Chapter 0032 - Vegetable Sales
Located in the scenic Nanshan Forest Park in Shicheng District, Crown Hotel Shicheng is the earliest four-star hotel built in Shicheng and one of the three four-star hotels in Shicheng today. It belongs to Shicheng District Hongye State-owned Assets Management Co., Ltd. and is a reception hotel designated by Shicheng District government agencies. Since the opening of the hotel, it has received more than 1,000 government meetings, celebrities and large-scale events.
One early morning in mid-August, Zeng Cheng drove his newly purchased Jiangling Treasure Book, loaded with fresh vegetables and watermelons from his vegetable patch, to the top hotel in Shicheng District.
Considering the large number of vegetables produced in Baicao Space, Zeng Cheng definitely couldn't set up a stall to sell vegetables by himself, it would be a drop in the bucket and couldn't solve the problem. Therefore, after careful consideration, he finally set his sights on several large hotels in the city, to be exact, three four-star hotels in the city. Only such a hotel can make it possible to purchase his vegetables on a large scale.
As a reception hotel designated by the Shicheng District government department, Crown Hotel is undoubtedly the leader among the three four-star hotels, both in terms of the level of receiving customers and the consumption level of customers, which is undoubtedly higher than the other two hotels. Therefore, Zeng Cheng took it as the first sales target. Zeng Cheng believes that as long as the procurement door of the Crown Hotel is opened, the vegetables produced in the 20 acres of vegetable fields in Baicao Space will no longer need him to set up stalls to sell.
After parking the car in the parking lot, Zeng Cheng carried a large bag of vegetables and walked into the lobby on the first floor of the Crown Hotel. Inside the convenience bag, except for the watermelon, there are some of the other vegetables, which is full of the convenience bag.
At the door of the hotel, the security guard politely stopped Zeng Cheng and asked, "Sir, it's not yet business hours, who are you looking for?"
"Find your manager, there is a business to be interviewed. Zeng Cheng has a calm face and a calm temperament, although he is only wearing the most ordinary clothes, but what he says has a peculiar charm that is convincing.
"Oh, okay, please go to the counter and ask, and they will tell you the location of the manager's office." "The security guard no longer censored and happily let him go. After all, their job is only security, and their business is not their responsibility.
After entering, the service inside was busy and a woman in her thirties wearing a dark professional suit was softly directing something, Zeng Cheng's eyes were sharp, and he recognized the nameplate on her chest: Li Xin, the lobby manager.
Zeng Cheng walked over and asked politely: "Hello, Manager Li, where is the person in charge of the purchasing department of the hotel, I have something to ask to see." ”
Li Xin glanced at Zeng Cheng a few times, this boy looked very tender, similar to a college student, but the man carrying a bag of vegetables, the vegetable farmer is not like a vegetable farmer, the student is not like a student, I don't know where he came from. She asked a little strangely, "Sir, do we know each other, how do you know my name?"
Zeng Cheng shook his head, pointed to the nameplate on her chest and said, "No, I know your name from this." ”
Li Xin was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Mr. is so careful." Well, the purchasing department is over there, the front counter is to the left, and the second office is, Manager Lei of the purchasing department has just arrived. ”
"Thank you!" Zeng Cheng smiled at her, nodded, and then turned to leave.
"No thanks, but if you ask Manager Lei to sell vegetables, it won't be easy. Good luck. Looking at Zeng Cheng's upright background, Li Xin reminded him with a ghostly gesture.
"Thank you for the reminder. Zeng Cheng looked back and smiled, his eyes full of confidence.
Following the direction pointed out by the lobby manager named Li Xin, Zeng Cheng found the office of the purchasing manager.
When he entered the door, Zeng Cheng saw a middle-aged man in his forties sitting in the office, with a cleanly shaved beard, sitting behind a desk and talking on the phone.
The middle-aged man saw Zeng Cheng coming in and pointed to a sofa position for him, meaning to ask him to wait.
Zeng Cheng waited for seven or eight minutes before the middle-aged man finished calling. He glanced at the vegetables in the convenient bag in Zeng Cheng's hand, and smiled disdainfully: "You are here to sell vegetables, right? I won't tell you the truth, there are not a hundred vegetable farmers who want to provide vegetables for our crown hotel, but eighty." In addition to the cheap price, the quality should also be first-class, and more importantly, the supply of goods is stable. Tell me, what vegetables can you offer us, and at what price?"
Zeng Cheng saw that he was domineering, and he didn't think he was angry, he had experience in his previous life, and he knew very well how difficult it was to enter the door of this kind of state-owned hotel. Don't underestimate this guy in front of you, he is also an official who enjoys the treatment of a deputy section.
Zeng Cheng said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "My name is Zeng Cheng, and I am a college student who just graduated from college this year and returned to my hometown to start a business. When I was in school, my classmates and I developed a planting technology with completely independent intellectual property rights, and the vegetables grown by this technology are pure and pollution-free, and the taste is super good. At present, it can provide nearly 20 kinds of vegetables. Price aside, you can take a look at our finished products first. ”
As he spoke, Zeng Cheng took out one of each of the various vegetables from the convenience bag and placed them on the desk. The huge vegetables stunned Manager Lei.
Manager Lei carefully looked at the luster of the vegetables on the table, and sniffed the taste, the fragrance was fragrant, and a mouth-watering aroma of herbs and trees filled the nostrils. He looked intoxicated, but said duplicitously: "Completely independent intellectual property rights, pure natural and pollution-free, impossible, such a big size, it can't be pure natural at first glance, but genetically modified products." As far as I know, the safety of genetically modified products is difficult to guarantee. ”
Zeng Cheng knew that the other party wanted to suppress the price, and said very calmly: "It is by no means genetically modified products, the reason why they are so big is entirely because of the planting technology." This planting technology is all-natural, green and pollution-free, without the use of a trace of pesticides, which can stand the test of any institution. As for the taste, you can taste it, taste it before you buy it, and it can be useful anywhere. ”
Manager Lei stared at the big tomatoes, smelling the tempting sweet and sour smell wafting from them, couldn't help but grunt, swallowed and foamed, and said: "Okay, I'll try your new varieties, I hope the appearance is the same, not like some imported vegetables, first-class in size, but the taste is the last stream." Well, it's the most convenient place to eat it raw. ”
Zeng Cheng made a gesture of casual tasting, and he spoke with facts, he had this confidence.
Manager Lei took a bite and was immediately conquered by the extreme taste of tomatoes, like everyone else, the first time he tasted it, his mouth couldn't leave the tomatoes, until he ate all the tomatoes weighing more than a catty.
"This tastes great! What is the price of these vegetables?" said Manager Lei, who had not fully recovered from the delicious tomatoes.
