Chapter 3772 Reliable employees
Not everyone in rural areas may have a motorcycle, but almost all men can ride one because it is not difficult to learn. If someone else has one, they can borrow it and learn it in a while.
Xu Bo rode Liu Chuanzhi's motorcycle and a huge sum of fifty thousand yuan appeared in his bank account. He felt that his life finally changed dramatically on this day.
He never thought that one day he would encounter so much good luck at the same time. When he got a job, his boss was generous and trusted him. As soon as he started working, it was equivalent to getting a leadership position, but it was still a fat job.
However, in Xu Bo's heart, he could never let go of Zhu Cheng's trust and Liu Chuanzhi's recommendation, so in the eyes of others he was a fat man. However, he did not intend to embezzle a dime, and he would even save what he could.
With the current situation of his family, he really needs such a stable job. He can take care of his parents' home and still go to work to make money. This is something he never dared to dream of before.
The motorcycle was speeding on the road, all the way to the farmer's market in the county. Although Xu Bo had never done it before, he roughly knew where to go to buy some things.
He carefully locked the motorcycle at the entrance of the farmer's market, where it could be captured by surveillance cameras, and then walked in.
Their main industry here is agriculture, so the farmers' market is relatively developed and looks very lively inside.
But Xu Bo's ordinary attire did not seem to have the temperament to be a boss or a leader, so after entering, he was not treated warmly. Bosses wearing suits, luxury car keys hanging around their waists, and leather bags under their arms entered.
Here, you will soon be surrounded by a group of people.
Xu Bo was also happy about this, and he started to wander around the farmer's market. Only when others didn't pay attention to him could he observe others better.
There are many projects operated here, including businesses related to agricultural planting and breeding, etc.
From the signboards of each store, you can see the main items they deal with.
After shopping around for a while, he probably had an idea, and finally chose a store of moderate size and walked in.
There are many landscape trees and saplings on display at the entrance of this store, as well as various fertilizers and pesticides, etc.
"Brother, what should I buy?"
Xu Bodu walked in, and the boss who was watching TV withdrew his gaze and turned around to ask.
"Saplings and alfalfa and other plant seeds suitable for livestock!"
Xu Bo answered casually while still checking the shelves in the store.
"Suitable for livestock to eat, the most popular ones now are alfalfa and chicory. Alfalfa makes livestock gain weight faster, while chicory tastes sweeter and can be eaten by humans, but livestock likes it more. Both of these are easy to grow and survive!"
"As for the trees, I can recommend you which one you want!"
The boss stood up and said very professionally.
This is very true. Xu Bo himself has understood that these two kinds of grass are indeed the most suitable for planting.
"As for plants, our company has contracted several hills to build a breeding farm that simulates a wild environment. The hills have been severely cut down, so we plant some trees to restore the natural environment. If these trees can survive easily, the farmed animals will
It’s also edible and looks good to watch, so that’s the best!”
Xu Bo stated his request.
"It's much easier. There are many trees whose leaves can be eaten, such as apricot trees, mulberry trees, toon, wolfberry, pepper, willow tree, locust tree, and elm tree. These trees have either leaves or flowers. Not only animals can eat them, but also people can eat them.
It’s edible! It’s also pretty good to watch!”
"Since you have many hills to plant, I suggest you plant some saplings of various kinds. This way, different flowers bloom in different seasons, and they look good. If you are hungry, you can get something to eat!"
"If you still need to look good in winter, plant some evergreen trees, such as pine and cypress, for decoration!"
"In this case, you can not only engage in breeding, but also engage in farm entertainment and tourism in the name of ecological farms!"
After the boss heard this, he immediately made very professional recommendations. Not only did he recommend trees, he even gave some suggestions on the management of the farm.
Of course, the reason why the boss knows so much is probably because there are many people who have engaged in related businesses. After he hears something, he can use it to learn and sell!
After Xu Bo listened, he glanced at the boss in surprise. The boss was really knowledgeable, and Xu Bo felt very good about the suggestion. He could go back and tell Boss Zhu about it. It was indeed a way to make money!
"Okay, let's talk about the price!"
Xu Bo knows that what this boss has, other bosses also have, so the main thing is to compare the prices, and then determine the quality, the size and growth status of the saplings, which also affect the survival rate.
"Don't worry, I'm in the wholesale business. If you want more, I'll give you the wholesale price and earn some money for running errands. It's definitely the lowest price in the market!"
The boss immediately patted his chest and said as if he was reliable.
But generally bosses who say this are not necessarily honest. This is just their words.
"Give me a total of alfalfa and chicory seeds that can be planted on a hundred acres of land. Please tell me the price!"
Xu Bo didn't listen to the other party's nonsense and asked the price directly.
Hearing Xu Bo's words, the other party's eyes lit up. One hundred acres of land is not small, and there must be a lot of seeds. He never thought that Xu Bo was not bragging, but he was really a big customer!
"I suggest planting a larger amount of alfalfa, planting seventy acres. The vitality of alfalfa is stronger, and the livestock can be driven directly into the alfalfa field to graze!"
"For chicory, I suggest planting thirty acres is enough. This is mainly for supplementing the livestock after harvesting manually!"
"By the way, you are an employee and are responsible for purchasing for the company, right?"
The boss still didn't say the price. After recommending the ratio, he asked Xu Bo.
"Um."
Xu Bo felt that the other party never mentioned the price, which was a bit strange, so he turned around and looked at the boss.
"Hahaha, I understand! I understand! Brother, this is our first time dealing with you. I am definitely sincere. According to the invoiced price, I will give you 30% back. How about that?"
The boss laughed a few times and said directly to Xu Bo.
Xu Bo frowned for a moment. What he said was too obvious. Although he had no experience, he could still hear it. This guy wanted him to get a kickback, but obviously if he wanted to get a kickback, the other party's purchase price would inevitably increase.
Very high, you are pulling yourself together to deceive Boss Zhu!
"I won't embezzle. I don't need you to return the money. Just give me the lowest price!"
The little goodwill Xu Bo had accumulated at the beginning suddenly disappeared. He felt that this boss's behavior of pulling others into trouble was really annoying.
The boss was stunned. He had never seen many employees who purchased goods for the company but did not make money for themselves. He found it unbelievable. There are still such people in this day and age?
Or did Xu Bo dislike him for returning too little?
"Brother, if you have any requirements, you can tell us and we can discuss it. If you think 30% is too low, you can also increase it. Even the purchase price may need to be increased appropriately!"
The boss said tentatively again, fearing that it was because Xu Bo thought the return was too little.
"I am leaving!"
Xu Bo got angry and turned around to leave.
"Hey, hey, hey! Stop! I was just kidding. Let's talk about the price in a down-to-earth manner now. Sit down, have a cup of tea, and let's talk slowly!"
The boss finally determined that Xu Bo was a person who didn't want kickbacks. Although he couldn't understand it, he still had to do business.
"Quote
Bar!"
Xu Bo nodded, he just wanted to buy the cheapest and most affordable things back.
"Alfalfa perennial seeds, my purchase price here is seven yuan per catty. I earn you one yuan per catty. How about eight yuan?"
The boss could see that Xu Bo was a down-to-earth person who did not dare to ask for high prices. He only wanted to win this business. He could make small profits but quick turnover. Anyway, if Xu Bo wanted more, he could make more profits.
.
"What about the price of chicory?"
Xu Bo took out his pen and started recording while asking.
"My purchase price is thirty-five yuan, I earn you two yuan, thirty-seven yuan!"
The boss was a little panicked when he saw Xu Bo's attitude as a student taking notes. In this case, the price would be more difficult to negotiate. They were most afraid of meeting serious customers, and if Xu Bo took this record and asked again
If there are several companies, I will have no advantage!
"Tell me the price and size data of those saplings too!"
Xu Bo continued without raising his head.
…
When the boss finished quoting, he felt hopeless, because he really quoted very low prices, but when he saw Xu Bo carefully recording each one, he felt that this business would be too difficult to do.
"Okay, you go ahead and do some shopping. I'll ask one more shop and do some shopping comparison!"
Sure enough, after Xu Bo finished recording, he did not decide to buy it on the spot, but planned to ask several more companies.
"Brother, this is not possible. Our quotation is a confidential matter! Besides, if you show it to others, others will definitely quote lower than me, but it is just to prevent me from doing business. After you confirm with others, they will quote
What comes out may not be what you asked for!"
The boss hurriedly stopped Xu Bo. Quotations cannot be easily seen by colleagues. Everyone has different purchase channels and different purchase prices. In addition, colleagues are enemies. If someone sees his price, he will know what he has purchased.
The price is high, and even if others can't quote a price lower than your own, they will still find ways to ruin their own business.
"I understand this, but I won't show them the price you quoted!"
Xu Bo put away his notebook, because it seemed that the other party was so anxious that he wanted to grab it.
"My price is really the lowest here, and I will tell you the profit!"
The boss said with a sincere look, still hoping that Xu Bo would make a deal with him directly.
"Everyone's purchase channels are different. Maybe the same thing is cheaper from someone else, or the quality of the product is better. I always want to compare, don't worry, if the things you have here are more competitive in all aspects
Li, I will be back!"
Xu Bo said firmly, he would not hang himself on a tree with a crooked neck!
The boss gritted his teeth and helplessly watched Xu Bo leave, drumming in his heart that the chance of this business being done was probably high, because he was not sure that his purchase price was the lowest and his seeds and saplings were better than others!
Xu Bo didn't mind the trouble, so he just walked for a while, chose a store, and asked the other party to quote him a price.
The situation was similar in every store. When I asked him whether he was purchasing for the company, he would always mention the issue of kickbacks. After he refused to accept bribes, those people could only offer honest prices, saying that they only wanted a small profit.
.
Xu Bo's requirements were very detailed, because not only the price was recorded, but also all kinds of data about the other party's seeds and saplings were asked and recorded.
The owner of each store was full of confidence at the beginning, but worried at the end. He felt that it was too difficult for Xu Bo to make money, and he didn't know whether he could win this business.
Most people shop around, but Xu Bo directly found five companies for quotations. After recording all the information in detail, he left the farmer's market and found a small noodle shop outside. He ordered a bowl of noodles to fill his stomach and ate while doing so.
