Return To 1977 Chapter 169: Compared to printing money

Hong Yanwu's judgment once again convinced "Lao Dayu".

He never expected that Hong Yanwu would sell out these sixty kilograms of sea cucumbers for almost a month on his own in less than a day.

Hong Yanwu still used the old method, but he opened the door in broad daylight and put the bag containing sea cucumbers at the door, and someone came to the door to give money.

And what is unexpected is that even the manager of the guest house, after accidentally learning the news from the guests, came to ask for help from Hong Yanwu, the "powerful" "Beijing Second Commercial Bureau" "The buyer" gave him several kilograms of sea cucumbers at a low price.

Of course Hong Yanwu couldn't refuse, so he generously sold the manager five kilograms and thirty heads of sea cucumbers at the purchase price of 40 cents each.

The manager was so happy that he couldn't thank him enough. He kept praising the people of Beijing for being generous and righteous. After hearing that Hong Yanwu and the others planned to stay here for six days, they actually wrote a note with a stroke of a pen and decided to waive the room fee for Hong Yanwu and the others.

Of course, the invoice must be issued accordingly, otherwise Hong Yanwu will not be able to reimburse him when he goes back, and he will not be able to take advantage of the government. However, the manager's consideration was completely unnecessary, because he didn't know that Hong Yanwu was reimbursing himself, and the waived room fee was directly a benefit in his hands.

So, after all this calculation, Hong Yanwu and the others did not lose money on this business, and a sea cucumber was still sold for 80 cents.

It's just this matter that makes "Old Sabryfish" feel very confused. He couldn't figure it out. The guest house manager was obviously a local from Bincheng. Why didn't he go to the market to buy sea cucumbers? The sea cucumbers there are even cheaper, so why go through this detour by asking for favors.

For this reason, Hong Yanwu made another inference of his own.

First of all, he believed that information in this era is still too limited. After all, not all Bincheng people know about the private transactions at the market gate. Even though everyone knows that such private sales can be done there, most people are disciplined people. How many people dare to buy supplies from private hands? You know, once caught, both the buyer and the seller will be punished.

In addition, most of the people who visit the market are housewives or the elderly who are responsible for buying food and cooking. There are only a few men working, let alone powerful bosses like guesthouse managers.

In the eyes of these women and the elderly, no matter how cheap the sea cucumbers on the market are, they will think they are expensive and will not inquire about the price unless necessary. Even if there is demand, ordinary people will buy things cheaply. They will not care about the best 30-head sea cucumbers. They will basically choose sea cucumbers with less than 50 heads. Therefore, the best-selling sea cucumbers on the market are 80-head sea cucumbers.

On the contrary, the manager of the guest house and the guests staying here are not dissatisfied with the better things. Those who can buy thirty heads will never consider fifty heads.

This is because the current society is too bureaucratic and everything depends on giving gifts. They are people who have become accustomed to welcoming and sending people off, and it is best to make friends with people of status and usefulness. They are good at currying favor with leaders and flattering their superiors. In order to exchange what is needed, harm the public and enrich private interests, and seek more benefits for oneself. Then you will naturally not be stingy when taking action.

Also, in fact, the more someone looks like a guest house manager, the more superstitious they are about relationships and the role of backdoors. Even if you tell him that there are cheaper sea cucumbers on the market, he won't believe it. Even if he believes it, he will still have prejudices and guess that the things on the market are fake and not as good as the good things bought by people with status.

Hong Yanwu even boldly made a guess in the end, saying that people who go to the beach to collect sea cucumbers during the peak season are just doing something wrong, bragging about their connections, and selling all the sea cucumbers they collect to people like them at high prices. These people in the guest house.

These words are well-founded and sound very reasonable. Basically, all the doubts of "Old Saury" can be explained clearly, which makes him convinced. But after being silent for a long time, he let out a long and complicated sigh.

To put it bluntly, firstly, he felt that the method of selling sea cucumbers at the entrance of the market was really wrong and stupid. All efforts were in vain, but no real buyer was found.

The second reason is that he is very dissatisfied with the current situation where gift-giving is common for seeking power for personal gain in society. However, these people are the main demanders of sea cucumbers, which makes him feel awkward and conflicted.

San Lai Hong Yanwu's astonishing insights gave him a kind of heartfelt admiration. He had clearly had a premonition that as long as Hong Yanwu was around, this summer, he would be able to do something that could last him for several years...

If you can think of this, "Old Saury" is indeed a sensible person. But despite this, after Hong Yanwu took out the general ledger that night, the final profit still scared him.

Since Hong Yanwu was not in a hurry to sell this time and acted as if he was sitting tight on the Diaoyutai to those who bought sea cucumbers, the transaction price was better than yesterday.

After all, the sea cucumbers, which weighed about twenty pounds and fifty heads, were actually sold at an average price of 45 cents per head. Thirty sea cucumbers weighing nearly 40 kilograms were sold at a high price of 80 cents a head. So these sixty kilograms of sea cucumbers turned into more than one thousand four hundred and seventy yuan.

If you take into account the total purchase cost of 816 yuan, the additional 90 yuan for customized tools and the ten kilograms of food stamps, then the net profit is more than 560 yuan, which is not a waste of money. Five days' rent, and it's only for one day. In the opinion of "Old Swordfish", this has caught up with the speed of printing money.

Chen Liquan and "Xiao Baizi" were naturally even more happy, and immediately made plans to go to the "Seafood Restaurant" for a big meal. He also said that he would let "Old Saury" introduce a few more "sea bumpers" tomorrow.

Unexpectedly, although Hong Yanwu happily agreed to pay for the treat, he shook his head about continuing to collect sea cucumbers tomorrow and said that this time it would be over. His reason is that he should stop when he sees fit, and he cannot make money in a hurry. Otherwise, if he does this for another day, the noise will be too big, and it will arouse others' suspicion. In the remaining days, everyone simply went shopping together to replenish supplies and waited for the tools to be obtained.

Hong Yanwu's words made Chen Liquan and "Xiao Baizi" calm down quickly. After thinking about it for a while, they had to admit that they were a little hot-headed. I have nothing to say about Hong Yanwu’s decision.

Especially the "Old Saury" who wanted to give some advice was so satisfied with Hong Yanwu that he had nothing to say. He was deeply impressed by Hong Yanwu's knowledge, ability, and maturity. At this point, he, like Chen Liquan and "Xiao Baizi", had an almost superstitious trust in Hong Yanwu.

In this way, starting from the fourth day of staying in the guest house, Hong Yanwu deposited the money in the bank. In addition to buying three pairs of flippers and replenishing supplies for surfing the sea, they had a complete rest and just experienced this like tourists every day. The unique style of the coastal city.

Not only did these people have a feast, but they also ate at high-end restaurants such as "Seafood Restaurant", "Qingshan Hotel", "Huibin Hotel", "Bohai Hotel", and "Qunying Building", went to the cinema, and went shopping In shopping malls and parks, everyone also had their hair cut, and we went to the photo studio to take a group photo together. Not to mention how beautiful that life was, it was even better than a real god.

In the past few days, the only dispute that occurred within this small group was that "Old Saury" refused to accept the 150 yuan given to him by Hong Yanwu.

Although Hong Yanwu said that it was agreed at the beginning that "Old Saury" would have a share of all the income, and without the introduction of "Old Saury", he would not be able to receive sea cucumbers. But this "old sea bumper" is the one who accepts death the most. He thinks that this is taking advantage of Hong Yanwu and the others, and he just doesn't want it. In the end, he even said that if Hong Yanwu mentioned this matter again, he would no longer take them to "touch the sea".

Therefore, Hong Yanwu could only give up temporarily. However, he was smart and remembered that "Old Saberfish" had always been envious of the old pocket watch in Chen Liquan's hand. When he went to the trust store to buy clothes, he leaned over the watch counter and looked at it endlessly, and he had a new idea in his mind. .

So he quietly went to the trust bank and spent 110 yuan to buy an almost brand new watch as a gift for "Old Saury". Although I couldn't buy a good-quality Swiss watch, the "Pearl" brand watch produced in Bincheng was now a well-known brand, and "Lao Dayu" could still put it down.

Hong Yanwu said very firmly at that time that the price of this watch was far less than what "Old Saury" should get. If "Old Saury" refused to accept it, then he would throw the watch into the sea.

This kind of unequivocal sincerity naturally completely shattered the already weak refusal of "Old Saury". At the same time, he felt more sympathy for Hong Yanwu in his heart. So with a kind of heartfelt touch, he accepted the watch with embarrassment.
