174 Auction of topaz
"Auction, what kind of auction method?" Qian Lina didn't expect Zhou Kun to suddenly put forward the concept of auction, in fact, even if it is a competitive bidding for fruits, this is relatively rare in the fruit industry, as for selling fruits in the form of public auctions, there is almost no such situation in China.
"Our lemons don't sell, is it really because of poor quality? Not really. It's just that many people are not optimistic about domestic lemons, and they denied it at the first time, and at present, businessmen from their own country and rice countries come to buy topaz, which is just an opportunity for everyone to re-understand the value of topaz, and I think the form of public auction is the most intuitive. ”
Zhou Kun's words made Qian Lina stunned suddenly, as if what he said was very reasonable. When his own lemons were promoted before, no one came to buy them even if they were at a low price, but there was no need to promote them abroad, and topaz lemons were already popular.
If it's just because of the quality of the lemons, then why do so many people buy topaz lemons from their home countries and send them back to Tongcheng?
To put it bluntly, it's just that the reputation of topaz lemon is not loud enough. If, as Zhou Kun put it, all the wholesalers were to be brought together for a public auction now, it could be a good opportunity for their topaz lemons to make a name for themselves.
"What other thoughts do you have for this auction?"
"First of all, we have to count the total future production of all topaz lemons, and then we will target the topaz lemons that can be sold at the moment for this auction. The first batch of topaz lemons is very important for wholesalers around the world, after all, if you can grab the first batch of topaz at the beginning, then it means that you are the first to seize the market, even if other merchants can get the supply of topaz later, the first-mover advantage will still exist. ”
"You have a great idea, is there anything else?"
"We also want to invite all the other wholesalers in Tongcheng to watch this auction, and we will never reveal to them in the early stage that the lemons sold by our company are topaz lemons transferred back from the local country, I am very much looking forward to what their expressions will be when they finally know the truth." ”
Qian Lina didn't expect Zhou Kun to have such a bad taste, but thinking of the frustration she had suffered when selling lemons before, as well as the cold words of those wholesalers, Qian Lina suddenly felt that Zhou Kun's idea seemed to be very good.
As Qian Lina and Zhou Kun continued to discuss the details, the matter about the topaz auction was decided, and soon the relevant people in Tongcheng Fruit Industry received an invitation letter from Kunyang, inviting them to participate in the auction of the latest batch of lemons in Kunyang.
The peers of Tongcheng Fruit Industry all think that Qian Lina, this woman, is crazy, their lemons have now become a joke in the industry, after all, the lemons that can only be sold by tying are still thinking about holding an auction, will anyone really buy them?
But after they inquired around, they found that basically all the people who make fruits in Tongcheng have received the corresponding invitations, and the scale of Kunyang this time is quite large, although I don't know which big boss will buy this batch of lemons, but as a rare gathering of Tongcheng fruit industry, many people have the idea of knowing new customers and go to participate in this auction.
In addition, they will continue to order Kunyang's black jade watermelon and floral grapefruit next year, so after the invitation to this auction was sent, the bosses of the fruit industry said that they would come to participate.
However, the appearance of a group of people surprised Zhou Kun.
"Xiao Zhou, what kind of auction is your company holding and why didn't you tell us?"
Zhou Kun didn't expect that Huang Fang didn't know where to learn about their company's auction. Could it be that Qian Lina explained to her? He looked at Qian Lina with inquiring eyes, and found that the other party was also at a loss.
"I still heard from the boss of the neighborhood next door, the young man who peeled pomegranates with us last time, do you remember?"
Zhou Kun never expected that Mrs. Huang was really hand-eyed, and even Guo Wei was so familiar with her.
"This auction is mainly to sell lemons to the outside world, our Jinlan flowers are our own people, naturally we don't need these methods, aunties need lemons as long as you give me a call, why do you want to participate in this auction?"
In fact, Huang Fang and the others are also kind, after all, the news that there is a batch of unsalable lemons in Kunyang has reached the ears of the old ladies of Jinlan Flower, and the purpose of their coming to join in the fun is very simple, that is, they want to help Xiao Zhou and see if they can help him sell a little of the goods.
So when the old ladies of the flower of Jinlan appeared at the auction of topaz, the bosses of the fruit industry began to talk about it.
"What do you say these old ladies are coming from, and how are they all mixed up in this auction?"
"It can't be Kunyang's trust, right?"
"Then this Kunyang is too explicit, it's not better to recruit these old ladies to be supporters, and find a few young people. ”
"Anyway, I don't care so much, Kunyang's lemons are clearly unsalable, if it weren't for the floral grapefruit, I wouldn't have entered this batch of lemons. ”
"Everyone is the same, in the final analysis, everyone is still for the fragrance of flowers, if I want me to say that we are still used to that Qian Lina, when she has the direction of distribution at the beginning, we should cut her off. ”
"Pinch, how to pinch, you said it was good, you didn't participate when you went back to buy watermelon and grapefruit?"
"Forget it, don't mention it, I don't think any fool will fall for him this lemon. ”
As a result, many owners of the fruit industry came to the auction with a good show. After all, the black jade watermelon and floral grapefruit before Kunyang were too sought-after, and at the same time, they also had a lot of complaints, and they could be said to have put down their bodies for the sake of black jade and floral grapefruit.
changed to an ordinary fruit company, a small company of Kunyang's size, and it was difficult for them to even take a serious look before.
In other words, they were jealous, jealous that Zhou Kun and Qian Lina could get such a good fruit, and all of them had fantasized in their minds, if this flowery grapefruit was in their hands, what kind of scene would it be?
At the same time, Yamazaki-kun from his home country brought the owner of Okada Co., Ltd. behind him, Tetsuichi Okada, to the auction site.
Ji Jiayan's teacher Renaud and his friend Howard also came to the auction, and they also discovered the value of topaz.
