Chapter 213 Competition? Don't be afraid, you don't understand the big picture!
Li Qingxia was still a little worried, so Li Long agreed to sell the next day's fish in the county market.
Because the market is close, it took nearly an hour less time to go there. When the two of them arrived at the morning market, it was just dawn and the sun would not come out for more than half an hour. There were not many stalls set up in the market. .
Li Long and Li Qingxia found a relatively spacious place to set up their stall. Looking at the people passing by, Li Long started shouting.
Although Li Qingxia had sold fish three times with Li Long, he still felt fresh and a bit ashamed when he heard Li Long shouting about ditch fish and loach to strengthen his virility here without any embarrassment.
Of course, the effect is still as good as ever.
After recruiting people, Li Long stopped shouting and began to announce the rules.
“Don’t reach out to fish, don’t touch the fish, tell me which fish you want and I will catch it for you. Don’t worry, the scale will definitely give you a high one. If you make trouble, it will be everyone who suffers in the end, so please obey it. According to the rules, I promise to let everyone eat fresh fish - come on, the ditch fish costs two yuan, and the scale is high!"
With these words, everyone consciously lit their own fish. fish.
Many of them are old customers, and they will talk to each other about the freshness and benefits of the fish, as well as Li Long’s rules, which sounds new to others.
After a group of guests were sent away, the fish in several pots were reduced by one-third and some by a quarter. Li Long poured some more from the urea bag. The urea bag was originally filled with water, and although it was leaking along the way, the semi-sealed nature of the bag, coupled with the water retention of the mucus on the fish, allowed the fish in the basin to maintain basic breathing.
When the sun came out, half of Li Long's fish had been sold. At this time, the old stalls in the market were almost full. This black market was originally located on both sides of the road. In theory, it could be freely extended far away.
But further east is a fork in the road, and to the west is a public sector office compound, where by default it is impossible to set up a stall.
So the location is basically limited.
At this time, the stall is full, and the number of people coming and going to buy things has reached its maximum.
Li Long took advantage of the lack of people in front of the stall to straighten up and look on both sides, and found that in addition to selling handicrafts, there were also grain and meat sellers, and there were many more vegetable sellers.
And these vegetable stalls also have the most people.
Obviously, the state-owned vegetable stores in the county are not yet able to satisfy everyone's dining tables.
Another group of people came over, and Li Long and Li Qingxia were busy again.
Wang Caimi and Meng Zhiqiang came here at this time.
They saw three stalls selling fish. There is a stall that sells big fish, and another stall that only sells small crucian carp. They must have been caught from some small creek. Another stall has both large and small fish.
What surprised and excited them was that the prices of fish at these three stalls were very high. A kilogram of crucian carp was sold for 90 cents, large carps were sold for a piece, and trash fish were also sold for a piece!
The two people looked at each other, and then saw the golden light in each other's eyes - this is a way to make money!
To put it bluntly, there are many fish in Xiaohaizi. Even those without nets can catch several kilograms of crucian carp and miscellaneous fish every day as long as they swim in the big channel diligently every day.
If you sell it here, it will cost you a few dollars a day!
Who would have thought this fish could be so valuable!
No wonder the Li family's Xiaolong now rides a bicycle, has a gun, and buys a Li family carriage... Selling fish every day, how can he not make money?
Then they saw Li Long’s stall.
Compared with the other three fish stalls which were slightly deserted, Li Long’s stall was crowded with people. Watching Li Long and Li Qingxia taking the bills one by one, calling fish and settling accounts, the two stood there and watched for a long time.
After this group of people left, Li Long looked at the bills in his hand and saw Wang Caimi out of the corner of his eye.
"Hey, Brother Dalu, Old Uncle Meng." Li Long greeted with a smile, "Are you here on the street so early today?"
"Let's see the price of your fish sales." Wang Caimi knew that the matter could not be hidden. Come on, simply confess, "I heard people say that you make money selling fish, so I just wanted to come over and have a look. If I really want to make money, we will follow your path. What do you think?"
Wang The road shows the way, this is a conspiracy.
If he goes out of his way here and goes back to catch fish quietly, Li Long will look down on him.
Wang Caimi was also guessing what Li Long was thinking, wondering if Li Long would become angry if he said this.
After all, it is so profitable to catch and sell fish. If it were me, I would definitely stick to this road and not allow others to enter - of course, it is hard to say what method to use to stop it.
"Okay, why not!" Li Long said with a smile, "There are so many fish in Xiaohaizi, wouldn't it be good to have a few more fish sellers in our team? There are no fish sellers now. There are many. I have seen the fish at other fish stalls, and they are really not as good as those in Xiaohaizi.
If we have a few more fish sellers in our team and make a name for ourselves, we will definitely make more money in the future. ——As long as we don’t fight among ourselves and try our best to suppress Just pay the price."
"That shouldn't be the case." Wang Caimi immediately relaxed when he heard that Li Long agreed to wait for someone to sell fish. He actually didn't have much idea about the brand effect Li Long said. , but he is very confident that everyone will lower the price:
“Everyone wants to make money. As long as the fish can be sold at a higher price, who is willing to sell it at a lower price? Zhiqiang, don’t you think so?”< br>
"Yes, yes." Meng Zhiqiang relied on Wang Caimi's words at this time.
"It's hard to say..." Li Long shook his head slightly and said, "But you have to sell fish as early as possible. If you come late, there will be few people here, and the price will not be high. And try to keep the fish alive. , fresh ones are easy to sell..."
"Yes, yes." Wang Caimi didn't expect that Li Long would tell his experience, which surprised him, so he recommended it to others. Even if I don't secretly cause trouble, how can I still pass on my experience?
Li Long said a few words and another person came to buy fish. Li Long stopped the conversation and started calling people fish.
Wang Caimi looked at the price calculated by Li Long when he weighed the fish. It was a little lower than the prices at the previous two stalls. He felt a little disdainful. He thought that you were selling cheaper than others, but now he told everyone not to sell it. Price reduction, haha.
But seeing through it is not telling, Li Long told him so many experiences, and did not stop him from catching fish and selling them. As a "senior" in the market, this man of favor, king and wealth can recognize him.
"Uncle Li, Xiaolong, we are going to buy Internet. You are busy first." Wang Caimi watched for a while, watching Li Long keep collecting the tickets and calculating Li Long's income for the day. It was definitely more than thirty yuan, and my heart was burning, so I was anxious to leave the shopping website.
Li Long nodded, Li Qingxia waved his hand cheerfully, Wang Caimi turned around and left, and Meng Zhiqiang hurriedly followed.
"Xiaolong, you said these two...will he listen to you?"
"Then I don't care." Li Long smiled, "Selling in the county for two days Fish, I’ll go to Shicheng together. , Dad, you can rest assured. There are many people who want fish over there, and the price will not drop. There are many people in our team selling fish here. With their problems, the price will definitely drop. Then... dog bites dog. .”
Li Long knew the urinal nature of these "fishermen" in the team, but he had no idea and no obligation to care too much.
What I want to make is long-term money. Just the distance to Shicheng has already helped me filter out the vast majority of "fishermen". Thirty years later, there are still old fishermen in the team riding electric tricycles to sell fish at the gate of the community in Shicheng, and they are still very popular.
After all, the water system there is determined, and you cannot eat fish freely like the team.
Not to mention that side, not even the county. It’s just that the county is closer and the market is smaller. A few large reservoirs can meet the demand.
So Li Long was not worried at all.
Wang Caimi hurriedly left the market and walked around the department store first. He found no sticky nets, and then went to the sales department of the supply and marketing cooperative.
When he was planning to buy a mesh net, he ran into another difficulty.
"Dalu, do you want to ask Xiaolong?" Meng Zhiqiang asked in a low voice, "Xiaolong must know how big to buy..."
Wang Caimi shook his head and said:
"We can't rely on Xiaolong for everything." In fact, if he has money, it's no problem to buy ten or eight of them, but this thing has a cost-effectiveness issue. He was afraid that some of the mesh he bought would be useless. Wouldn't the few dollars be wasted?
He is not Li Long, a few dollars can go a long way!
After thinking for a while, in the salesperson’s eyes, he chose the three nets in the middle, namely three-finger, three-and-a-half-finger and four-finger.
Meng Zhiqiang didn't have that much money, so he spent a long time calculating the money and bought a three-and-a-half-finger net. Wang Cai was obsessed with the favor he told him about this "information" and lent him money again. He bought a four-finger net.
The two people left the supply and marketing cooperative holding the net and hurried home.
They didn't have bicycles and had to walk all the way back. By the time they got home, lunch was already over.
At this time, Wang Caimi realized that if he wanted to sell fish, he would have to get up early in the morning. After getting the fish, he would then walk all the way to the county town to sell the fish. After walking all the way, would the fish still be alive?
But the net has been bought, and it is impossible not to do it. The two of them went home separately, made an appointment to have lunch, rested for a while, and then went to Xiaohaizi to get off the net.
Li Long and Li Qingxia finished selling the fish. Looking at the time, it was about the same time as yesterday when they finished selling the fish in Shicheng.
"Dad, this is your money." Li Long gave ten yuan to his father, and he decided to give ten yuan to his father no matter how much he sold later.
Li Qingxia is not so much. He was not stupid, he knew that this was his son's filial piety, so he happily took the money and put it into the inner pocket of his clothes.
“Let’s go, Dad, let’s go to the market too.” Li Long poured out the water in the basin, packed up his things and buckled them on his bicycle, and said, “Let’s see if there are any good things, let’s buy them too. Let's go back soon."
"Okay." Li Qingxia had money in his pocket and nodded proudly, walking in front.
The few stalls selling fish are still open. Some fish have been sold, but there are still many fish to be sold out.
Li Long glanced at it and saw a stall that surprised him.
The stall owner swept a clean area on the ground and spread it with a black cloth. On the cloth were placed a handful of silver dollars, a snuff bottle, two porcelain bowls, a few jade handles, and a handful of copper coins. Money swords tied together.
If it were released twenty years later, Li Long would naturally know that this was definitely a "work of art" and he would not even take a glance at it.
But now, in this place, no one is doing anything fake, right?
That is definitely true.
Li Long pushed his bicycle to the stall, propped up the bike, squatted in front of the stall and asked:
"Boss, what are you selling?"
"I dare not call you boss." The stall owner was excited and waved his hand hurriedly, "Comrade, which one do you like?"
"Ask me. "Li Long understands the stall owner's caution. Although these things have been sold in recent years, a major event has only passed not long ago, and some memories of that era still remain in everyone's minds.
“A silver dollar is three yuan a piece, a snuff bottle is ten yuan, a porcelain bowl is a fine product from a folk kiln in the late Qing Dynasty, it is eight yuan, and that copper coin sword, you may not think it is copper coins, but it is a bit old, it is ten yuan. The remaining pieces of jade are of five pieces each. "
The jade pieces are of average quality and the carving is average, so Li Long puts them aside first. He didn't understand the silver dollar and didn't touch it, so he took the porcelain bowl and looked at it. Sure enough, it was from a folk kiln, so he smiled and said:
"You're from a private kiln, you dare to ask for eight yuan? Now you can go to the cultural relics store for eight yuan, and you can buy the official kiln."
"That's the capital." The stall owner didn't expect this. You are quite a knowledgeable person, so he said with a smile:
"Then what price do you want?"
"If your price is right, I will give you all the money." "I want it." Li Long said, "Two silver dollars. Is this a tangled porcelain bowl? Three dollars? A jade and an agate snuff bottle? Five dollars each... Do you have this thing at home?" What's the taboo? You can tell by yourself that the quality of these pieces of jade is just like that, so why should you treat it as an extra?"
Li Long's price is also harsh. The few terms in his mouth were learned from the treasure appraisal column in his previous life. Although those treasure appraisal columns were a mixed bag, they at least allowed ordinary people like Li Long to know some basic knowledge about antiques.
Of course, more is limited to learning a few words.
In fact, the price of the stall owner is not high. After all, the stall has been on display all morning and no one bought it. Everyone is not rich these days, and eating and drinking are a problem. Who has the spare money to buy this?
In the end, Li Long spent 40 yuan to buy everything in the stall.
He remembered hearing someone say on the video platform in his last life that at this time, there were a lot of cheap antiques in the country’s cultural relics stores, but it was a pity that ordinary people couldn’t buy them. Otherwise, he could really be impulsive and take the money to buy something in the capital or the capital to save.
Of course, just thinking about it.
Li Qingxia came over with two bundles of vegetables and saw Li Long packing these things happily - the stall owner even gave the cloth to Li Long - he hurriedly said to Li Long:
"Xiao Long, you buy it What's this thing for? It can't be eaten or drunk. Can you return it? There are so many of them back home...it's worthless! Dad, please go back. I'll bring you some money, and you can charge me more." Li Long said with a smile, "This stuff will be valuable in the future."
"It's all worth it," Li Qingxia said. He raised the spicy eggplant, celery and celery on hand and said: "This is still a good deal!"
Of course, it was just a talk. Li Qingxia knew that his youngest son was decisive in doing things. Since he had decided to buy it, he would not return it.
The two men left the market.
