Fight the Giants

  Chapter 10 Middlemen

  Huo Xi figured it out.

   Now she wants to accumulate strength and earn money. There is a fire burning in my heart, which is getting stronger and stronger.

  Before Yang and Huo Erhuai adopted her siblings, they didn't starve them. She wants to make money, but she just wants to help share one or two. They spent a lot of money on her siblings. She knew they wanted to save money to live ashore.

  Buy an acre of homestead, build a simple house, and have a few acres of land, plant some food and vegetables, and usually go fishing. Only.

   She knows all of this. So usually do not reach out to them.

  She wants to earn money and help them share one or two burdens, and secondly, she also wants to do something of her own.

  I just want to inquire about the nanny, but I don’t have any money, not even the coppers to go to Zhuangzi by car to inquire.

  Now that the Wu family has been righted, the concubine she gave birth to became the eldest son in a blink of an eye. Mrs. Wu is now Mrs. Hou, and even her natal family followed the chickens and dogs to heaven. And the Huo family is just a poor fisherman who fishes in the Qinhuai River. They have no power, status, or status, so they are absolutely no match for the Wu family.

  Huo Xi wants to make money, a lot of money. If you have no power or power, you just use money to open the way. No matter how hard it is, there will always be a way out.

  Mother's revenge must be avenged.

  My younger brother was obviously born nearly a month ago, and the letter was sent back to the mansion, but now, it is announced to the outside world that my younger brother's dystocia is gone. The mother died twice.

  In the genealogy of the Zhang family, the name of the eldest son of the first wife, the younger brother, cannot be absent.

cannot. She doesn't agree!

   "Father, mother, in the past two days, you have spent a lot of money on seeing a doctor and buying medicine for me. Not only did you spend all the money you earned from fishing these days, but you even took out the money you saved before..."

   Yang interrupted her: "Xi'er, you don't have to worry about money. If your father and I go farther, we can save some money by playing a few more games a day. You won't be hungry."

Huo Xi knew that the Yang couple wanted to go ashore this winter. None of their children survived, but now they raised Nian'er. He was afraid that Nian'er would not be able to grow up if he floated in the river in winter, so he secretly tried to save more. some silver.

  But now she spends two taels when she gets sick.

  Huo Xi wanted to do something. Only then did I tell the fishermen to collect crabs in the morning.

  Huo Erhuai and Yang did not blame Huo Xi for making his own decisions. The husband and wife felt that Huo Xi had always done things in a systematic way, and told everyone that he would collect crabs. Although the husband and wife were surprised, they only thought that she was worried about the family's livelihood, so they comforted her not to worry.

   "Xi'er, why do you want to collect crabs? Can you sell them?" Yang Fu knew that Huo Xi wanted to make money, and so did he.

   But collect crabs? Won't others sell it themselves?

  But Huo Xi has his own ideas.

  The Double Ninth Festival is approaching, and the capital has always had the habit of climbing high on the Double Ninth Festival, admiring chrysanthemums, drinking chrysanthemum wine and eating crabs. The demand for crabs will thus greatly increase.

  But the fishing of crabs is not as good as that of fish, as one net can catch many. Sometimes I can't touch one or two in a day.

  The fishermen hold it in their hands, three or two, which is really not a good thing.

  But Huo Xi actually had no idea.

  I told everyone what was in my heart, and saw the three of them frowning. Huo Xi comforted: "Father and mother, you don't have to worry about the money. I just want to try. I have a piece of jade pendant. When I get it at the **** shop, I will have the money to collect the crab."

   "That's impossible! How can it be your jade pendant." Huo Erhuai waved his hand. Xi'er is also doing it for the sake of her family, so she has to use her personal jade pendant as a pawn.

   Moreover, what if her evil relatives are looking for her and find out. He couldn't bear to raise Xi'er and Nian'er for so long.

  Yang also pressed her hand: "Don't worry, we still have two taels of silver at home. If it's not enough, Mother still has a pair of dowry bracelets."

   "Thank you mother, thank you father."

   "Hey, family, don't say those outrageous things."

  So the family agreed to take two taels of silver as the capital of crab collection, and tried to do this business.

After the discussion, Mrs. Yang pushed her into the cabin to rest: "You and your uncle go to the cabin to watch Nianer, your father and I will row the boat further today, catch a few more nets, and go to the dense water and grass in the afternoon. Let’s see if we can catch some crabs and sell them for a few bucks.”

   "Yes." Huo Xi responded and entered the cabin.

  In the cabin, Huo Nian was still sleeping, Yang Fu pulled her and asked, "Xi'er, what if we can't sell it? Did you find a buyer?"

  Huo Xi shook his head.

ah? Dare to accept crabs without finding a buyer? If all the big guys are sent to them, who are they going to sell them to? Then get it to sell in the street market? The purchase price is 10% higher than the market price, which is a loss of money.

  Yang Fuchou scratched his forehead.

  In case you can’t sell it, eat it every day, just like that little dried fish that can never be eaten.

  Yang Fu shuddered Lingling.

  Huo Xi only knows that this business can be done, but in fact he has no idea.

  She knows that the demand for festival products will have a blowout before the festival. As long as you find the right way, the capital has a population of one million, and you are not afraid that you will not be able to sell it. And as long as you sell it, you will have money in your pocket.

   These days they are all merchants, opening a shop and setting up a small stall, waiting for people to come to their door. At most it was a few yells. There are very few door-to-door sales.

  General production doesn't care about sales, and those who manage sales have no ability to produce, and the same goes for fishing. With a good mouth, the catch is not as good as others. Those who catch more fish are clumsy and tongue-twisting, and the money they sell is not as much as others.

  Now Huo Xi is going to be a middleman, and the original goods are available, but where is the market?

  Although there are many people in the outer city, the consumer market is far inferior to that in the inner city.

   And the inner city, is she going?

  Huo Xi didn't go fishing with her that day, she dragged Yang Fu into the city.

   Disguised and changed, and asked Yang Fu: "How?"

  Yang Fu opened his mouth wide open, and took Huo Xi's hand to look back and forth. What kind of hands are these? After such a change of appearance, let alone a girl, even his sister and brother-in-law standing in front of him would not be able to recognize this black boy as his family's Xi'er.

   "Xi'er, this is you!" Yang Fu gave Huo Xi a thumbs up.

  Huo Xi smiled, and put down her heart. Pulling Yang Fu around in the residential area of ​​the inner city.

  The east is close to the imperial city, which is the place where aristocratic families live, and the west is the rich merchants. Huo Xi didn't go to the east and west.

   These people have money, but they're not what she's trying to sell. Most of these families have Zhuangzi, and the vegetables they eat will be supplied to the mansion on time, and most of the mansions without Zhuangzi also have fixed purchasing channels.

   Only pulled Yang Fu to the north-south direction of the inner city.

   Now that the new dynasty has just come into being, many upstarts have suddenly poured into the capital, and there are probably quite a few offshoots who cling to the life of these upstarts, and there are probably many old relatives by marriage. For a while, these people will be afraid that they haven't bought a suitable Zhuangzi, have no connections, and their eyes will be dark.

  The Double Ninth Festival is approaching, and you have to socialize everywhere. If you want to gain a firm foothold in Beijing, you cannot be compared to others.

  If other people have it, if you don’t have it, you will lose face.

   In addition, the small rich family with no branches and no vines, single-handedly, wants to hang out in the inner city, not to mention that they want to use festivals to cling to the powerful, socialize and eat, but only say that they eat at home, and crabs are indispensable.

  Even if it suits a scene.

  Yang Fu admired Huo Xi so much.

Seeing her walking through the alleys of Lilong as easily as if she was at home, dealing with the housekeepers with ease, giving coins to the doormen without changing her face, a black boy from a poor fisherman, generous with officials and rich dealing with people.

  Yang Fu's heart was pounding, and it took him a while to get over his timidity.

  In just half a day, Huo Xi won orders from seven or eight companies, which was quite a lot.

   "Wipe it, the drool is about to fall."

  Yang Fu just closed his mouth and looked at Huo Xi with stars in his eyes, "Xi'er, how do you know so much? Are you not afraid?"

Afraid? There is nothing to be afraid of.

  The worst result is that the business fails. Can you still hit her or what?

  Huo Xi just started working in his previous life, and what he did was sales. After two years of sweeping the building, he gradually opened up the situation. The mouth is also sharp, and the skin is as thick as a city wall. It feels abnormal not to be rejected or scolded several times a day.

  These are just experiences on the road to success. The process is not important, but the result is important.

   The result is nothing, everything is empty.

  Before sunset, the uncle and nephew had already received orders for more than 30 crabs, and many others needed chrysanthemums, but Huo Xi only agreed to help find them.

  The aquaculture and planting industries are not on a large scale these days, and it takes manpower, material and financial resources to search for them if necessary. Generally, small households do not have the effort and energy.

  Chrysanthemum list, Huo Xi knows that there are a few big families with chrysanthemums, but it's hard to say whether they will sell it to her. She was going to ask her father to ask, if she could buy some, she could also transport them to the capital to make a profit.

   But in this way, the family's money is really not enough.

  The jade pendant on her body cannot be pawned, and her mother’s dowry cannot be sold, so where will the money come from?
