Rebirth of Bayi Fishing and Hunting in the Northwest

In fact, objectively speaking, Jiang Chunlin's proposal makes sense.

At present, Jiang Chunlin has an external sales channel. If he wants to sell the things here, it is very important to have a channel.

After all, it is difficult to open up new channels without them. The most practical way is to bring a truckload of such materials to Kouli and sell them in small quantities. This is called exploring and opening up the market.

In the 1980s, there were no highways, the crime of speculation had not been abolished, and institutions such as the Anti-Speculation Office still existed in various places. It was extremely risky to transport a truckload of materials to other provinces to sell.

But Li Long would never cooperate with Jiang Chunlin. This man was not only erratic, but also had no moral bottom line. If they really wanted to cooperate, Li Long was worried that he would be sold out by him.

He would rather seek help from Jia Tianlong and Zhao Hui.

With Sun Jiaqiang's joining, Li Long no longer went to the purchasing station to help every day for a period of time. He just pulled the clean Fritillaria collected from the purchasing station back to the yard, sorted them and packed them in bags, waiting for Jia Tianlong to come.

The big yard mainly stores leather and mother-of-pearl, and other things are kept in the warehouse of the purchasing station.

There are many things to collect, and they are quite diverse. Jia Tianlong mainly collects medicinal materials, and Zhao Hui mainly collects leather goods. As for the other sundries, Li Long has not yet decided where to sell them. Of course, one reason is that the quantity is small, and the other is that he has not had time to go to Wucheng or Beiting to inquire about the sales channels.

Everything has to wait until the Fritillaria season is over. Because when the Fritillaria season is over, there will be fewer people coming to the purchasing station to sell things, and then you can have some free time to think about other things.

The last time Jia Tianlong came to collect Fritillaria was on June 4th. Children's Day had passed, and students in school were preparing for final exams. The weather was getting warmer, and some of the early-ripening seedless white grapes from Turpan were already edible, and the May Fairy Peaches cultivated by local experts were already on the market.

"Xiao Li, you put me in a passive position last time. I didn't even confiscate all your quilts. This time I learned from the last lesson and prepared well." Jia Tianlong drove the truck to the yard, got off the truck and greeted Li Long warmly, then said jokingly: "Don't worry, even if you have three tons of Fritillaria this time, the money I brought here is enough."

"Not that many." Li Long smiled and shook his head, "I wish I had some here, but it's still a little short."

"That's already pretty impressive." Jia Tianlong and the driver pulled out two locked boxes from the cab. He patted the boxes and said:

"You sold me more than five tons of Fritillaria this season, almost six tons. If there are still two tons left, it will be almost eight tons.

Now a township enterprise can’t even make that much money in a year!”

Li Long smiled and said:

"My costs are there, so I can't actually make much money. Besides, if I sell more to you, you'll make more money."

"Yes, to be honest, Li Long, I've been blessed since I met you. Not to mention the things at home, this year I harvested more than 30% more Fritillaria than last year, and the quality is also good, the price is high, I made a lot of money this year, all thanks to you."

"Win-win, win-win, we all benefit." Li Long said with a smile, "Although it's not three tons, there are more than two tons of Fritillaria. Let's quickly grade and weigh them."

"Okay, okay, let's get started." Jia Tianlong took out two keys from the compartment of the black bag he carried with him, opened the lock on the box, and then began to deal with the Fritillaria matter with Li Long.

There were indeed a lot of Fritillaria this time. They started working in the morning. Li Long, Jia Tianlong and the driver were busy for nearly three hours before they weighed and loaded all the Fritillaria in the warehouse.

"The total weight is two tons, six hundred and thirty kilograms. The special grade is two tons, one hundred kilograms, at sixty-five per kilogram, and the premium grade is five hundred and thirty kilograms, at seventy per kilogram. The total price is one hundred and seventy-three thousand six hundred yuan." Jia Tianlong pressed the calculator and said, "Luckily, fortunately, I didn't embarrass myself this time. I brought enough money."

Although he was paying Li Long, Jia Tianlong was very happy. This truckload of mother-of-pearl weighed more than two tons, and he could make at least 50,000 yuan.

Can you be unhappy?
"I have another bezoar here, would you like to take it?" Li Long asked, "If you do, I'll show it to you later."

"You can still receive bezoar?" Jia Tianlong was a little surprised, "Real or fake?"

"If you know what it is, I'll show it to you."

"I collect medicinal herbs, how could I not know their value? Take it out and let me see, if it's real I will definitely buy it." Jia Tianlong also looked curious, real natural bezoar is rare.

"Let's finish the calculation first." Li Long pointed to the cash box and said, "Let's settle this matter one by one."

"That's because you mentioned the matter of bezoar, otherwise I would give you some money now." Jia Tianlong complained to Li Long, and then started counting the money.

There were two money boxes, each containing 100,000 yuan, and the big box was filled to the brim.

It was already time for dinner. Gu Xiaoxia, Sister Yang and Han Fang were all in the yard, but none of them came over to disturb the collection.

The meal was ready, and the courtyard was filled with the aroma of food. Today's lunch was la tiaozi. In addition to the traditional lamb rolled in spicy noodles, there was also a home-cooked dish, which was stir-fried chili, eggplant and tomato. This year, there are greenhouses near Ma County, and the early-planted chili, eggplant and tomatoes are already on the market. Although there are not many and they are quite expensive, Li Long can still afford them.

Han Fang carried the lunch box to deliver food to Gu Boyuan and Sun Jiaqiang. Sister Yang and Gu Xiaoxia ate first in the kitchen, and then they had their own things to do after the meal.

Although the food was ready and Gu Xiaoxia came over to remind them, Li Long did not invite Jia Tianlong and the others to eat. The collection of Fritillaria must be completed in one go. After all, it was in his yard, and it was hard to say if there were any twists and turns in the middle. It would be better to eat after the collection was completed.

Sister Yang cooked a lot of noodles today. She rinsed them with cold water after cooking so that the noodles would not be sticky and would be chewy. She could just rinse them with hot water when eating.

Jia Tianlong counted the Fritillaria money in front of Li Long and handed it to Li Long along with the box:

"Okay, the money and goods are settled. Hurry up and put the money away, and then take out the bezoar and let me see it."

Li Long picked up the two boxes and said:
"We'll get the bezoar later. Now that we've finished weighing the Fritillaria, let's eat first. Don't blame me for not letting you. If you don't weigh the Fritillaria and you keep these two boxes of money here, you'll have trouble explaining what's going on."

"I understand, I understand. You don't have to explain. Okay, let's eat, and then we'll look at the bezoar after dinner." This time Jia Tianlong did not refuse and called the driver to come to the dinner table together.

Sister Yang brought noodles to the three people. The dishes were already on the table and were not cold yet.

The three of them had big appetites and were starving after being busy all morning. They didn't say much and just wolfed down the noodles and garlic with the delicious dishes.

Sister Yang served everyone a lot of noodles, and they finished the whole enamel bowl. They drank some soup and their stomachs were almost full, and they didn't want to move. Li Long rested for a few minutes before entering the house, taking out the bezoar and placing it in front of Jia Tianlong.

Jia Tianlong took the bezoar and examined it for a while, then looked at Li Long and said with a smile:

"Are you really planning to squeeze all my money out? Such a large natural bezoar is really rare, and the quality is also very high. This piece is worth a millionaire!"

"How much does one gram of natural bezoar cost now?" Li Long asked without any surprise.

"The good ones cost hundreds of yuan. After all, the quantity on the market is relatively small, but many ready-made medicines require it. The quality of your piece is very good. If you want to put it in your mouth, the selling price will be higher, but if I buy it here, I can only charge 80 yuan per gram." "Okay." Li Long did not bargain. Jia Tianlong's purchase price for Fritillaria was not low, and Li Long did not mind letting him make more money from this piece of bezoar.

"Okay, let's weigh it and calculate the price." Jia Tianlong was very happy. Doing business with Li Long was very straightforward.

This piece of bezoar weighs 130 grams, maybe a little more, but Li Long's scale can only weigh this much. 130 grams is 10,400 yuan, Jia Tianlong directly gave Li Long 11,000 yuan, one because the scale was not accurate enough, he felt it would be heavier, and the second was that he originally thought Li Long would bargain. In the end, Li Long directly agreed to the price, which surprised Jia Tianlong.

Li Long did not refuse. After accepting the money, he talked about the channel before Jia Tianlong proposed to leave.

"We have some special products that we want to sell. Old Jia, can you see if anyone is buying them?" Li Long said honestly, "I won't talk about the handles, I guess you don't need them. I wonder if you are short of brooms, and also things like melon seed shavings.

I think there must be someone there to collect the melon seeds, right?"

"This thing is beyond my business scope. If you really want to sell it, I can only help you find out." Fei Tianlong had a pleasant business talk with Li Long, so it was difficult for him to directly reject Li Long's request. He said, "I have some friends there. Let me call and ask."

"Okay, okay, thank you for your help. I heard that the fried melon seeds sold in Kou are sold in a wide range. There should be people who will buy these melon seeds. Please ask more for me."

At that time, Shazi melon seeds were already famous throughout the country, so it seemed that there should be a market for beating melon seeds.

"Okay, since you said so, I'll give you a definite answer when the time comes." Seeing that Li Long emphasized this, Jia Tianlong nodded vigorously, "Don't worry about our friendship, I will do my best to find out for you."

After Jia Tianlong left, Li Long took the remaining 11,000 yuan and went into the house. Gu Xiaoxia was watching Mingming Haohao taking a nap, and when she saw Li Long come in, she asked softly:

"Boss Jia is gone? Is this matter over?"

"Well, I've sold the Fritillaria and Bezoar." Li Long said, "I'll deposit the money this afternoon. It's inconvenient to keep it at home."

In fact, there is a cellar similar to a secret room at home, where he puts all the antiques he collected, including some copper coins. The most important thing is some fine seed materials, which have great appreciation value if kept.

However, cash will easily get moldy if kept in there, so Li Long thinks it is better to deposit it in the bank, which is safer and has a higher interest rate.

"Finally, this Fritillaria season is over," Gu Xiaoxia said with emotion. "Although the purchasing station makes money, it is really tiring."

"It's worth it." Li Long smiled and said:
"At least I made some real money."

"That's true. Although it's risky and busy, I can make a lot of money." Gu Xiaoxia smiled and said, "It's worth it."

The two of them were just chatting, and after a few words, Gu Xiaoxia went to work. Li Long saw that Mingming Haohao was still asleep, so he simply took out his big account book and began to count the money that Beimu had earned this season.

I don't know, I was taken aback.

In one Fritillaria season, the total amount of Fritillaria collected by the purchasing station, the mountains, and the forestry team was 8,175 kilograms, an unprecedented weight!

At this time last year, if someone had told Li Long that he could harvest more than eight tons of Fritillaria this year, Li Long himself would definitely not have believed it.

Receiving so many Fritillarias was a coincidence and luck. Of course, it was also because of the many good connections Li Long had made before and a little cleverness he played this year.

More than eight tons of Fritillaria hair brought in more than 530,000 yuan.

Half a millionaire!

Of course, this is just a total, and the actual money earned is much less than this.

More than 8,100 kilograms was the total amount sold to Jia Tianlong. In fact, the number of Fritillaria thunbergii received by Li Long was roughly more than 9,000 kilograms. However, among the Fritillaria thunbergii received, some impurities needed to be removed, and some were fresh Fritillaria thunbergii or semi-dried ones that needed to be dried before being sold.

But because Li Long invested a large part of his earnings every time he collected Fritillaria, and used the money from the last sale to collect Fritillaria again, in fact, the total money he earned in this Fritillaria season was about 220,000.

But this money was far beyond his expectations, more than the total amount he had earned in previous years.

Twenty percent of this will be given to Gu Boyuan, which is 44,000 yuan.

Lao Gu finally became a real millionaire with an annual income of four million yuan.

This is only the cost of the medicinal materials, the cost of the leather is not included. However, the cost of the leather is much less after all, and it may be more in winter.

As long as this purchasing station is there, cash will continue to flow into Li Long's pocket. This purchasing station is like a hen that lays golden eggs. Now when you think about it, it was really a wise decision to buy this purchasing station at that time.

In the afternoon, Li Long drove a jeep to deposit 150,000 yuan in cash. There was still some cash at home, and with the remaining part of Jia Tianlong's payment this time, he could give Gu Boyuan a share. The rest would be used as cash flow for the acquisition station and could not be moved.

After dinner, Li Long invited Gu Boyuan to the east room of the main house and pushed the neatly arranged RMB to him:
"Uncle Gu, this Fritillaria season is over, and this is your share of the profits."

"So much, how much is it?" Although Gu Boyuan knew that the more Fritillaria harvested this season, the more money he could earn, but he didn't expect to make so much money.

"Forty-four thousand yuan," Li Long said. "Totally I made over two hundred and twenty thousand yuan. Twenty percent is yours."

"I didn't invest anything, I just put in some effort, and I got so much." Gu Boyuan sighed, "I don't feel at ease holding this money."

"What's there to be uneasy about? I've been so busy these days, and this is hard-earned money."

"Compared to farming, this isn't that hard." Gu Boyuan shook his head. "I'll take 10,000. Since I've taken a share, I can't just sit there and do nothing. The remaining 34,000 will be invested as capital. You're the one who invested all the money to collect Fritillaria. The total amount of capital invested back and forth is several hundred thousand, so let's count these as my investment. Otherwise, I wouldn't have the face to take so much money. Okay, that's it."

Gu Boyuan counted out ten stacks of Great Unity and put them away, and returned the rest to Li Long.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade his father-in-law, Li Long gave up trying.

All in all, it's a lot of money.
