The rebirth of the wife and children

Page 558

With such an interruption, he also forgot to ask about Li Qiang's fortune.

After all, they are all rumors. How many rumors are true these days?

Li Qiang asked him: "Old Bian, what are you doing now?"

"It's still the same as before. Get some fruit from here today, and get some fruit from somewhere tomorrow, and make a little difference back and forth." Bian Chengguang said.

After Li Qiang listened, he nodded and said: "You are not bad, you can earn money, it's not like the bear I used to be, busy from morning to night all day and can't make much money."

"Boss Li, let's stop flattering each other. By the way, where are you going to drive if you don't guard the door at this point?" Bian Chengguang then remembered and asked him.

After saying that, Bian Chengguang looked at Li Qiang's current outfit, white shirt, black suit pants, and a pair of brown pointed leather shoes. senior white-collar workers.

Could it be that Boss Li thinks that selling fruit is not profitable, so he went to work in a company?

Li Qiang didn't care about what he was wearing. He had been busy contacting and developing new channels for the past few days. He thought he couldn't dress too casually, otherwise people wouldn't believe his strength.

From the very beginning, he adjusted the matching of a white shirt, trousers and leather shoes, but he didn't know how much he added.

Hearing Bian Chengguang's question, he said with a smile: "What else can I do? Let's wander around and see which community has a high population flow. I'm thinking about finding another place to set up a store."

"The store you used to make is not making any money. Hey, it's getting more and more difficult to do fruit business this year." Bian Chengguang sighed, and the expression on his face was not as high-spirited as before.

Li Qiang followed suit and nodded: "That's right, now everyone is riding a tricycle to set up a stall to sell fruit, and the price is still so low, how can you compete."

"What you said is really hateful, and my door has been squeezed to the point where I can't hold it anymore."

Speaking of this, Bian Chengguang sighed again, and said, "Boss Li, to tell you the truth, I'm planning to change my career recently. Selling fruit is not a good way to do it. Our Bocheng Fruit Wholesale Market started this year. You don't know what happened."

"Early this year?" Li Qiang thought for a while, and suddenly thought of something, he said, "You're talking about the incident about Liu Yukun, who was a dried fruit wholesaler?"

Bian Chengguang nodded vigorously: "Isn't it him? Last year, he borrowed a lot of money when selling dried fruits in wholesale, but you also know what the fruit business was like last year. There were not many people who could make money. He No exception, the bigger he did, the more he lost. In the end, he couldn't even earn the money to repay the debt, so the debt collectors chased him to the fruit wholesale market, and more than a dozen people beat him to the bone , When the police came to deal with it, Liu Yukun didn't even say a fart..."

"But it's useless. Someone stabbed him in April this year, but he couldn't be saved. I heard that the person who stabbed him has been chasing him for debts, but Liu Yukun's money is all on the fruit. Where does he have the money to pay back!"

While talking, he talked about himself again: "I'm also a bear, and I can't bear it any longer. I thought, while I still have some money on hand, I should change my career to do something else!"

Speaking of this, he suddenly slapped his head and remembered something again: "Boss Li, I asked you just now, but you haven't said anything about it. The market says that you are making a lot of money now, and the fruits come in and out every few days." The amount is huge, what are you doing now, see if you can give me a hand."

Boss Li was here just now, and now they are calling each other brothers.

Li Qiang shook the car keys in his hand and said, "Do you think I look like I'm making money? They're all talking nonsense. I'm no different from you. Small shops don't make money. done."

What he said was quite similar, Bian Chengguang thought about it, and finally chose to believe him.

After the mutton soup was served, Bian Chengguang ordered 4 more meat-stuffed hot pots and 2 five-spice hot pots.

"Boss Li, eat it while it's hot. It will be very fishy when it's cold. I'll ask the shop owner to add some more after the soup is finished. I've been here to drink it once, and the soup here is pretty good." Cheng Guang said.

Chapter 1100 Do you have any advantages?

Li Qiang took a sip with a spoon, and it had a faint smell of mutton, but the shop owner covered it up with a few drops of sesame oil, and sprinkled it with a layer of green coriander leaves. When drinking, there was still a faint fragrance.

As for the other flavors, Li Qiang really didn't sing them out. After all the seasonings such as chili, pepper, salt, cumin powder, and monosodium glutamate are put in, the delicious lamb bone soup will change its taste.

After taking a few sips of soup and a piece of minced meat on fire, Li Qiang asked him: "Old man, you really don't plan to continue the dried fruit business anymore, do you want to change careers?"

"What else can I do? There may still be hope for changing careers. If you don't change careers, according to the current momentum, you are waiting for death. Let's find a way to survive." Bian Chengguang was full of emotion.

After a long time in one line of work, it's not that it's really difficult to do it, and no one will change careers at this juncture.

Once it is really changed, it also means that the resources and reputation accumulated in the early years will disappear directly.

"Old Bian, do you still use the original mobile phone number?" Li Qiang asked him.

He didn't feel embarrassed at all when he asked this question. It's just like this. Let alone two friends who are traveling together, sometimes the family doesn't keep in touch for a year or two. It's not uncommon.

Bian Chengguang was not sure about Li Qiang's tricks, but when he heard him asking if his mobile phone number had changed, Bian Chengguang nodded quickly: "It's still the same mobile phone number, why, Boss Li, you have connections!"

"Not yet. I'll let you know if there is a way. By the way, those resource channels you used to dump fruits are still there." Li Qiang asked him again.

It's the same in this industry, everyone has their own independent channel, which is the foundation of their survival, and it's a secret, but when the fruit wholesale grows bigger, no one has ordered their own site.

As for the terminal distributors who have to drive and ride three rounds to the fruit wholesale market to grab the freshest fruits at two or three o'clock in the morning, that is the worst.

Not to mention Bian Chengguang, at least he is a level higher than these dealers.

Hearing Li Qiang asking him this question, Bian Chengguang didn't figure out what his purpose was for a while, and he didn't get anything out of Li Qiang's mouth. He wondered in his heart whether Li Qiang really had other connections ?

The visitors ate and chatted. The breakfast, which could have been settled in ten minutes or so, took more than half an hour. Li Qiang went ahead and paid by scanning the QR code with EasyPay, which caused Bian Chengguang to complain about him.

"Boss, let's do this today. If I make a decision another day, I'll call you. You have to maintain your channel. Don't lose it. I really won't talk to you then." Li Qiang went up Before the car left, he said very seriously.

Watching Li Qiang drive away, Bian Chengguang kept staring at the rear of his car, wondering what Li Qiang was doing, why he always felt that his spirit was different, not like the one who was bitterly guarding the door before Boss Li, who sells fruit, is gone, but it gives people a very trustworthy feeling.

This feels a bit sinister.

Li Qiang didn't think as much as he did. He immediately drove along the side of the road and walked along this street from Nantou to Beitou. On the way, he came across a fruit shop or a slightly larger supermarket. Stores and restaurants, etc. Li Qiang will be patient and come to the store owner or person in charge to talk about fruit supply issues.

Stopping and stopping like this, another morning passed. Li Qiang walked north along this street and walked to the end. There is a colorful light box plaque on a black background.

The plaque reads "Happy Ocean Cafeteria" in large characters. Li Qiang was stunned for a while. There is also a cafeteria here?

Thinking of this, he simply parked the car near the door, then sat in the car, turned the air conditioner to the first gear, and stared at the main entrance of the cafeteria.

After staring at it for about half an hour, Li Qiang found that the attendance rate of this cafeteria was quite fast. He wondered how big the restaurant was, so why not go up and have a look, just in time for lunch .

It was only after Li Qiang came up that he realized that there was still a queue at the top, and there was an open door next to it. From this door, he could see the crowds in the restaurant and the restaurant's space of at least 1000 square meters.

This is a cafeteria about the size of Baofei Cafeteria in Yintai City, and it is also very popular here.

Li Qiang thought to himself, there are still many capable people doing business these days, not just his uncle.

He had been running all morning, and when it was finally his turn to go in, he was so hungry that he gnawed on two big bones with meat on them. I went to the fruit area and pretended to pick up the fruit, but I was quietly observing the frequency of the guests in the restaurant picking up the fruit, their preference for the fruit, etc.

Just like this, Li Qiang stared at him for half an hour. At one point, many people stared at him with strange eyes. He probably wondered if this person had any special hobbies.

After observing, Li Qiang was not interested in other areas in the restaurant. He picked some delicious-looking meals at random, and after filling his stomach, he looked at a plump figure in his 20s. The woman walked past his table, and he quickly stood up and shouted, "Excuse me, manager."

Du Yanling, who was walking ahead, heard someone yelling, she stopped, turned around, and looked at Li Qiang with slight doubt in her eyes.

"This handsome guy, were you calling me just now? Do you have any suggestions for improving our restaurant?" Du Yanling asked very tactfully.

Li Qiang knew that she had misunderstood, so he immediately explained something, and finally said: "Manager Du, I have something to talk to your boss about, can you give me a contact information?"

How could the boss's phone number be given out casually? Du Yanling was alerted when Li Qiang asked for their boss's contact information. She frowned and asked, "What can you do with our boss? For ordinary things, You tell me, I can solve it too."

This time even the handsome guy didn't call out.

Li Qiang thought about it, and thought it would be okay to find her.

The next moment, Li Qiang took out his business card from his pocket, handed it to Du Yanling, and said, "Manager Du, this is my business card, it looks like this, I am the president of Qiangyun Fruit Wholesale Co., Ltd." Manager Li Qiang, our company is mainly engaged in fruit wholesale and channel terminals, a cafeteria as big as ours, the fruit consumption in a day is not a small amount."

Good guy, I've even thought about the name, it's the title of general manager, but it's rare for the general manager to come out to run business in person.

The first reaction in Du Yanling's heart was that it was a lie. No matter how down-and-out the company is, if the general manager comes out to run business in person, at least there must be a helper employee, but Li Qiang is alone, and even though he is well dressed The board is upright, but the quality of the clothes is not good. From this point of view, Du Yanling does not believe that he is the general manager of a certain company.

But having said that, who still prints business cards these days, who doesn't have a few titles that can bluff people.

Not to mention the general manager of a certain company, even the boss of a certain company, no one cares about you. The only thing they care about is whether the salary can be paid as usual.

"Mr. Li, can you tell me, who are your company's clients?" Du Yanling asked politely, and she was going to let Li Qiang leave tactfully when she couldn't justify her words.

Du Yanling thought well, but Li Qiang was seriously looking for new channels. He had no intention of hiding anything, so he said it directly: "Manager Du, we Qiangyun Fruit Wholesale Co., Ltd. have a lot of customers, but Among them, the most famous ones are Baofei Cafeteria and Baofei Convenience Store. Now like the Baofei Cafeteria in Yintai City Store in Bocheng, and more than 60 convenience stores in Bocheng, they are all supplied by our company. fruit……"

"In addition, for the sake of long-term development, our company has been developing new customers recently. In this regard, it has also achieved initial results. For example..."

He listed many examples in one breath, which confused Du Yanling, is it true or not?

"Mr. Li, you just said that Baofei Convenience Store and Baofei Cafeteria are your customers. You can't talk nonsense about that." Du Yanling specially reminded him.

On the site of Bo City, 90.00% of the people would think carefully about anything related to Baofei Group.

Li Qiang smiled. He took out a folder from his bag, opened it overnight, handed it to Du Yanling, and said, "There is really nothing to hide, Manager Du, look, this is the folder between us and Bao Bao." An agreement was initially signed when the Philippine convenience store cooperated, and the specific contract involves some commercial secrets, so I can’t provide it to you.”

Du Yanling looked at the information carefully, and it generally means that Baofei Convenience Store and Qiangyun Fruit Wholesale Co., Ltd. have been working closely together for more than two and a half years.

Du Yanling was serious this time, she took a look at Li Qiang without losing her composure, and asked him: "Mr. Li, if you compare your Qiangyun Fruit Wholesale Co., Ltd. with the fruit suppliers that our cafeteria is currently cooperating with, who is better?" Advantages? What are the advantages?"

Li Qiang felt that this question was too unprofessional, and he didn't even want to answer it, but he also knew that this key point was not the time for him to be arrogant.

He stretched out two fingers and said, "There are many problems in various details, but I will summarize them."

Li Qiang said: "In my opinion, I can summarize it into two points, the main ones are quality and price advantages."

Hearing what he said, Du Yanling fell silent.

Chapter 1101 I rely on relationships to open a door

"Quality and price?" Du Yanling thought in her heart, and this summary is also one-sided.

Those who sell products door-to-door, who can't say a word, how good the quality of our products is, and how affordable the price is, but what's the use, it's not different from others at all, and it can't highlight your advantages.

The next moment, Du Yanling asked a question: "President Li, I want to know why Baofei Cafeteria chose you?"

"..."

Li Qiang was silent, this question was really sharp, he was speechless.

When he was first selected as the exclusive fruit supplier of Baofei Convenience Store, he thought about this question, why he was selected by others, but when Baofei Convenience Store opened, he accidentally saw When his uncle was the owner of Baofei convenience store, he understood everything.

Li Qiang thought for a while and said, "I opened a door based on my relationship, but the quality of our products is indeed top-notch. Otherwise, Baofei Convenience Store and Baofei Cafeteria will slap themselves in the face. Certainly not."

"In addition, we purchase in large quantities. I have a special procurement and inspection team outside, and I purchase directly from the place of origin. I also have my own orchard. In terms of price, I can give the best price for the same product."

"Relationship?" Du Yanling grasped this crucial word in an instant. She was worthy of being a woman, and her curiosity prompted her to ask again: "What is the relationship?"

If it's about being an official, she really has to think about it. Those who are in business generally can't easily offend an official. Otherwise, just picking on your small problems will be enough for you to drink a pot.

Li Qiang shook his head and said, "Manager Du, in this way, you can give me your boss's phone number, or you can tell your boss that I came here with the greatest sincerity. I just observed your fruit area for half an hour. The situation, in general, in general..."

He then raised his finger and pointed around, followed: "It seems that this is not suitable for chatting, and it will delay others from getting the ingredients."

Du Yanling came back to her senses and saw that she was still standing in the middle of the aisle, really blocking the way of others.

"I'm going to tell our boss right now, just wait a moment." Du Yanling went to ask for instructions.

After finishing speaking, under Li Qiang's eyes, she didn't go out, but walked towards the restaurant, and then stopped a middle-aged man in ordinary clothes at the food area, leaned over her head and said something in a low voice The middle-aged man in a T-shirt and gray slacks glanced at Li Qiang after listening.

Li Qiang was taken aback when he saw his action. Is that person the owner of this restaurant?

He just stayed in the restaurant?

Such people are really rare.

Not long after, Du Yanling brought the middle-aged man over, and when she walked to Li Qiang's table, she introduced him: "This is Mr. Du, the owner of our Happy Ocean Cafeteria."

"Mr. Du is Mr. Li Qiang from Qiangyun Fruit Wholesale I mentioned just now."

Boss Du nodded: "Yanling, go get busy!"

"Okay!" Du Yanling went to patrol again.

When Li Qiang heard that the middle-aged man was also named Du, and the female manager just now was also named Du, he took a closer look, and the two of them could really see a bit of imagination from the contours of their faces.

Hey, this is so funny father and daughter?

"Mr. Li doesn't mind if I sit down and eat together." Boss Du said modestly.

Li Qiang smiled and nodded: "President Du, please sit down."

"Li is always in the fruit business? How big is it?" Boss Du asked him in a flat voice.

Li Qiang said: "Mr. Du, I am now mainly supplying the direct fruit supply of Baofei cafeteria and more than 60 Baofei convenience stores in Bocheng. To tell you the truth, our company plans to develop more channels in the next step. If it works, if Mr. Du completes our Happy Ocean Cafeteria, it will be our customer in the future."

"You are honest, but I heard from Yanling just now that you were able to break into the Baofei cafeteria because of your relationship?" Boss Du directly pointed it out. I don't know if it's because of his personality or on purpose.

He said: "I'm more curious, what is your relationship?"

"Mr. Li, I don't mean anything else. In a cafeteria like ours, there are two meals a day at noon and evening, and the amount of fruit is indeed very large. We all have our own dedicated purchasing team, and we also buy in bulk. I can't do it for no reason. Give this piece to a stranger for supply!"

Li Qiang nodded, and said: "Mr. Du is right, how about this, let me tell you something, please Mr. Du keep it secret for me."

"Tell me, I really don't like to reveal other people's affairs." Boss Du said seriously, this is his principle of life.

Li Qiang chose to believe it, and it wasn't a big secret anyway: "Mr. Du, Shang Fuhai of Baofei Group is my uncle."

"..."

No wonder Du Xinghong, the owner of the Happy Ocean Cafeteria, never thought of such a relationship.
