Chapter 808

Wang An looked at Ye Qingfeng, who was in a proud mood, and wanted to give him a few pointers, but after thinking about it, he felt it wasn't necessary.

So, Wang An didn't lie and said:

"I have nearly 2,000 jin of fine grain coupons. How much coarse grain coupons can I exchange for?"

Ye Qingfeng said without hesitation:

"We want to save trouble, so if a scalper wants fine grain coupons, they use 4.5 jin of coarse grain coupons to exchange for 1 jin of fine grain coupons; if a scalper wants coarse grain coupons, it's 1 jin of fine grain coupons to exchange for 4 jin of coarse grain coupons."

Afraid Wang An wouldn't understand, Ye Qingfeng explained again:

"If we want one jin of fine grain coupons, we use 4 jin of coarse grain coupons to exchange; if we want coarse grain coupons, we use 1 jin of fine grain coupons to exchange for 4.5 jin of coarse grain coupons."

This sounds a bit awkward, because it is very obvious that no matter how it is exchanged, the people at the grain station don't lose out, and the people who lose out are always the scalpers.

But after Ye Qingfeng finished speaking, Wang An understood what was going on.

Because the reason for such an exchange that violates common sense is that fine grain coupons are obviously scarcer and more valuable than coarse grain coupons.

On the surface, if a scalper has 1 jin of fine grain coupons, they can only exchange for 4 jin of coarse grain coupons at the grain station, but in the hands of ordinary people, they can exchange for 4.5 jin of coarse grain coupons.

Looking at it this way, it seems like scalpers can make a fortune.

But in fact, this kind of exchange is extremely rare, and even non-existent.

Because ordinary people, in order to eat their fill, choose to use fine grain coupons to exchange for coarse grain coupons!

You have to know that when you can't even eat, no one will consider the problem of whether the food is good or not.

So, the actual transaction is that ordinary people use one jin of fine grain coupons to exchange for 3.5 jin of coarse grain coupons in the hands of scalpers.

Then the scalpers use this one jin of fine grain coupons to exchange for 4 jin of coarse grain coupons at the grain station.

As for the grain station employees taking the initiative to use 1 jin of fine grain coupons to find scalpers to exchange for 4.5 jin of coarse grain coupons, and ordinary people taking the initiative to use 4.5 jin of coarse grain coupons to find scalpers to exchange for one jin of fine grain coupons, it cannot be said that they don't exist, but they are definitely quite rare.

Anyway, the final result is that the scalpers earn half a jin of coarse grain coupons from the ordinary people, and how much the grain station employees earn is a mystery.

Because the fine grain coupons in the hands of grain station employees are to be circulated to those who want to eat fine grain, and in this era, people who can eat fine grain every meal, how could they be ordinary people?

So, Wang An pointed to the core of the problem and said:

"Then how do you trade with those staff members and cadres?"

Ye Qingfeng thought for a while, as if he was pondering whether he should tell Wang An these things.

But Ye Qingfeng still told the truth:

"One jin of fine grain coupons exchanges for 4.5 jin of coarse grain coupons; sometimes when there are few fine grain coupons, it's 4.8 jin, but most of the time, they are sold directly."

After Ye Qingfeng finished speaking, Wang An nodded and said:

"Hmm, that's okay. Let's just go with 4.5 jin. If you can exchange for 4.8 jin, then the remaining 0.3 jin is yours."

Ye Qingfeng immediately blocked him very excitedly:

"That definitely won't work, big brother. If I earn your money, am I still human?"

Wang An patted Ye Qingfeng on the shoulder and interrupted directly:

"Alright, alright, let's just do it this way. Maybe in a few days fine grain won't be worth anything, and then you won't even be able to exchange for 4.5 jin of coarse grain coupons."

Wang An's words are not alarmist, because the south started dividing fields one to two years earlier than the north, so by the time the first season of grain in the south comes down in July, the grain here in the Northeast won't need to support other places in large quantities.

In this way, the demand for both coarse and fine grain will be relieved a lot. Ye Qingfeng was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but didn't insist anymore; after all, one jin of fine grain coupons exchanging for 4.5 jin of coarse grain coupons is normal, and 4.8 jin is indeed a bit too high.

Just like that, Wang An handed 1,500 jin of fine grain coupons to Ye Qingfeng, and Ye Qingfeng turned around to find his colleagues.

Soon, Ye Qingfeng came back with 6,750 jin of coarse grain coupons.

After thinking about it, Wang An bought another 1,000 jin of black beans that didn't require coupons; it wasn't that he didn't want to buy more, but mainly because the four-wheeled vehicle couldn't fit them.

Don't say it, although the price of black beans is more expensive than corn, using this stuff to feed mules and horses is really damn powerful. After feeding for this period, the mules and horses at Wang An's house, including the donkeys, have hair that looks shiny.

The most important thing is that buying this stuff doesn't require coupons.

As for loading the vehicle, it was the same procedure as last time, but this time after loading, although Ye Qingfeng still wanted to invite the three of them to drink, he was politely refused by Wang An.

To be honest, it was mainly because Wang An was a bit afraid of being "borrowed for seed."

After leaving the grain station, Seeing Mu Xueli finally couldn't help but say enviously:

"Brother-in-law, the life of these people at the grain station is really comfortable. Just exchange a little, and a big handful of grain coupons is in hand. It's damn awesome."

When Wang Li heard this, he also said enviously:

"Hmm, if only I could get such a job."

Wang An rolled his eyes at the two of them and said unhappily:

"Look at how useless you two are. Can you earn more than you do now by doing this job? Can you live as well as you do now? Besides, it's like I don't want to do this job."

The first two sentences made Seeing Mu Xueli and Wang Li feel a bit embarrassed; after all, if it weren't for Wang An taking them with him, they would still be struggling on the line of food and clothing.

But Wang An's last sentence immediately made Seeing Mu Xueli and Wang Li stunned.

After being stunned, Seeing Mu Xueli suddenly asked with a cheap smile:

"Brother-in-law, why don't we find Brother Wu and the others and let them get you a job too? And then when you're awesome, arrange me and Old Five in too. What do you think, brother-in-law?"

Wang An bragged excitedly:

"This works. When the three of us are awesome, won't this DJ County be decided by the three of us? Hahahaha..."

After Wang An finished speaking, he laughed loudly, and Seeing Mu Xueli and Wang Li also laughed along.

It was very obvious that everyone knew Wang An was bragging.

After a while, Wang An drove the four-wheeled vehicle and glanced at Seeing Mu Xueli and Wang Li sitting on the left and right tire covers, suddenly discovering that bringing them to the county town was purely damn redundant.

The main thing is that bringing them along meant Wang An couldn't go find Fang Xiue to talk nonsense; you have to know that Wang An hadn't had sex for a long time again.

Besides, about the scar removal medicine, Wang An still didn't know what was going on; the key is that Wu Dong and Wang Shuai didn't know what they were busy with recently.

A business as profitable as a pharmaceutical factory should be taken seriously.

After thinking about it, Wang An suddenly had a plan.

That is, after processing this grain, let Seeing Mu Xueli and Wang Li drive back first, and then he would go back after having sex in the county town.
