344 This is fate

The old friend hurriedly made a gesture of silence, and mysteriously pulled Grandfather Su to a side alley. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he regretted:

"Oh, if I had known that those who sold their land first would have been able to get Xu Jiajun's bid, I would have sold it a long time ago!"

"Xu Jiajun's salt, sugar, porcelain, ironware, and cloth, which business is not a sure profit?

"I regret now. I regret not sending my son to Yan's school like the Liang family. Otherwise, how could my son not know such good news?"

The county is so big, and there are only a few powerful families. When Grandpa Su heard this, he knew that the old man was talking about Boya of the Liang family.

This guy is really awesome now. He has been on the line with the leader of the Xu family for a long time. It is normal to have some inside information.

"What happened? What business did the Liang family get?" Grandfather Su asked curiously.

Grandfather Su passed on the position of head of the family to his eldest son a few years ago. He took his wife to the county town to enjoy a happy life with his younger son's family. He had been idle for many years. In addition, the younger son's family was doing government affairs-related work in Xu Jiajun. The changes in the business

, he really didn’t know at all.

I just heard from neighbors that the wealthy households in the past took the chips they got from Xu Jiajun's land sales and started doing business with Xu Jiajun again.

Moreover, the business seems to be doing very well, and some people who were not doing well in the past have climbed up and surpassed their old employers by taking advantage of this stock wind.

There were many such examples, but Grandpa Su just ignored them as news. After all, they had nothing to do with his family.

The boss of the family had just been released from prison not long after being sued for his wife and concubines, so how could he dare to come forward to delve into these benefits?

Needless to say, the youngest son was bossed around by the Xu Jiajun. He had to stay up late and study at night after returning home from official duties every day, just to take the Xu Jiajun's unified civil service examination next year in an attempt to return to politics.

Everyone is busy, who cares about Xu Jiajun's business?

Now that an old friend mentioned it, Grandpa Su remembered to learn more about the situation outside.

An old friend said: "The Liang family is lucky. They have the right to sell wholesale sugar. Brother Xu Jiajun, you also know how popular it is. How much do you think Xu Jiajun will sell for such a good product?"

Grandfather Su made a bold guess: "Fifty-six thousand and one stone? I'm talking about the new measurement. One stone of Xu Jiajun is 120 kilograms. Am I right?"

The old friend nodded first, then shook his head violently, "The price is right, the price is too much."

Grandfather Su guessed again: "Only four thousand and one stone? This can't be true."

My old friend still talks too much.

At this time, Grandma Su who was following her was shocked and said: "It's not like two thousand dollars for one stone, right? Are they still making money?"

Unexpectedly, the old friend still shook his head. Seeing that the couple could not guess, he told the answer with a heartbroken look on his face.

"The fine icing sugar as white as snow costs only 1,400 Xujiachou per stone, which is equivalent to less than 12 Xujiachou per pound!"

The couple were stunned.

They had sensed the pride of the Xu family from the prices at the various Xu family noodle restaurants in the city.

But I never expected that the Xu family would be so rich. It was simply unexpected.

Compared with bulk commodities such as salt and sugar, these small shops in the city are nothing more than a handful.

To do business, you need to make a profit. Xu Jiajun is not the one who takes advantage of them. They are smart. They dare to sell one stone of white sugar for 1,400 chips. This shows that the cost of the sugar in Xu Jiajun's hands is much lower than people imagine.

One pound is equivalent to less than twelve pieces of Xujiazhuo. Now workers in the city can get twenty yuan a day. Who can't afford candy in the future?

Is this just a casual meal?

When the old friend saw the couple's reaction, he knew that they had not gone out to buy salt and sugar for a long time.

He asked doubtfully: "Didn't Xu Jiajun open a convenience store? Have you ever gone in to buy sugar and salt?"

"Is this something you can buy casually?" Grandma Su asked in confusion.

The old friend had no choice but to say, "That's all old history. Nowadays, if you want to buy sugar and salt in the city, you can go to convenience stores, but the retail price and wholesale price are definitely different, and they are more expensive."

"But Xu Jiajun's prices are basically fixed. They are all the same price in Yuyang County and are rationed. Each person is only allowed half a catty of sugar per month, so the smart guy is ready to buy at a low price and sell at a high price.

That is impossible."

"Those who can sell it are those who have obtained wholesale sales licenses."

"Oh~, the more I talk about it, the more I regret it." My friend sighed: "I knew it was like this, I knew it was like this."

If he had known this, his old friend couldn't continue talking, but Grandpa Su knew what he was regretting.

Don't you just regret not responding to Xu Jiajun's call earlier in exchange for a bidding quota?

Grandfather Su secretly thought, if he had known earlier, I would have let my eldest son have sex!

The two old brothers looked at each other and sighed in unison, this is fate.

But now there is still a way to go for glasses. Grandpa Su encouraged:

"There must be a lot of people who can use these glasses. If you leave our Yuyang County and go outside, those big households are not short of money. Brother, if you really want to do this business, go boldly and try it."

"I think Xu Jiajun is quite easy to talk to. As long as you follow their rules, everything will be done very easily."

After that, fearing that his old friend might not believe what he said, Grandfather Su added: "I didn't say these words, it was said by this kid Su Ci."

Su Ci works behind Xu Jiajun every day. If he says this, the credibility is quite high.

My old friend thought about it and decided to give it a try.

He was an impatient man, so he did what he said, said goodbye to Grandfather Su and his wife, and hurried to the health center.

Grandma Su just heard her old friend say that the convenience store sells sugar, and she couldn't bear it any longer. Seeing her old friend leave, she immediately dragged Grandpa Su towards the convenience store.

As if they were thieves, the two quietly entered the empty convenience store.

There was a clerk in the store, ordering goods on the shelves. There were seven or eight shelves in the store, filled with all kinds of goods. There were not many varieties, but if you looked carefully, you could see that they were all things that were difficult to buy in the past.

For example, refined salt, white sugar, white porcelain bowls and spoons, and dyed linen.

Linen is generally not dyed. This low-grade material is worn by the common people at the bottom. It is good to have something to wear when working in the fields. Why should we pay attention to color and style?

There are also undyed linens, but dyed linen is obviously more popular, because for city residents, colored silk cloth is too expensive and colorless linen is too light, so this colored linen is just right.

The price-performance ratio was so good that I couldn't refuse it. Grandma Su, who never wears linen, was moved by it when she saw it.

After asking about the price, I paid 350 for one horse, which was half a month's wages. The price was quite reasonable.

By the way, there are needles and cotton thread.

"What kind of cotton thread is this?" Grandma Su asked curiously.
