The mineral water drink sorbet business has been established in other stores. In the summer, iced and cool things do not need you to sell them, they are always the best-selling products.
On Anshun Street, Wei Tao didn't get it for his mother. There was a grocery store next to it. He had good relations with the neighbors nearby. Before the involution started, he didn't plan to start a war. He just asked Fu Xin to bring him a freezer and an ice drink. The stall's one-piece tables and chairs are placed in front of the door, umbrellas are set up, and ice cream and glass bottles of soda are additional items here.
The fruit and vegetable supermarket at the corner of the street, which is not doing very well, sells tobacco, alcoholic drinks, drinks, and ice cream. I haven’t seen the owners of these grocery stores say anything. Everyone knows that I run an ice cream and soda business in front of the school. If I can't do it on the side, I'll move it to the front of the store, and no one can say anything.
The mother and daughter employed in the store are surnamed Pang. The daughter takes her mother's surname. They are also a single-parent family. The mother has a daughter. The girl is slightly disabled in her legs and feet. She walks only 1.61 meters. She is 25 or 26 years old and has not found one. Target, mother and daughter depended on each other, they had been working odd jobs here and there, and their life was very difficult.
They are very affordable and responsible people. Zhou Xinglian was reluctant to hire people at first. He just planned to hire two temporary workers when he was busy. As time went by, they got to know each other, and when they went home every night to count money, they used to be With a monthly income of one to two thousand yuan, now I wish I could earn two or three days' income. The mother and daughter each received a salary of five hundred yuan a month. Zhou Xinglian "generously" paid for it, and also said that they would provide two meals at noon and evening, pork and vegetables. They are all available in the store, just use some gas and rice, they are affordable.
Guan Jinyue came to help during lunch, evening and holidays, but now that she had employees, Zhou Xinglian stopped letting Guan Jinyue 'waste' time and asked her to focus on her studies. She would be in her senior year of high school and try to get into a good university.
After Wei Tao got rid of the daily busy work of fruit boxes, he immediately started to show off his skills. At first, Zhou Xinglian was very angry. However, as the number of soy products and pork items in the store increased, profits increased, and he was busy learning how to cut pork. She was too lazy to take care of her son anymore. She heard from the fourth sister that her son was now more capable and guarding a store would be a waste of his talents.
Several pigs were brought to the Liu family's fruit and vegetable supermarket, and the sales were very good. This time Liu Dalong was no longer needed, and his son was directly given the opportunity to practice.
"You go talk to Wei Tao. Don't be afraid of being led by him now. You must admit that you are not as good as him now and learn slowly. With your father, it will take us three years to catch up. It won't be too late."
The Jia family's pig supply alone was not enough for less than a month, so Wei Tao could only open up new resources.
It was inevitable for the Liu family to get involved. Liu Dalong took 100,000 yuan to invest in the Jia family's pig breeding and expand operations in the names of Liu Lei and Wei Tao.
The money earned from the store and from investing in the two stores, in addition to ensuring that his mother would save two thousand yuan every month to give her a sense of security, Wei Tao took all the remaining money. He made a lot of money. But if you spend it faster, you will never see the money.
Liu Dalong did not arrange for anyone more mature and stable to follow him. Wei Tao could manage such a big thing by himself, and Liu Lei was not bad either. Although the two young men were more tender-faced, wasn't that just the process of experience? Let them toss, if they are young, don't toss, and when they want to.
When Liu Dalong said he would give up, he really did, and took his people with him to go south again. This time, he wanted to combine his unique in-store sales with the familiar wholesale.
In the past, I just made a phone call and asked someone to pick up the goods and come back for wholesale. Now I, the boss, come in person. Shouldn’t the fruits you give me be more serious when picking and packing them?
For more than ten days in a row, Wei Tao and Liu Lei were completely exhausted. Liu Lei was a little better and could sleep in in the morning. Wei Tao still had to ensure the stocking of his mother's shop every morning. After the lychee incident, he thought he had succeeded. Several store owners began to follow him to purchase goods.
Whether Wei Tao has face or not is one thing. When these families get together, the purchase price from each store starts with a few kilograms. It is an absolute big customer. Although we are buying goods, we still raise our necks when talking. When we arrived at the place, more and more people took the initiative to hand us cigarettes.
After loading the goods, he helped his mother move the goods into the house. With the help of Pang's mother and daughter, it was inevitable that he would have to intervene in the early morning work. After the work was done, Liu Lei drove over to pick him up. Liu Dalong was not there, so his Accord , Liu Lei and Wei Tao were driving, going out to discuss business. Their tender faces and young faces already gave people the first impression of being untrustworthy. Having a good car can also improve this first impression.
After working for more than ten days, we finally negotiated a contract with a meat joint factory. It was not a formal contract. At this time, we were responsible for supplying meat joint factories in several places. The business was pretty good. Wei Tao and Liu Lei invited the other factory director to stay overnight. After hanging out for seven or eight days, the other person spit on her.
On the surface, he needs to settle the higher-than-average purchase prices in some links within the factory.
Privately, he himself still needs a certain kickback.
Then, ensure that sufficient quantities are provided to the two meat joint factories to purchase the best quality pork after slaughter and flowing into the market. Wei Tao agreed to the other party's request, using one thousand kilograms as a calculation code, and what he gave us was indeed a good product of slaughtered pigs. One thousand kilograms, and we paid an extra two cents per kilogram. Privately, every kilogram was more than Give this factory director a dime.
The price of pork in the market fluctuates, currently ranging from 5.3 to 5.5 yuan. Wei Tao is thinking about the low end of the average market price, which is 5.3 yuan.
The meat joint factory provides pork, and I asked an experienced master chef to do some calculations. For a whole pig, the ribs are more expensive, and the fat is cheaper. The losses in transportation, labor and sales basically leave little. Compared with Compared with other sales points, the profit here has been reduced to less than 50 cents. If there is a slight mistake in the middle link, it is very likely that a pig will be pulled over, and there is a possibility that no profit will be made.
"Done. If he can give me better quality products, I will give you a little more kickback." Wei Tao gritted his molar teeth and nodded. He knew that these can be calculated in detail, and there will definitely be some more. It happens from time to time, during New Years and festivals, etc. Do you have enough to offer?
Liu Lei was convinced. He hesitated. He felt that it was not good to pretend to be a grandson in front of others. He only pretended to be a key person and let others take advantage of him. What was left for him?
Those who cut and sell pork must be specially trained. If not, they must hire someone. They must reserve a place in the store and have a special storage place.
Taking into account these scraps, there really wasn't much profit left. He didn't want to do it and wanted to look for it again. He wasn't afraid of wasting time, not afraid of being tired, and not afraid of getting blisters on the soles of his feet.
Wei Tao nodded, and Liu Lei breathed a sigh of relief. He made the decision, which was good.
On the way back, it was already very late. Wei Tao was driving. Today, Liu Lei was drinking with Director Yang. The business was settled. On the contrary, those follow-up programs that are always available and missing are not important tonight. Go home early and officially sign the contract tomorrow. 'Contract', a contract with yin and yang.
"Now we are begging others, and one day others will beg us. But in the final analysis, we still have to have our own supply of goods. Let's do it first. Once we are familiar with the business, the worst we can do is run our own breeding farm and slaughterhouse."
Liu Lei nodded dazedly.
Send Liu Lei home and take a taxi to 'Xianshiguang'. Mother and Guan Jinyue had closed the door and started the van to go home. This is my first real home, and now it has become a hotel where I sleep.
The lights were on inside the house, and the car didn't stop in the yard. There were plenty of places on the dirt road. It stopped against the wall, entered the yard, opened the door and entered the house.
In the big house, mother's snoring has already sounded.
The cabin now belongs to Guan Jinyue. She has to study late every night, Wei Tao never gets home on time, and Zhou Xinglian snores while sleeping, so Wei Tao gave the cabin to Guan Jinyue so that she could have her own quiet space to study.
"I'm back. There's hot water in the pot. Wash your face and soak your feet." Most of the water in the pot on the stove was boiling. Wei Tao sat on a chair in the kitchen and living room without lighting a lamp. Looking at the fire and the lights in Guan Jinyue's house, he enjoyed the meticulous care from Guan Jinyue like an uncle.
The temperature of the washing water is adjusted, the towel is kept at hand, and the toothpaste is squeezed out.
The temperature of the water for washing feet should be higher, and an ashtray will be placed next to where he sits and washes his feet. He also knows that Wei Tao likes to smoke a cigarette when soaking his feet every day.
"You didn't drink today, are you hungry?" He usually prepared a glass of honey water, but today Guan Jinyue didn't smell a strong smell of alcohol on Wei Tao, so she handed him a glass of warm water.
"I'm hungry, cook me noodles."
After wiping his feet, Wei Tao stood up and looked inside through the window on the stove. He did not disturb his mother. Guan Jinyue was very attentive and had figured out what kind of sound would not disturb her mother's sleep, so she was in the kitchen. Very easy to use.
Without pushing the door of the big house and looking at the clothes on his body, Wei Tao entered the small house and sat down against the wall at the foot of the bed next to the door. He thought he would lean on it and go to bed after eating, but he didn't sit there for a while. Minutes later, his eyelids drooped, and he fell asleep leaning on it. He moved, slid against the wall and fell on the bed, and his whole body seemed to be curled up on the bed.
After a while, Guan Jinyue took a bowl of noodles to the door and looked at it. The corners of her mouth raised slightly, and she put the noodles aside. She entered the room and adjusted the small fan to a shaking state, so that it could blow on him without blowing on him all the time.
He is afraid of heat.
Looking at that healthy-looking face, Guan Jinyue paused for a few minutes.
Compared with his peers, he does not have immature hair or adolescent acne. He bought a car and no longer covered himself with the wind and sun all winter. He finally became whiter. When it gets hot, he gets busy every day and gets exposed to the sun again. blacken.
Compared with riding a three-wheeled motorcycle to serve food in the wind, sun, rain, and winter snow, his life has improved, his business has improved, and he should have become more relaxed after buying a car. He seems to be busier. For how many days in a row, today is the earliest, Arrive home at ten o'clock.
Reach out and move his body so that he can stretch out as much as possible instead of lying there curled up. He took the pillow over and placed it under his head.
His clothes smelled of sweat and dust from running around all day. He didn't wash his hair, just his face.
Guan Jinyue didn't know if she would have considered these issues if she were someone else, would she dislike it, or would she resist. She didn't feel this way about Wei Tao, and she also asked herself whether it would be because of gratitude and the knowledge of a confidant. , and when it turned into something else, she did not dare to give a negative answer, which made her look at this man in a real sense for the first time.
