Chapter 9 The Difficulty of Doing Business (Asking for Support)

Counting the time, Yang Zhou studied at Qingbei University as an undergraduate, studied for 4 years, and stayed at Qingbei University for 8 years, during which he also met countless classmates and teachers.

There's always someone who can relate to the cafeteria.

After rummaging on WeChat for a while, Yang Zhou found a classmate who might know the situation.

This person's name is Deng Yun, his grandfather is a school leader, Yang Zhou was also a student union cadre back then, and he is relatively familiar with Deng Yun, and he has eaten together a few times.

For example, in top universities, the circle of classmates is extremely important, and everyone basically maintains a good relationship with their classmates.

Because after graduating from college, many people will have a better future, and these people will be their own connections in the future.

At the beginning, Deng Yun didn't know that Yang Zhou would stay in school for four years for graduate school, and he may not have been in touch for a long time.

After receiving Yang Zhou's call, Deng Yun was still very enthusiastic, because the graduate students of Qingbei University would also have a great future in the future, and Deng Yun would not be embarrassed because Yang Zhou had not left the school.

"Senior brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, you rarely call me, are you going to have a dinner treat?" Deng Yun said with a smile.

Yang Zhou didn't know what Deng Yun was doing now, and he couldn't see the dynamics in the circle of friends, if he didn't know that Deng Yun had a cheerful personality, he would have thought that he was a deleted friend.

Naturally, it is impossible to find someone to help at the beginning, Yang Zhou and Deng Yun exchanged pleasantries for a while.

The two sides exchanged information with each other, Yang Zhou naturally didn't have many good results, Deng Yun is now developed, he will take the civil service exam after graduation, he graduated from Qingbei University, and he still has a relationship in his family, and now he has become a village official!

Now that the cadres are younger, many people who have graduated from universities have gone down to the grassroots level, starting from the bottom, and the future is also promising.

Deng Yun has a hard relationship, and now he is in the countryside below the county near the capital, and his place of work is in XH County, about half an hour's drive from the capital, and he is still the village head.

"Senior brother, do you want to come to my place for a tour, there are a lot of farmhouses here, and many people in Beijing come here to fish and eat farmhouse food on weekends." Deng Yun said with a smile.

Yang Zhou wanted to have fun, but his body didn't allow it, so he had to shirk next time.

"By the way, Lao Deng, I really want to ask you about something this time, you were known as Bai Xiaosheng in Qingbei back then, you can talk about anything, you have to help me this time." Yang Zhou said with a smile.

"Okay, you said you could help." Deng Yun replied.

"I have a friend who is in the vegetable business and wants to see if he can supply our school canteen, do you have a relationship with the school canteen?" Yang Zhou asked directly.

Deng Yun shook his head and smiled when he heard this, and did not hide it and explained: "Hey, you really asked the right person, but don't think about it, there are people behind the canteen, and the logistics is Principal Chen's people, and your friends can't get involved in the procurement business, I thought about doing this at the beginning." ”

It was a matter of making money, Yang Zhou hurriedly asked in detail.

"When I first came to Qiankou Village in Xianhe County, I also had some ambitions, thinking about how to lead farmers to make a fortune, this Qiankou Village is a plain area, and there is no tourism industry to develop, and finally I set my sights on the sales of agricultural products."

"The farmers planted a lot of agricultural products, and I wondered if there was no one at home who worked in the school, and whether they could sell these products to the canteen, but I inquired back and forth, only to know that the relationship behind the canteen was extremely complicated, and there was a special vegetable planting base in logistics, and this planting base was .......You know."

"Although the canteen is not contracted to the outside, there are many places to operate inside, I advise you to let your friends think of other ways." Deng Yun explained in detail.

Listening to Deng Yun's words, Yang Zhou felt that he had been poured a basin of cold water.

It's still too difficult to do business, and it's not as simple as a laboratory at all.

To engage in scientific research and experiments, as long as you have the ability and understand technology, everyone will hold you and beg you.

But to do business is to ask customers and hold others.

Originally, Yang Zhou thought that he had come up with a brilliant idea, to provide cheap agricultural products by himself, and the canteen could make more money, which was perfect.

As a result, the canteen has its own planting base, and the relationship is complicated.

How could an outsider like Yang Zhou get involved.

"Okay, I know, that can only make my friend find a new channel, the whole capital is such a big market, there is always a way out." Yang Zhou said with a sigh.

"Yes, the permanent population of the capital is more than 21.7 million, how many agricultural products do you have to consume every day! Our village planted a lot, but we can't enter this big market, vegetable wholesalers come to our side to buy, 5 cents a pound of radish, to the capital to sell 2.5 yuan, this money farmers can not make a big head, you say not angry. ”

"By the way, senior brother, if your friend really finds a channel, you must come to help me, I will contact the farmers for you to buy it at that time, and other wholesalers are not as cheap as your friends, we also have a collective vegetable greenhouse project here, and there are all kinds of vegetables!" Deng Yun said.

Yang Zhou was a little speechless, originally looking for Deng Yun for help, but in the end it became Deng Yun asking him for help.

"Okay, I'll look for the market first, and if the market is really opened, I'll come to your village, bring the farmers to make a fortune, and also give your kid some political achievements." Yang Zhou said with a smile.

"Then I'll leave it to you, call me at any time, I'll play with my brother when I'm free, the farmer's big local chicken, it's very delicious!" Deng Yun said.

After a few more pleasantries, Yang Zhou hung up the phone.

"Hey! It's really hard to do business, the canteen doesn't count on it, and you have to think of other ways. Yang Zhou said in a low voice.

For the sake of his own life, Yang Zhou did not give up so easily.

The vegetables in the mysterious space are the only way for Yang Zhou to make money quickly.

In the next few days, Yang Zhou went to the laboratory during the day, and then left Tang Yue to look after the house, riding a shared bicycle around the street, and when he encountered a vegetable market, he went in to inquire about the news and ask about vegetable wholesale.

In the afternoon, he went back to the laboratory to check Tang Yue's work, and went home in the evening to stay up late to read the latest papers on gene editing, and designed his own experimental plan based on the gene function of the mysterious space.

Before going to bed, Lei recorded a goodnight video without moving.

He never opens a beautiful face when he shoots videos, and netizens slowly found that Yang Zhou is getting darker and darker.

After a few days of running, there was little success.

There are many people who do vegetable wholesale business, and basically wholesalers go to the vicinity of the capital to buy vegetables, and then transport them to familiar vegetable markets, supermarkets, hotels and other places.

There are no procedures such as inspection of the origin of vegetables, but when entering the vegetable market, the vegetables in the supermarket must go through a quality audit.

It is mainly a spot check of pesticide residues and so on.

If there is no certificate, vegetables cannot enter large supermarket chains and vegetable markets.

Some vegetable vendors are directly connected to small restaurants, and there are also mobile vegetable vendors, all of whom have their own supply channels and sales channels.

Middlemen actually play a great role, and the now popular Internet selling of vegetables is actually robbing the business of these middlemen.

Of course, selling vegetables on the Internet not only robbed the middlemen of their business, but also robbed the business of countless vegetable vendors.

Now various policies are suppressing Internet giants to subsidize fresh e-commerce, just to save the jobs of countless people who really sell vegetables.

In fact, the peasants' losses are not big now, and how they used to sell vegetables is still how they are still selling.

I am afraid that after the fresh e-commerce company grows big by relying on subsidies, it will use its bargaining power to squeeze farmers on the one hand, and sell vegetables at a high price on the other hand to recover the subsidy cost.

This is the same as taxi software and food delivery platforms.

After investigating for several days, Yang Zhou was not fruitless, at least he had basically found a way to sell the vegetables in the mysterious space.

That is to make wholesalers make more money, which is equivalent to selling vegetables to wholesalers at a low price and letting them be transported to major vegetable markets for distribution.

It's just that there is a question of trust, and there is a lot less money to make.

It's very simple, originally Yang Zhou was going to be a wholesaler, and the carrots were wholesaled for at least 7,8 cents or even 1 yuan a catty, but now for the wholesaler, it may only earn 5 cents a catty.

Maybe he earns a little less than the peasant, and others still can't believe him.

Yang Zhou also has an idea, that is, whether he can take the high-end route, after all, the vegetables produced by the system must be better than ordinary vegetables.
