Chapter 7 Fruit Wholesale Market
Monday, June 15, 2020.
At three in the morning, Qin Liufu got up to wash and dress.
Ten minutes later, Qin Liufu took a taxi with a black plastic bag that had been prepared last night, and then headed straight to the largest fruit wholesale market in Guizhou Province.
The purpose of this trip is very clear, and it is to find more merchants to cooperate. After all, relying solely on Sister Zhang to ship the goods alone, even if you can get one car a day, the speed of making money is too slow.
Of course, the market in the provincial capital can be temporarily left to Sister Zhang to slowly develop. Qin Liufu's main partner is merchants in other cities in Guizhou.
Qin Liufu searched online. The largest fruit wholesale market in Guizhou usually opens around 4 a.m., and it is just right to rush over this time.
There was not much deviation in the end. There were very few cars during this period and the road was basically smooth. So when I arrived at the fruit wholesale market, it happened to be around 4:00 in the morning.
This time period was quiet elsewhere, but there were cars coming and going, and the crowds were crowded. After Qin Liufu paid the fare, he walked into the brightly lit market with a black plastic bag.
In the market with a very broad vision, both wholesalers and merchants from all over the country who come to purchase goods are very busy.
While wandering around, Qin Liufu carefully observed merchants from all over the world, and also listened to their conversations with wholesalers. From time to time, he also asked a wholesaler to inquire about the wholesale prices of various fruits.
It was not until I wandered around for more than twenty minutes that I met a business that he thought was more suitable for cooperation.
It was a middle-aged fat man with the surname Chen. From the process of bargaining with the wholesaler, Qin Liufu heard that he was from Anguang County, which was under the provincial capital, and wanted to find a long-term wholesaler to cooperate with.
There is nothing that people who do business know about the principle of comparing the shops. This middle-aged fat man obviously knows this well. He was looking for wholesale negotiations one by one. Qin Liufu followed him to seven or eight fruit wholesalers. One or two of them gave the price very good, and he didn't want to stop and purchase the goods.
Seeing that he was heading towards the ninth wholesaler again, Qin Liufu wanted to find out where his price bottom line was, but he didn't want to waste too much time on him, so he walked over and said hello: "Hello, Boss Chen!"
Chen Mingxiang turned around and saw the young man with a smile on his face in front of him. Although he was full of questions, he still responded politely: "Hello, young man!"
"Boss Chen, I have all kinds of high-quality fruit wholesale here. I wonder if you are interested in talking about it?" Qin Liufu said straight to the point.
Chen Mingxiang nodded indifferently and said, "Yes, take me over and have a look!"
Qin Liufu waved his hand and said, "Boss Chen, you misunderstood. We don't have a wholesale site here. To be honest, I went to the provincial capital for the huge amount of fruits in our village to find sales."
Chen Mingxiang's eyes lit up. Is this a first-hand source of goods?
However, there are too many scammers in this world. Chen Mingxiang, who has rich social experience, will not believe whatever he says. He will only know whether it is true or false.
Seeing that Chen Mingxiang was interested, Qin Liufu didn't talk nonsense. He opened the black plastic bag in his hand in front of him and said bluntly: "Boss Chen, these are lychee samples from our village, namely Black Leaf, Concubine Xiao, and White Sugar Pooh, all of which are of the best quality. You can try it first and then talk about it."
The lights in the fruit wholesale market are as bright as daylight. Chen Mingxiang can clearly see the three strings of lychees in the black plastic bag. As an expert who has been working in the fruit industry for many years, you can see at a glance that the other party is not lying. These three strings of lychees are really the top-quality ones.
Although he hasn't tasted it yet, the three large bunches of lychees are perfect in their shape and color.
"Then try it first!" Chen Mingxiang picked a black leaf lychee and peeled it. He found that the color of the flesh was also excellent. He threw it into his mouth and chewed it. The taste was so good that it tasted so good.
Is this a black leaf lychee? It's simply incredible.
Seeing Chen Mingxiang's expression change, Qin Liufu smiled slightly and said, "Boss Chen, how is the quality of the black-leaf lychees in our village? Didn't you disappointed?"
Chen Mingxiang gave a thumbs up and praised: "Best, I really didn't expect that the lychee variety, Black Leaf, could achieve such quality. It's really a great experience."
Qin Liufu smiled and said, "Boss Chen will try the other two varieties, I believe that it won't disappoint you!"
Chen Mingxiang nodded, and picked up the concubine's smile and Bai Yanan Pooh with anticipation.
The result was not beyond Qin Liufu's expectations. Chen Mingxiang was completely conquered by the top taste of concubine laughing and Bai Tangpong.
You should know that Fei Zixiao and Baitangpong are originally excellent varieties of lychees, second only to top lychees such as Gunlu, Guiwei, and Nuomizu. They are not comparable to medium-sized lychees such as Black Leaf.
Now the quality of Concubine Xiao and Bai Tangpang has been increased by 50% by Qin Liufu (the current quality of lychees can be increased to 60%, but now he is still in the stage of capital accumulation. In order not to show off and avoid unnecessary troubles, the quality of lychees is the limit. Before the capital accumulation is completed, the quality of lychees will not improve further), the shape, color and taste may be "Luogang Guiwei", "Bicun Glutinous Rice Ci", "Zengcheng Hang Green", which are known as the "Three Masters of Lychees", can be compared with one of them.
It is expected that lychees of such quality conquering Chen Mingxiang.
"Young man, don't know what to call you?"
"Boss Chen, my surname is Qin, Qin Shihuang, just call me Xiao Qin!"
"Brother Qin, everyone is precious, so let's get straight to the point!"
Chen Mingxiang pointed to the lychees in Qin Liufu's hand and said, "This black leaf, concubine smiles, the quality of white sugar poppies, I have been completely conquered. I wonder how many lychees of this quality are in your village, Brother Qin? How much does it cost per pound if you wholesale?"
"Boss Chen, you also know that Concubine Xiao and Bai Tangpang are both at the end of the period, especially for this quality, there are not many left in our village, and it will only last tens of thousands of pounds to death! As for Black Leaf, it has just been on the market for a short time. Not to mention how much you need, it is not difficult to pick a million pounds!"
Qin Liufu smiled and continued: "In terms of price, because the quality of our lychees is there, it must be slightly more expensive than that in the wholesale market. Black leaves are currently 6 yuan per pound, and Concubine Xiao and White Sugar Poppy are both 10 yuan per pound."
"Brother Qin, I won't bargain with Princess Xiao and Bai Tangpang, but the production of this black leaf is so large, can it be cheaper?" Chen Mingxiang said bargainingly.
"Boss Chen, my price is already very fair. The wholesale market is indeed only 5 yuan per kilogram, and some wholesalers are even only 4 yuan per kilogram, but is the quality of their black leaves comparable to ours? It's not of the same level at all, okay?" Qin Liufu said with contempt.
"But……"
Seeing that Chen Mingxiang wanted to bargain, Qin Liufu interrupted directly: "Boss Chen, don't be there. I'm not afraid to tell you that I have opened up sales in the provincial capital. The reason why I came here to find merchant cooperation is not that the sales in the provincial capital is not that the sales in the provincial capital are not good, but that I want to expand my network to facilitate the sale of other fruits in the village."
Chen Mingxiang believed this. After all, the quality of lychees is there. Although the price is a little more expensive, he dares to guarantee that there is definitely a shortage of supply.
Therefore, seeing that Qin Liufu was unwilling to discuss the price issue, Chen Mingxiang was also tactful and stopped bargaining. In this world, the boss was the one who had a good source of goods.
Next, the two began to discuss some details until it was dawn and the two sides decided to cooperate.
After parting with Chen Mingxiang, Qin Liufu continued to wander around the market. When he met a suitable candidate, he came forward to chat with him. It was not until nearly 9:00 in the morning that the peak period of the wholesale market had passed, and Qin Liufu left with great harvest.
During the more than five hours in the wholesale market, Qin Liufu, including the middle-aged fat man Chen Mingxiang, met with twelve merchants.
Among them, we reached cooperation with five merchants from all over the country. Three of the remaining seven merchants directly refused the cooperation for some reason. Although the other four had the intention to cooperate, they had not yet reached a cooperation because the fruit they were going to buy was relatively comprehensive and the single fruit purchase volume was not large, so they were unable to reach a cooperation for the time being.
However, everyone left each other's contact information. After Qin Liufu spread his business and involved a variety of fruits, everyone's cooperation will be achieved.
After leaving the fruit wholesale market, Qin Liufu didn't care about his stomach that was so hungry that he was screaming, and kept calling his father.
"Hey, Lao Liu!"
"How are the black leaves from the third uncle, the fifth uncle and the younger uncle's house picking?"
"I'm picking it up, I guess it'll be over in more than one minute."
"Dad, that's right. I've opened up sales here. After picking the black leaves of the third uncle and fifth uncle, if there is still time, I'll laugh at their concubines, pick the white sugar and white wax, and transport them all. The price is 6 yuan per catty. I'll pay the shipping fee. Do you ask the third uncle and they agree?"
"Why don't you have to ask this? Concubine laughs, white sugar poppy, white wax and other varieties, the purchase price given by others in the village is only 4 yuan per catty. Now if you don't sell it for 6 yuan per catty, wouldn't that be a fool?"
"Well, dad, look at the arrangement. If you have time, pick it if you have time, and if you don't have time, pick it again tomorrow."
"It must be too late. Our family lacks everything, but it's not short of staff. I'll call your second aunt and uncle, fourth aunt and fourth aunt, and younger aunt come to help. Today, I will pick them all and transport them to you."
"Okay, you can do it first!"
"Well, then let's do it first, call me if you have something to do!"
"Um!"
Chapter completed!
