Rebirth 1990: The beginning is sweet and cool Bai Yueguang
Chapter 29: Insults
The orchard was full of rotten fruits, but no one cared.
Apples are not like cotton, which can be stored for a long time. Once they rot, they are completely ruined. Although it is not clear how much the loss was this year, the news photo shows a fruit farmer squatting in front of a pile of rotten apples and crying. The picture is heartbreaking.
Later, someone analyzed the reasons for the slow sales:
The good market conditions in the past two years attracted a large number of fruit farmers to engage in planting. However, it happened to be a bumper harvest, and sales channels were not able to digest it. Prices kept falling and still could not be sold.
To put it simply!
This is all caused by poor logistics. Zhou Qi really can't say anything good about the trains nowadays. There are few trains, the speed is slow, and they stop at all the big and small stations. The noise is so loud that his patience is exhausted. When they arrived at the tobacco market, it was already noon the next day.
After getting off the car, Zhou Qi was not in a hurry to inquire about the market price of apples, as he had an idea of the place.
I hailed a taxi, and it was a bright red Xiali! At that time, all over the country, the streets were filled with minivans or this classic model.
The tobacco market is close to the sea and has developed much more prosperously than my hometown. It already has fashionable places like commercial streets, and is no longer an outdated department store.
The driver said that the "People's Shopping Mall" was transformed from an old department store. It sells everything you need.
Once we got there, we found that it really lived up to its reputation. There were many small shops around the People's Shopping Mall, forming a commercial circle.
After a few rounds of shopping, I discovered that there were a lot of clothes for sale, and the styles were definitely considered fashionable in that era.
"Pick out two sets of clothes you like!" Zhou Qi said to Jiang Jun.
Jiang Jun took a quick look and showed little interest. He had never been particular about food and clothing.
"Please help me choose. I will wear whatever you want me to wear!" Jiang Jun's words immediately made clear Zhou Qi's little thoughts on this trip.
People need clothes, and Buddha needs gold. When selling cloth and cotton, if you dress simply, people will think you are reliable. But when negotiating business, if you dress too shabbily, you will appear to be unconfident and lack strength.
Who will look you in the eye? This kind of prejudice exists now and will never be changed.
Zhou Qi smiled lightly and said nothing, but he had his own thoughts.
Not long after, the two walked into a men's clothing store.
The shop owner was a middle-aged man. When he saw them, he frowned, his face showing disdain and impatience: "Hey, don't touch me. My things are high-end. If they get damaged or dirty, can you afford to pay for it?"
Zhou Qi's hand stopped in mid-air, the suit not far from his fingertips. Obviously, this boss was judging people by their appearance.
You can't blame him. After all, they were dressed in rustic clothes, and were covered in dust and dirt from days of running around. Plus, they had spent a night on the train, so their beards were untidy and their faces were greasy. They looked like people who had just returned from a disaster.
At this time, a group of young people came into the store. As soon as the girl turned around, she pinched her nose and said, "What's that smell? Go away." The boy glanced at Zhou Qi and Jiang Jun with disdain in his eyes, and turned away with his head held high.
The boss was very anxious, thinking that this would ruin his business, so he immediately stepped forward and waved his hand to drive the man away: "Go away, go away, if you don't have money, don't be an eyesore here, and don't come to me for food... Don't block my business."
Jiang Jun frowned and became angry: "Do you think we are beggars? Keep talking nonsense."
The shop owner didn't take it seriously and sneered, "Oh, you want to act wild here, right?"
"This is my territory and I'm the boss. If you're not welcome, then get out of here. You two country bumpkins, you look so poor but so arrogant."
"Get lost, go wherever it's cheaper. You can't afford the things here. Don't dirty my store."
The owner patted the suit in a pretentious manner. Although Zhou Qi was not touched by it at all, he looked extremely disgusted.
Although this posture does not cause any actual harm, it is full of insult.
Jiang Jun was about to explode, but Zhou Qi stopped him. Zhou Qi pointed at the suit and asked calmly, "Boss, how much is this suit?"
"How much? Can you afford it?" the shopkeeper said disdainfully.
"Just tell me a number." Zhou Qi said.
"I'll scare you to death if I tell you that." The shop owner snorted, "One hundred and twenty yuan, that's an amount you probably can't earn in months. Go away, don't waste my time. If you look at me for even a second, I'll have to charge you for mental damages."
"I want this set, Jun, pay for it!" Zhou Qi said straightforwardly.
Jiang Jun raised his eyebrows slightly, he really didn't like this boss. But Zhou Qi said he wanted to buy it, and the money was Zhou Qi's, so he didn't say anything, just opened the bag and took out two bills from the stack.
Oh my god, when the boss saw the big stack of money in Jiang Jun's hand, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately put on a flattering expression: "Boss, I knew you were extraordinary and had a unique vision. This suit is made of top-quality fabrics, which is perfect for your status."
Zhou Qi glanced at him and asked, "Which is the most expensive suit you have?"
"Just this one, and that one, boss. I'm sorry for offending you just now. I'll give you the lowest discount, one hundred and eighty!" said the shopkeeper with a smile on his face.
"Okay, this one, that one, and the one next to it, according to my and my brother's sizes, ten sets of each!" Zhou Qi placed a large order in one go.
What? Ten sets for one set? That means thirty sets! And you don’t even bargain? This is so arrogant!
Big business, definitely big business. If the two people had said that just now, the boss would have kicked them out. But the situation is different now. The money in their hands is really tempting.
The shop owner almost drooled at the thought of the money about to fall into his pocket.
"Okay, okay, I'll pack it up for the two bosses right away..." he agreed hurriedly.
A little while.
"Boss, we don't have that many sets. Would you like to take a look at something else?" asked the owner.
"Take as much as you can. If it's not enough, just use other things. Just mix and match." Zhou Qi sat on the chair, patted his clothes, and said without raising his head.
"Okay!" The shop owner was delighted. It was obvious that he could name any price he wanted. In all his years of doing business, this was the first time he had met such a straightforward customer.
After a flurry of activity, the shop was turned upside down. The owner, with sweat on his forehead, came to Zhou Qi with a large bag of clothes. He bent over and forced a smile on his face: "Boss, everything is packed. The total charge is 3,500 yuan."
Zhou Qi asked, "Are you familiar with the shops nearby?"
"Yes, what do you think?" the owner asked curiously.
"You don't have enough suits here, so I have to go buy some from somewhere else?" Zhou Qi said as he patted his shoulder. "I didn't ask you to give me a discount, so you have to help me?"
As soon as he heard this, the boss suddenly realized what was going on. He thought to himself that this was a good idea. He could do a favor for his peers and help them bargain without hurting his own interests. It would be a good idea to do this business.
"Okay, boss, I'll take you there right away. Here's my clothes." Before the owner finished speaking, Zhou Qi had already stood up and walked out.
