Chapter 5: Wholesale! Call Manager Zhang!
Chapter 5: Wholesale! Call Manager Zhang!
It's no wonder Zhang Lin was wary of the old man. After him yesterday.... yesterday, actions were too remarkable. all with the stall owner without a word of warning.
"Boss, are these sweet peaches also a new variety? Thirty yuan per pound?" the old man asked as soon as he reached the stall.
The slogan sounded so familiar to him.
Zhang Lin, hearing the old man use "also" twice, quickly grabbed a peach, washed it, and handed it to him. "Sir, try one first!"
The old man didn't refuse, took a bite, and as the sweet and fragrant taste exploded in his mouth, his eyes lit up. Without a second thought, he continued to munch on the peach and soon finished it.
Because these sweet peaches were truly delicious.
At his age, he had never tasted such a delectable peach.
He understood now that Liyuan Farm had indeed developed a new variety, and the man he encountered yesterday was a fraud, a black-hearted cheat.
"Sir, our new variety is really delicious, right? We spent a lot of money on research," Zhang Lin emphasized the cost.
He hoped the old man would understand and not lie down in front of his stall.
To his surprise, the old man nodded and then and said very0, and0, " Boss, I want 100 pounds of these sweet peaches. Yesterday, a black-hearted guy pushed me and had to pay 3000 yuan. I might as well buy some peaches to share with the neighbors!"
"..." Zhang Lin was taken aback.
What's going on?
Liu De, however, didn't hesitate and started packing peaches into bags.
100 pounds wasn't a small amount, and the old man couldn't carry it alone. He called two burly men to help.
Seeing the peaches priced at 30 yuan per pound and the old man buying 100 pounds, the two men thought he had been duped.
"Dad, why are you buying so many peaches?"
"Exactly, 30 yuan per pound? You must have been tricked!"
The old man didn't say anything but handed each of the men a peach.
After tasting the peaches, their expressions changed.
"Dad, you won't finish all these peaches. I'll take some home!"
"Dad, my grandson loves peaches!"
Zhang Lin breathed a sigh of relief as the old man and the two men left with the peaches.
It seemed the old man wasn't unreasonable. The stall owner from yesterday must have gotten what he deserved for trying to trick him with ordinary peaches.
As the loudspeaker called out, just like yesterday, people were drawn to the stall. After tasting the sweet peaches, most of them bought some.
"Boss, I'll take 10 pounds of sweet peaches," a young woman said, holding a man's arm.
The man, who hadn't tasted them, smiled and praised, "Boss, your peaches are really delicious. My wife bought some yesterday, and everyone at home couldn't get enough. We came back today to buy more."
Zhang Lin naturally took the opportunity to promote, "Sir, developing this new variety required a lot of research funds. If they weren't delicious, we'd have wasted our efforts."
Liu De silently weighed and handed over 10 pounds of peaches to the man, who paid 300 yuan via WeChat.
Not just the young woman, soon a group of older women approached, led by a familiar face who had bought 30 pounds of peaches yesterday.
"The peaches are from here. If you want more, buy them yourself. I sent some to my son."
The other women stepped forward:
"Boss, I'll take 10 pounds!"
"I want 8 pounds."
"Boss, give me a bag, I'll pick them myself!"
"..."
Clearly, these women had tasted the peaches before and were very enthusiastic about buying more. This enthusiasm influenced others, making Zhang Lin's stall even more popular.
Food can't be faked.
A product that is better than what's available on the market, making people want more, will naturally become popular if no one is against it.
Zhang Lin's sweet peaches were just like that.
So, by the second day, there were already repeat customers, and sales were significantly better than the first day. By noon, all 500 pounds of sweet peaches were sold out.
Seeing this, Zhang Lin and Liu De found a restaurant for lunch and then hurried back to the farm to load the remaining 500 pounds of peaches onto the truck, returning to the same spot to set up the stall again.
(End of Chapter)The loudspeaker had barely been turned back on when the high school girl from yesterday, wearing her school uniform, arrived with several of her classmates, all dressed in their school uniforms.
Dressed in her school uniform, with her innocent and beautiful face and a ponytail, she radiated an irresistible youthful charm.
Zhang Lin was still taken aback when he saw the girl again.
He couldn't understand why he would encounter a high school girl who looked so much like his first love.
The moment the girl and her friends reached his stall, she said, "Boss, I brought my classmates to buy peaches like I promised. To help you promote, I even shared one peach with them for them to taste."
Zhang Lin was stunned. "I, I, I can't share just one peach with so many people. But, just a bit of peaches, just one peach. You can pay for it. I'll give you a good price, a smile."
The girl smiled, "You should at least let them taste an extra peach. If they taste them, they might buy more. Besides, your peaches are sweet and more expensive, so it's a good deal. It will enhance their experience, and at least let them taste an extra peach."
Zhang Lin, still a bit hesitant, finally smiled, "Alright, I'll give you a few extra peaches for them to taste."
As the sun began to set, Zhang Lin's balance had already reached 32,136.42. The remaining peaches, if sold, would push the balance over 33,000.
Zhang Lin was deep in thought when a middle-aged man approached his stall with a broad smile. "Hey, young man, are you from a farm that does wholesale business?"
Zhang Lin looked up, "Yes, I am. I'm from Lin Farm. What can I do for you?"
The man extended his hand, "I'm the manager of a local supermarket. I'm interested in buying a large quantity of your peaches. We can discuss a good price."
Zhang Lin's face lit up, "That sounds great. Let's talk about the details. Here's my phone number. Call me anytime."
The man nodded, took the phone number, and said, "I'll do that. Thanks, and keep up the good work."
