Chapter 104: Is it OK to exchange pork for coal?

He took a deep breath and asked, "Are you sure there is so much pork?"

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have told you."

Just at this moment, A Sheng pushed the door open from the outside.

When he came in just now, he did not bring Ah Sheng and the others in because he was afraid of scaring people.

"Where did the dog come from?" The manager quickly prepared to fight back.

"Don't be nervous, this is my dog, they don't bite anyone casually."

Hearing what Li Jiayi said, the manager breathed a sigh of relief, but still did not let down his guard.

After all, this dog is too scary. It says it won’t bite, but what if it actually does?
However, after seeing these three big wolfhounds, the manager also believed what Li Jiayi said.

In this day and age, people can't even get enough to eat, so who would keep a dog? And there are three of them. Looking at their heads, they must have eaten good food to grow so big!

"Just tell me how much coal you want, and I'll see if I can give it to you," said the manager.

"Of course the more the better. It's up to you! If you have coal, I have meat."

"Hiss," the manager took another breath and said, "Okay, wait a moment, I'll go ask."

"Ok!"

The manager hurriedly walked out of the office, not knowing who to ask, but it had nothing to do with him.

In this era, meat is hard currency, especially pork.

This is also the reason why Li Jiayi proposed to exchange meat, because he knew that no one would refuse this proposal.

Just as he thought, the manager did not refuse.

About ten minutes later, the manager returned to the office, followed by a middle-aged man.

Before Li Jiayi could say anything, the manager said, "This is the dispatch of our coal yard. We can give you 100 tons of coal, but you have to let me see the pork first."

"No problem. It's okay for you to bring the pork back first."

The manager opened his mouth in surprise and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Of course. Let's calculate how much pork is needed for one hundred tons of coal, and then go and get it back."

Now the manager became curious about Li Jiayi's identity.

What kind of identity is this? Or what does this kid's family do? So much pork was just brought back, aren't you worried that he won't give you coal?

Thinking of this, the manager shook his head with a wry smile. Since they dare to give you the meat first, they don’t worry at all that you won’t give them coal.

"Okay, that's fine, but what kind of coal do you want?"

"Of course it's the best coal." Li Jia said without thinking.

"The best coal is anthracite, which costs 40 yuan a ton. 100 tons costs 4,000 yuan."

The 45 yuan per ton mentioned before is the price if you buy it in the city with a coal ticket, not the price at this coal yard.

This is a mining area! All the coal mined from the coal mines will be sent to the coal yard.

The price is definitely cheaper than in the city, but not much cheaper, after all, it is public property.

"Okay, I think you know the price of pork. Without coupons, it's at least one dollar per pound. But you didn't ask for coal coupons, so I'll charge you eighty cents per pound. What do you think?"

"Ok, Ok."

Although no one asked for tickets, it was obvious that coal tickets were worthless, while meat tickets were quite expensive.

Besides, Li Jiayi did not calculate the price based on ticket prices, otherwise pork would only be 65 cents per pound.

Everyone understood it, so no one said anything, and the price given by Li Jiayi could be said to be very reasonable.

At 80 cents per pound, 4,000 yuan is 5,000 pounds of pork. This is nothing to Li Jiayi, but with these 100 tons of coal, he doesn't need to worry about running out of coal for the next ten years.

You have to know that as time goes by, coal becomes harder to buy. In order to buy some good coal, many people even find someone to use backdoor channels.

The cost would be very high. It would be possible to deliver several hundred kilograms of coal through Daqianmen.

You have to know how much a few hundred kilograms of coal costs! But from this we can also see how difficult it is to buy coal.

There is no way. The domestic industry is just starting out, and power generation in particular requires a lot of coal.

All factories also need coal, and the use of coal by residents will only decrease, not increase.

This is also the reason why he needs to change so much coal at once.

Soon a vehicle lined up at the coal yard. Of course, it was a coal-carrying vehicle. There were no cars or other vehicles here.

"Let's go!" Li Jiayi said to the driver after climbing into the passenger seat.

This time, it wasn't just him and the driver who went there; the manager was also in the car.

There were also two coal yard workers and the dispatcher, but they could only sit in the back car.

Fortunately, it is not cold now, and there is nothing to do in the carriage except eating some coal ash.

As for Li Jiayi's three wolfhounds, they did not get on the car, but ran on the ground following the car.

To be honest, the speed of a car is really not as fast as that of a dog, especially on a mountain road like this.

Twenty minutes later, the vehicle arrived in front of a mountain and Li Jiayi hurriedly asked the driver to stop.

"Why are you stopping here?" the manager asked.

"I'll go down and see if the meat has been delivered."

"Ah!" The manager looked at Li Jiayi in surprise and asked, "Send the meat here?"

"Yes." Li Jia nodded and said, "You will know in a moment."

Li Jiayi got out of the car and pretended to walk a little further inside. There were many trees at the foot of the mountain.

Before he had walked far, he could no longer see the coal truck, and then he waved his hand and a pile of pork appeared on the ground.

Of course, Li Jiayi was still very particular. He laid a canvas on the ground instead of placing it directly on the ground.

Not only that, but it was also covered with something, and there were also some leafy branches and other things placed on top.

Less than five minutes later, Li Jiayi came out of the woods and shouted, "Come in and move the things."

Hearing what he said, the manager was stunned for a moment and quickly asked everyone to get out of the car.

When the group of people came to where the pork was placed and lifted up the things on top, they were all stunned.

It was probably the first time for them to see so much pork!
But the manager was sighing that the person behind Li Jiayi was truly extremely powerful.

He absolutely did not believe that this was something a child could do. He probably let Li Jiayi come out on purpose, and someone was following nearby.

It can even be said that their every move is now under surveillance by others.

Li Jiayi scratched his head and said, "Manager, we brought in a little too much meat. There are 6,000 kilograms of meat in total."

Before the manager could say anything, the dispatcher said, "It doesn't matter. If we want an extra thousand pounds of meat, we can just give them some more coal."

After saying this, the dispatcher turned around and looked at the manager and winked at him.

How could the manager not know what he was thinking? No matter who it was, he would not let go of so much meat!

As for coal, just over-report the loss. At worst, you can report less once and report more a few times.
