Chapter 107 Transaction
After leaving home, Bai Tang drove Gu Yanxu to the area where the middlemen of the base gathered.
Bai Tang first encountered Qian Duoduo and his sister at a stall on the north side of the base.
Those middlemen are ostensibly street vendors, but in reality, they resell goods, operating on two fronts simultaneously.
These middlemen's stalls all have fixed signs.
Although the Kyoto base is very large, the lives of the people there are not as good as those in the Shengshi base.
The leadership at the Beijing base is in disarray, with wealthy individuals interfering and some rich kids behaving recklessly, making daily life difficult for ordinary people at the base.
That's why Bai Tang and his family wanted to move to the Shengshi base.
Most of the drivers at the Beijing base are from wealthy and powerful families.
Bai Tang and his companion drove inconspicuously on the base road.
Based on her previous memory, Bai Tang quickly reached the stall on the north side.
After finding a parking lot nearby and parking the car, Bai Tang and Gu Yanxu got out of the car with their bags on their backs and walked inside.
This street was designated by the base and was specifically rented out to people to sell goods.
As Bai Tang led Gu Yanxu along, she said, "We're not sure if they're still here. Let's look for them."
Gu Yanxu said, "Okay, I'll go with you."
Early in the morning, because the temperature had not yet risen to a point where it was too hot to walk, there were still quite a few people in the stall street.
Gu Yanxu stood protectively beside Bai Tang, then took her hand and followed her forward.
Bai Tang walked toward the stall she remembered, and soon arrived at the location. Sure enough, there was a sign on the stall indicating that they were middlemen.
There were many such signs along the way, but Bai Tang didn't trust them, so she decided to find Qian Duoduo and his sister instead.
Bai Tang walked over and said, "Hello, do you accept items here?"
A thin little girl was looking after the stall.
The young girl asked Bai Tang with practiced ease:
"I don't know what you're selling. We only care about quality and don't accept random things."
This is why Bai Tang came to their house – to ensure fair and just pricing for the items she received.
Bai Tang asked, "Little girl, are you the only one at your stall?"
The little girl said, "If you want to sell things, then sell things. Don't ask around."
Bai Tang smiled; this little girl was quite vigilant.
Just then, the little girl's brother returned.
Seeing two people standing in front of her stall, Qian Duoduo walked over and asked:
"Hello, are you buying or selling something?"
When Bai Tang saw Qian Duoduo return, she stopped teasing the little girl and turned to Qian Duoduo, saying:
"We're here to sell things, but we don't know if you accept them here."
Upon hearing that they were there to sell things, and that they were carrying bags, which probably contained samples, I realized they were there.
Qian Duoduo quickly invited Bai Tang and Gu Yanxu to talk inside their stall's tent.
Bai Tang and Gu Yanxu followed Qian Duoduo into the tent behind the stall.
Qian Duoduo introduced himself, saying, "Hello, everyone. Let me introduce myself. My name is Qian Duoduo."
The girl outside is my younger sister, Qian Xinxin. If my sister said anything wrong just now, please don't hold it against her.
May I ask how we address you both?
Bai Tang waved her hand dismissively and said, "She's just a kid. I think she's quite cute."
My surname is Bai, and his surname is Gu.
Then, while talking, Bai Tang put down her backpack, took out a snow fruit from her bag, stood up and handed it to Qian Duoduo.
Qian Duoduo had never seen this kind of fruit before and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Gu Yanxu explained to him from the side: "We came from the Shengshi base and brought some of these fruits with us."
It's called Snow Fruit, and we discovered it at our Shengshi base during extremely cold weather.
Then we planted quite a few, and you can try one for free; this one won't cost you any contribution points.
This fruit can be preserved normally even in extremely hot conditions, but it cannot be grown.
Do you have any here? Do you accept them?
Qian Duoduo said, "We haven't found this kind of fruit here."
After Gu Yanxu finished speaking, Qian Duoduo took out a fruit knife from the side and cut a little snow fruit, but he hesitated a bit.
Gu Yanxu noticed Qian Duoduo's concerns, so he reached out, took the piece of snow fruit, and ate it.
Seeing that Gu Yanxu had eaten, Qian Duoduo felt relieved and cut off another piece, putting it in his mouth to taste.
Qian Duoduo was surprised by the icy coolness of the snow fruit.
He quickly realized that if Bai Tang and the others had a lot of fruit, it would be a huge business opportunity in the extremely hot weather.
Qian Duoduo immediately asked Bai Tang, "Miss Bai, how many of these fruits do you have? We'll buy them!"
Bai Tang said, "We can sell you a total of 300 jin, but only after the snow fruit from our base is connected with your base."
I can leave you six now. You can go find clients first. Consider these six a gift.
Let's make this clear first, you can't reveal our information.
Qian Duoduo immediately assured them, "Please rest assured, both of you. In our line of work, the first priority is to ensure that the information of both parties in a transaction is not leaked."
Bai Tang took out six snow fruits from her bag and handed them to Qian Duoduo.
He carefully took the snow fruit one by one and put them into his bag.
Qian Duoduo then asked, "I wonder when you two can complete the transaction of 300 jin?"
Bai Tang said, "We'll make the deal when the people at your base know about the Snow Fruit."
We can agree on a price now, and we won't interfere with how much you want to sell it for later.
Qian Duoduo nodded knowingly and said, "Miss Bai and Mr. Gu can bring their items to my house for the transaction later."
Bai Tang thought for a moment and said, "Okay, you don't need to rush."
Your base should know about the Snow Fruit in the next few days.
Then you can make a fortune.
Qian Duoduo knew the value of this fruit, so the price he quoted Bai Tang was:
Fifty contribution points per jin, totaling 15,000 contribution points paid to Bai Tang and his group.
Even if Bai Tang is offered such a high price, Qian Duoduo and the others will not suffer a loss.
They resell them to wealthy and powerful families, where the price can triple.
Therefore, for Qian Duoduo, this deal was a sure-fire way to make money.
The fact that Qian Duoduo was able to contribute so many contribution points shows that they also have connections and resources.
Bai Tang and Gu Yanxu both thought the price Qian Duoduo offered was good, because a pound of meat would cost about the same even in the hottest weather.
Bai Tang said, "Okay, the price the boss gave is very fair."
Qian Duoduo scratched his head and said, "Miss Bai, please don't call me Boss Qian. Just call me Xiao Qian. I hope we'll have the opportunity to work together again in the future."
Qian Duoduo could tell that Bai Tang and the other person were both wealthy and powerful, and also capable.
Bai Tang packed up her backpack, then smiled and said, "I hope there will be a chance in the future."
