Zhang Zeyuan looked at the two extra large bags of sugar in the store, as if in a dream.
He walked to the sugar and kicked the bag of sugar with his feet. His toes felt numb, and he was convinced that he was not dreaming.
Due to the large influx of Japanese goods into Haigu, prices in Haigu continued to fall.
However, in recent times, students have proposed opposing smuggling and suppressing Japanese goods, which has quickly become an important part of the anti-Japanese and national salvation activities of people from all walks of life.
When encountering someone smuggling Japanese goods, students would even attack them in groups and burn them.
Recently, the number of Japanese products on the market has suddenly decreased a lot.
Sugar was originally a commodity in short supply. It was easy to sell in the past, but it is even easier to sell now.
The only thing that worried Zhang Zeyuan was that Lu Chengzhou came in a hurry and didn't explain anything clearly.
He can weigh the weight of sugar, but the price of sugar is really difficult to evaluate.
However, it was difficult for Zhang Zeyuan to ask Lu Chengzhou.
After all, Lu Chengzhou was an inspector, and he, a common man, would be asked to go to many places by Lu Chengzhou in the future.
Early the next morning, Zhang Zeyuan opened the store. When he saw two large bags of sugar on the ground, he called the waiter in the store and moved to the back to wave.
Zhang Zeyuan personally wrote a note and posted it outside: Our store supplies a large amount of sugar at a favorable price, 1.2 cents per catty.
The current wholesale price of sugar is 1 dime, and Zhang Zeyuan only sells it for 1 dime and 2 cents, which is considered the real lowest price.
He mainly wants to cash out quickly, otherwise, the price can be sold for two cents more.
In fact, four hundred pounds of white sugar, at the price of one dime, only costs forty yuan.
Zhang Zeyuan can still get this little money.
Last night, Lu Chengzhou called him to open the door in the middle of the night and forcefully handed him two large bags of sugar. How could he dare to give money until he understood it.
Zhang Zeyuan is a cautious person, otherwise, his Zhangji diary store would have been unable to open long ago.
"Boss Zhang, business is booming."
While Zhang Zeyuan was busy at the counter, he suddenly heard Lu Chengzhou's voice.
"Officer Lu, you are here." Zhang Zeyuan quickly walked out from behind the counter and said respectfully.
"You go ahead and I'll come and see how the sugar sales are going?" Lu Chengzhou said.
When he arrived at No. 51 Road just now, he saw people queuing outside. When he took a closer look, he discovered that it was Zhang Ji's Daily Grocery Store.
Last night, Lu Chengzhou said he wanted to get some Japanese goods. At that time, he was just doing it to deal with Chen Deming.
Unexpectedly, Chen Deming and Li Wanliang took it seriously.
After settling the bill, Lu Chengzhou only had twenty yuan left.
As a result, Li Wanliang helped him get two sacks of sugar, a total of four hundred kilograms.
"It's estimated that they will be sold out by the afternoon. If it's convenient for you, just come over and check out in the afternoon." Zhang Zeyuan nodded and bowed.
"No rush." Lu Chengzhou waved his hand. He had never thought about making money in this way.
However, when Lu Chengzhou received the forty yuan from Zhang Zeyuan in the afternoon, he was moved.
In one day, twenty yuan turned into forty yuan. Isn’t this money coming too fast?
If it's two hundred yuan, can it be turned into four hundred yuan?
"Boss Zhang, do you still want these Japanese goods?" Lu Chengzhou asked casually.
"This..." Zhang Zeyuan hesitated, but there was no problem with Lu Chengzhou's goods.
But there are still two problems. First, it is difficult for him to negotiate the price.
Lu Chengzhou is in charge of Road No. 51. If Lu Chengzhou is not satisfied, he might get into trouble.
Secondly, Lu Chengzhou’s supply of goods may not be sufficient.
This is a taboo in business. If there is sugar today, it will be out of stock tomorrow, it will be available the day after tomorrow, and it will be out of stock the day after tomorrow.
Even if it is available for a period of time or not for a period of time, not only will the business not be done well, but its reputation will also be in question.
"If it's a price issue, it can be cheaper." Lu Chengzhou thought Zhang Zeyuan was worried about not making money.
"I wonder how much supply the police officer can provide? Or can he ensure sufficient supply?" Zhang Zeyuan said slowly.
"Well, I can provide you with as much as you want." Lu Chengzhou smiled.
He only learned last night that when it comes to specific tasks, Li Wanliang, the squadron leader, is better than Chen Deming, the deputy squadron leader.
Chen Deming was not in charge of specific affairs, but Li Wanliang's squadron leader happened to be in charge of the dock in Yangcun and patrolled several warehouses.
"If the road police officer really wants to do the sugar business, it's best to have a warehouse. In this case, the price can be higher." Zhang Zeyuan reminded.
If Lu Chengzhou had a warehouse, he could buy as much goods as he wanted. At least he wouldn't have to worry about suddenly running out of goods.
"Let's do this. I will provide you with five hundred kilograms of sugar every day, and the price will be eight cents per kilogram." Lu Chengzhou asked.
"Five hundred pounds a day? This is just a grocery store, not wholesale." Zhang Zeyuan said in embarrassment.
Of course he wants to do wholesale, but with five hundred pounds a day, he can only be considered a second-hand dealer.
Even if it's five hundred kilograms, he can't digest it in one day.
"So, I can only find someone else?" Lu Chengzhou frowned. Last night, he did find a random shop.
Lu Chengzhou was in charge of three streets, and the shops on these streets had to give him some face.
"If the road police officer can help and say hello to the other shops on No. 51 Road and let them buy sugar from the small shop, then it will be no problem." Zhang Zeyuan said hurriedly.
Doing business with Lu Chengzhou is an opportunity for Zhang Zeyuan.
In the sugar business, you will never lose money. If you can supply the entire No. 51 Road with sugar, five hundred kilograms a day is not too much.
"I can also say hello to Kang Bonan Road and No. 24 Road." Lu Chengzhou said disapprovingly.
Isn't it just a matter of speaking? Lu Chengzhou thought there was no problem.
"Five hundred pounds a day is absolutely no problem." Zhang Zeyuan said happily.
Lu Chengzhou is a deputy inspector. In his jurisdiction, when promoting white sugar, others have to give him some face.
The reason why Zhang Zeyuan was happy was not because he could wholesale sugar, but because he had colluded with Lu Chengzhou.
If the sugar sells well, it will also drive other goods in the grocery store in the future.
In the evening, Lu Chengzhou went to the tavern in Yangcun again.
Tonight, neither Chen Deming nor Li Wanliang came, so Lu Chengzhou had no choice but to go to the Yangcun Security Brigade to visit him.
"Brother Lu, why are you free today?" Chen Deming said in surprise when he saw Lu Chengzhou.
If he knew Lu Chengzhou would come, he would go to the pub early in the morning and wait.
There is wine and meat every day, it is simply a life lived by a god.
"Send money to Brother Chen." Lu Chengzhou took out two silver coins and handed them to Chen Deming.
According to what was said yesterday, Lu Chengzhou needs to give Chen Deming and Li Wanliang each 10% of the profit.
"Why are you so embarrassed?" Chen Deming said politely, but he turned his palm and put away the silver dollar.
"If you don't accept it, how can we have long-term cooperation in the future?" Lu Chengzhou said pretending to be unhappy.
"Okay, call Li Wanliang and let's celebrate together." Chen Deming said with a smile.
