After two days and one night's drive, the two finally arrived in YL City, Guangxi Province.
YL City is not only the production area of star anise and cinnamon, it is also rich in medicinal materials such as dendrobium, Panax notoginseng, Luo Han Guo, and Red Cornus.
After getting off the car, Chen Yang found a security booth to rest, put down his luggage, took out a cigarette and handed one to Wu Jun.
Wu Jun took it, took out a lighter and lit it for Chen Yang first.
Chen Yang took a puff of cigarette, glanced at Wu Jun, and said with a smile: "How is it? You know you have worked hard, right?"
Wu Jun nodded.
From my hometown to Guangdong Province and then back to Guizhou Province, I took the train for two days and one night.
Two thousand years ago, there was no high-speed rail, and the rides were still the old-fashioned green cars.
There are many people, the speed is slow, and there is no air conditioning.
At noon, the entire carriage was filled with an unpleasant smell.
Several times, the two of them almost vomited.
In order to prevent it from being stolen, the two of them slept in shifts and took random bites when eating.
"Boss, it's really hard to be away from home. We used to envy our bosses, but we didn't know until today that it's not easy for bosses either."
Wu Jun also felt this.
hehe!
Chen Yang smiled: "It's good to know. Any reward comes with a price. Bosses make a lot of money, but they also suffer a lot, but you can't see it."
After taking a few puffs of cigarette, Chen Yang sighed: "Just be content. In the early years when my father was running a business, the situation was worse than this, the environment was even worse than this, but he still managed to survive."
In fact, there is an airport near his hometown, and Chen Yang is not short of air tickets. The reason why he chooses to travel by train is to experience the hardships of running a business firsthand.
After resting for a while, Chen Yang flagged down a taxi.
"Master, go to xxx."
"Hey, I'm a foreigner, do you want to go to xxx to receive the goods?"
The driver was in high spirits.
No!
Chen Yang said: "Come here to visit a relative. I haven't seen you for many years."
oh!
The driver stopped talking.
After arriving at the location, Chen Yang gave the money.
boss!
Wu Jun came up with his suitcase and asked puzzledly: "Why do you want to talk about visiting relatives?"
Chen Yang smiled and said: "When you go out, don't expose your profession and true purpose. Otherwise, you will be cheated."
If you are an out-of-towner who comes to receive the goods, the driver may try to charge you for the fare, but if you have relatives in the area, they probably won't dare to cause trouble.
I see!
Wu Jun nodded repeatedly.
The next step is to find a reliable local agent.
When receiving goods outside, you must go through a local broker, otherwise you will be cheated.
In his last life, although Chen Yang also made medicinal materials in Guizhou Province, he really never made seasonings.
So I am not too familiar with this industry.
But it doesn't matter.
Chen Yang was able to figure out the origin of the anise by relying on his impressions, so he could naturally find a reliable agent.
Seeing the two of them dragging their luggage, a group of locals hurriedly came over to greet them. There were men and women, all of whom were eating this meal.
"Boss, where did you come from?"
"Boss, do you want to receive the goods? Come to our house, the handling fee is low."
"Boss, come to our house to receive the goods. There is no handling fee."
Some aunts even use their hands and feet.
Bosses from out of town are all fat sheep. As long as they are brought back home, they will make money.
Chen Yang smiled and said, "Sorry, I've already made an appointment with Lao Li."
He casually covered up his last name.
Why Lao Li?
Because there are the most people named Li.
After hearing that Chen Yang had a master, everyone dispersed.
Of course, there are also those who are unwilling to give up and still pester Chen Yang, trying to get them to go home.
Chen Yang just ignored it.
Seeing how determined Chen Yang was, those who refused to give up dispersed.
"Boss, the aunt here is really..."
Just now Wu Jun didn't dare to express his anger and was sweating profusely.
hehe!
Chen Yang just smiled.
A good agent has no shortage of clients, and they won't block people here. The people who come here to block people are basically low-level people.
Once you go to their home, you may not receive the goods, but you will definitely spend less money.
After finding a hotel to stay in, Chen Yang asked Wu Jun to rest first and went out for a walk.
Most of the people staying in this hotel are businessmen from out of town.
Everyone comes from all over the world, gathered here to receive the goods, but it is still a little early to receive the goods.
The bosses are all familiar with each other. As soon as Chen Yang came out, several people came over to talk.
After chatting casually for a few words, Chen Yang suddenly spotted a familiar figure.
Liu, the elder of Lu Province!
In his last life, he had a very good relationship with his eldest brother, Liu, and they had known each other for years.
"Boss Liu, come and receive the goods!"
Chen Yang approached the elder Liu and said hello.
Old Liu was obviously stunned for a moment when he saw Chen Yang.
It seems that this young man does not recognize him.
"I, Chen Yang, am from Qiaochengyang County. Did we have a drink together last time?"
Chen Yang smiled and explained.
oh!
The elder Liu nodded. He also had business in Yang County. Maybe the two of them had drank together, but they just couldn't remember it for the moment.
He smiled, patted Chen Yang on the shoulder and said, "I am old and my memory is not very good. I'm sorry, Boss Chen. Why, are you here to receive the goods too?"
You are an old businessman, so even if you don't know him, you can't act too abrupt.
Chen Yang secretly curled his lips, this old man Liu was still so good at pretending. It was obviously the first time they met, but he pretended to be old friends.
However, this person is still very kind and fastidious in his work.
"I heard that the market for star anise is good, so I came over to take a look. Boss Liu, how has business been recently?"
"TOEFL, TOEFL, it's OK!"
Although I can't remember who this young man is, I can't say anything about Liu's response.
"Boss Liu, I just came here. How is the market of aniseed recently?"
“It has just been shipped, it’s early delivery, the price is high and the quality is not very good.”
Old Liu didn't hide it either.
Actually this is not a secret.
Star anise has just been released. The quality is poor and the price is high. Everyone is waiting to see what it is.
Old Liu Neng can talk, and Chen Yang can also say that after two cigarettes, Old Liu and Chen Yang became more and more speculative as they talked, and they felt as if they had not met for a long time.
"Boss Liu, I used to deal in medicinal materials. This is my first time doing star anise. Do you have a suitable agent? Can you recommend one?"
Chen Yang explained his intention.
Agents are also divided into three, six or nine levels. The first-level agents are powerful and have large capital, and they serve bosses with deep pockets.
For example, Da Lao Liu's agent Pu Gao.
Of course, Chen Yang's little capital is not as good as Pu Gao's discernment.
So I can only settle for the next best thing and find a small or medium-sized broker.
"This is simple..."
After a brief understanding of Chen Yang's lies, Liu took out his phone, flipped through the phone book, and found a number.
"Old Li, I have a little brother named Chen Yang. This is his first time here. Please take care of him."
After hanging up the phone, Old Liu smiled and said to Chen Yang: "This man's name is Li Shanxi, known as Brother Pao. He is a very nice person."
Then thank you very much, Boss Liu!
Chen Yang quickly thanked him.
"My brother, why are you so polite? If you need anything, just call me."
Elder Liu waved his hand.
