Fang Jingfu took over the pen and started writing without politeness.

Since he already owns so many properties, he probably doesn't lack the rent, so they feed off each other's needs. He needs space for his workshop, and Ye Yaodong needs someone to look after his house.

"I'm not polite to you anymore, so I'm just going to give you free rent?"

"Just write, just write, I'll treat it like asking you to look after my house."

"Okay, I'll give you some lighters later and let you take them back."

Ye Yaodong was happy. He asked for a lighter instead of asking for the rent. Talking about money seemed too philistine. It would be better to give each other objects as gifts and reciprocate the courtesy.

"Okay...hey...do you have a lot of goods on hand? Otherwise, you don't have to give them to me. You can sell them to me cheaper. Anyway, I have a store. You can give me a few boxes, calculate the wholesale price, and I will take them back and trade around.

This rent will be earned back."

"Okay, it's easy to say. You are indeed a businessman, and the fishermen are just a cover, right?" Fang Jingfu looked like he knew it, "Smuggling is so rampant now, and they all rely on fishing boats..."

"Shh, don't talk nonsense. I am a serious person. Whether it is smuggling or speculation, I will be arrested. The Eight Kings incident in your local area has not passed yet, and there are still people who have not been caught. This cannot be done casually.

You're talking nonsense, walls have ears."

He took a selfie and said, "My bad mouth made a mistake. This lighter is made in my own workshop. It is a specialty product and is given to each other as a gift among friends."

"right."

"Our workshop has only been established for a month or two, and the order volume has increased significantly recently. We are assembling it 24 hours a day every day, and materials are shipped back and forth. That's why my parents don't like the noise, so I can move some of it to you first.

See how much you want. Anyway, when I move to your place, let my eldest brother increase production. Anyway, the open space here is bigger than mine."

Ye Yaodong thought for a while, "Do you produce plastic casings?"

"Plastic? How do you hold gasoline in a plastic one?"

"Then it's just iron?"

"It's originally made of iron, just like the one I gave you some time ago. At most, it's a different color."

"That's quite simple. How much does such a wholesale cost?"

Fang Jingfu looked at the workers beside him and said, "I'm telling you, since you want to wholesale, then you must calculate the wholesale price."

Ye Yaodong also looked at the workers beside him and felt that his question was stupid. How could he reveal the wholesale price so carelessly that he would take it back and sell it?

"Then how much can the lighter you gave me be sold for? It's the market price."

"6 to 8 yuan. You still have to ship this to your local area. Selling 8 yuan each is not too much. Our new batch of patterned ones can sell for 15 yuan or 20 yuan at the market price."

"That's still cheaper than the Friendship Store. The foreign one costs two to three hundred yuan, and I don't even know what brand it is when I look at it in English."

"Some foreign products are priced at this price. What brand is that? The consumption abroad is already high. Anyway, we ordinary people can't afford it. With that kind of money, we might as well buy a TV and radio. At that time, my brother also got one and then dismantled it.

He was also very fond of research, so he kept looking for alternative materials to make them cheaper."

"If you want to study well, you have to make it cheap and affordable for the public, so that sales will skyrocket. Our country has such a large population. If we really need one per person, we have to sell more than one billion, and it is impossible for everyone to just

If you buy one, it won’t last a lifetime.”

"Yes, yes, you have to make something that everyone can afford." Fang Jingfu seemed to have met a close friend, and his eyes sparkled when he looked at him.

"So you can consider plastic. The cost of plastic is lower."

He frowned and said, "Plastic?"

"I don't understand this. You can research in this direction. Anyway, try to reduce the cost as much as possible. When the cost comes down, won't the price come down and everyone can afford it? Now 8 yuan a piece is worth 8 yuan to ordinary people.

, and it’s quite stressful.”

"Tell my brother later. He has just come up with this research, so he must take his time. I find that you know a lot and can always come up with incredible things."

"No? I was just talking casually."

"Yes, I think you are knowledgeable."

"Maybe, I probably see more when I travel around."

"Understood!" Fang Jingfu understood instantly and had an "I understand" expression on his face again.

"What do you understand again?" Ye Yaodong looked a little speechless when he saw his expression. Did he really think that he was involved in smuggling? So he had seen a lot and knew everything?

"It goes without saying, it goes without saying. I understand. The current environment is like this. If you don't do this, you won't be able to make a lot of money. You can only make money quickly like this. I understand. I have seen many of them."

"I'm so innocent."

"Yeah, I understand. You can tell me how many you want later, and I'll take stock of them when I get home and move them over to you."

Being labeled a smuggler for no reason, Ye Yaodong reached out helplessly and knocked on the table, "Write yours first, and finish writing the signature quickly."

"Okay, okay."

Fang Jingfu immediately lowered his head and started writing again.

Ye Yaodong also thought about the appropriate quantity for him. Each one sold for 6-8 yuan, and the cost could never be higher than two or three yuan. After all, this might take several hands, from wholesalers to middlemen and then to retails, probably with labor and materials.

It only costs about one or two yuan to get up.

Of course, people have to make money to produce them. For 1,000 of them, it only costs about two to three thousand yuan.

There was no need to ask for too much. He just took it back and resold it. He didn't make money by reselling it, so he just took a little bit with him.

Moreover, he just remitted 10,000 yuan back a few days ago, and now he only has four to five thousand yuan accumulated from selling goods in the past few days, and the workers also have to pay thousands of yuan for their wages.

"It's written. Take a look at it. If you have no problem, sign your name."

Ye Yaodong was pulled back from his thoughts. He picked up the paper and looked at it. If there was no problem, he signed his name.

Fang Jingfu also wrote his name, "You can make another copy, one for each person."

"Go ahead and copy it. Don't bother me with anything. You've already written one, so just write another one."

"Okay, then how much do you want? I'll go back and prepare it. Also, can someone come over tomorrow to put up a roof for the yard."

"Okay, no problem. Anyway, we go to sea every day and come back to sleep at night. The housekeepers leave two or three people to cook. You can have someone come over to set up the shed first and move in the assembly materials in advance.

.”

"Okay, why not, I've made a decision to be your friend. Fortunately, I'm going to hand in the photos today, which saves me the trouble of running around on a hot day. I had a heat stroke after searching all day yesterday, and I lay at home all day yesterday. Who doesn't have a shortage of housing these days?

, how can there be so many empty houses.”

"You take a copy first. It's almost noon. You can stay with me for dinner later and chat while eating."

"good."

He lowered his head to brush and copy again, and then the two of them signed their names, one for each person on the two pieces of paper.

He attached the piece by Ye Yaodong to the notebook without tearing it off, so as not to tear off a piece of paper and throw it around, he tore off the piece by Fang Jingfu and gave it to him.

"Let's go, we haven't started dinner yet, let's go to the room and have a few words."

Fang Jingfu immediately stood up and followed him, and then whispered: "Do you have any other good products there? I'll buy some from you too..."

Ye Yaodong's head was full of black lines, "Do you really think I'm a smuggler?"

"Otherwise, you have more than a dozen boats, several shops, and several workshops. How can you make so much money? If you were here, you would have been invited to tea and interrogated every now and then.

.”

"You also said that I have so many things. If I didn't have any legitimate reason, I would have been invited to tea for questioning. How can I still stand here?"

"Ah, you really didn't do that?"

"No, I'm a serious person."

Fang Jingfu was doubtful, "Forget it, after all, we have met by chance and haven't met many times. It's normal if you don't believe it. Let's talk about it later. After we have been together for a long time, you will know what I am like."

"Don't make it sound like you're dating. It's disgusting or not. To be honest, you still don't believe it. Forget it, you'll know it later anyway. Please tell me first, how much does the wholesale price of your lighter cost to me?

I’ll calculate the quantity again.”

"Originally, the wholesale price was 2 yuan. Since you gave me your house for free, I can give you 1 yuan and 5 yuan. After all, the metal casing, metal parts, springs and electrodes are all customized by other workshops. The gas dyes

It’s also expensive, and you have to hire someone to assemble it.”

Ye Yaodong felt bad. Sure enough, the price could be reduced by 50 cents. Counting his wholesale price of 1.5 yuan, they still have to make money at this price. The cost is definitely less than 1 yuan. Selling it for 8 yuan is simply expensive.

ten times.

Even if you deduct the cost of intermediate transportation and labor, the profit is still huge.

Tsk tsk tsk, as expected, all walks of life are very easy to do now, and all are profitable.

In an era of scarce resources, everything is easy to sell and everyone is short of everything.

"Don't tell anyone about this price. Our current wholesale price for takeout is two yuan, and then wholesalers or dealers sell it to various places. Then it may take a while for them to be available to local hawkers and shops.

, it costs 6 yuan more to sell it outside.”

"Sure enough, it was all exploited one by one by middlemen. When it comes to the hands of ordinary people, I don't know how many processes have gone through and how much money has been added."

"There's nothing we can do about it. We can't sell them one by one. People wholesale and sell in large quantities, so we can make a profit. If we sell them one by one, we have to sell them until the end of the Year of the Monkey, and we can't sell to hundreds of millions of people.

hands."

"Well, I'll just say it casually. Sure enough, we still have to find the source factory. As you become bigger and stronger, don't forget about your brothers. Brothers are also brothers."
