Chapter 12
Jogo explained to Gal and Jayjam :-He divided the purchased hair into three grades: 20 to 50 centimeters at 10 rupees per kilogram, 50 to 80 centimeters at 12 rupees per kilogram, and above 80 centimeters at 15 rupees per kilogram.
Huang Delou buys five grades. jogo has simplified it. If it is less than 20 centimeters, it will not be necessary. After all, it is purchased from the private sector door to door. If it is too short, there is no need.
As for hair over 100 centimeters, it stands to reason that the price will come down, but for a hair seller, if you tell her that long hair is cheaper, the other party will probably not agree, so the price is 15 rupees.
On average, it is definitely about 20-30% higher than the temple package price of 10 rupees per kilogram. jogo thinks this price should be quite appropriate.
Of course, he also told the two of them that their hair must be smooth. When cutting their hair, they must ensure that their hair is tied into a bunch and cannot be messed up.
"Can hair be sold? Is it so expensive?" After hearing jogo's words at first, both Gal and Jayjam were confused.
And one kilogram costs more than 10 rupees, which makes them feel a little incredible.
"I will give you 30,000 rupees first. You can try it tomorrow to see if you can buy hair. If my price is too low and you can't buy it, you can increase the price. You can make your own decisions within 5 rupees. You don't need to come back and tell me. "jogo said with a smile, "If you can buy it at a lower price, the difference will be your commission, don't refuse. You have dozens of subordinates. If the boss has no money, he will probably be the boss. It won't last long."
Jayjam and Gal had some embarrassment on their faces. To be honest, they were just average.
As jogo said, they have to be responsible for some of the daily expenses of the younger brothers below. Otherwise, how can this boss be the boss?
Since they are not very powerful and usually live very hard, it was the old Gupta who helped them many times before, otherwise this group of brothers would have dispersed long ago.
There are many gangs in the slums. Even if the gangs want to make money, competition is very fierce.
Just like the water supply here in the slums.
Natural water is only available for an hour from 5 a.m. to 6 a.m. The supply is limited and everyone has to get up early to queue up to grab water.
There are too many people, and there will always be someone who can't get it, so what should I do? I can only buy water on the black market.
The business of buying water is basically monopolized by gangs in the slums, and the water fee is not cheap.
In order to seize territory, it is common for major gangs to fight with various weapons.
For example, the two of them only have about twenty brothers, who are considered a small gang. They usually rely on some big gangs to hang out in the slums.
"Master, although we have never purchased hair and we don't know how much it is worth, the purchase price you gave is definitely high." Jayjam said.
"Okay, let's find something first. If the money is not enough, you can tell me in time." jogo smiled and said, "The more hair, the better. If the quantity is large, I will give you a reward." The two of them were excited.Well, jogo is so generous, they can make a lot of money, and then they can recruit more younger brothers.
Every member of society has the ambition to be a boss.
At this time, Aunt Sesi came back, along with Uncle Sesi, Ketu and Luke.
So jogo told them what they wanted to do.
He plans to ask Uncle Sesi and Ketu to recruit thirty people tomorrow to do hair styling, and then preliminary disinfection and cleaning of the hair.
There is a lot of hair in the temple, but long and short hair are mixed in everything, and people need to classify these hairs according to length, so this part of people was recruited by Uncle Sesi. I believe that some people in the slums are looking for work.
And the transportation of the hair depends on Luke. Tomorrow, let him organize 5 tractors to go to more than a dozen temples in the city center. At most, each vehicle will make three trips. .
Although it is only a tractor with a small load capacity, it is enough to transport hair.
As for the storage of the purchased hair, jogo asked Singer to contact Senao Fuda.He has a factory and a warehouse, both in the suburbs of Mumbai. I believe it won't be a big problem to store the hair temporarily.
The day's wages for arranging hair are 10 rupees. After hearing this, Uncle Sesi said it was too high and he didn't need it at all.
jogo didn't care about this. He paid Uncle Sesi 10 rupees per person. As for how many rupees he gave to recruit people, Jogo didn't care.
This is equivalent to Jayjam and Uncle Sesi being small contractors. They subcontracted part of the work to them, and they can earn the price difference from it.
As for Luke, jogo will give an additional 20% based on the market price. Again, if Luke can hire a tractor at a lower price, the difference in price will naturally belong to him.
Luke is very happy, because everyone has nothing to do now, and the price is 20 to 30% lower than the usual market price, and there are people rushing to do it.
After making the decision, Aunt Sesi sent a few people out.
"The wages given by the young master are too high. I think 5 rupees per person is enough." Uncle Sesi whispered.
In this way, he can deduct half of his wages, which makes him excited just thinking about it.It's five rupees," said Aunt. "Ah? The 4 rupees may be a bit too low. If it's 4 rupees and 50 paise, I believe it'll be fine. We have to take care of their food anyway." Uncle Sesi shook his head, feeling that the 5 rupees he just said was still too high. .
"You can recruit girls, 3 rupees is definitely enough." Aunt said."Female?" Uncle Sesi was startled, "Isn't this good?"
"Why not?" Aunt glared at him and said, "The people the young master wants you to recruit are hairdressers and hair washers. These living men If you don't do it carefully, it turns out that women are more suitable. Besides, this also allows women to earn a little more, and at the same time, we pay less wages. Wouldn't it be better?" Uncle SeSi suddenly felt that it made sense,who didn't want to make more money, but he was worried that if the price was too low, if those guys didn't work carefully, it would delay the young master.
Women's wages are indeed lower than men's, and this job is really more suitable for women.
Gal and Jayjam walked in front and heard the conversation between the two. They both smiled. They had to say that Aunt was right.
After they left, jogo thought carefully about what he was going to do next, and made sure that it was almost all arranged.
As for the storage of the purchased cotton, you don't have to worry about it. The suppliers are storing the cotton themselves now, and they can just collect it and export it when the time comes.
Because now they are begging for themselves.
However, jogo thought that he had to get a warehouse, so he couldn't trouble Seno all the time, and he thought that he could buy some more cotton next.
The amount of hair is actually limited. This time there is a lot of hair because it has been accumulated in the past two months. It can only be accumulated slowly in the future.
Cotton is a bulk commodity. Once exported, there are thousands of bales, which requires a lot of space.
The Suez Canal side may return to normal at any time, and cotton prices will definitely rebound. There is no reason for me to let go of the current low prices.
Even if Zhao Rui and the others only purchase 10,000 bales, the cotton they have saved can be sold to others.
You can ask Seno and the others about these things tomorrow to see if there is anywhere to rent a warehouse.
This time I will definitely give priority to the goods of Seno and the other three, as my own people.
After telling his parents about today's dinner, jogo went back to sleep.
But the elder Gupta couldn't sleep because he didn't expect his son to make such a big noise.
In fact, Singh had already come over and told him that jogo had signed a big deal and could earn at least 4 million rupees, which was something he could not even imagine.
