It was late June, and the weather in Dongping was already terribly hot.
When the weather was hot, there were more people eating lobster.
The lobster market in Pingchuan was booming at an astonishing speed, and the whole of Jiangbei was in a craze for lobster.
…
Yang He Internet Cafe.
Li Dong hung up the phone and leaned on the chair in a daze.
Although he told himself that this business would not last long, when he thought of the money flying away from his hands, Li Dong still felt an indescribable sense of loss.
When others started to make money, he had to end the lobster business.
He could not get the goods in Dongping anymore. Even if he could get the goods, the price would be ridiculously high. Those fishmongers were crazy about the price.
The wholesale price in Pingchuan was only 8 yuan, and these guys in Dongping dared to ask for 7 yuan. There was no room for him to survive.
After calming down, Li Dong calculated the total account. The down payment for the building was 1.5 million, and the upfront payment for the renovation was 400,000. The upfront expenses for the supermarket and the license cost about 100,000 …
Piecing together, he spent about 2 million, and he still had about 1.8 million in savings.
In other words, in just two months, he had earned about 4 million from the lobster business.
"4 million, I should be satisfied. A contented person will always be happy." Li Dong murmured. The 4 million in 2004 was still quite valuable. At least he had earned back the money he spent on the building.
"Dongzi, what 4 million? Is it Qin Yuhan? "
Wei Yuan took off his headset and asked doubtfully as he pulled Li Dong out to surf the internet.
Li Dong rolled his eyes and said angrily, "No! Let me tell you, don't have any ideas about Yuhan, or I will teach you a lesson! "
"Pfft!"
Wei Yuan snorted and murmured, "Am I that kind of person? Qin Yuhan is almost blind. I don't like her."
Since knowing that Li Dong and Qin Yuhan are together, Wei Yuan has always thought that Qin Yuhan is blind. He doesn't think that Li Dong is better than him. Qin Yuhan will fall in love with Li Dong. Isn't this blind?
"What are you talking about?"
"Nothing!"
Wei Yuan laughed perfunctorily and continued to ask, "By the way, Dongzi, what did you just say four or five million?"
"Did I say that? You must have misheard me, "Li Dong tried to fool him and changed the topic," Did you ask what I asked you to ask for me? "
"What is it …"
Halfway through his words, Wei Yuan saw Li Dong staring at him with murderous eyes. He quickly let out a hollow laugh and said, "Yes, I just asked my friend. I came here today to tell you about it. If you hadn't asked, I would have forgotten about it. "
"Feng Jingsong hasn't been at home since the College Entrance Exam. I heard from his classmates that he went out to travel. I don't know when he will come back."
Wei Yuan said and began to go off topic again. He was slightly curious and said, "Why are you looking for Feng Jingsong? Is that guy still not giving up on Qin Yuhan? Are you going to clean him up? "
Li Dong was too lazy to explain to him. He just felt that Feng Jingsong had good luck.
He didn't know whether Feng Jingsong really went out to travel or deliberately avoided him. Since that time in the examination room, Li Dong has never met him.
He can't even meet people. Li Dong has no chance to retaliate even if he wants to.
Forget it, this time Feng Jingsong is lucky.
There will be opportunities sooner or later. Li Dong is not in a hurry. He is a vengeful person. Does Feng Jingsong think that he will be fine if he hides now? It's almost a dream!
He was not in the mood to continue to surf the Internet. Li Dong got up and said, "I'll go back first. You can play by yourself."
"Don't! The College Entrance Exam has passed. It's not easy to have time now. Play with me for a while! "
"I still have something to do. You can play by yourself." Li Dong patted Wei Yuan's shoulder and said with a little emotion, "Cherish this opportunity. Take care of yourself after tomorrow."
When Li Dong left, Wei Yuan was stunned for a while before he returned to his senses and murmured, "What do you mean?"
Li Dong naturally won't tell him that when the College Entrance Exam scores can be checked tomorrow, this guy's good days will be over.
I don't know how Wei Yuan estimated the score. It's already amazing that there is a difference of ten or eight points in the estimated score. This guy actually overestimated it by fifty or sixty points. He just reached the second tier last year.
Wei Yuan's parents really believe this guy. These days, there are many people in the community who said that their son was admitted to the second tier. Even Li Dong's parents have heard of it.
With Wei Yuan's usual results, if he can really be admitted to the second tier, it is really worth celebrating. No wonder Wei Yuan's parents are happy.
But Li Dong knows that when tomorrow's score is checked, Wei Yuan will be miserable.
Wei Yuan's parents, who have lost all their face, will not let Wei Yuan live well. Li Dong can only wish Wei Yuan can survive and hope that the tragedy in his memory will not happen again.
…
Out of the Internet cafe, Li Dong went to the Blue Ocean.
The supermarket's renovation is nearing the end and should be completed in early July.
When Li Dong arrived at the supermarket, Sun Tao was not there. Yang Yun, who has already been employed, was discussing something with the person in charge of Yang Ding's site.
Seeing Li Dong, Yang Yun left the person in charge of Yang Ding and walked to Li Dong. She quickly said, "General Manager Li, you came at the right time. I was about to look for you."
"What's wrong?"
"Yang Ding said that the construction period is almost over and asked when we can pay for the second phase. I was just about to talk to you about it."
Today, Yang Yun no longer dared to question Li Dong's ability. Just the supermarket's renovation cost millions. It can be imagined that Li Dong's ability is absolutely strong. How can he be short of her salary of thousands of yuan?
Li Dong thought for a moment and said, "What did Manager Sun say?"
"Manager Sun said that the quality should be fine. He has been monitoring the site in the early stage."
Li Dong nodded. As long as the quality is fine, it is fine.
But thinking of spending a lot of money, Li Dong's heart ached.
"Okay, I will transfer 500,000 yuan to the company account. You handle Yang Ding's side."
Putting aside the pain of spending money, Li Dong asked, "What about Manager Sun?"
"Pingchuan's people are here. Manager Sun is discussing something with them. He should be back soon." Yang Yun looked at her watch. It should be about time to finish the discussion.
As soon as she finished speaking, Sun Tao walked over, sweating profusely.
Seeing that Li Dong was also there, Sun Tao and Yang Yun nodded and said, "I was just about to call you. You came at the right time."
Li Dong saw that he was sweating profusely and was not in a hurry to talk. He said, "Let's find a ventilated place to get some fresh air. We can talk about it later."
Sun Tao did not refuse and left the supermarket with Li Dong.
The two of them found a shady spot and sat down without a care for their image. Sun Tao unbuttoned his shirt and took a breath before saying, "It's mainly about the goods. I've talked to a few companies over the past few days. Because the Dongping market is too small, some big manufacturers aren't interested, and the preferential policies they give aren't too good. "In the end, I picked a few distributors in Jiangbei and negotiated some conditions. I was just about to come back to discuss it with you."
Li Dong did not ask for details. In this regard, Sun Tao knew better than him. Since Sun Tao had picked a company, it must be suitable for Faraway Supermarket.
What he was concerned about was the payment. He did not have much cash on hand. Other than the 500,000 yuan that was going to be transferred, he only had about 1.3 million yuan left.
Yang Ding's remaining payment was not urgent. When they signed the contract, it was agreed that the payment would only be paid after three months. He could still save a few hundred thousand yuan in this regard.
Li Dong believed that after three months, it would not be difficult to get the remaining payment of hundreds of thousands of yuan.
He thought for a while and asked, "How do I pay for the goods?"
"At least 30% of the goods must be paid in advance. The remaining payment must be paid in three months. If the second shipment is less than three months from the first, the remaining payment for the first shipment must be paid in advance. "
"30% …"
Li Dong did some calculations. That meant that even if he did not keep a single cent, he could at most get 4 million yuan worth of goods.
4 million should be enough, right?
Li Dong was not sure if it was too much or too little. 4 million was the purchase price, and the supermarket's profit ratio was about 20%. That meant the sales should be around 5 million.
5 million. With Dongping's consumption level, it should be enough for one month.
Whether it was too much or too little, Li Dong felt that it should be about the same.
He thought for a while and nodded. "I can accept the conditions. Then, I will have to trouble Brother Sun to continue negotiating with them. The goods must arrive in Dongping before the end of July. We cannot delay."
"No problem. As long as the contract is signed, they will be able to deliver the goods within three days."
Sun Tao was now full of energy. After the renovation, the staff, and the goods arrived, the supermarket could officially open for business.
He could only earn money when it was officially open for business. If it was not because of the conditions, he would have opened the supermarket now.
Li Dong smiled. Sun Tao was anxious to make money, but he was even more anxious.
He still owed a few million yuan in the bank. If the supermarket did not open for business, he would not even be able to pay the loan.
Money was something that could not be spent. He had earned nearly 4 million yuan in two months, but now he owed a huge debt.
