Chapter 128 Profits of the Purchasing Station and the Shop
Liu Qicheng gritted his teeth, calmed down his anger, walked into Lin Heng's shop, looked at him and said, "Let's talk."
Lin Heng glanced at him and sneered, "It turns out that Uncle Liu can also speak nicely."
Liu Qicheng wanted to hit someone because of the teasing, but he didn't dare. He forced himself to hold back and continued to say to Lin Heng, "This is not good for you or me. You are definitely not as good as the one in the city. Why do you have to act on impulse?"
"Who said it has no benefits for me? There are many benefits." Lin Heng looked at him and said with a smile.
Seeing Liu Qicheng like this, he finally let out a sigh of relief.
Not only Lin Heng, many people were gloating and secretly happy.
"Okay, okay, let's see how long you can play this game." Liu Qicheng laughed angrily, pointing at Lin Heng's nose and shouting, "You want to play with me with such little capital? Let's wait and see!"
Lin Heng smiled disdainfully. If he didn't know that this guy gambled, he would be really scared. But now, he was sure that Liu Qicheng didn't have much money.
Moreover, Lin Heng is not afraid of him because he has money. There is no need to compete with him financially. Lin Heng has already thought of a way to deal with it.
Liu Qichen retreated and spat twice as he left.
After returning, he wrote a sign. He also wanted to create a gimmick, but when he saw Lin Heng's price, he was speechless: "Damn this guy."
Lin Heng has almost raised the prices of these precious medicinal materials and furs to the top, and he will have to make a big loss.
And the more fatal problem is that that bastard Lin Heng is soliciting customers in front of the door like a street prostitute. He has no shame at all and calls everyone he sees uncles, aunts, grandpas and grandmas.
Unless he opens the purchasing station in front of there.
But if you want to rent a house at this time, the people in the town will definitely ask for a higher price, so it’s not that easy.
Gritting his teeth, he changed the prices and asked his wife to hold them up at the street corner: everything was one cent more expensive than Lin Heng's, and precious mountain products such as Ganoderma lucidum were one dollar more expensive.
Lin Heng looked at it with disdain, and waited for him to use this trick.
Customers have no loyalty at all, and some of them soon sold out because of the high price.
He also found someone to sell it secretly, which not only made him a little more money but also helped him to recover his funds quickly.
But the mountain products were all the same, and Liu Qichen couldn't tell which ones were really selling mountain products and which ones were invited by Lin Heng.
"Damn it!" Liu Qicheng soon discovered something was wrong. He was eaten to death by Lin Heng.
Just when the price went up, he received more than two kilograms of Ganoderma lucidum all at once. How could this be possible? It must be Lin Heng's doing.
Mountain products are different from other things. Lin Heng took the initiative to kill him. In the end, he could only helplessly maintain the same purchase price as Lin Heng, but in this way, Lin Heng's geographical advantage was reflected again.
No matter how the game goes, Lin Heng wins big. Liu Qicheng finally sees Lin Heng's hidden ferocious fangs.
"Brother, this move of yours is too cruel."
In the backyard of the Lin family purchasing station, Lin Yue was completely convinced by his younger brother.
Father Lin was also full of emotion: "Yes, I also thought it would be a price war, but I didn't expect you to have this trick."
He felt that his brain was not enough.
"Hahaha, this is what we call "he who does too much evil will eventually perish by his own evil deeds." Lin Heng laughed happily.
He had already decided that Liu Qichen would raise the price so he would quickly dispose of high-value items like Ganoderma lucidum, as the market prices of these items fluctuated too much.
Maybe when he sells it to Jin Fuqiang a month later, the price will be reduced to fifty, and he will suffer a huge loss then.
So this move of his not only directly transferred the risk, but also made Liu Qicheng a few dollars.
Father Lin thought for a moment and asked, "If he moves, will this solve the problem?"
Lin Heng nodded: "That's right, but he can't kill me. At most, we are evenly matched."
Because he was already at the entrance of the main street, Liu Qichen would not be able to double-team him even if he moved to another location.
He had kept the opening of the purchasing station a secret in the first place just for the current effect. If Liu Qichen had known about it in advance, the effect would have been greatly reduced.
"Great!" Father Lin said, and ran out to help.
Liu Qicheng's place was deserted, and those who went there were just there to watch the fun.
Today, Lin Heng is the only one in power here.
Once these people go back and spread the news, Lin Heng's purchasing station will be able to run steadily.
Some other shops in the town also heard about this incident. They secretly sighed at the ruthlessness of Lin Heng's methods and felt a little frightened.
If they put themselves in Liu Qicheng's shoes, there would be no way out unless they had enough money, but this would mean killing one thousand enemies but losing nine hundred and nine of their own.
It was not until the afternoon market that Lin Heng began to count today's harvest.
The main medicinal materials were low-priced houttuynia cordata, epimedium, and Pseudostellaria baicalensis, which amounted to more than 500 kilograms. The medium-priced ones were honeysuckle, ginseng, and astragalus, which amounted to about 100 kilograms. The high-priced Ganoderma lucidum, etc., amounted to less than 3 kilograms, and they had all been sold to Liu Qicheng.
All in all, if he sold it, he could make about 30 yuan, and if it was the price Liu Qicheng offered before, he could make about 50 yuan.
The market days in Huangtan Town are the third, sixth, ninth, thirteenth, sixteenth, and nineteenth days of the first lunar month.
There are nine market days in a month. Apart from the market, there are very few people in the town and they make almost no money. All in all, they can earn about 300 yuan a month, but no more than 350 yuan.
But you can't earn that much money every month of the year. Only in summer and autumn can you make almost the same amount of money.
On average in spring and winter, you may earn less than 100 yuan a month. Although hunting is good in winter, there are not many people who can hunt, and even fewer who can sell their furs.
All in all, Lin Heng estimated that his annual profit from collecting mountain products is around two thousand. If he becomes the only one in the market in the future and raises the price a little, then it may be around three thousand.
Of course, the above is only the profit of the purchasing station, and it does not include the income of his convenience store.
The canteen sold goods worth 120 yuan today, and made a profit of almost 20 yuan because there were so many promotions.
Because his store and the purchasing station are highly integrated, he only sells so many goods on market days every month, with a monthly profit of 180 yuan and an estimated annual profit of around 1500 yuan.
He mainly relies on collecting mountain products to sell things here. When there are no mountain products to buy, the store will be greatly affected.
Including the purchasing station, it’s about 3,500 yuan, and the net profit may be only 3,000 yuan.
Father Lin looked at the final price and couldn't help but be shocked: "This is too much, isn't it? We have raised the purchase price and sold the goods at a discount. How can we make so much money in the end?"
Lin Yue also widened his eyes: "Brother, did you miscalculate?"
"Of course it's true. There are more than 20,000 people in Huangtan Town selling mountain products here, and then buying things. The profit is already low enough." Lin Heng shook his head and said.
After a pause, he continued, "Liu Qicheng used to make money. He could earn three to four thousand yuan a year just by collecting mountain products."
It is not difficult to do business in this era. What is difficult is to have the start-up capital. If Lin Heng had not been reborn, it would have taken at least seven or eight years to save enough start-up capital by hunting alone.
Lin Yue took a deep breath and said, "No wonder this bastard looks down on people. He earns too much."
Father Lin finally understood why Mr. Lin Heng always said that growing crops could not make money. If he had never met him, he would have no idea that business could be so profitable.
"But you can't learn from Liu Qicheng, who was pointed at the back of his head and cursed at his ancestors. It's enough for us to make a little money. It's not easy for ordinary people either." Father Lin looked at Lin Heng and persuaded him.
After a pause, he warned, "Also, even if you have money, don't mess around outside. If you dare to let Xiulan down, I will break your legs."
Lin Heng helplessly spread his hands: "Dad, you worry too much. I'm not that kind of person. Wang Zhou is still here. Can't you give me some face?"
Father Lin didn't care about that: "Anyway, I'm saying this. If you really want to mess up, even if you are a billionaire, I will break your legs and make you unable to run away again."
"Don't worry." Lin Heng smiled and assured that neither of these two things would happen.
First of all, he set up a purchasing station and a convenience store just to build fish ponds and raise funds for fish and shrimp farming. It was not his main business, so he would definitely not raise prices sharply.
As for feeling sorry for Xiulan, that is even more impossible.
Price increase is possible, but the latter thing is absolutely impossible.
"That's the best." Father Lin nodded, then said, "Then pack up your things and let's go back."
Lin Heng nodded, sorted out the account books, left 100 yuan to Wang Zhou, and took the rest away.
When it is not market day, one hundred yuan is more than enough. When it is market day, he will deliver the money in advance.
Although Wang Zhou was a very honest man in his previous life, no one knows what would happen if he saw too much money.
"Have you learned today's procedures?" Lin Heng asked Wang Zhou.
"You know it, Brother Lin." Wang Zhou nodded. He was now completely convinced. Even though he was obviously older than Lin Heng, he was convinced by calling him brother.
He couldn't learn Lin Heng's method at all and felt dazzled.
"Haha, it's good that you've learned it. If you work hard, I will start looking for a suitable partner for you when I return to the village. I guarantee that you'll marry a good wife next year." Lin Heng patted his shoulder and said with a smile, intensifying the PUA.
"Okay, I will work hard." Wang Zhou suddenly became full of energy.
After packing up his things, Lin Heng was about to go see why Caiyun hadn't finished school yet, when she walked briskly towards him from a distance.
"Brother, how is business today?" Caiyun walked into the house and said with a smile.
"Well, I can only say it's as good as it can be." Lin Heng said with a smile. Making money is nothing. The most important thing is that he got rid of his anger.
"Is it true?" Caiyun didn't believe it.
Father Lin patted his daughter on the shoulder and said, "This couldn't be more true. Now that you're here, let's go back."
Seeing his daughter so happy now, he felt a little guilty. He was incompetent and had to rely on his son to let Caiyun go to school.
"Yes, I'll tell you slowly on the way back." The eldest brother Lin Yue also nodded.
Lin Heng took his father and others to say goodbye to Grandpa Gao. Grandpa Gao renting him a house was also a key factor in his success. This was the bottleneck. It might be difficult to achieve such an effect today in other places.
"It's all your own ability. Just don't forget your original intention. Come fishing with me when you have time." Grandpa Gao waved his hand and sent him away.
In fact, he had disliked Liu Qicheng for a long time, and he was very happy with what Lin Heng did today.
After bidding farewell to Grandpa Gao and saying goodbye to Wang Zhou, Lin Heng and his family headed back.
I have fresh pork, a fish and a chicken in my hands. I have to celebrate when I go back tonight.
Walking on the road, the sky was high and the clouds were vast, the breeze was warm, and Lin Heng's face was full of smiles. From this moment on, the Lin family could at least have enough food and clothing, and no longer worried about food and clothing.
On the way home, the family was chatting and laughing. The wax gourds on the trees began to turn red and the fragrance of schisandra chinensis gradually spread. It was almost the eighth month of the lunar calendar when all kinds of wild fruits were ripe.
Lin Heng was in a good mood, and he would have just enough time to pick wild fruits.
After Caiyun learned about Lin Heng’s approximate annual income, she was shocked and said, “Oh my God, second brother, you will really be a rich man in the future.”
Lin Heng turned his head and smiled while looking at the scenery: "If you settle the account with me, I will give you a big red envelope for the New Year."
"That's not necessary. This is what I should do." Caiyun shook her head.
At seven o'clock, Lin Heng and his group returned to Hongfeng Village.
Before I went home, I ran into Yang Zhaotao, who was walking towards me. He smiled and said, "Boss Lin is back. He quietly opened a purchasing station and a store. That's amazing."
Lin Heng hardly leaked the news in the village before the opening. It was only when everyone went to the market today that they realized how shocked everyone was.
They thought that selling Coriolus versicolor would be the end of it, but they never expected that it was just the beginning.
The whole village is in an uproar now. Lin Heng's recent series of operations are so shocking that many people have watched him become richer step by step.
"Don't humiliate me. It's just an attempt. You won't make much money." Lin Heng shook his head.
"Anyway, you did a great job. Liu Qicheng has disliked him for a long time." Yang Zhaotao laughed again.
He also felt that Lin Heng didn't make much money today because the price was too high.
Lin Heng said a few words to him and walked quickly home, otherwise he would have to ask everyone he met later.
When they reached the door of their house, Jin Yan happened to pass by not far away. She quickly glanced at Lin Heng and left.
In fact, she also went to the street to sell medicinal herbs today. When she found out that the new purchasing station was opened by Lin Heng, she was stunned.
How come this man is becoming more and more dazzling day by day? She is feeling more and more uncomfortable.
Finally, she asked someone else to sell the herbs and hurried back.
She didn't expect to meet him again now. She didn't even dare to look at him for long. It was too embarrassing.
Lin Heng didn't even notice her, he was only thinking about his wife and children.
Although Xiulan and Lin's mother did not go down today, they heard about the situation from the villagers who returned.
"I'm glad you're back. We have prepared all the food and are waiting for you to come back."
In the yard of Lin Heng's house, Lin's mother, sister-in-law and others were all there.
"We also bought some food. Let's have a good meal tonight to celebrate." Lin Heng said with a smile.
"Yes, let's have a good meal." Lin Yue also said with a smile.
"I'm tired of eating meat lately." Father Lin said with a smile.
Although the three of them had happy expressions on their faces, Lin's mother still asked, "Did everything go well today?"
"Of course, under normal circumstances, Lin Heng can also use the income of 3,000 yuan a year." Lin's father said with a smile.
“Three thousand dollars!!”
Both Lin's mother and Liu Juan opened their eyes wide, somewhat unable to believe it.
"A piece of candy costs one cent, and three thousand yuan would be enough to buy a whole house." The eldest nephew Lin Wei counted on his fingers, unable to figure out the cost at all.
Lin Heng took the things into the house and asked Lin's father and elder brother to explain it to them slowly.
"Just put the things on the chopping board. I'll take care of it. You go take a rest."
Xiulan, who was busy in the kitchen, said with a smile.
"Yes, you go out, I'll help Xiulan." Lin's mother and sister-in-law walked in, smiling.
Mother Lin looked at Lin Heng and felt it was unreal that her son had become so successful.
Sister-in-law Liu Juan had not expected that Lin Heng would make such a big move in such a short time. Not only did he open a new purchasing station, but he also closed down the old purchasing station in one fell swoop. What kind of means was this?
"Well, my dad bought this fish. I don't buy fish."
When leaving, Lin Heng added: As a fisherman, he would never buy fish to eat in his life.
If he can't catch any, he'd rather not eat it.
"Dad!" Xiaoxia came to him wearing clean clothes and asked for a hug with her big eyes.
She had already forgotten that Lin Heng had said yesterday that he would come back and get her some shrimp crackers.
Lin Heng picked her up with a smile, took out a bag of shrimp crackers from the bag, gave some to his three nephews first, and then gave the rest to her.
Xiaoxia looked at the shrimp crackers in the hands of the three people, then looked at what was in her own bag. Just as she was about to pout in anger, Lin Heng fed the shrimp crackers into her mouth.
The deliciousness of the shrimp strips made her choose to eat first, and she leaned in Lin Heng's arms with her cheeks puffed out.
Lin Wei and his two companions finished the shrimp strips in just two bites and surrounded Lin Heng to ask about the convenience store and the shop.
"It's not much. Don't talk about it in school and don't spread it around, otherwise I will spank you." Lin Heng warned.
"Did you hear that, Lin Wei and Lin Tao? If you go out and say anything, just wait for a group of people at home to hang you two up and beat you up in turns." Lin Yue also warned.
"I understand." The two nodded quickly, their hearts filled with fear.
"Don't talk nonsense. There's still food to be had. If you talk nonsense, there's no food left." Lin Heng added. He didn't want everyone to know how much money he made a year.
"I'll remember that, Second Father." Lin Wei nodded vigorously. Lin Heng's words were more effective than his father's.
It was a little past seven forty when the meal was ready. The kids were drooling over the food. It was better than the one during the Chinese New Year, with chicken, pork, fish and everything else.
"Dad, Mom... everyone, let's drink first to celebrate everything going well today." Lin Heng raised his glass and said with a smile.
Not only do adults have wine to drink, but children also have honey water.
"good!"
The whole family raised their glasses together, and today will become a special moment in everyone's memory.
From this day on, the Lin family completed a preliminary turnaround. The latent dragon soared into the abyss and the young tiger roared in the valley from this day on.
There were ten dishes on the table, and the chicken and pork were all served in small wooden basins. Today the children could eat as much as they wanted, and no one said anything to them.
“It feels so good to be full after eating meat.”
"I'm so full, I don't want any more food."
After eating for a while, Lin Wei and Lin Tao couldn't eat anymore and slipped out to play in the yard.
"Mom and Dad, eat quickly. If you don't finish it, it will go bad tomorrow morning." Lin Heng pointed at the meat in the bowl and said that the parents didn't need to give way to the child today.
"Okay!" Father and Mother Lin picked up the meat and put it into their mouths with smiles on their faces.
After finishing the meal, I felt like I couldn’t eat anymore.
Father Lin was happy today. Lin Heng took a sip, but he just drank a small cup. He couldn't even walk steadily when going to the toilet.
The last person still ate a little rice, otherwise there would be too much left.
After eating, Lin Heng helped his father walk back, and Caiyun helped Lin's mother, who was also drunk.
"Son, you are really promising, and dad is also lucky enough to have you do this." Father Lin said with a smile on the way.
"Dad, this is what you deserve." Lin Heng said with a smile. People who have worked hard all their lives should have this kind of retribution.
