Hearing this, the three of them were stunned for a moment, and then looked at each other in surprise. Their excitement was simply uncontrollable!
But it’s not surprising. After all, this news means they can make money again!
Yang Gui immediately asked, "Xiao Ye, did your friends tell you how many chickens, ducks, and geese they want? Or do they want all of them?"
Ye Zhiqiu explained with a smile, "They should be able to get them all, because they have a lot of connections and can help with purchasing for quite a few companies. As for the price, what do you think is a good price?"
Upon hearing this, the three of them immediately began to discuss. The price couldn't be lowered much further. This was because chickens, ducks, and geese weren't like fish. Fish, because they weren't kept for long, could only be priced so much lower.
According to their current prices, ordinary hens are only 2.4 yuan, and fatter ones are 2.5 yuan. Ducks, regardless of gender, are 3 yuan each, and geese are priced by weight, as goose meat is more fetching a high price.
After discussing for a while, the three of them were still unsure and could only ask Ye Zhiqiu, "Xiao Ye, this live poultry thing is a bit difficult to handle! The villagers won't agree to lower the price, and we all think it's a bit troublesome. Do you have any suggestions?"
This was truly baffling. What advice could I offer? It wasn't me selling the goods, yet they were asking me about it! To be frank, most of the lowered prices were the commissions earned by the three of them!
What he and He Yongjun earned was the difference between the price they paid for the goods and the selling price.
Ye Zhiqiu thought for a long time before finally saying, "Why don't you guys bring up the issue of setting up a neighborhood office and confiscating the poultry? Oh, and about that pig issue, why don't you sell them off as well this time?"
Secretary Wang sighed and said, "Well, let's go and talk it over tomorrow and see if we can get everyone to agree! Regarding the pig issue, there seems to be some progress!
We'll try to get it done in the next two days, and then we'll sell you the two sows, the boar, and the litter of piglets that weren't reported, all at the price of pork!"
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and felt much better. Thinking about how much help several people had given him, he simply gave the three of them an idea!
"How about this? Go find the villagers tomorrow and count the number of chickens, ducks, and geese! If anyone asks, just say they've been asked to do so, but don't tell them why. Let them guess for themselves!"
When someone gets impatient and forces you to speak, be a little more ambiguous. You absolutely cannot say things like "the higher-ups are going to confiscate your property," because that gives you something to talk about.
After the subdistrict office is established, if the other villages' belongings aren't confiscated, you'll be in a passive position! You can only guide them to think this way, and when everyone gets anxious, you can say come to me for a discussion!
I must ask everyone clearly whether they agree to sell and share the profits! If they agree, I will then say that there is no shortage of poultry and I can only buy them at a lower price!
The specific price will be announced tomorrow night when my friend comes over, and we can work out a price that satisfies everyone."
"Okay, let's do as Xiaoye said!"
"That's right, there's really no better way!"
The matter was settled, and the few of them happily pulled Ye Tianya over and had a drink together.
Ye Tianya listened for a long time and was a little shocked. His son was too sinister!
In fact, after a long time of thinking, the villagers had figured out the price-cutting issue. No one would come to criticize him, only Yang Gui and the others!
Because his son was just packing things normally from beginning to end!
Ye Tianya was really speechless about this. He had never taught him these things, but why did his son change more and more as he grew older?
After the discussion was over, they had another drink and then started to disperse. Ye Zhiqiu saw the three off.
Not long after, Wang Xiaolan came back with a smile on her face. Seeing the father and son squatting in the yard smoking together, she said happily, "Son, Village Chief Yang said that your Aunt Liu's matter has been handled!
Don’t you know that when I went to inform her just now, she jumped for joy like a little child when she heard the news? "
Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile: "Mom, you are still talking about me! When you heard the news, you kissed me on the cheek like crazy!"
Wang Xiaolan said proudly, "What's wrong with me kissing my son? He's so capable and talented, unlike his unreliable father! I'm so happy and proud!"
Ye Tianya was caught in the crossfire and choked by the smoke, causing him to cough uncontrollably. What a shameless daughter-in-law! Just praise her son if she wants! As a father, I am also proud of him!
What's the point of this? I have to drag myself out and scold myself...
Ye Zhiqiu was laughing secretly, looking at Ye Tianya's flattering smile, but Wang Xiaolan ignored him at all. These cheap parents are so interesting!
Ye Zhiqiu put out his head and said to them, "Dad, Mom, I have already learned cooking from two masters today! Both masters are the junior apprentices of Director Chen. From now on, I will take turns going to the two masters' restaurants to learn something every day.
Uncle Chen said that I don't need to go back to the factory to collect supplies. If there is anything we need, we can arrange for someone. Or you can come back and tell me."
After hearing the news, the couple took a while to understand and were both shocked. Their son had just said he wanted to learn, and in the blink of an eye, he had found a master?
Ye Tianya asked curiously, "Son, you said the two masters you worship have restaurants. Where are they located?"
"Master Chef's is on Qianmen Street, called Baiweiju, and Second Chef's is in Caishikou, called Chengxinzhuang. What's the matter, Dad? You haven't eaten there before, have you?"
Ye Tianya shook his head and replied: "I don't have any impression, it might be a small restaurant. I used to go to big restaurants."
Wang Xiaolan rolled her eyes at Ye Tianya. This guy always said he'd eaten the whole capital, but he was actually broke! He must have a good heart and had saved her life. Otherwise, she wouldn't have wanted to marry the boastful Ye Tianya!
There was no way. Ye Tianya had no evidence to prove that he had ever been rich! He also didn't know that Wang Xiaolan always thought he was bragging! Otherwise, he would have to reveal some of his wealth to let this woman know that he was not bragging!
Wang Xiaolan earnestly advised, "Son, since you've become my disciple, then you must study hard and be respectful to your master. If they are willing to teach you, then you must study diligently. If there is something they are unwilling to teach you, then don't force it.
Because it's you who want to learn from him, not him begging you to learn cooking from him, so you have to be clear about this."
Ye Zhiqiu said happily: "Okay, don't worry, Mom, I'm not a fool like the second brother who doesn't know his own strength at all!
Both masters have always liked me. Besides, I am different from others! I am a buyer and can help the masters and others purchase supplies! "
