Years: Return to the Leisurely Fishing Village

Chapter 139: Being tripped up, Tan Shaoyang counters the trick
Lao Tie's face turned red from holding back his anger, and he finally managed to utter, "Why are you so petty? You just came here to see me having fun."

Tan Shaoyang shrugged, "Aren't we the same? You failed in your own business, and you come to challenge me. Do you think you can be comfortable?"

"Take your time! The betel nuts still need to be processed, otherwise they will get moldy and become a waste of money."

Tan Shaoyang's words made Lao Tie even more frustrated. He invested money, got the goods back, but there were still a lot of steps to go through.

But he was completely clueless and didn't even know what to do. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Why did he suddenly want to fight him?
He raised his hand and slapped himself.

It was really the result of impulse. With the money, he could move to another place and start over!

If someone nearby reports him, won’t he be less afraid if he goes somewhere far away?
The more I think about it, the more I feel like I'm losing my mind.

I threw this pile of dried betel nuts to my mother and taught her how to deal with them, then left her alone.

Now that you have started, you can't give up halfway.

He went to squat secretly, but he didn't believe it. He squatted there but couldn't find any trace of him. Even if he learned secretly, he had to understand Tan Shaoyang's technique of making betel nuts.

As a result, after staying there for a few days, Tan Shaoyang didn't go out at all, as if this business had been left aside, and instead went to collect fish.

He was confused as to whether betel nut could make money. If it really could, why would he go out to collect fish?
How much do those fish cost?
Zhang Yishui looked at his sneaky movements and couldn't help laughing.

"Don't squat here. You won't understand. The third brother is very smart! No one can learn the production techniques. You can't change the result even if you squat here any longer."

"The smart thing to do is to sell the betel nut to Tan Shaoyang! At least you can earn some hard work fee."

"I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. My two aunts helped him, but he couldn't learn any tricks at all. There are a lot of betel nuts at home. If he learned it, he could make it himself!"

"What does this prove? It proves that the third brother is smart. If he wants to take on the job, he won't let anyone see through him easily."

"You still want to play with him with your brain, but you definitely won't understand."

Zhang Yishui choked him and felt very happy. It turned out that when others are unhappy, he can be very happy!

Lao Tie's face darkened. Not wanting him to get his wish, he fought back, "What's there to be proud of? You followed him around, he made money, but you got nothing. And you're still smiling here. I don't know what you're proud of."

Zhang Yishui sneered, "Who said I didn't make money? You don't understand. I did make money."

"I help buy dried betel nuts. I sell them for 1000 cents per pound. If I buy 50 pounds, I'll make yuan, which is enough for me to spend."

"I'm not like you who makes money against your conscience. It will be too late to regret when the retribution comes."

"I won't tell you anymore. You won't understand even if you wait. Just wait a few more days and Lao San will be able to sell the second batch of goods. It's a sure thing that he will make money. There's no need to doubt it."

"You still want to trip him up, isn't this wishful thinking?"

"By the time you get out of this mess, the daylily will be cold."

Zhang Yishui told this to Tan Shaoyang again. Tan Shaoyang patted him on the shoulder and said, "If you can buy the betel nuts from him, you can also make some money."

Zhang Yishui looked at him in shock, "Don't you find the goods he received offensive?"

Tan Shaoyang shrugged, "It's enough to make money, who would dislike money being hot?"

"There are no words on the betel nut to indicate who it belongs to, so why would there be any emotion about it?"

Zhang Yishui gave him a thumbs up, his admiration obvious, "You are really generous. I was just afraid he wouldn't be willing to sell it to me!"

"He wants to make trouble for you, so why would he sell the goods to you?"

Tan Shaoyang had a playful smile on his face and whispered something in his ear. Zhang Yishui's eyes lit up, and then he patted his chest and assured him,

"Don't worry, I will definitely get it done for you. You are so smart! You can actually come up with such a crooked idea."

I actually asked my friend to get in touch with the two aunts. Once he knew that the process was not something he could learn by himself, his warm heart would cool down.

Betel nut cannot be exchanged for money, so keeping it in hand would be a loss, so it is better to sell it.

Tan Shaoyang patted his shoulder and said, "Wait for your good news."

"Everyone can make money if it is mutually beneficial."

Tan Shaoyang would not guarantee anything to anyone, and even if he could make money he would not tell the details. Zhang Yishui thought that at most he could earn a little more than him, but he had no idea that he could earn hundreds or even thousands of dollars on each trip!

After handing the matter over to him, the purchased fish were shipped out. It was all about making money, and all aspects were taken into consideration. No matter how small a mosquito leg is, it is still meat, and he would definitely not despise it.

After this trip, the next one will be to Pinang.

Although I was very tired from tossing and turning, I also had a deep sense of accomplishment.

On the other hand, Zhang Yishui arranged for his aunt to contact Lao Tie and let him know the most critical process, which was hidden strictly by Tan Shaoyang.

Lao Tie was speechless for a moment.

He thought he could trip up Tan Xiaoyang and stop him from making money, but it turned out that the other party was confident and he became a joke instead.

The betel nuts were transported back with great effort, and then I sold them to him so that he could make money. It was a shame to do that.

It’s better to tinker with it and sell it at a lower price!
After figuring it out, he went home and let his mother take care of it while he went around the city to find out where betel nuts were sold.

After a lot of effort, he finally understood it.

It was actually sold to young people in karaoke halls.

I bought two packs and went back to look at the packaging, intending to pack them exactly the same. I then rushed to sell the goods in front of Tan Shaoyang and deliberately set a lower price.

Like this, full of confidence.

Who knew that reality would slap him in the face.

The boss tasted a strange smell, which was completely different from the goods supplied by Tan Laosan.

It’s cheap, but the taste is wrong.

The goods supplied by Tan Shaoyang have a special flavor that makes people get more and more addicted the more they chew, and his goods give off an indescribable flavor when you chew them.

The boss made a prompt decision and stopped following him to get the goods.

It’s useless if it’s cheap, it’s only useful if it can be sold.

If you buy blindly and fail to sell it, it will damage your reputation and give others a chance to expand!

Lao Tie went to several stores in a row and sold 200 bags at the last one, at 40 cents per bag, making a profit of yuan.

After a trip, he left with a dejected look on his face.

40 yuan is not enough to cover the cost!
It's really tiring.

There are only a few karaoke halls that are unwilling to buy his products, so there is no point in trying any further.

I simply took it home to eat it myself, tried my own, and then tried the one made by Tan Shaoyang, but the more I ate, the more I couldn't describe it. It tasted terrible, no wonder it couldn't be sold!

Two more days later.

Tan Shaoyang transported another cart of betel nuts over.

The boss saw him eagerly and pulled the man over, chatting with him with a smile, "Old Third, there are people who are competing with you in this business! I see someone is bringing in betel nuts to sell!"

"You can sell this thing right here in our place, can you reduce the price a little?"

The boss' tone was tentative, wondering if the price could be reduced. What if?

You have to give it a try. As a businessman, who doesn’t want to make more money?

After listening to him, Tan Shaoyang understood the hidden meaning in his words. It turned out that there was no shortage of people who could provide the goods, but they just wanted to lower the price!

Tan Shaoyang handed him a cigarette and said with a forced smile, "Boss! You get what you pay for!"

"Betel nut doesn't just come to you like that. You have to find someone to process it. The whole production process is very complicated and requires a lot of investment. If you keep the price down, the business won't last long."

"Everyone wants to make some money in business. If there is no profit, why bother?"

"Shop around. If you can find betel nuts of the same quality as mine, I will drive away immediately without saying a word."

"Good things are easy to sell. My products can stand the test of time. Both the quality and hygiene are first-class. I guarantee that people can eat them with peace of mind."

"I'm sure other people's betel nuts don't taste like mine. I spent real money on the ingredients, otherwise they wouldn't taste this good."

"You said it's normal for someone to sell betel nuts. Some people in the village saw me doing this and followed suit. But do you dare to buy his betel nuts?"

"Let's not talk about anything else. Just from the taste point of view, his goods are absolutely incomparable. If you can sell his goods, I will voluntarily withdraw from this territory."

"The price cannot be changed. Do you want to take the goods?"

He cannot give in. Once he does, the price will be lowered again. He wants to take advantage of this convenience while no one else can master the trick.

By the time others figure it out, he will have made almost as much money.

Lao Tie has tossed betel nuts, but the taste is definitely not the same as his, and the flavor is not certain, and it is not certain whether it can withstand the public's preferences.

He was not the kind of person who would panic if frightened. He was certain that the boss did not follow Lao Tie to ship the goods. If he had really taken the goods, he would not have said these tentative words in front of him.

Sure enough, after one round, the boss had an embarrassed smile on his face, and then he bought a large amount of goods.

As long as you taste it, you can tell instantly that those young people who come here to have fun are all smart people and none of them can be fooled easily.

If you fool people today, you will dare to go to other places to play tomorrow.

Tan Shaoyang made the right bet and left with the money in great joy. He didn’t know who would buy the goods from Lao Tie, so he just sold them normally. Those who were willing to buy could buy, and those who didn’t want to buy could forget it.

I kept visiting several companies and everything went smoothly at first.

When they got to the last store which was a bit remote, the other party started bargaining with him.

Tan Shaoyang understood that he must have his old friend's goods in hand, so he dared to bargain for him. Fortunately, there were not many in the car. Usually, he took little goods, just one box. He might as well stockpile them and sell them in the next batch.

It is impossible to reduce the price. There was no price reduction when we purchased in large quantities before, so there is no reason to reduce the price now.

"Boss, the price is like this, do you want to buy more later?"

The young boss waved his hand, his face revealing a hint of embarrassment, "Your price is too high, I won't take it today, we can cooperate again if there is a chance in the future."

Tan Shaoyang nodded, did not embarrass anyone, and turned around and left decisively.

As a result, the other party soon suffered the consequences.

The funeral nut was bought cheaply and sold at a low price. As a result, people who ate it noticed a strange smell. They tried to endure it at first, but finally couldn't help but vomited it out.

"Boss, do you get this betel nut from the same company? You didn't get fooled, did you? Is this thing edible?"

"We chose your place because your house is close. If this thing is not good, we will move to another place."

"You can change it to the original one for us. It doesn't matter if it's a few cents more expensive. The main thing is that it tastes good. One pack can last for a few days."

"It tastes good and is very addictive. Once you have eaten it, you can't stop eating it. You will feel the excitement, so it is worth spending a little money on it."

The boss was confused when he heard this, and looked at the people making noise in front of him with a bewildered look. Don’t these things all look the same?

Is there any difference in taste?

He hasn't tasted it himself, so he can't feel the difference!
"The original price was too high, so I didn't buy any. This batch of betel nuts has a new owner, and the price is cheaper. Isn't it good to save everyone money?"

The young man retorted without even thinking, "We don't want to save money. Cheap food doesn't taste good, so what's the point!"

"If you don't have that batch of goods, just return the money to us! We can buy it from another place."

"I stocked up on a few packs at once, thinking I would eat them slowly, but the taste was not to my liking. Not to mention getting addicted, my mouth was filled with a weird taste every time I chewed them."

"That's right, give us our money back quickly, and we'll go buy it somewhere else. What if it's sold out and we can't find anything?" They come here to consume, so why would they care about money?

I just like this feeling. Once you try it, you can’t resist it. If you change it to other garbage, you won’t be able to chew it no matter how cheap it is!

The boss was dumbfounded. A group of people were clamoring again, and finally he could only refund them the money one by one. He originally thought that he could take advantage and make more money by getting the goods at a low price.

Not only did it not sell, but it ended up being a loss.

The next time I see someone, I must return all of them.

What he didn't know was that Lao Tie quit his job and never showed up again after cheating him out of the money. Instead, he pulled Zhang Yishui along and brainwashed him.

"Brother Yishui, you will be right if you listen to me. Ask your aunt to secretly bring out some brine, and you can identify the ingredients yourself. As long as you figure it out, you can make money on your own."

"Outside, betel nuts are sold at 8 cents a pack, and there aren't many of them in them. Tan Shaoyang sells them at or cents a pack, and he still makes a profit!"

"He must have made a lot of money. The truck he was driving must be his own. Although the truck is not new, it must have cost several thousand dollars to buy it."

"It's you simple-minded people who are willing to listen to his nonsense and treat him as a good brother. He hasn't even revealed his true identity to you!"

"It is reasonable to use some tricks to make money. If a person does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth!"

Zhang Yishui ignored it. Even if the third brother could make money, that was his ability. He didn't think he had the brains to do so.

It's really hard for him to figure out where to sell it!
Besides, no one will gain any advantage by going against the third brother. He is not that stupid.

You have to be careful everywhere when you go out. He may show off in the village, but no one will protect him when he goes out. It's better for him to stay at home and behave himself!
