Chapter 746 Wholesale
Liu Huili was sitting on the kang, sewing clothes for her daughter.
The little guy was sitting on one side of the kang, playing there.
Old Mrs. Fan put on a Dacron short-sleeved shirt and looked at herself in the mirror.
"Xiaohui, you have great craftsmanship. Look at the clothes you made. The stitching is just as good as the ready-made clothes sold in department stores. I saw that the ready-made clothes sold in department stores cost 35 yuan each. If you have the time, make yourself a couple of sets of clothes. Look at the clothes you made. They are the ones you wore when you got married. They are not fashionable anymore."
Her daughter-in-law had been helping her to make this dress yesterday, and she made it this morning so she could try it on.
If there was anything inappropriate, Liu Huili was prepared to modify it for the old lady.
"Mom, I'll make it for you and Xiaojiu first. Don't worry about the clothes. When Jianguo makes a lot of money, I can wear them. I can wear the clothes I have now. Besides, I'm weak and don't go out much. You have to go out to buy groceries and other things.
You should wear some new clothes when you go out, so that they can see them and don’t let them look down on Jianguo.”
She heard a lot of gossip from the neighbors during that year, and at first, the neighbors thought that their family was quite capable.
It was easy to get along with them, and I even tried to curry favor with them in every way.
Who knew that later I would see the old lady picking up rotten leaves in the vegetable market and picking up rags outside.
Immediately, all kinds of rumors began to spread among the neighbors. Some said that Fan Jianguo had committed a crime and his property had been confiscated, or that the couple had embezzled state property, so their store was taken back and not given to them.
Anyway, there are all kinds of opinions.
Old Mrs. Fan nodded.
"Okay, I'll wear this dress too and let them have a look. This is how my daughter-in-law treats them. Who else has a daughter-in-law as filial as me?"
"Mom, please stop making fun of me."
Liu Huili smiled.
She now treats her mother-in-law as her own mother.
"Jianguo has been out for almost ten days. He should be back soon, but there's no news at all. I'm so worried."
The old lady sat in front of her granddaughter, watching her playing with building blocks alone.
"When Jianguo left, he said he would be back in ten days at most. Today is the tenth day. I guess they should be here soon."
Liu Huili was also worried. Her husband had been away for such a long time. She had heard that it was easy to encounter bandits on the road when doing long-distance transportation. If something happened, they would rob the goods.
Although the country is cracking down on it, some people in remote areas are just too bold.
Fan Jianguo and his team arrived in Xishi seven days ago.
There is only one port between here and the State of Yue. When they arrived here, they applied for a temporary passport and then went directly to the State of Yue from here.
Of course, he contacted local comrades on the day of arrival, and his comrades introduced him to a guide who specialized in fruit business and could help them connect with the farmers, saving them the trouble of being peeled by middlemen.
Fan Jianguo visited the local orchards and was impressed by the excellent quality of the bananas, oranges, mangoes and other fruits that were in short supply in big cities. But they were everywhere here and very cheap, such as the bananas.
Bananas cut directly from the tree are only five cents per pound.
Except for the difficulty in storage during transportation, there are no problems in other aspects.
Fortunately, the people he found were all very experienced, and the orchard dealers under him did not dare to fool them.
The bananas they picked were all green. After being loaded onto the truck, they would be ripe even if they took three or five days on the road.
Basically, there will be very little loss on the road, and they also have special storage methods for mangoes and oranges.
In a nutshell, the things are quite cheap, and as long as they can be shipped back to Kyoto, this business trip will definitely increase several times.
There were eight large trucks on their trip, all of which were fully loaded.
After being delayed here for a few days, eight days had passed when they returned.
After declining the hospitality of their local comrades, they loaded the goods and returned overnight, mainly because they were afraid of any risks on the road.
Fan Jianguo was alert all the way and had to be more careful on the way back. After all, their car was empty when they went there, and the bandits would not intercept an empty car, so there was no point in robbing them.
But it was different when I went back, because my car was fully loaded with goods.
Fortunately, there were no dangers along the way, and after almost two days of driving, they arrived.
Eight vehicles rushed into Kyoto, and Fan Jianguo didn't even have time to go home, mainly because the vehicles were carrying popular fruits and the weather was hot.
Although the north is much cooler than the south, the temperature does not wait for anyone.
He doesn't have the time to go back and report the news.
We drove directly to the fruit wholesale market.
Fortunately, he recognized the leader of the fruit wholesale market. Of course, in previous years, he would buy wholesale goods from here and sell them at home, but this time he came as a wholesaler. This wholesale market is the same for everyone, and large trucks have to pay a certain fee to enter.
It’s about 50 a day, and you can withdraw after a few days of selling out.
Fan Jianguo was also lucky. On the first day at the wholesale market, people knew that so many fresh fruits had arrived, and many wholesalers came directly to take over the goods, wanting to resell them.
Fan Jianguo had already been around the market for a long time. Since he wanted to do this business, he would definitely not fight a battle without confidence.
This second-hand dealer can earn at most 50,000 yuan with his own capital of 100,000 yuan.
But if I work harder for two more days, I can do the wholesale myself.
This price is different. At least I can double it and earn 150,000 yuan this time.
After all, other people are different from him. No one pulls them back from such a far place. Usually, they bring fruits from neighboring provinces.
The bananas, mangoes and bananas he made are so good, you can't find them in this place.
Several guys were guarding the car.
Not to mention that there are quite a few people coming to wholesale, and they just sell it out like that.
Wholesale fruits here are more tiring than transportation. At least two people can take turns and have a break when doing transportation.
But now they are busy wholesale fruits during the day, and at night they have to sort all the fruits in the car as soon as it gets dark. If they don’t sort them out, the rotten fruits will easily spoil the fresh ones.
After three days of hard work, the batch of fruits was finally sold out.
However, the old lady and Liu Huili at home didn’t know that they were already worried.
It's already been fourteen days, and I still haven't seen any sign of them.
The two women at home have been anxious for a long time, but they know it is useless to be anxious.
The old lady went to look for Fan Xiuying specifically, but Fan Xiuying and the others were also helpless.
It's so far away and I can't get in touch with you even if I want to by phone.
Fortunately, Jiang Xiaoxiao was smart and asked her father to go to the fruit market and major fruit wholesale markets to see if he could see his uncle.
According to the time, they should come back.
