Is twenty yuan a box of Polygonatum expensive?
Is that even a question? It's not just expensive, it's extremely expensive.
You know, these days factory workers can only earn seventeen or eighteen yuan a month even if they work themselves to the bone.
Farmers in the village who earn work points are lucky to make five or six yuan a month.
However, the people here have one thing in common: they're very stingy with themselves.
But if it's for the sake of saving face, they might grit their teeth and buy something beyond their means.
Just like some people in the future, who would spend thousands of dollars for a new foreign gadget like a mobile phone, and I heard they would even sell their kidneys.
And then there are those things that aren't very useful, like posture correctors and memory sticks...
As long as you build up your reputation and make people feel proud to buy this product, that's enough.
The two kinds of Polygonatum gift boxes that Zhang Cheng made, priced at twenty yuan a box, are affordable for some people if they work hard.
As for the 200 yuan per box, it's just a facade to inflate its price; it's not actually expected to sell.
In the purchasing department office.
Looking at Zhang Cheng's relaxed smile, Zhou Qiyuan couldn't hold back any longer and said irritably:
"Hey kid, you've been busy all day, and you haven't sold a single box. You've even lost money on four boxes. What are you up to?"
"I already told you, don't rush, let the bullets fly for a while longer."
Zhang Cheng remained as unhurried as ever.
"By the way, later, could you give Yihan a heads-up and ask her to mention our herbal gift box more often when she's chatting with her colleagues these days?"
"I need to make time to go to the Industry and Commerce Bureau tomorrow to see if I can get the trademark for this herbal gift box removed."
Zhou Qiyuan curled his lip.
Getting a trademark? That sounds quite plausible.
But these products are so expensive, they just won't sell. What's the point of having a trademark?
Zhang Cheng was already making plans in his mind.
Once the trademark issue is settled and everything here is arranged, we'll hand it over to Zhou Qiyuan to manage.
I have to go back to Zhangjia Village and come up with some kind of ancient and scientific drying method, just like I boasted to Section Chief Wang before.
The "three yang and three yin" drying method sounds mysterious, but it should actually be easy to do.
Besides, it's just for show; who would actually investigate?
Just then, there was a knock on the office door.
Who is it?
Zhou Qiyuan was a little annoyed and responded with a somewhat impatient tone.
"Is this Director Zhou? I'm from ward 301, a family member of Wang Jinshan."
Upon hearing that it was Section Chief Wang's family member, Zhou Qiyuan's expression immediately changed. He quickly raised his hand to rub his somewhat stiff cheeks, forced a smile, and strode over to open the door.
"Oh, you must be Section Chief Wang's wife? I am Zhou Qiyuan."
"Director Zhou, I apologize for bothering you."
"Madam Wang, you're being too polite. Although Section Chief Wang and I don't work in the same unit, we both serve the people..."
While politely inviting Madam Wang into his office, Zhou Qiyuan mumbled platitudes.
As soon as Madam Wang entered, her gaze was drawn to the herbal gift boxes piled on the table. Her eyes lit up immediately, and she asked directly:
"Director Zhou, I came to see you today because I want to buy this herbal gift box."
Um?
Zhou Qiyuan paused for a moment, then subconsciously glanced at Zhang Cheng, who was sitting next to him with a half-smile on his face.
He was puzzled. Didn't Zhang Cheng just give Section Chief Wang a box of medicine? Why did his wife come and buy another one? Although there were only ten Solomon's Seal roots in that box, it should last him a while.
Madam Wang smiled and took out two brand-new ten-yuan bills from her pocket, handing them to Zhou Qiyuan. At the same time, she reached for the herbal gift box on the top of the desk.
Two hundred yuan?
When she saw the price tag on the gift box, the smile on her face froze instantly.
Zhang Cheng, who had been sitting there, stood up at this opportune moment, picked up the gift boxes of different prices from the bottom shelf, and handed them over, saying:
"Madam Wang, this is what you wanted, isn't it?"
"Yes, yes, this is it, this is it."
Mrs. Wang quickly put the gift box priced at two hundred yuan back, looking somewhat embarrassed. She muttered to herself, "My goodness, two hundred yuan a box? What kind of person can afford this?"
Madam Wang, with her sharp eyes, noticed the Tianqi gift box beside her and casually asked:
"Director Zhou, how much does this Panax notoginseng gift box cost?"
"Thirty yuan!" Zhou Qiyuan felt a little embarrassed when he said the price. Thirty yuan a box, he was afraid people would think he was robbing people.
So expensive? Madam Wang was shocked again.
Zhang Cheng acted even faster, grabbing a box of Tianqi (Panax notoginseng) gifts and handing it to Madam Wang, saying with a smile:
"Madam Wang, Section Chief Wang gave us some very valuable advice on the Solomon's Seal earlier, which was a great help. We'd also like to give this box of Panax notoginseng to Section Chief Wang to try. We hope he stays in good health, and it would be even better if he could give us some more advice."
"Oh dear, I... I can't accept this!"
Madam Wang declined verbally, but she was secretly overjoyed. She hadn't expected this young man to be so good at handling things, offering a gift box of Panax notoginseng worth thirty yuan without batting an eye.
The atmosphere in the office immediately warmed up when Zhang Cheng readily gave away a gift box of Panax notoginseng worth thirty yuan. Madam Wang didn't rush to leave either, but instead chatted with Zhang Cheng with great interest.
After more than ten minutes, Madam Wang left the office, satisfied, carrying two gift boxes of herbs.
