571 Wayward Vegetable Seller
(Thanks to my friend Hiyoshi, I'll take a look at the monthly pass first)
"Boss, what do we do then?" asked Suzanne a little depressed, looking at the table full of dishes, she didn't have much appetite.
"It's okay, it's all expected. In the afternoon, let's open a small conference room in the hotel and invite all the relevant leaders of these five companies to come, especially the person in charge of 7-Eleven. Liu Heming said very easily.
"That's fine, I've already contacted all of them, but it's just a little bit ahead of schedule. Suzanne nodded.
She was also depressed, she didn't expect it to be so troublesome to sell a radish and cabbage. Obviously, there are very good products and the price is very good, but they are pushing.
Turning anger into appetite, Suzanne viciously ate a bibimbap, and then ate a lot of kimchi made by Liu Heming. Alex was very envious, because now Susanna's speed of eating is almost catching up with Uncle Robin. For people who can eat, Alex has always admired them and thinks they are the most powerful.
At noon, I was going to take a little nap, mainly because Alex was sleeping beautifully, which suddenly made Liu Heming sleepy. If Suzanne hadn't come and call him, the father and daughter might have slept until the night.
"Are they all here?" Liu Heming casually washed his face and made himself feel a little more refreshed.
"They all came, but they seemed to be curious as to why they had been called. Suzanne said with a smile.
"Are you also curious?" asked Liu Heming.
Suzanne nodded, "I'm really curious. ”
"Actually, the main reason why our cabbage radish sells so hard is that we are too anxious to sell it, and we always feel that these tens of millions of dollars are not so solid if we don't earn them. Liu Heming said with a smile.
"And these people can import cabbage and radish from Huaxia nearby, and they also have the confidence in their hearts, and they can afford to drag it out with us, so we have such an embarrassing result now. ”
"Think about it from another angle, we would rather not have this money, but also uphold our tradition of high-quality vegetables and high prices, will the situation be slightly better?"
"Oh my God, boss, didn't you wake up and talk in your sleep? That's tens of millions of dollars. Susanna's voice has been raised a lot.
"If you want to be reserved, you are still a beauty. Liu He understood her.
"We can't just look at the current year, we also have to think about the future. If we can really open up the Korean market and make people accustomed to using our radish and cabbage to make kimchi, as a high-end brand of kimchi, then we will be able to have a stable sales channel in the future. ”
"Let's try it, anyway, although the value of our dishes is very high, their cost is very low. Even if we can't sell it, the allocation is actually tens of thousands of dollars. When you think about it, you'll have a lot easier. ”
Suzanne smiled bitterly, although it was okay to think so, but how could she think so. There are so many cabbage and radish, even if the price is lower, as long as it can be sold smoothly, it will be a lot of money.
When they came to the conference room, it seemed that they didn't pay much attention, and each company only sent one person. Liu Heming was not discouraged, anyway, he really thought about it, if you don't buy it or not, this price and standard will definitely not be up to you.
"Hello everyone, you can call me Dexter, these turnips and cabbage are produced in my pasture. Liu Heming said with a smile after sitting down.
As soon as he spoke, Suzanne was startled, because Liu Heming was not speaking English, but Korean, which was very authentic. When did the boss learn Korean?
"Except for CU and GS25, the other three may be a little confused about me inviting people over. Liu Heming continued.
"All the vegetables produced in my farm far exceed the USDA certification standard, the highest rating standard of the United States Department of Agriculture, and each batch of our vegetables is also handed over to SGS for the most professional and comprehensive testing. This is the kimchi I made, you can taste it and see how it tastes when we make these dishes into kimchi. ”
After Liu Heming finished speaking, he put the prepared kimchi in front of them and motioned for them to taste it to their heart's content.
"Boss, when did you learn Korean?" asked Suzanne in a low voice.
"I've prepared a lot, but I've memorized them all hard, and I'm studying hard now. Liu Heming told a serious lie.
No matter how good he is, he can't master Korean so proficiently after sleeping, but it is still the help of the system. It may be that this is acting on himself, and it will not affect him when he is not in the pasture. However, he also has some pain, and it costs 20 points of bio energy.
These five people are not considered foodies, but when it comes to eating kimchi, they can all be called well-deserved connoisseurs. Eat it every day, you don't know anything, it's delicious or not, and you can't eat it?
The kimchi made by Liu Heming must be impeccable, which means that there is no small lake water here, otherwise it will be even more terrible.
"I'm from Huaxia, so when it comes to making kimchi, my skills are much worse. There is no kimchi soup that has been passed down for a long time in Korean families, otherwise these kimchi would taste even better. Liu Heming said with a smile.
"Because South Korea is now tariff-free on imported cabbage and radish, we will also give you a kind price, cabbage is $1,400 a ton, and radish is $1,200 a ton, which are all fob. ”
Hearing his words, the heads of both CU and GS25 shook their heads, the price was too high. If it is fob, cabbage is up to $1,000 a ton, and radish is up to $800 a ton.
"The cabbage and turnips are sold at Tajita and Walmart supermarkets in the United States, and the price per ton is about $1,900 and $1,600 per ton. After Liu Heming finished speaking, he turned on the computer and showed them the photos of the vegetables on his two supermarket booths.
It's not just cabbage and turnips, it's the rest of the vegetables. At that price, these people gasped.
Not generally tall, but too tall. The prices of $20 melons, $249 watermelons, and commonly used vegetables such as tomatoes and green peppers are also very high, and there seem to be many people who buy them.
It's not just a few pictures, it's a set of pictures that allow these people to have a visual comparison.
"Our ranch has been cultivating and producing the world's highest quality agricultural and animal husbandry products. Maybe the quality of Korean vegetables is better, but I dare say that the quality of my vegetables is currently the highest standard of all the evaluation agencies in the world. Unless there is a local testing agency in Korea, the standards implemented are different from SGS, ITS, and BV. ”
"We don't need to say those polite words, because the purpose of my vegetables is not to sell them to ordinary people, but to provide them to the upper class for consumption. ”
"Right now, we have a limited vegetable production, so the market we face is mainly in the United States. But we will also have the rest of the agricultural products on the market. ”
"We didn't choose to work with big conglomerates, such as Samsung, Rakuten, or even LG headquarters, but directly chose your convenience store companies. In order to reduce the intermediate links and leave you with enough profits. ”
"Another point is that all the categories of our vegetables are directly supplied to the Qatari royal family. This document was not made by me, but was granted by the Qatari royal family, and you can check with the relevant persons in charge of the royal family. ”
"So, even if we can't find a market for these vegetables here in Korea, we won't continue to reduce the price. Because if the price is reduced, it will lower the quality of my vegetables in disguise. ”
"Although I am giving the FOB price, you can peel off the outer leaves of these cabbages after they are landed, and the amount will not be counted. The roots and head of the radish will also be cut off and deducted from the total weight. ”
"Mr. Nam Yong Kim, you are the head of 7-Eleven Korea. I would like to ask you to contact me with the relevant people of Seven & I Holdings in Japan, because I am also planning to sell my vegetables in Japan. ”
"People who live in Japan care about the quality of life, and in the future, we may be able to collaborate on a variety of aspects such as rice, noodles, and vegetables. Even if 7-Eleven doesn't buy my vegetables this time, it's okay, so it's a request from a friend. ”
From beginning to end, Liu Heming was speaking alone, and what he said was very strong. He doesn't care how other people's business is done, this is his own business.
He also really figured out that if these radishes and cabbage were processed at a low price, then when the news was transmitted back to the United States in the future, it would definitely have an impact on the prices of other dishes.
He just told these people, at this price, you don't have to talk to me about the quality of vegetables, our radish and cabbage can withstand the test. That's why they sell so willfully, if you think you have a profit margin, you will buy it, and if you don't have it, you won't buy it.
In fact, he also left an additional profit margin for these people, that is, the part of the outer leaves of the cabbage and the removal of the roots and heads of the radish.
He will remove it, but these people will not be removed when they are put on the shelves in the future, and they have already made great concessions to them in disguise.
These people also understand that if you purchase one or two tons, the profit of this part is negligible. But what if you buy a lot? How should this part of the profit be distributed, can you do it yourself?
They're direct-to-consumer convenience stores, so they're pretty clear about these small margins. But they also have to consider what will happen to the sales of such radishes and cabbage when they enter the Korean market.
Especially Jin Nanyong thinks more, if he acts as a medium to help Liu Heming connect with the head office, what kind of benefits can he get.
He didn't take Liu Heming's words too seriously, if he didn't purchase his vegetables, this line would definitely not work.
