Chapter 2 A good start
Saturday, June 13, 2020.
At more than eight o'clock in the morning, the Qin family's large army was dispatched, Qin's father and Qin's mother, the third uncle and three aunts, the fifth uncle and five aunts, the little uncle and the aunt, plus Qin Liufu himself, a total of nine people went up the mountain to pick lychees.
This is to pick only one or two thousand catties of lychees, if Father Qin agrees to pick all the 17,800 catties of lychees on the mountain, there will be more than that.
A group of nine people, including Qin Liufu, were all people who were used to farm work, especially picking lychees, all of them were extremely skilled, and in just over an hour, they completed the tasks of picking, pruning branches and leaves, and framing.
At this time, the pickup truck that had been contacted last night had stopped at the foot of the mountain, and everyone began to carry lychees to the foot of the mountain.
About 2,000 catties of lychees, everyone only used them twice, and they easily transported the lychees from the mountain.
When loading the car, Uncle Qin Youjin patted Qin Liufu's shoulder and said, "Sixth, do a good job, I still have four or five thousand catties of black leaves there, if you open up a market in the provincial capital, then I will pick it for you and transport it." ”
"Uncle, don't worry, my lychee preservation technology will definitely not be a problem, you just wait for my call." Qin Liufu said confidently.
"Okay, then I'll wait!" Qin Youjin nodded with satisfaction.
"Sixth, I also have three or four thousand catties, don't forget!" the third uncle Qin Youcai also said loudly.
"I have more of them there, nearly 10,000 catties!" Fifth Uncle Qin Youbao answered.
"I haven't forgotten, the third uncle and the third aunt, the fifth uncle and the fifth aunt, as well as the little uncle and aunt, you all wait, when the nephew opens up a market in the provincial capital, he will call you as soon as possible!" Qin Liufu said with a smile.
In just a few minutes, the lychees had been loaded, and Qin's father took out the two thousand yuan that had been prepared and handed it to Qin Liufu, saying: "This is the freight, when the goods are unloaded at the place, the freight will be given to the people." ”
Qin Liufu took the money, nodded silently, and said, "Got it, then I'll go." ”
......
From Qinghe Village to the provincial capital, it is about more than 300 and nearly 400 kilometers, Qin Liufu set off at about 10 o'clock in the morning, and did not arrive at the place where the second sister lived until 3:48 in the afternoon.
Qin Liufu called the second sister last night and talked about renting a temporary warehouse, but the result was also lucky, the landlord who the second sister rented, there happened to be a garage on the first floor that was empty, and the second sister spent 300 yuan a month to rent the garage.
The second sister Qin Erying since the age of sixteen after graduating from junior high school, went out to work, the first few years were not very stable, changed a few jobs, and later was introduced, came to a chain clothing store in the provincial capital as a shopping guide, only to slowly stabilize.
The treatment of the clothing store is that there are four days off every month, and the monthly salary + commission is about four or five thousand income.
Originally, it would be Qin Erying's turn to rest tomorrow, but after receiving a call from Qin Liufu yesterday evening, she immediately called her colleagues to transfer shifts and rest a day in advance.
"Second sister!"
"Sixth, the meals are ready, you and Master Zhou should go up and eat first!"
Master Zhou is from the next village, about 40 years old this year, and when he heard Qin Erying's words, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't be so polite, this lychee can't be left in the carriage for too long, let's unload the goods first!"
"Master Zhou, don't be too anxious about unloading, it's not bad for this meal time, I only drank two bowls of white porridge in the morning, and now I'm so hungry that my chest is close to my back. Qin Liufu touched his stomach and said.
"Yes, Master Zhou, how long can you delay having a meal, go upstairs, I have calculated the time to fry the dishes, and the dishes will be cold when you wait for them!" Qin Erying also persuaded.
Seeing that the sister and brother were so enthusiastic, Master Zhou stopped refusing and said, "Since this is the case, then bother!"
......
When the last box of lychees was unloaded, Qin Liufu handed the two thousand yuan prepared by his father to Master Zhou, and said, "Master Zhou, it's hard work, this is the freight, you can click on it!"
Master Zhou took the money and stuffed it directly into his pocket, and said with a smile: "What else to order, can't I still believe Brother Qin?" Let's go, call me at any time next time if you need to!"
Qin Liufu nodded and smiled: "It must be, have a good journey!"
After Master Zhou drove the car away, Qin Erying looked at the lychees stacked in the garage with twenty bamboo frames, and said, "Sixth, how are you going to sell so many lychees?"
"Second sister, you don't need to worry about this, I have my own way, while it's still early, you go and print out your WeChat and Alipay's money collection code for me first, otherwise it will be inconvenient to collect money." Qin Liufu said.
"Sixth, do you know how to use the money collection code? If others pay unsuccessfully, do you know how to read it?" Qin Erying asked worriedly.
Although I don't have my own mobile phone, it doesn't mean that I haven't played with my mobile phone! High school students in this era, especially those in the second and third years of high school, have mobile phones nine times out of ten. I usually play with my classmates' mobile phones, and I am very familiar with the various functions of mobile phones. Qin Liufu said with a smile.
Qin Erying nodded and said, "Since you understand, it's okay, I'll go and print out the collection code for you first, and I also have to buy a scale, right?"
"I don't need to buy a scale, I don't need a scale to sell lychees!"
"Anyway, if you have a number in your heart, then I'll get you the money code first. ”
"Well, let's go together, when I came here just now, I saw that there were a lot of people at the intersection of the kindergarten who were setting up stalls selling fruits, so I'll go and inquire about the market first!"
"Well, let's go!"
When the door was about to close, Qin Liufu directly used the two functions of the fruit app's 'recovery' and 'promotion', and before he knew it, the twenty frames of lychees in the garage quietly changed.
Qin Liufu grabbed a large bunch of lychees casually, and waited for the second sister to close the car door before handing it over and saying, "Come, second sister, how about tasting our lychees this year?"
Qin Erying was also not polite, took a few from the large string of lychees, and skillfully peeled a lychee and stuffed it into her mouth while walking towards the kindergarten intersection.
The firm, crispy, sweet and juicy fresh meat made Qin Erying nod again and again, the quality of this year's black leaves should be regarded as the best in the past.
Walking to the three-way intersection in the kindergarten, Qin Liufu left a small string for himself, stuffed the rest of the lychees to the second sister, and said, "Second sister, you go and print the money collection code first!"
Qin Erying knew that he was going to stay here to inquire about the market, so he nodded, took the lychee and walked towards the left intersection while eating.
After the second sister left, Qin Liufu walked straight to the nearest fruit stall selling lychees, which was actually an electric tricycle, with a cardboard hanging on the back compartment with the words "Freshly marketed black-leaf lychees, 8 yuan per catty".
The owner of the fruit stall was a woman in her forties, and when she saw Qin Liufu coming over, although she saw him carrying lychees in her hands, her professional instinct still made her greet her: "Little handsome guy, do you want to buy lychees? The black leaves just picked today are only sold for 8 yuan a catty." ”
"Boss, this is also a black leaf, you can taste it!" Qin Liufu picked two casually and handed them over and said.
The proprietress was a little stunned when she saw this, and subconsciously took the lychee and asked, "Little handsome guy, what do you mean by this?"
"Boss, can you taste my lychee first and see how the quality is?" Qin Liufu said with a smile.
The proprietress belongs to the kind of eight-sided delicate character, although she doesn't know what she means, but she still smiled: "That's it, that's okay, I'll try it!" After speaking, she looked at the two lychees in her hand that were full of flesh and the shape and color of the best choice, and skillfully peeled one and stuffed it into her mouth to taste.
"Boss, what's the quality?" Seeing that the boss's eyes lit up slightly, Qin Liufu asked with a smile.
The proprietress is knowledgeable, and praised the words: "The quality is very good, I haven't tasted such a good quality black leaf lychee for several years, little handsome guy, do you know where to sell it?"
"To tell you the truth, little brother, I just shipped a batch of black-leaved lychees from my hometown today, if the boss lady needs it, you can come to me to get the goods, the price will definitely not be more expensive than what you get in the wholesale market." Qin Liufu said with a smile on his face.
The proprietress said with a look of surprise: "Little handsome guy, do you mean it really?
"Of course it's the same. Qin Liufu said affirmatively.
"That's great, my surname is Zhang, handsome little man, your surname, where is your goods, is it far from here?" asked the proprietress impatiently.
"Your surname is Qin, Sister Zhang, my goods are at the back of this path, and you can just turn a corner from here. Qin Liufu pointed in the direction of the garage and said.
Sister Zhang is the kind of resolute character, and she is not willing to wait for a moment, so she hurriedly said: "Brother Qin, you take me to see the goods first!"
"This ...... Sister Zhang, will you be able to wait, I still want to pull a few more customers here!" Qin Liufu said embarrassedly.
"Oh, Brother Qin, what other customers are you pulling, let's go to see the goods first, if the quality is so good and the price is suitable, I will give you all the round!" Sister Zhang said with a big package.
"Really, Sister Zhang, you can't fool me, I have about 2,000 catties of lychees, can you really eat it alone?" Qin Liufu said in disbelief.
"Brother Qin, I'm not alone, my whole family is in this industry, I'm just in charge of one of the stalls in the West District. "The proprietress has been in this business for many years, so she naturally knows how much a good supply of goods can help the business, and she naturally doesn't want outsiders to get involved if she can eat it with a large family.
Qin Liufu didn't expect that the first customer he was looking for was a big customer, and immediately smiled: "That's okay, Sister Zhang, you come with me!"
After speaking, she walked in front to lead the way, and Sister Zhang didn't say a word, and her business was suspended, so she drove a car to follow.
But within a minute or two, Qin Liufu took Sister Zhang back to the garage where the lychees were stored, and neatly took out the key to open the garage door, and a unique fragrance of fresh lychees floated out.
"Sister Zhang, the lychees are all here, a bamboo frame is around 100 catties, a total of 20 boxes, all of which were picked and loaded and transported this morning, just unloaded the goods, I went out to pull customers, Sister Zhang, you are my first customer. Qin Liufu said with a smile.
Sister Zhang, who walked into the garage, looked at it frame after frame, and with her years of experience in identifying fruits, she could naturally see that this batch of lychees was indeed too fresh to be fresh. Moreover, the lychee on the bamboo frame sells very well, both in shape and color are almost perfect, but I don't know if the quality of the lychee at the bottom of the frame is consistent with the above.
Qin Liufu had already thought about this question, and when he saw Sister Zhang finish reading one frame after another, he said: "Sister Zhang, you can taste each box of lychees as you like, and you don't have to worry that the quality of the lychees at the bottom of the frame is not as good as the above, and when you are sure that you want it, you can pour out all the lychees and carefully check and taste them." ”
Hearing Qin Liufu say this, Sister Zhang was completely relieved, and immediately said straight to the point: "Brother Qin, I don't play false, I like to go straight, I went to the wholesale market yesterday to get the goods, the wholesale price of black leaves is 5 yuan a catty, if you have no objection to this price, I will cover the goods here!"
"Sister Zhang, you know the quality of my lychee, since you are so refreshing, then I won't grind. Given that you are my first client, I can give you two options. Qin Liufu raised two fingers: "The first choice is to let you wrap it for 5 yuan a catty." The second option is 6 yuan a pound for you to wrap the round. ”
Sister Zhang asked puzzledly, "What are the benefits of this second choice for me?"
"Of course there are benefits, I can give Sister Zhang a promise to you, if this batch of lychees has changed flavor and you haven't sold it out, no matter how much is left, you can ship it back to me, and I can exchange it for better quality black leaves for you at the same weight." Qin Liufu said with a killer offer.
Sister Zhang's eyes widened when she heard this, and she lost her voice and said, "Is this true?" No wonder she was so surprised, who doesn't know that keeping fresh is the most important thing in the fruit business, especially the lychee business?
"Naturally it's true, you don't have to be afraid that I will run away after selling this batch of lychees, to tell you the truth, these two thousand catties of lychees are just used to fight the front station, if the sales are smooth, there are hundreds of thousands or even millions of catties of better quality lychees waiting to be transported up and sold!" Qin Liufu said lightly.
"Okay, Brother Qin, then let's make a decision, 6 yuan a catty, I will wrap up this batch of lychees!" Sister Zhang waved her hand and said directly.
"Refreshing, then it's a word!" Qin Liufu nodded with a smile.
The first business in my life was negotiated smoothly and without the slightest twists and turns.
