Chapter 48 The Establishment of the Shengxun Brand
Practice has proven that having a wide network of connections leads to faster efficiency. On Thursday afternoon, Yunxia received a note from Gu Xun saying that all the formalities had been completed and that he wanted to purchase 500 jin of melons and fruits to test the sales.
With business booming, Yunxia was naturally delighted!
Last time, we signed a long-term cooperation agreement with Bai Ye, providing him with 4,000 kilograms of vegetables every week. We also gave him a spare key, so he didn't need to handle the transactions personally. He would send someone to pick up the goods directly, and the payment would be settled monthly.
Early Saturday morning, a small truck drove into the alley and parked in front of number 48.
Dressed in a punk style, Gu Xun jumped out of the car, clenched his fist, and knocked on the door.
"Little butterfly, don't move, I'll do it!"
The husky, as swift as the wind, opened the door and, seeing the other person dressed like that, furrowed its brows like a pretzel.
At the same time, Gu Xun was also sizing him up. Finally, he coughed lightly and said, "Young man Feng, please make way!"
"You...know me?"
"The only son of the richest family in Jiangcheng, everyone should know him, right?"
"But I've never heard of you before?"
"Someone as insignificant as me is certainly not worthy of your attention!"
"What are you dawdling about? Hurry up and come in."
Gu Xun spread his hands and smiled helplessly. Feng Jingling had no choice but to make way for him!
"Gu Xun, your outfit is... really unique!"
Even in the pre-apocalyptic world, no one would say that this outfit is outdated.
Gu Xun spun around, showing off his trendy outfit from all angles. "That's right, I've been looking for this outfit for a long time. Yunxia, do you want me to get you a set too?"
"Hey, Mr. Gu, let's get down to business first?"
Jiang Chao kept glancing at someone with a wolf-like look, thinking to himself, "You think you can corrupt Yun Xia? No way!"
Yun Xia, who had been overthinking things, shivered and then shook her head vigorously. "No need. I can't handle the powerful aura of these clothes. Let's go inside and look at the fruits."
Well, his good intentions were taken for granted by the siblings, but Gu Xun wasn't angry. He raised an eyebrow and swaggered inside.
"Hey, who are these vegetables for?"
"Oh, it's a shoe factory, they use it for employee meals!"
Gu Xun untied a snakeskin bag, took out several kinds of vegetables, stood at the door, held them up to the sunlight, and carefully inspected them, occasionally making clicking sounds.
"Hey, Mr. Gu, you've checked the wrong goods. Yours is right here!"
"Oh, I know, I was just looking. Yunxia, what's the purchase price for vegetables?"
The difference between 1 mao and 1 yuan 2 yi is quite significant. Her clear eyes darted around a few times before she said, "It's about the same as the market price; it's all about volume."
"Tsk tsk, what a loss. Such good vegetables should be sold at a high-end price. Yunxia, let me give you a suggestion: raise the purchase price to 4... no, 5 mao (0.5 yuan) or more, otherwise you'll lose a lot of money."
Yunxia: ...
They bought it for employee meals, not to give away. It's priced at 50 cents. Believe me, they'll order from another restaurant on the spot.
"Boss Gu, don't worry about anything else, come and inspect the fruits and vegetables!"
"Okay!"
As he passed by Yunxia, he deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Remember my suggestion."
Yunxia couldn't reason with him, so she could only nod perfunctorily.
After inspecting the goods, the group worked together to weigh and count them, then loaded the fruits onto the truck.
"Phew, so tiring! This is a job most people couldn't do," Feng Jingling sighed as she wiped her sweat with a tissue.
"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint Young Master Feng. There are quite a few people in Jiangcheng who do manual labor."
"you……"
"Alright, stop arguing with him. Go back and have Yunxia make you braised pork."
"Hmph, I wouldn't deign to argue with him!"
"512 jin, let's say 500 jin, 1.2 yuan per jin, that's 600 yuan in total!" Yunxia said without looking up from her notebook.
"We've known each other for so long, how about a discount?"
The little girl blinked, looking confused, and said, "Discount? Does that mean breaking a bone? Oh no, that won't do! Hitting someone is against the law!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Xun was stunned for a moment, and then... burst into laughter.
"You...you're so funny!"
"Mr. Gu, integrity is the most important thing in doing business, isn't it?"
The punk teenager waved his hand to indicate that he knew, and after laughing enough, he pulled out six large bills from his purse and handed them to the little girl.
After repeatedly checking whether the banknotes were real or fake, Yunxia put them into her handbag!
"It's the weekend today, would you like to visit the fruit and vegetable processing plant?"
"Sure!"
Just when I was about to doze off, a pillow was delivered to my head; I was just worried about not having a chance to study!
With limited seating in the truck, Jiang Chao and Feng Jingling had to sit in the back of the truck, exposed to the wind and having to watch over the fruits and vegetables.
Inside the car, Gu Xun chatted with Yun Xia while driving.
"How did you two meet Young Master Feng? I'm quite curious!"
"Oh, he and Jiang Chao are classmates. They got to know each other after a while. Do you have a grudge against him? I always feel like there's something off about the two of you!"
Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in the boy's eyes, which were half-hidden by his thick bangs. He chuckled self-deprecatingly and said, "Of course not. One is a high-and-mighty rich young master, and the other is a rascal who has been struggling in the mud. How could the two of them have anything in common?"
Knowing that he was deliberately hiding something, Yunxia stopped asking and found an excuse to change the subject, talking to him about local delicacies.
Forty minutes later, the truck stopped next to a suburban house. Gu Xun called them to get off and then called over a group of burly men to help unload the goods. He gave them a box of local cigarettes as a thank you gift.
"Grandpas and grandmas, let's get to work! Remember, quality over speed!"
At a command, the elderly men and women began to get busy.
Wipe the skin of the fruits and vegetables clean, cover them with foam netting, and place them in the compartments. Nine compartments make a group, and put two groups in one box.
"Feel free to look around, and point out any problems you find. That's how you improve, isn't it?"
Upon hearing this, Yunxia, who was squatting on the ground observing, picked up a piece of cardboard, studied it for a while, and then turned it into a box!
The front of the box features an artistic version of the characters "Shengxun," while the lower right corner depicts a large, plump, and tempting pile of fruit. Slightly to the left of center, a scene of visiting relatives and friends as a gift is depicted in a simple, ancient-style drawing. The back of the box contains basic product information.
"Yunxia, after studying this for so long, what suggestions do you have?"
Suddenly being called upon, this person said they weren't flustered at all!
"The box is of good quality, the design is quite nice, and it has a handle, making it convenient for gift-giving. Hmm... I do have a suggestion!"
"Oh, tell me, I'm all ears."
"Different types of fruits have different sizes, sweetness, and shelf life. If different packaging boxes are designed according to the type, it will be more convenient for both buyers and sellers."
"Yunxia, your suggestion is very valuable. I will consider it for future business development. You can research other things and see if you can come up with any useful suggestions."
"Okay!"
After speaking, he got up and looked at this and that, chatting with the workers wearing masks and gloves from time to time.
As we chatted, we discovered a big problem: these workers seemed to be... sick.
Lame, deaf, mute, missing feet, missing fingers... In short, not one of them is healthy!
