Reborn Troops

Aunt Li thought for a while, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "I have a friend who has a small farm in the countryside that specializes in growing natural salt. Maybe you can try his products."

Zhou Wanwan and Wang Yue looked at each other, and a glimmer of hope flashed in their eyes.

"Aunt Li, can you help us contact them?" Zhou Wanwan asked anxiously.

Aunt Li nodded, "Of course, I'll call him right away."

A few days later, Aunt Li's friend came to Zhou Wanwan's jewelry store with samples.

Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian carefully examined the samples and found that the quality of the coarse salt was very good, and the color and texture met their requirements very well.

"What is the price of these coarse salts?" Zhou Wanwan asked.

Aunt Li's friend smiled and said, "The price is lower than the market price, and I can guarantee a stable supply."

Zhou Wanwan and Wang Yue breathed a sigh of relief, finally finding a solution to the problem.

Master Zhongshan smiled slightly, took the teacup handed to him by Zhou Wanwan, took a sip, and then slowly said: "Wanwan, your predicament this time reminds me of an experience when I was young. At that time, I also faced a similar problem, but I finally found a solution through persistence and wisdom."

Zhou Wanwan's eyes flashed with curiosity, "Master, can you tell me in detail?"

Master Zhongshan nodded and said, “That was when I just started making jewelry, and I encountered a problem with the supply of materials.

At the time, I was in urgent need of a special gemstone, but the supply on the market was very limited and the price was ridiculously high.

I looked everywhere, even to some remote mountain villages, but couldn’t find a suitable supplier.”

Wang Yue interrupted, "So how did you solve it in the end?"

Master Zhongshan smiled and said, "Just when I was about to give up, I met an old friend. He told me that in a remote mountain area, there was an old man who mined this gem himself."

"I set out immediately, and after a few days of trekking, I finally found the old man. Not only was he willing to sell me gems at a reasonable price, he also taught me how to identify the authenticity of gems."

Zhou Wanwan nodded thoughtfully, "Master, your experience has given me a lot of inspiration. Perhaps we can also find new suppliers in a similar way."

Master Zhongshan looked at Zhou Wanwan approvingly, "That's right, Wanwan. Sometimes, the solution to a problem is not right in front of us, but we need to go out and look for those overlooked resources."

Just then, Qianqian hurried in with a hint of excitement on her face, "Wanwan, I just received a call. There is a supplier who is willing to provide the coarse salt we need, and the price is very reasonable."

Zhou Wanwan and Wang Yue looked at each other, with a hint of surprise in their eyes.

Zhou Wanwan asked hurriedly: "Qianqian, who is this supplier? Have we contacted him before?"

Qianqian shook her head. "No, I met this supplier on an industry forum. He heard that we were looking for coarse salt and contacted me."

Master Zhongshan smiled and nodded. "It seems that your efforts have finally paid off. However, before deciding to cooperate, you still need to carefully examine the reputation and product quality of this supplier."

Zhou Wanwan nodded. "Master is right. We can't take it lightly. Qianqian, can you arrange for us to visit this supplier together?"

Qianqian agreed immediately, "Okay, I'll contact him right away and arrange a time."

A few days later, Zhou Wanwan, Wang Yue and Qianqian went to the supplier's factory together.

The factory is located in the suburbs with a clean environment and advanced equipment.

The supplier received them warmly and introduced their production process and quality control measures in detail.

Zhou Wanwan carefully observed the factory's production line and found that the quality of the coarse salt here was indeed very good, and its color and texture met their requirements very well.

She nodded with satisfaction. "The quality of your coarse salt is very good. We are very satisfied. However, we still need to consider the price and supply stability."

The supplier smiled and said, "As for the price, we can discuss it. As for the stability of supply, I can assure you that our production is very stable and there will definitely be no shortage of stock."

Wang Yue interrupted, "How much lower are your prices than on the market?"

The supplier thought for a moment and said, "We can give you a preferential price, 10% lower than the market price."

Zhou Wanwan and Wang Yue looked at each other, with a hint of satisfaction in their eyes. Zhou Wanwan nodded, "We can accept this price. However, we still need to go back and discuss the specific details of the cooperation."

The supplier nodded, "Of course, you can contact me anytime."

After returning to the store, Zhou Wanwan called a meeting with team members to discuss the details of cooperation with this supplier. After some discussion, everyone unanimously agreed to cooperate with this supplier.

Just when Zhou Wanwan was about to sign a contract with a supplier, she suddenly received a call. An anxious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Wanwan, this is Aunt Li. I just heard that you have found a new supplier, but I have bad news for you."

Zhou Wanwan's heart tightened, "Aunt Li, what happened?"

Aunt Li sighed, "I just learned that the supplier's coarse salt has quality problems and has been complained by many customers. You must be careful and don't be fooled."

Zhou Wanwan and Wang Yue looked at each other, with a trace of worry in their eyes. Zhou Wanwan hurriedly asked: "Aunt Li, can you provide more information?"

Aunt Li nodded. "Of course. I'll send you the relevant information right away. You must check carefully and don't trust anyone easily."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Wanwan immediately called a meeting with the team members to discuss the information provided by Aunt Li in detail. After some analysis, everyone agreed that there was indeed a problem with this supplier.

Zhou Wanwan frowned, "It seems that we still need to continue looking for new suppliers."

At this time, Master Zhongshan came in and said with a smile: "Wanwan, don't be discouraged. Sometimes, difficulties can stimulate our potential. You have done a good job. Next, I will help you find new suppliers."

Zhou Wanwan looked at Master Zhongshan gratefully, "Master, thank you."

Master Zhongshan nodded and said, "If we work together, we will definitely find a solution to the problem."

In the next few days, Master Zhongshan and Zhou Wanwan's team looked for new suppliers.

They not only contacted friends in the industry, but also went to some remote mountain villages to look for overlooked resources.

Finally, after some effort, they found a reliable supplier.

This supplier not only provides high-quality coarse salt, but also reasonable prices and a stable supply.
