When he arrived at the five-star hotel arranged by Fairy Company, Guan Shantang's face was still red and he looked deeply shocked.
There was nothing he could do about it. During the real estate speculation battle, Xiao Qi took advantage of the situation and beat him so hard that he almost couldn't stand up, leaving a huge shadow on him.
As a result, Xiao Qi angrily scolded him a few words today, which made Guan Shantang feel frightened and out of his mind.
If I had known better, I wouldn't have interrupted.
Guan Shantang sighed and recalled.
His ability is not strong, that is, he relied on Yang Hua to make a fortune. This time when he was speculating on real estate in Chengdu, he was reluctant to quit, so he ended up where he is now.
If Xiao Qi hadn't let them go in the end, there's no telling what would have happened to the three of them.
"Bang bang"
There was a knock on the door. Guan Shantang looked through the peephole and then opened the door.
Yang Hua, who had changed into more casual clothes, walked in with a smile, "What? Are you still angry?"
"I dare not say the word "angry". How can I have the ability and courage?" Guan Shantang said with a bitter smile.
"It's okay not to be angry. We have no right to be angry with others." Yang Hua sat on the sofa, "But Lao Guan, you are really not very smart this time. You have achieved a little bit, but you forgot that Qi Shao is
You don’t even think about it, even if we earn 100 million US dollars in the UK, so what? Qishao earns dozens of times more than us, and he already has assets of more than 1 trillion US dollars, what are you going to do with him?
You dare to be angry than? Fortunately, you are not angry, otherwise today would be miserable. Hou Mutai will definitely add insult to injury to you."
"This Hou Mutai is really nothing." Guan Shantang thought of the previous scene, "After all, we are in the same boat, why do you want to add insult to injury to me like this?"
"He was not the same group as us, and it has been like this from the beginning to now." Yang Hua said lightly, "We are just a group put together by Qi Shao. Once our mission is over, everyone will go their separate ways.
We don't owe each other anything at all. Only you and I are friends in the trenches."
"But this time, this guy took the lead. He actually took the lead." Guan Shantang said regretfully.
"It's nothing, I'm not familiar with this matter anyway. Let him show off." Yang Hua stretched, "Hou Mutai is still young, so naturally he hopes to join Qi Shao's line. But I am old, and after completing the British
With this amount, I am going to retire with the profits and dividends. It is US$100 million, which is enough for me and my family."
"That's right." Guan Shantang finally understood why Yang Hua acted so calmly this afternoon.
Although Yang Hua's previous wealth was more than this amount, after such a big storm, he lost all his money, so Yang Hua saw through it and decided to close the deal after finishing this.
Considering that we are both in our sixties, it is of course impossible for us to fight as hard as Hou Mutai, who is in his thirties.
"Then I will be like you and retire after finishing my work in the UK." Guan Shantang quickly made his decision.
"This is the best. The two of us can take our family and children and travel around the world." Yang Hua nodded, "This time I have lived in the United States and the United Kingdom for so long. I really feel a lot of different places.
, it’s time to take a walk and take a look.”
…
Hou Mutai felt very strange. Guan Shantang looked like he hated himself yesterday. Why did he look so indifferent when he went out today?
But who cares, as long as I please Qi Shao and complete Qi Shao's tasks neatly, that will be the greatest blessing.
While thinking, Hou Mutai and the other two took a car to the Cultural District of Rongcheng City.
Wenjian District was originally a county, but when the Chengdu area expanded, it directly became a district of Chengdu. The agricultural products here are very developed, and the garlic planting area exceeds 100,000 acres. The annual production capacity reaches 120,000 tons.
The picking period of garlic is from late May to June, and it is already October. It has already been picked.
But as mentioned before, so much garlic is produced at once. The market cannot digest it, so people usually put garlic in cold storage and take part of it every month to supply the market.
This will neither waste nor cause the market to be out of stock, but at the same time, it will also give opportunities to speculators.
They only need to buy part of the garlic, and then publicize the news that there is a shortage of garlic and that the price will rise. Then more people who own garlic will stop shipping and wait for the price to rise before selling.
That's it now.
Walking along the road, one can see that there are cold storage warehouses one after another on the ground in the Cultural Construction District. In addition to garlic, there are other crops in them.
Accompanying Hou Mutai and the others was a deputy district chief of the Cultural District. His flattering attitude was completely unlike that of an official. Thinking that Xiao Qi had asked his father's secretary to help arrange the arrangements, Hou Mutai and the others did not.
It's strange, because the secretary and mayor of Chengdu City is Xiao Qi's father.
The deputy district chief was naturally familiar with the local garlic merchants. After taking the three of them around, they returned to the government office in the town, where several garlic merchants were already waiting.
"Boss Hou and the others are merchants from out of town. They want to purchase a large amount of garlic. Let's talk about it." After introducing the two parties, the deputy district chief sat aside and let them talk on their own.
But obviously, everyone knows that he is sitting here in charge.
"Boss Zhang, I heard that you have 20,000 tons of garlic." Hou Mutai said straight to the point, "I don't care what your purchase price is. The current price of garlic is 25 yuan per catty. I will increase the price by 20 yuan for you to buy them all.
3 yuan a pound, what do you think?"
The somewhat honest-looking Boss Zhang smiled and said, "Boss Hou, the price you offered is good, but we all feel that the market price will continue to rise, so we don't have the intention to sell everything now. If you really want it,
I will give you 5,000 kilograms at 3 yuan per kilogram, do you think this is okay?"
"Yes, I will also give you 2,000 kilograms at this price." Another boss Wang said.
"I also sell 2,000 kilograms." Boss Xu continued.
"I know you are waiting for the price to continue to rise, but have you ever thought that if it rises to a certain level and is suddenly suppressed and plummets, will the garlic in your hands still be valuable?" Yang Hua asked with a smile.
"Suppression?" Boss Zhang laughed, "How is that possible? In the past few years, the price of garlic has been low, and everyone has suffered losses. It is not easy to have this expectation of price increase. If the state suppresses it, wouldn't it mean that people will give up growing garlic?
"
It can be seen that although this boss Zhang looks like a township entrepreneur, he has good vision and vision.
"If it rises to a certain level, then it is definitely appropriate." Yang Hua said, "But if the price of garlic rises to 5 yuan, 8 yuan, or 10 yuan, do you think the state should intervene? Just catch a few leaders who are hoarding it."
Damn it, you small and medium-sized garlic merchants, don’t you have to be scared and throw away your goods? If everyone throws it away, you may not be able to keep it for 3 yuan.”
"We can wait until it costs 5 yuan and then throw it away." Boss Wang said with a smile, which also illustrates their psychological price, which is basically doubling the price of 25 yuan.
With Xiao Qi paying the bill, Hou Mutai is certainly not short of money, but if he spends too much money, it will not show his ability.
"Five yuan is certainly good, but what my friend just said is just a rough figure." Hou Mutai said, "You sell it here for 5 yuan a catty, and if you go through two hands with the middleman and a small vendor, then at least
It’s time for the price to be 8 yuan per catty. Do you think 8 yuan per catty of garlic is not an exaggeration? It’s you greedy people who are being beaten.”
"If I were you, the original purchase price was only two or three cents per catty, and it would be enough to increase it by 10 times and sell it. If you are greedy, you may cause trouble." Yang Hua continued, "Although high profits are very exciting,
But it's best to be safe, right? There are so many people who can't sell at high prices. Do you dare to say that with your capital, you will be the best person to sell at a high price? Over there in Ludong
Garlic merchants have storage capacity of hundreds of thousands of tons, so who do you think they are?"
"Then why don't you buy them?" Boss Xu asked.
"Because they are more greedy and we don't like such people." Hou Mutai said.
"You bought it just to make money. Aren't you afraid that you will also be tricked?" Boss Zhang asked rhetorically.
"Haha, who said we want to make money?" Hou Mutai shrugged, "We are just entrusted by others to keep the price of garlic down."
"Suppression?" The three garlic merchants were stunned. Would the merchants be so kind?
"Whether you believe it or not, you can see it after a while. Then you will know how correct it is to sell garlic today." Hou Mutai said lightly, "If you don't sell it, I believe the price is 3 yuan.
Those smaller garlic dealers are definitely willing to sell, but not everyone’s funds can support it.”
Listening to this, the three of them looked at each other.
They didn't believe what Hou Mutai said was to suppress the price of garlic, but it is true that the price of garlic has increased a lot now.
If the garlic price really sold from them is 5 yuan, then it will definitely be 8 yuan or more in the market. With such an exaggerated price, everyone who sells it will be a little scared. Who dares to buy more and sell it?
Selling intermittently like this is really not as good as selling them all at once.
They are all people who have been in the garlic business for many years, so naturally they also have an account in mind.
Excluding procurement costs, storage costs, etc., it is already a very good business to earn seven or eight times the profit on one business.
"32 per pound, all our goods will be given to you." After discussing in a low voice for a while, Boss Zhang reported the price.
"no problem"
Hou Mutai and Yang Huaguan Shantang discussed it and readily agreed.
Although it’s more expensive, it’s good to have the deal done, and it’s a good start. To be continued.
