In the evening, Liu Dan rushed to Qindong Railway Station with Xia Sanhu, Chen Erniu and seven tractors of apples.
Since it was too early, they had to park outside and wait.
Since no one could be left alone in each vehicle, Lin Xiao personally went over to deliver food to these tractor drivers.
After finally staying up until two o'clock in the night, someone from the station came out to inform them to load the cars. They were lucky this time, and three salt carriages were arranged.
To put it bluntly, the salt in the carriage was not full, and their apples were packed in the empty space.
Of course, two people and three carriages could not take care of each other. In desperation, Lin Xiao had no choice but to go with the carriage. Originally, he had not planned to go.
After loading the apples, Lin Xiao quickly called Chen Erniu to the side. He took out a wad of banknotes from his pocket, then counted 2,400 yuan to him and told him to go back and immediately pay the contract fee for the brick and tile factory. handed in.
In addition, Lin Xiao also told Chen Erniu not to rush into production, but to get rid of those who couldn't do the work first. If necessary, let him recruit a few more in the village.
But Chen Erniu said that if people from one village couldn't do the job well, it would be better to recruit them from other villages.
Lin Xiao thought for a while and agreed to Chen Erniu's suggestion.
After sending Chen Erniu and the others away, Lin Xiao asked Xia Huzi to get into the middle carriage, and he and Liu Dan got into the carriages on both sides.
There was no conversation all the way, and only at a stop along the way did the three of them come down to pee. Xia Sanhu was obviously not used to it. When he got off the train, he couldn't even walk and almost fell to the ground.
After finally getting to Dongtai Station, the three of them got off the bus and found that Lu Qian did not come. This made Lin Xiao anxious.
There are more than 20,000 kilograms of apples, let alone more than 500 boxes. Three people have to unload the goods within half an hour. This is a fatal task. Even if they are exhausted, they may not be able to complete it.
Liu Dan became anxious when he saw it. He asked loudly: "What should I do, Brother Xiao?"
"We seize the time to unload as much as we can."
Lin Xiao said and took off his coat. You must know that it is three o'clock in the middle of the night, and most people will feel cold when wearing a coat.
Under the leadership of Lin Xiao, the three people started working hard. After they had been working for about five or six minutes, Lu Qianjin came over with seven or eight people.
Everyone worked together, and as soon as more than 500 boxes of apples were unloaded, the sound of the locomotive's horn was heard giving the signal.
Liu Dan and Xia Sanhu collapsed on the ground tiredly. Liu Dan blamed Lu Qian a little unhappily and said, "Boss Lu! What do you mean? Are there any people who are so playful?"
When Liu Dan said this, he was so tired that he was out of breath.
Lu Qianjin gasped and said, "I'm really sorry. Something happened on the road. This will definitely not happen next time."
Lin Xiao let out a sigh of relief and said: "Let's make an agreement that the future delivery location will be at Dongtai Station, and you will complete the unloading work. If you are delayed like today and the apples are not finished unloading and are taken away, you will Go to Capital Station to unload."
When Lu Qianjin heard this, he smiled a little sheepishly and said, "Okay! This time the problem is indeed on my side."
Everyone took a short break and then started loading the car.
Since there were more than 500 boxes, Lu Qianjin drove two trucks at once. Just as everyone was busy, staff from three stations suddenly came over.
Lin Xiao quickly winked at Liu Dan, who quickly called Xia Huzi, and the two of them walked over with three boxes of apples in their arms.
The three people turned back halfway and left. Lu Qianjin on the side smiled and said, "Boss Lin is young and knows how to do things."
"Hey! Harmony makes money, this is all a small problem."
Lin Xiao pretended to be generous and smiled, but in fact he was quite reluctant to bear it. Three boxes of apples weighing more than 100 kilograms were transported from such a long way to give away. Let alone Lin Xiao, anyone else would feel distressed.
The sky was slightly bright, and more than 250 boxes of apples had been inspected and weighed. While doing the accounting, Lin Xiao was still thinking about whether he could increase the price a little.
But what he didn't expect was that Lu Qianjin only paid eight cents per catty, not a penny more.
Liu Dan became angry on the spot. He shouted at the top of his lungs: "Boss Lu, that's not what you said last time. You said that if I send you another 10,000 to 20,000 kilograms of goods, the price will go up."
"Oh, brother, the apple business is getting harder and harder. This price is the most conscientious price in Chengdu. Moreover, it's 20,000 kilograms for you, and the damage is also serious."
As Lu Qianjin spoke, he began to rummage through the box for injured apples.
Lin Xiao became anxious when he saw it, because he was in a hurry when unloading the truck this morning, so he could handle it lightly, but many of them were thrown directly on the ground.
"Okay, let's settle the bill at eight cents per catty."
Lin Xiao immediately made a decision. If Lu Qianjin were allowed to turn over like this, if injured apples were turned out, the price of eight anise per catty would probably not be saved.
Only then did Lu Qianjin stop. He calculated on the paper with a pen and said, "Withhold one hundred kilograms of injured fruits and pay you a total of ten thousand Lu, four hundred and twenty yuan."
When Liu Dan heard that he was going to take so many injuries, he quit again.
But Lin Xiao said: "Okay, but let's see, Boss Liu, what stuff from you here can be sold to us?"
Lu Qianjin first counted the money to Lin Xiao, and then he thought for a moment and said, "You probably don't have oranges at your place, so I don't know how much they cost?"
When Lin Xiao heard this, he hurriedly asked: "What is your purchase price here? Please calculate all the shipping costs into it."
Lu Qianjin calculated with a pen and said: "If we calculate it as 10,000 kilograms, the cost of shipping it to you will be around 50 cents. In addition, this is fruit and there will be losses, so the cost price will be around 60 cents."
When Lin Xiao heard this, he quickly shook his head and said, "Forget it, people over there have low consumption levels, and a pound of fruit is as expensive as a pound of pork."
When Lu Qianjin heard this, he couldn't help but laughed and said, "If you want to eat meat, this fruit is also indispensable?"
Lin Xiao smiled and said no more. He knew that Lu Qianjin would not understand this matter.
A few people drank tea and chatted randomly. At eight o'clock, Lin Xiao called Liu Dan and Xia Huzi, and the three of them set off immediately.
After going to the post office to remit the money, Lin Xiao took Liu Dan and Xia Huzi to have breakfast.
At the small restaurant, Lin Xiao ordered several side dishes, which made Xia Huzi laugh happily.
"Oh my god! I can't believe that apples that cost only a cent a pound can be sold at such a good price here."
Liu Dan reached out and patted Xia Huzi on the shoulder and said, "Don't talk nonsense when you go back."
"I know this, but I can't do this business without the skills. I've learned a lot along the way."
As soon as Xia Huzi finished speaking, five men walked in together and sat at the table next to them.
Lin Xiao only glanced at it, and his heart couldn't help but thump.
