Chapter 257 Miss Lu, would it be convenient for us to talk in detail?
Just as Xu An and Li Sixin reached a preliminary agreement on cooperation, Xu An's usually quiet phone suddenly vibrated, with message notifications ringing incessantly.
The buttocks, which had just lifted a centimeter off the stool, landed back on it. The phone was taken out of the pocket, and the eyes fell on the screen, where a large number of messages had suddenly flooded into the Xu's Fast Food Restaurant employee group chat.
"Boss, give me ten packs, my mom's planning to give some to relatives to try." This is a message from Tang Wen.
"Boss, I need thirty packs. I have a lot of regular customers. If you can't bring that many, then ten packs. If that's not possible, five packs will do." This was sent by Aunt He.
"Boss, I'll take five packs."
【boss......】
One pack is 60 grams, ten packs is 1.2 jin, 54 packs is 32.4 jin, rounding it up to 35 jin.
"Secretary Li, could you please help me purchase thirty-five jin of mushrooms?"
"There are quite a few kinds of mushrooms. Mr. Xu, would you like a little of all kinds or just one or two kinds?"
"I'll take a little of everything, the more variety the better."
Failed supermarket office.
"The small family will consider it carefully and tell you their decision at 4 PM tonight. If the number of applicants is at least seventy, everyone who applies will sign a contract; if the number of applicants exceeds seventy, the decision will be made by drawing lots! The meeting is now in session. If you want to know how to apply for a special loan, you can't come and ask you!"
Afterwards, whenever there was a meeting outside the village, Secretary Li would at most delay the notification by one day. Could it be that this particular meeting was held so hastily and slowly, and had nothing to do with the two businessmen from Shanghai? Could it be that Secretary Li hadn't yet managed to sabotage the cooperation with those two businessmen?
"Zuo Taishu, did he go to the outer world yesterday?" As soon as he sat down, someone next to Li Sixin nudged his shoulder and asked loudly.
Mr. Xu paused for a moment, then took a deep breath and continued speaking.
The moment the words "loan" and "greenhouse" appeared, the room erupted in murmurs.
Cough cough—cough—
However, I tried to preserve a small portion of the root system when digging it up, and I kept it in a shady place and replenished the water in time before bringing it back. I also did not find any mistakes in the previous planting, watering and other steps. So where exactly is the problem?
"but!"
As expected, the echoes of that sentence still lingered in the air, and the villagers' discussions rose and fell.
He lifted the covers and got out of bed, walked to the slightly open window, and looked through the screen towards the direction of Li Laowu's cellar.
"It's possible, but winter is coming late. Planting now would be a dead end, how could there be no harvest!"
No matter how he thought about it, Zuo Taishu felt like he had reached a dead end. He couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried. He tossed and turned all night without finding an answer. As the sky grew cooler, drowsiness washed over him, and he finally closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.
The dreaded turning point was always absent. As soon as those two words were uttered, the atmosphere in the audience became solemn, and the sound of people breathing decreased by eight-tenths.
"Afterwards, we should have told the young man that there's no policy outside of Hongshan City, so he can't apply for a special loan from outside the city to build a greenhouse..."
You sense that General Manager Luo is about to target you, to kick you out of Qiansheng Group completely, because you explicitly approved of Qiansheng Group investing 40% of its profits in real estate... That's the ultimate reason you were relegated to the failed supermarket...
Beep beep beep————
"Hey, stop talking! You had seventy-one plants! And only eight survived. That's outrageous. No wonder they're so hard to find outside the mountains. That 'Ghost-Seeing Sorrow' is really delicate!" The man who had dug up the fewest plants and had laughed the most bitterly back then now had the longest drooping face.
Now, a little over a minute has passed since the meeting was held, and many villagers are carrying wooden stools of varying heights, walking in twos and threes toward the ancestral hall.
The moment the words fell, one-eighth of the audience rushed towards Boss Xu, one-eighth remained resolute, and one-eighth left the scene...
No sooner had he finished speaking than Zuo Taishu was pulled up by several people in the distance and made to sit back down in his chair.
When he arrived, the hall was still crowded, and the seats were not yet full even near the loudspeaker. Li Sixin could only choose a seat closer to the loudspeaker and wait for the meeting to end.
Each number, like a brand in steel, is etched into the cerebral cortex of everyone, wandering through their thoughts, echoing in their ears, lingering long afterward...
“Yesterday, Zuo Taishu did the math for you. Dried Ghost Seed Worm costs 87 yuan per jin. One Ghost Seed Worm can yield two jin. About 400 plants can grow on one mu of land. That doesn’t mean that the yield on one mu in half a year can reach 1,800 jin, with an income of nearly 70,000 yuan!”
"Fellow villagers, I'm sorry to have suddenly summoned you all to this meeting. There's nothing important to say. I'm sure many of you have heard about it, but you still have to tell me from the beginning."
Another damn plot twist has occurred.
But no sooner had he closed his eyes than the call to a meeting began.
He was probably trying to reason with Li Laowu's villagers, but most of them just let it go in one ear and out the other. Now, Boss Xu is only talking about data. He's saying things like, "Zuo Taishu's business is small, his daily income is low, he has few employees, and his income before the cooperation is finalized is low..."
"Yeah, I saw it." Zuo Taishu yawned slightly, then asked absentmindedly, "What's wrong?"
