Chapter 44 Selling Ducks
Zhou Cai is the manager of the purchasing department of the provincial capital "Fulinmen" hotel. In recent years, as the hotel scale continues to expand, his status has also increased. He rarely goes to the raw materials to purchase raw materials in person.
But this time, the hotel owner, his father-in-law, ordered him to go to Tianzhou County, which is more than 200 kilometers away from the provincial capital to negotiate a business. In this way, Zhou Cai, who has been pampering for several years, had to get up at 5 a.m. and take the first intercity express shift to Tianzhou County.
According to the meaning revealed by my father-in-law, this business was introduced by a criminal police captain of the High-tech Zone Public Security Bureau. Zhou Cai, who had been in the catering industry for a long time, naturally knew the weight. He always had to manage all aspects of the relationships in business before the business could be prosperous.
However, when the other party got off the car, he had already called. This feeling made a little resentment that Zhou Cai had accumulated on the road disappear.
"Hello, I am Zhou Cai from 'Fulinmen', is it Mr. Cen?" Before coming, Zhou Cai had already obtained some information from his father-in-law's house to pick up the car today.
"Well, it's me, Mr. Zhou, you walk out of the exit of the station directly. I'm waiting for you across the road. I'm wearing a silver-gray jacket." Listening to the other party's voice, Cen Jiahua held back his smile and said.
"Well, there is no problem, I will meet you later." When Zhou Cai saw that the other party was speaking clearly and had already explained the details clearly, he stopped talking nonsense.
After putting away the phone, Cen Jiahua began to stare at the exit of the station so as not to find someone as soon as possible.
After a while, a large group of people came out from the exit of the station, and the brothers and sisters who were beside each other immediately surrounded him, hoping to attract the first guest in the morning.
Those who were squinting at the pulling of their brothers and sisters, mostly those who walked away were locals back from other places; those who were hesitantly bargaining with the owners were all foreigners, and those who were holding mobile phones and then looking around were foreigners who came to pick up the car.
At this time, Cen Jiahua saw a tall and fair man about 185cm tall and holding a leather bag in one hand and a mobile phone in the other, squeezing out of the crowd, standing on the side of the road and looking at this side.
As soon as he confirmed the target, Cen Jiahua immediately started the motorcycle, carefully crossed the road, and came to Zhou Cai's side.
"Is it sir? I'm Xiao Cen who was on the phone with you just now." The motorcycle stopped beside him, and Cen Jiahua explained in a puzzled look.
"Oh, I am Zhou Cai, you are Mr. Cen." When Zhou Cai heard Cen Jiahua's voice, he knew that he was the owner who picked up the car today, and he hurriedly started greetings.
"We're not too polite. Let's go quickly while the sun is not strong now. The reservoir is still 30 kilometers away from the county town." Seeing that she was not wrong, Cen Jiahua naturally stopped talking nonsense.
When Zhou Cai heard that there were still 30 kilometers, he felt even more depressed, but now he couldn't say anything, so he had to get on the motorcycle silently.
On the way back, Cen Jiahua naturally would not be as leisurely as when he came. He accelerated his speed and only took less than half an hour to return to the dam.
"Mr. Cen, where is the duck farm? Take me to see it!" As soon as he got off the car, Zhou Cai couldn't wait to ask to go to the duck farm to take a look.
For Zhou Cai, it is the most important thing to finish the business quickly and then take the afternoon intercity fast class meeting in the provincial capital.
"We are on the small island in the middle of the reservoir, and we will take a boat here." Cen Jiahua was reluctant to ask for Zhou Cai's request, after all, it was still important to do the important thing.
In this way, Cen Jiahua and Wu Fang, who had been preparing for a long time, took Zhou Cai to get off the dock and took a boat to the breeding farm.
"Boss Cen, how big is your farm in total?" On the boat, Zhou Cai began to ask Cen Jiahua some questions about the farm.
"My farm consists of three small islands, and there are 2,000 chickens, ducks and geese each. It is now in the forge stage and will be gradually expanded in the future." When it comes to her own farm, Cen Jiahua is naturally full of hope.
"Oh, that's good." Zhou Cai looked at Cen Jiahua in surprise. He had also seen many farms, and in the early stage, there were thousands of stocks, which were quite large.
"Our farms have selected the best seedlings on the market. The whole process of pure grain feeding is guaranteed to be green and pollution-free dishes." Cen Jiahua knew that his second brother would naturally not introduce some second-deao dealers or people from small shops. Of course, he wanted to make the business done, so he spared no effort to introduce them.
"Well, our hotel just needs this kind of green and pollution-free poultry." Everyone can say beautiful scenes, but Zhou Cai still chose to trust his own eyes because some owners would talk about their farms in a scattered way, but in fact they were not that good at all.
Zhou Cai's eyes couldn't help but lit up when he climbed on the island with green grass and lively and healthy ducks. At this time, Cen Jiahua didn't say much. After all, facts are better than words, and it is still the right thing to ask others to check them carefully.
Zhou Cai had been struggling in the food procurement industry for more than ten years and had developed a pair of poisonous eyes. The general details could not escape his observation. After just wandering around the island, he knew that what Cen Jiahua said was true. This farm was a duck fed by pure grain.
Now, it is too rare to find a farm that does not use feed to feed poultry at all. After all, the cost of feeding is much lower. Zhou Cai secretly thanked that he found a good food supply point, so he naturally thought about making the business done.
"Xiao Cen, Brother Zhou is here to disturb you at noon today. I wonder if you will be welcome?" Zhou Cai, who made up his mind, naturally put down his posture and made a gesture of wanting to make friends. First, to bring the relationship closer to both parties, and second, to taste the taste of the duck to see if it is just right, so that the price can be set.
"It is our honor to stay for lunch by Brother Zhou. How can we not welcome it? Our conditions here are simple, but the ducks are enough!" Cen Jiahua knew from the changes in the other party's name, and now he was thinking of a way to get close to it.
At this point, Cen Jiahua finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the rest was bargaining.
At noon that day, Zhou Cai felt more and more that the duck was really good. The meat was delicate, fragrant but not a trace of fishy smell. This was just boiled in white water. If it was cooked by the hotel chef, it would soon become the signature dish of "Fulinmen"?
After a hard bargaining, Cen Jiahua finally reached an agreement with "Fulinmen" and became a special supplier of "Fulinmen". "Fulinmen" acquired all the production of Cen Jiahua's breeding farm at a price of 20% higher than the market price, but before ensuring the supply of "Fulinmen", Cen Jiahua could not sell poultry to other hotels without authorization.
That night, Zhou Cai did not return to the provincial capital, but reported the situation to his father-in-law on the phone and asked him to send a car from the provincial capital in the early morning. When he arrived here in the morning, he just caught the scale while the duck was still hungry.
Zhou Cai was in a good mood and no longer cared about the simple conditions on the dam and lived happily. After getting familiar with Cen Jiahua, he gradually became interested in this college student who came alone from the provincial capital to Rongshu Village to start a business. Although he could only know a little about the basics of talking to Cen Jiahua, he was surprised enough.
The next morning, the truck sent from the provincial capital had already arrived at the dam and was waiting for the ducks to load. Old Chen was also notified by Cen Jiahua last night and brought a few people to help. A thousand ducks said that they were not too much. They just had to transport them from the island, and they still needed more effort and some manpower.
In this way, some people caught ducks in the duck shed and put cages. Then Lao Chen and Wang San Uncle were responsible for rowing and transporting, and Cen Jiahua and a few strong men were waiting at the dock to transport. A group of people started to work before the sun rose. The shouts and noises of "rattle" pierced the quiet morning of the reservoir, bringing infinite vitality and vitality.
The ducks in the farm are basically over 3 kilograms, and they are evenly sized. A bamboo-woven cage can be filled with 10 pieces and it will be at the top. Originally, Cen Jiahua thought that the ducks would be sold in several times, so he only prepared 30 large cages. When the matter came, he found that the cages were not enough.
Later, he had to stay on the dam in person, waiting for the villagers to move the cages up and start weighing them. After that, he put the ducks in the truck and freed up the cages to continue loading the ducks.
When every duck was caught, he was rattled all day long, even the female duck who didn't make a sound on weekdays. But these screams that sounded a little harsh in the past sounded really enjoyable to Cen Jiahua, because this was his first income in the true sense.
The louder the duck crows, the more it means that the career is about to reach a new height. This is a harvest song. After working so hard for a whole morning, basically everyone is exhausted. Except for the number of people who have been reading the next to them, they have registered.
When all the ducks were loaded into the car, Zhou Cai and Cen Jiahua began to settle the accounts. 990 ducks, a little over 3,500 kilograms, Cen Jiahua generously removed the fraction, 16 yuan per kilogram, which was exactly 56,000 yuan. Zhou Cai saw that Cen Jiahua was so refreshing and did not care about him, and he became more fond of him, so he paid all the cash very happily.
