Chapter 144: Not Afraid of Hoarding
The pirate ship is coming ashore.
Through the new vest, Tang Yuan quickly discovered the movements of the pirate ship and saw the faint land in the distance.
If nothing goes wrong, the pirate ship will reach the shore in less than two days.
And one night, she saw pirates sneaking into the cargo hold. When they came out, they were holding two boxes in their hands, obviously doing the same thing as her.
She followed him, saw him hiding the box, and confirmed his identity as a pirate.
This was really like delivering water to the thirsty and delivering food to the hungry. She was just worrying about how to cause internal strife among these pirates, and then the opportunity came.
This pirate was probably planning to quietly sell these boxes of goods for money once he got ashore. He was afraid of being noticed before, but now that he was about to get ashore, he decided to take advantage of this good opportunity.
When the pirate returned to his own cabin, she quickly sneaked into the cargo hold where the goods were stored, opened all the boxes one by one, and transferred all the boxes containing electronic products to her own game space, and then moved them to the warehouse of Country M.
After a few days of getting to know the new pirate, she had a better understanding of the group of people around her. When the pirate ship went ashore, the pirates would also go ashore, but those who were captured had no chance and no qualifications to go ashore, so the reselling of goods had basically nothing to do with them.
But pirates are different. They are going to go ashore anyway, so it is not difficult for them to sell some goods while they are there. They are also the ones with the greatest chance and the most likely to steal goods.
After transferring the things, Tang Yuan no longer controlled the new account. Apart from occasionally coming to take a look, she basically just did her own thing.
Until something suddenly started disappearing.
As expected, the pirates obviously knew that the disappearance of these things was most likely due to internal problems, and excluding those who were not allowed to leave the pirate ship, the pirates had the opportunity to move.
On this day, the pirate ship had even stopped at the shore. If they wanted to transfer the goods, they just had to move the things down without any additional effort.
Similarly, the cargo that she had seen stolen by pirates and placed in the cabin was also searched out. Naturally, this man would not admit that he had stolen a lot of cargo.
This led to more serious internal strife and suspicion among the pirates.
Tang Yuan felt very happy about this. These pirates were full of malice and were never polite to the cargo ships passing by. Now they were fighting and hurting each other, which was all their own fault.
The only surprise was that Tang Yuan was left in the "transit station". Of course, it was not because she was suspected, but because all the people who were robbed and left on the pirate ship, including her, were left behind.
This doesn't mean she will stay here forever. If she has the chance, she can still go to Shanghai to pirate.
"It's okay. It's safe here."
The other two people who were resting in a room on the pirate ship talked to her. Even after getting off the ship, the three of them were arranged in one room and had no independent space of their own.
Living together as a family of three can save space and allow them to supervise each other, which is the most cost-effective.
But the people here only go this far and are not strict about other things, which means she has a lot of room for maneuver.
Tang Yuan strolled and easily appeared near a warehouse where a large amount of goods were stored. Looking at the warehouse full of goods, his eyes lit up.
When we walked to the entrance and exit, we saw layers of guards, and the security was so strict that not even a fly could fly out. They certainly could not imagine that someone could transfer things without going out.
She was not greedy. She would take whatever she could touch. She would take a box at a time. Since they were pirated things, she would rather take them than give them away.
…
"I'm in a good mood recently. Have you settled the payment for the goods?"
"About that," Tang Yuan smiled. "They're a big company, they definitely won't let me off for this little bit. But I've been in a really good mood lately, so I started a small business. The cost is very low, but the profit is good. If I can do it for a long time, I should be able to make a lot over time."
The cost is not only extremely low, it is practically free.
Anyway, she stole things from pirates, so she didn't feel burdened at all.
"Do you need my help?" Zheng Man asked.
"No, it's just a small matter. I can handle it myself." Tang Yuan shook his head, remembered something, and took out a bag. "Here are a few radios. I'll give them to you guys to play with."
"How much?" Zheng Man asked immediately.
Tang Yuan shook his head: "It's free. They said it was given as a gift, so it must be free. By the way, can you help me find out if there are any machines for roasting coffee?"
Zheng Man was curious: "Are we going to expand the coffee business next?"
"No, a small machine will do. It doesn't have to be expensive. I'll have someone arrange it for you," Tang Yuan said. "Just ask the price. If you have one, buy it and I'll have someone arrange it for you."
The growing season for coffee is three years. The amount of coffee will surely increase from this year to next. It would be troublesome and time-consuming for the villagers to do it on their own. If there were machines, it would save time and control the quality of the coffee, which would be more convenient for her to do coffee business.
Beverage shops in Country M don't necessarily have to make milk tea drinks, they can also make coffee drinks. When the demand for coffee increases, she will have to prepare it in advance.
However, the source of this business still has to be in Yun Province. After buying the machines, she can rent them to Yun Province and let them continue to supply her with coffee beans.
Talking about coffee, Tang Yuan took out a few more bottles of drinks: "These are for you too."
"What is this...?"
"This is the business of my friend in Country M. Currently, it is only sold in Country M. Although the business of this drink is not particularly good, it is still fruitful and the sales volume is acceptable. Some of it has been shipped over before, and you can take it back to drink." It was something that could be brought over in a moment, but she had to wait a little longer. Otherwise, it would be inappropriate to bring it back before it was launched in Country M.
However, the beverage business is indeed good, much better than she expected. As a result, the beverage factory's demand for tea has increased a bit. Tang Yuan will have to deliver a few large bags of tea tomorrow morning.
"Then I'll be polite," Zheng Man put away the drink with a smile, "My sister will definitely like this drink."
…
"Amy, you're welcome."
"Welcome me, or welcome tea?" Tang Yuan smiled as he got out of the car. When Mira came over, he opened the trunk door. "These bags of tea should be enough for a few days, right?"
"Of course, thank you for bringing it here," Mira hugged her, "Our drinks are selling very well, much better than before. Fortunately, you have a lot of tea leaves, otherwise I don't know what to do."
"Don't worry. I don't have anything else here, but I will definitely have enough tea. Just sell it. If you need more in the future, I will rent a large truck and bring you more tea."
"It's settled then. I'll try to sell more drinks, and you, bring me more tea leaves," Mira held her and stepped on the ground. "You are my lucky star. With you around, I have the strength to do anything."
"That's thanks to your ability. If you couldn't sell it, I would just be providing tea and there would be nothing I could do." Tang Yuan replied with a smile, and then took some time to unload the tea bags from the car.
The van is not big and can't hold much tea leaves. Fortunately, not a lot of tea leaves are needed to make milk tea. These few bags of tea leaves are enough to make a lot of drinks.
But if beverage factories follow the trend, this amount of tea is far from enough.
Tang Yuan followed Mira into the factory and saw the warehouse that she had cleaned out and renovated specifically for storing tea leaves. He knew that she had already thought about storing a large amount of inventory.
After looking at the warehouse, she understood what Mira meant and offered to come back in two days. She would rent a large truck and bring 5,000 kilograms of tea in one go.
It was said to be 5,000 kilograms, but in reality it was only one dollar per kilogram, a total of 5,000 dollars. Including the transportation fee, the price was not high.
Without saying a word, Mira gave her five thousand US dollars as an advance reservation for the batch of tea.
After paying, I couldn't help but sigh: "Luckily we are together, otherwise I would really worry that you would sell the tea to someone else. Tea is one dollar a pound, and in such a large quantity, it's really hard to find."
"As long as you can sell it, I can find you as much tea as you want," Tang Yuan said with a smile. "After all, as you said, we are in this together. If the beverage factory does good business, I can also make more money."
She is now selling two products at the same time. She makes money from tea leaves and another from the drinks sold by the beverage factory.
Even if the beverage factory's business was good, she still had more than 200,000 kilograms of tea leaves on hand, and it would be impossible to consume them all in a short period of time.
If business is good next year, she won't have to look only in Yun Province, there are other places to look. However, no matter how good the market here in Country M is, it probably won't be able to consume so much tea.
Her idea is to return to China to build a factory. When the domestic situation improves, she can build a beverage factory or open a beverage store.
Otherwise, she could sell tea bags, so she wouldn't have to worry about stockpiling the tea for a long time.
"Amy, the warehouse over there has delivered corn and cornstalks. Do you want to pick them up now?"
"Yes," Tang Yuan nodded, thinking of the truck just mentioned, "Send a few people out in the next two days to help me crush the corn and corn stalks. When the truck comes, have the truck take the feed to my warehouse on the way back."
"Then I'll make another call and ask someone to send over some more corn stalks and corn, as well as some old corn from last year. You should be able to buy it at a very cheap price now," Mira offered. "It's a pity that this business is not easy to do, otherwise I would also do the feed business with you. I don't know why, but I always feel that I feel more...powerful when I'm with you."
"I don't run a feed business either. I just deliver some to my friends," Tang Yuan said with a smile. "The most important thing is the beverage factory. We have enough tea leaves. We can seize the market in advance and build a brand. When the time comes, we can expand the scale and you will be more powerful."
"Of course, I like this kind of life." Mira smiled.
The two talked for a while. This time Tang Yuan did not stay here for too long. He returned to his residence early, and then quietly came to the pirates' cargo "transfer station" to continue "moving" the goods.
