Chapter 46: Potato Country
Manager Zhang suddenly realized, "Wholesale prices for agricultural products are incredibly low this year. Your senior has good taste."
Chen Jinyue was puzzled. "Is it low? How much is the wholesale price per pound?"
Manager Zhang replied, "I just heard from my dad that it's a little over 90 cents."
Chen Jinyue, “!!!”
So the price she saw online was even higher than the price of rice. How many times did it change hands?
The innocent college students were deeply shocked at this moment.
"Tell your dad that I want all your corn! One dollar a pound!" Chen Jinyue didn't think twice and was ready to take advantage of the situation.
Manager Zhang was happy but reasonable. "You don't even want to inspect it? Just buy it directly?"
Chen Jinyue took the opportunity to win people over, "I believe in Manager Zhang's character! Besides, I also invested in my senior sister's startup, so I have a say, don't worry."
Manager Zhang, “…”
Chen Jinyue ordered the corn from his family and said that he would take a taxi to go back to the village with him tomorrow.
By the way, she asked him to ask other people in the village if they had any agricultural products to sell, as she wanted to collect more.
Manager Zhang was sure that she was serious and quickly called home.
…
On the way back to the village in his green truck, Chen Jinyue chatted with Manager Zhang and learned that their village's main crop was not corn.
It's potatoes.
It is known as the hometown of potatoes.
"I asked my dad to check. Excluding what's grown in the fields, the village currently has about a thousand tons of potatoes, over seven hundred tons of corn, and a little less soybeans, about a hundred tons."
"But soybeans are expensive, 2.5 yuan per pound. Potatoes are the most affordable, 70 cents. If you want more corn, it's still the market price of 92 cents."
"Take a look at which ones you want and how much do you want for each?"
Manager Zhang was very organized. He compiled the data in one night and reported it to her clearly.
And knowing that she was starting a business and wanted a lot, I didn't take advantage of her and just calculated according to the market price.
Chen Jinyue really likes to work with people like this.
She drove the car, looking at the navigation, and answered directly, "Both."
Manager Zhang's pupils were shocked. "??? Are you sure?!"
Chen Jinyue nodded. "Yes, I want all the ones available in the village. Yours is on the land, so I'll reserve it for you. I'll take one dollar for it. For others, I'll charge the market price."
She thought for a moment and said, "I'll wait until I get there to see if there's any agricultural products left. I'll buy some if it's suitable."
Manager Zhang, “…”
He sat in the passenger seat and calmed down for several minutes before digesting the fact and calling home.
Order the goods first to avoid conflicts with other customers later.
Although this is almost impossible.
The reason why so much agricultural product is stockpiled this year is mainly because the market prices are too harsh.
The villagers are not satisfied with the price and are still negotiating with the boss.
But in fact, if Chen Jinyue hadn't come this time, everyone would have to compromise.
It’s better to sell it at a low price than to let it get moldy at home.
…
As the green mini entered the village, he saw a large group of villagers waiting in the fields. They were standing on both sides, looking forward to it, as if they were welcoming some important leader.
Chen Jinyue slowed down and saw that the destination was right in front of him, but why were there so many people?
"What activities are going on in your village?" she asked puzzledly.
Manager Zhang was not surprised by the scene, but he was surprised to see the village cadres in the crowd.
It seems that the news he just brought has caused a great shock to the village.
"They are here to greet you."
Manager Zhang turned to look at her, a hint of apology in his eyes. "I didn't know the news spread so quickly. They're all here."
He is always thorough in his work, and this is a rare mistake.
Too careless.
I just forgot to specifically tell my family not to tell anyone too much for now.
What if Boss Chen just has an idea and isn’t sure if he really wants it?
Or what if you see the product and are not satisfied?
The news has not been confirmed yet, and if the deal is not completed, the villagers will be very disappointed.
Boss Chen's reputation will also be affected...
Chen Jinyue was driving and saw this group of people suffering from social phobia, but he didn't notice the worries in his heart.
The mini car stopped on the side of the road. As soon as Chen Jinyue got out of the car, a middle-aged man came forward.
"Is this the Boss Chen Xiao Rui mentioned? Uh, young and promising!"
Manager Zhang quickly got out of the car and stood next to Chen Jinyue, introducing her. "This is Secretary Hu from our village. The person next to her is Director Li, and this is Assistant Xiao Wu."
"Secretary Hu, Director Li, Xiao Wu." Chen Jinyue looked calm as he shook hands and greeted everyone one by one.
Manager Zhang then introduced, "Hello, leaders, this is our boss Chen."
Director Li smiled and said, "Great, great, we are very happy to hear that you college students have chosen our village's products to start your own business."
Director Li and Secretary Hu are both old and shrewd people.
Although he was a little disappointed to see a little girl like Chen Jinyue and was skeptical about today's transaction, he didn't say anything in the end.
But that Xiao Wu is different.
He is very young and a college student. He communicates with the outside world on behalf of the villagers and has met many big bosses.
But I have never seen anyone as good at pretending as Chen Jinyue.
One look at her car and you can tell how wealthy she is.
Suddenly I felt like I had been tricked.
He couldn't hold back, "Brother Rui, have you been in the city for too long? Did you come back to the village to have fun with us? The crops in the fields are unsalable this year, and all the leaders are busy and exhausted. If you can't help, don't make things more difficult for us!"
He started attacking Manager Zhang as soon as he opened his mouth, and his tone was inevitably sarcastic and harsh.
Manager Zhang was actually unsure and had no intention of arguing with a young man who was just starting out, so he ignored him and reminded Chen Jinyue.
"The closest place is Uncle Peng's. He has corn and potatoes, and the quantity is decent. Should we go check it out first?"
"good."
Chen Jinyue glanced at Xiao Wu and ignored him.
Manager Zhang raised his voice slightly and called out "Uncle Peng." A man in his fifties or sixties at the front of the crowd hurried over. "Hey! Okay, okay! Follow me! Boss Chen, if you think it's a good idea to collect them together, the price is negotiable!"
Chen Jinyue was infected by the uncle's simple and sincere smile and smiled back, "No problem."
A group of people walked towards Uncle Peng's house in a mighty procession.
Next to a tiled house, Chen Jinyue saw a large vegetable field, which was neatly divided into several grids.
There are eggplants, cucumbers, peppers, green beans...
It is morning now and the sun is not too strong. The abundant vegetables are coated with a layer of golden light, emitting a vibrant glow.
"Uncle Peng, are these dishes yours too?" she asked.
Uncle Peng's trot slowed down. "Yes, the vegetables are growing well this year, but I don't have the time. They're almost out of stock, so this crop is going to go to waste!"
"It looks okay to me. Do you want to sell it? I want to collect it together and make some vegetables or pickles."
“!!!”
Uncle Peng stopped abruptly.
I was just thinking about things at home and was just chatting casually.
Hearing this, he looked at the field with joy and asked, "Are you interested in these vegetables?"
Before Chen Jinyue could say anything, Xiao Wu, who was following the team, sneered, "What are you bragging about! You haven't even looked at potatoes, and now you're interested in vegetables?"
