Chapter 55 Everyone has their own destiny; there's no point in envying them.
Each potted plant had a wooden sign with a price listed on it. The price of an ordinary potted plant had increased from five taels to ten taels, but the price of the strawberry plant and the potted plant covered with obsidian-like fruits was not set. Having tasted the sweetness of the strawberry plant, Liu Kuan understood its value and waited patiently after looking around for a while.
"Uncle Liu, this is a new product we just launched: cherry bonsai." As she spoke, Li Yunyun brought over a plate full of cherries. "Strawberry and cherry bonsai are not sold separately. They are only given away as gifts when you apply for a VIP card. There is one giveaway per month, with two winners each time."
"Thanks to Uncle Liu's kindness, a cherry bonsai was given as a gift when I signed up for the VIP card." Under Lin Zhaozhao's persuasion, Liu Kuan not only signed up for the VIP card, but also extravagantly recharged 5,000 taels of silver, claiming that he wanted 100 apple, peach, fig, mango and goat milk fruit bonsai each.
Lin Zhaozhao politely declined, citing insufficient stock in the shop. After some haggling, the final price was set at one hundred potted plants.
Due to the large quantity, Lin Zhaozhao and Liu Kuan agreed to deliver the goods three days later.
After handing over the silver notes, Liu Kuan left contentedly with the strawberry and cherry bonsai. Once he was out of sight, Li Yunyun excitedly stomped her feet, and Lin Yangyang, Li Yunhai, Li Yunzhou, and Li Junsheng were also overjoyed.
"Sister Zhao Zhao, are we about to make a fortune?" Each potted plant costs ten taels, so a hundred of them would be a thousand taels. Although some people applied for VIP cards on the opening day, the pre-deposited silver was not their own. Now, one of these plants is equivalent to five, and they even give out silver notes.
After being sidelined for several days, the sudden arrival of such a large order was incredibly exciting for them.
Infected by the smiles of the others, Lin Zhaozhao also raised her lips, "Don't be too happy yet, getting a big order also means you'll all be busy."
"I couldn't have gotten it."
"My pleasure."
"If we don't get busy soon, we'll be letting down the wages Sister Zhao Zhao paid us."
"I think you're just after next month's wages."
Watching her siblings bicker, Lin Zhaozhao couldn't help but smile and began assigning tasks, "Yangyang, Junsheng, you two are responsible for liaising with Lin Dagen. The monthly delivery frequency will be increased from once a month to three times a month. Specific times will be notified separately."
"Yunhai and Yunzhou are responsible for coordinating with Song Family Ceramics and ordering a large batch of pottery jars. As for Yunyun, she is responsible for guarding the shop. If someone comes later, note down their requirements and don't agree to them for now."
After giving instructions to everyone, Lin Zhaozhao left the shop and went to the money exchange to exchange the banknotes for silver. Then she went to the brokerage firm. She wanted to rent a spacious place at the dock, firstly because she had too many fruit trees and potted plants to fit in the shop, and secondly to confuse people and cover her tracks.
Merchants are driven by profit, and Liu Kuan returned to Huichun again in just over twenty days, bringing with him five hundred potted plants. This shows that her fruit bonsai had brought Liu Kuan success.
If one person profits, others will quickly follow suit, which means that after Liu Kuan, there will be a continuous stream of people coming to buy goods.
Lin Dagen's delivery volume alone may not be enough to meet the demand, and she will definitely have to take matters into her own hands.
Therefore, she needs to prepare before this happens.
After explaining the specific requirements to Zhao Xu, Lin Zhaozhao went out of the city and transported a large amount of soil into the space, along with a large number of pottery jars.
Two days later, the warehouse was ready, and apart from the slightly high rent, there were no major problems.
On the agreed delivery date, Liu Kuan led his men to Lin's Fruit Shop early in the morning, looking as if he was afraid someone would steal it.
As soon as Lin Zhaozhao opened the door, she saw Liu Kuan's round face covered with wrinkles, and her heart skipped a beat. "Good morning, Uncle Liu. The goods have all been arranged. We'll transport them to the dock after breakfast."
"No rush." Liu Kuan waved his hand, and Lin Zhaozhao then noticed the large group of people behind him. "Hand them over."
Lin Zhaozhao:...
