Chapter 256 Profit and Birdcage

"You're really strong."

You Fengxia smacked her lips.

"Have you forgotten what I do? I'll let you work as a fitter for half a year, and you'll be energetic."

Chen Jianye grinned.

"Come, help me put the basket on the scale, I'll write down how many pounds it weighs."

You Fengxia quickly gave instructions.

If Chen Jianye left, she wouldn't be able to lift the bamboo basket by herself, let alone weigh it.

Chen Jianye held the bamboo basket with one hand and placed it on the scale to weigh it.

The scale in the bungalow can weigh up to 500 kilograms, and there are three weights on it, corresponding to different weights.

You Fengxia placed the appropriate weights and gently turned the balance dial.

When the balance bar of the scale swings up and down and slowly becomes parallel, the number on the scale is the most accurate weight of the item on the scale.

"This basket weighs 204 kilograms."

You Fengxia wrote it down and gave Chen Jianye a look.

Chen Jianye took the bamboo basket off the scale and replaced it with another one.

"Two hundred and three pounds."

"Two hundred and five pounds."

"Two hundred and three pounds."

You Fengxia counted them one by one.

"Where's Jibin? When will he come?"

Chen Jianye asked.

"Brother Bin should be chatting with other traders at the black market right now. At twelve o'clock, he will pull a cart over and take today's supplies to the black market to set up a stall to sell."

You Fengxia explained.

"So will you continue to stay here, or go to the black market to sell things?"

Chen Jianye asked curiously.

"You must sell it on the black market."

"The door is locked here, don't worry about it."

"If there are not enough supplies, I will find Brother Bin and ask him to send them over."

You Fengxia said.

Chen Jianye probably understood.

To put it bluntly, Qiu Jibin's job is actually very simple. It is nothing more than the two procedures of obtaining goods and selling them.

The difficult part is how to get the goods.

This requires a lot of connections.

Connections are the key to being a trader.

As for sales, this thing is equally important, but certainly not as important as getting goods.

Now You Fengxia helps Qiu Jibin with two major tasks: warehouse management and sales.

It really saved Qiu Jibin a lot of time and energy.

Qiu Jibin can spend more time making connections and gathering information.

This way, he can do more.

"Then you go ahead and do your work. I'm going back now."

Chen Jianye waved his hand.

"Ah."

You Fengxia responded.

Chen Jianye got on his bike and left.

After returning to the courtyard, he climbed over the wall and entered the house, then quietly entered the Chen family.

The next day.

Chen Jianye woke up early and looked down at his wife lying in his arms.

After a night's rest, he had some more energy left in his body.

He immediately woke up Ran Qiuye gently and did the things between husband and wife.

After giving all his savings to Ran Qiuye, Chen Jianye got up and started to make breakfast.

When the house was filled with fragrant smells, Ran Qiuye woke up in a daze.

Two people enjoying breakfast.

Afterwards, Ran Qiuye took the dishes and went to the front yard to wash them.

Wait for Ran Qiuye to come back.

Chen Jianye said, "Wife, let's go to my cousin's house this afternoon. It's our last day off. If we don't go, we'll have to wait until the weekend."

"Can we go to my mother's house first?"

Ran Qiuye sat next to Chen Jianye, with a bit of pleading in her eyes: "I miss my parents."

"Then let's go in the afternoon. See what you can bring with you."

"Do you want me to go to my childhood friend's place and buy some skin care products or something?"

Chen Jianye said casually.

You can go to Ran's house or Mei's house, it's all about the back and forth.

"That's not necessary. I can just pick one around the house."

Ran Qiuye said.

"Okay, you can do it yourself."

Chen Jianye waved his hand.

The day before his wedding, he had taken out a lot of good things from his personal space and placed them at home.

A lot of cigarettes, alcohol and tea were taken out.

When visiting relatives and friends, you cannot go empty-handed.

Ran Qiuye can just take whatever you want.

Then Chen Jianye continued reading.

After they finished their lunch at noon, Ran Qiuye came back from washing the dishes. Chen Jianye carried her to the bed and did it again.

Ran Qiuye felt numb all over and fell into a deep sleep.

Chen Jianye was in good spirits and continued reading.

dong dong.

There was a knock at the door.

"Jianye, your childhood friend is here again."

The voices of the three aunts rang out.

"Here come the three aunts."

Chen Jianye opened the door and saw Qiu Jibin and Yang Haoming behind the three aunts, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Jianye."

"Jianye."

Qiu Jibin and Yang Haoming greeted each other.

Chen Jianye smiled and nodded, took out a candy and handed it to Auntie San: "Auntie San, thank you for your hard work."

"What's the hard part? It's just a walk."

The three aunts happily took the candy and turned to leave.

Qiu Jibin and Yang Haoming entered the room.

Chen Jianye poured water for the two of them.

"Where's my sister-in-law?"

Qiu Jibin looked around the room and asked.

"sleeping."

"What's up with you two?"

Chen Jianye said calmly.

"I sold all those things yesterday, and I owe you the money."

Qiu Jibin felt relieved and took out a stack of money from his pocket.

"How many?"

Chen Jianye took the money and a smile appeared on his face.

"One hundred and eighty-four dollars and twenty cents."

Qiu Jibin reports the number.

Chen Jianye was not polite and counted on the spot.

He does not have the character of people in Beijing who are ashamed to talk about money.

As for business, the price should be the price.

If we count the items in person, there won’t be so much hassle afterwards and everyone feels relaxed.

After confirming the amount was correct, Chen Jianye put the money in his pocket and said, "Very good. Wait a week for the next batch of goods. I will still deliver it at around 10 o'clock in the evening."

"safe."

Qiu Jibin's face was full of smiles.

As long as the supply is stable, he can make money from every batch of goods.

Even if you make one cent per kilogram, 800 kilograms would be eight dollars.

Chen Jianye supplies him with goods two or three times a month, which means a net profit of more than 20 yuan.

Moreover, food is very easy to sell and there is no risk of backlog.

"Jianye, didn't you ask me to help you look for antiques last time? I came across a good one, I wonder if you are interested."

Yang Haoming said.

"What the hell, tell me."

Chen Jianye asked.

With money in hand and a steady stream of sources for making money, Chen Jianye feels very confident.

"It's a birdcage. To be more precise, it's a large-leaf Huanghuali birdcage for fortune, wealth, longevity, happiness and prosperity."

"It is said that Prince Beile has three treasures: a walnut ring and a bird in a cage. The bird cage is what Prince Beile uses to keep his bird."

"Those princes play with the most advanced craftsmanship and luxury, and the bird cages they use are also unique."

"The birdcage that person wanted to sell this time must have been used by the prince. It's hard to estimate the price, so I didn't buy it. I want to ask for your opinion."

Yang Haoming paused and said.

"Where is that person? I can take a look."

Chen Jianye was moved.

Bird cages may seem insignificant, but they are actually very expensive after the country's economic boom.

The top-quality bird cages have been sold for hundreds of millions of dollars at Christie’s auctions.

A rare but very expensive collectible.

Of course, collectors at this stage really have no idea of ​​the price of bird cages.

Because this thing is useless, we can call it an antique, it seems so, but its value is hard to tell.

Porcelain, calligraphy, and paintings can be said to represent the top ancient craftsmanship or works of masters, and have heritage and cultural value.

Bird cages don't seem to have anything to do with culture or heritage.

So the price is difficult to determine.

But Chen Jianye was different. He knew that the birdcage would be really valuable in the future.

For example, a bird cage that is currently worth thirty yuan could be auctioned for thirty million yuan in the future.

A full million times appreciation.

For Chen Jianye, an item that can appreciate in value a million times is worth buying.
