Kapitel 6: Comparable to Gold, Earning $270,000!
Redakteur: Atlas Studios
After the sale, Shawn and his father drove back to their hometown.
They had just reached the center of the estate when Shawn's mother saw the father and son, she came up to them, looking very worried.
She began to complain when she saw Shawn.
"Shaun, how's the situation? I've already collected a few tons. I've spent all the money at home!"
"There are still quite many on hold in the accounts. If you guys still don't come back, I'm afraid I won't dare to accept them!"
Many people were relieved to see Shawn back.
However, they were surprised to see that the pickup truck was empty.
They could not figure out what Shawn was up to.
Shawn looked at the mountainous pile of purslane behind his mother and said with a smile, "Mother, there's no problem. The first batch of purslane has been sold. This is the money for the sales."
"What?" Shawn's mother was startled.
They had only been in town for an hour.
Was this common purslane gold? Why was it so valuable?
Shawn knew his mother was confused, and he knew that no matter how hard he tried to explain it, there was nothing more convincing than money.
Thus, he got his father to take out the money he had obtained.
His father was honest and straightforward. He took out a stack of new US dollars proudly.
Looking at the money in Shawn's father's hands, she was stunned.
She knew that they could sell it, but wasn't that just too much money?
With a rough glance, she estimated that it was at least $10,000!
This was an income that many people in this district could not even achieve in a year!
"Shawn, is this real? It can't be?" His mother was stunned for a moment. She really could not figure out why this thing was so valuable, nor could she think of anyone who needed it!
"Of course it's true. We were lucky today and ran into a big boss. He spent $7 per kilogram and bought all of our purslane, while also demanding more future supply," Shawn said with a smile.
His father nodded proudly.
"What?"
Shawn's mother was not the only one stunned, so were the eavesdroppers.
$7 per kilogram?
For that wild vegetable, purslane?
Everyone was shocked at first, then shook their heads in disbelief.
In their experience, this was impossible.
Shawn had either gotten scammed or the person had other objectives.
However, it was none of their business. They still had a lot of purslane. Since Shawn had money, they did not mind selling it.
Shawn did not want to explain it to them.
After all, he did not like the people in the neighborhood.
They were a bunch of ignorant people.
When he was in university, his parents had tried to borrow money from the entire neighborhood, he had seen their true faces then.
After Shawn and his father gave the explanation, his mother finally believed them.
After believing them, she muttered to herself, "The people in the city are really strange!!"
Then, as the transaction continued, Shawn and his father continued to transport the goods to town for Jeffrey.
Jeffrey, on the other hand, managed to make a name for himself in New York City because he was the fastest seller and had the best quality.
Thus, the relationship between the two became even closer, and they reached a temporary cooperation.
Later, Shawn rented another car from town and drove it back to the district together with the truck. They had to make three or four trips before they were finally done delivering all the purslane their mother had acquired.
Late at night, the family sat at the dining table with smiles on their faces.
They looked at Shawn and the large amount of US dollars on the table. Even now, they were still confused, afraid that this was all just a beautiful dream.
After a while, Shawn said, "We've sold a total of 10 trucks of purslane today. We've earned a total of $350,000. The purchase cost is $50,000, so we've made a profit of $270,000 after accounting for the cost of transportation and other expenditures."
The elderly couple was shocked when they heard about the amount.
$270,000 was a sum that few families could earn in ten years.
Although there was still $100,000 that had yet to be paid, they had earned it all in one day.
This made the old couple doubt life.
Had their life really been wasted all this time?
However, this was all thanks to their son.
If it was not for him, they would not have been able to earn this much money.
Hence, the old couple looked at Shawn with pride!
After a while, Shawn's mother asked, "Do you want to continue tomorrow?"
"Of course, but the focus is not on this anymore," Shawn replied.
"Why? It has only been such a short time," said Shawn's father, "There's still a lot of purslane in the neighborhood. We should take advantage of the situation and make a killing."
Shawn's mother nodded in agreement.
After all, the time was too short, and there was still plenty of purslane left in the estate.
"No, father." Shawn shook his head and continued, "Don't you think that the demand for purslane has appeared too quickly and the price is too high?"
Shawn's father nodded thoughtfully.
Shawn continued to explain, "These wild vegetables found all over the countryside cannot sustain such a price increase, so their value is very short-lived. We've already made a lot of money using our access to this secret information, and if we continue to operate in this manner, we'll definitely suffer a huge loss later."
Shawn's mother asked: "So what do we do now, are we going to stop buying the vegetables?"
The business had already been laid out, they could not bear to lose such huge profits.
Shawn's eyes immediately showed determination: "No, keep collecting them. We just have to make two preparations."
He had already made up his mind using the knowledge gained in his previous life.
When the wild vegetables were thrown into New York City by various businessmen, New York City would definitely run out of supply in a short period of time.
Hence, the businessmen would start attacking each other's goods.
At that time, if the transportation environment was poor and the wild vegetables were not clean enough, they would become the targets of their peers.
He had already informed Jeffrey of this.
Jeffrey was now his business partner in this town. If he wanted the wild vegetables to continue selling, Jeffrey could not fall.
Jeffrey was also very grateful to Shawn for informing him, and he voluntarily raised the price to $8.
As an experienced investor, Jeffrey definitely had a good grasp of the market. After Shawn's advice, he would definitely set up the measures in advance. Although he did not know what share of the New York market he could take down, it was definitely enough to sell all of Shawn's goods.
Therefore, the biggest problem was now over at Shawn's side. If he wanted to continue being the sole partner of Jeffrey and act as his exclusive supplier, he would have to change the wild vegetable collection method.
However, there must not be any dirty work. The person who provided the wild vegetables must ensure the hygiene and integrity of the process.
This way, the supply of wild vegetables would decrease. Firstly, it would relieve the short-term inventory pressure. After all, New York City needed time to gain preference for this vegetable. Secondly, providing better quality wild vegetables would help monopolize the sales in this district.
After a peaceful night, a new day began.
