Liu Zhijian soon came back with a bowl of wonton and a bowl of noodles: "Xiao Zhang, do you want noodles or wonton?"
Seeing that Liu Zhijian often eats noodles, Zhang Qianxiu said, "eat wonton!"
Liu Zhijian handed the wonton to Zhang Qianxiu and ate it with his own noodles: "do you also want to do this business?"
Liu Zhijian thought that Zhang Qianxiu was looking for a job at the beginning, but Zhang Qianxiu made it clear that he didn't want to pay for it. He also asked him how he thought about the quality of rice, what channels to sell rice, how much money he usually wanted, how much profit he had, and whether the payment for rice should be settled now or how.
Liu Zhijian naturally knew that Zhang Qianxiu wanted to be a rice dealer.
Zhang Qianxiu nodded and admitted: "yes, my family is poor and it's difficult to study. I need to find something to do."
Liu Zhijian said, "what are you going to do? To wholesalers or to rice shops? "
Zhang Qianxiu said with a smile: "give it to the rice shop! Wholesalers want too much and have high quality requirements. I just did it, but I can't do it well. "
Liu Zhijian took a mouthful of noodles, chewed the noodles and said: "there is no one in the town to buy rice. The price of rice is not much different from that of this kind of market. You have to send the whole motorcycle to the county, which also costs a lot of money."
At present, motorcycles cost tens of thousands of yuan. If you pull three or five hundred jin to the county at a time, you can earn a few cents a Jin. You can earn dozens of yuan a day, which is also a living.
Now ordinary farmers can't find jobs that cost a few yuan a day, and they are all scrambling to do jobs that give money. These tens of yuan a day are a good way.
Zhang Qianxiu was silent for a moment and said, "brother Liu, I'm going to try my bike first. Motorcycles are too expensive."
Liu Zhijian took a look at Zhang Qianxiu: "that won't last long. The five fairs in the town are all 30 Li from the nearest to the county seat, and 50 Li from the far away. Even if you get less, you still need one or two hundred jin? It's too much for ordinary people to run thirty or fifty miles with 200 Jin of rice pulled by a bicycle. "
Zhang Qianxiu said with a smile, "I have to try it."
In fact, Liu Zhijian is not optimistic about Zhang Qianxiu: "I advise you to forget it. In fact, the technology of collecting rice is not high. You can only watch rice, but you have to find a good market. Those rice sellers in the county are all given away. Don't smash them."
"Thank you brother Liu for reminding me, I know!" Zhang Qianxiu has no other way. This is the safest way. If he can go to Pengcheng and Shencheng, which are the first tier cities in the future, he may be able to find another way. But in this small county, there is almost no business.
Zhang Qianxiu has nothing to do with it. He can only fight hard and start from making hard money.
Liu Zhijian also said: "I'll tell you some routines. You just entered the industry, you may not know. When selling rice, unfamiliar boss, you should look at your own rice, they may go to your rice and press your price; In addition, you should see the money clearly. No matter how familiar you are, you should also see it face to face. "
"What's more, every time you send rice, you must prepare a Raincloth, just in case. Once rice is soaked in water, it will take you a long time to earn it back."
"When collecting rice, we should pay attention to that some people will put good rice on the top and poor rice on the bottom, and some even use 20 jin of good rice to exchange 5 jin of poor rice. You can't see it if you don't look carefully."
Liu Zhijian and Zhang Qianxiu talked a lot, and finally asked, "when are you going to collect it?"
"Just a few days!" Zhang Qianxiu's main purpose now is to wait for himself to be in good health. Besides, he has to solve the problem of bicycles. His family doesn't have bicycles.
Liu Zhijian nodded: "a few days ago, I watched for you. I often collect rice. People who sell rice all know me and dare not play tricks on me. You are a new man. Others see you as young, and they just play tricks on you."
Liu Zhijian will help Zhang Qianxiu. First, there is no competition between him and Zhang Qianxiu. Their sales are different; Second, Zhang Qianxiu was not very old. He worked hard and looked after him without any effort.
When Zhang Qianxiu got home, it was almost dark.
Not long after their parents and elder sister had just returned from the field, Zhang Qianxiu and his father were "at war" these days because of their elder sister's affairs, and they looked at each other with distaste.
"I don't stay at home all day, and I still know how to come back?" Zhang Aibing saw Zhang Qianxiu and said: "I don't know if I'll come back for dinner."
Zhang Qianxiu doesn't want to quarrel with his father because of this. He wants to earn enough money. When the Han family comes, his father doesn't return the betrothal gifts. He pays them back.
Zhang Qianxiu was silent for a moment and said, "Dad, how much money do you have at home? I want to use it
"What do you want money for?" Zhang Aibing looked at his son and asked, "how much do you want?"
"A hundred!" Zhang Qianxiu has already figured it out. Even if the high price is 40 cents a catty, he will get 200 catties in the early stage. Moreover, he has to find a way to get the means of transportation. The new bike costs 150 to 180 yuan, and the second-hand one will be cheaper, but it also costs dozens of yuan. I'll see if I can borrow one. My uncle has it. Maybe I can borrow it for three or five days, if it goes well, Three or five days to earn money back from a used bicycle.
When Zhang Aibing asked for 100 yuan, it was like a cat stepped on its tail. It was a lot of money. Pork was only two yuan and a Jin, and rice was only a few cents and a Jin. 100 yuan was the daily expenses of his family for half a year.
Zhang Aibing didn't ask his son what he wanted money to do, so he immediately refused: "if you want a few yuan, it's OK. If you want so much money, you can't get it out at home."
Zhang Qianxiu said, "Dad, I'm going to do business. Fifty is OK. I promise I'll make it back to you in five days."
