Chapter 81: A good start
Li Yuan didn't care about Liu Yuebing's tone, but still said with a smile: "Brother Liu, I only notify those who need to increase the price." We are our own people, and I didn't plan to raise the price for you in the first place, so naturally I won't tell you about it. ”
After listening to Li Yuan's words, Liu Yuebing's tone also eased a lot, and he sighed lightly and said: "Xiao Li, I also know that you didn't raise the price for me and Cai Fatzi out of good intentions, and we understand your kindness, but ...... It's really unacceptable. ”
Li Yuan also became serious, and said to Liu Yuebing sincerely: "Brother Liu, I can say that you brought it into the catering circle, although the business has improved a little now, I have never forgotten your love for helping me at the beginning." So I'll raise the price for anyone else, but with you and Brother Cai, the price won't change. ”
"Xiao Li, if you are still willing to call me Brother Liu, then listen to me in this matter." Liu Yuebing said without concessions: "I have already discussed with Cai Fatzi, what price you give to others, it is the same for us, don't make a special difference in this point." ”
"But ......"
Li Yuan wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Liu Yuebing: "Let's tell you the truth, Cai Fatzi and I are not hotel owners, and it has nothing to do with us how high the purchase price is." In fact, you agreed to supply us in unlimited quantities, which is already a great favor, and if you take special care of us, we will really be very upset, in which case we would rather not eat your vegetables. ”
Since Liu Yuebing has talked about this, Li Yuan can't continue to insist, and after a moment of silence, he nodded and said, "Okay, Brother Liu, I'll listen to you." ”
"That's right!" Liu Yuebing on the other end of the phone was also happy, but soon said to Li Yuan in a deep voice: "But I know that there are a few peers who complain about your price increase, do you know?" ”
Li Yuan nodded and said, "I know, they also complained in front of me." ”
Liu Yuebing asked with interest: "Then what are you going to do?" ”
"Of course, it's a unified price increase, and if it can't be accepted, it won't be supplied." Li Yuan said confidently: "In order to build a vegetable base, I invested all my belongings in it, so I have to return to my roots, right?" And the price I offered is not very outrageous, and everyone still makes a lot of money. I don't necessarily have to let other people eat meat, I'll drink the soup myself, right? ”
Li Yuan's attitude made Liu Yuebing feel at ease, and he couldn't help laughing and said: "I'm relieved if you think so, I'm afraid that you won't be able to withstand the pressure and will agree to give those who complain a low price." If that's the case, it will be difficult for you to do this business in the future! ”
Knowing that Liu Yuebing was thinking about himself, Li Yuan couldn't help but say gratefully: "Brother Liu, thank you for the reminder, I know it in my heart." ”
"Well, that's fine." Liu Yuebing nodded with satisfaction, and after chatting with Li Yuan for a while, he hung up the phone.
Within two days of Li Yuan confirming the customer list and the new price, the first batch of green leafy vegetables was finally ready to go on the market. Although Li Yuan had already told Chen Wenchuan that the vegetables in the vegetable base had already been booked by customers, the old village chief was still a little worried about him on this day.
On the day of harvesting vegetables, Chen Wenchuan came to the edge of the field early and watched the workers harvest vegetables from the field one by one, neatly stacked in the plastic baskets prepared in advance.
After watering with water that has dissolved the gold beads, all the vegetables grow green and verdant, as if each one was carved from different shades of jadeite, which is like a perfect work of art.
And when so many vegetables are neatly stacked together, it's simply fascinating and mysterious. It was as if the plastic basket was not filled with vegetables, but a basket of fine jadeite that had just been washed with water.
The workers in the vegetable base are all old farmers who have grown vegetables all year round, and they don't know how many times they have done such things as harvesting vegetables, but they are also moved by the situation in front of them. These old peasants are simple people, and they can't say any flowery words to describe the scene in front of them, but they just say vigorously: "Beautiful, the vegetables we grow are so beautiful!" ”
"These vegetables really don't have anything to say, they are really beautiful!" Chen Wenchuan also agreed with everyone's opinion very much, but then he couldn't help but ask Li Yuan next to him: "Xiao Li, can you really sell out the vegetables that harvest two acres of land in one go?" The weather is still hot right now, and if this leafy green vegetable is left for two more days, it will not be very fresh. ”
Knowing that Chen Wenchuan was still worried about sales, Li Yuan gave him a comforting smile and said, "Don't worry, I promise to sell all the vegetables I collected today!" ”
"Can you sell it today?" Although Li Yuan was full of confidence, Chen Wenchuan still shook his head and said: "The output of these two acres of land is more than 2,000 catties, can it really be sold?" ”
In Chen's view, it is really difficult to sell more than 2,000 catties of vegetables in a day, because he does not know how popular these vegetables are today.
For Li Yuan, who has identified nearly 100 customers, more than 2,000 catties of vegetables is equivalent to an average of more than 200 catties of vegetables for each customer. For many hotels and restaurants, such a small amount of vegetables is simply too little. In fact, if Li Yuan wants to fully meet the needs of all customers, it is enough to harvest at least five acres of vegetables at a time.
Knowing that no matter what he said, it would be difficult to completely put Chen Wenchuan at ease, Li Yuan decided to let the facts convince him, so he said with a smile: "Village Chief Chen, you can wait and see with peace of mind, and you won't worry about it when the time comes!" ”
Li Yuan did not write a blank check to Chen Wenchuan, and just after 8 o'clock in the morning, a small truck drove into the vegetable base -- the first customer who came to buy vegetables arrived.
This customer is a four-star hotel in Wuxi City, and it is also a new customer of Li Yuan's development this time. Because it was the first time to come to the vegetable base to load goods, even the hotel's chef and purchasing manager came with the car.
Accompanied by Li Yuan, the two inspected the freshly harvested vegetables on the spot and were very satisfied. In particular, when the chef saw these vegetables, both eyes were already glowing green, as if the old man had seen a beautiful girl who had seen a silk-no-hanging.
The happy chef even carried a few baskets of vegetables into the car with his own hands, and the purchasing manager paid on the spot, and after saying goodbye to Li Yuan, he left happily.
With the arrival of the first customer, the vegetable base soon became lively. Large and small cars drove one after another, and the people who got out of the cars were all happy, weighing and paying according to the amount agreed with Li Yuan in advance, and then couldn't wait to leave with the vegetables.
From 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., Li Yuan, Chen Wenchuan and others almost didn't take a break, and they kept receiving customers who kept coming to load dishes. And after a few hours of busyness, the mountains of vegetables that had been piled up were almost sold out, and only the last dozen baskets were still aside. The vegetable base sold vegetables to the outside world for the first time, and it made a good start without any suspense!
