Not long after, Chen Yang's cell phone rang.
He answered the phone, then stood up and waved in a certain direction.
After a while, a motorcycle with three wheels suddenly came to the side of the two of them.
"Are you Boss Xiao Chen?"
A short, dark, thin man jumped out of the car and came to Chen Yang, speaking with a Cantonese and Guangxi accent.
"Hello, Boss Li, my name is Chen Yang, and I am a friend of Old Liu."
Chen Yang also said hello and introduced Wu Jun to him.
"This is my buddy Wu Jun."
Boss Li looked Chen Yang up and down, grinned, showing his white teeth, and reached out to pat Chen Yang on the shoulder.
"You handsome boy, welcome to Gui Province."
Boss Li's name is Li Shanxi, and he has been Liu's business partner for many years. But now that Liu is worth more, Li Shanxi can no longer help.
However, the elder Liu knew that Li Shanxi was quite a stable person, so he introduced Chen Yang to him.
All agents have their own territory.
Under normal circumstances, it is not possible to receive goods across sites.
So Chen Yang and Wu Jun took their luggage and went with Li Shanxi to where he lived.
Li Shanxi's family lives in a mountainous area. He drove the two of them on a tricycle and staggered all the way to his home.
His yard is very large, covered with asbestos tiles on all sides, and equipped with a proposed door, which can be regarded as a warehouse.
Li Shanxi has four children. His two sons have already started a family and have moved out.
There are only two daughters in the family now.
The eldest daughter is called Da Mei and she is about the same age as Chen Yang. The younger daughter is called Xiao Mei and is still in elementary school.
In the evening, the Li family cooked a large table of dishes to entertain the two of them.
Li Shan likes wine, and Chen Yang and Wu Jun are young and strong, at the age where they can drink. The three of them went back and forth, and got drunk alone.
That night, the two stayed at Li Shanxi's house.
Early the next morning, Li Shanxi invited the two of them to have morning tea again.
Morning tea is a local specialty, and the refreshments are also very rich, which is equivalent to breakfast in the north.
After having morning tea, Li Shanxi asked Chen Yang about his purpose.
Chen Yang didn't tell the truth, he just said he wanted to see.
Businessmen are very cautious and will not reveal their purpose easily, otherwise they will be at a disadvantage in subsequent transactions.
Li Shanxi didn't take it seriously and asked his eldest sister to act as their tour guide and take them around.
Once you live in his house, you are his guest.
The eldest sister drove the two of them to the surrounding markets in a tricycle.
This is the distribution center for peripheral by-products.
The eldest sister is an authentic girl from Guizhou province. She is dark, short and thin, with bright eyes and a lively personality.
She seemed a little curious about the two of them, asking questions about this and that along the way.
Chen Yang responded with a smile and then suddenly asked: "Sister, please take me to see the octagonal anise."
The eldest sister nodded and drove a tricycle to a compound.
There are many people coming and going outside the gate of the compound. This is an octagonal purchasing point.
The fruit farmers who grow star anise harvest the star anise and sell it to the star anise purchasing points in the market, and these people collect the star anise and supply it to buyers in various places.
In this market, there are more than a dozen octagonal buying shops, large and small.
After Chen Yang and Wu Jun walked in, they instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"The boss from out of town wants to take delivery of the goods? Let's talk inside."
A middle-aged man with big gold teeth grinned and pulled Chen Yang to go in.
Chen Yang smiled and did not move.
"Big Jinya, this is my dad's client."
The eldest sister parked the car and walked over.
"Oh, it turns out he is Brother Pao's friend. That's easy to talk about."
Da Jinya smiled and put away some of his thoughts.
Li Shanxi, nicknamed Li Dapao, was very famous in this area when he was young.
In their words, it can be covered.
This is why you must find a local broker when purchasing goods from other places.
Only if you go to local people, you will not be bullied.
Otherwise you will cry sometimes.
"Where does the boss come from?"
Da Jinya handed over a cigarette.
Chen Yang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Thank you, I don't need to smoke. Can I have a look at your goods?"
In fact, he also smokes, but he doesn't easily pick up cigarettes from others when he goes out.
This is also a lesson learned in blood.
Back then, a boss of the Medicine Street took a cigarette from someone outside, and then he felt dizzy and didn't know anything else.
When I woke up, all my money and goods were gone.
Ok, Ok!
Da Jinya hurriedly led the two of them into the warehouse.
The courtyard is covered with hardened ground, and the ground is covered with fresh anise.
After the fruit farmers pick fresh star anise, they send it to the purchasing point. The merchants at the purchasing point dry it and then package it for sale.
There are neatly arranged sacks in the warehouse, which are filled with finished goods that have been dried.
Chen Yang casually looked at the goods, and then chatted with Da Jinya and found out that he had about five tons in hand, and the price was about twelve yuan per kilogram.
Turn around again!
Chen Yang said goodbye to Golden Tooth, and under the leadership of his elder sister, he went to several purchase points to learn about the situation.
"Da Jun, if it weren't for my eldest sister, it would be very difficult for the two of us to get out of this courtyard."
Chen Yang said something meaningful.
Can’t get out?
Wu Jun was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "Is it so serious? Do they still dare to buy and sell by force?"
The eldest sister pursed her lips and smiled, but said nothing.
The folk customs in mountainous areas are fierce, so what is the point of buying and selling by force?
Push forward ten or twenty years, and there will be people who kill people and steal goods.
The mountains are so big. If you find a place to bury someone, who can find it?
But now that public security has improved, murder and robbery are definitely gone, but forced buying and selling, stealing and substituting are definitely indispensable.
Without the support of local people, you won’t be able to find a place to cry.
…
In the next two days, the master and the apprentice have been looking at the goods under the leadership of the elder sister.
Basically visited the entire mountainous area.
Li Shanxi can cover this mountainous area, and Chen Yang can safely receive goods here.
When he got home, Chen Yang was worried.
I have looked at the goods from several companies in the past two days, and the scattered items add up to about forty tons.
The quality also varies, but it's reasonable.
The highest price is 12 yuan, and the cheapest one is about 10 yuan.
It might be cheaper if Boss Li takes the initiative.
To be honest, there are many bosses from other places who come to buy anise, but they see more and buy less.
That's why so many goods are unsaleable here.
The octagonal anise currently being sold is of poor quality and high in price, so everyone is still waiting and watching, and no one is taking action.
Because the centralized delivery period in Bajiao will soon arrive, no one wants to take risks.
What if the goods sold later are cheaper than now?
Even if it is the same, the quality will definitely be better than what it is now.
What a great opportunity!
Chen Yang couldn't help but pinch Ren Zhong.
Don’t wait any longer, start now!
He had over 400,000 in his hands, while Wu Jun seemed to have only around 20,000 in his hands.
According to the current price, 420,000 can buy 389 tons, which is enough to load two semi-trailers. The goods here are enough.
Chen Yang decided to make a desperate move and collect a car first.
