Rebirth 1990: The beginning is sweet and cool Bai Yueguang

"If it rots in the ground, it's worthless."

Kong Bin's face darkened. He understood that what Zhou Qi said was the truth.

Right now, apples are unsalable in every household, and some don't even pick them because they will rot faster if picked. Small-scale farmers can still make some sales, but those without connections can only wait and wait for news from the wholesale station.

But after waiting for a long time, thinking of a lot of ways, and trying to sell it, in the end it was all in vain.

If we continue like this, we will just have to watch the apples rot in the fields.

Kong Bin sighed secretly and asked, "So what price are you going to offer?"

Zhou Qi chuckled, "15 cents, and I'll be responsible for transporting it!"

One and a half cents?

This price was cut in half.

If that’s not enough, you’re planning to include transportation at such a low price?

"Are you crazy?" Kong Wu shouted in shock. "Ask around and see what the wholesale station is offering us. We're selling it at 30 cents a pound, and you're only offering 15 cents? You might as well just give it away for free."

"If you really give it to me for free, of course I'd be happy to do it!" Zhou Qi said with a smile.

"You..." Kong Wu was speechless for a moment.

Zhou Qi turned to Kong Bin and confessed, "I won't hide it from you. The price quoted to me by the wholesale station is... 20 cents!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Kong Bin frowned.

To be honest, the price they sold it to wholesale stations was exactly 20 cents.

From Kong Bin's expression, Zhou Qi knew that his guess was almost right. He had previously done some research at the wholesale station and judged that the farmers' selling price should be between 20 cents and 25 cents, and would never be lower than 20 cents.

"Come on, two cents? Why do you come here instead of going to the wholesale station to buy goods at this price?" Kong Wu said to his father, "Dad, don't listen to his nonsense, it's impossible no matter how you think about it!"

Zhou Qi chuckled and said, "Believe it or not, this is the price I was given. As for why I didn't buy from there, it's because there are some tricks involved. I think it's better to give it directly to the hardworking farmers than to let some people make money and make me unhappy, so... I'm here..."

These words stunned both the father and the son.

How could they not understand the hidden meaning in the words?

Kickbacks! This is not uncommon.

Where there is competition there is room for backroom dealings.

Zhou Qi looked at their expressions and said, "How about my price? Can you accept it?"

Kong Bin motioned Kong Wu not to interrupt, looked at Zhou Qi and said, "Can you increase the price a little? 25 cents, I'll sell it to you for 25 cents!"

"No." Zhou Qi said firmly: "15 cents is my highest bid. I can guarantee that you will not lose money if you sell it to me at this price. The wholesale station gives me 20 cents. Just think about it, how much does it cost for them to collect it from you..."

"No, absolutely not." Kong Wu said, "If you want to fool people, you should have some sense. Who would be stupid enough to sell it to you at such a low price..."

Zhou Qi looked at Kong Bin.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, he smiled, stood up, picked up the 50,000 yuan, stuffed it into his bag and handed it to Jiang Jun: "In that case, Jun, let's go!"

Jiang Jun noticed that the contract was still on the table and wanted to go over to get it, but was gently blocked by Zhou Qi's foot.

Following Zhou Qi's gaze, I saw him raise his eyebrows.

Before he could react, Zhou Qi pulled him out the door.

"The contract..."

"Let's go, don't look back."

Before leaving, he smiled and waved to Kong Cui: "Little sister, let's go!"

Kong Cui glared at them fiercely.

"Haha, this girl is really unique!" Zhou Qi couldn't stop laughing.

Jiang Jun took a few steps forward and asked as if he had suddenly realized something: "That contract was actually a decoy left for them, right?"

"You saw through it?" Zhou Qi responded with a smile.

Jiang Jun stared at Zhou Qi in disbelief, thinking to himself: Has this guy set up this plan from the beginning? What is he thinking about all the time?

"Hey, even if they see the contract, do you think they will agree?" Jiang Jun asked doubtfully.

"Of course, as long as our plan goes well, they will definitely agree." Zhou Qi said confidently.

You know, the wholesale station would never give a wholesale price of 20 cents. Zhou Qi negotiated the deal with a fake budget of 10 million, but he didn't have 10 million. If he talked directly to the farmers, the price would not be lower than 20 cents, because they always thought the wholesale station would back it up.

But showing the contract to farmers has a very different effect. This contract is not only a symbol of strength, but also a proof of cooperative price and a display of market potential. Two cents for 100 tons, wow, farmers should calculate for themselves, what price should they sell to us?

Moreover, it is still undecided which wholesale station will buy apples from. In order to grab business, the price can only be pushed down. With this calculation, 1.5 yuan per pound does not seem so shabby. Even if the contract is not signed, the stamp is enough to arouse endless reverie.

As for fraud, it really wasn't. Zhou Qi knew the situation of the apple market this year. If the Kong family could accept it, it would be a great bargain.

Jiang Jun blinked and asked, "What are you going to do if they don't agree?"

Zhou Qi shrugged casually, "Then go and 'save' the next one!"

"Rescue?" Jiang Jun muttered to himself. I think it's more like digging a hole.

Zhou Qi put his arm around Jiang Jun's shoulders and pointed to the apple orchard. "Look at those apples. If I don't pick them, they'll just rot in the field. Such good apples, but so many people can't eat them. What a pity! After working hard for a year, all the results are wasted in the end. Tell me, if this isn't 'saving', what is it?"

And on the other side...

Kong Wu said indignantly: "Although the market conditions are not good this year, you can't bully people like this. I don't believe that such good apples can't be sold. Dad, don't worry, wait a little longer, maybe the market conditions will get better. Anyway, we can't sell them at such a low price..."

Kong Bin sighed, then lit the pipe in his hand and took a deep breath.

Amid the smoke, his frown did not relax at all.

"Huh? What is this?" Kong Wu curiously picked up the contract left by Zhou Qi and opened it hesitantly.

The more he looked, the wider his eyes became.

A... a contract worth 10 million?!

This number made Kong Wu gasp, and there was a line of notes attached to the end of the contract, which clearly marked: one hundred tons of apples, 20 cents per unit!

At the very bottom is a large bright red seal of the wholesale station.

"Dad, take a look at this!" Kong Wu handed it over quickly.

Kong Bin's face was uncertain. He thought for a long time, then suddenly slammed the table: "Quick, go and get him back!"

"Dad, this..."

"Stop talking nonsense and go!" Kong Bin urged.

He didn't believe Zhou Qi could get a low price of 20 cents from the wholesale station, but the contract was clearly in the format commonly used by wholesale stations, and there was an official seal, so it couldn't be fake. Even if the contract hadn't been signed and taken effect, maybe, as Zhou Qi said, he didn't want to pay kickbacks, so he went directly to the farmers to collect the money.
