Entering the office, the old man looked excited and hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Shanhe.
"Boss Zhao, long time no see. Your business is really big. This place is bright and spacious!"
"I specially brought some fresh fish from the village today and put it in the bucket of the carriage. It's very fresh. You can take it back and stew it for a taste!"
The old man's name is Han Youfu and he lives in Pannizi Village, Gaomen County, Nancheng.
The crabs covered with yellow fat that Zhao Shanhe bought before were from him. Ever since he ate Han Youfu's crabs, Zhao Shanhe was out of control. Whenever he met him in the city after get off work, he would have to buy them several times. Home.
In recent years, more than 80% of the villagers in Pannizi Village have made a living by planting rice fields.
Every year in early June, crabs are everywhere in the mud pits of the rice fields, and the villagers grab them one by one.
In addition to crabs, there are also black and fat fresh fish of all ages in the mud pits of the rice fields. The meat has many thorns and few thorns, and is delicious and plump.
According to Han Youfu, the mud pit in their village's rice fields is a treasure. Nothing swimming in the sea or jumping in the river is as fresh as the wild food in their mud pit!
The villagers usually drive their carriages to the county to sell the crabs and native fish they catch.
Those who were industrious and wanted to earn a few more bucks would drive their carriages to the city to find sales.
However, it would take half a day to drive a horse-drawn carriage with goods from Pannizi Village to Nancheng City.
But it's worth it, after all, the price in the city is four or five cents more expensive than in the county.
By comparison, a truckload of goods can earn more than 2 yuan more.
With more than 2 yuan in the countryside, if you live a careful life, you can really feed your family for a month.
However, the market for river fresh food is not good this year. No matter how good the crabs and local fish are, they cannot be sold at a good price in the city.
A few days ago, dealers from the county and city went to Pannizi Village to collect goods.
The dealer in the city only paid 1.5 cents for a fresh local fish weighing 5 pounds, which was more than half less than last year.
Only in the rice fields can the crabs and native fish in the mud pits grow fat.
Just to pay more for the crabs and local fish in the mud pit, the people in the village worked from dawn to dusk tending the rice fields.
The people in the village are living a difficult life, and they are all struggling to survive on their small fields. However, this year has coincided with a drought. Now it is the time for crops to grow. It has been more than 20 days without a drop of rain.
In addition, the prices of river fresh food and rice are not good this year. If this continues, the people in the village may not be able to live well this year.
A few days ago, Han Youfu met Zhao Shanhe while selling crabs. When he heard that Zhao Shanhe was the big boss of the shopping mall and was interested in introducing crabs and local fish from their village to the shopping mall, he was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.
When he returned to the village with the good news to promote it, the people in the village clapped their hands with joy.
"Today, the people in the village knew that I was going to the city to discuss this business, so they stood guard at my door before dawn. They also stuffed me with a lot of local products from the countryside, saying that they wanted you to try them, Boss Zhao, especially the That big black native fish is very fresh. Even the native fish caught in the sea is not as delicious as the native fish in the mud pit in our village."
Han Youfu's thoughts are also the thoughts of all the villagers in Pannizi Village, which is to hope for a long-term cooperation with Zhao Shanhe.
In this way, the crabs and local fish in the village can not only be sold at a good price, but also have a stable sales channel. In the future, there will be no need to worry about making money.
"Uncle Han, please sit down first."
Zhao Shanhe motioned to Han Youfu to sit down.
Han Youfu didn't dare to be polite, nodded and sat down.
Today, he came to the city to discuss business on behalf of all the villagers. He was thinking that Zhao Shanhe was a wealthy big boss in the city. He, a rural person with his face turned to the earth and his back to the sky, couldn't do anything in front of such a big boss with status. Something went wrong and the whole village lost face.
So I couldn't help but feel nervous, sweating like a child.
"Haozi, bring Uncle Han a bottle of iced soda to cool down." Zhao Shanhe said.
Later, Zhao Hao took a bottle of ice-cold soda from the counter and handed it over.
Han Youfu has lived for more than seventy years, and he has never even seen what a soda looks like, let alone drinking this soda.
He took a sip, and it was sweet and cool. It was very satisfying in his mouth. It was much better than sugar water.
"Boss Zhao, you are quite a nice person, but I am an old man from the countryside with no education and I don't know how to say polite words. I just wanted to ask, can our business be successful?"
Han Youfu came today not only to drink soda, but to discuss business is the most important thing. The whole village is waiting for this business to make a living!
"Uncle Han, as long as the goods delivered by the village are good, I will accept them all as ordered!"
As soon as Zhao Shanhe finished speaking, Han Youfu's tense heart relaxed and he kept grinning. Zhao Shanhe only had to kneel down and kowtow a few times to thank him.
"Boss Zhao, if you really accept the goods from our village, you will be a great benefactor to our village. This time the people in the village will have some hope." Han Youfu was also excited.
He also has a grandson in his family who wants to find a wife. He is waiting for the rice fields at home to produce some money this year. He has saved up the bride price and found a matchmaker to guarantee the marriage.
If he makes money this year, not only will his eldest grandson be able to get a wife, but he may also have spare money to build a large and bright tile-roofed house.
"Uncle Han, but before we cooperate in this business, we have to say that once the supply is provided to our shopping center, it cannot be stopped. To be safe, I have to sign a contract with the villagers who are willing to supply. During the contract period, the goods If you provide it to me, you can't provide it to others. If you break the contract, you will have to pay me compensation."
Zhao Shanhe wanted to create a monopoly, but Han Youfu didn't understand this. He just wanted to win if the business was successful and make money, so he immediately nodded and agreed to sign the contract.
Zhao Shanhe had already drawn up the contract and gave a copy to Han Youfu. He went back to the village and passed it around to the villagers who wanted to supply goods. If they thought the business was feasible, they signed a formal contract and supplied goods to the shopping center in accordance with the contract requirements. .
"Okay, Boss Zhao, I will convey your words to the villagers word for word. The village is still waiting for me to go back to deliver the news. They are very anxious, so I go back first. There are a few black earth fish on the bucket of the carriage. There are also a lot of local goods given to you by the villagers, I will unload them for you right now, and you can take them back and try them."
Han Youfu put the contract in his pocket, hurriedly ran outside, and unloaded the fish in the bucket, as well as dozens of kilograms of rural goods.
Zhao Shanhe looked at the big black native fish in the bucket. They were indeed fat. The smallest one weighed more than five or six kilograms. He picked up a big one and called Lin Fengjiao in who was working outside.
"Sister-in-law, I drank the chicken soup you stewed. It tasted good, but it cost you a lot of money. You went home to make some new local fish and eat it to replenish your health."
An old hen in this market was not cheap. Lin Fengjiao had no money to buy one, so she bargained with the market owner and ordered half a chicken. She got up in the middle of the night and stewed it in a casserole.
I specially packed a lunch box early in the morning and put it in Zhao Shanhe's office.
