Chapter 126 Inquiring about the Price of Dry Goods
It was almost dawn when Lu Hai returned to the rental house.
However, Jiang Wenbai and others have not slept yet.
When he saw Lu Hai coming back, he hurriedly asked, "Brother Lu, how is it?"
Obviously, they couldn't sleep well until the problems in the store were resolved.
Moreover, Lu Hai would be out for a whole day, so he was naturally a little worried.
Seeing everyone's anxious look, Lu Hai smiled and comforted them.
"Okay, the problem has been solved. If nothing unexpected happens, that group of people will not come again. And no one should come to our store to cause trouble in the future. We will open as usual tomorrow."
When they heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
They are really afraid.
After all, up to now, Lu Hai has invested more than 20,000 yuan in various things in the store and rent. If this problem cannot be solved, all the 20,000 yuan will be lost.
Moreover, their purpose of coming to Kyoto would be ruined.
You know, when they first came out, they told their families that they must make something of themselves.
If you go back in disgrace, your family won't say anything, but it is certain that the young man will be ashamed.
So, after hearing Lu Hai say that the matter had been resolved, they could finally go back to sleep with peace of mind...
Of course, this matter is just an insignificant little thing for Lu Hai.
Now all he needed to think about was the 20 yuan he had to pay to the National Cotton Mill in a month.
Fortunately, I have such a large stock of mountain products at home, so I don’t need to worry too much about the initial funds.
Now all he needs to do is think about how to sell this batch of mountain products.
So, after waking up the next morning, Lu Hai did not go to the slaughterhouse with them, but went to the market.
Although things are sold here, there are also channels for purchasing things.
So, Lu Hai planned to go and ask around first.
In my previous life, I only heard from my predecessors in the industry that the prices of many things had increased due to the open policies.
Among them, the price of mountain products has increased from 2 yuan to almost yuan per catty.
And this is just the purchase price.
Of course, they had only heard about it, and they couldn't tell the exact price, they only knew it was at least 2 yuan.
However, this also gave Lu Hai a measure of self-esteem.
However, because the prices in each region are different, Lu Hai still plans to inquire around first.
Besides, the amount he eats is too large, and not everyone can finish it.
Therefore, Lu Hai plans to visit several markets today to inquire about the situation. Of course, the best case scenario is to ship in batches.
Otherwise, if more than 200,000 kilograms of dry goods flow into the market at the same time, the price will also drop, which is not in line with the interests of land and sea.
When they heard that Lu Hai had important things to do, they naturally patted their chests and said that they could handle the affairs in the store.
Seeing how confident they were, and thinking about how well they handled things the day before yesterday, I felt relieved.
Lu Hai first came to the market they often visited and found a dry goods store to inquire.
The boss hurried over to greet the guests when he saw them coming. "What dried food do you need? We just got a batch of wild hazel mushrooms. They are top-quality dried food."
It has to be said that after the policy was opened and some private shops opened, the service attitude of many previous shops also improved.
In the past, it was too difficult to open a store privately. Even if it was a small grocery store, you couldn’t open it if you didn’t have any connections.
Therefore, the business owners who opened the store before the policy was opened had very bad service attitude.
But what about today?
As the competitive pressure increases, people start to pay attention to details in all aspects.
At least there was no beating or insulting of God.
Originally, this situation should have been getting better, but for some reason, decades later, the extremely poor service attitude before the 80s reappeared.
However, these have little to do with land and sea.
Instead of thinking about the future, he needs to live in the present.
"Comrade, I don't buy dry goods." Lu Hai said with a smile.
When the boss heard that Lu Hai was not buying anything, he asked in confusion, "Comrade, why are you coming to my store if you are not buying any dry goods?"
"I just want to ask, Boss, do you need any mountain products? There should be a big shortage of dry goods now, right? I have the best dry goods, and the quantity is sufficient."
When the boss heard this, he was immediately happy.
This person who sells mountain products is being visited by another person who sells mountain products?
However, the boss was obviously wary and simply waved his hand and said, "No need, no need."
Lu Hai knew the boss’s concerns, after all, this thing is something that is eaten.
A stranger, coming to someone's house to ask if they want useful information out of nowhere, anyone would suspect that he has ulterior motives.
What if there are some poisonous mushrooms mixed in here, and if someone gets hurt after eating it, who will be responsible?
Lu Hai can just walk away when the time comes, but the boss's store is here, and all the information has been registered, so it will be accurate once checked.
The monk can run away but the temple cannot, right?
Therefore, the boss would definitely be more willing to work with people he is familiar with.
Lu Hai understood this, but he was not discouraged. Instead, he continued, "Hey, boss, let's discuss this. My mountain products have been inspected and there is no problem."
"Besides, you see, now that the policy is open, the market demand for this dry goods will increase a lot, and your previous supply channels will definitely not be able to supply it for a while."
"What if the product runs out of stock? What will happen to your business?"
When the boss heard this, he knew that what Lu Hai said made sense.
Apart from anything else, more and more people have been coming to me to order useful goods recently.
But there were indeed problems with the supply channels.
After all, there was demand for dry goods in previous years, but the market is so small every year. If suppliers purchase more, they will definitely end up with a lot of it.
Although I still have some stock on hand, it's only about one thousand kilograms. If I sell them all, I can't just watch the money flow out through my fingers, right?
Thinking about it this way, the boss thought that it would be a good idea to take a look at Lu Hai’s goods.
Whether or not we can talk about it is another matter. If it is possible, we won’t have to worry about this problem until next year.
"How much do you have?" asked the boss.
"About 200,000 kilograms." Seeing that there was a chance, Lu Hai said it directly.
"How much?" The boss was surprised when he heard the amount.
"Two hundred thousand jin."
"I can't eat so much." The boss shook his head.
"Boss, you can buy together with others. Besides, when the goods in the market are sold out and you are the only ones left with the dry goods, you can set the price at that time." Lu Hai tempted.
When the boss heard this, he was immediately interested.
After all, what Lu Hai said makes sense. According to his current speculation, there are not many dry goods left in circulation in the market.
If they had these 200,000 kilograms, not to mention anything else, just the one and a half acres of land in Kyoto would be enough for them to have enough to eat.
Seeing that the boss was somewhat interested, Lu Hai added fuel to the fire again, "If you are assured, you can go and take a look at the goods first. These goods are put together. You can take a look first. If you think they are suitable, it is not too late to order them later."
"Then how much do you plan to sell it for?"
"Boss, if you transport it yourself, it's 2.1 yuan per pound. If I transport it, it's 2.2 yuan." Lu Hai said.
When the boss heard the price, he frowned and said, "Comrade, your price is too high. The current purchase price of these dry goods is only one dollar and eighty cents."
Upon hearing this, Lu Hai replied directly, "Boss, you also know that the price of this thing will definitely go up, and the previous price is definitely not acceptable."
"To be honest, if I wasn't in a hurry to use the money, I would have sold this batch of goods slowly, and I would have made more money. This price would definitely be profitable for you, and it's not a small amount."
The boss hesitated when he heard this, and said after a moment,
"How about this, comrade? I can't finish all this stuff myself. I'll talk to someone about it. I'll come back to you in a couple of days to discuss the price. How about that?"
When Lu Hai heard this, he agreed immediately. "Okay, if that's the case, then boss, come to this hot pot restaurant to find me in three days, and I'll ask others."
When the boss heard that Lu Hai was going to find someone else, he was anxious, but there was nothing he could do.
After all, the goods are in Lu Hai's hands. I can't stop Lu Hai from finding someone else, right?
If you have already placed an order and you still haven't paid the deposit, it doesn't make sense to keep others waiting for you.
Then, the boss hurriedly prepared to look for someone to see if there was any chance to buy this batch of goods.
And Lu Hai, at this time, also went directly to another market...
