XV. Re-entering the Provincial Capital (2)
Jiang Tao walked out of the station, and happened to see a Donghai Hotel on the side of the road. Jiang Tao pushed the door and walked in.
"Hello, how many people may I have?" A waiter hurried over to receive him.
Jiang Tao scratched his head embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I'm not here to eat, I'm looking for your boss." ”
"Oh, may I ask if I need help, I'm the lobby manager." A very capable young man walked over.
"I'd like to ask if your hotel wants this kind of mountain fungus." Jiang Tao hurriedly took out the chicken leg mushrooms in the bag.
"What is this? It's so ugly, can you eat it? Several waiters gathered around and said.
"I'm sorry, we are a high-end hotel and do not accept agricultural and sideline products." The lobby manager saw that Jiang Tao was selling goods, and his attitude was much colder.
"Can you please ask?" Jiang Tao didn't give up at all.
"I'm sorry, our boss isn't in the store, I'll ask you when I get back, right?" The lobby manager was clearly on the move.
Jiang Tao was disappointed and wanted to put the chicken leg mushrooms in his bag, and he wanted to go to other hotels to have a look.
"Wait, lad." At this time, two people came down from the second floor, and one of the old men called out to Jiang Tao.
Jiang Tao heard the sound and looked over, and saw that the old man was in his sixties, in good spirits, accompanied by a tall beautiful young woman, in her early thirties, with her hair pulled high behind her head, revealing a slender, white neck, with a white gold necklace around her neck, shaking the white light as she walked, wearing a purple cheongsam, and the young woman's waist was graceful and graceful, convex and backward.
"Manager, this gentleman is here to promote agricultural and sideline products." The lobby manager ran over to the young woman and said.
"No matter what you're here for, you're always a guest when you enter the door, why don't you invite this gentleman to sit down and talk?" The young woman criticized the lobby manager.
"Sir, please sit down, I'll make you tea." The lobby manager looked at the color very much and hurriedly went to serve tea.
"Show me, young man, what you've got in your hands." The old man said to Jiang Tao.
Jiang Tao hurriedly handed the chicken leg mushroom to the old man, "Young man, is this a dried chicken leg mushroom?" The old man took it under his nose and sniffed it.
"Yes, uncle, do you know?" Jiang Tao was very surprised.
"Hehe, don't blame these waiters for not knowing the goods, they really haven't seen dried chicken leg mushrooms, and they don't necessarily know the fresh, this kind of thing only grows on the cliffs of the mountains, not something that ordinary people can eat and see." Apparently the old man was a connoisseur.
"Dad, this is what you often call chicken leg mushrooms? It's ugly, hehe." The young woman said to the old man.
"You kid, this is a delicacy in the world, people in the mountains don't take it as a good thing, but in our city, you may not be able to buy it if you have money, I also ate it once in Zhangning last year, and that taste is fresher than the taste of seafood." The old man criticized his daughter for not knowing the goods.
"Young man, did you pick it yourself? I know that this fungus can be left for a day at most, and after a while, it will be muddy and inedible, so your method is very good, it can increase the storage time. ”
"Uncle, I picked it myself." Jiang Tao began to blush as soon as he told a lie, but fortunately, the old man and the young woman didn't care.
"Yanran, I see that you should quickly take all the young man's goods, and you can add a delicious soup dish to your store in the future. I promise you'll keep coming back in the future. The old man said to his daughter.
"How many goods do you have? How to sell? Yanran said to Jiang Tao.
"I just brought some samples today, and if you want, I can send them later." Jiang Tao was very happy to see that things had taken a turn for the better. "The price, you can look at it." Jiang Tao didn't know how much money was appropriate.
"Hehe, it's the first time I've seen you do business, Dad, how much do you think it's appropriate?" Yanran turned back to her father and asked.
"If it's fresh, the price can't be less than 100 yuan a catty, and the minimum cost is 300 yuan a catty." The old man's words startled Jiang Tao. "This kind of thing is difficult to pick, it can't be mass-produced, and it's rare and expensive."
"Okay, lad, how many do you have? I'm going to do it all. Come to the office with me, let's talk in detail and sign a supply contract. The old man looked at his daughter appreciatively, he admired his daughter very much in business, and if he could sign the contract, he would ensure the exclusive operation in the provincial capital.
When she arrived at the office on the second floor, Yanran beckoned Jiang Tao to sit down, poured tea for her father and Jiang Tao, and then sat down on the boss's chair.
"Let's get acquainted first. My name is Ji Yanran, this is my father Ji Zhongxia, a professor at the Provincial Agricultural University, your surname, young man? Ji Yanran asked Jiang Tao.
"Manager Ji, Professor Ji, my name is Jiang Tao, I am a teacher from Zhangning Xinzhai Middle School, and I was just assigned this year." Jiang Tao hurriedly introduced himself.
"Oh, did you pick these chicken leg mushrooms in your spare time?" Professor Ji asked.
"I'm sorry, Professor Ji, I told a lie just now, these bacteria were collected by my family." Jiang Yingying should be regarded as her own family.
"Hehe, you're honest, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter who picks it, the important thing is that you can guarantee the supply?" Ji Zhongxia knew that this fungus was difficult to collect.
"To be honest, I don't have a bottom, I want to ask my family to buy it from the villagers in the mountains, I will dry it, and then supply it to you." Jiang Tao said matter-of-factly.
"You're a teacher, how do you start a business? What about students? It seems that Ji Zhongxia is very dissatisfied with Jiang Tao's half-heartedness.
"Professor Ji, I like the work of teaching and educating people, I use the weekend to go to the city to have a look, if it's okay, I call my girlfriend to do it, she is from the countryside and has time." Jiang Tao had no choice but to move Jiang Yingying out.
"Oh, that's it, it's better not to mislead people's children, Yanran, you talk, I'll read the newspaper."
Soon, Ji Yanran and Jiang Tao finalized the content of the contract, and the contract stipulated that Jiang Tao's chicken leg mushrooms could only be sold to the Donghai Hotel, and the price was set at 300 yuan per catty for dry goods and 100 yuan per catty for fresh goods. In the future, when the volume is large, the Donghai Hotel will be responsible for the sales of chicken leg mushrooms in the provincial capital. If Jiang Tao defaults, he will pay a huge amount of compensation. Although Jiang Tao felt that the contract was not very fair to him, in this way, he saved a lot of trouble, so he signed a contract with Ji Yanran happily. Jiang Tao left the phone number of Jiang Yingying's home to Ji Yanran, and asked for Ji Yanran's mobile phone number for future contact.
Bidding farewell to Ji Zhongxia's father and daughter, with the three hundred yuan he had just sold, Jiang Tao felt that the sky was high, and he knew that if he could run a few times, his mother's surgery fee would be settled.
When Jiang Tao asked about how much the operation fee would be, the expert said that if it is not serious, about 10,000 yuan is enough, but it will cost a lot of money for rehabilitation training, and it is difficult to say that the cost is not good.
After leaving the hospital, Jiang Tao went to the department store and bought some chocolates for his mother and Yingying.
When Jiang Tao took the last train back to Zhangning and rode a bicycle to his home, it was already midnight, Jiang Tao didn't talk too much to his father, he said something under the window, washed in front of the water urn, and went back to his house to sleep, he felt tired, that is, excited and tired, in the dream he saw his mother stand up and be able to walk, Jiang Tao smiled, smiled very sweetly.
