A sudden plan came to mind
Chapter 806 A sudden plan came to mind
Wang An looked at Ye Qingfeng who was feeling proud. He wanted to give him some advice, but after thinking about it, he felt that there was no need.
So Wang An did not lie and said:
"I have nearly 2 kilograms of fine grain coupons. How many coarse grain coupons can I exchange for?"
Ye Qingfeng said without hesitation:
"We save trouble. If the ticket scalper wants fine grain tickets, we use 4 catties of coarse grain tickets to exchange for 1 catty of fine grain tickets. If the ticket scalper wants coarse grain tickets, we use 1 catty of fine grain tickets to exchange for 4 catties of coarse grain tickets."
Afraid that Wang An would not understand, Ye Qingfeng explained:
"If we want one jin of fine grain coupons, we can exchange them for four jin of coarse grain coupons. If we want coarse grain coupons, we can exchange one jin of fine grain coupons for four and a half jin of coarse grain coupons."
This sounds a bit awkward, because it is obvious that no matter how the exchange is carried out, the people at the grain station will not suffer any loss, and the ones who suffer the loss are always the ticket scalpers.
But after Ye Qingfeng finished speaking, Wang An understood what was going on.
The reason for such a counterintuitive exchange is that fine grain coupons are obviously more scarce and more valuable than coarse grain coupons.
On the surface, if a ticket scalper had 1 jin of fine grain tickets, he could only exchange them for 4 jin of coarse grain tickets at the grain station, but in the hands of ordinary people, he could exchange them for 4 jin of coarse grain tickets.
From this perspective, it seems like ticket scalpers can make a lot of money.
But in fact, such exchanges are rare or even non-existent.
Because in order to have enough food to eat, the common people chose to exchange fine grain coupons for coarse grain coupons!
You have to know that when you don’t have enough food to eat, no one will consider whether the food is good or not.
So, the actual transaction was that the common people used one jin of fine grain coupons to exchange for three and a half jin of coarse grain coupons in the hands of the ticket scalpers.
The ticket scalper then used this pound of fine grain tickets to exchange for 4 pounds of coarse grain tickets from the grain station.
As for the situation where grain station employees took the initiative to use 1 jin of fine grain coupons to find ticket scalpers to exchange for 4 jin of coarse grain coupons, and the situation where ordinary people took the initiative to use 4 jin of coarse grain coupons to find ticket scalpers to exchange for jin of fine grain coupons, it cannot be said that it did not exist, but it was definitely a very rare thing.
Anyway, the final result is that the ticket scalpers earned half a pound of coarse grain tickets from the common people, but how much the grain station employees earned is a mystery.
Because the fine grain coupons in the hands of the grain station employees are to be circulated to those who want to eat fine grains. And in this era, how can those who can eat fine grains for every meal be ordinary people?
So Wang An went straight to the core of the problem and said:
"Then how do you deal with those employees and cadres?"
Ye Qingfeng thought about it, as if wondering whether he should tell Wang An about these things.
However, Ye Qingfeng still said truthfully:
"One jin of fine grain coupons can be exchanged for 4 jin of coarse grain coupons. Sometimes when there are fewer fine grain coupons, it is 4 jin, but more often, it is sold directly."
After Ye Qingfeng finished speaking, Wang An nodded and said:
"Well, that's fine. Let's take 4 jin. If you can get 4 jin, then the remaining 8 liang is yours."
Ye Qingfeng immediately stopped him excitedly:
"That's definitely not possible, brother. If I earn your money, am I still a human being?"
Wang An patted Ye Qingfeng on the shoulder and interrupted directly:
"Alright, alright, just hand it over. Maybe in a few days, the fine grains will be worthless, and then you won't even be able to exchange for 4 kilograms of coarse grain tickets."
Wang An's words were not alarmist, because the land distribution in the south would start one to two years earlier than in the north. So once the first season of grain arrived from the south in July, the Northeast would no longer need to provide large amounts of grain to other places.
In this way, the demand for both coarse grains and fine grains will be greatly alleviated. Ye Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, but he did not insist. After all, it was normal to exchange one catty of fine grain coupons for four and a half catties of coarse grain coupons. Four catties and eight ounces was indeed a bit too high.
In this way, Wang An handed 1500 kilograms of fine grain coupons to Ye Qingfeng, and Ye Qingfeng turned around to find his colleagues.
Soon, Ye Qingfeng came back with 6750 kilograms of coarse grain coupons.
After thinking about it, Wang An bought another 1000 kilograms of black beans without requiring a ticket. It was not that he didn't want to buy more, but mainly because the four-wheeled vehicle could not hold them all.
It’s true that although black beans are more expensive than corn, using this stuff as feed for mules and horses is really great. After feeding them for this period of time, the fur on the mules and horses, including the donkey, of Wang An’s family looks shiny.
The most important thing is that you don’t need a ticket to buy this thing.
As for loading the truck, the procedure was the same as last time, except that this time after loading the truck, although Ye Qingfeng wanted to invite Wang An and the other two to go back for a drink, Wang An politely declined.
To be honest, the main reason was that Wang An was a little afraid of being "borrowed for sperm".
After leaving the grain station, Mu Xueli finally couldn't help but said enviously:
"Brother-in-law, the people at the grain station are really comfortable. They can get a lot of grain coupons just by exchanging them. It's really awesome."
Upon hearing this, Wang Li also said with envy:
"Yeah, it would be great if I could get a job like this."
Wang An rolled his eyes at the two of them, then said unhappily:
"Look at how useless you two are. Can I earn as much as you two by doing this job? Can I live as well as you do? Besides, it's as if I don't want to do this job."
The first two sentences made Mu Xueli and Wang Li somewhat embarrassed. After all, if Wang An hadn't taken care of them, they would still be struggling to make ends meet.
But Wang An's next words immediately confused Mu Xueli and Wang Li.
After being stunned for a while, Mu Xueli suddenly asked with a smirk on his face:
"Brother-in-law, why don't we find Brother Wu and the others and ask them to give you the entire class. When you become awesome, you can arrange for Lao Wu and me to join as well. What do you think, brother-in-law?"
Wang An boasted excitedly:
"That's fine. When the three of us are awesome, then DJ County will be decided by the three of us, hahahaha."
After Wang An finished speaking, he burst into laughter. When Mu Xueli and Wang Li heard what Wang An said, they also laughed at the same time.
It was obvious to everyone that Wang An was bragging.
After a while, Wang An drove the four-wheel vehicle and glanced at Mu Xueli and Wang Li who were sitting on the tire covers on the left and right sides. He suddenly realized that if he brought them to the county town, Chunchun would be totally redundant.
The main reason for bringing them here is that Wang An can't go to Fang Xiu'e to argue. You know, Wang An has been out of shells for a long time.
As for the matter of scar removal medicine, Wang An still doesn’t know what’s going on. The key point is that no one knows what Wu Dong and Wang Shuai are busy with recently.
Pharmaceutical companies are in such a lucrative business, so they should at least be more careful.
After thinking about it, Wang An suddenly came up with an idea.
That is, after processing the grains, let Mu Xueli and Wang Li drive back first, and then I will finish shelling the grains in the county town before going back.
