Chapter 48: A Sudden Unexpected Situation

Chapter 48: A Sudden Unexpected Situation

Zhang Lin answered the phone, and Chen Shengfei’s voice came through, “Mr. Zhang, I’m really sorry to call you like this, but I plan to bring a friend to your farm tomorrow. I wonder if you’ll be free? I also have a small favor to ask.”

HH

Hearing the mention of a favor, Zhang Lin smiled and asked, “Jinyinhua tea?”

Chen Shengfei seemed a bit embarrassed, “Yes, I’ve been craving your Jinyinhua tea. Even though my constipation improved yesterday, I had a few drinks and some spicy food at a dinner, and now I’m desperate for your tea again.”

Zhang Lin felt something was off, “Mr. Chen, wasn’t it your wife who had constipation?”

“Yes, it’s my wife who’s been suffering from constipation. I’ll bring a cup back for her when I visit,” Chen Shengfei quickly explained.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he sensed a murderous aura.

Turning around, he saw his wife, Fu Qing, standing beside him, glaring at him.

“Old Chen, you better explain who’s been suffering from constipation all this time,” Fu Qing said, grabbing his ear.

“Ouch, honey, go easy! Honey, I’m still on the call, I haven’t hung up yet!”

Zhang Lin was taken aback by the commotion on the other end of the line.

Actually, it was Mr. Chen himself who had been suffering from constipation all along?

The call finally ended, but Zhang Lin shook his head with a smile. What was so embarrassing about it?

Constipation is a very common condition; almost everyone experiences it at some point.

As Zhang Lin was thinking, his phone received a WeChat message from Lin Yao at Millennium Productions.

The message contained a 3D image of a milk tea cup with Millennium’s logo, a background of Fu Yao and a sea of rapeseed flowers, and the Liyuan Farm logo.

Honestly, paying 2000 yuan for the right to use Fu Yao’s image and reusing it was definitely worth it, and the effect was great.

“Mr. Zhang, are you satisfied with the milk tea cup design?” Lin Yao’s message asked.

Zhang Lin carefully examined the design and was very pleased with Millennium’s work. “Mr. Lin, I’m very satisfied with the design. Please proceed with the final version. I’ll also place an order for a batch of milk tea cups and start a trial sale of Jinyinhua tea tomorrow.”

While the rapeseed flower fields at Liyuan Farm were gaining popularity, they needed a unique selling point to attract more attention.

The Jinyinhua tea, known for its constipation-relieving properties, would be that unique selling point, and it needed to be promoted immediately.

As long as the buzz was strong and captivating enough, it would easily draw a large crowd.

“Alright, I’m glad you’re satisfied, Mr. Zhang,” Lin Yao replied, sending a few fist-bumping emojis and adding, “I’ll bring over the Jinyinhua tea advertisement signs tomorrow, and I’ll also bring a cup back for my friend. He’s been suffering from severe constipation recently.”

“...” Zhang Lin couldn’t help but think of Chen Shengfei from earlier.

He strongly suspected that Lin Yao’s friend wasn’t the one suffering from constipation either.

After finalizing the design with Millennium, Zhang Lin immediately left the farm and headed to Red Earth.

Red Earth was the industrial area of Youcheng, home to various factories, including one that specialized in producing milk tea cup sets.

Zhang Lin met with the factory manager, handed over the logo design, and placed an order for 10,000 premium cups. Each set, including the cup, lid, and straw, cost 2 yuan.

These premium cups were typically custom-made by specialty milk tea shops.

His 500ML Jinyinhua tea would sell for 200 yuan, so the cup needed to be of high quality to match the price point.

The factory had the capacity to produce the cups with the custom design using specialized equipment, and a batch would be delivered to the farm early the next morning.

However, he also ordered 200ML cups, offering both small and large sizes.

The 500ML size was too much for many people, and they might not finish it in one sitting. The 200ML size, priced at 100 yuan, would be more appealing to most customers and easier to pay for.

More importantly,, 200ML would make customers feel they hadn’t had enough, especially once they realized the tea’s effectiveness in treating constipation. This would likely lead them to order another cup, making it a 400ML amount for 200 yuan.

If anyone questioned this, the explanation rights belonged to Liyuan Farm.

And this product was only available at Liyuan Farm. If you had issues, you could continue to suffer from constipation, or you could choose not to buy it.

Zhang Lin finalized the details with the factory, signed the contract, and paid a 9000 yuan deposit.

At the same time,

Wei Yuan was at the agricultural bureau, wrapping up the details with the fruit farmers about their cooperation with Liyuan Farm. He then said to the farmers, “I’ve explained everything to you all. I have some other matters to attend to, so please bring the two types of fruits and Mengxi to Liyuan Farm to finalize the details.”

The farmers all showed enthusiasm and responded,

“Director Wei, rest assured, we won’t hold you back.”

“Yeah, without your bureau, we wouldn’t have had this opportunity to work with Liyuan Farm.”

"Mr. Lin, we'll need your help to introduce us to Mr. Zhang!"

"..."

Don't assume that just because they are farmers, they are out of touch with the internet. As online sales have surged, they've also kept up with the times and know that one of the fastest ways to gain popularity and promote their products is through live streaming with influencers.

They are well aware of the massive online presence that Lishan Farm has garnered, thanks to the viral images of the rapeseed flower fields.

Just a while ago, they checked Lishan Farm's videos. The farm had posted two videos, and the first one already had 800,000 likes. The second video, which was posted more recently, had also gone viral and was approaching 300,000 likes.

With just two videos, they had already gained 200,000 followers, and the numbers were still growing. Once the agricultural bureau set up a live stream, they knew it would attract a lot of attention.

It was clear that Mr. Zhang, the owner of Lishan Farm, was truly impressive.

Therefore, they were very enthusiastic about collaborating with Lishan Farm and grateful for the opportunity to promote their fruits.

"Everyone, let's go. I'll take you to meet Mr. Zhang," Lin Mengxi smiled, inviting the fruit farmers. She had to admit that these farmers were quite tech-savvy and understood the online world, which saved her a lot of trouble.

Hearing her call, the group left the agricultural bureau and headed to Lishan Farm.

When Lin Mengxi parked her car in the farm's parking lot, she noticed that the farm was even busier than in the morning. There were many tourists coming and going.

The fruit farmers also saw the crowds. This scene was busier than the 4A scenic area in You City, and it was only the second day of Lishan Farm's opening.

Considering the farm's online popularity, the number of visitors would undoubtedly surge at a terrifying rate. Even without the live stream, the farm itself would generate significant sales and publicity.

Seeing the bustling farm, they were even more enthusiastic about this collaboration.

At that moment, they saw a young man riding a dirt-covered scooter straight toward them.

It seemed the rapeseed flower fields were indeed popular, and this young man had come alone on his scooter.

Lin Mengxi saw Zhang Lin and called out from a distance, "Mr. Zhang, were you out on business?"

This surprised the fruit farmers.

This young man on the scooter was the owner of Lishan Farm?

He wasn't what they expected.

However, the fact that he was so young and had managed to create such a successful farm only made him more impressive.

Zhang Lin heard Lin Mengxi's call and rode his scooter over, "Miss Lin, you're back so soon!"

He also noticed the people behind her and guessed they were the fruit farmers.

Lin Mengxi introduced them, "Mr. Zhang, these are the blueberry and plum farmers. Director Wei asked me to bring them here to discuss collaboration. They've brought a batch of plums and blueberries with them."

The fruit farmers immediately stepped forward, speaking with flattery, "Mr. Zhang, you're so accomplished at such a young age."

"Yes, to achieve so much at your age is truly remarkable."

"Mr. Zhang, we're counting on your farm for our plums and blueberries."

"..."

After all, their fruits now depended on his farm.

"Everyone, let's take a look at your fruits," Zhang Lin understood their enthusiasm. They were all working hard for a living, and it wasn't easy.

One of the fruit farmers immediately led the way, "Mr. Zhang, the fruits are in my car. This batch is for Lishan Farm."

By his car, they could see that it was indeed loaded with blueberries and plums.

Zhang Lin got in the car and checked the fruits. They were of excellent quality, and he told the farmers, "Let's move the fruits inside and put them on the sales stand for a trial sale."

The fruit farmer immediately responded, "Everyone, let's help move these fruits inside."

As the fruit farmers started to move the fruits, Zhang Lin also got on his scooter, and, "Lin him,, " him" " him Lin the farm, less, ", "Miss.,,, " Lin Mengxi, "="),. Although, "0), " farmers are the to the them, " invite to take you to the area's, ".

him to the service center.. "Miss Lin, " Zhang Lin, "'s a scooter, and we'll take you service center,,. "Miss Lin, you're a ride to the service center,, "Where are you going, Miss Lin?"

"Sure, that's fine. I'll take you to the service center to save you a few steps," Zhang Lin said, "'s not a problem at all.

visitors.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang," Lin Mengxi didn any qualms about the dirt on the scooter, and she got on the back seat without hesitation. all. After all, she worked at the agricultural bureau and was no stranger to dirt.

.

Zhang Lin started the scooter and rode it to the service center.

.

Lin Mengxi indeed noticed that the farm was busier than in the morning. The ticket counter was already queuing,, and the service center was filled with tourists resting or entering the restaurant.

.

It was hard to believe that this was a farm that had only been open for two days. It was truly incredible.

.

Zhang Lin had just parked his scooter when Mu Chen, the ticket seller, rushed over, ", "Boss, you're finally back. We have a situation that needs your immediate attention."

She handed him a tablet connected to the ticketing system.

.

Zhang Lin took the tablet and, and the the situation. He was surprised by what he saw, but it was a situation that he hadn't anticipated at all.
