The workshop he builds does not necessarily have to be big, but the open space must be larger so that it can be exposed to the sun. By the way, he can also build a warehouse!
After drying, it can be received directly from the warehouse and then transported to the city. Stores in the city can also be freed up for rent.
Looking at the market, the number of people is gradually increasing, and the number of shops is slowly increasing. It is estimated that people will rent it soon.
Kill, dry, store, and do it all at once!
If a provincial man proposes to build a warehouse alone, his father and daughter-in-law will object. Building a small workshop and surrounding an open space for drying is not a problem, right?
Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many of them hanging in the yard now. Hanging them at the door of his two brothers would not be a solution. It would also affect other people's daily lives. Moreover, what should I do if there are thieves at night? He is now a wealthy man in the village!
Lin Xiuqing was surprised, but she couldn't say anything against it. They had so many goods, they couldn't just hang them out in the open space, right?
It's fine during the day, but what about at night?
"How much money will this cost?"
"It doesn't cost much to get a piece of vacant land, but now I'm busy catching squid and I don't have time to hire someone to build it, but I have to buy the land first."
"I heard that the folks around us think that the feng shui in the area around us is good, and the area around us is now the first choice when building a house. Let's buy the land in advance. Otherwise, if someone else buys it, there will be no vacant land nearby."
"After this period of time has passed, we will build it slowly. We only need to use a little bit of the money we make to build it. When it is built, we can dry the toads and fish again in the winter."
"This year we have four boats fishing there, and there will definitely be more goods. This small workshop must be opened, otherwise our small yard will be packed with people."
Lin Xiuqing felt that what he said made sense.
In the past, thousands of kilograms of fresh fish were piled in the yard, and people couldn't leave, so they had to go through the back door. It's the same today.
If there are more fish in the second half of the year, there will need to be an open space for others to kill fish, and space to dry them at home.
"Then let's buy a piece of land first, preferably closer..."
"The open space on the other side of the road next to my eldest brother's house is all enclosed, and the land is big enough. It doesn't affect my eldest brother and his family's farming. Anyway, it's on the other side of the road, close to us. They can hear anything."
The grass on that piece of land grew taller than the people. Originally, the area in front of the beach was too close to the sea, so it was all deserted. No one built houses here, farmed, etc., all in the village. A cover that has no holes in it.
Therefore, there are basically no yards in the village, and the available ones are used to build houses. Some houses have no open space in front, back, left, and right, so they simply add a second floor and build a building.
"But after we bought the land, we don't have stones or bricks to surround it, and we still don't have a place to dry it. It's too much and expensive, and it's not safe to dry it outside. If we put it in at night and put it at home, it would stink after covering it all night..."
Lin Xiuqing suddenly realized that after buying this land, there was no way to build it immediately, and they still had no place to dry it. What he just said was only to facilitate the future, and there was nothing to do now.
Ye Yaodong was right when he thought about it. This would be convenient for the future. In the next few days, it would also be a problem if a large amount of dried squid and fish were dried.
Thinking about it, it would be more convenient to just harvest it and let the villagers share it. They would dry it in the sun and he would just collect it.
But squid is too expensive. If you accept it from others, you have to pay for it. You also have to make profits for others and show off your own goods. In total, you only pay your own labor costs.
"Why don't you invite your eldest and second brothers over? Let them take turns to help watch and calculate wages at night? There shouldn't be much work in the fields now. Your eldest and second sisters-in-law should be able to handle it, right? By the way, call A Yuan over and I'll take him out Hai, let him go to the island to pick up squid? Can you also make them earn more?"
Lin Xiuqing's eyes lit up, "Okay, give my eldest and second brothers a call and ask them to come over and help us. You can earn some money. If the fields are not busy, you can also call my two sisters-in-law over to help kill fish." , Anyway, the children are quite old, and they can cook by themselves. Every few days, they take turns to go back and look at the land, which is okay."
"Okay, you have no objection. I'll call your eldest and second brothers later and ask them to come over tomorrow. Ayuan can't study anyway, so just take half a month off. Your eldest niece can If you want to study, just stay at home and study hard, and take care of a bunch of little ones at the same time.”
"Hey good."
"One more thing, you have to help me calculate the account. How much is the right price for our squid? I asked the folks and my dad, and they all said it's about five kilograms or just over five kilograms. If you can sell one kilogram, it's not much different. How many."
"Then let me calculate the cost. Let's hire four people to kill it. It's almost two thousand kilograms, and the labor cost is six or seven yuan. I asked my mother a few days ago, and she said that the squid is lightly dried and does not require salt..."
As Lin Xiuqing spoke, she took out a pen and paper to write down...
"How many kilograms did the eldest and second brothers just send back?"
"920 kilograms, which is a little over 2,000 kilograms in total. In terms of cost, the goods in our yard cost about 660. The labor cost is not much, so let's count it as 670..."
"920 kilograms, which is a little over 2,000 kilograms in total. In terms of cost, the goods in our yard cost about 660. The labor cost is not much, so let's count it as 670..."
"It's just over two thousand kilograms, but it's less than 400 kilograms. If you calculate it as 400 kilograms, the cost of one kilogram is about 1 yuan 6 cents. If you calculate it as 380 kilograms, it's 1 yuan 7 cents 6. How much do you think it should be sold for? "
Ye Yaodong thought for a while and said what he was thinking on the way, "It hasn't been published yet, and we don't have an accurate number yet. We can only make a rough estimate. If we calculate it as 1 yuan 8, then we have to sell it for 2 yuan 8, so You can earn three to four hundred more a day!"
"Ah! If you expose it, you will earn so much more in one day... Is it too much? We can only sell so much in one day with two boats."
Lin Xiuqing was surprised. The profit was too high, right?
"Is it much?"
"Isn't that much? Our two boats can be sold for more than 300 a day. If we take them back to dry and sell them, we will not earn a total of 700 or 800 a day?"
"And if you want to sell it for two and eight yuan, they will take it, transport it on the road, pay for the toll, and then sell it wholesale. The wholesale price is more than three yuan, so you can't sell it for four or five yuan in retail?"
"Is it too expensive? If others can't sell it, why can they ask us to buy it? Everyone can calculate the price and estimate the approximate cost. It's not appropriate to sell it if it's too expensive."
Ye Yaodong touched it. Thinking about it, he did feel a little greedy.
You have to give others room to make money so that he can sell more. Otherwise, if he buys and sells all at once, won’t he be unable to sell his subsequent goods?
"Then what do you think is the right price to sell someone's house for?"
"We dry the cuttlefish ourselves. We don't need to collect it from outside, and we don't need to give money to others. After all, we earn it ourselves, so it doesn't matter if we buy it cheaper. Is it two and a half? Then? If someone makes a counter-offer, shall we pay him another ten or two cents?"
"Then two yuan and thirty-four? The cost is one yuan and eighty, and you earn fifty-six cents? If you show off three or four hundred kilograms a day, you will earn about one or two hundred more?"
Calculating it this way, it seems to be quite a lot?
One or two hundred is enough for him to drag the network for two or three days. All he has to do is hire someone to dry it. After all, he is a wholesale source, so he has to give people room to make money.
"Yeah, if you think about it, we don't need to do much tiring work. We can just bring the goods back and hire someone to kill and dry them. We can earn one or two hundred more a day, and the goods will gradually increase. One day It can definitely be more, I can definitely earn 200, isn’t it a lot in total?”
"This flood season can last for ten days and a half. I can earn two to three thousand yuan more in half a month. Isn't that a lot? Last year, we only earned about 2,000 yuan during the entire flood season. This year, you don't need to worry too much. It will double if you put it in the sun.”
Ye Yaodong nodded, "It makes sense, small profits but quick turnover. After all, the flood season has just begun. We still hope to make more money in the next few days, so we can't scare people away."
"Yeah, it's good that we can make money anyway, and earning 50 cents per catty is much better. Fresh ones are only 35 cents per catty."
"Okay, then I'll call them and tell them two and a half dollars to give them room to bargain. By the way, I'll also call your eldest brother, second brother and Ayuan to help."
"Okay, if they still want to get cheaper, we can make it cheaper by another ten or two cents. Anyway, we don't receive the goods from others. If we catch it ourselves,"
"I'll see."
It would be even cheaper by a cent or two. After all, he is only making a rough estimate now and hasn't shown it yet.
"Do you want to go after dinner? You've been walking back and forth and haven't even sat down to rest for a while."
"It's okay. I left late today, not until noon, and came back early, so I didn't feel too tired. Only after I settled the matter can I feel at ease."
"Okay, you go first. I'll just make some soup. Dad went home just now to take a shower. When you come back from the phone call, we can probably have dinner together."
"Don't wait for me. If they come over, just eat together first and leave some food for me."
Ye Yaodong said as he walked to the back door. When he came back, he parked his bicycle at the back door. The yard was too crowded.
Riding his bicycle along the way, he thought about it again and felt that he could not be too cruel and make too much money.
When the price drops day by day, he will have to sell at a lower price then. People will definitely be familiar with the market price.
