Who knew that Fang Yan would actually come to this county town!
When Comrade Xiao Zheng saw Fang Yan standing in front of his shop, he was both surprised and delighted.
What startled him was the fear that his wife might say something wrong;
The good news is that your older brother guessed correctly. So, if you sincerely apologize to Fang Yan as he suggested, you might be able to get other cooperation opportunities from her even after the New Year.
In the morning, when Comrade Zheng went to see his brother, Section Chief Zheng told him that although Xiao Fang was young, she was smart, talented, and capable. Even if she didn't make braised food, she would definitely be able to come up with other business projects.
Even he kept trying to win Fang Yan's favor, hoping that she would take him along whenever there were any good money-making projects, given his sincerity.
So, Mr. Zheng, who originally thought that he was old enough to be her uncle and why he should apologize to a little girl, immediately apologized without saying a word.
Fang Yan was stunned for a few seconds by his enthusiastic attitude. After regaining her senses, she said in a daze, "I just came here to check out the market. I just happened to be passing by, so I thought I'd stop by and take a look at your place."
Even if she really intended to catch them red-handed, she can't admit it.
However, it seems that yesterday's phone call had a significant effect. Section Chief Zheng somehow managed to stop Comrade Zheng from having any ulterior motives.
"My shop is a bit small now, wait..."
Because Fang Yan spoke in a friendly and approachable manner, Comrade Xiao Zheng followed her lead and began to introduce his small shop.
As they talked, his topic smoothly transitioned to picking up the goods for tomorrow. "Xiao Fang, a lot of people have come to ask about the braised food flavor today. I've been telling them to come back tomorrow to buy it, and to prepare more for me tomorrow, okay?"
Business will definitely be booming tomorrow.
"How much do you want?" Fang Yan asked.
"Eighty catties."
Comrade Xiao Zheng usually buys fifty jin (25 kg) of goods.
Fang Yan: "Okay."
There are pork factories supplying him now, so even if he wants 100 jin (50 kg), they can supply him.
Seeing that Comrade Zheng and his family of six were living in a small apartment of about fifty square meters, Fang Yan thought for a moment and shared her secret to making money with Comrade Zheng: "You can use the braising sauce to give to customers. Anyway, I didn't charge you for it."
You have to give up something to gain something.
This is Fang Yan's business philosophy.
"We don't lose anything by letting others take a small advantage, but whenever he wants to eat braised food, he will think of coming to you to buy it. In this way, you will gain a loyal customer, which is a continuous source of wealth."
After Fang Yan left, Xiao Zheng pondered Fang Yan's words repeatedly and felt that they made some sense.
He was also afraid that she was trying to harm him.
He then went to his brother and told him what she had said, “Brother, I think what she said makes some sense, but it also feels like she’s trying to take advantage of me. How can anyone let someone else benefit for free?”
"Foolish!"
Upon hearing this, Section Chief Zheng scolded him, "From now on, you'll pick up the goods yourself every day. Learn from Xiao Fang. Look at him, so young yet so clever."
Fang Yan's business philosophy is something that many people, even those who have been in business their whole lives, still don't understand!
"Xiao Fang is right. Just follow what she says. Do you think she's trying to scam you?"
Section Chief Zheng looked speechlessly at his foolish younger brother, "Little did he know, all they wanted was for you to earn more money so you could raise your children properly."
He guessed this after asking his younger brother in detail: Fang Yan probably saw that his brother's family of six were crammed into that small house and couldn't bear it, so she passed on her "business acumen" to him.
"From now on, you'd better behave yourself and do business with Xiao Fang. Don't you dare have any crooked thoughts, or I won't let you off the hook."
Having navigated the ups and downs of the workplace for so many years, Section Chief Zheng has seen countless people of all kinds in the business world. A businesswoman like Fang Yan, who is both principled and compassionate, is truly rare.
To meet her and be able to work with her is such a blessing.
Fang Yan did not stay overnight in this county town. She walked through the streets of the town and confirmed that this county town was slightly larger than theirs and that the economy was relatively better.
She even went to the shopping mall under Section Chief Zheng's jurisdiction and secretly interviewed customers who came to buy pork jerky...
"This pork jerky is delicious. The small packaging is also very convenient. I heard that they will release gift boxes for the Chinese New Year, which would be a very impressive gift. I plan to buy a few boxes as soon as the gift boxes are available."
“Everyone in my family loves this pork jerky. Although it’s a little pricey, considering how much raw meat costs, and how many kilograms of raw meat it takes to make one kilogram of pork jerky, not to mention how good it is, the price is actually acceptable.”
...
The market here reacts to pork jerky just like it does in her hometown; everyone loves it.
It seems that Section Chief Zheng will definitely receive more orders before the end of the year.
The main purpose of coming here to investigate the market is to assess the situation before the new year and prepare for the next phase of inventory preparation. It's essential to come and see for yourself in person to see if the market recognizes our capabilities and then decide how to prepare inventory accordingly.
Fang Yan didn't go to see Section Chief Zheng. After finishing the market survey, on her way back, she coincidentally passed by Boss Wu's restaurant.
I remember Section Chief Zheng saying that Boss Wu replicated his own braised dishes and pork jerky.
She went in anyway, wanting to try the food.
"I'd like a serving of braised dishes, a pot of stewed vegetables with fish fillets, a bowl of rice, and half a pound of pork jerky."
"Are you sure you want to order braised dishes and pork jerky?"
It's been several days now, and everyone knows that their braised food and pork jerky don't taste as good as the ones sold at Zheng's Little Shop in the alley near the mall.
Who would still buy here?
So when the staff saw that she had actually ordered these two dishes, they couldn't help but confirm with her.
Fang Yan nodded, "Yes."
She wanted to see how well Mr. Wu could replicate her braised dishes and pork jerky.
Even the chefs in the kitchen found it a bit strange.
Who still comes to their restaurant to eat braised dishes and pork jerky these days?
He felt something was off, so he personally brought Fang Yan the food. "You ordered the braised dishes and pork jerky, right?"
“Yes.” Fang Yan nodded.
The chef arranged the dishes but did not leave the hall. Instead, he stood not far away, quietly watching Fang Yan.
Fang Yan knew that he was watching her.
She pretended not to see it, picked up her chopsticks, took a piece of braised food, and put it in her mouth...
Fang Yan's tongue, despite its exceptionally sensitive sense of taste, is not the most sensitive.
Even so, after this test, she immediately knew...
