Chapter 117: Borrowing Flowers to Offer to Buddha
Fish and loaches cannot leave the water for a long time, and there must be sufficient oxygen in the water, so Brother Hong contacted the buyers in advance before he dared to come and pick up the goods.
The 17,000-jin fish fry had grown to 80,000 jin in 450 mu of land after more than five months! The loach had also grown from 2,500 jin to 40,000 jin by farmers!
Apart from the initial cost of purchasing fish and loach fry, the villagers took good care of them afterwards, and the children also caught insects to feed them. Together with the grass and whole-grain cakes, it was not considered extra investment in everyone's eyes.
With so many fish and loaches, Brother Hong was tired but happy to carry them back and forth. He drove his car with a note in his hand, bypassing the supply and marketing cooperatives, and went to the canteens and state-owned restaurants of all the big units in the province. It took him half a month to sell all the 120,000 kilograms of products in batches.
He then went on to sell 220 tons of watermelons within a week.
When he came again, he went straight to the commune, signed a contract with An Zhixia, and settled the payment.
Since the agricultural and sideline products factory opened, everyone has been busy, and only An Zhixia is watching. After signing the contract with the president as a witness, Brother Hong winked at An Zhixia and said loudly: "Director An, can you show me your chicken farm? I just drove here, so I'll take a truckload of live chickens back to sell. When the road is open, I'll have the guys drive here every day to buy in."
An Zhixia smiled and nodded, then got in Brother Hong's car and headed to the farm.
"We've done such a big deal, so I'll shamelessly call you Sister Zhixia," Brother Hong didn't bring his younger brother this time. He smiled as he drove the car and said, "I know that you and Brother Fang are the main investors in the fry money this time. You plan to use 50% of the profits as technical stocks, and you only want to use them for one year? You're too honest. If I'm not mistaken, you're giving me all the deals. Are you planning to prepare for your return to the city?"
An Zhixia raised her eyebrows and said depressedly, "Is my action so obvious? How come everyone guessed it?"
"Sister, you are selfless and serve the people, so you feel that the money is too much, or is it because the accounts are too transparent and you can't get it?" Brother Hong asked directly. "You can extract a lot of profits just by investing in technology, so why are you so stupid as to only spend one year's capital?"
"I have so much money now but nowhere to spend it," An Zhixia shrugged. There were few houses to sell, and no sports cars or jewelry to buy, so money was just a number to her.
"Are you stupid? Money can be exchanged for yellow croaker in coastal areas to maintain its value. According to the development level of our country, within 20 years, you will definitely not have enough money to spend," Brother Hong said meaningfully.
An Zhixia looked at him in surprise. Could it be that he was also a time traveler? How did he know?
"The coastal areas are developing rapidly, and who doesn't want to live a good life? There will definitely be a wind that will blow all over the country. This is the truth I have explored over the past decade. Trust me, I guarantee you won't suffer a loss," Brother Hong imparted his experience with all his heart, and then returned to the topic: "I'm not going to lie to you, because these are fish and loaches raised in rice fields, and I spent a lot of effort to praise them to the sky before I sold them at 80 cents for the fish and 1.5 yuan for the loach.
Fortunately, the fish and loaches tasted really good, and the 120,000 kilograms were sold out quickly, making a profit of 124,000 yuan!
The watermelons grown in your village are good, although they only weigh three or four pounds, but the supply of fruits in our province has always been in short supply, so we privately spread them to more than 40 cities and subordinate counties and towns throughout the province, with a unified price of one yuan per pound. A watermelon costs three or four yuan, and those who have enough money will buy it after gritting their teeth, so the watermelons are still sold quickly, and they are gone in half a month, earning 450,000 yuan!
I regretted selling the fish and loaches directly to the company canteen because they are difficult to store. But we have learned from our experience and will definitely not do the same thing next year.
"Sister, I'm going to offer 40 cents for fish, 1 yuan for loach, and 10 cents for watermelon. What do you think? We take a big risk in this business. You won't get such a good price anywhere else!"
An Zhixia nodded. "I believe what Brother Hong said. This is already a high price for the members of the commune. Of course, if they are lazy and the quality drops in the future, you don't have to be polite. This is business, I understand."
Brother Hong smiled with satisfaction and continued, "According to this price, I should pay 32,000 yuan for the fish, 40,000 yuan for the loach, and 45,000 yuan for the watermelon, a total of 117,000 yuan. There is 120,000 yuan in the passbook, and 3,000 yuan is the deposit for next year."
"To be honest, you saw that my brother made more than 400,000 yuan this time, but he has someone protecting him, so he has to take 40% of the profits. He also has a group of younger brothers waiting to support their families. He has to spend money on every link, and he also has to invest in buying trucks for the business. It's good if he can make 30,000 or 50,000 yuan.
But seeing that Zhixia brought such a big business to me, I can't treat her badly. Here, this 20,000 is my thanks to you for your generosity. You don't have to feel any burden. If I didn't take the lead, I might not be able to earn this much in a month even if I spent 50,000 or 100,000.
I will pay the payment for the goods from Wuqi Commune on time, but I will also ask someone to send 10% of the payment to you." Brother Hong threw a heavy package to An Zhixia.
An Zhixia opened it, and inside were neatly arranged big unity bills, one hundred in a stack, twenty in total! She raised her eyebrows: "Brother Hong, what do you mean by this? You said I'm stupid, but aren't you stupid too? How can anyone take the initiative to send money out?"
Brother Hong smiled and said, "I'm not giving you money. I just can't bear to see you, so I'm giving you 10% of the profits of Wuqi Commune. This is called borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha. I believe that my sister is a talent wherever she goes, and she can definitely introduce new business to me."
"Is Jiangzhou Province too small? Brother Hong wants to develop in other provinces?" An Zhixia lowered her eyes, tapped the big unity with her fingers and asked with a chuckle. With a business bringing in hundreds of thousands a month, it's no wonder that she was targeted. And with the breeding farm, Brother Hong still has a large sum of money coming in every month. "Brother Hong, please think carefully. Giving me 20,000 yuan may be a waste. Besides, I don't have any way to return to the city. Maybe I have to ask you, Brother Hong, to find out and smooth things over.
When I arrived in Kyoto, as an ordinary lesbian, I couldn’t make much of a splash. There was no stage like the Five Flags Commune for me to perform.”
"Look at what you said, sister. I've given you the money, and I don't plan to take it back. I've said it many times, this money is the profit I'm willing to give to you, to give you face. Tell me about returning to the city, I'll help you find out. I can't say it's 100% certain, but it's almost certain. You just wait for news at home. But if you refuse this money again, you'll be shy and not generous. Take it!"
