Rebirth 1984 Wife and children are on the hot bed
Chapter 34 Lies, Selling Red Ginseng
I went to bed in the morning, and when Xu Dahai woke up, it was already past 4 pm.
If I were in my hometown, it would be dark by this time, but when I looked out the window, the sky in Wenzhou was still very bright.
Xu Dahai washed his hair, randomly styled his hair, and then put on his newly bought cotton-padded jacket.
"I feel handsome myself!"
Xu Dahai touched his thin face. Maybe he didn't do much farm work and was often idle. In addition, the Northeast has a long winter every year and the sun is not so bright.
So he felt that he looked quite white.
“As the old saying goes, a man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. There is indeed some truth to this saying.
It is said that people should not be judged by their appearance, but in fact, most people still judge people by their appearance. When you are in sales, you naturally need to dress well. "
Xu Dahai looked at himself in the mirror narcissistically again, locked the door and left the hotel.
First I went to the post office and sent a telegram. It cost 5 cents per word, which was quite expensive.
Xu Dahai wrote the address on a telegraph newspaper with some grids printed on it, and also wrote the content to be sent:
"Xiuxiu, I have arrived in Wenzhou. Everything is fine and I will return soon."
"Do you want to send punctuation marks?" The staff of the Post and Telecommunications Bureau were wearing earth-blue uniforms and had a dull expression.
"send!"
One punctuation mark is equivalent to one word, and most people will choose not to pronounce punctuation marks.
However, if punctuation marks are not issued, the person receiving the report needs to segment the sentences themselves. Chinese culture is extensive and profound, and sometimes the meaning of the sentence is completely different if the sentences are segmented differently.
Xu Dahai is not so short of money now, and he doesn't care if he spends an extra [-] cents.
"A dollar and a nickel."
After sending the telegram, Xu Dahai's stomach growled with hunger and he went to buy roast chicken, glutinous rice, fish cakes and wontons.
After returning to the hotel and eating, he quickly fell asleep.
The next morning, I ate the leftover roast chicken from last night and hurried to the station to get on the bus to Cangnan County.
Bumpy all the way.
By the time he arrived in Cangnan, it was already past 9 o'clock. The roads in this era were not as easy as in later generations. The driver seemed to have taken shortcuts, and Xu Dahai almost fell apart due to the bumps.
Other passengers were no better.
"Yang Han and the others encouraged me to come to Cangnan. Does that mean that Wenzhou, except Cangnan, is their territory? Then someone else occupies Cangnan?"
Xu Dahai didn't want to cause unreasonable trouble, so he didn't even look for a private medicine store or department store with a big baggage on his back.
Instead, he inquired about it and went directly to Cangnan County Medicinal Materials Company.
The sun was shining on the trees in front of a three-story old building, the breeze was blowing, the shadows of the trees were dancing, and there were birds chirping and jumping on the trees.
"Hey, little comrade, who are you looking for?" The old guard stopped him directly.
"Uncle, I just came from the Northeast. I work for the Mengjiang County Medicinal Materials Company. Is your manager here?" Xu Dahai lied as soon as he opened his mouth and handed over a cigarette.
The key is that he speaks fluently and very confidently, as if he is really a member of the Mengjiang County Medicinal Materials Company.
Mengjiang and Baisong counties are next to each other and both are under the jurisdiction of Hunjiang City.
Both counties produce red ginseng and their output is large.
Since he made up a false identity, Xu Dahai naturally wanted to try his best not to reveal his true information, so he didn't say that he was from Baisong County.
"Oh? The Northeast is too far away from here. Come in. Are you here to discuss cooperation?"
"Yes, our medicinal company has red ginseng for sale. I wonder if your company needs it?"
"Red ginseng!?"
The guard uncle himself eats red ginseng to replenish qi and blood. Of course, his income is low and he can only buy some cut red ginseng slices occasionally.
There are about 35 roots in a pound of six-year-old red ginseng.
So although red ginseng is very expensive, ordinary people don’t buy it by the pound, nor do they eat it every day. They can still afford to eat some red ginseng slices occasionally.
Xu Dahai was asked to wait in the inner hut first. The guard quickly went to report the situation, and soon a thin man wearing glasses and a gray tunic suit came out.
He is the manager.
When we arrived at the office on the second floor, the price negotiation went smoothly.
The manager initially offered 140 yuan per catty, but Xu Dahai didn't agree. After some haggling with him, the price was finally determined at 170 yuan per catty.
It is 150 yuan more expensive than the 20 yuan per pound mentioned by Yang Han before.
Xu Dahai guessed that Yang Han didn't lie to him, but others knew that they were speculating on the red ginseng, which meant they had a shady origin, so others would take the opportunity to lower the price.
This is also common sense.
This is why Xu Dahai is willing to disguise his identity and sell red ginseng directly to a local medicinal company.
“Send money to your company??”
"No, my uncle, well, our manager told me to bring cash back when I came here. This year is just an attempt to find a buyer and establish a preliminary cooperative relationship. If the cooperation goes well, it can be shipped next year. More red ginseng." Xu Dahai said seriously, speaking very fluently and confidently.
"Your uncle?" The skinny manager put down his pen and pushed up his glasses.
"Yes, my uncle is the manager of Mengjiang County Medicinal Materials Company. My colleagues are also quite poor. Their salaries are not much, let alone supporting their families. Some employees have had their bicycles stolen and cannot afford new ones. I can only walk to work, and my life is miserable.”
Xu Dahai picked up a cigarette and signaled, and the other party waved his hand to indicate that he would like to go.
After lighting the cigarette and taking a puff, Xu Dahai continued:
"My uncle was worried, so I came up with a plan for him. I sold part of the red ginseng to my brother's company, and the money I got back was used to give benefits to my colleagues. Isn't it good?"
Although Xu Dahai's words are false, many state-owned companies and state-owned units are doing this.
Throughout the 90s, the practice was in full swing. Many people felt that they had done nothing wrong. After all, the money did not go into their own pockets, but was distributed to colleagues in a small group.
The most serious thing that Xu Dahai remembered was probably the one in Guangdong Province, which was unscrupulous and very arrogant.
Even the big bosses in the province couldn't take care of them. In the end, the report letter flew to Yanjing like snowflakes. Yanjing was furious and ordered people to bring them directly to hold them accountable.
The manager of Cangnan County Medicinal Materials Company nodded. In fact, he believed [-]% of Xu Dahai's identity, but still had [-]% doubts.
Of course, he didn't have the intention to get to the bottom of it, as long as there was nothing wrong with the red ginseng.
Moreover, the medicinal materials company resells the medicinal materials privately, so it is not good to tell anyone about it, that is, it is done in private. If he went to Mengjiang County to ask, the other party would not admit it.
"A total of 45 kilograms, 170 yuan per kilogram, a total of 7650 yuan. My last name is Zhang, Li Zaozhang. Just come to me when you get back next time."
The skinny manager wrote a note and asked Xu Dahai to go to the finance office to collect the money.
There is no distinction between high-quality red ginseng and ordinary red ginseng!
Xu Dahai couldn't help but be overjoyed. Naturally, he wouldn't remind him of this. He happily received the money and left quickly.
If I were in my hometown, it would be dark by this time, but when I looked out the window, the sky in Wenzhou was still very bright.
