Fairy Gourd Farm

Chapter 1134 Cold Chain Delivery

Of course Zhao Lei understood what Liu Mingzhao meant, and said angrily: "I just want a few dry abalones. As for being so hesitant, look at your worthless appearance! How about this, I will leave you a few half-headed abalones. Time to come and get it yourself!"

Liu Mingzhao said happily: "You are still a good friend, but I don't want you for nothing. I will pay whatever the market price is!"

Zhao Lei said indifferently: "Okay, the market price of half-headed abalones starts at 450 million a piece, I will leave you two pairs first, you can prepare 800 million, and you don't want a fraction!"

Although Liu Mingzhao has made a lot of money from fairy gourds and vegetables recently, he is still reluctant to spend nearly 2000 million yuan to buy abalone, so he can't help laughing awkwardly: "Ha...I didn't expect half a head of abalone to be so expensive. This profiteer, I have been fooled by you again!"

"It was you who said you would pay. I didn't intend to take your money at all." Zhao Lei said with a smile: "Stop talking nonsense, just come and get it when the time comes. It's just a few abalones. We still use this kind of money between us." polite?"

Liu Mingzhao said sincerely: "Hey, you are still a good friend, Old Zhao!"

"You know I'm a good friend!" Zhao Lei snorted pretending to be dissatisfied and said, "You're definitely not just calling for a few abalones. Let's get down to business."

Liu Mingzhao hurriedly said to Zhao Lei: "I have good news for you, the vegetables from our southern planting base are on the market, and they are very popular on Hong Kong Island and the entire Pearl River Delta region, and have become a must-have ingredient for all high-end restaurants and restaurants. "

Zhao Lei said with a smile: "This is good news, it seems that our wallets can be bulged again!"

"Of course, the ingredients of Xianhu brand have no rivals at all, and they just crush those competitors." Liu Mingzhao said triumphantly: "Zihao and I did some research, and found that Xiangou ingredients have occupied a large part of the high-end products in China. The ingredients market, especially the high-end ingredients market in North China and East China, is almost completely occupied by fairy gourd ingredients.”

Zhao Lei nodded and said, "Now that the vegetables from the southern planting base are starting to go on the market, it seems that the market in southern China will soon be occupied by us."

Liu Mingzhao said: "There is no doubt about it, but I think this is not enough. Now that we have occupied such a market, we can simply take the central and northwest and southwest at one stroke. What do you think?"

Zhao Lei smiled and said: "Your ambition is really not small. You actually want to occupy the national market. I didn't expect you to have such an ambition. Why didn't you see it before."

Liu Mingzhao said dissatisfied: "I've always been a very motivated person, it's just that I didn't show it before!"

Zhao Lei said perfunctorily: "Yes, yes, you are a positive and good young man, what does Zihao think about this matter, does he agree?"

"I mentioned it to him, and he said that as long as we agree, he has no objection." Liu Mingzhao told Zhao Lei: "I have already thought about it. The current output of the two planting bases in the north and the south can basically meet the needs of the national market. No need We invest more in building new planting bases, we just need to straighten out the transportation issues."

Zhao Lei pondered: "Although fairy gourd vegetables are more durable to storage, if they need to be transported over long distances, it is best to carry out cold chain distribution, so as to ensure the freshness of vegetables."

"You're right." Liu Mingzhao agreed, and then added: "However, the person in charge of transportation must be trustworthy, and this must be paid attention to."

Zhao Lei had an idea: "I have a friend who grew up with him who has been doing transportation. I asked him later if he was interested in helping us with cold chain transportation. If he is willing, then he doesn't have to worry about transportation. "

Liu Mingzhao said happily: "This is of course the best, and we don't have to worry about transportation."

The friend Zhao Lei mentioned who grew up together was Zhou Qingsong's son Zhou Jun.Zhou Jun was not good at school, so after graduating from technical secondary school, Zhou Qingsong bought him a car for transportation.

The two have been good friends since childhood. Zhou Jun helped Zhao Lei a lot when he was in trouble.Now that Zhao Lei is capable, he naturally wants to help his old friend.

In fact, Zhou Jun is currently helping Xianhu Company to deliver goods to local customers, and he also earns a lot of income every month, so his small life is very nourishing.However, if you can do national cold chain distribution for fairy gourd vegetables, you will definitely earn more.Since there is such a good thing, Zhao Lei must first ask his old friend if he is interested.

Hearing Zhao Lei's suggestion, Zhou Jun was also eager to try, but soon he said with a bitter face: "It is indeed profitable to do cold chain distribution, but the investment is also very large. A refrigerated truck will cost a lot of money. Not to mention the nationwide Delivery within the scope, without a dozen or twenty refrigerated trucks, it is impossible to do it!"

Zhao Lei asked Zhou Jun seriously: "How many refrigerated trucks do you have enough money now?"

"Two or three at most, and I can only buy domestic ones, and I can't afford imported ones." Zhou Jun said a little discouraged: "Although my father still has some money, it's his pension money, and I don't plan to pay for it." He opened his mouth."

Zhao Lei patted his good friend on the shoulder and said, "It's right not to use the old man's money. Calculate how much the difference is, and I'll lend it to you!"

Zhou Jun was surprised and said: "How can I use the money I borrowed from you to make money from you later? I'm afraid it's not good!"

"What's wrong!" Zhao Lei waved his hands indifferently and said: "We have known each other for so many years, and we have always been like brothers. Now that I have this ability, what's wrong with helping my brother? You should prepare the team as soon as possible. Just ask for money, don't be polite to me."

Zhou Jun was touched and said: "Okay, then I will not be polite, thank you, my good brother!"

"Since you treat me as a brother, don't say thank you!" Zhao Lei nodded with a smile, and then said to Zhou Jun seriously: "But the ugly words are up front, this money is borrowed from you, and the interest will be calculated according to the bank interest. "

In fact, for Zhao Lei today, it is not difficult at all to take out this money, even if it is given to Zhou Jun, it doesn't matter.But in that way, Zhou Jun will never be able to hold his head up again in Zhao Lei, and the friendship between the two will definitely change. This is something Zhao Lei doesn't want to see, so he said this on purpose.

Zhou Jun also understood Zhao Lei's intentions, nodded immediately and said, "Of course, I will treat this money as if I borrowed it, and I will return it to you with interest as soon as possible after I can make money."

After finalizing the cold chain distribution with Zhou Jun, Zhao Lei contacted Liu Mingzhao and Wu Zihao, asking them to come to Xinwu to discuss the matter of occupying the central and western markets.

Both of them attached great importance to this, and within a few days they came to Xinwu to meet with Zhao Lei to discuss the specifics of this plan.
