He placed the document on the pile, pointed to the last column with "Xu's Fast Food Restaurant," and said with displeasure, "Xu's Fast Food Restaurant? Is this some leader's relative?"
“No, this is a fast food restaurant that we contacted on our own initiative.” Gao Baolin quickly explained, “This fast food restaurant was featured on the local TV station in Shanghai last week and was selected as an ‘excellent’ fast food restaurant in Shanghai. Its price, taste and portion size all meet our requirements for this meal supply.”
"Oh? A local TV station in Shanghai?" The old man's voice carried a hint of deeper meaning.
Seeing this, Gao Baolin knew what the old man was thinking, so she simply searched for the documentary "Visiting Fast Food Restaurants" on the local TV station in Shanghai on her computer, clicked play, dragged the progress bar to the clip of Xu's Fast Food Restaurant, and explained it to the old man while it was playing.
"This is a program that was temporarily planned by the local TV station in Haishi and the Haishi Food Supervision Department. The fast food restaurants were selected randomly, and all six selected fast food restaurants were filmed on the same day."
As the video played, the old man's tense expression gradually relaxed, and he even nodded at the end.
"Send a notice to these six stores tomorrow, telling them to prepare their materials and come to bid the day after tomorrow. It's a six-way competition, a fair competition." The old man lowered his head, his eyes looking at Gao Baolin through his glasses: "I want absolutely fair competition. The store that wins the bid must completely meet our needs. You know how important this expo is. If we mess it up, this old man who's almost retired doesn't care, but you guys, hehe!"
After letting out a cold laugh, the old man slowly walked away.
After watching the old man leave, Gao Baolin sat back down, hesitated for a moment, then took out her phone and sent a message to a phone number that had no name or contact information.
The bidding will be held the day after tomorrow; fair competition will prevail.
Which hotels participated in the bidding?
'Jinxiu Hotel, Black Swan Hotel, Xu's Fast Food Restaurant.'
'Could Jinxiu and Xu's Fast Food have a little time to spare?'
Gao Baolin paused for a moment while replying to the message, struggling internally for a full five seconds before typing "Act according to regulations" into the message box. Just as she was about to send it, a new message came from the other end.
Two thousand.
He paused again, hesitated for two seconds, then quickly typed "Okay" and sent it.
After receiving the message "Happy cooperation" from the other party, Gao Baolin deleted the entire message conversation from her inbox and emptied her trash can.
Xujia Village.
Aunt Hong was sitting on the sofa watching TV when her cell phone, which was placed to the side, suddenly rang.
"Hello, who is this?"
"Hello, I am Lu Shengnan, the person in charge of Shengli Supermarket. Is it convenient for you to talk now?" A cool voice came from the other end of the phone.
Victory Supermarket? What do you want with me? I haven't signed a cooperation agreement with Victory Supermarket!
Although that's what she was thinking, Aunt Hong still politely said, "Yes, is it convenient? Is there anything I can help you with?"
"We understand that the quality of the fruits and vegetables produced in your greenhouse is quite high. Would you be interested in cooperating with Shengli Supermarket and supplying the fruits and vegetables produced in your greenhouse to Shengli Supermarket?" After saying this, Lu Shengnan thought of the purchase price of Xu's Fast Food Restaurant, gritted her teeth and said, "The purchase price here can be 70 cents per pound on top of the purchase price of the vegetable vendors."
It costs 70 cents per pound, which is 20 cents more per pound than at Xu's Fast Food Restaurant. If you eat 200 pounds a day, that's 40 yuan. That's 1,200 yuan a month and 14,400 yuan a year.
Tsk tsk!
After finishing her mental calculations, Aunt Hong couldn't help but sigh, "Victory Supermarket really goes all out!"
However, given Shengli Supermarket's previous inconsistent behavior with other farmers, Aunt Hong had only a pitiful 0.01% trust in Shengli Supermarket and directly refused to go through with it.
"I'm sorry, I already have a stable partner. You'd better look for someone else."
"We are very sincere on this side."
Before Lu Shengnan could finish speaking, Aunt Hong hung up the phone, and a busy tone came from the receiver.
Having anticipated this situation, Lu Shengnan simply sighed and dialed a second phone number.
"Hello, I am Lu Shengnan, the person in charge of Shengli Supermarket. Are you Mr. Lin Xingtao?"
"Yes, would you consider cooperating with Shengli Supermarket? We can offer vegetable vendors the purchase price plus 0.8 yuan per jin (0.5 kg)."
Beep beep beep————
The call was disconnected again.
Lu Shengnan was not discouraged and dialed a third phone number.
"Hello."
I dialed the phone numbers of Aunt Hong, Uncle Lin, and Hu Juan, but the responses were either rejections or they hung up on me.
Why!
Lu Shengnan couldn't help but sigh. The previous breach of contract was too egregious, and now everyone was afraid that Shengli Supermarket would breach the contract again.
In addition, given that Shengli Supermarket's current business situation does seem rather poor, growers with stable partners are unlikely to consider Shengli Supermarket.
My gaze fell on the fourth phone number in the document. This was the only remaining greenhouse grower in the Xujia Village planting area who had not eradicated his crops.
"Hello, I am Lu Shengnan, the person in charge of Shengli Supermarket. Are you Mr. Yan Peiliang?"
"Yes, the purchase price per pound is the vegetable vendor's purchase price plus 80 cents per pound."
"If you're worried about the contract, I can guarantee that the penalty for breach of contract will be doubled."
"Yes, the contracts for other growers remain unchanged."
"Okay, Mr. Yan, I wish us a pleasant cooperation."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Shengnan breathed a sigh of relief, her slender body sinking into the soft sofa, which enveloped her tightly, giving her a rare sense of security.
Although there is only one household, they have eight greenhouses, which is enough!
