Chapter 14 Buying Food and Thinking
Zhang Quan returned to the earth again and carried out his routine tense and busy purchasing activities. There was no way, who let him take on a great responsibility now? The various things in this tribe are like selling ore, purchasing supplies, tribal management, planning development, etc., and everything faced by the small foundation of the current Key Mountain Tribe cannot do without him. He almost supported all of this alone.
Maintaining such a big stall is already overwhelming for an ordinary person like him who is not very capable. All this has come to this point, which is completely due to the ambition in his heart, and he is so tired.
But there is no way, who made him make this choice?
When he returned to the ancient city, the first and most important task he faced was still to purchase grain according to convention. He had already become familiar with this routine. He came to several grain shops on Cangnan Road, Jianxi District, the ancient city to place orders one by one. Who knew that this time it was a problem:
"What? It's out of stock! Lao Li, aren't you cheating me? I've said hello to you a long time ago." Zhang Quan was furious.
On the other hand, Mr. Li, the owner of Maoyuan Grain and Oil Food Store, was helpless and hurriedly explained to Zhang Quan carefully:
"Hey! No, no! Xiao Zhang, don't get me wrong. Big customers like you are the parents of our small shop! Even if we are ambitious, we don't dare to cheat you!"
"Then you still..."
"You should first calm down, calm down, sit down and have a cup of tea together, and let Lao Li come to explain it to you. What's going on..."
Zhang Quan was persuaded by Lao Li to overcome the toughness and listened to Lao Li Bai's life after a while, and then he realized the whole story of this matter.
It turns out that in recent times, Zhang Quan has frequently purchased goods from the ancient city grain market, which has made these private grain shop owners smile and make a lot of money. At the same time, they have finally accumulated a small amount, resulting in a small consequence.
In modern commodity society, all economic factors are very scientific and follow the strict and unchangeable laws of the market economy. Take the grain market for example. Except for a few wars and special majeure factors such as state procurement, in normal years, both the supply and demand sides of the market in each place tend to balance and the total volume also tend to stabilize. Even if some of the indicators fluctuate slightly, there will not be too much amplitude. It is easy to digest with the adjustments of some operating entities in the market. The many grain merchants in this ancient city have fixed numbers of daily trading and purchases.
However, this time Zhang Quan's frequent fixed-point procurement became a variable in the ancient city's grain market.
In the past month, Zhang Quan has to come to purchase every few days. Each time, it is a large purchase volume of several tons or dozens of tons, and it is getting more and more each time, and the total amount has reached hundreds of tons.
With such a large purchase volume, it is generally impossible for these grain shops designated by Zhang Quan to directly satisfy Zhang Quan. The boss of the store will immediately put so much goods in his hands! So when Zhang Quan encounters such a large purchase volume, he usually needs to borrow from his nearby peers. This will affect the local grain market in the ancient urban area.
Although the purchase volume of hundreds of tons of grain is not large, it has posed a threat to the supply balance of the grain market in the entire ancient city. It should be noted that for millions of citizens in the entire ancient city, the monthly grain consumption is only at the level of tens of thousands of tons. Compared with the level of hundreds of tons of grain, the level of hundreds of tons is enough to ineffective the market's own natural regulation ability.
Zhang Quan's career in the base mountain in another world has just begun to show his ability to stir up trouble in the earth's market economy.
So the problem Zhang Quan encountered this time was that in recent times, the entire grain trading market in Jianxi District had no surplus grain, and he could not afford his purchase volume this time. Of course, these bosses did not reject him. Who dared to reject such a large customer by doing business? They just said that it would take more time to transfer large quantities of grain. At least in the past half a month, with the ability of these bosses, they could not get food, so he had to find another way.
"Then what should you do now?" Zhang Quan said angrily, "Our business is not a matter of time once or twice. There will be a long way to go in the future. You must give me an explanation now!"
Old Li was very embarrassed to be squeezed by Zhang Quan, but he had to lick his face and come up:
"If you want to talk about this, there is a solution..."
Zhang Quan's eyes lit up and signaled him to continue,
Lao Li said: "The amount you want is indeed very large. Our local small business is really unaffordable, but he has it elsewhere!"
"Haha!" After saying that, Lao Li smiled awkwardly, and then said, "If you talk about this day, it is impossible to starve people to death. Food! Actually, there is so much food. But the real big-headed food is not with our small people, but it is all with the country."
Zhang Quan thought about it and was right. This dynasty system was destined to control the real strategic materials in the hands of the country and could not be in the market.
"If you want more, you have to find those grain wholesalers with a way. Not far away, Zhongzhou Grain Wholesale Market, the big companies there are all relying on the national strategic grain reserve database or people from the General Administration of Food. As long as you have money, how much grain can't be obtained? To be honest, our own grain is also wholesale from others!"
Zhang Quan heard this and said nothing.
Lao Li said again: "If you really want to do this business for a long time, it's better to go directly to Zhongzhou City to do wholesale grain, which is more cost-effective in price. I am familiar with this aspect and can help you think of a solution..."
"Oh, I have to thank Master Li for yourselves!" Zhang Quan was not pretentious and hurriedly took the opportunity to get on.
...
After struggling for a long time, he finally decided on the issue of bulk grain procurement with Lao Li. He asked Lao Li to order grain in Zhongzhou to earn some processing fees for others. This matter came to an end for the time being. Thanks to Zhang Quan who usually bought a lot of grain and had a considerable portion of the inventory in Base Mountain, otherwise the tribe would have been cut off in a few days.
However, after this matter was completed, Zhang Quan finally realized that he had been mainly busy in another world. The arrangement of the base camp on Earth was really different. It was like a hammer in the east and a hammer, and the purchase of hundreds of thousands or millions of bulk materials was like a commoner who went shopping in supermarkets. If there was no problem with this matter, he would have really seen a ghost.
After all, Zhang Quan was also a college student in the new era. He soon realized where the problem was. He began to seriously consider his arrangement on the earth.
The main problem Zhang Quan faces at present is how to maintain the continuous material flow on the earth. The main difficulty in maintaining this material flow is that Zhang Quan cannot guarantee that he can stay here forever.
Such a thing is really a bit difficult to say. He is now considered a self-made person. It should be noted that no matter how powerful the business on earth is, no matter how powerful the capital he is, when the business starts to conquer the world, he must do his best to do everything. Such a way of doing things like Zhang Quan is really a bit suspicious of fooling things.
But he really has no choice.
Zhang Quan calmed down and sorted out the whole story. Yes, I still need people and need reliable people to help him watch the plate.
