Reborn in 1991, helping dad become the richest man

Chapter 12: Transporting goods to the provincial capital is extremely expensive!

Hand tractors are the mainstay of freight transportation in small cities and towns in this era.

If the distance is not far, the cargo capacity and efficiency are still good.

The whole family worked together and quickly loaded nearly 20 bags of dried fish and shrimp onto the tractor.

"Axiong, come back soon, we'll continue to do it these days!"

"Yes, Xionghua, everyone is waiting for you!"

……

Tang Yichen and his father sat together in the tractor trailer.

Looking at the many villagers who gathered around to participate and watch the fun, I felt mixed emotions.

Everyone hopes that Tang Xionghua can successfully bring the goods to the county town this time and then come back to receive more goods.

Because Tang Xionghua told everyone that this first batch of more than 500 kilograms of goods was just to test the quality and effect.

If it goes well, a large amount of collection will be needed later, and it will be continuous.

You can continue to catch small fish and shrimp, dry them and store them at home, and then wait for him to come up and collect them next time.

Tang Xionghua also said that if it’s fast, it will only take a week or so.

This made everyone look forward to it with great anticipation.

dong dong dong-

The tractor came on the road with a clang.

Rural roads are difficult to travel on these days, and even the main roads leading to the county town are bumpy.

Both the father and son had thick straw padding on their buttocks, but it was still very uncomfortable due to the bumpy ride.

Especially Tang Yichen, who was small and tender to begin with, and was not used to it at all.

On the other hand, Tang Xionghua lit a cigarette as if nothing had happened.

He said to Tang Yichen thoughtfully, "Yichen... To be honest, Dad is very uncertain right now and has been worried all the time."

If more than 500 kilograms of goods cannot be sold after being transported to Chuzhou, I don’t know what to do with them, and the losses will be huge.

Many people in the village were stepping up their efforts to get the goods, but when he came back and refused to buy them, it was even more troublesome!

"Dad, don't worry, it's okay!"

Tang Yichen naturally knew what his father was worried about, and replied simply with full confidence.

No matter how much you say, there is a first time for everything.

Since this is my dad’s first time doing business, it’s inevitable that he’ll be nervous and worried about gains and losses.

Especially since he was fired from his job and was under tremendous pressure.

But as long as it succeeds the first time, it will give my dad great confidence, and then everything will be fine.

The tractor was not moving very fast, but fortunately the village was only more than 20 miles away from the county town.

40 minutes later, they arrived safely at the county railway station.

Tang Xionghua and the tractor driver unloaded the goods skillfully.

Then Tang Xionghua paid for the tractor's freight and proceeded to arrange for the shipment of the goods...

After working until after 11 o'clock, the father and son finally came to the ticket hall of the railway station and bought a train ticket to Chuzhou, the provincial capital.

Then I waited quietly in the waiting hall for the 12:30 train to arrive.

-

Half past four in the afternoon.

Chuzhou Railway Station Freight Center.

"Brother, all this stuff can fit on a truck. How about thirty bucks?"

Tang Xionghua stood next to the goods and discussed the freight with a bearded man.

"You're kidding! It's at least fifty bucks! Go ask other people, they'll charge you more than sixty. If that's okay, then fine. If not, then forget it!"

The bearded man said in a domineering tone with a bad temper.

"Fifty, this..."

This price exceeded Tang Xionghua's expectations, and he was a little hesitant.

The last time he was near the freight center, he had already inquired about the approximate price of moving.

Depending on the amount of goods and the distance, the price ranges from 30 to 40 yuan.

I didn't expect the other party to ask for fifty yuan right away, and he had an overbearing tone that refused to bargain.

In fact, what Tang Xionghua didn’t know was that the last time he asked about the price of ordinary casual workers around the freight center.

In fact, those who can enter the freight center are not ordinary casual workers.

Rather, they are organized interest groups. They either have some background or are very powerful, and they basically monopolize the work of the freight center.

This kind of thing is very common in this day and age.

"Give it to me, Dad. We have no choice. Don't lose the big picture for the small one."

Tang Yichen noticed something and whispered to his father.

He knew that his father felt like he was being ripped off and was heartbroken about the money, but now was not the time to worry about these things.

"Alright, fifty is fifty. Thanks for the trouble, big brother."

There was no choice but for Tang Xionghua to pay the money and admit defeat.

Otherwise, he would not be able to carry the more than 500 kilograms of goods by himself.

"Don't worry, little brother, if you pay us quickly, we will work efficiently."

The bearded man took the ticket handed over by Tang Xionghua, smiled and waved to call someone.

Soon, two people came up pushing a cart to move the goods.

They were skilled and efficient, finishing loading the goods in just a few minutes, and then pushed the cart out of the freight center.

Ten minutes later, the cart arrived downstairs of the house rented by the father and son.

The two men were indeed very reliable. They helped move the goods to the room on the third floor before leaving.

Seeing more than a dozen bags of goods piled safely in the room, Tang Xionghua finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I couldn't help but sigh, "Finally it's done! But I haven't made a cent yet, and I've already spent over 800 yuan. Your uncle can't even make that much money in a year."

Tang Xionghua recorded every expense clearly.

548 kilograms of dried small fish and shrimp, 9 cents per kilogram, the delivery cost is 493.2 yuan.

Of course, Tang Yichen’s grandfather, uncle and uncle-in-law have not yet given the money for the dried fish and shrimp.

Tang Xionghua wanted to give it to them, but they refused to accept it, saying that they were all family!

The cost of transporting the goods is not much lower than the cost of receiving the goods.

The village tractor driver gave 100 yuan in total, the train freight fee was 110 yuan, and the cart fee was 50 yuan just now. Together with the county and Chuzhou freight center, the staff gave out 4 packs of Huazi cigarettes, which amounted to 52 yuan.

The total is 310 yuan.

This does not include the hard seat train ticket he bought, as well as Cheng Xionghua's personal manpower and time costs.

Of course, this does not include the money they spent on renting a house when they came to Chuzhou last time.

In short, it’s a lot of expenses!

But fortunately, thinking about the high profit of eight or nine yuan per pound, it is completely acceptable.

"Yichen, let's go out and buy a bicycle. A suitable tricycle would be best!"

After expressing his feelings, Tang Xionghua could no longer sit still. He wanted to ship the goods immediately, the sooner the better.

"Okay, let's go out and take a look." Tang Yichen nodded.

Although he was not as anxious and worried as his father, he still wanted to sell the goods as soon as possible.

This was the first time in my father’s life that he was a boss in business, and it was actually also Tang Yichen’s first time.

Before his rebirth, although he worked as a marketing manager in the company, he was still an employee after all.

It’s just that compared to his father Tang Xionghua at this time, he has richer life experience and experience from his previous life, so he is relatively more calm.

So, without saying anything, the father and son went out again.

After closing the door, Tang Xionghua checked the door lock several times to make sure there was no problem.

If someone broke in and stole all the goods, I would be crying my eyes out...

After going downstairs, the vegetable market we visited last time is just a few hundred meters away.

Tang Yichen simply took his father and went to the vegetable market first.

I plan to go check on the stall where I bought 12 kilograms of dried fish and shrimp from them last time to see if they have sold out the goods after a week.

Is it selling well?

As long as the small vendors in the vegetable market sell well, this business will be profitable.
