Traveling through the Republic of China, a delicate girl opened a factory to make money and won a lo

When Tang Baozhu and Song Xiaohua set out for Sangxiang, it was midday and the sun was scorching.

Fortunately, the factory provided a car, and Qiu Hu drove the car and quickly drove into the village entrance.

Old Zhou was just arranging lunch for his men. When he saw Miss Tang Er, she was still very enthusiastic in greeting him. He took off his straw hat, fanned herself, and warmly invited Tang Baozhu and her group to enter the breeding shed. He also glanced at Qiu Hu and joked,

"Miss Tang Er really has a keen eye for talent. After working with you, Ah Hu has become much more energetic."

Qiu Hu smiled.

"That's Miss Tang's kindness."

Tang Baozhu didn't bother to be polite with Lao Zhou and directly stated her purpose.

Old Zhou originally thought that Tang Baozhu was following the routine to check on the silkworm breeding situation. When he heard that she was here to purchase silk cocoons, he looked a little surprised.

"Why did Miss Tang Er come here in person?"

Tang Baozhu looked at Lao Zhou's embarrassed expression and hesitated.

"Can't I come to do the purchasing? Something happened to Wang Hongyan, and we are short of manpower for purchasing silkworm cocoons, so I am here to fill in."

After hearing Tang Baozhu's explanation, Lao Zhou did not ask how much they purchased. Instead, he looked at the three of them.

"In the past, it was always Li Li and Wang Hongyan who came to do the shopping. Li Li didn't come either?"

Tang Baozhu frowned even more. She had a good relationship with Lao Zhou and was always polite to him every time she came. But from what Lao Zhou said, he wanted Li Li to come over to talk.

"She is not available, so I will complete the task of purchasing silk cocoons from now on."

Old Zhou pondered for a moment, poured three cups of herbal tea, and sat down next to Tang Baozhu.

"This may be a little difficult to do. In the past few years, Wang Hongyan has been the one who comes here to purchase, so the silkworm farmers have all identified Wang Hongyan, so it may not work for a while."

Tang Baozhu raised her eyebrows.

"What? Does a purchasing agent have to choose the right dish? Is it because I, Miss Tang, am not qualified enough?"

Old Zhou waved his hands quickly.

"Of course it's not like that, it's just that everyone has developed a rule of not being famous, so they only recognize Wang Hongyan."

"Then tell me what the rules are."

Old Zhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This kind of secret transaction certainly couldn't be known to Tang Baozhu. After all, the money involved in the transaction was all from the Tang family, and everyone's profits were also from the Tang family. How could they sell themselves out?

"We also know about Wang Hongyan's situation. Why don't you ask Li Li to come over?"

Tang Baozhu talked to Lao Zhou about purchasing in a friendly manner, but Lao Zhou didn't want to take the order, so Tang Baozhu snorted coldly.

"I'm considering you because I have a good relationship with you, but Sang Township is so big, there are more than one breeding greenhouse, and we are just purchasing silk cocoons. The Tang Family Silk Weaving Factory will not be unable to operate because of one less worker."

Lao Zhou did not refute, and said calmly,

"Since Miss Tang Er said so, why don't you go and have a look at other breeding greenhouses?"

Tang Baozhu was so angry that she couldn't stand it anymore.

"You've rejected all the business that came to your door. Do you really think I'll beg you?"

Lao Zhou had always been on good terms with Tang Baozhu, and of course he didn't want to fall out over this matter, so he tried to keep his tone low.

"Miss Tang Er has misunderstood. The reason I asked you to go to other breeding sheds is to let you know that the whole Sang Township is like this. I can't help it and I can't break the purchasing rules that have been popular before."

"I am a breeding greenhouse under the name of the Tang family, so everything is centered on the Tang family. However, my breeding greenhouse alone cannot supply the required cocoons. I also need to go to the underground individual households to collect cocoons. It's like a food chain. If this link is destroyed because of me, the entire Sangxiang breeder will be in trouble. Please ask around and we can discuss it later."

Tang Baozhu inexplicably left the breeding shed.

"What does he mean?"

Song Xiaohua shook her head. The silk cocoons in her family had never passed through her hands, and she didn't know any rules.

Qiu Hu thought about it.

"It should be that Wang Hongyan gave a lot of benefits when purchasing, so they only recognized Wang Hongyan. Or maybe they had their own way of purchasing, so everyone only wanted to cooperate with Wang Hongyan's people."

Tang Baozhu understood instantly.

Wang Hongyan is quite a good person. She would not keep the benefits for herself. Everyone would share the profits from the purchases together. No wonder everyone only wanted Wang Hongyan.

Just as Tang Baozhu expected, the silkworm farmers, as if they had discussed it beforehand, all refused to cooperate, or offered a 30% higher purchase price.

The level of purchasing cost directly affects the economic benefits, so Tang Baozhu would certainly not agree.

She finally understood why Li Li agreed so readily. She was sure that she could not get the order and wanted her to give up.

Tang Baozhu and the other two returned to Lao Zhou's breeding shed. Lao Zhou seemed to have expected this.

"Second Miss Tang, you know what I mean, right?"

"How can we purchase a thousand kilograms of silk cocoons?"

Lao Zhou said calmly,

"Either we'll buy it at 30% of your custom purchase price, or we'll have Li Li come in person. Everyone will only buy from her."

Tang Baozhu put her hands behind her back and walked around the breeding trough.

"So, you would rather give up this opportunity to make money and let Li Li come to negotiate? Aren't you afraid that I will turn around and go to other towns?"

"As you know, Sang Township is a major silkworm-raising township. To go to other townships, you need to go through the docks. The round-trip transportation costs are several times higher, which is not cost-effective. In addition, the purchase price may not be suitable for townships that you are not familiar with."

Tang Baozhu nodded.

"It seems like I'm the one that's sure to win."

Old Zhou spread his hands.

“There’s nothing we can do about it.”

Tang Baozhu nodded.

"It's very simple, actually. I'm willing to pay 30% higher than the purchase price, but the quantity I want this time is not much, only 1,000 kilograms. The next time may be a few months later, and then your cocoons will be piled up. So this is a rare opportunity. You have so many silkworm farmers, and a greenhouse like yours produces about 300 kilograms every month. Selling 1,000 kilograms at one time can make a lot of money."

Old Zhou's eyes lit up. He had never expected that Tang Baozhu would be willing to pay 30% more for the product. This was a sure win.

"Are you really willing?"

Tang Baozhu smiled mysteriously.

"Of course, but I will adopt a bidding-based procurement method. Through bidding, we will specify the weight, the standard price in the bid, the quality and the size of the cocoons. The best one will win."

Old Zhou paused, and instantly understood what Tang Baozhu meant.

Selling a thousand kilograms of silk cocoons at one time is something that many silkworm farmers would love to have. After all, before, everyone shared the profits, and everyone made money together by pooling dozens of kilograms.

This time, everyone will be eager to try and compete secretly, so the price on the trick book will only get lower and lower, forming a competitive model.

Tang Baozhu will definitely choose to cooperate with a company that offers reasonable prices and high quality. This method is really smart.

"Ms. Tang Er is really... smart."
