detention room."
Xiao Guofu's brother-in-law gritted his teeth. At this point, he finally came to his senses and realized that he should not drag his brother-in-law into the water.
"This has nothing to do with my brother-in-law. I did it myself."
Xiao Guofu has been so busy lately that he has no time to get involved in such matters.
He was greedy for Jian Feng's money, so he lied and said that his brother-in-law asked him to pick up the goods.
He did not intend to sell his goods everywhere like Jian Feng did. He just wanted to sell all the goods to a middleman at once. He would earn less, but the total profit would still be considerable.
Unexpectedly, the boat capsized in the ditch.
Jian Feng is a ruthless person. He would rather not make any money himself than let others make any money.
The police came over and arrested the man: "Let's go, come to the police station if you have anything to say."
The staff member in charge of stamping looked as pale as death. He originally thought that it was really Xiao Guofu's intention, but who would have thought that Xiao Guofu didn't even know about it!
The police also arrested him. The truck and the goods were all put into the warehouse, waiting to be checked before deciding what to do.
As soon as the police left, some people came up to ask Jian Feng what he meant just now.
Jian Feng patiently answered everything.
"We went there for a few days. The temple fair is the best place to sell goods. If you have relatives, you can go a little further. You can also sell goods in the towns below."
“The price is slightly lower than the market price, and the ones with defects are the best sellers.”
"It would be best to have a letter of authorization from our factory so that people can tell at a glance that the product is from our factory."
After listening to this, most people understood why Jian Feng had just had that quarrel with Xiao Guofu's brother-in-law, and the look in their eyes when they looked at Jian Feng suddenly became much more complicated.
Jian Feng's expression was gentle: "Everyone should be more diligent during this first month of the year. Small trade may seem insignificant, but it actually makes a lot of money. If you don't want to purchase goods, you can sell individual items. We are all from the same factory, so we can help each other. If one family doesn't have enough, a few families can work together. We can save on transportation costs and make more money."
Some people listened carefully and decided to pick up the goods tomorrow.
The children are about to start school after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the several hundred yuan tuition fee is still nowhere to be found. This is their last chance.
Everyone was very affectionate towards Jian Feng. As it was almost four o'clock, someone pulled Jian Feng home to have dinner.
Jian Feng waved his hands: "No, no."
Some people thanked Jian Feng, while others murmured that Jian Feng was hiding something.
"I've been struggling for days before I told you."
Someone immediately couldn't stand it and said to him: "If they hadn't told you, you wouldn't know it now."
What? Is it not enough for someone to show you a clear path? Do you think you have good character only if they give you money for free?
Jian Feng pretended not to hear those discordant noises, and he and Xiao Shi and Xiao Meng separated at the intersection.
Although their business was ruined, both of them felt relieved.
Jian Feng: "That's enough, we have done enough for now. We have been busy enough this year. Go back and have a good rest. When I come back..."
Xiao Shi looked at him with a burning gaze: "What are you going back for?"
Jian Feng smiled: "Let's talk about it later."
Making money is addictive.
I guess the next time won’t be too far away.
