Back to the 80s, I was a military wife and was pampered by a tough guy with a pure heart.

Ye Ying boldly expressed her thoughts: "For all flavors of popsicles, if you can achieve a certain sales volume, you will give me 1 cent. If you can't achieve it, give me 2 cents. How about it?"

As far as ice factories are concerned, only by having stable sales channels can money continue to flow into their accounts. Only when the quantity is large can they make profits, so they simply look down on retail investors who sell wholesale popsicles.

Department stores are their top customers.

She has done market research in the past few days. Although the place is small, there is not only Datian Ice Factory, there are at least several ice factories of medium and above size and some small factories.

If the Datian Ice Factory refuses to cooperate with her, then she will choose to cooperate with a less famous small factory.

Manager Li listened to her request and decisively refused.

"Two cents can be considered. One cent is purely a loss-making business, so I won't do it."

The rejection of cooperation was actually expected by Ye Ying.

A big factory like Datian Ice Factory, which is already famous, focuses more on profits.

And she has to achieve a certain sales volume to get a purchase price of 1 cent, which is more useful for opening up the market for some little-known small factories.

So after Manager Li refused, Ye Ying didn't say much, packed up and headed to the next Red Sun Food Factory.

Red Sun Food Factory is much smaller in scale, but they not only make popsicles and sell ice cubes, but also deal in a wide variety of food and beverages.

Ye Ying accidentally discovered Coca-Cola here. After asking, she found out that they had obtained the local distribution authorization for Coca-Cola, which was the city's general agent.

The boss of this company, Hu Yong, is not as arrogant as Manager Li. After listening to Ye Ying's ideas, he knew that this was obviously an unprofitable business, but he did not rush to deny it.

Hu Yong patiently listened to Ye Ying's analysis of the factory's current situation and fundamentals, and decisively agreed to give Ye Ying two months.

But the prerequisite is to change the cooperation model.

Red Sun Food agreed to offer a price slightly lower than that of any ice factory on the market. If the sales target can be achieved within these two months, 90% of the profit will be returned to Ye Ying, and the factory will only need 10%.

If it fails, she will get 10% of the profit.

It can be seen that the boss is also very sincere. Although Ye Ying is tempted by the 90% profit, she still wants to bargain again.

Because if she agrees, it means that she will not get 1 cent of the supply price.

Without such a cheap supply price, and coming from a little-known small factory, the advantages will be greatly reduced.

She didn't give up, and boldly put forward the condition of giving away 100 cigarettes for every order of 20 cigarettes.

In this way, although the price is not lowered, the unit price can be compressed at the same time, and the purchaser's intention will be greater.

But what Ye Ying didn't expect was that Hu Yong graciously agreed to her conditions.

And for every 100 bottles, 20 will be given away, and 30 will be mentioned on the initiative.

The boss has already made a concession. If Ye Ying doesn't get better, he will give up. It would seem a bit ungrateful.

After there was no problem with the price, Ye Ying added some details about the cooperation, and Hu Yong agreed to them all.

So the two signed the contract on the spot.

At this time, there were only landline phones in the country, so Ye Ying asked her boss to leave a phone number at the factory where she could contact him for delivery, and then went back with the contract.

Ye Ying, who left the Red Sun Food Factory, did not go back to the compound directly, but stepped on the [-] bars to the Youyi Market.

After this period of traveling, she was almost familiar with this area.

She promised the popsicle seller who showed her the way in the Friendship Market that she would not come here to steal his business, so although she sold popsicles everywhere, she never came to the Friendship Market to sell them.

After walking around, the sunny guy selling bamboo shoots is here today.

But what is sold today is no longer bamboo shoots, but small potatoes.

Ye Ying grabbed a handful of potatoes from the truck. These small potatoes are suitable for stewing and steaming. They were often eaten when she was young.

Brush the small potatoes clean, put them into a pot with their skins on, add water and some salt, and cook them until they are pink and salty.

Thinking of this, Ye Ying suddenly didn't know what to do and directly loaded nearly ten kilograms of small potatoes.

When checking out, the young man saw it was her and grinned, showing two rows of teeth.

"Sister, you are finally here!"

"Hmm, I'm a little busy these days." Ye Ying raised her eyebrows at the young man and stood on the large scale before paying the bill.

"Here, let's put the weight on the scale for my sister."

"This..." The young man frowned slightly, "Sister, do you want to weigh yourself again?"

"What's wrong? What can I do if I use your scale? Will there be less meat?"

When Ye Ying said this, the young man scratched his head in embarrassment, "That...that's not true. I, I will weigh you right now!"

This time the guy directly hung up four 4kg weights without any hesitation!

Ye Ying looked at the big scale and held her breath, fearing that breathing would make her gain weight.

Finally, she heard the words that haunted her: "Sister, you have lost weight."

"Take the young master! How much?" Ye Ying opened her eyes wide.

"192 pounds."

"Nice!" Ye Ying couldn't hide her ecstasy. She couldn't hold it back and asked the young man for five more kilograms of small potatoes.

My weight finally dropped below 200 pounds.

She had lost more than ten kilograms in less than a month, and she was already very satisfied with the result. At least her efforts and starvation during this period were not in vain.

After Ye Ying finished picking the potatoes, she couldn't help but curiously asked the young man what else was sold in their village.

Speaking of this, the young man immediately started talking non-stop and praised the head of their village without hesitation.

I only worked in the local area for three years after graduating from college. Not only did I solve the long-standing problem of being flooded every year, I also made it possible for every household to make some money.

The head of Linkeng Village is actually a college student who has just graduated three years ago!

It is true that knowledge is power.

Moreover, the villagers in their village were confident enough to hand over this position to this university graduate. They were so open-minded that Ye Ying could not even imagine it.

Ye Ying was surprised, paid the money, put 15 kilograms of potatoes into a sack, tied it to the back of the Erbagang car, and went to the meat stall.

She won the contract today and had a breakthrough in weight. She must have a meal to celebrate.

It was the same meat stall as last time. Ye Ying specially observed it.

It seems that the butcher stall owner has started to charge a small fee.

Ye Ying got two kilograms of pork belly without using the meat ticket, bought some other ingredients and seasonings that she didn't have at home, and went back.

In the yard, the military wives sat around under the shade of the trees, chatting and doing some small crafts, or knitting sweaters or scarves.

Seeing Ye Ying come back, she seemed to have bought a lot of things, and she also carried a big bag behind her. The topic of the previous chat suddenly became her.
