"Okay, stop flattering me! Is there anything over two pounds?"
"I got a rat snake, it weighs three pounds and six ounces, that should be enough!"
"Good job, little bastard!"
After smoking with Chen Yimin for a while, Ye Zhiqiu finally asked, "Director, I received a message that the fish ponds over at Sanlitun Commune are preparing to harvest fish and sell them to distribute the proceeds to the commune members! I wonder if our factory should purchase some fish?"
Chen Yimin thought for a moment, flicked off the ash from his cigarette, and then replied, "It's not that we can't collect fish. If there's not enough, we can give it to the workers as a snack. If there's too much, we can just give it away as welfare during the Mid-Autumn Festival!"
But regarding the purchase price, you must be honest and don't even think about raising the price. We can't break the rules!"
Upon learning that the factory could accept it, Ye Zhiqiu grinned and patted his chest, guaranteeing, "That's impossible! Everyone's purchasing price is 45 cents, and I'll definitely buy it at 45 cents too!"
Chen Yimin rolled his eyes at him and said, knowingly, "Who doesn't know what you're thinking? When you go shopping, don't bargain too hard. It's a shameful way to go after people, and it'll make you jealous!"
"Leader, I'm not that kind of person. I always follow the principle of 'good for you, good for me, good for everyone.' And this time, I only found out about this because they told me. Otherwise, who would have known they were planning to sell the fish?"
Chen Yimin waved his hand to dismiss him: "Alright, alright, you little rascal, take care of yourself! Anyway, if something really happens and they come to the factory to cause trouble, I'll send you to clean toilets!"
Ye Zhiqiu laughed and chatted for a few minutes before leaving Chen Yimin's office and walking back to his own office.
Seeing He Yongjun and Ma Banghua listlessly smoking, he leaned over and asked, "Hey, did you two knock on the widow's door last night? Why are you so listless today?"
He Yongjun handed over a peony, and after Ye Zhiqiu took it and lit it, he replied weakly, "Xiao Ye, you're the one wandering around all day, and you're the one having fun! Damn, we went to get some food yesterday, but we didn't have enough manpower, so we had to help load it ourselves!"
This is the first time I've done moving work in my life, and I'm exhausted. My entire body feels like it's falling apart, and the pain is excruciating! The problem is that I have to come back today to reconcile the accounts, and I can't even ask for leave!"
"That's right, I feel like my hips are strained, and it's hard to walk..."
So that's how it was. Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, brothers. It turns out you're serving the people! If you hadn't done any hard labor, you would have suffered a lot!"
He Yongjun asked, "Brother, how did you recover so quickly from injuries like this before?"
Ye Zhiqiu was stunned for a moment, then replied: "I don't know, I've never had a strain since I was a child!"
Ma Banghua said in disbelief, "Brother, didn't you say you just came from the countryside? You worked in the fields and harvest, so you must have done some portering before, right?"
So that's how it is! Ye Zhiqiu finally realized that they were asking this question because they thought they had done this kind of hard labor in the countryside!
Ye Zhiqiu spread his hands and said with a smile: "Hehe, I'm sorry to disappoint you two brothers. I have never suffered hardship since I was a child, and I have never done such hard work!"
Ye Zhiqiu then explained the situation at home. Although he had no memories of his original self, he knew that he had been at home all these years. After taking care of his younger brother until he grew up, it was his turn to take care of his newborn sister. He had never worked in the fields for a single day!
He Yongjun was extremely shocked when he heard this. He was at a loss whether to laugh or cry and said, "Damn it! Although I grew up in the city, I often went to help my grandpa with farm work. It seems that you, a country kid, have never done farm work. And I, a city kid, do more than you. It's really unfair!"
This is really laughable. They have opposite backgrounds, but their growth experiences are reversed!
Ye Zhiqiu had never thought that He Yongjun's growth experience was so rich! But it's not surprising when you think about it. There are so many villages close to the capital, and it's not uncommon for someone to marry into the city occasionally.
Ye Zhiqiu thought of the fish. He wanted to trade the fish in his space for some money!
Anyway, as for the fish pond in Sanlitun, once you collect the fish, you get the number you said.
However, if it was too much at once, the factory would definitely not be able to handle it, so he targeted He Yongjun and Ma Banghua. Both of them were related customers who were involved in planned purchases, proving that they had many connections.
Ye Zhiqiu took out a cigarette and refilled it for the two of them. After taking a puff, he asked in a low voice, "Two big brothers, I'm going to collect fish for the factory now. It's a fish pond in the commune. There may be a lot of fish. Do you have any way to help digest it? Let's drink some soup together!"
He Yongjun was immediately perked up when he heard this. He quickly asked, "Brother, how many fish can this pond produce? Can we get a price of less than 40 cents?"
Ma Banghua also hurriedly said: "Brother, you are right to come to us for this matter! My uncle and Lao He's uncle can help you digest one or two thousand kilograms of fish. But you have to find the right price. Otherwise, after all the hard work, it won't even be enough to buy a drink for everyone. That would be meaningless!"
Ye Zhiqiu was a little surprised. He didn't expect these two to work so well together! But when he thought about it carefully, these two guys were both doing jobs like purchasing agents. They must be neither high nor low, and they are just workers because they have no ability!
In this case, they must be quite short of money, so they took it so seriously when they heard about this.
However, Ye Zhiqiu was not prepared to pay too much. He mainly wanted to make some difference in price so that he could get some fish out of his space and make some money from an obvious source.
Although it was normal to buy at a low price and sell it to the factory at a high price, if I dragged these two people into it, they would have connections, so it would be safer and more reliable.
Ye Zhiqiu nodded and said, "I can get 40 cents per pound, but the quantity won't be much. I estimate it's about 1,000 to 2,000 pounds of fish. How much you can earn by selling them depends entirely on your ability!"
Even if the fish weighed two thousand kilograms, the two of them would only make a hundred dollars, not a penny much!
But the two of them are in a relationship now and are really short of money!
So He Yongjun said to Ye Zhiqiu, "Brother, if this is the commune's fish pond, there can't be only one or two thousand kilograms of fish, right? Why don't you take us there instead of sending them to the factory, and we can just buy them all together?"
Ma Banghua agreed and said, "That's right, let's split the money between the three of us! You're responsible for finding the fish ponds, and we're responsible for selling them and taking the money back to share. Isn't it better than selling to the factory? The factory's purchase price is fixed, and the place we sell it to can get a couple of cents above that!"
Ye Zhiqiu was a little amused and helpless. These two guys were really short of money!
"Brothers, have you ever thought about this? Without the factory's purchasing endorsement, can anyone sell fish to us? Wouldn't that be speculation? Who would dare to sell fish to us?"
