Chapter 73: Come with Sincerity
So that's how it is. Zhang Ze thought Chen Zhengyou was caught for taking kickbacks and that was the reason why he was in trouble.
From what this young man said, it seems that he wants to collect fish from me like Chen Zhengyou did?
Zhang Ze pondered for a moment. He originally did not plan to take any risks this year.
Moreover, Chen Zhengyou's character is not good and the risk of cooperation is extremely high. Who knows when he will sell himself out.
But all his savings now, after deducting the living expenses for Zhang's mother, are only about 2,800 yuan left. Moreover, with daily expenses and the desire to prepare new clothes for his family for the New Year, the savings will be dwindling.
Next year, whether you buy a house or a boat, you will need a lot of money, so the more savings you have, the better.
Now that someone has taken the initiative to cooperate, Zhang Ze thinks he can give it a try. If the conditions are good, it is not impossible to cooperate.
Moreover, connections, customers and channels are actually very important. The purchase price at the fishery station is definitely different from the market price. The same grouper may retail for RMB 1.5 but only cost RMB 1 at the fishery station, or even less.
Places like factories will become very high-quality customer units after the implementation of market economy policies.
"Okay, let's go talk over there."
When Ou Shuxiang saw that he agreed, a hint of joy appeared on his face.
After the three of them arrived at a relatively remote location, Zhang Ze was the first to ask his doubts: "How did you know that Chen Zhengyou was collecting fish from me?"
Every time he sold fish, besides Chen Zhengyou, there was only the finance officer from the logistics department by his side. Besides these two people, the security guard also knew him. He knew very well that he had never seen the young man in front of him at all.
Ou Shuxiang looked at Tong Shuyao beside him and did not answer immediately.
Zhang Ze knew what he meant and said directly: "This is my wife."
When Ou Shuxiang saw how intimate the two were, he knew that they were at least a couple.
But since she was his wife, Zhang Ze had no intention of asking others to avoid him, and it was impossible for him to ask others to avoid him. So after introducing himself, he asked and answered the other party's questions.
"The Radio Factory suddenly had a lot of lively groupers and lobsters. The buyers from our sister factory would naturally pay attention to this."
"As for knowing you, it's mainly because I was squatting outside the radio factory for a while and saw you a few times."
Ou Shuxiang gave a brief explanation, but he naturally wouldn't tell anyone about what he had learned from the security guard: the person selling the fish was Zhang Ze.
Zhang Ze nodded after listening to it. He didn't want to ask for details. He just wanted to know how the other party knew him.
Moreover, the way Chen Zhengyou took the fish from him was too direct and not at all secretive, so it was not surprising that others could find out.
"How do you plan to cooperate?"
Ou Shuxiang pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "I don't know how you cooperated with Chen Zhengyou before, but I know him a little bit. His kickbacks should be quite a lot!"
Zhang Ze smiled and didn't react.
Seeing this, Ou Shuxiang had no choice but to continue, "Chen Zhengyou has been having a hard time recently. I heard that he has been looking for you."
"I don't know if you guys broke up, but I'm here to cooperate with you with sincerity. I'll just take ten cents, what do you think?"
Zhang Ze raised his eyebrows. Only one cent, the gap was a bit too big.
Seeing that he still didn't say anything, Ou Shuxiang thought he was still dissatisfied, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "To tell you the truth, this dime is not actually a kickback for me. I also need money to take care of some things. You can't let me pay for it myself, right?"
Zhang Ze nodded in understanding: "I have no objection to this. You are indeed more sincere than that Chen Zhengyou. I am just curious. As a purchaser, you should be able to get a lot of grouper and lobsters if you think of a way. Why do you want to cooperate with me when you basically don't get any benefits?"
"If I want to move up, I need to make some achievements." Ou Shuxiang did not hide his purpose, and there was nothing wrong with this purpose. "Secondly, fish can indeed be obtained by finding a way, but fresh and lively fish can only be bought from you at present."
Speaking of this, there was inquiry and curiosity in his eyes, and he was obviously wondering how Zhang Ze could do something that no one else could do.
"Is that so? Then when the time comes to sell the fish, I will also deliver it to the factory?" Zhang Ze suddenly realized.
This is indeed his advantage. In an era without oxygenators, his space is indeed a dimensionality reduction attack in terms of ensuring the vitality of fish.
"No, no, no, that's too risky." Ou Shuxiang shook his head. "I can arrange a place in a remote old house. You can deliver it there before four o'clock. I will come over to settle the bill with you in half an hour."
He would not be as foolish as Chen Zhengyou to make such a big mistake. Everyone did it secretly, but that guy was so unscrupulous because he relied on his brother-in-law being the factory director.
Zhang Ze's eyes lit up after hearing this. If he had gone to the radio factory to trade, there would have been some risks as he could have easily been targeted. However, going to an abandoned and uninhabited house to trade would undoubtedly increase the safety factor a lot.
If it was still the same as before, to be honest, he might not agree. He only needed to wait a few more months to trade safely, so there was no need for him to take the risk.
But now he felt that he could do this kind of private transaction.
"Okay, take me to the house later to show me the way, and then give me the key. Also, how often do you deliver, and do you have any requirements on the quantity?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Of course the more the better. I'll take any amount. As for the time, I'll deliver it once a week, every Sunday afternoon."
"I did business with the radio factory before, and they gave me some tickets. Not just the usual food and meat tickets, but occasionally they also gave me some cloth tickets and the like. Is it the same here?"
Seeing that this young man was so easy to talk to, Zhang Ze naturally tried to make more requests.
To put it bluntly, he had begged Chen Zhengyou to sell fish before, so it was normal for him to suffer a little loss in order to make money.
The same logic applies if others are asking him for something now and he makes a few more small requests.
If the other party could get some cloth coupons, he would not have to buy them from the ticket scalpers himself.
"There are also cloth coupons?" Ou Shuxiang was a little surprised. Grain coupons, meat coupons, and even non-staple food coupons were easy to get, but cloth coupons were more difficult to get. He always felt that Zhang Ze was deceiving him, but he had no evidence.
"Yes, cloth coupons. I don't need you to take out a lot at once, just give me a little each time you make a deal."
Hearing him say this, Ou Shuxiang finally breathed a sigh of relief. If the quantity was not large each time, he could indeed get some.
As long as this business is successful, not only can he move to another position, but he may even be able to negotiate some business from the neighboring city for the factory.
Chen Zhengyou has connections in the factory, it’s not like he doesn’t have them, otherwise he wouldn’t have gone out of his way to inquire about Zhang Ze.
"Okay, if the quantity is not large, it's no problem. I need to go back and get the key to the old house, and I need another one. How about you go to the state-owned restaurant and wait for me at noon tomorrow, and I'll take you there after lunch."
It looks like he's going to treat me to a meal! Zhang Ze immediately felt that this young man in front of him was quite capable. Compared to Chen Zhengyou, all the extra years he had lived were wasted.
If someone had a long-term vision and cooperated with him, he would not give up this profitable business just because of the busy farming season.
At worst, you can go fishing at night. If you squeeze in time, you'll always find it.
