Chapter 316: A Visitor from the Capital
After sending Jessica away, Xiao Ping's life returned to its normal rhythm. Every day, I manage the daily affairs of the company and the farm, chat with a few confidants on the phone, and at night inspect the space of the demon refining pot, and look at the animals that thrive in it and giggle happily.
Time is fleeting, the hottest two months have passed, and it seems that the autumn season is about to arrive. The saury fish in the fish pond have all grown to about half a catty under Wang Xiaohu's careful raising. Such a large saury is very rare in the market, Xiao Pingzheng and Wang Xiaohu are discussing whether to catch some of them first and see the feedback from the market.
Facing the sparkling fish pond, Xiao Ping instructed Wang Xiaohu beside him: "Otherwise, let's do it first, catch a few dozen tomorrow, and I will personally send them to major hotels to see what they say." ”
"Okay. Wang Xiaohu nodded dryly: "I'll start fishing early tomorrow morning, and when you get up, the fish will already be able to be loaded into the tank, so that when you send it to the hotel, you can guarantee that they are all alive." ”
This also made Xiao Ping a little embarrassed, his problem of sleeping lazy is already well known in the farm, so Wang Xiaohu will say this. However, it was impossible to make Xiao Ping give up the habit of sleeping until he woke up naturally, so he acquiesced to Wang Xiaohu's words, and immediately nodded and said: "Okay, then so be it! Chef Sun from the Garden Hotel will come in a while, first pick up a few for him to take back, he is our first customer, and this care is always needed." ”
While the two were talking, Wang Cannon came in a hurry on his old tank, and shouted at Xiao Ping from afar: "Boss, someone from the capital is coming, do you want to go and see him?"
"People from the capital?" Xiao Ping, who was a little confused, said puzzledly: "I don't have any acquaintances in the capital!"
Wang Dacang hurriedly explained: "It's not you who know, he said that he is the largest non-staple food wholesaler in the capital, and he came to you to talk about cooperation." ”
As the world of working in the farm became longer and longer, Wang Dacang's feelings for the farm became deeper and deeper, and they were more excited than Xiao Ping to see the customers. Although the current production capacity of the farm is very much more accepting of new customers. However, recently the company is planning to open up a larger market, Xiao Ping felt the need to meet customers from Beijing. Perhaps we can seize this opportunity to open up the northern market.
So Xiao Ping quickly rushed to the office and met Wang Dacang's big customer from the capital, the boss of the Beijing Guangyuan Trading Company, Wu Zhuoxing.
Wu Zhuoxing is in his fifties and is a big man with a big voice. After seeing Xiao Ping, he first introduced himself very enthusiastically, and then said with a smile: "Boss Xiao." I don't like to beat around the bush either. I just want to ask your company if you can provide some agricultural products to our company?"
Judging from Wu Zhuoxing's speech and demeanor, Xiao Ping felt that he was indeed a real person. He replied directly: "Mr. Wu, I am dissatisfied with your statement that all the agricultural products produced in our farm have been contracted by restaurants in several nearby cities and the Dahua Trading Company in Shencheng, and I am afraid it will be difficult to provide any goods to your company." ”
"Dahua Trade?" Wu Zhuoxing frowned and said, "I didn't expect to be preempted by Ma Jie this time. What an unwillingness!"
Looking at Wu Zhuoxing's annoyed look, Xiao Ping couldn't help but laugh and said, "Does Mr. Wu also know Mr. Ma?"
"Although we are peers, the focus of his career is in the south and I am in the north, and we have no conflict with each other, so we can be regarded as friends. Wu Zhuoxing did not hide from Xiao Ping, and after telling him frankly about his relationship with Ma Jie, he asked expectantly: "Mr. Xiao, can you give me some orders from other restaurants? ”
Xiao Ping shook his head apologetically and said, "I'm really sorry, these restaurants have been my customers since the farm first opened." We didn't sign a contract with each other, though. But I'm not going to reduce their supply. After all, people helped me when I was in trouble, and now that I'm in a better situation, I can't kick them away, right?"
Although the request was rejected by Xiao Ping, Wu Zhuoxing did not have any displeasure, but gave a thumbs up and said, "Okay." Mr. Xiao, I love to hear what you say, and the most important thing for people is not to forget their roots. Regardless of whether the cooperation between us can succeed or not, I have made you a friend!"
Before Xiao Ping could speak, Sun Lin's voice came in from outside: "Who are you going to make friends with?" This problem hasn't been fixed yet, has it?"
Hearing Sun Lin's voice, Wu Zhuoxing immediately showed a surprised expression, and hurriedly stood up and asked, "Is it Sun Lin?"
"It's not me!" Sun Lin quickly appeared in the office. smiled and stretched out his arms to Wu Zhuoxing and said, "Senior brother, why didn't you come to me when you came to Su City?"
Wu Zhuoxing gave Sun Lin a big hug, and then said with a smile: "How can I not go to you when I come to Su City, I don't want to do anything, I plan to go to you for a few drinks after finishing my errands!"
Seeing that the two were familiar with each other, Xiao Ping couldn't help but smile and said, "Mr. Wu, Chef Sun, it turns out that you know each other, this is really a coincidence!"
"This Wu Zhuoxing is my senior brother, who studied with my master back then. Sun Lin smiled and said to Xiao Ping: "At that time, he was the eldest of our brothers, but he didn't take care of us. ”
Wu Zhuoxing shook his head and said, "Don't mention it, I'm the oldest, but I have the worst talent." After leaving the school, the craftsmanship could not be compared with the junior and disciples, so he could only change careers to do business. ”
Sun Lin said with a smile: "Aren't you doing a good job in trading now, you are the richest among the senior brothers." By the way, this Xiao Xiao is not an outsider, not only did the master live with him for a few days a while ago, but also accepted his girlfriend as an apprentice!"
"Oh, there's still such a thing!" Wu Zhuoxing looked at Xiao Ping in surprise and said, "In this way, aren't you our senior brother-in-law?"
Sun Lin also said happily: "Isn't it, the master came to me a few days ago, let me and my little sister start, he personally made the Buddha jumping over the wall, that taste...... Tsk!"
Hearing Sun Lin say this, Wu Zhuoxing's saliva was about to flow down, and he couldn't help patting his thigh and said, "Oh, I knew that there was such a good thing in Lu Dao, I must have come earlier!"
Wu Zhuoxing's temper was also quite in line with Xiao Ping's appetite, and Sun Lin's words made the relationship between the two sides much closer, so Xiao Ping immediately smiled and said: "Since everyone is their own person, then let's have dinner here with me today, there are all kinds of ingredients in the farm, and it is very convenient to make." ”
Wu Zhuoxing said happily: "Then I'm welcome, I just want to taste the specialties of Brother Xiao's farm." ”
Sun Lin spread his hands helplessly and said: "I am the only one who cooks, and I can't eat the things you two make!"
Of course, there will be no shortage of ingredients in the farm, and Sun Lin didn't take much effort to make a table full of dishes. In addition to the vegetables produced on the farm, eggs and green-shelled chickens are of course indispensable, and Xiao Ping also contributed saury and eel. With so many rare ingredients, coupled with Sun Lin's craftsmanship, Wu Zhuoxing was full of praise for eating, and sighed that since he left the teacher, he hadn't eaten such a delicious meal for decades.
This also made Wu Zhuoxing even more emotional, and sighed that Sun Lin was lucky enough to know Xiao Ping one step earlier than himself, otherwise these superb ingredients would all fall into the palm of his old Wu's hands.
"Hehe, this is a character problem!" Sun Lin, who drank some wine, was very interested, and smiled proudly at his senior brother: "Since Xiao Xiao supplied our restaurant, my Chinese restaurant has been full almost every day, and business is so good that I have nothing to say!"
Senior brother's words made Wu Zhuoxing even more depressed, and he couldn't help but sigh long: "Alas...... You're shit luck, where do you make sense?"
Seeing that the brothers were running on each other, Xiao Ping couldn't help but feel a little funny. Seeing that Wu Zhuoxing was indeed very sincere in cooperation, he interrupted the two with a smile and said, "Mr. Wu, the production capacity of the farm is close to the limit, and there is really no way to supply it to you." But I have another solution, I wonder if you're interested?"
Wu Zhuoxing hurriedly said: "Let's hear it!"
"Your market is in the north with the capital as the center, to be honest, if you really pull goods from Su City, it will not only affect the freshness of the goods, but also the logistics cost is a big expense. Xiao Ping said the plan he had already thought of: "It's better for you to find a piece of land in the capital, invest in building a vegetable base by yourself, and I will provide you with a sufficient amount of vegetable seeds on time, so that you have enough supplies, and I can also make some seed money." I've used this method to work with local companies in Japan and Australia, what do you think of it?"
After listening to Xiao Ping's words, Wu Zhuoxing's eyes lit up, this plan was too beneficial to him, as long as the price of seeds provided by Xiao Ping was not ridiculously expensive, Wu Zhuoxing's profit was definitely much higher than wholesale vegetables from him to the northern retail.
Thinking of this, Wu Zhuoxing couldn't help but feel a little moved, and asked Xiao Ping with a smile: "Brother Xiao, you just believe in me like this, aren't you afraid that I will breed your vegetable seeds privately and turn this into your own business?"
The vegetable seeds provided by Xiao Ping were all soaked in the spring of the demon refining pot, and even if new seeds were propagated, they could only grow ordinary vegetables, but fortunately, the company had already suffered a big loss at this point. But of course Xiao Ping wouldn't casually tell his biggest secret, he just smiled faintly: "This kind of thing relies on mutual trust, we are also our own people, I believe you will not cheat me." ”
"Well said!" Xiao Ping's words made Wu Zhuoxing very useful, and said loudly with satisfaction: "He is worthy of being a young man valued by the master, this bearing is different, I have made a friend of yours!"
Xiao Ping thought that Wu Zhuoxing had accepted his suggestion, raised his glass and said, "Then I wish us a happy cooperation!"
However, Wu Zhuoxing did not raise his glass, but shook his head and said in a deep voice: "It's a pity, I can't agree with your suggestion!"
