After Black Lotus became a reborn person, he went completely crazy

Zou Dongcheng took two bites of the Red Fuji apple and stopped. He felt full from the apple. "Indeed, each has its merits. What about the quantity of the apple? Is it large?" Each has its uses and is a good thing.

"Don't worry, sir. I've already promised your CEO Ji that I'll give priority to supplying your restaurant."

Zou Dongcheng changed the subject and asked: "You said it is the only one in the Shanghai Stock Exchange. What is your basis?" He was quite curious.

"Because they were shipped from the northwest, a distance of 2,000 kilometers. If you know the terrain over there, you will know how difficult it is to transport them. Let me put it this way, the shipping and handling fees for these apples are several times the cost of the apples themselves. Normal people would not do this."

Xia Ran was not lying. In the future when the transportation industry was highly developed, this place was not a free shipping area. If there was any profit to be made, how could those express delivery companies not do it?

Any place that capital is unwilling to intervene in must be unprofitable and requires money to get in. If they can avoid losing money, they will seize the territory first even for the sake of market share.

Xia Ran continued: "That's the standard Loess Plateau, with an average altitude of about 2000 meters. The roads leading to the outside world are all winding mountain roads with dozens of bends. It snows as soon as winter comes, and the mountains are basically closed when the snow is heavy. The snow doesn't melt in the twelfth month or the first month. When walking on the road in the snow, traffic accidents occur frequently, which is like risking your life to make money.

As for the various handling fees during the transportation process, I don't need to say much, you should know that no matter which mode of transportation is used, the roads are not very peaceful now, and it is unknown whether the goods can arrive safely. It's not easy along the way, and I don't want to think about it a second time.

The reason why I do such a thankless task is mainly to promote them and let everyone know how good they are. By the way, I also want to let friends from all over the country have the opportunity to eat the fruits there and learn about the local customs and practices. I hope that one day in the future, other merchants from all over the country will be willing to go there in person to select and transport goods for the sake of profit, so that the lives of ordinary people can be better, and my goal will be achieved. "

First, some groundwork had to be laid. Whether it could be sold at a high price and gain the reputation of being a high-end exclusive product depended on this step. Xia Ran naturally spared no effort in doing so.

You should complain when you need to. If you don’t speak out, how can others know your difficulties? If you don’t speak out, others will think that these things fell from the sky, or even think that they are very simple and easy.

Zou Dongcheng listened to the familiar complaints and complained in his heart, he knew you were using this as an excuse to raise the price of Apple, but you were really talking nonsense.

But as I listened, I even felt a little moved. What's going on?

Finally, he thought about it and decided that the other party might really want to raise the price, and might also really want to promote the product. There must be selfish motives, and only a fool would do something that would lose money.

No matter what her real thoughts were, the fact that she dared to be the first to transport them out is a courage that most people don't have, so she deserves respect.

Discussing deeds, one does not care about one’s heart, and no one is perfect when considering one’s heart.

Zou Dongcheng had something in mind, and deliberately teased Xia Ran, "According to what you said, are you sure that no one will copy you?"

Xia Ran smiled. If she didn't have the cheating artifact Space, she would have been involved in this business sooner or later. But she would never be like this time, without any idea at all and doing something so boldly.

In the original body's memory, these foreign merchants in later generations collected apples every year just like gambling on stones. Those who made money really made a lot of money and could become rich in a year.

The speed of losing money is even faster. In a year with bad market conditions, all previous profits can be lost, and you may even be in debt.

Natural conditions and external market environment are fluctuating and changing all the time. The market situation changes every few days, with ups and downs. There is no fixed number and it all depends on luck.

Some people regretted their decision when the price went up after they just sold the fruit. Some people put the apples in cold storage and wait until next year to sell them in order to get a good price.

You may make a lot of money, or you may lose everything, and this is perfectly normal.

"I am 100% sure of this. I can't say for next year, but this year I am the only one because I bought all the apples produced in our county."

"What about other counties producing it? How do you know that others haven't shipped it out to sell?"

"It doesn't matter if we ship it out and sell it. You don't think that fruits in one province or one city are of the same quality. You're wrong. Not to mention provinces and cities, even in a small county, the quality of fruits produced in one town is not the same as in another. Different sunlight, different terrain, different latitude and longitude will produce different tastes of fruits. I have confidence in my fruits."

Xia Ran was not talking nonsense, in the original body's memory, the wholesale price in some villages could be as high as 5 to 6 yuan per catty, while at the same time, the price in other villages might be at most 2 to 3 yuan per catty.

The township where the original body remarried is a price depression, the township where Chenjia Village is located is an area with medium prices, and the township where Xia Ran harvested apples is the township with the best development of the apple industry in later generations. It has been the ceiling of apples since ancient times.

The pricing standards of merchants every year are negotiated by the villagers where Director Niu works. They are the weather vane, and if they sell at a high price, the price in other places will be higher accordingly, and vice versa.

"I can guarantee this. The taste is absolutely unique and irreplaceable. Specific terrain produces specific things. The same thing will not taste the same if it is grown in a different place. Just like the beef and mutton that will be delivered tomorrow, they are also specialties from that place. They are not available anywhere else. Once you eat them, you will know how good they are. Local water and soil not only support the local people, but also all living things. Every place has its own unique beauty."

Seeing that everything was almost ready for today, Xia Ran stopped immediately, made an appointment for a meeting tomorrow, and brought three boxes of apples to Manager Zou and asked someone to help carry them up.

It's called sample tasting.

Manager Zou thought Xia Ran was going to have a formal negotiation with him, but she suddenly stopped talking. What was she doing? He was in a dilemma.

He had rehearsed the possible bargaining process several times in his mind, and it ended just like that? He didn't even have time to give it his best shot, and it was gone?

It was not until I sat back in the office that I realized that the other party did not play by the rules at all.

He muttered, "Hmph, all that rehearsal was in vain," but then he looked at the apples and took a few to share with everyone. Xia Ran was an interesting person. At least he wasn't annoying or disgusting, which was good.

Although the leader had already given the instructions, he had a lot of room to play in actual operation. He also hoped that the other party would be more easy to talk to, saying, "You are good, I am good, and everyone is good."

It looks good now, at least it can be dealt with.
