Chapter 475: Buy another one (Extra update 2 for Alliance Leader Mr. Liu)
There were so many people coming and going in the market; now was not the time to calculate accounts.
"Let's sell the things we brought first."
They only had one red-tailed bird fish from Ye Yaopeng, which had already been weighed at home. Now it could just be put into Ye Yaodong's goods to be sold together, and the money would be calculated for him after it was sold.
However, this time the goods Ye Yaodong brought were relatively scattered, with small quantities of each type, especially the fish, a pile of miscellaneous varieties, which made them hard to sell.
Ordinary people usually wholesale a certain number of jin of the same variety; his small quantities were really only suitable for ordinary peddlers to take a little for retail.
So this time he also sold for a relatively long time, unable to sell anything for a long time. It wasn't until dawn that he cleared the goods one after another. It really was all peddlers taking a little here and a little there, but there was still a little bit of Japanese grenadier and small yellow croaker left unsold.
He didn't intend to sell them anymore; anyway, it added up to only two or three jin. It was already dawn, and waiting any longer would be a waste of time. He would take them back for his children to steam and eat.
Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua, the two brothers, having nothing to do and being extremely curious, circled the market again and again.
The deafening, noisy clamor in their ears didn't dampen their passion, but only made them excited. Except for attending a fair, they had never seen a market with so many people.
They asked about the price of whatever goods they saw. It wasn't until Ye Yaodong had almost finished selling his goods that they returned, still wanting more.
"There are so many people in this market. People coming and going, coming and going, you can't even squeeze through..."
"I saw a lot of people queuing at the transaction point, everyone wants all kinds of seafood, and there are still people continuously sending seafood in from the back..."
Ye Yaodong said with plenty of experience, "This time of day is like this. At three or four o'clock, there are the most people, all rushing for the morning market to open. In the past, people had money but couldn't buy things; now is exactly the time for them to make up for it. City people aren't afraid of things being expensive, they're only afraid of not being able to buy them. Now everyone wants to buy everything to taste, and they aren't afraid of no one wanting it."
"That's the logic. Now, except for the supply and marketing cooperatives and state-run units, most things don't need coupons, and everyone is buying with all their might."
After seeing the crowded market with their own eyes, the two brothers had a few more points of confidence in buying a shop in the wholesale market.
"Let's go, let's go to the transaction point, handle the matter early and go back early."
"Alright, alright."
When they went, the transaction point was at its busiest, and the supervisors hadn't come yet, so Ye Yaodong took them out to the entrance to stroll around again.
It had just dawned outside, looking foggy, and the water vapor in the air was very heavy, giving people the feeling that it was about to rain. The entrance to the simple shed was also crowded everywhere, goods piled on goods, all kinds of human-powered carts were soliciting business, and the noise was deafening, not at all inferior to the liveliness inside the market.
The two brothers felt fresh again; this liveliness at the entrance was not inferior to a fair.
They strolled around the small stalls outside the market again. Everything was sold outside, not just seafood. Ye Yaodong saw that today some people were selling large mangoes and chestnuts, as well as some other things.
Thinking that his children had asked him last time if he had brought them anything, anyway, he had earned dozens of yuan on this trip, so he bought 5 large mangoes and four jin of chestnuts, intending to send half to A Guang's house for his younger sister to eat; pregnant women should eat more good things.
They strolled until it was completely bright. There were still many people at the entrance. Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua were reluctant to buy anything, not even a steamed bun, only taking out the eggs they had tucked in their pockets and squatting in a corner to eat them with tea.
Ye Yaodong was afraid that the meat bun in his hand would smell too good to them, so he walked to the side to eat.
If they hadn't come out, he would have helped them buy it inside the market. Now that they had come out to stroll, they were still reluctant to buy breakfast to eat; being this frugal was really beyond his expectations.
By the time they finished eating and re-entered the market, it had started to rain lightly outside. The peddlers had nowhere to hide and could only run while pushing their carts in the rain, or hurry into the market to hide from the rain while carrying shoulder poles. The business of rickshaws also improved.
When the three brothers went to buy a stall, they found that two people were already waiting there.
Ye Yaodong had originally wanted to wait for his two brothers to finish buying and go out before finding an excuse to come in and buy, but he heard that there were only the last five or six left, and after they were sold, they would have to wait a few months for the second batch of stalls to be released.
By then, the quantity wouldn't be as large as the first batch, and the price would have to be raised, possibly by 500-1,000 directly, so they should buy and cherish them.
This was terrible. If they didn't buy this time, the price would rise by 1,000 in a few months.
Ye Yaohua felt excited in his heart, feeling that he had earned it, and the price would rise immediately after they finished buying.
Ye Yaopeng's heart, which hadn't been very firm, suddenly became excited too. Buy early, earn early!
The two brothers automatically filtered out the 500 and only thought of the highest price increase of 1,000.
Ye Yaodong also quickly queued up behind his two brothers. This had to be bought early; if he waited for them to go out and then snuck in to buy, it might be gone.
When Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua saw Adong suddenly standing behind them, they hadn't thought much of it at first, but after both of them finished signing and paying, they found that he didn't know when he had a large stack of banknotes in his hand, and he also said he wanted to buy one.
The two brothers instantly widened their eyes, looking at him in disbelief.
"Dongzi? Didn't you already buy one?"
"Yeah, you're still buying?"
Ye Yaodong smiled, revealing his white teeth, and smiled at them and the supervisor. "There's no rule that one person can't buy two, right?"
The supervisor also smiled and gave him a thumbs up. "Young man has vision! You already bought one before?"
"Yeah, bought one the morning before yesterday. After going back and thinking about it, I felt the opportunity was rare. The prospects of this new market will definitely be good in the future. Once this opportunity is gone, there will be no such shop. Didn't you say the second batch of shops released would be few, and the price would rise? That scared me into taking out money to queue up immediately. I was originally still hesitating."
"That's how it is. Come, come, come, let me register one for you. You are the only one who bought two at once. You have courage, vision, and young people are decisive. We used a loudspeaker to promote the new market the day before yesterday, and more than thirty shops were almost sold out in just two days. You don't know how popular they are."
After speaking, he also shouted to the people standing at the door who were still hesitating: "Only the last shop left, it'll be gone after it's sold. Some people are even buying two, those who want it, hurry in."
Now the two people who were still hesitating instantly squeezed their heads, pulling and tugging, insisting they came first...
Ye Yaodong quickly handed over the money and asked him to register for him first, to avoid chaos.
After he collected the receipts and contracts, the two people were already cursing and fighting each other, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
The two brothers were still surprised by his decisiveness and also shocked that his family fortune was so abundant that he spent a large sum of money to buy two shops without hesitation.
After he finished signing and walked over, both of them pulled him and asked anxiously, "Dongzi, why did you buy another one? This is a lot of money..."
"Why did you suddenly buy another one? Didn't hear you say it yesterday..."
The two brothers were still hesitating and reluctant to spend money when buying one, never expecting him to buy two at once without feeling any heartache.
This was 6,000 yuan, and it had only been a year; he had saved up so much family fortune?
This was too shocking.
However, the two recalled that he had encountered big fish several times and had sold them for a large sum of money. Thinking that he had so much money, it seemed normal.
The pig raising registered in the newspaper could also earn a ten-thousand-yuan household in a year.
Ye Yaodong said as a matter of course, "Didn't you hear him say the price was going to rise? Must buy quickly. If you don't want it after buying it, wouldn't reselling it be getting hundreds or thousands of yuan for nothing?"
Originally, he hadn't intended to let his big brother and second brother know he had bought another one, but since the shops were almost gone, he couldn't hide it and had to buy it quickly.
"That's what you say, but haven't we seen the shop yet? And the money to be paid is too much. Who knows what it will be like later? Why are you so anxious?"
Ye Yaopeng still felt it was incredible. Dongzi was too decisive in buying! Money shouldn't be spent like this. Thinking about it, he felt heartache. If it were him, he would certainly be reluctant to buy two at once; one would be enough to make him struggle.
"Strike first, buy early, earn early. You don't need to worry about the future. Since you've bought it, think positively. This is a shop in the city anyway. And I have two sons, I have to give one to each, right? Otherwise, with only one shop, how will the two divide it later? They'll have to fight."
"Then you don't have to buy two, one for each is fine... This is 6,000 yuan..."
Although it wasn't his own money, Ye Yaohua also felt heartache for him, but he also felt a few more points of luck in his heart. Fortunately, he bought it.
Dongzi even bought two, so what did it count for them to buy one?
Moreover, his luck was indeed good. In just one year, Dongzi had saved up so much family fortune. Following him in the future would definitely be correct.
Ye Yaohua's heart couldn't help but firm up a few more points. Whatever Dongzi told him to do in the future, he would do! It definitely wouldn't be wrong!
Honest people sometimes think more simply than half-smart, half-stupid people, straight to the end.
Ye Yaopeng thought the same in his heart. Dongzi bought two, so him buying one didn't count for anything, and the price rose after buying. Thinking about it, he felt a little happy in his heart, feeling that he had bought it right, and there was no more hesitation as before.
"Isn't it that you only need to pay 500 yuan? It's not like all the money was paid immediately. Wait until the end of the year, there's still more than half a year. Let's work harder and earn more. As long as we are diligent, money will always be earned more and more."
Why did he make it sound so easy? Both of them had some illusions, as if they would have enough money by the end of the year.
"Does A Qing know?"
"Definitely, otherwise where would I get the money?"
"Oh, oh, then it's fine that you two discussed it. Hope the shop can earn more money in the future."
Father couldn't manage him, and his wife followed him, so what could they, as brothers, say?
And he bought another shop, which could be considered as giving them another reassurance; it definitely wouldn't be wrong.
