Chapter 454 The deal is done, but yours is not
The three of them got on the bus bound for the city.
There were not many people on the bus today. Su Niannian greeted a few familiar faces and then sat in the back with Lao Qian and Lu Hongliang.
On the way, the three of them chatted about some unimportant topics, such as their recent situation.
After several people got off the bus at the station, Lu Hongliang said that he and Lao Qian were now living in a guesthouse near the largest black market.
"In your situation, can you still stay in a guesthouse?" Su Niannian was a little curious.
After all, in this day and age, you need a letter of introduction to stay in a guesthouse.
Without a letter of introduction, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in the guesthouse.
Upon hearing this, Old Qian smiled and scratched his head.
After Su Niannian thought about it, she realized that she had really underestimated Lao Qian before.
Originally I thought he was just a middleman in a county town in the northeast, but now it seems that Lao Qian is quite capable.
Su Niannian had overlooked something before. People who can own a truck in this era must have a certain background.
Moreover, the last transaction between Su Niannian and Lao Qian was for more than 6,000 yuan, which Lao Qian took out easily.
Although part of the more than 6,000 yuan was earned from the previous transaction with Su Niannian.
But that's also amazing.
The transaction between Su Niannian and Gao Yunshan was only over four thousand, but Gao Yunshan still had to borrow money from his friends.
From this point of view, Su Niannian looked at Lao Qian with a higher opinion.
Su Niannian smiled and said, "Then is the guesthouse you are staying in near Baicaotang?"
The biggest black market that Lao Qian mentioned is probably near Baicaotang.
"Yes, it's over there." Old Qian nodded.
"Then let's go over there." The few of them took another bus and went to Baicaotang.
Not far from getting off the bus, there is a guesthouse.
The guesthouse is very close to Baicaotang.
When the staff of the guesthouse saw the two men coming back with a little girl, they stopped the three of them and asked them some questions.
Hearing that they were a relative and could call out the name, the hotel staff let Su Niannian in.
But I still told them not to close the door.
It is understandable that in this era, men and women are strictly separated. Even though they are relatives, it is still not as convenient as in later generations.
The group of three went upstairs and entered the room. Su Niannian saw several bags of luggage in the room.
"Sister Su, please sit here!" Old Qian wiped the chair with a clean piece of clothing and motioned Su Niannian to sit down.
Su Niannian smiled and sat over.
Over there, Lu Hongliang had already poured a glass of water for Su Niannian from the guesthouse's water room.
Su Niannian also took it with a smile and said thank you.
Several people began to get to the point.
Although the door was open, there was no one walking in the corridor on this floor.
They spoke in low voices, not afraid of being heard by others.
If someone appears in the corridor, just keep quiet.
"If Sister Su is sure that she can provide me with food, vegetables and fruits like in Long County, I will notify some of my familiar brothers to come over and help me." Old Qian sat on the edge of the bed, rubbing his hands, and asked Su Niannian with a smile on his face.
Su Niannian nodded.
"Can!"
"I found a man selling rice in the black market over there and had a transaction with him. It wasn't a very pleasant one." Su Niannian said with a smile, pointing in a direction outside the window.
Lao Qian took a look and saw that the direction Su Niannian was pointing was the largest black market here.
"Are you selling rice in here?" If Lao Qian remembered correctly, one of the people who used to resell his rice was also in this black market.
What’s your last name?
While Lao Qian was still thinking, Su Niannian called out a name, "Gao Yunshan."
"Gao Yunshan..."
"I just heard it once, and I'm not sure if it's the name."
"I sold some of the rice I got from you to the local wealthy people. Later, the trading intervals were short, so I sold it in small quantities. The sales were slow, but I sold some of it directly to the city."
"People in the city saw the high quality of the rice and sold it to Shanghai and Beijing."
"I mentioned it once, but I didn't manage the account at that time." Old Qian told Su Niannian truthfully.
This is almost what Su Niannian expected.
Because the transactions between the middle and old money were indeed relatively close in time.
The price that Lao Qian gave himself was indeed not low. If he sold them in small quantities, he was afraid that the goods would become more and more piled up and he would not be able to make ends meet.
It is understandable that they can be sold in large quantities to the next buyer.
But in that case, the price will probably be cheaper than selling them separately, and the profit margin will be smaller.
Under such circumstances, Lao Qian took the initiative to raise his own price.
It can be seen that Lao Qian is a capable person.
When Old Qian saw Su Niannian's eyes were smiling and she didn't seem to mind at all, he finally felt relieved.
"Let's continue our previous business." Su Niannian gave an affirmative answer!
When Old Qian heard Su Niannian say this, he was so happy that he almost burst into laughter.
It's good to lean on a big tree for shade. Lao Qian made a lot of money during the period when he was trading with Su Niannian.
"Because it's in Beijing, I can raise the price a bit." Lao Qian continued.
"Okay!" Su Niannian would give Lao Qian a reasonable price.
Lao Qian said that it would take some time to notify his subordinates to come over, and he also needed to find some local people to help.
It would take a few days, Su Niannian nodded and said yes.
After the deal for grain, vegetables and fruits was finalized, Lu Hongliang over there became a little restless.
After all, Lao Qian's profitable business has been finalized, and Lu Hongliang also wants to pick up the braised meat business again like he did in Long County.
Lu Hongliang spoke up and told Su Niannian that he wanted to continue making braised meat.
Su Niannian shook her head.
Seeing this, Lu Hongliang was instantly discouraged.
But he didn't force anything. This business depended on Su Niannian. If Su Niannian disagreed, there was nothing he could do.
Seeing that the deal between the two had not been successful, Lao Qian patted the shoulder of Lu Hongliang, who was sitting next to him.
"You can follow me. I won't treat you unfairly. We are good brothers and we can make money together!" Lao Qian comforted Lu Hongliang.
"Yeah!" Lu Hongliang nodded and smiled.
But if you can set up your own business, who would want to work for others?
When Su Niannian saw the two of them like this, she knew that they had misunderstood her.
"When Brother Lu was in Long County, he was engaged in the pork trade, so he naturally had the connections to get pig offal."
"Right now in Jingshi, the control is actually stricter than in Long County. From what I understand, pork trading is quantitative. Judging from your situation just now in Jingshi, you may not be able to get a lot of pork offal."
Su Niannian said this with a smile, and Lao Qian and Lu Hongliang looked at each other. It seemed... that was the case.
