After hearing Xu An's request, Aunt Hong didn't ask any questions and immediately took out her phone to call Uncle Sun.
After listening to Aunt Hong's explanation, Uncle Sun rejected her suggestion almost without hesitation and tried to hang up the phone.
But at this critical moment, Xu An snatched the phone and threw out a bait that Uncle Sun could not refuse.
"I don't need you to prepare any special fruits and vegetables for me. If the quality inspectors at Shengli Supermarket still refuse to accept them tomorrow, I will buy the fruits and vegetables I need from them at a price that is 50 cents per pound higher than the vegetable vendors, and I will pay on the same day!"
Uncle Sun was indeed very resistant to making special preparations and signing contracts; but directly buying the fruits and vegetables that Shengli Supermarket refused to accept, and getting a price that was 50 cents per kilogram higher than the vegetable vendors' purchase price, was really hard to refuse. Uncle Sun nodded and agreed to Xu An's request.
Then, Xu An made a second request: to ask Uncle Sun to help put on a show, a show that could attract other greenhouse growers, which was the show just now.
The performance was a great success, and other greenhouse growers sold their own fruits and vegetables to Xu An. These fruits and vegetables together almost met the daily cooking needs of Xu's braised food shop.
"Boss, are you sure there's no problem if you don't sign a contract with them?" Wang Datou was puzzled by Xu An's actions.
"A contract will definitely be signed, but I won't go to them to sign it; I'll have them come to me and ask to sign a contract with me."
Xu An looked in the rearview mirror toward the greenhouse planting area. The other greenhouse growers had surrounded Sun Shutuan, the only person in the know, and were gesturing and talking about something.
Uncle Sun did not disappoint Xu An's expectations. After the other greenhouse growers gathered around to ask questions, he told them everything about Xu's braised food shop that he had memorized from the previous night.
"You don't know Xu's Fast Food, but do you know Xu's Braised Food? They only agreed to come here to buy fruits and vegetables after we pulled some strings. Yes, yes, it's the Xu's Braised Food near the Yinxing Office Building."
"The store alone can sell over a thousand kilograms a day, and many small vendors get their goods from them, often more than 1,500 or 1,600 kilograms a day. They also put their products online, like those peaches! That's another two or three thousand kilograms."
"The person who introduced us is the farmer who partners with Xu's Fast Food. They started working together when the store opened, and it's been two or three months now. At first, they only sold a little over a hundred kilograms a day, but now Xu's Fast Food alone sells over a thousand kilograms a day."
Everyone was curious about where Uncle Sun found this buyer, whether he was a subordinate of a wholesaler or an employee of a large company.
But as they listened, a small flame ignited in everyone's hearts, and a few ulterior motives suddenly arose.
This shop seems interesting!

Inside the office of Shengli Supermarket.
"How's the situation with the greenhouse growers?" the newly appointed manager of Shengli Supermarket asked, crossing his legs.
"They seem to have figured out our intentions, but they haven't caused any trouble. Tomorrow will be the third day, and if all goes well, we can terminate the cooperation."
"It's good that there was no trouble. Tomorrow, send more people over, some older but strong ones."
"yes."
"How's the situation at the farm?"
"We've already started adjusting the supply and demand relationship, and we'll be able to supply them on time and in the required quantity the day after tomorrow."
"That's good. Both of these things are important. Keep a close eye on them. If there's nothing else, you can go out now."
"OK."
After his subordinates left and he heard the crisp click of the office door lock, the new manager's smile grew even brighter, his eyes brimming with laughter.
Since the goal is to maintain the status quo, these extra procurement expenses definitely need to be cut. Therefore, the convenient "home delivery" service should naturally be discontinued. Victory Supermarket also has a bit too many staff; perhaps streamlining by reducing permanent employees or replacing them with temporary workers would achieve the same result.
Cashier, cross out stock clerk, cross out warehouse keeper, cross out
As each name on the list was crossed out, the new person in charge's smile grew increasingly manic. The pen moved faster and faster, and the number of names remaining on the list dwindled.
When the pen finally stopped, all the names on the three-page list had been crossed out, including the name of the 'General Manager of Shengli Supermarket'.
