Xu Ying first returned to the guesthouse to pack her things, then went to the front desk to call the place that Director Sun cooperated with to store the braised duck and fried goods.
After contacting the right people, Xu Ying went to find Uncle Xu, Yang Nan and Zhou Yi. They decided not to conduct the food tasting activity this afternoon, but to go check out some spots nearby to see which ones were suitable for the activity.
"Minister Xu, I think it's feasible to hold the event in front of the food factory. People who go to the food factory are definitely doing food business, and we just happen to be close to the water and get the moon first.
We can just stop them and let them have a taste of our fried food." Yang Nan thought he was very smart and looked very proud.
But he didn't expect that as soon as he said this, everyone looked at him like a fool.
Yang Nan didn't understand.
Uncle Xu snapped his fingers at his head without any hesitation: "Are you a tiger? Going to the food factory to promote our products.
Do you think we are not conspicuous enough and won't be hated by the food factory?"
Zhou Yi also looked disapproving: "Your method is too rash. We are here to organize activities, not to find enemies.
We are unfamiliar with the place to begin with, and if you directly provoke the food factory, it would be strange if they don’t pick a fight with us.”
Xu Ying was also shocked by Yang Nan's train of thought. She rolled her eyes at him and continued walking forward.
Several large factories in Shanghai are gathered together.
The ones with the most wealth must be the machinery factories. They would not make any investment if they didn't want to, but once they do, one order is enough to make more than a year's sales for these small factories.
Machinery is really amazing.
"Uncle San, let's hold the event at the machinery factory!" said Xu Yingniu.
Uncle Xu chuckled and said, "We are related by blood, and we think alike. I also think the machinery factory is the most suitable place for us.
Our food factory is now holding a food tasting event, which is a blatant attempt to steal business. The machinery factory is far away from the food factory, so even if they want to cause trouble, they can't reach us.
Besides, the people in the machinery factory are not short of money. If we keep them hungry, we don’t have to worry that the department store will not see the benefits of our products.
The Friendship Building is close to the Machinery Factory. I see the wind has been blowing towards the Friendship Building these days. Once we take this out, I don't believe that people over there won't be able to smell the fragrance." Uncle Xu's words made Zhou Yi's eyes light up.
"Even if the foreign guests came, it has nothing to do with us. They came on their own, and it's not us who disturbed them."
Xu Ying nodded. No wonder Third Uncle had a small business in his previous life. This brain is a good thing.
Yang Nan felt that his brain was not enough. It turned out that he was only suitable for studying food and then eating.
The location had been chosen. Xu Ying took a few people to borrow things they would need for tomorrow and then returned to the guesthouse.
The next morning, Qian Yuanyuan and Qiao Yuzhu got up early, one waiting to see Xu Ying make a fool of herself, while the other wanted to see how capable Xu Ying was.
This time, the factory manager assigned a task to their textile factory, and gave commissions for selling clothes. The more clothes they sold, the higher the commission would be.
Qiao Yuzhu is full of energy at the moment, just waiting to do something big.
Make more money and go back.
"Minister Xu, where do we start the promotion?" Qiao Yuzhu asked curiously.
Qian Yuanyuan looked at Xu Ying with naked mockery in her eyes: "Minister Xu, have we found a good position now?
I was so tired after sitting on the train all day yesterday that I fell asleep as soon as I got home. Minister Xu must have found a good seat, right?"
He laughed heartlessly and said, "Yesterday, Zhou Yi, I, Minister Xu, and Uncle Xu had already found a seat and were waiting for the food tasting to start today.
We have even prepared the tools we need today. Let’s go to the machine shop, which has a good location.”
Qian Yuanyuan was still thinking about criticizing Xu Ying for being irresponsible, but she didn't expect that she was already prepared so early. For a moment, her face looked as uncomfortable as if she had eaten shit.
She smiled dryly and said, "Minister Xu really works hard."
Thinking about Zhou Yi and Xu Ying going out alone yesterday, Qian Yuanyuan became angry again.
In a guesthouse, she walked closely beside Zhou Yi, for fear that the two would have the chance to be alone together again.
Xu Ying and her friends arrived at the gate of the machinery factory. The old man guarding the gate saw them coming and smiled: "Xiao Xu, are you guys going to have a food tasting after you come in?
I have prepared everything for you. Oh, the braised duck and fried food you made yesterday were so delicious. I brought them back to my wife and the kids at home and they all loved them."
After the old man finished speaking, he waved to Xu Ying, walked aside, smiled sheepishly and said, "Xiao Xu, can you sell me some of your braised duck and fried food?
This thing is so delicious, my family couldn’t get enough of it yesterday.”
When Xu Ying heard this, her eyes flashed and she said with a smile: "Uncle, you can't hurt me. If I sell this to you, it would be speculation.
If you want to eat, I'll give you a few packets, but I may have to disturb you at the door these few days."
The old man was also a smart guy, he knew what Xu Ying meant, he smiled and squinted his eyes, as the saying goes: "It's okay, feel free to bother you, you are not doing anything bad.
Speaking of which, this food tasting activity is a good thing for everyone. Who doesn't want to try it? Just put it out there. I see that your food is so delicious that you can even sell it in a department store.
You guys put it out first, I’ll go to the machinery factory later to promote it and invite everyone to come and eat.”
There is no such thing as a free lunch. Although he doesn't know why little Xu is organizing this food tasting event, he doesn't believe that this girl has too much money to burn. The girl is already a minister at such a young age.
There must be something outstanding about it, and this event must have its own success.
When Xu Ying heard this, she smiled sweetly: "Thank you, uncle. If we really want to sell it in the department store, don't worry, I will give you a discount then."
The old man was overjoyed when he heard this, his children were all grown up and had formal jobs, and his family lived a good life, so he was not short of money. He would definitely patronize this delicious restaurant often in the future.
Few people know about this braised duck. If more people knew about it, it would definitely sell well. With this girl's relationship, he will not have trouble buying these foods.
"Why is she chatting so happily with that old man? Why doesn't she start the activity?" Qian Yuanyuan looked suspicious.
Qiao Yuzhu really admired Xu Ying. As a qualified salesperson, she naturally knew what Xu Ying was doing.
This girl is young, but she is very thoughtful. Could it be that this food tasting activity is really very useful? "Uncle, I'm going to be busy first, you can take a rest." Xu Ying envied this job of guarding the door. Just sitting at the door all day and getting paid, ah, this life is really comfortable.
"Minister, shall we start now?" Yang Nan was already eager to eat.
Xu Ying nodded.
Yang Nan immediately smiled happily: "Fire, fire."
