The types of fruits and vegetables grown in Hu Juan's greenhouse are similar to those of Aunt Hong's, and the quality is almost the same, showing that they are carefully tended.
After inspecting every type of fruit and vegetable in the greenhouse, Xu An nodded in satisfaction and said, "The quality of the fruits and vegetables is very good. Sister-in-law, did Aunt Hong tell you about the purchasing requirements for Xu's Fast Food Restaurant?"
Hu Juan is naturally confident in the quality of her own fruits and vegetables, but now Xu An is in charge of purchasing them, so whether or not she wants them depends on Xu An's approval.
Hearing Xu An praise his own fruits and vegetables and then inquire about cooperation matters, he knew that the inspection had passed and immediately beamed with joy.
“Sister Hong has already explained it to me. I have no objections to the purchase price and standards; they are quite reasonable.”
“Alright.” Xu An took out a contract and handed it to Hu Juan: “Sister-in-law, take a look at the contract. If there are no problems, let’s sign it and start supplying goods tomorrow.”
"Okay, okay!"
Hu Juan took the contract but did not sign it immediately. Although she trusted Aunt Hong a lot, friendship was friendship and business was business, and signing a contract could not be taken lightly.
Starting from the first page, carefully review every clause of the contract, and only sign your name and affix your fingerprint after confirming that there are no problems.
"It's a pleasure to cooperate." Xu An took the contract, signed it, and pressed his fingerprint on it, thus concluding the agreement.
The contract is made in duplicate, with each party holding one copy.
"It's a pleasure to cooperate with you. I wish you a prosperous business!" Hu Juan smiled happily, her face no longer showing any hesitation or worry.
The group turned and walked towards the entrance of the greenhouse, where three people were standing. Judging from their calm and collected demeanor, they had probably been standing there for quite some time.
Hu Juan's joyful expression froze, turning into an awkward yet polite laugh: "It's so hot in the middle of the afternoon, why did you suddenly come over?"
"We haven't seen you for the past two days, so we thought we'd come and find you to see what you're thinking." The old man had a mocking smile on his face. "We didn't expect that you would choose neither Shengli Supermarket nor the vegetable vendor, but instead find a business partner. We've caught you red-handed, haven't we?"
As he spoke, the old man looked at Aunt Hong, a hint of reproach in his eyes: "Xiudie, we've treated you well, haven't we? We've known each other for so many years. It's not good for you to keep such a good thing to yourself and not tell everyone!"
Before Aunt Hong could refute, the old man looked at Xu An with a big smile and said with satisfaction, "They say that heroes emerge from among the young. This boss is truly a young hero. He is so young yet he can stand on his own. He is remarkable."
As he spoke, the old man walked into the greenhouse, quickly and firmly grasped Xu An's hand, and pulled him outside.
"Boss, come and take a look at our greenhouses. Our fruits and vegetables are just as good as theirs, if not better."
Unable to refuse the old man's enthusiasm, Xu An had no choice but to follow him to see the greenhouses of the three of them.
The three of them have a total of sixteen greenhouses, with a wider variety of vegetables than Aunt Hong and her partner, and the quality of their produce is just as good.
Xu An felt a pang of regret looking at it.
These companies will most likely choose to cooperate with Shengli Supermarket, since the purchase price they offer is quite attractive.
What a pity that all these high-quality fruits and vegetables will be destroyed!
Especially knowing that Shengli Supermarket was a scam, her regret grew even stronger, but she was powerless to do anything about it.
With sixteen greenhouses, the daily output ranges from at least 500 jin to over 2,000 jin, which is more than Xu's Fast Food Restaurant can handle.
After showing Xu An all the greenhouses, the old man asked him directly, "Boss, how is the quality of your fruits and vegetables? Is there any possibility of cooperation?"
"The quality of the fruits and vegetables is quite good." Xu An gave the old man a thumbs up without hesitation: "I would also like to cooperate with you, but my shop is just a small fast food restaurant. Your production volume is too high, and I can't handle it."
The old man was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he raised his hand and rubbed his face twice.
This script is wrong!
Xiudie and Hujuan's families produce two to three hundred catties a day, which normally would require a medium to large restaurant to consume, but this small business owner actually runs a fast food restaurant.
The old man, still somewhat unwilling to give up, asked, "Does the boss have any plans to open a new store? If so, why not consider buying fruits and vegetables from us?"
"There are no plans to do that for the time being," Xu An said softly.
In fact, Xu An also wanted to open a branch, but he didn't have the money! After finishing the website and purchasing a batch of equipment, he was penniless and it was impossible to open a branch in the short term. He would have to wait at least half a month until he had about 10,000 yuan in hand before he could consider it.
Disappointment appeared on the faces of all three, and finally the old man spoke.
"Does the boss know any restaurant owners who need to purchase fruits and vegetables?"
Hmm... other restaurant owners...
Jin Dayong, the owner of the delicious restaurant, is in jail. It's unknown how long he'll be there, but he won't be able to operate for at least half a month. PASS.
The owner of the fast food restaurant next door quit and is planning to set up a street stall. PASS.
The other shops were also doing very little business. They probably didn't even need 20 or 30 kilograms of fruits and vegetables a day. With such a small demand, it would be easier to just sell the vegetables to the vendors directly. So, they were still out of luck.
After seeing Xu An shake his head again, the old man finally stopped talking, and his spirits visibly weakened.
Xu An couldn't make empty promises to everyone. If he made a promise but couldn't keep it, it would delay their opportunity to cooperate with Shengli Supermarket. In that case, it was hard to say whether they would feel like he was the one who hindered their fortune.
