Chapter 22: Unexpected Troubles
It turned out to be a door-to-door order.
Li Xi suddenly realized that he had no aversion to a five-star hotel. Although the things in the hotel are sold expensively, the pit people don't explain. But who told you to deliberately go over and let people slaughter?
People are clearly marked, and the price of each dish is clearly marked on the menu. Most of those who ran over to be slaughtered, and in the end it was too expensive, most of them had a few small coins in their hands and wanted to show off, but the result was ...... Needless to say.
"How many catties do you want, and what price do you pay?" Li Xi asked.
"At the end of the day, it will cost dozens of pounds. Zhuo Gongmin smiled, "As for the price, Boss Li's fruit is so easy to sell, let's come at the market price." ”
"No, the market price. When Li Xi heard the market price, he shook his head directly.
"What does Boss Li mean......" Zhuo Gongmin was stunned for a moment and asked Li Xi.
Li Xi said: "The market price of my Coca-Fruit is 100 yuan a catty, and if you go to a five-star hotel, according to your pricing standards, a plate and a half catty of Coca-O fruit will cost at least 5 or 600 yuan, right? Maybe you can ask for good luck and set a price of 888, 999 or something." The difference between the two prices is so big, won't I suffer?"
Although Li Xi has never been to a five-star hotel, he guessed their price standards based on speculation.
Zhuo Gongmin shook his head again and again, "How can it be so expensive?" Boss Li laughed. ”
"If you stick to the market price, it's not impossible, just send someone to me every day to buy it. If you want me to keep the goods for you, the market price will definitely not work. Li Xi's tone was firm.
Zhuo Gongmin hesitated for a while before he said, "What does Boss Li mean?"
Li Xi pondered for a moment, "The Coca-Fruit is too easy to sell, and I will be ready to increase the price tomorrow, from one hundred yuan a pound to two hundred yuan a pound." If you want me to keep the goods, I will keep it for you at a fixed price, 300 yuan a catty, otherwise you will buy it yourself. ”
Zhuo Gongmin was silent, judging from the current situation, of course, it is more cost-effective to buy it yourself, but if you buy it yourself, you may not be able to buy it every day.
For this kind of hotel, especially for large hotels, the price of ingredients is not the most important issue, but the quality and supply of ingredients are the most important criteria.
If one day the customer orders the food, and suddenly finds that there are no ingredients, the impact on the hotel's reputation is quite large, especially this kind of big hotel, which receives not ordinary customers.
When encountering some second-generation people who don't have a good temper or something, it's all a trivial matter to flip the table and beat people.
The Coca-Fruit is so delicious, and after serving this dish, it is really normal for it to become popular. At that time, I'm afraid that many people will come to the hotel to order this dish. In this case, a sudden shortage of supply is really a rather fatal thing.
Li Xi saw that the other party was silent, so he didn't say more, anyway, he was the only one who had Coca-Fruit, and he was not afraid that the other party would not agree. Further, even if the other party doesn't agree, he doesn't care, a hundred catties of Coca-O fruit a day, without a hotel order, is not afraid that he can't sell it.
"Boss Li, I have to think about this matter. Zhuo Gongmin pondered for a moment and said to Li Xi.
"Okay. Li Xi responded with a smile, the other party said to think about it, in his guess, most of them went back to ask the boss for instructions, so he said: "Think about it casually, think it through, and come here to find me." ”
"Boss Li, can you leave a contact information?" Zhuo Gongmin pondered for a moment and asked Li Xi.
"Contact, OK. Li Xi told his contact information.
Zhuo Gongmin wrote down Li Xi's contact information and said again: "Please ask Boss Li to weigh me a pound of delicious fruit." He didn't dare to make the decision himself, so he had to go back and discuss with the boss to buy a pound of delicious fruit, and then bring it back to the boss to taste.
Li Yi weighed him a catty, Zhuo Gongmin paid the bill, and said a few kind words before leaving with the Coca-Fruit.
"Boss, the price of Coca-Fruit will increase tomorrow?" Someone heard what Li Xi and Zhuo Gongmin said just now, and asked.
"yes. Li Xi raised his voice, "The first three days were trial operations, and today is the last day, and from tomorrow, the price will rise to two hundred yuan a catty." ”
"Two hundred yuan a catty, that's too expensive, isn't it?" someone whispered.
Li Xi smiled and did not answer. He has long figured out that for rich people, even if they sell for 1,000 yuan a catty, people can still afford to eat, and for those who don't have money, even if they sell for 50 yuan a catty, some people still think it's expensive.
The cacao fruit is not for ordinary people.
How much is caviar a pound? How much is French foie gras a pound? How much is truffle a pound? Rich people still don't eat it?
After all, there are only a few people who complain about the high price, and someone reacted quickly and said loudly: "The price will increase tomorrow, buy more today, boss, I want the rest." ”
"I want it all. ”
"I came first, I want them all. ”
……
Several people shouted that they wanted it all, after all, no one is stupid, since the price will increase tomorrow, buy all the rest back today, even if you don't eat it, you can earn half of it as soon as you sell it tomorrow.
With such a delicious and delicious fruit, you don't have to worry about not being able to sell it.
"You all want it, what are we going to buy?" the people in the queue in front heard the shouts of the people behind them.
"First come, first served, first served. Li Xi shouted loudly.
There are also people who don't want to turn their hands, "Boss, get me three catties." ”
After Li Xi collected the money, he began to weigh it.
"Let's let, let's let's, trouble let's go. A woman squeezed in from the crowd.
Several people shouted at the same time, "First come, first come, buy fruit and line up at the back." ”
"Hehe!" the woman smiled and replied, "I don't buy fruit, I'll go to the owner of the fruit seller." ”
When everyone heard her say this, they didn't say anything and continued to line up to buy fruit.
When Li Xi heard the woman's words, he couldn't help but raise his head and glance at the woman.
Isn't this the female reporter I met in the community yesterday?
The female reporter didn't recognize Li Xi, and said with a smile: "This boss, I'm a reporter from the Linshi Evening News, can I interview you?"
"Didn't you see that I was busy?" Li Xi impatiently refused.
For a while, I couldn't guess why this female reporter came here to look for herself, and thought it was the problem of the poplar tree yesterday again.
"Hehe!" The female reporter did not have the slightest frustration after being rejected, smiled slightly, and asked directly: "This big brother, I heard that you have practiced kung fu, right? Yesterday in this place, he lifted a pickup truck with one hand and threw three people more than ten meters high? Is there such a thing?"
Yesterday, I patronized and cleaned up people and put an end to future troubles, and I forgot that there is also the journalist industry. It's okay to play tricks in the community, if you publish it in the newspaper, won't the people who come to apprentice be annoyed to death?
Li Xi regretted it slightly, and glared at the female reporter, "Spread falsehood!"
The female reporter's smile did not decrease, "This big brother, I heard that your kung fu was learned from a hidden master, and you can break your clothes by expanding your chest, is there such a thing?"
