Chapter 408 Talking About Business (3)
The three of them discussed it for a long time but failed to come up with a good result. Manbao had no choice but to angrily eat all the meat on the table and asked Keke in his heart, "Koko, do you have any good ideas?"
Keke searched for a series of case studies on marketing in the encyclopedia and said: "Since the host wants to have a monopoly, why not buy up all the wheat in the village?"
Man Bao widened his eyes slightly and asked, "How can I have so much money?"
Keke said: "This is a limitation of the host's own resources. I have already expected this, and there is nothing I can do about it."
Man Bao felt that Ke Ke had gone bad, so he picked up another chopstick of food. After eating, he looked at Bai Shan Bao and asked, "How much money do you have?"
Bai Shanbao asked warily, "What are you doing?"
"What if we buy all the food in the village?"
Bai Shanbao stared, "How much will it cost?"
Bai Erlang said: "Didn't you say that everyone is waiting for the wheat to be eaten and will not easily take out food?"
Man Bao thought thoughtfully, "Then what if we buy wheat and come back to exchange it with them?"
Bai Shanbao added: "If you give me some more money, how much should I give? Five coins per bucket?"
"Too little," Man Bao despised him, "You are so stingy."
"This is not stingy. If I gave you too much, they would still be suspicious. When they exchanged wheat seeds with you last year, they exchanged one pound for one pound."
"That's different. They changed the wheat seeds to use them for planting. We changed the wheat seeds to use them to make a lot of money."
"It's the same for them," Bai Shanbao said: "If we don't change it, these wheat seeds will eventually turn into food and be eaten by them. And have you ever thought about it, if we can't sell it, what will happen in the end?"
This wheat will fall into our hands, and we may have to sell it out at a lower price than before, which is equivalent to us not only losing five cents per bucket, but may also lose more."
Bai Shanbao said: "So actually I don't want to give you a penny more. I want to exchange one pound for one pound."
"That's right," Man Bao then thought of the risk, and thought belatedly: "What if Uncle Bai doesn't buy wheat seeds?"
"If we continue to sell it as wheat, what else can we do?" Bai Shanbao spread his hands.
Bai Erlang was a little confused. He didn't understand a lot of what Bai Shanbao said just now, so he asked directly, "Then are we making money or losing money?"
The two treasures said in unison: "Look at your dad!"
Man Bao said: "If your father buys it, then we will make money."
Bai Shanbao said: "If your father doesn't buy it, then we will lose money."
"Did you lose much?"
Bai Shanbao thought for a while and then said: "Not only will this harvest be lost, but the subsequent summer and autumn harvests will also be lost."
After all, there are more than 60 households in the village, and more than 50 households originally exchanged seeds from Lao Zhou's family. With so many families growing wheat, even if one family grows five or six acres, that's a lot.
Bai Erlang was unhappy when he heard this, "Then why should we do it? It's better to just sell the wheat to my father at a cheaper price. One hundred and twenty coins won't work, so just one hundred coins."
Bai Shanbao said of him, "He has no ambition!"
Manbao also said: "It's just a loss of one or two years' harvest. It's Shanbao's money, and he doesn't want interest. If you take the risk, you can make a lot of money. Why not do it?"
Bai Shanbao said: "Who said I don't want interest?"
"You still have to pay interest when borrowing money from your own people, you're stingy!"
Bai Erlang also scorned: "Stingy!"
Bai Shanbao: "If you keep doing this, I won't play with you anymore!"
For the sake of money, Man Bao expressed his willingness to bow his head, so he immediately offered him some food.
Bai Erlang was very stubborn. He snorted and turned away, saying: "I also have money."
Man Bao: "Why do you have money?"
"My mother has been keeping my New Year's money, and it's much better."
"Then can you get the New Year's money from your mother?" Man Bao expressed doubts, "My sister-in-law and the others have taken the New Year's money from my nephews and nieces and never given it out. It's no use to them no matter how hard they wallow."
"Are your sisters-in-law and others greedy for ink?"
Man Bao sighed, "My sister-in-law said, 'You don't need money to eat, you don't need money to wear clothes, and you don't need money to get sick? All the money is spent on you.'"
The two little boys were stunned when they saw Man Bao standing on the squat and pinching his waist, and then burst into laughter.
Bai Erlang said there was no need to worry, "I know where my mother hides her private money. If she doesn't give it to me, I will get it secretly."
Bai Shanbao and Manbao hesitated, "Isn't it bad to steal things?"
"That's my own New Year's money. How can taking my own money be considered stealing?"
"What should we tell Uncle Bai when he comes later?" Man Bao asked.
Bai Erlang said: "Just tell me directly."
"No!" The two treasures refused at the same time, and Bai Shanbao said: "If my cousin knew about it, he would definitely have someone take the money to buy wheat from the villagers."
Man Bao nodded, "We have to delay and buy enough time."
Bai Shanbao said: "We still have to buy grain. Alas, I don't know how long it will take to buy it. But the grain store clerk said that no one wants to sell grain. Where can I ask Bai Zhuang to buy it?"
Man Bao also sighed, "It would be great if I could buy it directly from Uncle Bai. Their family has grown so much winter wheat that they will definitely not be able to eat it all. They must sell it, right?"
"Yes, my family will definitely sell food."
Man Bao and Bai Shanbao looked at each other, and then looked at Bai Erlang. Bai Erlang's eyes were bright and he said excitedly: "Are you going to buy grain from my family, then exchange it for wheat seeds and resell it to my family?"
"No!" Bai Shanbao patted his head and said, "Why are you so stupid? If we really do this, my cousin will be angry."
Man Bao said: "This is a profiteer. We are not profiteers."
"Then what are you watching me do?"
Bai Shanbao said "hum".
Man Bao said: "You are so stupid. Among the three people here, besides yours, which one has a lot of land and can grow a lot of winter wheat?"
"your home."
Man Bao puffed up her cheeks, not wanting to recognize this junior brother. She pointed at Bai Shanbao and said, "It's his home!"
Bai Erlang looked at Bai Shanbao, "His family only has a few acres of land, and it was given to him by my family."
"You're so stupid. My family doesn't have land here, but my family has it somewhere else."
"Then it won't take long to transport it?"
"It's necessary, so we must delay time. You can't let it slip," Man Bao thought for a moment and said, "No, you're too stupid. Otherwise, you tell your father that you decided to study hard and study hard in the next two days."
Shanbao, let’s live together.”
Bai Shanbao was disgusted, "I don't want to live with him."
