764: When can I get the goods?
Yu Xiaoye asked Shao Xia to discuss with Brother Lei, saying that there were still 1,000 kilograms of fish and 100 kilograms of prawns here. If Brother Lei agreed to find a buyer, he would give the 1,100 kilograms of fish and prawns to Brother Lei.
If Brother Lei doesn't agree, then there's no need to talk about it anymore.
But it is still payment first, then delivery.
Fish is 50 cents per pound, and shrimp is a little more expensive, one dollar per pound, for a total of 600 yuan.
After understanding Yu Xiaoye's idea, Shao Xia went to see Brother Lei again with a nervous mood to see if Brother Lei agreed to the deal.
When Brother Lei heard that there were still 1,000 kilograms of fish and 100 kilograms of shrimp, his eyes immediately lit up.
But when he heard that he was not allowed to sell the goods in person, he was confused:
"What do you mean? Why don't I understand?"
"The meaning is very simple. It means taking more money from you. My friend gives it to me, I give it to you, and you give it to someone else, letting them take over. But the money is still paid by you first, and then you ask others for money."
Lei Ge sighed ignorantly:
"Oh my god, why is your friend so complicated? Does he have more twists and turns than other people?"
Shao Xia: “--------” Not only is his intestines more complicated than others, his brain is also not that of an ordinary person.
"Tell your friend to rest assured. I've done business with him twice, and I already consider him my closest friend. I will never betray him. Even if you throw me in jail and torture me, I will never betray you or your friend. Tell him to just hand over the goods to me without worry!"
Shao Xia saw that Brother Lei had completely taken the bait, and now it was their turn to make the final decision, so she deliberately put on a helpless look:
"Brother Lei, I can't do anything about it. My friend is a man of his word. It's useless for you to say anything more. How about we do it next time?"
Shao Xia pretended to leave, but Lei Ge quickly stopped her:
“No, no, no—”
"Brother Lei, do you agree?"
Brother Lei scratched his head and looked depressed. He didn't want to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make money, but he also didn't want others to share his profits.
It’s so fucking difficult!
Seeing that Brother Lei was still struggling, Shao Xia took the opportunity to tell Brother Lei what Yu Xiaoye said:
"Brother Lei, my friend told me that if you're willing to do this, there will be more supply for you in the future. You won't have to take the risk of selling it yourself. You can just resell it once and make a lot of money easily, definitely more than you're making now. My friend sells it to you for 50 cents, and you resell it for 70 cents, and people are still vying for it. You're just responsible for helping to act as a middleman, and you can make 20 cents out of thin air. Isn't it easier than taking the risk of selling it individually?"
This point really touched Brother Lei's heart.
To be honest, fifty cents is indeed the wholesale price for that batch of goods, and you can't find such a good source of goods at this price anywhere else.
Put it in his hand, add two or three cents, sell it to another middleman for seven or eight cents, and there will definitely be someone who wants it.
Moreover, this batch of fish has now entered the market and is selling very well. Other middlemen must be jealous.
Reselling these goods to others is a good way to make money.
Otherwise, over time, if someone becomes jealous of his business and destroys his job, it's no big deal, but he should not be tricked again.
He has been jealous of the money he has made these days, but now that he has calmed down and thought about it, he feels that it is time to change the way he makes money.
Anyway, no matter what, Brother Lei doesn't want to give up Shao Xia's approach now. The source of goods is in her hands, so he can only willingly let her lead him by the nose.
Brother Lei, who has always been shrewd, made a painful decision this time:
"Okay, just do as your friend says!"
Shao Xia tried hard to suppress the upward curve of her lips:
"Okay, Brother Lei, it's settled then. My friend said that if you keep your word, all his future business in Beijing will go through you. But if you don't keep your promise, then this will be a one-time deal, and there won't be a next time."
"I understand. You can reassure your friend. I told you to give this batch of goods to others and I will definitely not keep it for myself!"
Seeing Brother Lei's solemn promise, Shao Xia felt relieved.
Shao Xia was about to leave, and Brother Lei said he would contact someone right away and asked Shao Xia to come back in two hours.
After Shao Xia left, Brother Lei went to find a black market boss in the west of the capital. He was bigger than him and had connections and a background in the public security department. He was called Ban Ye, but you couldn't call him that to his face. You had to call him Ban Daye.
When Lei Ge met Ban Ye, he said to him nervously:
"Uncle Ban, my friend asked me to sell a batch of fish. Do you want to buy it? I want to help you."
Without even raising his eyelids, Mr. Ban said leisurely:
"What kind of fish are you talking about? I have fish weighing tens or hundreds of kilograms, so don't come to me."
"One thousand pounds, is that enough?"
Ban Ye paused in serving the tea.
Seeing that Ban Ye was interested, Lei Ge continued:
"This batch of fish is fresh and large. Each fish weighs nearly ten kilograms. You've never seen such large fish in the capital!"
Ban Ye's drooping eyelids finally opened a little, and a glimmer of light flashed in his cloudy old eyes:
"Are you saying that those big fish sold in the market these past two days are yours?"
Brother Lei was more confident when he saw that Mr. Ban already knew that the fish was in great demand:
"Actually, it was my friend who asked me to sell them, but now, the limelight is too great. You know I'm just a small-time guy, not that capable, and I'm afraid of losing money. Only someone like you, Master, can handle so much. So, Master, if you want that batch of goods, I'll contact my friend and sell it to you for only 80 cents. How about that?"
Anyone would be suspicious of business that comes to their door.
What's more, he is an old fox like Ban Ye:
"Such a profitable business, why would you give it to me for no reason?"
Lei Ge smiled bitterly:
"Uncle, I'll tell you the truth. I don't want to do this either. I also want to take the goods and sell them myself, but my boss is a cautious person. He knows that I have traded on the black market twice and is afraid of arousing suspicion and exposing him, so he no longer sells them to me.
Sell it to me, I thought since you won't sell it to me, why don't I do you a favor and play a role for you, so that I can get closer to you, right? Of course, I will definitely make a small profit in the middle, but the biggest share will still be with you. This fish is very popular in the market now, and it will definitely be easy to sell if you take it out -"
"Okay, I get it," Ban Ye interrupted Lei Ge and put down the tea bowl. "Tell me, when can I get the goods?"
"today!"
"Okay, deal."
Brother Lei didn't expect the deal to go so smoothly, so within an hour, he replied to Shao Xia, saying that he had found the next buyer.
Brother Lei also followed the method of Shao Xia's friend and asked Ban Ye for some money as a deposit.
Then he combined the money he had earned and paid Shao Xia a full six hundred yuan.
After several business trials, Shao Xia has gradually become bolder and no longer has the initial excitement.
But the feeling of holding a thick stack of money is still very different.
