Rebirth 1990: The beginning is sweet and cool Bai Yueguang

"Looking for a business partner." Zhou Qi smiled and hugged his shoulders. "Do you think I'm scaring you?"

"Well, a little bit!" Jiang Jun replied.

"Let me ask you, what do you want most when doing business?" Zhou Qi asked again.

"To make money!" said Jiang Jun.

"That's right." Zhou Qi said with a smile, "I pay for the goods, and they collect the money and ship the goods. As long as my wallet is full, isn't this a real deal? This money of mine is real money, right?"

"Of course!" said Jiang Jun.

"That's right!" Zhou Qi patted his shoulder. "People who do great things don't care about small details. Money is real, and everything else is just a passing fancy."

"But you are not the general manager!" Jiang Jun said again.

"I'm the boss, not the general manager. This is a self-demotion. Don't worry about it so much. Just follow me..." Zhou Qi explained.

Jiang Jun blinked and thought about it carefully, it seemed to be true.

They came to the fruit wholesale market on Xingfu Middle Road.

This place covers an area of ​​more than 50 acres and will be expanded to hundreds of acres in the future. It is affiliated to the Grain Bureau and is also the largest fruit distribution center in the tobacco market.

It can be said that this is the general dispatch center for fruits in the tobacco market, and most of the fruits sent to other provinces are transferred here.

After Zhou Qi made his purpose known, he was led into the stationmaster's office.

Stationmaster Wang was about fifty years old, with a belly as round as a watermelon. Zhou Qi felt inexplicably familiar with his figure.

Why? Because it looks like life is very comfortable!

"Who are you two?"

Stationmaster Wang looked Zhou Qi and Jiang Jun up and down. Both of them were well-dressed and had a strong aura, especially the pager hanging on Zhou Qi's waist. Two words immediately popped up in Stationmaster Wang's mind: businessman!

He manages the entire wholesale market, dealing with either farmers who grow fruits or merchants who come to buy goods. Looking at these two, it's obviously the latter.

"Hello, Stationmaster Wang. I am Zhou Qi, the general manager of Halluya Fruit Group." Zhou Qi smiled and stretched out his hand, shook hands with Stationmaster Wang, and then winked at Jiang Jun. Jiang Jun had no choice but to take out the business card that was just out of the oven and still had body temperature and handed it to Stationmaster Wang.

Halluya Fruit... Group?

Stationmaster Wang was familiar with the concept of "group", which was a synonym for large-scale enterprises. But could fruits also be grouped? And as the head of the fruit wholesale station, he was totally unaware of it!

"Haluya Fruit is a newly established subsidiary of our group." Zhou Qi explained with a smile, "We would like to purchase a batch of fruits from you. If possible, we hope to establish a continuous cooperation. Stationmaster Wang, can you please talk in detail?"

Stationmaster Wang was still pondering over the word "Group" when he suddenly realized that he had neglected his distinguished guest and hurriedly greeted him: "Please sit down, please sit down... Xiao Zhao, go and pour two glasses of water!"

After they sat down, Stationmaster Wang placed his business card on the table and stared at the two of them with a smile, paying particular attention to Zhou Qi: "Manager Zhou, what kind of fruits does our company need? What is the specific method of cooperation?"

"I'm interested in all the fruits here... Oh, no, forget about the apples." Zhou Qi said with a smile.

This made Stationmaster Wang's face darken. He had a serious backlog of apples and was worried about how to sell them. He thought he could take this opportunity, but Zhou Qi didn't consider apples, which made him feel disappointed.

But he still wanted to fight for it: "Manager Zhou, our Tobacco Market's apples are very famous, and they are considered a local specialty. We are often not able to sell enough. Is there any misunderstanding about our Tobacco Market's apples?"

Zhou Qi chuckled when he heard this: "Stationmaster Wang, although our subsidiary is newly established, I have been working in this industry for many years, and the company is confident in letting me be the general manager. The apples in our city are indeed good, but the situation is special this year. Stationmaster Wang, don't bully me just because I am young."

"Haha, no, no." Stationmaster Wang waved his hands quickly. "Manager Zhou is very heroic and a rare talent. How dare I bully you? It's just that the quality of our local apples is really good, so I wanted to recommend them. If Manager Zhou doesn't need them, that's fine."

Stationmaster Wang is a man of good words. Zhou Qi didn't want to beat around the bush, so he smiled and said, "Stationmaster Wang, can you please show me the purchase price list first?"

Stationmaster Wang saw that he got straight to the point and didn't waste any more time. He immediately asked someone to bring him the price list.

Zhou Qi read it carefully.

Apples are 40 cents per pound, pears are 60 cents per pound, dates are 80 cents per pound... There are all kinds of local specialty fruits, and there are also some varieties shipped from other provinces, and the specific prices are also listed.

"Stationmaster Wang, can the price be negotiated?" Zhou Qi asked.

Stationmaster Wang smiled and said, "Manager Zhou, these are our standard wholesale prices."

He meant that the price was basically non-negotiable.

But in Zhou Qi's opinion, the price is very flexible.

"The quantity I want is quite a lot." Zhou Qi said while raising a finger.

"One hundred thousand catties, that's the price." Stationmaster Wang didn't seem too interested. "If it's one million catties, we can negotiate a 2 cent discount per catty."

It seems like a serious act, but to Zhou Qi, one million jin is just a small matter.

Zhou Qi smiled slightly: "Stationmaster Wang, I'm talking about the amount, not the weight."

When Stationmaster Wang heard this, he was stunned.

There is a world of difference between one million and one million kilograms.

For example, apples cost 0.40 cents per pound, and one million pounds only costs 80,000 yuan, but a million yuan means thousands of tons!

"Manager Zhou, are you really talking about one million? Are you kidding?" Although Station Manager Wang was in charge of the market and had a lot of daily turnover, he was also shocked by the amount.

It's not shocking, but it's definitely a large list.

Zhou Qi smiled and adjusted his sitting position. He folded his hands and looked directly at Stationmaster Wang: "What price can you give for a million dollars worth of goods?"

This one million is a real amount of money, not weight.

Stationmaster Wang was briefly surprised, then thought for a moment and said, "Well, if you really want to buy goods worth one million, I can reduce the current price by another 5 cents per pound."

This discount is indeed tempting.

But after listening to it, Zhou Qi smiled and shook his head.

"Manager Zhou, are you still not satisfied with this price?" Stationmaster Wang wondered.

"It's not that I'm dissatisfied, I'm very dissatisfied." Zhou Qi said, "The main thing is that I said more than one million..."

More than a million? What is that number?

Stationmaster Wang's face changed slightly. "Manager Zhou, this is already the maximum discount, provided that your purchase amount reaches one million. I can't do it for less than this amount. Of course, if you want apples, you can get a discount of two cents per pound for more than ten tons, and five cents for one hundred tons. If it is calculated based on one million, I can give you an eight-cent discount."

40 cents a pound, minus 8 cents?

Zhou Qi was secretly happy.

This shows how difficult it is to sell apples this year and how low the prices are.

He just wanted to get the bottom line out of Stationmaster Wang.

"Well, what if it's more than 10 million...what price are you going to give? Oh yes, I'm talking about money, not weight!" Zhou Qi said leisurely.
