Chapter 33 The local tyrant treats him
After inquiring about Zhong Huan's place to sell peaches, Zhou Hongda was suspicious. Dropping the phone, he drove out in his Audi SUV. Old man Zhou was very interested today, and when he saw his son going to pick up Zhong Huan, he personally prepared a meal at home, wanting to treat this honest peach seller. Of course, his main purpose is to grab Zhong Huan's stomach, so that the cooperation between the two sides will be smoother.
Zhong Huan didn't care when he learned that Zhou Hongda was coming to buy peaches. He was very confident in the fruits and vegetables produced by the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu, and it was reasonable that he would have repeat customers. Anyway, it's the same for anyone to sell to, Zhong Huan won't pick customers, as long as Zhou Hongda, the big boss, is not too far away.
"Zhong Huan, it's too messy for you to find this place. I can't even drive in the car. Come with me, I'll treat you to dinner. ”
Zhou Hongda complained as soon as he saw Zhong Huan, and kept fanning his hand, and the sweat soaked the silk shirt. The street was full of vendors on both sides, and the road was full of pedestrians buying things, and it was difficult for the car to drive in, and his SUV couldn't squeeze in at all, so he had to park his car at the corner of the street and walk all the way.
"Boss Zhou, aren't you going to buy peaches? What kind of food are you eating? Zhong Huan was stunned when he heard this, Zhou Hongda didn't say anything about eating on the phone just now.
"Peaches have to be bought, and rice has to be eaten. You can close the stall, I will cover all these peaches. Hey? Why do you still sell plums? This plum is big enough. I'll taste it. ”
After Zhou Hongda finished speaking, he found that Zhong Huan had a bunch of plums in addition to a dozen peaches in his car, and there was not much left. When he saw a fruit bowl on the brand-new electric tricycle, he picked up a toothpick and inserted a small piece of plum into his mouth and tasted it.
As soon as the flesh was eaten, the unique fruity aroma of plum filled Zhou Hongda's mouth. The combination of the sweet flesh and a thin layer of sweet and sour peel creates an appetizing sweet and sour taste that makes you want to take another bite.
"Delicious! I want all this plum too. Pack up and come with me, and I'll take you to dinner." ”
Zhou Hongda's eyes lit up after eating the plums. This Zhong Huan is not simple! It's already rare to be able to breed a delicious longevity peach, but I didn't expect that the plums he sold were also the only ones on the market, which was amazing, maybe he had more good things to sell. With this thought, Zhou Hongda couldn't let go of Zhong Huan, he also admired his father's old and spicy vision, otherwise Jiang was still old and spicy.
"Boss Zhou, you wait a while. It's no problem for you to wrap up this stuff, just forget about eating. I'll go home and eat it later, and you don't have to break the bank. ”
There is a way that is useless, Zhong Huan can't understand why Zhou Hongda wants to invite guests, and he doesn't dare to go to this dinner easily. In case Hongda is to inquire about the origin of his peach, it will be troublesome.
"We don't eat out, we just come to my house for a light meal, what's the cost? I bought your peaches back that day, and the whole family said they were delicious. The old man at home said that your peaches have caught up with the tribute of the year, and he wants to meet you. Don't be polite to me, just make the old man happy. Besides, I also want to talk to you to see if we have any opportunities for long-term cooperation. ”
Zhou Hongda has also become a fine character. He saw that Zhong Huan was wary of him, so he simply moved Old Man Zhou out to play the emotional card, and the matter of cooperation was put later.
Zhong Huan has also experienced in society, so he naturally heard that cooperation is the key. He remembered that Zhou Hongda was engaged in catering, and if Zhou Hongda was just buying from himself, there was nothing to talk about. It is easier to supply the hotel than to set up a stall with Peng Lei every day.
"You weigh me how many peaches and plums there are, and I'll settle the account for you first."
Zhou Hongda saw that Zhong Huan seemed to be a little hesitant, so he made a killer move, took out a stack of 100 yuan bills from his handbag, and knew that it was 10,000 yuan when he looked at the brand new seal. This trick is called wealth and silk, and the subtext is: "I am not bad for money, and our cooperation will not let you suffer." Zhou Hongda showed the four words of wealth and wealth to the fullest, and he was not afraid that Zhong Huan would not be moved.
"Peaches and plums are counted as sixty-four catties, and if you want to wrap them all, they will be counted as sixty catties, and you will be charged one thousand and five."
Zhong Huan is now also a person who earns 10,000 yuan a day, but he will not be stopped by 10,000 yuan, so naturally he didn't understand Zhou Hongda's subtext, and directly finished weighing the fruit and said.
"Rejoice! I love doing business with you. You see, my car didn't drive over, and I couldn't lift so much fruit, so you can help me get it to the parking lot. ”
Zhou Hongda ordered some money and handed it to Zhong Huan, only to find that he had shown it to the blind man. So he decided to take it step by step and pull Zhong Huan to the side of the car first.
"Good! Where did you park your car? Zhong Huan's cart of fruit was also sold out, of course he didn't mind sending it to Zhou Hongda.
"Come with me!"
After Zhou Hongda finished speaking, he led the way in front. Zhong Huan directly pushed up the electric tricycle and followed behind. The customers who still wanted to buy fruit around them regretted that they didn't make a move sooner when they saw that someone had wrapped up the round.
Zhong Huan followed Zhou Hongda to the corner of the street and saw the Audi SUV parked on the side of the road. Although this car is not a top-level luxury car, it is worth hundreds of thousands. It may not be conspicuous in the city, but it is definitely a good car in this urban-rural area, and few cars on the street can compare to this car, which makes Zhong Huan feel envious.
"Boss Zhou, this car is good!" Zhong Huan couldn't help but praise while loading fruit into the trunk.
"It's okay. I like that it has a large space, a lot of people to sit, and occasionally it can be used to pull goods or something. You see, didn't you use it today? ”
Zhou Hongda also helped Zhong Huan load fruits into the car together, and with his financial resources, he could actually sell better cars. It's just that he is low-key and values the practicality of the car, so he didn't change to a more expensive car.
"It turns out that these fruits are not eaten by Boss Zhou himself, but they are coming to me to buy them. Is that what you just meant by long-term cooperation? ”
Zhong Huan asked tentatively. If Zhou Hongda just wants to buy from himself, instead of getting to the bottom of it, then he can cooperate, and Zhong Huan also likes a bold big customer like Zhou Hongda.
"Pretty much. It's just that there are some details, you get in the car first, and we can eat and talk at noon, okay? Zhou Hongda asked after loading the last bag of fruit into the car.
"Alright! Then bother Boss Zhou. I called home and said goodbye, and I didn't go home for dinner. ”
After Zhong Huan finished speaking, he stepped aside and dialed Peng Lei's phone to tell him where he was going. On the one hand, he was afraid that Peng Lei would not be able to find himself when he came back from Xiaohe Village, and on the other hand, he was also showing Zhou Hongda. In case Hongda didn't have a good heart, he wouldn't dare to act rashly when he heard this call, because once Zhong Huan had an accident, someone would definitely suspect him.
After hanging up the phone, Zhong Huan locked the tricycle, got into Zhou Hongda's Audi, and the car sped all the way to the eastern district of the city. If the southern district of Donghai City is a residential area with a concentration of residential areas, then the eastern district of the city is a rich area with villa areas. Just looking at the housing prices, the east of the city is more than twice as high as the south of the city.
In the southern part of the city, developers are building a community with at least 10 percent affordable housing. In the eastern district of the city, at least 10% of the single-family villas should be built. This shows how big the gap between the rich and the poor is in the two urban areas.
Zhou Hongda's Audi stopped in front of a villa in the Lijing Garden community and honked his horn twice. Zhong Huan saw a middle-aged woman wearing an apron come out of the villa, trotted all the way to the gate of the courtyard and opened the gate.
"This is Aunt Wang, our nanny." Zhou Hongda introduced Zhong Huan, and then poked his head out of the car window and said to Aunt Wang: "Aunt Wang, what is in the car is the guest that my father wants to entertain, you accompany him into the house, and I will go to the garage to park." ”
"Got it, Mr. Zhou." After Aunt Wang agreed, she opened the car door and smiled at Zhong Huan: "It's Mr. Zhong, right?" Mr. Zhou has been waiting for you at home for a long time. ”
"Aunt Wang, just call me Zhong Huan."
This is the first time Zhong Huan has been called Mr. so respectfully, and it is also the first time he has encountered this kind of scene, and he suddenly felt a little at a loss, and he didn't know what to say after getting out of the car.
"Mr. Zhong, please come in! Don't be too restrictive, just be casual. Mr. Zhou is very kind. ”
Aunt Wang smiled and did not change her address to Zhong Huan. Zhong Huan can be a casual guest, but she, a professional nanny, can't be sloppy.
Zhong Huan regretted going home with Zhou Hongda at this time, and this meal might as well be eaten outside. Look down at your outfit, T-shirt, cropped pants, sandals, not a single brand. It seems a bit rude to be a guest in someone's house in this dress. Zhong Huan really didn't expect Zhou Hongda's family to be so rich before. Now it's too late to change clothes, Zhong Huan can only walk to the yard with Aunt Wang, and he is a little embarrassed not to say inferiority. It's like going to a prom and everyone else is wearing a tuxedo and you're shirtless.
Stepping into the gate of the villa, the scene in the courtyard surprised the nervous Zhong Huan. I saw that the front yard of the villa was not a manicured lawn, but was divided into left and right parts by the stone path leading to the gate. On the left half of the ground, there are all kinds of flowers and plants, and there is a wooden pavilion for people to rest in the middle of the flowers, showing the elegance of the villa owner. What is surprising is that a vegetable field has been reclaimed on the ground on the right side of the road, and cucumbers and radishes are planted in the field, which is just like the small vegetable garden of Peng Lei's family.
"The old gentleman usually doesn't have any other hobbies, just likes to play with flowers and plants. I always want to plant whatever flowers I want, and the name is not precious. Mr. Zhong doesn't look at the beautiful flowers in the garden, but the old man prefers the cauliflower in the vegetable garden. ”
Aunt Wang was used to the surprised eyes of the guests when she saw the vegetable garden, so she didn't have to guess to know Zhong Huan's thoughts, so she explained on the side.
