Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 508 Sales around Taihu Lake

Starting from Jinling, this time Qin Dahe drove and Erhu helped to look at the map.

The total distance is about 280 kilometers. It would take three hours to get there by highway, but the highway has not been opened here yet.

The road conditions are not very good either. Although Jiangsu and Zhejiang are developed, they have not yet started to regulate the 100-ton trucks, and the national and provincial highways are still under pressure.

The Hundred-Ton King is not a 100-ton car, but a train trailer that starts at 100 tons and has no upper limit. One locomotive carries several carriages.

As long as you take care of it locally, short-distance transportation will not be a problem at all.

We drove until half past twelve before arriving in Yixing.

The two brothers were so hungry that they couldn't stand it anymore. Although there was bread in the car, they still got out and had a hot meal.

The semi-trailer is slow, so there is no fear of being ahead.

However, Master Ruan always eats dry food in the car for such urgent orders, and it is estimated that he can arrive at the destination by four o'clock in the afternoon.

After dinner, he drank another bottle of soda, got in the car, and let Erhu drive again.

It is much more comfortable for two people to drive and not tiring at all.

I even drove the car to the edge of Taihu Lake for a stroll.

The vastness of Taihu Lake is truly shocking. The boundless lake surface is like the sea, with strong winds and waves.

I heard from Liu that there are fishing clubs in cities around Taihu Lake, and many professional teams have been formed in the past two years.

Even many professional anglers from Hubei have come here to settle down permanently. After all, international competitions are definitely more valuable than local ones.

At present, domestic platform fishing is still not very popular, and the island country's bass fishing is considered to be a specialty, even surpassing silver carp and bighead carp.

However, with the release of various teaching CDs by Qin Dahe, the basic knowledge of domestic anglers has been greatly supplemented.

There is also the rise of silver carp and bighead carp bait, and many fishermen who can pull up to 200 kilograms have appeared in Taihu Lake.

You know, the champion of last year's International Invitational Tournament weighed only 190 kilograms, and there is a high probability that he will not be able to retain his title this year.

Those who fish for bass don’t go to the loach nest to compete with the silver carp and bighead carp.

After crossing Taihu Lake, Jiaxing was right in front of us. Although we had lunch and took a detour on the way, we arrived at the destination at 3:20.

As usual, the payment was made in cash, and a large bundle of cash was put into the car again. In Jiaxing, it was also 10,000 kilograms, plus a rebate of 1,000 kilograms.

Currently, the four major agents in Shanghai and Hubei account for 15,000 kilograms, and the markets in these two places are expanding visibly.

"Boss Zhang, have you sold out last month's inventory?"

At the entrance of the fishing tackle shop, Boss Zhang set up a tea table and invited the two to have tea.

"This"

"Don't worry, whether you have sold out or not, it will definitely be counted as sold out."

He also knew the other party's concerns. If he exchanged inventory for rebates, the stricter manufacturers would not honor them.

"In half a month, I sold over 7,000 kilograms. This was mainly because I established connections with fishing tackle stores in various counties and cities around Taihu Lake. This is where the bulk of my sales come from."

Qin Dahe nodded. This was the style of a professional businessman. If he could see a profitable business, he would rush to open up the market.

Lao Xu is being more relaxed and is still waiting for the major fishing tackle stores to come to him.

Fortunately, the counties and cities around Taihu Lake in Jiangsu were given to Liu Da. He has the help of his family, so opening up the market is just a matter of a word.

"Musk medicinal wine and fruit flavors are also selling well. We ordered 600 bottles this time, and we will probably have to restock them later as there are many competitions in Taihu Lake coming up." Boss Zhang was pleasantly surprised when he thought of the price increase of musk medicine.

The profit of one bottle is three yuan. It is small in size and easy to transport. This month, 600 bottles will arrive and half of them will be delivered, which is also very profitable.

"Haha, I hope it sells quickly. I've ordered ten more musks. This stuff is really expensive, not much cheaper than gold." Qin Dahe said with a painful look on his face.

There are only 891 grams of gold, and the musk is directly dried to 65 grams, which costs more than 1,000 yuan each.

Of course, the profit is also very high. The cost of a jar of medicinal wine is 1,400 yuan, which can be filled into 800 small bottles. If the wholesale price is 10 yuan, the profit is five or six times.

This is the secret recipe price, which is completely different from the silver carp and bighead carp bait sold in large quantities.

"You are really willing to spend a lot of money."

"Although our products are expensive, the materials used are definitely not inferior. You can rest assured about this."

While we were chatting and laughing, Banhang came.

"Let's go unload the cargo."

After unloading more than 10,000 kilograms of cargo, it was already 4:30.

There was no time to waste, I had to follow the car to Shanghai. I said goodbye hastily, and the two cars set off one after the other. When we arrived at the XH district, the semi-trailer was stopped by the traffic police.

It's the evening rush hour now. Liu, the idiot, opened his shop in the commercial center of Xuhui, and you can't get in until 6:30.

He had no choice but to invite Master Ruan and the others to a restaurant for dinner first, as there was no rush at the moment.

"Boss Qin, if we are delivering goods tomorrow, can we park the car in the factory at night?" Master Ruan said in embarrassment.

"That's no problem. Are you worried about gas thieves?"

"Yeah, a tank of gas costs several thousand. I was parked here once last time. It would be best to have a safe place to park." He said with a wry smile.

Nowadays, driving a semi-trailer car really makes money, but it is also really hard work.

In order to save time, the car basically did not stop along the way as there was cargo on it, and people ate, drank and urinated in the car.

Long distances are even more difficult. When you stop at night, you have to pay protection fees wherever you go. They tell you the truth directly. After paying the money, you can just sleep peacefully at night.

Don't pay? Then wait, your oil may be stolen, or even your goods may be stolen.

If you are unfamiliar with the place, calling the police may not be effective.

"Master Ruan, you saw me this time. We'll soon have another cooperative in Xuhui," Qin Dahe said with a smile. "We have to make at least one trip every month during the peak season."

"That's great. I'll help you run from now on." His eyes lit up.

This type of fixed-route order is the easiest to handle. By calculating the fuel consumption, the container will be empty when it arrives at the destination in the evening and the goods will have been shipped.

Just find a hotel to sleep in, and then look for orders the next day. There is no shortage of goods in Shanghai.

"Haha, let's cooperate first. Maybe we can build a factory next year, and then we'll have more."

"Then I will definitely take good care of you." He is definitely willing to run east. Not only is it safe, but there are plenty of orders, and the owner pays well.

Running west is the most frightening, as the toll is the highest.

Qin Dahe just smiled and didn't mean to give him the orders all the time.

If there is a boat, we will definitely give it priority, but this thing depends on when Ah Hu passes by, which is extremely inconvenient.

Next, let’s look at Master Ruan’s performance. Uncle Biao’s car is still a bit small. In the future, he will definitely be able to carry dozens of tons of goods in one trip.

After the meal, it was almost time, so the two cars headed to Xuhui again, and they encountered traffic police on the road again.

They told us to unload the goods quickly because semi-trailers were not allowed to stay in the commercial area for a long time.

Who the hell would have thought that a fishing tackle store agent could open up in Xujiahui?

When they arrived at the destination, Qin Dahe had no time to settle the bill and quickly asked people to move the goods.

Although Master Ruan and the others were tired after a day's work, they still had to come down to help.

Knowing that they were in a hurry to leave the commercial district, Liu Da made a direct call.

After hanging up the phone, he said arrogantly, "Don't worry, we can start the car when the captain says it's ready."

"Awesome." Qin Dahe gave a thumbs up. This is strength.

"Haha, stop flattering me. You have to come to the competition in August. Uncle Chen also wants to see you."

"Don't worry, I will definitely come." He nodded. His company mainly sells bait and some fishing gear accessories, and has nothing to do with fishing rods. There is no conflict of interest between him and Uncle Chen.

Well, it seems that no one in China can shake Guangwei's position. Even if they were tied together, they would not be enough to fight.

It’s good to meet them and admire the style of our predecessors who have overcome many difficulties in advance.

Ah Fu is really strong. He and Er Hu unload the goods from the truck very quickly.

Da Liu gets a rebate of 8.5 kilograms, plus the order of kilograms, which is tons of goods, and there are a lot of other miscellaneous items.

Because the traffic police did not urge him, after unloading the goods, Qin Dahe brought people to help move the goods to the warehouse.

It’s not tiring to use a cart, it just takes a little effort.

Let Liu Da and Afu do it themselves, and we don’t know how long it will take.

"Master Ruan, you know the address of the factory, so just go there. I'll call the factory manager and have him check the loading at 7 a.m. tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you, Boss Qin."

"Haha, it's not easy to make a living out here, you go first."
