756: Earn a small goal first
Shao Xia knew that Yu Xiaoye was a smart and quick-witted man, but how long had he just arrived in the capital and he already had a way to make a fortune?
She was a little bit unconvinced, but still asked:
"What's your way to get rich?"
Yu Xiaoye has been trying to find a reliable local person as a business partner these days, but she hasn't found one. The people she knows in Beijing are either too busy at work to work, or have connections with Zhou Ziheng and cannot be used.
I never expected to meet Shao Xia at this time!
In fact, Shao Xia is really suitable!
He is a local, reliable, and has almost no intersection with Zhou Ziheng. No matter from which aspect, he is the best candidate, no doubt about it!
Yu Xiaoye pulled Shao Xia and said:
"What do you think, if we could get some fish and shrimp to sell?"
"Fish and shrimp? Of course they're good, but the river is frozen in this weather. Are you going to cut through the ice and fish? Even if you can endure the freezing cold, will the manager let you go out and endure this hardship? Xiaoye, you're not short of money, are you?"
"Don't worry about how I get the fish, don't worry about the farm manager, and don't worry about whether I need money. I just want to ask you, if I can get a lot of fish and shrimp, can you help me find a market, or find someone who can help me sell them?"
“——” Shao Xia still looked confused.
Yu Xiaoye looked at Shao Xia's innocent face and knew that it might not be easy to get a law-abiding young girl to engage in arbitrage. She quietly pulled Shao Xia up:
"Come on, let's go out and talk."
Shao Xia put down the work in her hands, put on a scarf and went out with Yu Xiaoye.
The two walked on the cold campus. Yu Xiaoye told Shao Xia about her plan. She said she had a batch of fish and shrimp and asked Shao Xia if she knew anyone on the black market or a middleman who could sell these fish and shrimp.
When the time comes, the money earned will be divided into 20:80, Shao Xia 20% and Yu Xiaoye 80%.
As long as you can find a market, it will definitely make more money than working hard to paste paper boxes at home.
Who knows, you might even make a small fortune.
With money, wouldn’t it be nice to buy some things for your home, buy new clothes for everyone in the family, and buy some New Year’s goods to have a prosperous New Year?
Yu Xiaoye drew a golden, fragrant and round pancake for Shao Xia. Shao Xia knew that Yu Xiaoye might be fooling her, but she couldn't resist the temptation of the pancake and was tempted!
It’s mainly because of Yu Xiaoye’s passion and enthusiasm, as if he can really earn a few hundred dollars.
"How much fish and shrimp do you have?"
"A lot." Yu Xiaoye gave a very vague concept.
"How much is a lot? About a hundred pounds?" Shao Xia made a bold guess.
"Much more than a hundred pounds—"
Shao Xia took a deep breath:
“Where did you get so much?”
"Don't worry about that for now. I have my own way of getting what I want. But don't worry, I didn't steal or rob anyone, and I definitely don't owe anyone anything. But there's a condition. I only supply the goods and collect the money, and I won't show up in person. I'll give you the goods, and you can find someone to sell them to. How about it, are you in?"
Shao Xia felt that this was a big deal, but she didn't have the courage to do such a big thing at the moment.
If it was only ten or eight kilograms, she would sell it off immediately because she had dealt with middlemen before.
In the past, if the family had unused tickets such as tea tickets and cigarette tickets, or extra food tickets, they would secretly find acquaintances to sell them in exchange for money or other things.
But these are small deals worth a few cents.
But what Yu Xiaoye said was more than 100 kilograms of fish and shrimp, which is not a small number.
She had never done anything this big before and wasn't sure if it would work.
Seeing that Shao Xia wanted to do it but didn't dare to do it, Yu Xiaoye advised again:
"It's actually very simple. You just need to find someone reliable. We'll just be suppliers, so there's no need to show up in public to sell them. Chinese New Year is coming soon, and I think these fish and shrimp will sell very well and they'll be sold out quickly."
“——” Shao Xia was still hesitating.
Yu Xiaoye was anxious:
"Wouldn't it be nice to earn money and have a good year for the whole family? And let your mom and sister have a good rest for a few days? Isn't that better than staying up all night pasting paper boxes?"
A beautiful scene flashed before Shao Xia's eyes:
Eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks, let mom and sister rest for a few days, no longer have to get up early and stay up late to paste paper boxes!
Shao Xia gritted her teeth:
"Okay, I'll do it!"
A gust of cold wind blew, and Shao Xia's mind cleared up a little. She said:
"I don't expect to eat and drink the finest food, but if I can earn a few dollars, my mom, sister and I can have a good New Year."
Yu Xiaoye smiled and breathed a sigh of relief:
"Ten or eight dollars, right? A small goal! For our first transaction, let's earn a small goal first!"
Shao Xia looked at Yu Xiaoye's confident look, but still felt that this matter seemed a bit unreliable.
However, since Yu Xiaoye kept instigating her, Shao Xia had no choice but to do as she wished.
The two walked in the cold wind and discussed something. Shao Xia said that she knew a man named Brother Lei, who had many connections and knew many people. Usually, if anyone had anything to buy or sell, they would contact him.
On the surface, he was helping, but in fact, he was taking advantage of both sides and was a middleman in disguise.
Shao Xia had some unused bills in her hands, so she sold them to this Brother Lei.
Yu Xiaoye heard about Brother Lei's situation and thought he could give it a try first.
"Well, go find this Brother Lei first and talk to him. I have a hundred pounds of fish. Ask him if he wants it. If he does, give him a hundred pounds. I only want fifty cents per pound. I guarantee it's fresh."
"Xiao Ye, are you sure you really have a hundred kilograms of fish?"
"Sure!"
Shao Xia decided to trust Yu Xiaoye for once:
"Okay, I'll go find this Brother Lei and give it a try!"
Shao Xia did not go home, but took Yu Xiaoye to find Brother Lei.
Yu Xiaoye did not show up. She asked Shao Xia to go see Brother Lei alone, and she stayed outside.
Waiting.
After more than ten minutes, Shao Xia came out from Brother Lei and said that Brother Lei was willing to take the 100 kilograms of fish and agreed to deliver it the next morning.
After agreeing to Brother Lei, Shao Xia felt a little worried:
"Xiao Ye, are you sure you can really get 100 kilograms of fish? If something goes wrong and I can't deliver the 100 kilograms of fish, I'm afraid Brother Lei will find trouble with me in the future, and I won't be able to explain myself."
"Don't worry, I'll bring the fish to you the next day. Just wait for the delicious food and spicy drinks!"
Shao Xia couldn't help laughing. She felt that although Yu Xiaoye sometimes talked nonsense, he did have some extraordinary abilities.
Although Shao Xia didn't know where the 100 kilograms of fish came from, she guessed that it might have something to do with the army.
Maybe the goods leaked out from the army and were given to Yu Xiaoye, asking Yu Xiaoye to help sell them?
Thinking of this, Shao Xia felt a little nervous, fearing that she would be the one to be investigated one day.
But no matter what, the first deal has been done. There is no point in worrying about it anymore. Let's see what happens the next day.
After finalizing the first deal, Yu Xiaoye left.
Shao Xia returned home and continued to make paper boxes with her mother and sister to earn money for the trip back home for the New Year.
