Chapter 113 Happy Cooperation with Friends
Several sapling merchants looked at Gu Xixi expectantly.
It's like a traveler who has walked a long way in the desert and finally sees a pool of clear water.
However, Gu Xixi's words came to an abrupt end.
She covered her mouth and yawned. "I was so tired from traveling the past two days that I still don't have much energy. I have to go back and get some sleep."
The businessmen looked at each other in amazement.
Of course, they knew the value of the ideas proposed by Gu Xixi.
If any one of them is implemented, it will easily change the situation in which they have been stuck for more than a decade without any progress.
What if I learn all of them?
A huge leap that broke through, reshaped, and turned the world upside down? A great achievement that has not been achieved after several generations?
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't suppress their inner excitement and their hands trembled slightly.
It seemed that Gu Xixi was almost approaching the mule cart.
An Qingyu reminded quietly, "The people of Daye believe in the boy who brings wealth."
"Miss Gu should be the fortune-bringing boy sent to us by the true God."
"Everyone, if you let her go today, you may never have a chance in this life, oh no, in the next life, or the life after that."
The others seemed to have just woken up from a dream and hurriedly chased after him.
As soon as Gu Xixi untied the reins, she was surrounded by several burly men.
They stared at her with serious expressions, "Miss Gu, now that you are here, don't even think about leaving!"
Gu Xixi frowned, quietly reached into the small cloth bag, and tightly grasped the medicine bottle.
"What are you guys doing?"
"Could it be that you built the road to Yunling County?"
Although she was confident in the bait she had thrown.
But it was rumored that merchants from the Western Regions were very domineering in Yunling County. If they didn't want to pay the price, it was not impossible that they would force her to provide technical guidance.
An Qingyu noticed that the atmosphere was not right and quickly pushed a few of his companions away.
He put on a smile and nodded, fearing that his kindness was not good enough and would make Gu Xixi even more unhappy.
"Don't get me wrong, Miss Gu. We are not going to stop you by force."
“We are trying to keep you!”
An Qingyu raised his hands and winked at everyone. "Smile, smile quickly!"
The others suddenly realized and quickly started laughing. Their smiles were all kinds of strange and it was obvious that they were trying very hard to make that expression.
"Yes, we want to keep the girl!"
"Your last name is Gu, so let's call you Boss Gu! Boss Gu, would you honor us by allowing us to host a banquet for you?"
"People always have to eat. No matter how tired Boss Gu is, he has to eat before resting?"
Gu Xixi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and loosened her grip on the medicine bottle.
"No merit, no reward. Please don't bother me. I'll take my leave now."
If you want to keep someone without showing some sincerity first, it won't be that easy.
Just as she turned around, An Qingyu shouted, "We sold the fruit trees that Boss Gu wanted!"
This time, no one in the Chamber of Commerce objected. Instead, they looked at Gu Xixi with a smile and nodded continuously.
Gu Xixi stood still, and suddenly the lion opened his mouth, "Would you like to sell me the Pinellia saplings?"
Several people nodded again in unison.
Boss Geshu said generously, "No problem! You can dig from whichever one you like!"
Gu Xixi continued, "All the saplings I want must be at least two years old."
Boss Yuan laughed and said, "How difficult is that? Look at our area, our strength is there for all to see!"
Gu Xixi suddenly opened her mouth and said, "But I've changed my mind about the total number of saplings."
"I want a thousand."
Several people were shocked at first, then looked embarrassed and looked at each other.
It was the first time they encountered a customer who wanted so many saplings at once!
After a while, Boss Geshu said with a smile, "One thousand trees is not a small number."
"Let's not stand here in the cold wind. Why don't we find a place to sit down and talk in detail?"
Gu Xixi nodded and agreed. "Okay."
Everyone in the Chamber of Commerce was overjoyed and vied with each other to show their hospitality.
"If you're hungry, then eat! I'll send someone to the restaurant to reserve the best private room!"
"Boss Gu, please get on my carriage. It's spacious and warm. I can just squeeze into Xiao An's carriage."
Gu Xixi responded to everyone's kindness one by one and still drove the mule cart back to the county town by herself.
In the private room of the restaurant, because Gu Xixi insisted on not drinking any alcohol, everyone drank tea instead of wine. After two drinks, the contract had been negotiated and drafted by both parties.
An Qingyu said, "There are a total of 1,000 two to three year old Pinellia saplings. They will be transported to Huachidu Village, Qingtian County by the Yunling County Nursery Chamber of Commerce after Gu Xixi inspects them on the spot between late March and early April."
"When the time comes, Mr. Gu will pay 50% of the purchase price first as a deposit."
“Repayment is for one year.”
"In addition, if the guidance provided by Mr. Gu, the bagging technology and the alpine nursery breeding technology can show initial results, the remaining 50% of the payment will only require another 10% payment."
"The remaining 40% of the payment will be used as compensation for Mr. Gu's technical guidance."
The contract also had an appendix, which was densely written all over the paper.
All of them were narrated by Gu Xixi, showing the positive progress and changes in the bagging and nursery propagation of the Pinellia ternata.
Use this as the final assessment standard to avoid unnecessary arguments.
In other words, both parties have no objection, and as long as what is stated in the appendix is met, Gu Xixi will not have to repay 40% of the payment for the goods.
But if it can't be achieved.
Not only did Gu Xixi have to empty her family's savings, she also had to take on debts.
But she has confidence in herself.
The Pinellia fruit of this era is the apple that people in later generations are familiar with.
Modern planting technology has become quite sophisticated.
Not to mention that Country C has been the world's largest apple exporter for many years?
During the past six months since Gu Xixi traveled through the book, she has been investigating and testing the soil, water, and climate of Huachidu Village.
The climate in the village is very suitable for growing Pinellia ternata.
In addition, the soil composition is completely compatible, and the final planting effect may be better than that of Yunling County.
Of course, Gu Xixi kept this a little secret for the time being.
Both parties signed the contract in duplicate and kept it separately.
The important matters had been settled, and the atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became relaxed.
Boss Geshu called in a few Hu girls to play the piano, sing and dance.
"Boss Gu, from now on we will have a long-term cooperative relationship!"
"I believe that with you here, our Yunling Seedling Chamber of Commerce will definitely grow bigger and bigger!"
"I use tea instead of wine to wish us prosperity in the future, great wealth!"
Gu Xixi clinked glasses with several bosses, "Happy cooperation, and may you make a fortune."
Afterwards, Gu Xixi's trip to Yunling County was forced to be postponed for two days.
Because all kinds of visiting cards came one after another, from the Seedling Chamber of Commerce to other chambers of commerce and other Western Region caravans.
Banquets, inspections, social invitations, etc.
Gu Xixi was overwhelmed and although she was exhausted, she still enjoyed it.
She bought cucumber seeds, ornamental tomato seedlings, grape seedlings, coriander seeds...
An Qingyu regarded himself as Boss Gu's good friend and took the initiative to act as a guide, accompanying Gu Xixi everywhere.
"A friend as beautiful as a rose."
"Now can you tell me why you bought so many fruit trees at once?"
