Chapter 354 Negotiations
After another three hours of driving, Wang Yuanchao and his party finally arrived at Xiaowanghai Village, a village near the sea.
The big truck made a lot of noise. After Wang Yuanchao and his party drove into the village,
All the adults and children in the village gathered around. After Wang Yuanchao and his group stopped their car, several armed militiamen accompanied an old man and came to the front of the car and asked, "Young man, what are you doing here?"
Wang Yuanchao took out a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes from his pocket, passed them around to the old man and several militiamen, and said with a smile: "Hello, old man,
We came here this time to buy some sea fish to improve the food in the factory.
As we drove along, I saw that your village is close to the sea, so we drove into the village to ask if you have any sea fish for sale. "
After hearing what Wang Yuanchao said, the old man frowned and said:
"Young man, we do have sea fish here, but we sell them to the supply and marketing cooperatives.
You can’t engage in speculation.”
When Wang Yuanchao heard about the sea fish, his eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Old man, you are a village cadre, right? Then you should know the policy.
We are here to purchase on behalf of our red brick factory. It is corporate procurement, not speculation.
Don't worry."
The old man did not believe it immediately and asked, "Young man, do you have any proof?"
"Yes, I have the certificate, letter of introduction, and purchase certificate."
After Wang Yuanchao finished speaking, he took out his ID and handed it to the old man.
After the old man carefully looked at the documents, he breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Okay, young man, you can park the car here. It's getting dark soon. Come to my house for dinner first and we can talk over the table."
Wang Yuanchao naturally took advantage of the situation and said, "Okay, old man, I'll trouble you then."
"It's no trouble. We are a poor and remote county here. We rarely see outsiders once a year. Guests are welcome in our Xiaowanghai Village."
Wang Yuanchao, Liu Wanyou and the other two opened the car door and jumped out, still holding the long wooden warehouse in their hands. Wang Yuanchao said embarrassedly:
"Old man, there are a lot of bandits on the road now. Most of us who travel long distances carry wooden warehouses. Is that okay?"
The old man thought for a moment and said:
"I know that the drivers always bring wooden boxes with them when they go out.
But our village is very safe, and nothing has happened in the past ten years.
You can put the barn in the car and lock it up.”
Wang Yuanchao saw this and felt it was inappropriate to bring the wooden warehouse to the old man's house, so the three of them put the wooden warehouse back into the box in the cab, locked the car door, and followed the old man to his home.
As they walked, Wang Yuanchao chatted:
"Old man, we need to buy a lot of sea fish this time. We need about 4,000 to 5,000 kilograms of fish, at least two kilograms of fish. Can you provide them?"
"My last name is Liu, and I am the village party secretary of Xiaowanghai Village. You can just call me Secretary Liu.
As for sea fish, it is not a big problem. There are many fish in our sea. Usually, the villagers here catch fish for themselves.
Our village is too far from the city, and it is not convenient to sell the fish we catch.
The buyers from the supply and marketing cooperative rarely come to our village.
So we have fish here, and you happen to have a car, so it’s convenient to transport them.
I’ll go to the village to mobilize the 4,000 to 5,000 kilograms of fish you mentioned tonight,
and we can organize to set the nets in the evening, and we should be able to catch them all tomorrow morning.”
After hearing this, Wang Yuanchao laughed happily.
After all, the three of them have been through so much, and it is very good that there is a good result.
"Young man, is the Red Flag Brigade where your factory is located in YK City?"
Wang Yuanchao thought about it and decided that it would be better to tell the truth, so he said:
"Secretary Liu, our factory is in Heilongjiang Province. It took us almost two days and one night to get here.
Our red brick factory is a factory with very high labor intensity. Our employees have high requirements for meat. However, there is not much meat available on the market in this season, so we came to the seaside to buy some sea fish to improve the meals for our employees.
By the way, I also want to check out the situation here.
If it is appropriate, our red brick factory would also like to set up a long-term purchasing point here. In the future, our factory can consider setting up a point here to purchase marine fish for a long time to improve the food for our factory employees. "
Secretary Liu looked up at Wang Yuanchao in surprise and asked curiously, "Young man, is this a decision made by your factory? Can you make the decision?"
At this time, Liu Wanyou next to him quickly said:
"Secretary Liu, don't worry, this is Director Wang from our red brick factory.
Director Wang has the final say on all matters in the factory."
Secretary Liu's expression suddenly became more vivid. He quickly shook Wang Yuanchao's hands and said, "Oh, look at what has happened. I was blind to the value of a piece of gold and jade. Director Wang, hello, hello. Welcome to our Xiaowanghai Village for inspection."
Wang Yuanchao politely shook hands with Secretary Liu and said, "Secretary Liu, you are too polite. The reason why I came here in person is mainly because our red brick factory has this demand. After all, our red brick factory is not planning to buy sea fish just once, and may purchase them for a long time in the future. So if I don't come to take a look, I will feel uneasy. Old Secretary, what kind of sea fish are produced in abundance here, and what is the approximate price?"
At this time, the old man realized that his village might be about to usher in a big business, and he became more cautious and said: "The sea here is rich in Spanish mackerel, razorfish, sea bass, catfish, pike, and yellow croaker. Our supply and marketing cooperative buys other marine fish at 7 cents per pound.
The price of yellow croaker is higher. The purchase price of small yellow croaker is 40 cents per pound, and the purchase price of large yellow croaker is 8 cents per pound. Director Wang, if you plan to come to us to buy marine fish for a long time, our village can still be cheaper. "
The Red Brick Factory was a collective enterprise, not Wang Yuanchao's own enterprise.
Moreover, at a glance, Xiaowanghai Village has only one or two houses made of blue bricks and tiles, and all other houses are made of mud bricks. It is obvious that the people in this village live in extreme poverty.
Wang Yuanchao really couldn't bear to lower the price of Xiaowanghai Village, so he said: "Secretary Liu, I have seen that the conditions in the village are really poor.
We will buy it at the price you mentioned, and don’t try to lower the price any further.”
At this point, Wang Yuanchao looked at Liu Wanyou and asked, "Wanyou, how many sea fish can we bring back with this car?"
Liu Wanyou probably understood what Wang Yuanchao meant. Although he felt that Wang Yuanchao was too soft-hearted, Liu Wanyou still liked good people like Wang Yuanchao to be leaders.
"Director, our truck has a maximum load of 5 tons, but we have a long way to go back, so I personally suggest that we carry no more than 4 tons of sea fish."
Wang Yuanchao nodded and said to Secretary Liu: "Secretary, I'll trouble your village.
As long as it doesn't exceed 8,000 kilograms this time, we will take as many sea fish as you have, is that ok with you?"
When Secretary Liu heard about such a large purchase volume, he was instantly excited and said quickly:
"Okay, okay, okay, Director Wang, don't worry, there's no problem, absolutely no problem."
