Chapter 40 Debating Ghosts
"The cost of one dollar? What you said is simple. It's just an advantage that no one knows about yet. Believe it or not, in a few days, the price of this thing will skyrocket. By then, my shrimp will follow.
To increase the price or not to increase it? When doing business, you have no foresight at all, so there is no need to do it, just stay at home and dig the ground." Chen Meng sneered.
Even if you are not a businessman, you can still understand what Chen Meng means.
It's nothing more than a disguised admission, using foresight to temporarily take advantage.
Other customers may not understand what Chen Meng said, but Zhan Luer nodded frequently. If it were her, she would do the same thing. After all, the crayfish business is the only one that can do it. If she was the only one who could do it, she would definitely do it.
Also set the price high.
"It's ridiculous. You're simply distorting the facts. You haven't explained your true nature as a black-hearted profiteer." Zhang Mazi sneered.
"Why are you so anxious? Let me do the math for you. Even if, as you said, a pound of shrimp only costs one yuan to buy, then if I half-process it in advance, I will need half a barrel of soybean oil at one time. When I set up a stall here, I will need another half barrel.
Soybean oil, that is to say, one barrel of soybean oil is needed a day. The current price of a barrel of soybean oil is 25 yuan, which is still 40 yuan.
The amount of shrimp used is equal to the cost of 60 cents per pound...and gas. At least one tank of gas is needed a day. One tank alone costs 200 yuan, and one tank of gas costs 45 yuan. We don’t count it as a tank.
Money, a pound of phosgene shrimps costs one yuan and two..." Chen Meng said, his mouth was dry and he took a sip of water.
Zhang Mazi took the opportunity and said, "That only costs three yuan."
"I haven't finished yet. Why are you interrupting? You've eaten the chicken's chin? My sister and I get up early every morning to catch crayfish and process them. We're busy at night. We often don't even have time to eat.
It's time for a lunch break. After finishing the processing, it's more than an hour's journey to come.
Sold in the county town... If nothing else, the salary for the two of us is 300 yuan a month, which is 600 for two people. On average, it is 20 a day, plus 50 cents per catty. Then the cost of various spices and ingredients is 1.5 yuan per catty.
Well…that’s five yuan per pound.”
Chen Meng spoke eloquently.
My tongue hurts, but it only cost five fucking bucks.
I still have a dark heart.
Zhang Mazi is so stupid that I have to waste a lot of brain cells thinking...
However, when the customer heard that the profit per pound was only ten yuan, he was not so sinister.
Who knows.
Zhang Mazi sneered, "Now civil servants only get three hundred a month. Workers in the city can't get that much a month. You and Chen Xiaomei can't read each other, so why should we count it as three hundred a month?"
"What the hell do you know? I said three hundred is too little. Do you know how to handle these shrimps so that there is no sand? My little sister and I just brushed them with a brush. There are thousands of shrimps. Do you know how to brush them?"
How long? For this reason, we are both so tired that we cannot straighten our waists every day, and the pain is unbearable, so we can only drink painkillers to relieve the pain. Compared with other costs, physical health is a priceless cost." Chen
said angrily.
Well?
Brother lied.
It's not that exaggerated. I'm tired, but I'm not tired enough to take painkillers.
Chen Xiaomei lowered her head, holding back her laughter.
"These are minor, the most important cost is this..."
Chen Meng picked up a can bottle. Everyone saw that there was something black and red inside, and they were all curious about what it was.
I heard Chen Meng continue, "This is the sauce I made with ninety-nine and eighty-one special spices. This small bottle took a whole pot of medicinal soup and boiled it for five hours to make it so small.
The cost of a small bottle is around 500, which can only be used for five days, which equals a cost of 100 per day. On average, the cost of one kilogram adds nearly three yuan, and there is also money for the elderly.
The housekeeper’s rent is 20 yuan a day, and I will give away at least one bottle of beer to each customer. You can do the math for yourself. How many yuan can I make if I sell crayfish for 15 yuan per pound? It will cost less than 5 yuan for the two of us.
If you work so hard every day, get up early and go late at night, ride an hour's bicycle to the county town to do business, and earn a few dollars per pound, if you are still a black-hearted profiteer, then I have nothing to say."
What Chen Meng said was both sad and angry, but also calm.
No one present did not believe what he said.
When he suddenly said this, instead of being a black-hearted profiteer, I felt a little sympathetic to him. The brother and sister worked so hard from morning to night, and only earned them two or three yuan per pound of shrimp. It was simply kind.
But Zhang Mazi just didn't believe it, "A small bottle of any sauce costs 500 yuan. I wouldn't believe it to death."
"Believe it or not, what I'm telling you here is that a smart person will know what's going on with the various ingredients and methods of spicy crayfish at a glance. You can go back and try it yourself. If it tastes better than what I made, I'll
I smashed the stall on the spot and will not set up a stall from now on," Chen Meng said.
See what he said was sonorous and powerful.
The last trace of doubt among the guests was completely gone.
Someone took the initiative to stand up and pointed at Zhang Mazi and cursed, "You are so full that you can hold on. No matter how cheap the crayfish is, I am willing to spend 15 yuan a pound to buy it. It is none of your business."
"That's it, don't eat if you can't afford it. Don't think I didn't see it. You are the owner of the barbecue stall opposite. Seeing that Lao Chen's business is good, you are jealous and hateful, and you deliberately come to destroy the stall."
"If you don't get out of here, if you say another word, I'll call the police to deal with you."
The guests stood up one after another and helped Chen Meng speak.
Zhang Mazi was left speechless by a group of gangsters.
These people who can afford to spend 15 kilograms of crayfish are certainly not ordinary people. They may be related to which public security bureau. If they get angry, it won't be worthwhile to call the police to deal with them.
"Okay, Chen Meng, you have sharp teeth and a sharp tongue. I can't defeat you. Just wait and see. I will deal with you sooner or later."
Zhang Mazi said a harsh word, and the group of people left in despair.
"Thank you bosses for speaking up. All the beer tonight is mine." Chen Meng clasped his fists and said gratefully.
"Old Chen, everyone is so generous and you don't have to drink beer. You are too petty."
"That's right, let's just skip the crayfish money and treat everyone to a meal."
"You are all successful people, big bosses, and you are not short of these three melons and two dates. I am not good at it. I still hope that this business can save money to marry a wife." Chen Meng scratched his head and giggled again and again.
It made everyone laugh.
The cloud of unhappiness just now was swept away in an instant.
call!!
In order to lie, is it easy? I...
Not far away.
Zhan Luer looked at Chen Meng with a flash of brilliance in her eyes, "This guy is not only a marketing genius, but also a debate genius. He turned a crisis into a personal eloquence performance. I admire him."
"Miss Zhan, just now Chen Meng said that you can brush the crayfish one by one. I will try it when I get back." Wu Dasc said quickly.
"Even if you know how to clean the sand, what's the point? The bottle of sauce is the key."
