Chapter 24 Fungus Trading
There are two ends of the road from Baoshan Town to Xiapu County. The road near Baoshan Town is so narrow that even large trucks cannot pass through it. Although it is a cement road, it has been in disrepair for a long time. The road has long been potholed, and tricycles drive on it. The people in Diandi were so sour, their bones almost fell apart along the way.
After about an hour or so, when the tricycle reached the second half of the road, different from the narrow road just now, this road has been widened and the road surface is smooth, and several people are relieved.
Da Zhuang rubbed his sore buttocks, and said, "Is this also called road? Damn, my buttocks are going to be smashed into eight petals!"
Wang Sheng shook his head and said, "Don't complain, it's good to have a road, we don't have a road in Ning Village yet!"
Li Xiao was a little worried. There were few fungus picked by a few people, and a small tricycle could transport them, but if the whole village was gathered to pick them, there would definitely be a lot of fungus.
If you are using a small three-wheeler, it is not suitable. In fact, the most suitable one is a large truck, but the road close to the town cannot allow large trucks to pass at all. It's frustrating.
Compared with the poor Ning Village, Xiapu County is already very prosperous.
Looking at the cars flying by on the road from time to time, the eyes of several people were filled with endless envy.
Da Zhuang put the fungus on his back on the ground, rubbed his itchy face blown by the wind, and said enviously, "I don't know when I will be able to drive a car like this."
Li Xiao patted him on the shoulder and said meaningfully: "Maybe you will be able to afford a car soon." Li Xiao learned physiognomy from his grandfather. If it was before, although he learned physiognomy, But the effect of this is to sneer at it. In his opinion, it is all a lie.
But ever since he experienced the strange incident of sleeping for three years, Li Xiao began to believe in these mysterious things.
Whenever he has time every day, Li Xiao will take out the rare ancient books left by his grandfather and study them carefully. His understanding of physiognomy has also become deeper and deeper. Although he can't compare with his grandfather, he is much better than those physiognomy masters walking around the streets.
Although Da Zhuang's appearance is a little clumsy, but his appearance is quite good. This person is a fool who is blessed with a lot of good luck and wealth.
Under the guidance of passers-by, several people finally came to Tianlu Hotel. Looking at the six-story building in front of them, several people involuntarily opened their mouths.
This is probably the most luxurious hotel in Xiapu County. The whole building is made of translucent blue glass, which emits a blue light under the sunlight, which is beautiful.
In the center of the building, the four golden characters of Tianlu Hotel shine brightly.
In front of the hotel, dozens of cars of all kinds are parked, and there is a flower bed in front of it, with flowers of various colors blooming in it.
Few people seldom leave Ning Village, and even less come to the county seat. Have you ever seen such a luxurious hotel?
Just now, Li Xiao called Yan Ruyu, and it turned out that she was not in Xiapu County, but went to the provincial capital, as if she was attending some kind of meeting.
This also made Li Xiao breathe a sigh of relief.
For Yan Ruyu, Li Xiao loves and fears at the same time, this woman's desire is too strong, Li Xiao is afraid of making a fool of herself in front of her. And he came with his three brothers, it would be inconvenient to meet Yan Ruyu alone.
At this moment, a middle-aged man with eyes, wearing a suit, and taking care of his whole body came up to them and looked at Li Xiao and the others covered in dust, with a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes. But he hid it well and didn't show it.
But how could the changes in the middle-aged man's eyes escape Li Xiao's?
But Li Xiao didn't say anything, he saw this kind of look a lot, at least they encountered this kind of look after they entered this county.
Li Xiao went up to greet him, and he was not polite, and asked directly: "You are Manager Zhao from the purchasing department, right? Sister Yan told me to do business with you on the phone."
Sister Yan?
Why is this young man called Boss Yan so affectionate?
Reminiscent of the rumors about Yan Ruyu in the hotel, Zhao Chen immediately regarded Li Xiao as one of Yan Ruyu's concubines.
But the other party has an unusual relationship with Mr. Yan after all, and Zhao Chen did not neglect the other party.
A bright smile appeared on Zhao Chen's face, and he said, "Hi, I'm Zhao Chen, Mr. Yan told me that as long as your fungus meets the standard, I can give you a price of seventy per kilogram."
Li Xiao ordered Da Zhuang and the others to put the sack on the ground for Zhao Chen to check.
Zhao Chen looked down on Li Xiao and the others, but he still had a few brushes in his hands. It didn't take long for him to identify these fungus, and his firm method was more professional and fast than Yan Ruyu's.
Zhao Chen smiled and said, "My little brother is amazing. These fungus are all wild, and they are of the highest quality. Wild fungus of this quality are really rare nowadays."
In the end, Zhao Chen fully agreed with the purchase price of 70 per kilogram.
After calculating the weight of these fungus, it was not much different from what Li Xiao and the others measured. It was 560 kilograms in total. Li Xiao and the others got 39,200 yuan, which was packed in a kraft paper envelope.
Looking at the bulging envelope, Da Zhuang still seemed to be dreaming. He couldn't help stretching out his hand, pinching the thickness of the envelope, feeling the thickness inside, Da Zhuang opened his big mouth and smiled.
Xiao Zhuang's eyeballs were a little red, and he murmured, "I'm finally rich, I'm finally rich."
Seeing the appearance of several people, Li Xiao did not speak. He had experienced this feeling before. After all, the people in Ning Village are too poor, and they can't even earn 10,000 yuan throughout the year. One can imagine how much this money stimulates them.
Ignoring Da Zhuang and the others, Li Xiao came directly to Manager Zhao and asked, "Manager Zhao, if the amount of fungus we sent is a bit large, will you accept it?"
Manager Zhao was stunned for a moment, but then said, "Is it all of this quality?"
Li Xiao nodded.
"If they are all in this kind of appearance, we will charge as much as we have." Manager Zhao said, patting his chest.
Li Xiao quickly said: "Manager Zhao, we really have a lot of fungus."
Seeing Li Xiao repeatedly stressing that there are many fungus, Manager Zhao calmed down. He couldn't help being curious, and asked, "How many fungus do you have?"
In Manager Zhao's view, it is only a few thousand kilograms. After all, wild fungus is too difficult to harvest.
"About tens of thousands of kilograms, maybe more." Li Xiao roughly estimated the weight.
"How much?" Now it was Manager Zhao's turn to be restless, he exclaimed all of a sudden, causing the surrounding pedestrians to watch.
Manager Zhao suppressed the shock in his heart, and asked again: "How many fungus did you say?"
"At least 50,000 kilograms!"
At this moment, Manager Zhao's expression towards Li Xiao finally changed a little, and the real rich man is the one who loves him.
If wild fungus weighing more than 50,000 kilograms is collected at this price, it will cost at least 3.5 million yuan, and it's not up to him, the manager of the purchasing department, to decide.
I really didn't expect that Li Xiao, who was just a turkey in Zhao Chen's eyes, would be so rich.
Manager Zhao took out his mobile phone and said to Li Xiao, "Mr. Li, wait a minute, I'll ask for instructions."
After knowing that Li Xiao probably owns more than 50,000 kilograms of wild fungus, Zhao Chen also called Li Xiao "little brother" as Mr. Li. People are so realistic.
About ten minutes later, Zhao Chen walked over with a smile on his face, and said, "Mr. Li, Mr. Yan said that as long as it is the fungus you send, no matter how much, she will accept it. As long as the quality remains the same, the price will remain the same." Change."
With Yan Ruyu's promise, Li Xiao was finally relieved.
