Chapter 206: Advertising without spending a penny!!

After saying goodbye to the village chief, Ye Zhen came to the lotus root pond.

Several young men from different families were helping, and the aunties in the village who had nothing to do were standing by.

Dad Ye was wearing a one-piece suit, with half of his body stuck in the mud, bending over to pick up lotus roots, which were already piled up on the edge of the field.

Grandpa Ye used a large net bag to surround the gap where water was released. While the water was released, it also caught the fish and shrimp that wanted to escape. Uncle Lao Gen was squatting nearby. The two of them were smoking and changing the net bag from time to time to pour the catch into the bucket.

Mother Ye brought the large electronic scale from home over, and from time to time villagers would pick up big fish, weigh them, and take them away.

"Mom, I'm busy." Ye went over to say hello and helped weigh lotus roots and fish for everyone.

The fish were really big, grass carp and silver carp as long as my arm, as well as many big fat carps, green shrimps and grass shrimps as thick as my finger, crabs as big as a human palm, and occasionally loaches and turtles thrown by uncles and aunts...

There were quite a lot of varieties. Ye Zhen squatted down and looked at the crabs in the big basin. Ye Dajun grabbed a few big fish and threw them up and said with a smile:

"The leaves are coming."

Ye Zhen greeted cheerfully, "Uncle Dajun, you must catch some fish this year. Our fish are fat."

"I want to buy a few."

Several familiar aunts were also enthusiastic and helped Ye Ma pick up fish and shrimps. "Meizi, there are so many fish and shrimps in your pond. There is no place to put them in all the basins!"

"Yes, I put a lot of fish and shrimp in my house, but unfortunately, I don't know what happened, they all turned belly up and almost died."

"I do have a few at home, and we caught them for the holidays."

"Mei Zi, where did you buy these fish fry? I see there are quite a lot of small fish fry in your pond. Can you buy some to raise next year?" An aunt looked at the Ye family's fish and shrimp with envy. Thinking that the problem might be that the fry were not strong enough, she wanted to buy some to take home to raise.

Mother Ye waved her hands, "If you want to catch some, just take them back. Why would you buy some small fish from your village? They are just small fish fry. How much can they be worth?"

One aunt was very happy and did not refuse. "Okay, I'll pick some. Do you want winter bamboo shoots tomorrow? There are many bamboo forests near my mother's house. I brought a lot here and will give you some tomorrow."

Mother Ye exclaimed, "Great, this winter bamboo shoots fried with meat is delicious. Where can I dig them at home?"

The aunt laughed and said, "If you want to eat it, it's easy. Just come to my house and get it. I have a lot of them!"

Several aunts were busy and talking. A lot of fish and shrimp were bought by villagers in groups of two or three, but there seemed to be no less fish in the pond, and they kept being thrown up.

Ye's mother was too lazy to divide the points and shouted, "Whoever wants to buy can just pick one."

In the middle of winter, he was sweating profusely, and only then did he have time to ask Ye Zhen: "Why are you here?"

Ye Zhen stretched his neck to look around, unable to get a word in, so he answered honestly: "Come and help."

But looking at the uncles, aunts and uncles who came to help, how could she have the right to intervene?

It's no wonder that Ye Zhen has figured out the trick. This year everyone has money, and there are many villagers coming to buy fish, shrimps and crabs.

Some of them come from far away on electric bikes or tricycles, and they buy a big basin at a time, with big fish one after another.

Although fish and shrimp are not expensive in the countryside, crabs and turtles are not cheap either, and this is not enough to sell.

Every family walked away with their buckets in their hands, smiling. Soon, the village chief came hurriedly on his electric tricycle.

"Are there any more fish?" Before anyone came over, he shouted while holding two buckets.

"Yes, enough for you to buy today! Empty your pocket."

Ye stood in the pond and shouted back, "Village chief, your tricycle is broken. Buy yourself a small four-wheeler next time. It will only take two minutes to get here!"

"The little money I have is not enough for my family to spend. My whole family is waiting to spend it. My son is looking for a wife, and my daughter is giving away dowry. It can't compare to the money everyone in your family earns." The village chief smiled reservedly. Only he knew how much savings his family had.

Someone joked with the village chief, "The village chief's fields are all occupied this year, so he has quite a bit of savings. I think he doesn't want to buy a car because he wants to build houses for his sons next year."

Village Chief Zhang laughed and scolded, "Don't you have a house? And you, Ye Dajun, are the most cheerful, why don't you buy a car and drive it?"

"Who said I didn't buy it?" Ye Dajun's income this year is no lower than anyone else in the village except Ye Zhen's family. He bought a new car when the money was first distributed. It was not expensive, just over 100,000 yuan.

He was planning to take his whole family on a trip during the Chinese New Year. His wife had never gone out to have a good time in all the years since she married him, so this year she bought a new car and took the whole family on a good trip.

Otherwise, if we start farming in early spring, and there is only so much time in a year, of course we would put all our energy into farming. How could we squeeze out other time to rest?

"Oh! So the rich guy is here!" After listening to Ye Dajun's plan, the village chief also agreed, "We should have some fun. At our age, we have worked for most of our lives and haven't been out much."

"What about you? Why don't you buy something new for your family?" The village chief glanced at the other people who had just made a joke.

"Haha, village chief, my family also bought a car, but it's not as expensive as Dajun's! I bought one for each of my two sons and daughter, and they have been working in the fields this year!"

"My family also bought one, but it's a pickup truck, used to transport goods."

"My family is the same. We are going to open up all the marginal land next year and do a big job. We need a truck to transport goods. A pickup truck is good, and it has a big and spacious cargo area!"

Well, after asking this question, the villagers found out that they had bought the car a long time ago and it turned out that they didn’t pay much attention to it.

The village chief was thinking of buying them for his two sons and daughter after the Chinese New Year, but he didn't expect that he was already a step too late.

…………

There were still a lot of fish and shrimps left, and all the lotus roots had been sold, leaving only a pile. The pond was blocked, and Dad Ye picked out the big ones and took them away, and threw back the rest, the ones the size of a small palm.

Near the end of the year

Zhao Feng was so busy that he was almost exhausted. He was busy with the purchase remittances of various supermarkets, price summary, process approval, financial verification, etc. He was busy like a spinning top! !

He had just sat down to take a breath and take a sip of water when his boss called him again.

Ever since Manager Wang was demoted and transferred, the new manager who was transferred from above is quite capable.

Relying on Ye Zhen's family's fruits, they made a breakthrough in several economically developed cities and broke into the local large-scale green fresh product supermarkets in one fell swoop!

He expanded the market little by little, and when residents from all over the country were fascinated by Wanmao Gaotang fruits, he decisively shipped most of the refrigerated and fresh fruits he purchased next time overseas to explore overseas markets.

Only the people in China who block supermarkets every day are left to engage in hunger marketing!

This was a great move. A large number of customers ran to the front desk to ask questions and arrived at the supermarket on time every day to wait. The boss issued orders to all branch supermarkets.

The general meaning is: as long as customers ask about Gaotang fruits and vegetables, we will use the excuse that the fruits and vegetables are high-end and hard to buy to whet their appetite and start a new round of free promotions for Wanmao Supermarket!

I saw that various supermarkets were calling to report that they could no longer handle the inquiries from customers, and some customers were so impatient that they ran to the local Consumer Association to complain.

His words make a lot of sense. When asked by others, he sticks his neck out and complains that Wanmao Supermarket is inhumane and is not like other supermarkets at all. Other high-end supermarkets have all kinds of imported fruits, no matter how expensive or rare they are, but Wanmao Supermarket is special!

What, how hard are the fruits and vegetables to buy, they can’t afford them or what! It keeps us in suspense every day!

It doesn’t look like a supermarket!

The Consumers Association must conduct a thorough investigation, and it would be best if they could find out the purchasing channels of Wanmao Supermarket. They can find it themselves, they have money, they can go by plane or by sea, we want to buy Gaotang fruits and vegetables!!!

One or two is not unusual, but when several of them come and block people every few days that is not right. Some tabloids even reported it in the local news.

Think about it, now that the Internet is well developed, most of the people who watch the news are elderly people. In places with good economic conditions, these elderly people have pensions and play chess and stroll in the park every day.

If you have money and free time and can't buy what you want, shouldn't you ask your children for help?

As a result of this incident, Wanmao Supermarket became popular again in various places without spending a single penny on publicity.

Anyway, Zhao Feng was full of admiration!
