Chapter 2958

In the past years, Fulifeng's local rice purchases were limited, and it was not a traditional grain merchant. There were no long-term purchasing channels among the people in Champa. But Shopkeeper Jia knew that this year's grain harvest in Champa would be bumper, and a large amount of rice would definitely flow into the grain market.

, several rice banks in Vung Tau Port will probably buy it at a lower price. As long as Fulifeng bids a little higher, it shouldn't be a problem to complete the acquisition task.

Shopkeeper Jia’s judgment was very accurate and the measures he took were effective. Farmers from Champa who came to Vung Tau Port to sell rice would find it hard not to notice the huge advertisement erected on Pier 3. Even illiterate people would notice it after seeing it.

You will definitely be curious about this, and you will understand the meaning of this advertisement after a little inquiry.

After the rice-carrying boat docked, the farmers had no time to rest and quickly went to inquire about the purchasing prices of various rice shops in Vung Tau Port.

Compared with the field purchase price, the price here in Vung Tau Port is indeed higher, but it is only about 10%. This small gap is really difficult to satisfy the farmers.

After all, transporting grain from the fields to the ship, then transporting it all the way to Vung Tau Port, and then having to unload the grain for the rice bank after selling it, such hard work only only adds 10% to the income, which is not very cost-effective.

Fortunately, for places closer to home, some farmers who come all the way to Vung Tau Port to sell rice, including the consumption on the way back and forth, are almost the same as if they sold the rice locally, and there is even a risk of paying for the travel expenses.

"Shopkeeper, we are coming from Can Tho. The one-way journey is four to five hundred miles by water. If you are kind and your price is higher, consider it as a reward for our travel expenses!"

The shopkeeper of Mihang, who was sitting in front of the counter, didn't even raise his eyelids: "The price of rice is posted outside the door. It's written in black and white. You can read it yourself. If you want to sell it, sell it. If you don't want to sell it, go somewhere else. Don't block it at the door!"

"

Someone continued to persuade with a glimmer of hope: "Shopkeeper, the price of your rice is almost the same as that in the countryside of Champa. We transported the rice ourselves and saved you a lot of time. How about we give you some freight?"

Some people also shouted: "This price is not worth selling, it is better to wait for two days and see!"

The shopkeeper sneered, slowly put down the tea cup in his hand, stood up and said: "Look at how many rice ships are on the pier outside, and see clearly! If you don't sell, there are many people who want to sell! In a few more days,

The rice from everywhere has arrived here, and the price of rice will only fall, not rise!"

Yes, there are only a few rice banks that buy rice, but there are thousands of farmers who want to sell rice. How can the price of rice rise when more rice is collected at Vung Tau Port?

The unwilling farmers left the rice shop and tried to find a kind-hearted rice merchant here who was willing to pay a fair price. But the problem is that these rice merchants in Vung Tau Port are almost all from Hai Han, and the purchase price is

What has been agreed upon by each family has long been agreed upon, and how can it be changed for these farmers who occupy the city?

But when they were almost desperate, they heard some good news.

"Furuifeng has harvested rice this year, and the price is 20% higher than other rice stores!"

Farmers who heard the news quickly asked: "Where is Fulifeng harvested?"

"Well, there's a big sign on the pier over there. Did you see it? It's right there."

So the farmers hurriedly went to find out the truth. After asking several rice shops, they no longer had too many expectations for the price of rice in Vung Tau Port. They just counted the extra money they could sell for. They couldn't sell the rice any more.

Ship it home intact.

Many farmers who heard the news have already gathered on Pier 3. The good news for them is that the rumors are true, and the purchase price of Fulifeng is indeed 20% higher than that of other companies.

But the bad news is that Fulifeng only accepts polished rice now, and you can take as much as you can, but not the most common rice on the market, brown rice.

Tools for inspecting and weighing rice have been set up on the pier, and settlement will be done on site as soon as the goods are sold. Farmers selling rice can choose their own settlement method, and the white cash and neat stacks of Haihan banknotes will be placed there.

Fulifeng's financial strength is demonstrated in a place where everyone can see it.

Most of the farmers have never seen so much cash since they were born, and they wanted to get closer, but a dozen or so big and round guards stood in the middle to prevent anyone from getting close. The eyebrow-level sticks they held in their hands were enough to

Let some people who are ready to act stay sane.

However, this is not all of Furifeng's methods. Just behind the place where the rice is purchased is Furifeng's store. Any farmer who sells polished rice to Furifeng can go to the store to purchase with the settlement receipt.

All kinds of products enjoy a 10% discount.

Several glass counters have been set up at the entrance of the store, with a dazzling array of samples inside. There are toys for children, colorful floral fabrics, delicious soaps, shiny glass mirrors, and more.

Matches that light up when struck, various iron kitchen utensils... at a glance, there are at least hundreds of them.

There are also cigarettes and fine wines that I usually don't want to buy. I can buy them at Furifeng's store when there are discounts. They are much cheaper than what the salesmen in the country sell. And at this time, I don't have my own mother-in-law to take care of me.

People are planning to take this opportunity to purchase some.

After working hard for a whole year, it’s finally time to harvest. With some money in my pocket, I have to find a way to reward myself.

"Those who sell rice, come here and line up, register first, then inspect and weigh the goods, and settle the bill on the spot, so you can be honest!"

The high-spirited shopkeeper Jia stood on a high place and shouted with a tin trumpet. Already some farmers who couldn't restrain themselves came forward and sold the rice they brought, dividing it by two. After taking the cash, they went directly to the store behind.

Went shopping.

As long as someone can't hold back his anger and makes a move, others will naturally follow. Wait and see? No way. In the next few days, more and more rice will be shipped to Vung Tau Port. Will Fulifeng still be able to buy it?

It’s hard to say, but it’s better to sell it early when you can afford it.

And after they got the rice money from Shopkeeper Jia, they went into the store and exchanged the rice money for various Haihan products. The money was spinning in their hands, and before they could warm it up, they

It's back in Furifeng's pocket again.

Shopkeeper Jia looked at the long queue of rice farmers and couldn't help but have a proud smile on his face. Even if Furifeng did not purchase rice on a large scale in previous years, after all, with its comprehensive strength here, it is not difficult to break into this business.

.

Moreover, he recognized that farmers would inevitably have consumption needs after receiving cash, and launched promotional activities to meet such needs. He could complete the acquisition task and sell goods at the same time, which could be described as killing two birds with one stone.

As for those farmers who did not make rice into polished rice in advance, they also found that this year's rice and brown rice could not be sold at a high price. At the moment, they could only find a way to find a processing point nearby to see if they could complete the rice hulling at a relatively low cost.

and rice milling, and then try to sell it at a good price.

When I wrote about the purchase of military rations earlier, I thought of Mr. Ye Shengtao's "Collecting Three or Five Dou More Dou". These two chapters can be regarded as a small tribute.
