Chapter 62 What we want is a steady and long-lasting flow
This account is not difficult to calculate.
Lu Hongliang can sell 100 to 200 kilograms of pork a day and make 8 cents to 1.2 cents per kilogram, but the profit is not fixed.
Even if he calculated it all, Lu Hongliang could only earn a dozen yuan a day, which was considered a lot.
Now, he bought these 600 kilograms of pig offal for 36 yuan, and today he spent 28 yuan to buy an iron pot and a basin.
But pots and pans are one-time investments and you don’t need to buy them every day.
If you don’t count the kitchen utensils, the net profit today is one hundred and sixty-four dollars.
He planned to give five dollars a day to each of his three brothers, which would be one hundred and fifty dollars a month.
He planned to give 50 yuan per month to each of his two sisters-in-law and his mother.
After all, workers' wages in this era were only a few dozen yuan a month.
They only need to work three hours a day and can earn the salary of two workers in a month, which is really a lot.
This was all discussed in advance.
The three brothers not only had to help process the pig offal at home, but also had to help sell the goods outside.
One hundred and fifty dollars a month was the highest price one could pay.
Naturally, the three brothers were very happy about it.
If it weren't for Lu Hongliang's business, how could they earn 150 yuan a month?
One hundred and fifty a month, I wouldn't even dare to think of this in my dreams, and no one would believe it if I told them.
In today's environment, being able to support a family and eat meat every now and then is something that others envy.
Apart from these, Lu Hongliang made a net profit of more than 140 yuan a day.
That’s one hundred and forty dollars a day.
Lu Hongliang earned in one day what other workers earn in half a year, and his mouth was almost stretched to his ears.
Regarding meeting Su Niannian, Lu Hongliang just felt that he was extremely lucky.
Lu Hongliang handed the three hundred yuan he had prepared long ago to Su Niannian, and Su Niannian counted it out in front of him.
"Big sister, I think we can increase the daily sales volume." Lu Hongliang felt that 500 kilograms was not enough to sell.
It feels like there is a shortage of supply.
"Brother Lu, it's not that I don't want to make money, but there is too much offal in this braised pork. It will be a problem for you to purchase it. The output of offal in the pig farm should not be too high."
"Besides, given the salary level of workers in the county, they probably wouldn't be willing to buy braised pork offal at one yuan a pound every day."
"Although making money is good, we also need to consider the current environment. If we take too big a step, it is easy to run into problems. What do you think?"
It’s not that Su Niannian doesn’t want to make money, but she is afraid that the market will be saturated. Besides, at one dollar per pound, not everyone can afford it.
After hearing what Su Niannian said, Lu Hongliang's eyes rolled around. It was indeed the case.
A pig can only produce about 30 to 40 kilograms of offal. The pig farm in the county town is actually not small. Pork was also sent to the city.
But according to Lu Hongliang, only about ten to twenty pigs can be slaughtered a day.
Even if he wanted to buy more pig offal, he was afraid that the pig farm would not have that much pig offal to sell.
Moreover, although the braised pork offal is delicious, not many families would be willing to spend one dollar per pound to buy it every day.
It's okay to buy it once in a while and eat it to satisfy your craving.
If the market is really expanded, it will become saturated very quickly.
This is not as good as the little girl said, a steady and long-lasting stream.
"You are the smart one. I just want to make more money." Lu Hongliang scratched his head embarrassedly.
Su Niannian smiled and handed the backpack to Lu Hongliang.
As soon as Lu Hongliang got it in his hand, he felt it was heavy.
I thought to myself, this little girl looks thin and weak but she is actually very strong. This basket must weigh about 40 to 50 kilograms.
"There are thirty bottles of sauce and thirty packets of seasoning here, enough for three days."
"I will come to deliver seasonings and sauces once every three days." This was Su Niannian's original plan. If the cooperation goes smoothly in the future, Su Niannian plans to deliver seasonings once every five days or a week.
"Okay, then I'll pay you in three days." Lu Hongliang naturally had no objection.
Su Niannian cooperates with me because she really trusts me fully.
Moreover, this business is done with passion and motivation.
The money coming into the account every day is pure cash.
If he continued to do this, he felt that good days would not be far away for his family.
"By the way, big sister, I have already contacted someone to purchase the food and vegetables you mentioned."
"If the quality is really good, he said we can add some money. It's okay to charge higher than the market price. The main thing is that there are really such large quantities." Lu Hongliang handed the seasoning to the brother at the pork stall, rubbed his palms, and said to Su Niannian.
"Well, there is still enough. We can go check out the food and vegetables now."
"That's great, I'll call Lao Qian over right away."
After a while, Lu Hongliang brought out a middle-aged man from a corner alley in the black market.
The middle-aged man looked a little fat, with a big belly and less hair, but he looked quite naive when he smiled.
Lao Qian is considered a veteran in the black market. He has some connections in both the black and white worlds, so naturally his business is bigger.
He has a lot of younger brothers working for him, and he is a generous person. They are also old acquaintances of Lu Hongliang.
Lu Hongliang introduced Su Niannian to him, which was a win-win situation for both parties.
Lao Qian can afford the price, and Su Niannian provides a large amount of goods to help Lao Qian gain more market share.
With Lao Qian's connections, he will be able to expand his business without the constraints that ordinary people have.
"The girl is so young." Old Qian had heard from Lu Hongliang that the girl who was going to sell grain and vegetables was a little girl, but he didn't expect that she was so young.
He looks no more than eighteen or nineteen years old.
At this point, Lao Qian was a little hesitant. Could such a young girl really have as many goods as she said?
"Just call him Lao Qian like I do." Lu Hongliang glared at Lao Qian.
"Wouldn't that be impolite?"
Su Niannian has a nice voice, but Lao Qian doesn’t care whether she is polite or not.
In their line of work, as long as they can make money, they don't care at all about the title.
"Just call me Lao Qian."
"Well, okay, then we can go and take a look at the goods now." Su Niannian didn't think too much about it, it was just a name.
Moreover, Su Niannian herself felt that calling him Uncle Qian seemed too close.
Although Lao Qian felt that Su Niannian was a little young, because of Lu Hongliang's introduction, Lao Qian still prepared a truck in advance.
Being able to get a truck in a place like the county town shows that Lao Qian is also a powerful black market dealer.
Following Su Niannian's directions, a truck stopped outside the house that Su Niannian rented.
