"Were all your greenhouses destroyed, or did some survive?" Lu Shengnan's calm tone reached the two brothers through the microphone, allowing them to regain some of their thinking ability.
"There are still two and a half greenhouses left."
"How much would we get if we harvested it all?"
"Around 300 jin."
Three hundred jin. Lu Shengnan breathed a sigh of relief again. At least they weren't all wiped out. Even if things went badly, they could use these three hundred jin to hold on and it wouldn't delay the event. It would just be that the event's effectiveness would be greatly reduced.
"Call the police first. Don't disturb the scene before they arrive. Try your best to find the suspect and recover your losses," Lu Shengnan said clearly. "Then, harvest all the fruits and vegetables that can be sold from the remaining two and a half greenhouses. Pick as many as you can, and I'll buy them all at the contract price. Finally, do you have the contact information for the owner of Xu's Fast Food Restaurant? If so, please provide it to me."
Lu Shengnan's words made things perfectly clear for the Yan brothers, and they subconsciously followed her advice, eventually giving her Xu An's phone number.
After offering a few more words of comfort to the two men, Lu Shengnan hung up the phone with the Yan brothers, entered Xu An's phone number, and pressed the call button.
Beep beep beep—beep—
The alarm clock rang? Time to get up.
Xu An suddenly sat up in bed, reached for his phone to turn off the alarm, but after pressing it twice, the alarm didn't turn off and kept ringing.
Looking down, I realized it wasn't an alarm clock ringing, but a phone call. The caller was an unfamiliar number. I glanced at the time again: 3:17 AM.
The call was so late; it felt like a scam. Xu An didn't hesitate to hang up.
He put the phone back in its place, glanced at the dark night sky outside, covered Xu Kang and Xu Le with the blankets, and then lay back down in bed, ready to go to sleep.
Beep—, hang up; Beep—, hang up
After hanging up the phone four times in a row, Xu An, who was still half asleep, finally realized that someone would call him so many times in the middle of the night. Could it be that something was wrong?
After the phone rang for the fifth time, Xu An finally pressed the answer button and then heard a sigh of relief from the other end of the line.
"Hello, are you Mr. Xu An, the owner of Xu's Fast Food Restaurant?"
"Yes, who are you?" Xu An quietly got out of bed, walked into the courtyard, and asked in a low voice.
"I'm Lu Shengnan, the person in charge of Shengli Supermarket. I'm sorry to disturb your rest so late." After apologizing, Lu Shengnan went straight to the point: "I'm contacting you so late because I wanted to discuss whether it would be convenient for you to sell some of the fruits and vegetables from our cooperative greenhouses."
Upon hearing this, Xu An reached up and picked at his ear, asking somewhat uncertainly, "You mean you want to purchase fruits and vegetables from the greenhouses I cooperate with, is that what you mean?"
“Yes, this request is indeed a bit presumptuous, but please consider it, Mr. Xu.” Lu Shengnan coaxed, “Mr. Xu, whatever amount of fruits and vegetables you provide to Shengli Supermarket, Shengli Supermarket will purchase the corresponding quantity from the wholesale market and send it back to you.”
Hmm, Xu An was speechless upon hearing this. What benefit could he possibly gain from doing this?
Is the benefit that you provide high-quality fruits and vegetables to Shengli Supermarket, and then Shengli Supermarket buys a batch of fruits and vegetables of varying quality from the wholesale market and returns them to you?
After thinking about the business scope of my own shop, it seems that it has absolutely nothing to do with Shengli Supermarket.
Even the Qiansheng Group behind Shengli Supermarket doesn't have the power to say a word, and the citizens of the entire city dare not dine at their fast food restaurants.
Since that's the case, Xu An decisively refused: "I'm sorry, the daily output of fruits and vegetables from each greenhouse is limited and cannot meet your company's needs. Please consider other options."
After saying that, Xu An hung up the phone, but instead of returning to his room immediately, he sat down in a rocking chair under a tree.
Mr. Lu just called me five times without stopping, so who knows if he'll call again later?
Lu Shengnan, whose phone had been hung up on, looked at Xu An's phone number with disbelief. Weren't all the people in Xu Family Village born with a rebellious streak?
It seems that the reputation and personal connections of Victory Supermarket are not enough to persuade the other party to agree to this request, so the only option is to offer incentives.
What incentives could I offer Xu's Fast Food Restaurant?
Various thoughts surfaced in Lu Shengnan's mind and were rejected one by one. Suddenly, she remembered the news she had seen when searching for Xu's Fast Food Restaurant before going to sleep.
Xu's Fast Food Restaurant is bidding for the catering supply of the Shanghai Machinery Equipment Expo, competing against the Black Swan Hotel.
Lu Shengnan narrowed her eyes and curled her lips slightly upward, looking like a fox spirit.
Since you participated in the bidding, you must hope that your fast food restaurant can win the bid!
You wouldn't pass up an opportunity to eliminate one opponent, would you?
Since that's the case, why not use this news to curry favor and exchange it for the fruits and vegetables produced in the greenhouse?
Drip—drip—
As Xu An expected, the phone was silent for less than three minutes before ringing twice again, displaying the familiar phone number on the screen.
"Hey, Mr. Lu." Xu An was interrupted by Lu Shengnan before he could finish speaking.
"Mr. Xu, I understand your restaurant is competing for the catering contract at the Shanghai Machinery Equipment Expo. I have some information related to this bidding process; I wonder if you'd be interested?"
