The prosperous era of courtyard houses

Chapter 34, another deal

Li Weiguo still admires Lao Fu. He is a good businessman and knows how much he weighs, so he won't have any inappropriate thoughts.

Seeing the old man counting money happily, Li Weiguo thought for a moment and said to him: "You usually make money by reselling tickets?"

"Well, it's better to barely make ends meet than to work in a factory. In other words, meeting you, Mr. Li, in normal times, it would only be thirty or forty in a month." The old man scratched his head and said sheepishly.

Li Weiguo nodded, then looked into his eyes and said, "I have a deal, do you dare to do it?"

Seeing Li Weiguo's serious look, the old man said doubtfully: "Master Li, please give me some advice."

"A batch of pork weighs 500 kilograms and stick noodles weighs 2000 kilograms. Do you dare to make it?"

Hearing this, Lao Fu's eyes popped out.

I didn't expect it to be such a big deal. Now that the famine in the countryside has affected the cities, it is difficult to buy all kinds of food from the pigeon market. I didn't expect that Li Weiguo could come up with such a large amount of supplies.

I immediately felt a lot of respect in my heart. Anyone who can do such a big business has a profound background and the care of a big boss. Why not do it?

So, he gritted his teeth and said, "Master Li, thank you for your care. I don't know how to do this business?"

Li Weiguo nodded appreciatively and said: "Now the price on the black market, free of charge for pork, has risen to 1.7 yuan/catty, and stick noodles 0.17 yuan/catty. Maybe you have noticed in recent days that food is becoming more and more scarce, and prices have risen. Quite a few.

I give you 1.5 yuan/jin for pork and 0.15 yuan/jin for stick noodles. As for how much you can sell, I don't care. Pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand. Cash is also acceptable, gold is also acceptable, and old objects are also acceptable. "

Hearing this, the old man thought about it in his heart. If he sells these things according to the market price, he can earn at least 140 yuan.

You can earn 140 yuan with one vote, which is equivalent to working for 5 months compared to others.

This business is done!

Without hesitation, he nodded immediately and said: "Okay. Thank you Mr. Li for taking care of me. This is a small business. I don't know how to trade?"

"The things are already here in the ghost market. You just need to bring money, manpower and vehicles to pick up the goods with me."

"Okay, Mr. Li, wait here while I look for the manpower and the car." The old man nodded.

After saying that, he quickly left to find manned vehicles. About half an hour later, the old man brought four people back and two carts.

Li Weiguo took a look at the people brought by the old man. There were two middle-aged men in their thirties and nearly forty, and two young men aged fourteen or fifteen. They looked like a family at first glance.

They nodded to each other, said hello, and then led them outside the ghost market.

After walking for almost a kilometer, they came to the edge of a remote grove. Li Weiguo said to Lao Fu: "You guys wait here, I'll go over and say hello."

The old man nodded to indicate he understood.

With that said, Li Weiguo got into the woods.

He found a dark corner, and with a wave of his hand when no one was around, he released all the 500 kilograms of pork and 2000 kilograms of stick noodles packed in the space.

On the other side, Lao Fu’s family of five.

Lao Fu's eldest son looked around uneasily and said, "Dad, there will be no problem. This is a deserted place, just in case the other party has bad intentions."

The old man was also a little nervous. After all, he had eight or nine hundred yuan worth of belongings on him.

Taking a deep breath, he said: "Probably not. The old man has lived for so many years and has seen a lot of people. He has never passed by. I usually do business with this man and give him tickets worth hundreds of dollars. If you don’t even count, you don’t care about this thing at all, don’t worry.”

After a while, Li Weiguo came out of the woods and said to Lao Fu: "If the car can't get in, just leave it here and you follow me in."

Leading Lao Fu and his family to the supplies in the woods, Li Weiguo shined his flashlight on the supplies and said to Lao Fu and his family: "Go over and check the quantity and weight. There are 100 kilograms of pork in one basket, a total of 5 baskets, and stick noodles. 100 catties/bag, 20 bags in total.”

The old man followed the light and looked there. There were about 20 sacks on the ground. They were piled up in a pile. It was unclear whether the sacks were good or bad without opening them.

But the five baskets of pork were clearly visible. They were all fat, semi-fat and lean meat.

This pile of pork almost made the family's eyes dizzy. Their monthly pork ration was only 4 taels per person. How had they ever seen so much pork.

I've seen it at the meat stall in the wet market, but it has nothing to do with them.

The old man calmed down and said to his two sons: "Hurry and check the quality and quantity."

His two sons heard this and ran over quickly.

The eldest son first grabbed a piece of pork from the basket, looked at it, smelled it, and nodded to confirm that it was fresh meat.

He rummaged through the pieces of meat under the basket, and then checked several other baskets in order to see if they were fresh. After checking one by one, he happily said to the old man: "Dad, it's all good meat, fresh."

The old man nodded with relief this time and looked towards his second son again.

The second brother took out an iron probe, stuck it into the middle of the sack, held the hole with his hand, and then pulled out the probe, and a handful of stick noodles came out.

He held it in his hand, smelled it, tasted it, made sure it was okay, and then checked all the sacks one by one.

After confirming that there was no problem, he said to the old man: "Dad, there is no problem with the food. I tried to lift it, and each bag weighed about 100 kilograms."

Both sons confirmed that they were correct, and he was also watching, feeling relieved.

So he raised his hands and said to Li Weiguo: "Master Li, thank you for taking care of me. Everything has been confirmed."

As he spoke, he took out a cloth bag from his arms and opened it, which turned out to be five small yellow croakers.

Li Weiguo took the small cloth bag, picked up the small yellow croaker and looked at it. It was slightly thinner than his little finger, and the words "Shanghai Central Mint, 35th Year of the Republic of China" were printed on it.

This kind of small yellow croaker weighs 31.25 grams. The bank's recycling price is 200 yuan per piece, and the contract price is 6.45 yuan per gram, but private transactions may be higher.

This batch of pork is 500 kilograms, 1.5/jin, 750 yuan;

2000 kilograms of stick noodles, 0.15/jin, 300 yuan, total 1050 yuan.

The old man took out another 50 yuan from his pocket, handed it to Li Weiguo, and said: "Master Li, the bank's purchase price for small yellow croakers is 200 per piece. Let's pay 200 yuan for a total of five pieces. I will pay you another 50 yuan."

Li Weiguo nodded in agreement, took the money, didn't count it, put it in his arms along with the gold bars, and then directly put his mind into the space.

Then he said: "Master Fu, there will be a batch of supplies every week from now on. The quantity will only be more than this, not less than this. If you want to do this business for a long time, be prepared to find a safe and private house."

"Okay, Mr. Li, I understand. I will find a house later, safety first." Old Fu quickly nodded in agreement. With these transactions as the basis, he was already convinced that Li Weiguo had a big heel.

"Okay, how much food can you eat next week?" Li Weiguo asked.

The old man thought for a while and said proudly: "Master Li, I am not bragging to you. I can eat as much as you have."

"."

It seems that I have a lot of money to help the old and the young, and my tone is so loud.

Knowing that Li Weiguo might question, the old man explained: "Master Li, we old people and young people still have some wealth. We used to live a good life, but now we want to eat good food, but we can't buy anything.

Let alone hundreds of kilograms of meat and thousands of kilograms of grain, we can digest it for you even if it is thousands of kilograms of meat or tens of thousands of kilograms of grain. "

Li Weiguo has no doubts about the spending power of this group of old people and young people. Anyone with a bit of history in their ancestors has some wealth, but the general environment is like this, and you can't buy good things even if you have money.

"I don't doubt it, but you'd better be more careful when reselling it, so as not to leave yourself in trouble."

"Don't worry, Mr. Li, I'll save it."

"The next transaction should be the same as this time. You can use gold and old objects to offset the account, and make up the difference in cash.

I prefer old objects. If any of you, young or old, are willing to sell your old objects if the price is right, you can help me collect them and I will settle the bill with you later. "

"Okay, Mr. Li, don't worry. I'll give you more attention, little old man. I'll bring you the old thing next time I receive it."

After nodding and explaining a few more words to him, Li Weiguo left directly.

After Li Weiguo left, Lao Fu's second son said: "Dad, what is the background of this Mr. Li, so generous?"

"It doesn't matter who they are, we can't afford to offend them anyway. Hurry up and load the car. It's already past four o'clock, and it will be dawn soon."

After looking at the sky, the old man quickly urged his son and grandson to load the goods into the truck and leave.
