Chapter 14: Trouble
After listening to Zhao Tai's tirade, Lu Yang rubbed his forehead with a wry smile.
"This Zhao Tai is more active than me...... Forget it, if he is willing to do it, let him do it well. Anyway, Zhu Guo is in my hands, and it is impossible for him to betray me. β
In the phone call just now, Zhao Tai analyzed the market in Sanshui City and opened another directly-operated store in Luyang. Although Lu Yang did not agree on the spot, he still agreed with him to inspect the site.
Shaking his head, Lu Yang put Zhao Tai's matter aside.
"Qiuqiu, show me my Tiandao credit card information."
"Ding!" A column of information appeared in front of Lu Yang's eyes.
User: Lu Yang (Earth Human)
Grade: Level 1
Amount: 200/1000 (Repayment deadline: August 25, 2007)
Credits: 11000
Marketplace: On
Message: Mission [Uncompleted] (Earth Environment Improvement!) Please plant more than 100 acres of trees in the soil erosion area within one year! Task reward: The quota will be restored to 100 points, depending on the result, the user will be mentally developed. οΌ
Number of draws: 0
Prior art: 3-level grafting technology, 2-level soil modification technology
"I owe 800 points, and I don't know how to pay it back. Even if the mission is completed, there are still 700 points left. By the way, first-level Tiandao credit card users also have to pay 20% interest. Doing the math, I have to pay back a total of 960 points. β
Lu Yang was very worried.
"Dear users, you don't have to worry, some of the tasks issued by Tiandao Credit Card can be completed in cycles, and all tasks are for the purpose of promoting human development and progress, as long as users do relevant things, Tiandao Credit Card will automatically generate relevant tasks and give corresponding rewards!"
Qiuqiu's words made Lu Yang think for a long time, he pondered repeatedly and grasped two key points.
The loop is complete!
Proactively generate tasks!
"Qiuqiu, do you mean that if I plant 100 acres of trees, I can get 100 points, and if I plant 1,000 acres of trees, I can get 1,000 points?" Lu Yang still wanted to confirm.
"Yes, the user understands it very correctly!"
"Great!" Lu Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief, he now owes 960 points, which means planting 960 acres of trees in two years, this task, with Lu Yang's financial resources, can still be done.
"Does this mean that I can earn points in the future?" Lu Yang said secretly.
Qiuqiu did not hesitate to shatter his dreams.
"As the conditions change, so do the rewards for the mission. Taking this task as an example, users can now plant 100 acres of trees and get 100 points. In the future, this reward will gradually decrease. β
I see.
Lu Yang was slightly disappointed.
At this moment, Lu Yang's phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Zhao Tai.
"This Zhao Tai, eighty percent want to come to show merit again." For Zhao Tai's drive, Lu Yang is sometimes helpless.
"Manager Zhao, what's the matter?"
Zhao Tai's voice on the phone was very urgent: "Boss, something happened here in Sanshui City......"
Lu Yang was excited: "Something happened? What's wrong? β
Zhao Tai's angry voice came from the opposite side: "Today, the general manager of Yunjie Supermarket came over and said that he wanted to cooperate with us." They wanted to buy Zhuguo from us at a price of 5 yuan each, but I refused. β
As soon as Lu Yang heard this, he immediately thought that this trouble must have come from Yunjie Supermarket.
Really!
"At that time, the general manager of Yunjie Supermarket also threatened me and told me to be careful. The next day, someone from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau came to inspect ......"
Lu Yang tried to calm his mood, this kind of thing was the first time he had encountered it.
"Just let them check, there is nothing wrong with our shop pΓΉ and products!"
Zhao Tai said: "It's more than that. After the industrial and commercial bureau left, the guy named Song Xin secretly asked people to take photos of the inspection and advertise that there was a problem in our store. I've heard that they also privately rumored that Zhu Guo is a genetically modified fruit and is harmful to the human body...... This statement spread very quickly, and the neighborhood near our two stores pΓΉ heard about it! β
"So despicable! So what about today's sales? β
Zhao Tai said loudly: "Before, our two directly-operated stores had a turnover of more than 200,000 yuan a day. However, since yesterday, sales have plummeted, and today it is less than 50,000. I'm worried that if this continues, the store will close in a few days! β
Lu Yang clenched his fists, slowly released them, and inhaled hard, he tried to keep his voice calm.
"I know about this matter, the matter over there in Sanshui City is stable first, but it really can't be done, the two stores will stop business first."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yang thought for a while, dialed Liu Jie, and told Liu Jie about the matter briefly.
When Liu Jie heard this, he was naturally very angry. However, he still persuaded Lu Yang to calm down.
"The Yunjie supermarket you mentioned, I also know that in Province F, it is the largest local supermarket. The person in charge of Yunjie Supermarket in Sanshui City is called Song Xin, this person is very methodical, and he has been in charge of Yunjie Supermarket in Sanshui City for only a few years, and he has crushed several large local supermarkets. Moreover, this person has a very bad reputation and does things without compromise. He is the head snake of Sanshui City, and we have no chance of winning against him there! β
Lu Yang nodded silently: "I won't be impulsive, now I'm worried about another problem, if the rumors that are unfavorable to Zhu Guo spread to Fenglin City, will it cause panic among customers!" β
Liu Jie said: "Don't worry about this, I have considered this problem before, and issued a certification report in the city research institute, which will not let people grasp the handle." β
"That's good." Lu Yang admired Liu Jie's foresight more and more, and at the same time understood the complexity of the Sanshui City incident.
Ending the conversation with Liu Jie, Lu Yang rubbed his eyebrows, he suddenly felt that doing things was far more complicated than he imagined.
However, Lu Yang was not discouraged by this, but his fighting spirit slowly rose.
Being able to encounter such trouble also shows from another side that his products have been quite successful.
In the next few days, Zhao Tai would report on the situation of the directly operated store every day. Unsurprisingly, sales at directly managed stores plummeted. Except for a very small number of customers who don't believe those rumors, the vast majority of customers are waiting to see what they are. Zhao Tai also tried other ways to prove that Zhu Guo was fine, including the media and scientific research institutions, but failed.
In the end, Lu Yang could only give an order to temporarily withdraw from Sanshui City.
"Song Xin is indeed very powerful, and he has a lot of power in Sanshui City, but I don't believe that in other cities, he can also do this!"
Lu Yang maintained a sober attitude. For him at this time, the loss of the Sanshui market will reduce his income by 60%, but Lu Yang is not in a hurry. He began to improve the preservation and transportation system of Zhu Guo, and at the same time sent Zhao Tai to Fuhai City to begin inspecting the storefront.
This time, he learned the lesson of Sanshui City and got the certificate report of the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences before Zhu Guo went on the market.
After the setback of Sanshui City, Zhao Tai was a little depressed, but when he heard that Lu Yang asked him to be in charge of the market in Fuhai City, Zhao Tai's spirits immediately lifted up. Fuhai City is not comparable to Sanshui City, and it is initially estimated that if Zhu Guo opens the market in Fuhai City, the daily sales can reach more than 300,000 yuan.
In this way, Zhu Guo's listing plan in Fuhai City began to be carried out in an intense and orderly manner.
Soon, Dayan Village entered the winter, and the growth rate of Zhu Guo slowed down, and some fruit seedlings even stopped bearing fruit, which made Lu Yang vigilant.
"It seems that Zhuguo is still seasonal, if it weren't for the tropical climate here, I'm afraid Zhuguo would have been discontinued."
Although Lu Yang has level 3 grafting technology, this does not mean that he understands all the characteristics of Zhu Guo. It has only been a few months since he cultivated Zhu Guo, and after observation and recording, Lu Yang's understanding of Zhu Guo is gradually deepening.
In order to ensure the normal growth of Zhu Guo, Lu Yang began to organize people to build greenhouses.
Similarly, due to the reduction of Zhu Guo's production, Zhu Guo's Fuhai City listing plan has slowed down, according to the current production capacity, Luyang's 30 acres of land can produce about 20,000 Zhu Guo per day, in addition to leaving 10,000 for Fenglin City, there is a margin of 10,000. I am afraid that this kind of production will not be able to meet the needs of Fuhai City.
Zhao Tai had no choice but to abandon the large-scale listing plan and open a direct store in Fuhai City to start promotion.
And so 2005 passed.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, Lu Yang refused Elder Ge's invitation and was alone at home, looking at the fireworks outside, his heart was very complicated. It has been three years since he went out from home, and in the past three years, he has never returned home, and he spends the Spring Festival by himself every year.
At this time in previous years, Lu Yang's heart was always very cold, alone in a foreign land as a stranger, and the future was boundless, this kind of situation would make anyone feel infinitely lonely. But today is different, because Lu Yang has hope in his heart, and the road to the future is slowly being lit up.
"Encounters in the world are always very bizarre, who would have thought that there would be such a thing as a Tiandao credit card?" Lu Yang poured himself a glass of wine, looked at the stars in the sky, and his thoughts also flew. At this moment, he forgot his identity, imagined wildly, and slowly, he fell asleep on the sofa......
Dayan Village during the Spring Festival is very lively, and adults and children visit each other's New Year's greetings, which is festive.
Lu Yang didn't like this atmosphere very much, and it seemed that he couldn't fit in, so he went to the field alone and began to try to graft other fruit seeds. He still has twenty acres of land in his hands that is empty. The twenty acres were reserved for him to grow other fruits.
