Li You Ran, who had fallen asleep, got up early the next morning and checked out, not caring about the disdainful look from the front desk, because Hemei Li had paid for yesterday's room.
Li You Ran came out of the hotel and took a taxi directly to the wholesale market. She thought about how barren that place was, and with these things, it would be enough to fool them. Oh right, there's also salt! Thinking about it, doing something as disgusting as using animal blood, what kind of lack of salt would lead to such a thing?!
It's just Li You Ran's subjective view, in the eyes of people from other worlds, this is nothing out of the ordinary, even some nobles still retain such traditions.
Li You Ran arrived at the snack wholesale department, then walked inside, looking around here and there, touching this and that. A salesperson came over and said: "Boss, do you want to wholesale some snacks? Very cheap! And the taste is good too, very popular near the school."
He even took out a pack of Monk Meat! Okay, I didn't expect it's been over ten years! Your packaging hasn't changed at all. Seeing the packaging of this Monk Meat, Li You Ran couldn't help but smile wryly, thinking about those spicy strips and cowhide candies she used to eat back then. Of course, she also can't forget about the Hawthorn slices.
"Call your boss over! Tell him it's a big deal! I need a lot of goods." Li You Ran opened a pack of MIMI shrimp crackers and started eating.
"Okay, please wait a moment." The employee walked away and went into the back room, apparently to call the boss. Before long, a fat-headed man came out, and when Li You Ran saw him, he couldn't help but exclaim that it was really a pity for society to be so gray.
"What's with the boss calling me that? I heard he's here to take care of business? My surname is Pan, everyone calls me Pan Baozi, hahaha! Come on in, let's talk inside!" The boss was very enthusiastic, laughing like a Maitreya Buddha. In his eyes, big business was just a few snacks, but the profit margin in their line of work was quite impressive, so they were also more enthusiastic.
"Alright, alright! Let's get down to business! I'm here to buy things, so the snacks and whatnot can wait for now. Prepare 5,000 small breads for me, and also bring me some sausages... how many are in a pack?" Li You Ran asked, unsure of how many sausages she needed.
"Five thousand small breads! The sausages are thirty in a bag, and there are also fifty in a box and one hundred in a box. Which kind do you want?" The boss smiled even more brightly.
"Uh-huh! Then let's go with 100 per box, take 500 boxes. Remember, I don't need the logo! Do you understand what I mean?" Li You Ran said seriously to the boss.
This point must be noted, although he knows others will definitely not recognize Chinese characters, but it's still better to be careful!
"Really! Got it! Haha, boss, you say how it is then that's how it is! As for the price, do you want a cheaper or normal one?" The boss didn't expect Li You Ran to have such an unusual request, but as long as there was money involved, anything could be discussed. He had plenty of things like this anyway, just without the brand name.
The strange price made Li You Ran stunned for a moment, and then he thought of it, this is asking himself if he wants the good one or the defective product. Of course, he wants the good one, although the people on that side don't care about his business, but since he wants to make money from them, he should give them good things, after all, he still has a conscience.
Nor does it know whether using cheap bread and sausage to exchange for someone else's gold coins is considered having a conscience.
"Of course, it's got to be good! This is for others to eat, if there's a problem I'll come looking for you! Don't worry, the price won't be less, but you have to guarantee the quality. Also, get me some of those spicy chicken and fermented bean paste too! You calculate how much money it should be!"
Li You Ran finished speaking and saw the boss quickly pressing on the computer, muttering to himself: "5,000 small breads at 35 cents each is 1,750, plus special packaging for 50, exactly 1,800. The sausage needs good ones, calculated at 70 cents per root, a bag of 10 roots, a box of 10 bags is 700 yuan, plus special packaging. Does the boss want unmarked special packaging for sausages too?"
"Of course! What's wrong, is there any trouble?" Li You Ran was still turning around inside and replied casually to the boss's question.
"It's not a big problem! It's just that if you need it urgently, it might be a bit difficult! You know how easy it is to deal with trademarks! Without a trademark, it's a bit harder to handle!" The boss said with some difficulty.
"Alright, alright! As long as the outer packaging and inner packaging of the large items don't have any logos, I'll let it slide this time for the sausages. If we need them in the future, I'll notify you in advance, make sure to prepare them, got it?" Li You Ran thought about it for a moment and felt that a small quantity wasn't a big deal, so she said casually.
"That's easy, the sausage is 500 boxes, that's 35,000! Plus the small bread's 1,800, it's 36,800! Boss, you see, the sausage's packaging is like a gift to you, this number is still okay! You see if you need to deliver it or pick up the goods yourself, this money...!!!" The boss was a bit embarrassed and also excited. In these times, encountering small food business worth over 10,000 is really not easy, and he didn't want to offend the god of wealth.
"It's okay, I'll find a place later! You send it over, pay half first and settle the rest when it arrives, so you don't have to worry about me, how about that!" Li You Ran naturally saw the worry in the boss's eyes, smiled and said after paying the deposit, the boss immediately spoke up with a smile.
"You're speaking like a local, are you paying by transfer or cash?!" Boss, your change of attitude is too quick!
"Do you have a POS machine? How do I transfer the money? Should we go to the bank? Who carries that much cash on them?! It's so uncomfortable to carry it around." Li You Ran turned around and looked but didn't see anything that could be used for card payment.
As soon as I turned around, I saw the boss quickly take out a POS machine, and it seemed he had put it inside the room.
"The boss has prepared quite comprehensively." Li You Ran slightly sarcastically said.
"It's nothing, it's nothing! Small business, preparing for it also saves on fuel costs. This year and month use card safety, cash is too easy to be stolen." Then respectfully handed over the POS machine, let Li You Ran swipe the card and enter the password.
Li You Ran carelessly pulled out her card, swiped it, entered the consumption amount, and pressed the password. "Alright, I've already paid half of the money. Give me your phone, I'll find a warehouse and call you, you can just deliver it there, and pay when you arrive, okay?"
"No problem! No problem! This is my phone number, 130XXXXXX, just let me know if you need anything in the future." The fat boss was so delighted that he almost jumped up, today he's going to buy lottery tickets! He ran into the God of Wealth.
Li You Ran nodded and was about to go find a warehouse, but suddenly turned back and asked: "Besides selling snacks, do you also sell grains and salt?"
"Ah! Good talk! I have everything! That wholesale grain and oil store opposite is mine, what kind of grain do you want? Just say it and I'll quickly get it for you." The boss immediately became enthusiastic about introducing, perhaps another big business opportunity.
"Alright! I'll look for you if I need anything in the future. Since we don't have any business of that kind for now, I'll take my leave first and wait for your call." Li You Ran hailed a taxi and left, and from afar, she could still see her boss standing by the roadside, gazing after her as if he was seeing off his own family member.
"Ah, finally found me, God of Wealth! The fat boss sighed and returned to his store to arrange the goods. Since the packaging needed was different, he had to pack them on the spot, or else they wouldn't make it in time."
Li You Ran took a taxi to the house rental agency, where he browsed through the information. Most of it was about residential housing, which could work, but what he needed was a slightly larger warehouse, preferably in a remote location that wouldn't draw attention. After all, what he was doing now was quite shocking and unconventional when taken outside.
After searching for a long time and not finding it, Li You Ran felt that he shouldn't waste his cells, after all, he was a multimillionaire! He beckoned to a salesperson and said: "Help me find a warehouse, the location needs to be quiet, and the size is small, just for personal use. The best would be in the suburbs or somewhere with few people."
"Alright sir! I can find it for you right away." The salesperson immediately ran to the computer and started searching, and soon found a suitable warehouse.
"Look, sir! Is this warehouse suitable? This is a personal warehouse in Xinhuang Town, the rent is 3,500 yuan, and the area is 350 square meters. Because it's not a large warehouse, no company is interested, and private individuals feel that they can't use it up, so it's been put on hold. Are you satisfied?"
Li You Ran looked at the location and size, feeling very excited. Xin Huang Town was a suburban town that he knew wasn't densely populated, mostly with rental households. The warehouse's location was clearly marked outside the town, connected by a small road, with no traffic restrictions. Li You Ran immediately made up his mind, this is it.
"Can someone be called now? I've got it! How about signing a contract?"
"Sir, since you are an agent, would you like to go to the site to take a look? Once you're satisfied, you can pay directly." The salesperson got excited, this deal was done, and the direct bonus had a solid foundation.
"Let's go! Let's take a look then." Li You Ran naturally didn't object, he also wanted to see if the surrounding environment was suitable or not.
Drove for half an hour, still very close to the city, and indeed it can be said that people are scarce, having come so far, I've only seen three cars.
Upon arrival at the warehouse, I saw that someone was already waiting there. It seemed like it was the owner of the house. Apparently, the intermediary had already informed him.
"Hello! I'm from Xingxing Real Estate Agency, and I've brought this gentleman to view the warehouse. Are you Mr. Liu? Can we open it now?" The salesperson asked.
"Yes! I am the landlord! Come and take a look! This place was originally used to store goods, but business has been bad in recent years! So I stopped doing it, and the warehouse was empty, which is a pity. So I rented it out, you can take a look yourself."
