After the speedboat docked, the pickup truck dedicated to Moon Island parked at the small dock on the shore. Li Qingyun moved the vegetables to the back of the pickup truck and went directly to the nearby metropolis, the provincial capital of Guangdong Province.
These vegetables are mainly high-end and cannot be sold in ordinary cities, so they go straight to the neighboring provincial capital of Guangdong Province to sell these vegetables at a high price even if it takes more time.
After these vegetables become famous, we will consider promoting and selling them in cities such as Sanya and Haikou. Anyway, Moon Island is almost far away from these places.
Before coming to the provincial capital of Guangdong Province, Li Qingyun checked the situation of several large hotels. The Nanyue Hotel is a very famous chain hotel in the province, integrating catering and accommodation. I heard that the value of catering is very high.
Li Qingyun took a fancy to this, so he made a special trip to try his luck.
After getting off the bus, he walked directly to the front desk.
A beautiful waitress at the front desk immediately stood up and said with a smile: "Sir, are you talking about catering or accommodation?"
Li Qingyun was a little dazzled. He wanted to choose a consumption method based on the beauty's greeting, but he still said: "Beauty, I want to meet the purchasing manager of your catering area. Is it convenient?"
I heard that I was looking for the Purchasing Department Manager of the catering area. The waiter showed a hint of embarrassment on his face. After a moment of hesitation, he immediately said: "Sir, do you have anything to do with the Purchasing Department Manager? This is not part of my job scope, but
If you really need it, I can try to contact you."
Li Qingyun guessed that the management of five-star hotels must be very strict. If you don't find the right place, it will be difficult for them to contact you.
Moreover, the Purchasing Department Manager is a very busy vacancy and is usually hard to see. Seeing how enthusiastic the front desk lady is, I sincerely thank you: "Thank you in advance for your help. Well, our farm has grown some delicious incense.
I would like to ask him to identify the pollutant vegetables and see if there are any opportunities for cooperation."
"That's it. Then let me make a call first and ask." After saying that, the front desk clerk picked up the phone and dialed the phone and asked, "Hello, Secretary Wen. There is a boss who grows pollution-free vegetables here who wants to see him. I don't know.
Is Manager Bei free?"
"Hmm... pollution-free vegetables, okay, the supply of vegetables in our hotel is really tight recently. You can ask him to come up with samples and take a look." He said on the phone.
The waiter put down the phone and said politely to Li Qingyun: "Sir, you are lucky, Manager Bei happens to be free. He is in the office on the ninth floor. You take the vegetable samples from the elevator to the ninth floor and ask the reception staff again."
After Li Qingyun thanked him, he got back in the car, picked up a cardboard box, and took the elevator to the ninth floor.
After getting out of the elevator, I found that this floor was an office area, and I was asking the receptionist. A beautiful clerical lady happened to come out, and when she saw Li Qingyun holding a cardboard box, she asked: "Are you the boss of growing vegetables in Beijing?"
The manager just has twenty minutes to spare, please come with me quickly."
Li Qingyun was brought into a luxuriously decorated office by her, and saw a middle-aged man sitting behind the desk, wearing a pair of rimless eyes, looking at Li Qingyun with a somewhat arrogant expression, and said: "Mr., let's keep the story short.
You take out the vegetables first, and I'll check the quality."
Li Qingyun secretly curled his lips, he was really rude, he even omitted simple politeness and did not introduce himself.
In this case, Li Qingyun was no longer polite and directly opened the carton and took out a few cucumbers.
Manager Bei suddenly smelled the fragrance of grass and trees, mixed with the unique fragrance of cucumber, which lifted people's spirits and produced a strong taste.
However, he was worthy of being a shopping mall elite. He pretended to be calm and kept his expression. When Li Qingyun handed the cucumber to him, he slowly took it and looked at it carefully.
Then Li Qingyun took out one or two samples of eggplants, green peppers, tomatoes, beans and other vegetables and placed them in front of his desk.
The fragrance of grass and trees in Manager Bei's office became even stronger.
Manager Bei swallowed, but deliberately put on a posture and said calmly: "Sir, this cucumber looks much larger than an ordinary cucumber. Is it a genetically modified product?"
Li Qingyun shook his head and explained calmly: "Manager Bei, our farm has good mountains, good water, good air, sufficient sunlight, and fertile land. We use only natural fertilizers and have never used pesticides. Due to strict management and special planting methods
, so the vegetables grown are much larger than ordinary vegetables.”
"Oh?" Manager Bei nodded, swallowed again, and said anxiously, "It sounds good, but I don't know how it tastes?"
Li Qingyun saw his performance in his eyes and said confidently: "You can taste it, the taste will definitely satisfy you."
Manager Bei shouted to the small office next to the door: "Secretary Wen, come here."
The fashionably dressed professional woman soon appeared and asked curiously: "Manager Bei, what's going on?"
"You take these cucumbers and rinse them, and I'll taste them."
Secretary Wen responded, took the cucumber and walked out. After a while, he handed the moist cucumber to Manager Bei.
Manager Bei picked up one, opened his mouth and bit it.
After eating the cucumber, his expression changed slightly. The fresh fragrance mixed with the special fragrance of cucumber was simply amazing. It was countless times more delicious than the cucumbers he had eaten before.
Manager Bei even forgot to chew and just stood there in a daze.
After a while, Manager Bei regained his composure and swallowed the cucumber in a few mouthfuls.
Secretary Wen was stunned as she watched from the sidelines. This was the first time she saw Manager Bei acting so gloomy.
After Manager Bei finished eating, when he looked at Li Qingyun again, his expression had changed and he smiled very enthusiastically: "Let me introduce myself first. I am Manager Bei from the purchasing department of the catering area. What is your surname, boss?"
"Your surname is Li, I wonder how Manager Bei feels about our vegetables?" Li Qingyun didn't have time to chat with him now, so he directly asked the result.
"The taste is okay." Manager Bei suddenly felt that he was too emotional. He cooled down a little and asked, "I wonder what price Boss Li sells for these vegetables?"
Li Qingyun saw Manager Bei's performance and knew that he was very satisfied with the vegetables he grew. Coupled with the excellent reviews after they were put on the market, he said with great confidence: "All vegetables have the same price, three pounds per catty."
One hundred dollars.”
"What? How much does it cost per pound?" Manager Bei looked at Li Qingyun in shock, almost suspecting that there was something wrong with his ears.
"Three hundred yuan per catty." Li Qingyun added.
Secretary Wen was also very surprised. She seemed to have seen a strange flower in the agricultural product industry. He dared to sell vegetables for 300 yuan per catty. Could it be that he had never been to the vegetable market and didn't know the market price? These are consumables, not luxury goods!
Li Qingyun seemed to have anticipated their reaction, and said slowly: "Manager Bei, my dishes are worth the price, and they have been tested by the market. You know the delicious family in Shanghai, they use the same for their sky-high price dishes.
The vegetables I grow are delivered to your door for 300 yuan per pound.
Their purchasing manager signed a long-term supply contract with me without saying a word, and kept urging me to increase the supply. I came to you to sell, mainly because I want to open up the market in southern Guangdong, otherwise there will be people rushing for my vegetables."
Manager Bei shook his head: "I have heard of the sky-high price dishes of the Magic City Delicious Family, but I have not had the opportunity to taste them myself. But Boss Li, let me be honest, your price for this dish is too high. As a migrant worker, if
Let the boss know that the vegetables I bought are 300 pounds, and I won’t be able to come to work tomorrow. If you can lower the price to the market price, I can sign a contract with you right away."
After listening to Manager Bei's words, Li Qingyun shook his head and said: "Market price? Three yuan and five yuan per pound? Haha, that's a pity. Maybe we are not talking about things from the same plane. Let's cooperate again if we have the opportunity in the future."
After saying that, Li Qingyun stopped staying and turned around to walk out of Manager Bei's office.
Manager Bei's face changed slightly, and he shouted from behind: "That's really a pity, but you forgot to bring your food..."
"Let's give it to you two to try." Li Qingyun said without looking back.
Seeing Li Qingyun's disappearing back, Manager Bei was a little disappointed, even a little regretful, and even wanted to get up and chase him back. But when he thought of such a high price, he suddenly lost his confidence and sighed: "I would rather miss an opportunity than to
Take an adventure."
Li Qingyun heard this sentence at the elevator door and shook his head slightly. This is the difference between bosses and workers. One wants to take risks to make money, while the other just wants to keep the salary safely.
While thinking, I entered the elevator.
Li Qingyun went down to the first floor. As soon as the elevator door opened, he saw several people in suits and leather shoes standing at the door of the elevator, surrounded by a rich middle-aged man.
Li Qingyun didn't take a closer look and walked out.
As soon as I walked out of the elevator door, I suddenly heard a surprised voice beside me: "My benefactor, it's you. We meet you everywhere in life."
Li Qingyun turned around and took a look in surprise, and found that the person speaking was the middle-aged man he had rescued in the VIP lounge of the airport that day. He smiled and said: "It's a coincidence. I came to the purchasing manager here to do something.
I didn’t expect to meet you again. I was really sleepy on the plane last time and was a little rude. Please forgive me.”
"I can understand, haha, I was not considerate that day and disturbed your rest!" The middle-aged man took Li Qingyun's hand very enthusiastically and asked, "By the way, did you get things done today?"
Li Qingyun shook his head and thought of one thing at the same time. He had given himself a business card with the name of the boss of a hotel chain written on it, but he was too sleepy at the time and threw away the business card.
The middle-aged man heard that Li Qingyun's matter had not been completed, and he seemed to not know his identity. It seemed that he did not read the business card carefully, but there was a hint of excitement in his eyes. He hurriedly said: "Well, it's rare for us to meet again.
I will be the host today and go upstairs to have a few cups of tea. Moreover, I am familiar with the boss of this store. If the matter is not difficult, I can help you talk about it." (To be continued.)
