Chapter 50 (Catching Bugs)
Section Chief Wang talked with Zhang Baosheng as they walked, introducing him to the department store.
Seeing that their knitwear was popular, Zhang Baosheng felt more confident and spoke less nervously.
Zhou Jiani lagged behind and walked side by side with Qiu Zeming.
Qiu Zeming whispered, "Comrade Xiao Zhou, I have some good news for you. My friend in the capital has helped me find out the current location of the plastic greenhouse team's experiment. Let's write to them together when we get back and ask for their advice."
Zhou Jiani's eyes lit up as she said happily, "That's fantastic! When we get back to you, let's ask the village's best farmers about planting. We're definitely not as professional as they are."
Of course she knows how to grow crops, but if she acts too knowledgeable, it will be difficult to explain.
Qiu Zeming nodded.
Zhou Jiani felt the vibration in her palm and snatched a red envelope without making a sound.
There was no movement from the stewing cup. From a little after eight o'clock till now, she had received three red envelopes, earning more than twenty cents, but there was no movement from the stewing cup.
After grabbing the red envelope, she waited and looked, and then group purchase information popped up. She closed her palms and went back to the purchasing office.
Section Chief Wang asked them to sit down. He checked all the receipts, signed them one by one after confirming that they were correct, and then wrote a new receipt, this time stamping it on the spot.
Last time, Zhou Jiani asked Qiu Zeming to take the documents back and have them stamped with the commune's seal. This was no longer necessary after this cooperation. As long as the brigade's official seal was stamped and Zhang Baosheng signed it, it would be done on the spot.
However, she still felt a little regretful. She thought that if there was no problem with the trial sale, she would be able to get the formal contract. She didn't expect that she would have to inspect it again.
She was so excited after the last deal was done. Section Chief Wang said that if there were no problems with the trial sale, they could officially cooperate. She subconsciously thought that only one inspection was needed and did not ask in detail.
But this time I got a more specific answer, and I feel more at ease.
After signing the order, I went to the finance department and spent about half an hour there. I received 50% of the payment for the previous batch of goods. The remaining 50% can be settled at any time after the goods are sold.
After returning to the South Building, I took them around for a walk and without any further delay, we quickly went to the Second Department Store.
It had already been agreed upon verbally, and there was no difficulty with the 200 yuan price. Section Chief Xiao took the samples and went out. I don't know which leader he reported to, and when he came back, he had someone deliver it directly to the woven goods counter, and the price was based on the 100 yuan price.
Director Xiao smiled and said, "We'll check the sales feedback over the next two days. If there's no problem, we'll contact your commune and place an order."
Zhou Jiani smiled and said, "Don't worry, don't worry. The First Department Store has ordered 100 baskets, and with the order from our local county supply and marketing cooperative, we'll be busy for ten days or half a month."
Zhang Baosheng glanced at Zhou Jiani and thought that he had successfully delivered the goods to the county town according to her instructions last time, but there had been no movement there since then. In addition, he had received an order from the provincial capital and was too busy to handle it, so he didn't ask again. He wondered if the county supply and marketing cooperative was not selling well or what, and there was no follow-up. Now he only had orders from the First Department Store.
Of course, he would not undermine Comrade Xiao Zhou.
Director Xiao said, "Young comrade, didn't you say last time that the First Department Store had ordered forty?" Thinking he had caught Zhou Jiani's scheming, he gently teased, "Why? Orders under a hundred are so fast?"
Zhou Jiani said with a smile, "The order for forty baskets was placed last time, and the delivery has been completed today. The new order for one hundred baskets was placed on the spot by Section Chief Wang after observing for a moment at the counter."
She looked at Zhang Baosheng, who took out a neatly folded receipt from his inner pocket and handed it to her. Zhou Jiani unfolded it and let Director Xiao take a look before putting it away. She smiled and said, "I wouldn't dare joke about something as serious as an order."
Director Xiao was a little surprised.
He thought the style of the basket was unique, and several colleagues in the purchasing department also thought it was good, adding some fresh blood to the woven products department.
But it shouldn't be to this extent, right?
It's not a good deal to rush in. Faced with Director Xiao's unexpected implicit doubts, Zhou Jiani did not explain any further. After saying a few polite words, she said she wanted to go shopping in the hall, took the receipts for the dozen or so baskets, and left the purchasing office with Zhang Baosheng and Qiu Zeming.
Zhang Baosheng was very nervous about the order and confirmed it quietly, "Xiao Zhou, do they know how to contact us?"
He was worried that he wouldn't know how to contact them when he wanted to cooperate.
Zhou Jiani calmly spread out her palm and took a look, then said, "I'll keep it. Don't worry."
Zhang Baosheng nodded and planned to go shopping in the Second Department Store.
Zhou Jiani said to Qiu Zeming, "You guys go shopping, I'll go look at the woven goods."
Zhang Baosheng also reacted and wanted to go see if anyone had any questions about the baskets. Zhou Jiani smiled and said, "Captain, you have to have confidence in our products. There's no need to be so nervous. I'll go over and take a look and then find you. You can go shopping calmly."
Qiu Zeming also smiled and said, "Whatever the situation, Comrade Xiao Zhou can handle it completely. Let's go over there and take a look. Don't you still need to help them carry something?"
Zhang Baosheng didn't insist anymore and went around with Qiu Zeming.
Zhou Jiani turned and walked towards the weaving counter, staring at the group.
I just grabbed another red envelope and marked it as a stewing cup, ready to start a group buy.
A string of beautifully taken pictures flashed by, and information about the stewing cup popped up.
[XXX Quick Stewing Cup, a major domestic brand, 316 stainless steel, non-plugged porridge cooking tool, comes with cutlery, a beautiful insulation bag, and both electronic and paper recipes. We've secured a special price for everyone today...]
It’s the same brand of thermos cup I bought last time. The group purchase price for 800ml is 79, and the group purchase price for 1000ml is 109. Zhou Jiani bought two 1000ml ones, one red and one blue.
The payment was successful, I breathed a sigh of relief.
Back in the group, the speed of the chain conversation is not slow at all.
Interspersed in the middle were the mackerel groups opened by other group leaders. If you look up, there was also an exquisite sports water cup, but neither of them was what Zhou Jiani needed.
She clasped her hands together and went to the woven goods cabinet. As soon as she saw it, she smiled.
The teller here was saying, "We're out of Yuanbao. We only received four in total, and there's only one lace one left..."
Before she could finish her words, an old lady said urgently, "I want the lace, I want it." She held the lace basket tightly and refused to let go. "Comrade, please give me the ticket."
The teller grabbed the receipt and began writing it, saying to the customer on the other side, "These two slanted ones just arrived today. We only have a few left, otherwise they'll be gone soon."
A customer pointed to a corner and shouted, "Aren't you hiding one? I saw it all."
The teller rolled his eyes in anger and said, "That was reserved by someone else. It's already owned!"
Who ordered it? Of course she kept it for herself.
Zhou Jiani raised her eyebrows, put her hands behind her back and walked away proudly to meet up with Zhang Baosheng and the others, and reported the good news by the way.
Zhang Baosheng had just grabbed a blanket and was about to go buy sheets when he heard this and said happily, "Then should we go tell that director?"
Zhou Jiani smiled and said, "Just go shopping calmly. Once you report to the counter, they will contact you."
With an order of 100 to back it up, the harvest on this trip will be considerable, and an order of 200 will come eventually.
At this moment, he became even calmer.
Zhang Baosheng thought about it and it made sense. Their processing workshop was not very large at the moment, so it would take them a while to finish an order of 100 yuan.
Their woven baskets are so good, there's no need to worry about not being able to stock them for 200 yuan.
Stroll around steadily.
As they strolled leisurely, Director Xiao put down the phone in his office and said speechlessly, "Old Wang, this is so unkind!"
Others laughed and asked, "What's wrong?"
Director Xiao pointed at the phone and said angrily, "He actually told me that the woven baskets weren't selling well and told me not to place any orders. If it weren't for his arrogant tone, I would have almost believed him."
He said angrily again: "This old Wang."
She stood up and walked to the lobby, approaching the woven goods counter. She poked her head out from the edge of the crowded crowd and asked, "Xiao Song, are the dozen or so newly delivered woven baskets on display yet?"
When I asked, I casually glanced around and didn't see the ten or so baskets, so I thought the teller didn't put them out.
Then the teller said, "Boss, they're sold out. When will the next batch arrive?"
The customers gathered around and asked, "Why did you buy so little?"
"You're the boss, right? Boss, when are the new products coming?"
Amidst the clamor, Director Xiao raised his voice and asked, "Are they sold out? Are you talking about those dozen baskets that Zhang Ming sent over not long ago?"
The teller nodded: "Yes, sold out!"
Director Xiao gestured to confirm the style again, was stunned for a moment, turned his head suddenly to look around, ran around the floor quickly, made sure that he was not looking at the three people, and quickly went up to the second floor.
Finally, we found Zhou Jiani and the others on the fourth floor.
The three were invited back to the office.
When he came out of the Second Department Store again, Zhang Baosheng's mouth was almost stretched to his ears.
The Second Department Store also placed an order for one hundred baskets and expressed the hope that a batch of goods would be delivered as soon as possible.
Zhou Jiani smiled and said, "When we deliver the 100th unit, we will try to spare 30 or 50 units for your company. We will contact you one day in advance."
"Then... I wish us a happy cooperation!"
As she walked out, Zhou Jiani was still thinking with regret that she should have contacted a photographer from a photo studio and asked them to come over and take a few photos. She would then post them on the wall of their workshop so that it would look good when leaders came to visit.
Next time, when she signs the formal contract, she will do the same.
Zhang Baosheng didn't know that Xiao Zhou had planned something even more impressive for her. She was just about to ask her, "Xiao Zhou, let's go find a restaurant to eat first. Afterwards, we'll go to the police station to inquire about the progress of the investigation. Then we'll go to your neighborhood committee and thank them. Then, we'll go to the station to see what time we can buy tickets."
Zhou Jiani smiled and said, "There's no need to make a special trip to the neighborhood committee. I promised to write a thank-you letter once I'm done. They can post it on the bulletin board for everyone to see. If we just go quietly to express our gratitude, it won't be as effective as a thank-you letter."
She was afraid to go to the neighborhood committee. Knowing that it would not affect their cooperation, the neighborhood committee would do some ideological work on them on the spot in preparation for mediation.
Zhang Baosheng didn't think too much about it. He thought that since a thank-you letter would be better, he might as well go back and write it. He nodded and said, "Okay, let's go eat first."
