Rebirth 1989: My Unlucky Career

Seeing that one village could produce such fruitful results, Zhao Zhuo and Sun Xiaoyu stopped rushing back and started wandering around nearby villages.

Whenever he saw Panax notoginseng in a village, Zhao Zhuo would use the method just now to ask people to help him purchase it.

In one afternoon, the total amount of Panax notoginseng purchased by the two exceeded 10,000 kilograms!

Originally I just wanted to make a little money, but unexpectedly it turned into a big business!

After purchasing Panax notoginseng that day, it was getting late, so Zhao Zhuo and Sun Xiaoyu stayed in a local hotel for one night, and set off back to Pengcheng early the next day.

After traveling for several hours, Zhao Zhuo immediately found the largest traditional Chinese medicine store in Pengcheng when he returned to Pengcheng.

"Hello, do we accept Panax notoginseng here?"

Zhao Zhuo asked straight to the point.

"Sanqi? How big is it?"

"About ten heads."

With that said, Zhao Zhuo took out the Panax notoginseng he had packed in his handbag and showed it to the salesperson.

After seeing the quality of Panax notoginseng, the salesperson couldn't help but nodded:

“The quality seems pretty good…”

After pondering for a moment, the salesperson asked:

"How many Sanqi like this do you have?"

Zhao Zhuo said calmly:

"About ten thousand jins."

"How much? Ten thousand catties?!"

The salesperson was shocked when she heard this amount.

"There are too many, and we simply can't have any in our store."

Zhao Zhuo frowned when he heard this:

"How much can you ask for?"

The salesperson suddenly became a little embarrassed.

If it was just a small purchase of medicinal materials, she could have the final say herself.

But when he heard that Zhao Zhuo had brought 10,000 kilograms of Panax notoginseng here, the salesperson couldn't make the decision at all?

"Okay sir, please wait a moment while I go ask our manager for instructions."

Zhao Zhuo nodded, and the waiter quickly turned around and left.

After a while, a man in a suit and leather shoes came over:

"Excuse me, do you want to sell Panax notoginseng?"

Zhao Zhuo nodded.

The man asked again:

"Ten thousand pounds?"

Zhao Zhuo nodded again.

After confirming it, the manager said with some embarrassment:

"Sir, it's like this. Our store already has a lot of panax notoginseng in stock. Now even if we want to buy it, we can only collect about a thousand kilograms at most."

Zhao Zhuo was slightly disappointed when he heard the amount of one thousand kilograms.

Originally, according to his idea, even if it was impossible to sell 10,000 kilograms in one go, a few thousand kilograms at a time should be about the same.

But now I heard that it was only one thousand kilograms, which meant that Zhao Zhuo had to go to at least ten stores to sell so many Panax notoginseng. He couldn't help but feel helpless.

However, after all, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. Zhao Zhuo nodded and said:

"Okay, how much can you pay?"

Originally, according to Zhao Zhuo's idea, the price should be about the same. After all, the purchase price of these Panax notoginseng is not expensive.

But what Zhao Zhuo didn't expect was that the manager thought for a while and gave a price:

"If a thousand pounds of Panax notoginseng can be guaranteed to be of this quality, then we can pay ten yuan per pound."

"How much? Has the price of Panax notoginseng here suddenly dropped significantly?"

Zhao Zhuo asked again as if he didn't believe his ears.

When the manager saw Zhao Zhuo's reaction, he also said with some confusion:

"It costs ten yuan per pound. The price has always been like this here. There is not much difference. The most expensive price may be around twelve yuan.

Sometimes it’s cheaper, about seven or eight yuan.”

After hearing this, Zhao Zhuo suddenly calmed down.

He suddenly realized one thing: the high price of Panax notoginseng in Fengtian does not mean that the price of Panax notoginseng is high in all places!

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to buy very good quality Panax notoginseng near Huaping Village for only three to five yuan.

Zhao Zhuo's modern thinking led him into a serious misunderstanding.

Originally, according to Zhao Zhuo's previous thinking, if the same thing was circulated across the country, the price difference would not be too big.

However, Zhao Zhuo forgot that this must be based on developed logistics and transportation!

But now, long-distance transportation is far less developed.

Therefore, it often happens that Panax notoginseng that can be grown locally can only be sold for a few yuan or at most ten yuan per catty, while in places where Panax notoginseng cannot be grown, it can be sold for dozens or even hundreds of dollars.

.

Although Zhao Zhuo can still make tens of thousands of yuan if he sells these 10,000 kilograms of Panax notoginseng in Pengcheng.

But after thinking about this, Zhao Zhuo shook his head and rejected the price given by the manager:

"Then forget it, I'll find another buyer."

Hearing this, the manager couldn't help but said:

"Pengcheng's purchase price is fixed. Even if you go to other stores to sell it, it will be about the same price."

Zhao Zhuo smiled and nodded:

"It's okay, I have my own solution."

After saying that, Zhao Zhuo left the medicinal material store, leaving the manager alone looking at Zhao Zhuo's back with some confusion.

From his point of view, he really couldn't think of anything good that Zhao Zhuo could do.

After returning to the company, Sun Xiaoyu saw that Sanqi was still driving slowly, and she couldn't help but ask:

"What's wrong? Can't sell it?"

Zhao Zhuo replied:

"It's not that it can't be sold, it's just that the price is too low and not very cost-effective."

Sun Xiaoyu couldn't help but feel a little worried:

"Then what should we do? The acquisition cost of our Panax notoginseng is tens of thousands, which is not a small amount of money.

If you lose it in your hand, it would still be quite sad."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo smiled slightly:

"Don't worry, I have a way."

With that said, Zhao Zhuo called Li Jianjun's office.

Within a few minutes, Li Jianjun arrived at Zhao Zhuo's office.

"Cousin, how has business been during this time? Nothing unexpected happened, right?"

Li Jianjun smiled and said:

"Don't worry, everything is normal. Now, in addition to the stable cooperation with Sun, our branch is also doing more and more transportation business with other factory companies.

Basically, there are very few idle trucks every day."

With that said, Li Jianjun handed Zhao Zhuo his work report for the recent period.

Zhao Zhuo took it and looked at it carefully, and found that the situation was indeed good, so he nodded with satisfaction.

"As long as everything goes well."

As he spoke, Zhao Zhuo looked at Li Jianjun:

"Cousin, although everything is on track here, I'm afraid you still have to stay for a while. How about you return to Fengtian when suitable management talents are trained here?"

Li Jianjun's professional level in transportation is sufficient to be able to take charge of his own business.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Zhuo said this.

When Li Jianjun heard this, he smiled sheepishly, and then hesitantly said:

"Xiao Zhuo, I was just about to tell you about this. Actually...it's not impossible for me not to return to Fengtian."
