Chapter 106
He explained to Director Liu, "Director Liu, the supply and marketing cooperative you're in charge of is the largest in Qinyang City. That's why we dared to provide you with around a hundred units to avoid putting pressure on you. The remaining units on this truck will be distributed to supply and marketing cooperatives in other smaller counties. Their combined supply only matches your quantity. You've provided both the venue and the location for this partnership, and we're already very grateful. How dare we add to your burden?"
Director Liu thought to himself: So you know this.
But it is undeniable that her mood has improved.
She breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "So that's how it is."
Lu Qin also breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Director Liu, I'm sure you didn't misunderstand. Our car is parked outside and can be seen at a glance. We chose you as our partner in the city, which shows our sincerity. Besides, our production really can't keep up. If we can't catch up, we hope Director Liu can understand."
Director Liu didn't take the matter to heart. No matter how late they were, they couldn't keep up with the demand. It would be the supply and marketing cooperative that had to beg them.
But later facts proved that it was really possible.
This is the strategy of Life Food Factory.
Lu Qin then said, "Well, if Director Liu and the others can still handle the supply and marketing cooperative, I'd like to move another twenty pieces for you. Is that okay with you?"
Sister Zhang behind him tugged at his sleeve.
Lu Qin shook his hand slightly backwards to indicate that everything was fine.
Director Liu noticed their movements with sharp eyes and felt that they were somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember what they were.
Lu Qin didn't believe that Director Liu hadn't seen what had just happened at the supply and marketing cooperative's door, so he explained, "Our factory director has given me some discretion. The maximum is twenty pieces, no more. Since Director Liu saw the car at the door, if you can take it, I'll give it to you. If not, we'll wait until next month."
His tone conveyed that he was afraid he would think too much.
Sister Zhang frowned and couldn't help but remind him, "Xiao Lu."
Lu Qin glanced at Director Liu and shook his head. "It's okay. I'll talk to the factory director. Besides, I see there are quite a few people at the supply and marketing cooperative. The next batch will really have to wait for half a month. Since Director Liu has chosen to cooperate with us, we should also be sincere."
"Director Liu, what do you think? We can just make a slight change to the contract quantity. We can lower the price for twenty pieces a bit and reprint it and sign it."
He had already made his attitude clear. Director Liu thought about it and decided not to suffer any loss. "If Secretary Lu doesn't make it difficult, we can still get twenty pieces."
"Hey! It really is a large supply and marketing cooperative." Lu Qin smiled and looked back at Sister Zhang. "Let's talk to Sister Lu and the others. Then we can just go to fewer small supply and marketing cooperatives."
Sister Zhang agreed reluctantly.
Next, they signed a new contract and added more quantities.
Now, no one has any complaints about the extra products in the back car.
The matter was resolved, and Director Liu's attitude improved. "Secretary Lu, you don't have to prepare dinner. I've reserved a table for you at the state-owned restaurant. Secretary Lu, you can take the others to eat and then return to the guesthouse."
"That's too much trouble for you. No, no, we can just go back and have something to eat." Lu Qin was flattered.
He had anticipated the rapid change in attitude.
"It's all booked. Just be there on time. If you don't know the way, ask someone to show you the way. It's getting late, so I'll go take a look outside."
Director Liu was not one to procrastinate. She hurried outside to check the situation and make sure her choice was correct.
Lu Qin knew that rejection was enough, so he accepted the offer and said, "Then I'll trouble Director Liu."
Director Liu turned around and went out, passing through the yard and returning to the supply and marketing cooperative. She took a look and saw that quite a few people were buying in batches of ten or five.
A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she thought that there were quite a few wealthy employees in Qinyang City.
"Make way, don't touch my blessing."
A woman comrade in front of her reminded her with a basket on her shoulder.
What kind of blessing is this? Director Liu leaned back with a serious expression and glanced at it. The festive red blessing was in line with her aesthetic taste at first glance.
The woman was carrying a basket full of things, which was covered with paper so that you couldn't tell what was inside. However, the "blessings" in her hands were real, as they couldn't fit into the basket, so she had to carry them with her.
As the woman walked out, many eyes fell on her hands. Whether literate or not, everyone thought the things in her hands were beautiful, especially since literate people were the majority.
The other customers who were just there to browse also asked curiously, "What is she talking about?"
"If you want to buy the 'Fuqi' product from the Laifu Food Factory, hurry up. I heard there aren't many left."
When Director Liu heard the inquiry, he felt that cooperation was the right thing to do. Winning twenty more pieces was even more right.
In the warehouse, after Director Liu left, Lu Qin put the contract into his briefcase.
Sister Zhang's face was full of smiles. "What we launched today has exceeded our expectations. How come you are so smart? You anticipated every step."
Lu Qin slung his briefcase over his shoulder, looking a bit older. He thought for a moment and then changed his stance and carried it directly. "Sister Zhang, you can't say that. First of all, our product has to be good, and secondly, we need the cooperation of the sisters. Otherwise, even my ideas won't cut it."
Secretary Zhang covered his mouth and laughed, "As expected of someone from the Propaganda Department, Secretary Lu is really good at talking."
Lu Qin: Innate.
"Everyone has worked hard today. Sister Zhang, let's talk to them when the time comes. Let's go to the state-owned restaurant for dinner. We've been here for two or three days, so we need to see if the state-owned restaurants in the city are different from those in the county."
"That's definitely different. I heard Qinyang City has a specialty, something called pickled duck."
Lu Qin exclaimed, "Let's go and try it."
At the same time, some people bought products from Laifu County and took them home.
Fang Juhua was one of them. She walked home with a basket on her shoulder and an excited look on her face.
She has two sons and two daughters-in-law. Except for the younger daughter-in-law who is a temporary worker in a textile factory, the others have formal jobs.
Fang Juhua was a competitive and top-notch student before she left her parents' home. She happened to meet her neighbor Gan Fengjiao, who was also a competitive and top-notch student.
If her family cooked meat, Gan Fengjiao would cook fish the next day. She would wear new clothes, and every few days, Gan Fengjiao would have a new silk scarf around her neck.
Who could accept this? The two women started to compete with each other secretly.
Today was different. Gan Fengjiao went out, and she happened to grab the lucky gift box. When she paid and left, she took a look and found that there were not many things left.
It was a unique thing, so there was no need to even think about it. At least in the short term, Gan Fengjiao wouldn't be able to surpass her. This was the first time she had seen this thing.
Her eldest daughter-in-law Tao Lan was at home making clay pot porridge for her youngest son. The porridge had been stewed all night and was thick and fragrant.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, she looked over and saw the excitement on her face at a glance, "Mom"
"Come over and help me get it, it's so heavy. The porridge I made yesterday is ready."
"It's ready. What did you buy, Mom?" Tao Lan reached out to help. She picked up the basket, which was quite heavy.
Fang Juhua acted like she had found a treasure and avoided letting her touch the blessing in her hand. "You'll know when you open it."
When Tao Lan opened the basket and saw the movement inside, she was surprised and curious for a moment, "What is this?"
Canned food or milk?
There was also the gift box in her mother-in-law's hand. It was the first time she saw it, and it looked quite nice.
Fang Juhua looked proud and said mysteriously, "I got this with great difficulty. When the time comes, only our family will have it. Oh, by the way, after the children finish their porridge, you can share the milk with the little ones at night."
Not only is it unique, but most importantly, it is what she wants. She is not stupid. She cannot buy milk on ordinary days. Although the milk from Life Food Factory is processed, she picked one out to taste and it tastes very good.
Therefore, it is also important that the product hits the point where consumers buy it.
"I'll see tomorrow if there's anyone willing to swap with me." She would swap with everyone except Gan Fengjiao's family.
She mainly wanted to show off.
On this day, many people participated in the tasting event by luck. The generous ones bought products from Life Food Factory, and the even more generous ones bought ten at once just for the free blessing.
Thanks to the unintentional promotion of the female comrades, the products of the Lai Fu Food Factory were quickly spread throughout Qinyang City.
