Six Hundred and Sixty-Three, Look to the Future
The young man rode slowly on the horse, and Su Lei followed beside him. After walking for five or six kilometers, the young man saw the goods that Su Lei and the others had piled up in the small mountain depression.
But the boy frowned: "Is that all?"
He got off his horse and walked around the goods. Most of them were vegetables, but there were very few medicines. There were not a few iron utensils, but there were quite a lot of seasonings such as onion, ginger, and garlic.
To sum it up, there are not many things worth the money...
Su Lei explained from the side: "The time is relatively short, so I can only get these things. You live on the grassland and have never been to the south, so you may not know that the supplies in the south are not as rich as you imagined. It is also difficult to get these things." Very strenuous."
The young man looked at Su Lei with a half-smile, and he probably understood: "I guess you don't have the money to buy what I want?"
Su Lei was suddenly embarrassed: "How is it possible, what I said is true."
"Okay," the young man didn't want to break it down, but said directly: "There is no common currency between us, so we can simply exchange things. How do you want to exchange them?"
Su Lei thought for a while and said: "Actually, you have also seen that the people in the south are also very poor. If you give me these furs, I can't sell them for a good price. These days, after all, food is the most valuable."
On the way here, Su Lei had already figured out how to bargain. It was nothing more than bullying the northern nomads who didn't understand the situation in the Central Plains, making them think that their furs were worthless, and then raising the price of tea, medicine, ironware, and vegetables in his hands. Value, you can make a lot of money.
The young man didn't refute, but continued to listen to Su Lei's nonsense with great interest: "It's not cold in our Central Plains, so it doesn't make sense to wear such late furs, but ironware is rare. Do you know how much this pot is worth?" money?"
The young man smiled and asked, "More than nine hundred?"
Su Lei suddenly stopped, because the young man actually accurately stated the value of the iron pot.
Of course, the value is not accurate enough. Although ironware is still scarce now, after Fort 178 took over the Zong family's territory, many living materials that were originally in the Zong family's hands have been reduced in price. Now the price of an iron pot is 800 yuan.
But just a month ago, the iron pot was still selling for more than 900...
At this moment, Su Lei suddenly realized that the young man in front of him probably knew about Nanfang!
Su Lei was silent for a while and said: "Let's not talk about the iron pot first, let's talk about the medicine. You also know that as long as people are alive, they must take medicine. No one suffers from headaches. Many people may burn to death once they have a fever. Therefore, the price of the drug has been high, guess how much this antibiotic costs?"
The boy asked again with a smile: "Two hundred?"
Su Lei was helpless, one time might be accidental, but two times definitely not.
"How do you know the price of these things?" Su Lei was puzzled. Could it be that a traitor appeared in the south and ran to the grassland?
Who on earth leaked the news!
But the young man said with a smile: "Okay, the most expensive things here are dozens of antibiotics and ironware. It can be seen that you bought these things by selling iron. Vegetables are worthless. Although the barrier controls food, But vegetables are never controlled, and the refugees can grow them in the wilderness. I guess you also grow these vegetables yourself."
Su Lei felt a little powerless, but he still wanted to resist again: "The price of the fur..."
The boy interrupted with a smile: "To show my sincerity,
The furs I brought this time are all the best looking. These things cost at least three or four thousand pieces at the grocery store in the market town. "
Su Lei lost his temper completely. He still thought that he could deceive the northern nomads. After all, in the eyes of southerners, nomads don't seem very smart, so they are easy to deceive.
And don't you all say that in the history of mankind, the people of the Central Plains have always been able to deceive the grassland people around when doing business?
Thinking back at this time, although this young man is wearing a herdsman's robe, his speech and behavior are not much different from those of southerners.
It's just that Su Lei hasn't seen grassland people much before, so he doesn't have the ability to distinguish them.
Su Lei glanced at the horse team behind the young man. He could only replace one-tenth of the fur there, maybe not even one-tenth.
The young man comforted: "You don't have to be depressed, of course I won't do business with you at the price in the market town. After all, everyone has something to earn and has a future, right?"
Su Lei cheered up: "Then how do you plan to discount?"
"In this way, I sell these furs to the barrier, and I will say three or four thousand for each piece, but I will count it as two thousand for you, so I don't need to say the profit. As for your things, I will pay according to the price in the market town I bought it. Besides, I will give you another 50 furs on credit as the cost of your next purchase. This is not a waste of time for you, right? On the day of next month, you will bring me a full 100,000 yuan Goods will do."
Su Lei was overjoyed. Although the profit was much less than what he expected, it was definitely not without profit!
Moreover, the fact that the other party was able to give him fifty furs on credit was like being stuffed with a pillow when he was dozing off. What is he missing now? Isn't it the capital?
But Su Lei was a little puzzled: "Aren't you afraid that I will curl up your fifty furs and run away?"
You know, this is more than 100,000 things.
The young man smiled: "You have sincerely ran hundreds of kilometers to see me. I believe you are not short-sighted. If you do business in a down-to-earth manner, the future earnings may be comparable to those fifty dollars. How many times or tens of times or hundreds of times is Zhang Fumao higher? The pros and cons of this are up to you to weigh."
Of course, this is also because things like fur are really worthless to a young man, he has a lot of them!
A sudden business came to an end soon. The herdsmen behind the boy loaded all the goods brought by Su Lei and the others on the horse, and left happily.
One thing that is not satisfying is how most of the furs are brought and brought back. After all, Su Lei and the others are too poor, and the goods they bring are too few...
On the way back, a man said guiltily to the young man: "Master, the people I sent out can't do the job. I didn't expect to find such a poor horse bandit."
The young man smiled and said: "Hassan, don't worry about the gains and losses at this moment. I believe this group of people will bring us surprises next month. We need to take a long-term view. Now he is just a small horse bandit, but one day he will It will become a big businessman. At that time, I can get you some automatic rifles for fun. You know, there are quite a lot of arms dealers in the south. Other tribes on the grassland are still just trying to grab some from the Central Plains. What level, but in fact, doing business is the safest way, I will not come next month, you can bring someone here, and you will be responsible for this matter in the future."
"Okay master," Hassan replied respectfully, "then master, can you let the wolves escort me?"
The young man laughed loudly: "Hassan, don't be afraid of them, I will let the wolves accompany you, but the wolves can't appear without danger, I'm afraid they will frighten these new 'friends'."
