Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Storm of Price Increases
Li Xi had a bottom in his heart, and gave birth to some life fruits, so he was ready to sleep.
When I got up the next day, I first bought a copy of the Linshi evening newspaper in the community, and went directly to the food column to check if the delicious fruit was published.
The homepage of the food column is about a kind of food, which is long and written like an advertisement. Li Xi knew that this was a real advertisement, and he must have paid the money, otherwise he would not occupy the entire page of the homepage. Several snacks followed.
Eventually found an article about Coca-O in a small corner, along with a few photos. Li Xi took a look at the title: Delicious and delicious fruit, nine different flavors.
After a cursory look at the text, I feel that the writing is quite pertinent.
Li Xi secretly liked it, but was slightly disappointed. Putting the Coca-Fruit in such a small corner, the Linshi Evening News inevitably underestimated its Coca-Fruit.
But looking back, a female reporter is a novice who has just debuted, and it would be very good for people to let her pass the manuscript, and she can't be too demanding.
Thinking about this, my heart is a lot more balanced. By the way, I looked at the name of the writer and found that it was written on Chu Xiaolian, which must be the name of a female reporter.
It was not until this time that Li Xi knew the name of the female reporter. Put the newspaper on the tricycle and ride to the market in the neighborhood.
"The boss is here, the boss who sells the cacao fruit is here. ”
As soon as Li Xi arrived at the market, he was surrounded by a group of people, and some people held a copy of the evening newspaper in their hands, waving the newspaper in their hands, and said to Li Xi: "Coca-Guo, congratulations, boss." ”
"Rejoice, rejoice. Li Xi stopped the car and set up the stall.
Someone asked, "Boss, I heard that the price has increased today?"
"Yes, it's officially open, and from today onwards, the Coca-Ao fruit will cost two hundred yuan a catty. ”
"Oh!" there was disappointment in the tone of many people, obviously the sudden increase in the price of Coca-Fruit, and the sudden increase in price at once, made these people feel uncomfortable.
Someone complained, "This is too expensive, isn't it? It has doubled all of a sudden, boss, you can't raise the price so darkly." ”
"It was sold too cheaply a few days ago, and now it is officially open, and of course the price has to be adjusted back. Li Xi patiently explained.
A man said cool words, "I don't believe it, there are still people who buy it when it rises so much all of a sudden?"
Someone responded, "Yes, let's not buy it, let's see how he sells it." ”
The gossipy, bewitched by this person, really someone went out of the team and stepped aside.
The man who proposed at first was a man in his thirties, and when he saw that someone had responded to him, he became more and more proud, and shouted, "Let's not buy it, see if he can go up." One hundred yuan a catty is expensive enough, but when it rises to two hundred yuan, who can afford to eat it?"
"Yes, yes, don't buy it. Several people responded at the same time.
Seeing this situation, Li Xi couldn't help but be a little worried, if there were too many people boycotting, he was afraid that the price would fail.
But then I saw the crowd in line, and I was relieved. There are really a lot of people waiting to buy the cacao fruit, although a few people have gone out, there are still many people left, and many people are waiting elsewhere, seeing that they are coming, they are coming.
When Li Xi saw this result, he realized that his worries were unnecessary.
The calamity is not for people with average incomes. Those who have money and can afford to eat will not care about the price at all, and those who have no money will not eat even cheaper.
At the moment, regardless of the few who resisted the price increase, they began to sell delicious fruits.
In an instant, a lot of them were sold.
Li Xi noticed that there were several luxury cars parked on the side of the road, and it was almost impossible for people who drove such cars to come to such places to buy groceries.
Obviously, these drivers are here because of their delicious fruit. It had only been a few days since the Coca-Fruit was sold, and the reputation spread, and some wealthy people drove here to buy the Coca-Fruit.
This is a good thing, Li Xi secretly rejoiced.
"Boss Li, it's early!"
Zhuo Gongmin, the manager of Shanhai Hotel, who wanted to order yesterday, came and greeted Li Xi with a smile.
"Morning. Li Xi was overjoyed when he saw Zhuo Gongmin, "Have you thought about it, do you want to place an order?"
Zhuo Gongmin nodded, "After I went back, I discussed it with the boss, and the price was acceptable." I just want to ask Boss Li, take 30 catties to try first, if the sales are good, then increase, can the supply be satisfied?"
"If it's not more than a hundred pounds, it's still okay. "Li Xi's delicious fruit was born by himself using his skills, and it is available all year round. However, although the delicious fruit tree is a miscellaneous tree, it takes time to grow, and when it is ripe, it takes time to pick it yourself. Li Xi's time can't be spent entirely on producing delicious fruits.
"That's fine. Zhuo Gongmin breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "There is another request, I want to ask Boss Li to see if he can supply only one of us, if only one of us is supplied, the price is still negotiable." ”
"I'm sorry, but I can't grant you this request. Li Xi directly refused.
This reply was expected, so after Zhuo Gongmin heard it, he didn't feel any surprises. He thought for a moment and said, "If there are other hotels that you have ordered here, let me know in advance, can you see it?"
This request was not excessive, and Li Xi agreed.
Zhuo Gongmin said with satisfaction: "In that case, Boss Li, let's just say it?"
"Yes. Li Xi thought for a while, "However, I also have two requests, you can see if you can accept it." ”
"Boss Li, please speak. "Zhuo Gongmin is very polite.
"Cash transactions, you send people to pick up the goods every day, I don't send them. Li Xi's face was serious.
Like this kind of big hotels, big supermarkets and the like, Li Xi has heard a lot about delaying the money of vegetable farmers. Obviously there is money, but if you don't give it, you can drag it out for a year and a half. When you come here, you can't let them come around. Either don't buy it, or cash for it.
"No problem!" Zhuo Gongmin smiled.
Li Xi would have such a statement, but it was not very surprising to him, how could it be possible for you to press the payment for the goods when other people's cacao fruits were so easy to sell?
"It's okay to go to my house and get it, it's okay to come here and get it, anyway, you have my phone. Li Xi said.
"Let them call you then. Zhuo Gongmin said.
Li Xi has no opinion.
Thinking of the fruit of life, he said to Zhuo Gongmin: "I also have a kind of fruit here, called the fruit of life, do you want to take a look? However, its price is much more expensive than the delicious fruit." ”
"Life fruit? Not ginseng fruit?" The name "Life fruit" is a bit peculiar, which makes Zhuo Gongmin immediately think of ginseng fruit. As for the price, he didn't pay much attention to it, the price was not expensive, how could he get into a five-star hotel?
"No, it's the fruit of life. Li Xi hurriedly corrected, "Life is a hundred flavors, also known as a hundred flavors." ”
"The name is really interesting. Zhuo Gongmin praised with a smile.
"You see, this is it. Li Xi took out a few fruits of life, handed them to Zhuo Gongmin, and added: "This fruit can really taste the flavors of life." ”
