It’s quite hot even when picking vegetables.

Xu Qingzhi just went to pick peppers. He was exposed to the direct sun for so long that his head was hot.

She planned to adjust the time for picking and selling vegetables. She could hire more people and pick the vegetables two hours later, around the time the sun sets.

After soaking the peppers in the wine pot, Wang Yanmei still had some free time, so she planned to go to the back mountain to watch people pick vegetables.

Xu Qingzhi expressed the idea of ​​delaying the time of picking vegetables, "Mom, let's start picking vegetables at four o'clock. The sun is too strong, and the vegetables will wilt easily after being picked."

"Sure." Wang Yanmei agreed. "The sun is too strong, and it's too hot to pick vegetables. Let's start at 4 o'clock tomorrow. We can pick loquats and blackberries earlier to avoid the sun's strongest time at noon. It's also a good time for people to go home and have lunch and a nap."

Xu Qingzhi nodded.

"Yes, I noticed that the blueberries in our garden have gradually turned into small purple fruits a while ago. We can sell them now."

Xu Qingzhi nodded, "Okay, I'll go tomorrow."

This season is a berry lover's paradise.

Xu Qingzhi thought that the few packaging boxes at home might not be enough, so she placed an order with the online store where she often bought packaging boxes, for 5,000 cartons, 5,000 small baskets for berries, and 5,000 breathable plastic boxes for blueberries.

The weather has improved recently, and the chickens and ducks at home have been laying eggs very diligently, so we added another 5,000 egg trays.

The owner of this online store is very nice. He often gives away extra boxes and anti-collision sponges. Moreover, the seller is from Xijiang, which is not far from Meicheng. The delivery can arrive in three days at the slowest and the next day at the fastest.

At this moment, the little girl who was refreshing the store backend saw the new order and her eyes lit up.

Ever since Dad had a car accident and was confined to bed, Mom had to take care of him. She came back to inherit the family factory as soon as she graduated from college.

The factory business was doing well in the first few years when her father started it. It has expanded from a small factory with only a dozen people to its current scale of several thousand people.

From small items like foam mesh bags used by some people in the village to sell fruits to large glass jars for the famous canned yellow peaches, all are provided by their factory.

But later, as competition became more and more intense, other factories would use low prices to attract customers.

His father insisted on not using inferior raw materials and insisted on quality.

With the development of the times, consumers pay more attention to cost-effectiveness and don’t care what raw materials a packaging is made of.

Several big orders that were scheduled for several years have been lost, and I am left to rely on some old relationships to survive.

When Fu Wang Farm became very popular last year, she discovered that the customer who had supplied her with cartons bearing the “Fu Wang Farm” logo was actually the owner of Fu Wang Farm.

However, she knows her limits.

When people come to buy packaging cartons, she is responsible for selling them.

Later, the owner of Fuwang Farm would come to her regularly to buy milk cans, cartons, paper bags, foam mesh bags, egg trays...

She realized that after she made a purchase, the other party would start thinking about maintaining the customer and would proactively send her more packaging.

This time, it was the first time that the other party placed so many orders.

Since she took over the factory, she has never negotiated a fixed large order. She boldly asked the other party: "Do you have it in stock? How many days will it take to ship?"

She replied immediately.

"We have stock in the factory. If you place an order late today, we will ship it early tomorrow morning."

"Boss, if you have a high demand, I can give you a discount. I can ship to you regularly, saving you the trouble of placing an order."

Xu Qingzhi raised her eyebrows when she saw the seller's reply. She had long found it troublesome to buy packaging regularly.

Sometimes she forgets.

It’s just that I bought too much at one time and I can’t keep them at home.

Moreover, it is in the south where the weather is humid, so she was also worried that the cartons would get damp.

If the other party could ship the goods regularly, it would save her the trouble of placing an order.

Xu Qingzhi replied: "Sure, add me on V."

Send the WeChat ID and temporarily enable your WeChat friend permissions.

Soon, a rabbit avatar with the nickname Xijiang Meimei Packaging Factory added her as a friend.

She nodded her agreement.

Xijiang Meimei Packaging Factory: "Hello."

Qingzhi: "Hello, how do I order scheduled shipments?"

Ask directly and to the point without wasting each other's time.

"We can sign a contract online. I will give you a 10% discount on the price of the packaging boxes based on the online price. The cooperation period starts from one year. If you are not confident, you can sign a one-year contract first, as long as the total packaging quantity in a year is not less than 100,000. I will send you the quantity of each packaging you need on a monthly basis. Boss, you can consider it."

Xu Qingzhi: "Okay, sign it. Sign for ten years."

The other party was stunned. In the past, when I saw my father negotiating contracts, he always tried his best to sign a contract for a few more years, three to five years, so that the income would be more stable.

Unexpectedly, the owner of Fuwang Farm wanted to sign a ten-year contract.

Xijiang Meimei Packaging Factory: "Okay, I'll give you 20% off the price of the packaging boxes. Please wait a moment while I ask my assistant to get the contract."

A few minutes later, the girl's cell phone on the desk rang.

It’s Dad calling.

She picked up the phone and answered it, and she heard her father's happy voice: "Daughter, I heard that you negotiated a deal that took ten years?"

The girl lowered her head slightly, feeling a little embarrassed. It had been such a long time since she took over the factory, and she had just negotiated the first order. She was worried that the factory would collapse in her hands. Her voice was so small and guilty: "Yeah, yes, Dad, we just negotiated it, and we haven't signed the contract yet."

"I know my girl is amazing. Your dad and I have never managed to close a deal for ten years. Girl, you are awesome. Come back for dinner tonight. Your mom said she will make you your favorite fried shrimp with chili peppers."

After graduation, she took over the factory and moved into her home near the factory. In order to take care of her father's health, her parents now live in a villa in the suburbs.

She responded, "Okay."

On the other end of the phone, the man's voice was slightly deep, and he said slowly: "Girl, don't be too stressed. If the factory can't be that big, we can open a small one."

"That won't do." The girl retorted immediately. She knew her father was just comforting her. Many people in the factory had followed her father all the way. Even some of the young people recruited were relatives of the older generation. Last year, the factory was in a difficult situation and the year-end bonus was small, but no one resigned.

Since she has assumed this responsibility, she must be responsible for these thousands of employees and will never lay off employees unless the situation is desperate.

"Yeah, Daddy is just worried about your health, girl. In Daddy's heart, you are always the best. You have been smart since you were young, and you always get first place in the exams. Daddy knows that if Daddy hadn't gotten into this situation, you would have been able to find a job and live a better life than now. It's Daddy who has implicated you."

The girl's eyes were slightly red. "Dad, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm back to inherit the family property. I'm so happy. My classmates envy me so much."

Xijiang has always been a place where sons are heavily favored over daughters. Because her mother had heavy bleeding when she gave birth to her, her father did not allow her to have a second child.

She is the only daughter of her parents, which is almost rare in Xijiang.

My grandmother, who favored boys over girls, always said unpleasant things. When I was a child, I went to her house for the New Year, but she wouldn't let me and my mother sit at the table to eat.

It was her father who overturned the table and made a fuss, saying that neither of them could sit at the table and that no one could eat. Only then could she and her mother sit at the table and eat normally.

She knew from a young age that her father loved her and her mother very much. (End of this chapter)
