Chapter 286 Selling Skin
On the other side, after Yue Feng delivered the wine to Brother Hu, he rode his bicycle back to the supply and marketing cooperative humming a little tune, tied the paid mesh materials to the back seat of the bicycle, and rode back home leisurely.

It was not yet half past ten when he got home, and there was still some time before lunch, so Yue Feng immediately took out pliers, wire and other tools and materials.

Cut the materials according to the previously calculated size, then fold, assemble and fix them in the designated position. After a busy work, a larger breeding cage is made.

Since you want to keep it for a long time, the living facilities in the cage must be complete. After the cage body is made, put the nest, water bowl, food box and other components on the back, and then put the existing small turnover cage at home into the large cage.

Yue Feng’s design is quite interesting.

The small cage is placed in the big cage, but the cage door is not closed. The small cage is light-proof, which can help the sable get familiar with people and then reduce its vigilance during the transition period.

After preparing a set of cages, Yue Feng opened the door of the small cage, and then hid behind the door to observe secretly.

After no one was in the room, the female mink in the small cage quickly poked its head out of the cage and looked around.

Outside the small cage is a big cage, with no cover on the outer layer. The surroundings are all unfamiliar. The little guy is somewhat uncomfortable and looks around timidly.

Yue Feng deliberately made some footsteps. The sable heard the sound and immediately turned around and went back into the small cage covered with cloth. When he walked up to it and opened the observation hole to take a look, the little guy went back into the nest inside the cage.

“We have privacy now, and we also have a public area! As we continue to raise them, the sable will definitely become less and less afraid of people! Wow, my buddy is a genius!”

Yue Feng was very satisfied with his masterpiece. After confirming again and again that there was no problem with this experimental style that needed improvement, he immediately continued to work with full energy.

There were so many cages that Yue Feng came back with the materials in the morning and worked until 3:30 in the afternoon to solve all the cage problems. Except for a little time wasted for lunch, the rest of the time was just one hour, and he worked hard!
The small cages that could originally be placed in the main room of the north house could no longer be placed after this change. After a simple consideration, Yue Feng decided to put all the cages in the warehouse.

After the warehouse was tidied and all the cages were put away, Yue Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief. He only needed to send the cage he made for Xiaona over, and the problem of the mink cages would be solved for the time being!

After returning from grandma’s house, the team rested at home for a day. They were going to go up the mountain to release the hawks the next day. The hawks at home had not been working in the mountains for more than ten days, so their fatness had increased slightly.

Yue Feng was afraid that something might go wrong again when he went up the mountain the next day, so he called a few of his friends to his home in the evening. After dinner, the young men each held a hawk-shaped lantern and did not go home to rest until eleven o’clock.

Logically, Yue Feng should have gone up the mountain to release hawks and catch more game for the second canteen the next day, but Yue Feng did not go up the mountain because he had more important things to do!

He remembered the temporary price increase of the hides he got from the supply and marketing cooperative yesterday. Falconry is important, but taking advantage of the rising market prices to convert the hides into money and distribute it to the brothers in the hunting team is also a big deal!

Thinking of this, Yue Feng took down all the leather tubes he brought back from the beams and checked them one by one.

The climate in Northeast China is unusually dry and cold at this season, which is good for the drying of leather tubes. Sable skin is the kind with very thin leather and extremely thick fleece. After being made with crushed straw, it will dry faster.

Based on his previous understanding of leather, Yue Feng checked each leather tube one by one and found that except for the two male leathers announced on the last day, which still had an obvious difference in moisture, the moisture content of the leathers from the previous few days was basically sufficient.

Anyway, Manager Wang said yesterday that it didn’t matter if the humidity was a little off, so Yue Feng simply didn’t take out the straw from the leather tubes. He just found a sack, wrapped the eleven leather tubes with a clean sheet, and then stuffed them all into the urea bag.

The urea bag looked bulging, but it was actually very light. To be on the safe side, Yue Feng wrapped the 56 in canvas and carried it on his back when he went out.

After making preparations, Yue Feng rode his bicycle straight to the supply and marketing cooperative.

When we arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, it was just past nine in the morning. The pipes of the stove in the house were red hot, and we could even faintly hear the sound of flames burning in the chimney.

“Ah! My little brother is here!” Li Li saw Yue Feng coming in with a gun, and immediately came out from the counter to greet him.

Yue Feng nodded: “Sister, is Manager Wang here? Help me find a place. I brought the things I mentioned yesterday. They are all in the bag!”

“Come with me, I’ll take you to Manager Wang’s office!” Li Li nodded, and just as she was about to leave, she turned back and took a ruler for measuring leather from the counter.

Yue Feng followed behind with a bag of fertilizer in his hand and soon arrived at Manager Wang’s office.

Knock on the door, please come in, Yue Feng followed Li Li into the house.

“Oh, Brother Yue Feng is here! Did you bring the big guy we mentioned yesterday?” Manager Wang took a look at Yue Feng’s attire and the urea bag in his hand, and showed great enthusiasm.

Yue Feng nodded, put the bag on the ground, squatted down and slowly pulled out the leather tube wrapped in the bed sheet.

“Fuck! Your leather is of such high quality, all of it is big male leather?”

An expert can tell whether something is real or not just by looking at it. Dealing with this stuff all day long, Manager Wang has a very keen eye.

Yue Feng nodded calmly: “Not all of them, one is a female mink skin, but it is also an old mink, and the size is about the same as that of an ordinary male skin! These skins are all complete and undamaged, including the baby’s breath and gold and silver inlays that I told you about yesterday! Take a look first!”

It must be said that among the hunters who come to the supply and marketing cooperative to sell hides, none of them do it like Yue Feng. In order to get the hides rated at a higher level, who would dare to sell them with just a tube of hide stuffed bulging with straw, not even a single flaw or defect can be concealed!

Yue Feng, on the other hand, didn’t move anything. Apart from covering the fur surface with a layer of sheet to protect it, he didn’t do any other “hard work” at all.

Manager Wang took the ruler from Li Li and measured the size of the leather tubes one by one.

The length, thickness, integrity of the leather, whether there are any damage or holes, the quality of the fur surface, the thickness of the velvet, the length of the silver needles, and even the brightness were all carefully checked.

The more he looked, the more frightened Manager Wang became.

These are all newly launched leathers recently. The base is extremely dense and the long hair is shiny and bright. When viewed against the light, they exude the unique lavender halo texture of sable. These leathers are absolutely amazing.

Even the most picky buyer would give a thumbs up when seeing the leather in front of him and would not be able to find any faults at all.

What’s even more terrifying is that these are almost all large bull skins. According to the purchase standards, even the smallest one, under the current “discretionary” standards, is qualified as a top-quality full-quality large bull skin. After looking at four or five leather tubes in a row, Manager Wang picked up a new leather tube.

As soon as he started, his heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably.

There are so many silver needles, mixed with at least 20 to 30 percent of long golden needle hairs, the color of the whole leather is gray with a hint of purple, even without facing the light, you can tell the difference from other leathers at a glance. If you blow it with your mouth, the short nap underneath is so dense that you can hardly see the bottom of the leather.

“This……”

Manager Wang felt that his hands holding the leather tube were shaking.

Yue Feng smiled and nodded: “Yes, this is the gold and silver inlaid leather I mentioned, which is better than ordinary baby’s breath!

Look again, there is another one, it is slightly worse than this one, the golden needle is only 10 to 15%, but it is still much better than ordinary baby’s breath!”

Soon, the second top-quality big male skin was also found.

As the old saying goes, if you compare yourself to others, you will die; if you compare goods to others, you will throw them away. If you don’t look at these two top-quality skins, the other male mink skins are already of perfect quality level, but when compared together, the other skins immediately become dull.

“Are you selling all these skins?”

“Well, sell them all! Two of them are a bit too damp, and the others should be ready for storage! As long as the price is right, we’ll sell them all today!” Yue Feng nodded.

After Manager Wang received a positive answer, he looked at Li Li next to him with excitement.

“Xiao Li, our brother has helped our supply and marketing cooperative a lot!!!”

It was also the first time for Li Li to see so many top-notch big shots, but she was relatively calm. She prayed silently in her heart that Manager Wang would not have any bad intentions. If his younger brother found out, she, as the elder sister, would be very uncomfortable being caught in the middle.

“The leathers are all very good!” Li Li didn’t interrupt and just commented lightly.

“This piece of mother hide is big enough, and it will be sold as a top-grade full-quality product. The base price is 845, which will increase by 15%. In addition, the supply and marketing cooperative will make a 5% profit, so the price of these 1014 hides will be per piece!

“Brother, what do you think of the price I gave you? Are you satisfied?”

Manager Wang put the female mink skin into the pile of male skins, and then seemingly openly quoted Yue Feng a “sky-high price” in the eyes of ordinary people.

The normal purchase price of a first-level leather is only about 500, and even if it increases by 15%, it is only 575. If you just calculate it at 1014, ordinary people will definitely think they have made a great bargain.

But Yue Feng was very calm. The other ten skins were guaranteed to be top grade and flawless. Although the quality and size of this mother skin were slightly inferior, it was not of the quality of ordinary first grade leather.

Manager Wang really made a good plan by spending an extra four hundred yuan to get two pieces of top-quality gold and silver starry-shaped leather.

However, when dealing with smart people, one should see through things without saying them out loud. After listening to the offer, Yue Feng nodded slightly, and then picked out the two top-quality leathers.

“Thank you, Brother Wang, for your care! This price is really high. Apart from these two skins, I will sell the rest at your price. I have no objection!

Our captain said before these two skins came that he would not sell them for less than this amount! “

While speaking, Yue Feng stretched out three fingers towards Manager Wang.

“This…” Manager Wang felt a little uncomfortable after seeing the gesture of Yue Feng’s hands.

Three fingers must be three thousand.

If both hides were of the best quality, Manager Wang would grit his teeth and give them the price of four thousand each. He would make a net profit of two thousand for the two hides.

But the price of that inferior leather, according to the price given by the buyer, was just over 3,000 yuan. Giving Yue Feng 3,000 yuan was basically just doing the work.

With this calculation, I could only earn a little over a thousand dollars from two top-quality leathers. The actual profit was more than half less than the expected profit. Intellectually, I felt that making more than a thousand dollars by reselling them was not a small amount, but emotionally, I found it a little unacceptable.

“I know this price may be a bit difficult for me, and I don’t know much about it myself. Even if the deal doesn’t go through, we still have a friendship.

Otherwise, I will take these two back to the captain! He has channels to sell them to others, and the price may be higher! “

Seeing Manager Wang’s hesitant expression, Yue Feng knew that his offer was probably stuck at the right price, so he remained calm and added something slowly.

Manager Wang’s core competitiveness is that he has sales channels for top-quality leather, but Yue Feng said that his team leader also has other sales channels. This is tantamount to strangling Manager Wang’s lifeline. If he doesn’t want to sell it, then forget it. Good stuff will never be hard to sell.

“This price is a bit neither high nor low! I can pay it with gritted teeth, but then I’ll just be working in vain! You have to leave me some space!”

Manager Wang hesitated again and again but did not dare to confront Yue Feng. The other party could easily produce more than a dozen top-grade public skins, which already proved his strength. It was very likely that he had other channels.

“Well, how about this and adding this?”

As Yue Feng spoke, he took out another rolled piece of leather from under the urea bag.
