In the face of the influx of order calls, Li Yuan's hunger marketing strategy has finally paid off – he can bring more vegetables to new customers and open up a larger market.

However, now Li Yuan's vegetables have a good reputation, and they have been in short supply, so he will not choose customers casually, but is ready to give priority to those large-scale and high-grade hotels and restaurants.

For this reason, Li Yuan wrote down the names of all the restaurants and restaurants that contacted him, and then used various methods to understand each other's situation one by one.

The first thing that does not consider the supply is those small restaurants and restaurants. After all, Li Yuan plans to take the high-end route in the future, and if he cooperates with this kind of small hotel, it will undoubtedly be equivalent to cutting off his own way of development, and the gains will definitely outweigh the losses.

After excluding small restaurants, Li Yuan removed those restaurants that are not small in scale, but have a bad reputation, especially those where customers complain about the level of chefs, from the list of potential customers.

Although Li Yuan's vegetables are good in appearance and taste, they can't withstand the toss of those chefs who are too poor. If the chef is not at a good level, it is useless to give them the best ingredients, and the resulting food will still be the same as pig food.

And the customers don't care so much, if they come for Li Yuan's vegetables, but eat a dish that was spoiled by the chef, they will definitely subconsciously think that Li Yuan's vegetables are like this. This is tantamount to smashing Li Yuan's signboard, of course he will never allow such a situation to occur.

However, there are too many customers who call to ask for supplies, and even if these customers who do not meet Li Yuan's requirements have been eliminated, there are still nearly 100 remaining customers.

These hotels and restaurants have similar characteristics, that is, they are large in scale and have a good reputation, many of them are quite famous in the local area, and there are even several Chinese and Western restaurants in five-star hotels, all of which have put forward requirements for Li Yuan to purchase goods.

In the face of so many candidate customers, Li Yuan is really a little embarrassed. After all, the current vegetable base is only planted with 30 acres of vegetable land, and it is impossible to meet so many new customers if it has to supply the old customers before.

Li Yuan, who was helpless, could only conduct the third round of screening, and crossed out dozens of names from the list of potential customers, and finally finalized the list of the second batch of customers.

Then Li Yuan called from house to house and told them that he had decided to supply them. Of course, except for Xinghualou and Heyue Catering Group, Li Yuan has implemented limited supply for other customers. The amount of vegetables he promised to serve was often only half of what the other party requested.

Because of this, those customers who received Li Yuan's call and learned that he would supply to them were also both happy and worried. The joy is that even the gourmand Huang Danyang highly recommends the vegetables that can be launched, but the worry is that the supply promised by Li Yuan is too small, which can not meet the needs of diners at all.

However, at present, Li Yuan is the only one on the market who supplies such high-quality vegetables, so it is a complete seller's market. Even if these few new customers are dissatisfied, there is nothing they can do about it.

In fact, most of the customers are very happy after receiving Li Yuan's supply commitment. Because it means that they can also launch a series of vegetarian dishes that are favored by Huang Danyang, which will definitely take their business to the next level.

And being selected by Li Yuan to supply vegetables also shows that these customers are strong, at least in the industry, they are the top existence, which is a very face-saving thing in itself.

In fact, not long after Li Yuan confirmed the list of new customers and notified the other party, the boss of the catering industry added a greeting when he met. That is, they often ask each other if the other party has a customer called Li Yuan and is qualified to buy vegetables from him.

If one of them is Li Yuan's client and the other party is not, this one will inevitably show a reserved and proud look, while the other party will look ashamed and secretly feel inferior.

Even Li Yuan didn't expect that being able to call himself a customer would actually become a matter of great hotel restaurant owners and chefs. A small vegetable supplier can have such a big face, and it is definitely unprecedented.

However, Li Yuan's attention is not here at the moment, in addition to determining the list of new customers, he has another more important thing to deal with - announcing the price increase.

Just like what Li Yuan said to Chen Wenchuan before, all the vegetables grown in the vegetable base are organic vegetables. Nowadays, people are more and more concerned about health, and the price of vegetables can increase several times immediately as long as the word "organic" is named.

And Li Yuan can assure anyone that the vegetables in the vegetable base fully meet the standards of organic vegetables. Coupled with the fact that all the vegetables are good in appearance and taste, the original price was a bit low.

So while notifying the new customer, Li Yuan also made a new offer to the other party. At present, the price range of green leafy vegetables is between 15 and 20 yuan per catty according to different varieties. Vegetables such as tomatoes, cucumbers, and green beans are naturally more expensive, starting at 25 yuan per catty, which also varies according to different varieties, and the most expensive organic bell pepper is as high as 45 yuan per catty.

Don't be too expensive at this price, it's all available in limited quantities. Even if the customer is willing to pay more, Li Yuan will not sell a little more to them. After all, all vegetables are in short supply now, and Li Yuan wants to use the limited supply to develop as many customers as possible.

Because Li Yuan's vegetables have a good reputation, people who have tasted them are impressed by their beautiful appearance and wonderful taste, so although this offer is a little high, those new customers also agreed without thinking about it.

The difference with the new customers is that when Li Yuan notified those old customers of the news of the price increase, several customers had a lot of complaints. After all, his previous price was only five or six yuan per catty, but now it has to rise more than three times, and these people feel that it is unacceptable.

In fact, the reason why Li Yuan set this price was also carefully considered. After receiving Huang Danyang's strong recommendation, the value of the vegetables he grew also skyrocketed. If you order a plate of such vegetables in a restaurant, the lowest price is nearly 100 yuan, and the supply exceeds demand every day.

And such a plate of stir-fried vegetables only needs three or four taels of vegetables at most. So even according to the price offered by Li Yuanxin, these hotels are also very profitable. Not to mention the traffic brought to the store because of these vegetables, so the benefits created are incalculable. The reason why these restaurants complained about Li Yuan's price increase was completely out of greed.

Now Li Yuan's vegetables are the emperor's daughter, and he is not worried about marrying, and he is not interested in serving such greedy customers. Tell the other party directly that they will either accept the price increase or cut off the supply, and there is no third way. Anyway, Li Yuan and the old customers only have a verbal agreement, and there is no breach of contract at all.

The day after Li Yuan notified the old customers of the price increase, he received a call from Liu Yuebing. Liu Yuebing, who has always been happy, seemed to be a little unhappy, and asked Li Yuan as soon as he opened his mouth: "Why didn't you tell me about the increase in vegetable prices?" ”
