The next morning.

Wang Manyin and Yang Dazhi ate something casually, and then came to the farmers' market.

The Farmers' Market is located at the junction of the east and west of the city, and covers a large area. Before the commercial economy of County B developed, it was the most prosperous area in County B.

Unlike the farmers' markets in towns, there are only a lot of people in the market on the day. The farmers' market in the city is very lively all year round.

But as the end of the year approaches, this crowded situation is even worse.

As he walked in, Wang Manyin saw many stalls for purchasing potatoes and more farmers who came to sell potatoes.

This is another difference between this farmers' market in the city and a township farmers' market.

Here, even if the price of potatoes falls again, there is still a potato trading business going on.

Wang Manyin casually found a stall to buy potatoes and stopped, and asked the stall owner about the purchase price.

The stall owner told him that 2 taels start with 2 cents, 3 taels start with 3 cents, 3 taels start with 4 taels start with 4 cents, if the potatoes of different quality and different weights are mixed together, 29 cents per pound.

"Has it fallen again?"

Wang Manyin said, during this period, the overall trend of potato prices seems to be changing volatility, rising today and falling tomorrow, without a stable direction.

However, this situation exists in all walks of life and all kinds of goods, and it is not a big deal.

Then, under the leadership of Yang Dazhi, Wang Manyin and his team arrived at the northeast corner of the farmers' market.

What caught my eye was a dilapidated storefront with a wooden sign standing at the door, which read: Hu Da Potato Purchase, these words.

"Cousin, are you here?"

Yang Dazhi walked into the storefront and opened his mouth and shouted a few words. Wang Manyin followed him in.

After walking in, I found that there was a yard connected to the storefront, which was quite large in size, with packed potato bags everywhere, and there were several storefront rooms on the north side.

A short bald middle-aged man was directing several workers in the yard to move the underground potato bags into the storefront.

After hearing Yang Dazhi's shout, he turned his head immediately.

"It's Dazhi, why are your kid here?"

It is obvious that this short bald middle-aged man is Yang Dazhi's cousin. His name is Hu Yongcheng. Because he has many brothers and sisters in the family and he is the eldest, he is nicknamed Hu Da.

Then Wang Manyin and Yang Dazhi were invited by Hu Yongcheng to a storefront room, and the latter handed them a bottle of canned food and a few walnuts to each of them, and they were very enthusiastic and polite.

After some conversation and introduction, Hu Yongcheng also learned about Wang Manyin's identity and even more about his purpose of coming this time.

"The price of potatoes this year is very strange. The price was very high a month or two ago, but there was a sharp drop some time ago, and then it was like this now, rising and falling. I have been in this industry for a long time, but I can't figure out the situation this year."

Hu Yongcheng sighed. The most feared thing about doing business is that he cannot figure out the overall trend of the price, which is easy to fall and make business afraid.

"According to the current price trend, no one dares to be sure what the price will be in the spring next year, but most people are not optimistic about the price of potatoes that will rebound in the spring next year. Therefore, as far as I know, there are not many people who choose to stockpile potatoes this year, and there are not even a few in total."

Hu Yongcheng handed Wang Manyin a cigarette and said so.

When Yang Dazhi introduced Wang Manyin just now, he always felt that he had heard the name "Wang Manyin" somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.

"Manyin, have you heard this? This year, everyone is basically not optimistic about the price of potatoes to rise in the spring next year. I think you should hurry up and take action while the price is not very low. Be careful not to pay more in the spring next year."

Yang Dazhi doesn't know how to do business, but he still knows the most basic loss. Since cousin Hu Yongcheng, a veteran who has worked for many years, is not sure about the price trend of potatoes this year, it means that there is indeed a great risk to continue hoarding potatoes and waiting until the spring next year to sell them.

Although there is a saying: business transactions can make profits and loses.

But as far as he knows, Wang Manyin is not the kind of person who has money. It doesn't matter if he occasionally pays once or twice. If Wang Manyin really pays it, it will probably be difficult to turn things around again.

He and Wang Manyin are old classmates, but they don’t want to see the scene where the old classmates lose money in business and can’t even lift their pants.

So I urged anxiously at this time.

However, Wang Manyin was very calm from beginning to end and did not take Yang Dazhi's anxious urging.

Instead, he crushed a walnut with his hands and asked Hu Yongcheng in a relaxed tone about his acquisition of potatoes this year.

"As of this year, I have purchased and resold about 760,000 kilograms of potatoes. I still have 330,000 kilograms of stock in my hand. I am considering whether these 33 kilograms of potatoes will be sold until the beginning of next spring or soon."

Hu Yongcheng thought for a while and said.

He is also a number one in the circle of potato dealers in County B, otherwise it would be impossible for him to buy and resell so many potatoes.

"Cousin, you have actually resold so many potatoes, you're really making a fortune."

Yang Dazhi said with some envy.

It is definitely not a joke to buy and resell potatoes that cost hundreds of thousands of yuan. Even if you make 100,000 yuan per pound of potatoes, you will have to make a profit of about 100,000 yuan.

Compared with people like cousin Hu Yongcheng who do big business, he is too immature and has a salary of 1,800 yuan a month.

Wang Manyin was a little surprised. He was not surprised how much money Hu Yongcheng made this year. He didn't expect that the little man who was not good-looking in front of him would have such outstanding strength.

Let’s not talk about how much money you can earn by reselling hundreds of thousands of potatoes. This capital alone is not something that ordinary people can do.

He bought the 800,000 potatoes, but he tried his best to do it.

Of course, he estimated that the 760,000 kilograms of potatoes that Hu Yongcheng had sold did not make much money in total, and the net profit was 70,000 yuan and it was overwhelmed.

"Oh, don't mention it, the thunder is so loud that it's raining. The price trend of potatoes this year, the 760,000 kilograms of potatoes I have sold basically didn't make much money."

Hu Yongcheng shook his head with some emotion.

"To be honest, I don't want to sell the 330,000 kilograms of potatoes I stocked up now. I plan to gamble and put them until the beginning of next spring, but I always feel that the quantity is too large. Once I lose, I will be confused."

Hu Yongcheng frowned again, looking hesitant.

This is in line with human nature.

"Manyin, how many potatoes do you still have in your hands now and don't sell them?"

Hu Yongcheng then looked up and asked Wang Manyin. His question also attracted Yang Dazhi's attention.
