Chapter 3411: Chapter 3403: Negotiations Broke Down
"I know this, I’ll set up a table later, give me a chance to treat everyone to a meal, let me properly thank everyone."
"What’s the deal with treating to a meal? If you really want to thank us, do something practical."
Zhang Jiachun paused, revealing a meaningful smile.
"President Ma, I understand your point, rest assured, there won’t be any shortage in that aspect."
"What do you understand, what I meant is different from what you think," Ma Weicai said:
"Mr. Lin Yi is here to sell cars, the oranges have been sold, and you have money in hand, if you want to buy a car, just go support Mr. Lin Yi."
"That’s not a problem, I’ll mobilize everyone, we’ll definitely try our best to help."
"Director Zhang, hold on a second."
At this moment, Zhang Jia interrupted him.
Lin Yi still had an impression of her, she was a committee officer.
"What’s wrong?"
"I want to ask President Ma, he just said these oranges still have a little profit margin, what’s that supposed to mean."
"We are distributors, collect products nationwide, then distribute to various factories."
"So, you’re not the final terminal, you want to earn a price difference, right."
"Right, that’s exactly what it means."
This kind of business is very common, even normal, so Ma Xiang didn’t hide it, nor was there a need to hide.
"Then I want to ask, how much do you sell them for when passing them on?"
"Hm?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi and Ning Che looked towards her.
Or rather, anyone doing business looked toward her.
This question was too immature, anyone with some social experience wouldn’t ask such a question.
Lin Yi looked at Sun Jia, his expression unkind, "Why are you asking this? This already involves trade secrets."
"I think this price is not quite right," Sun Jia said:
"I originally thought they were the manufacturers, so I lowered the price to three yuan and two cents, didn’t expect they would still earn a price difference, so I want to know what their final price is."
"Even if you know, what could you do."
"We want to sell at the final price, if villagers’ incomes increase, it can stimulate county consumption, and some economic indicators."
"Are you dreaming?" Lin Yi said:
"You want a good price to boost economic indicators and then get promoted, but what about others? Not caring whether the businessmen live or die? Do they owe you or are they indebted to you?"
After a rebuttal from Lin Yi, Zhang Jia’s face turned red, not knowing how to counter.
"Fruit like this has losses, not sold by how many kilograms you collect, have you considered these factors?"
"Of course I know, but as long as these days we can sell them, the losses won’t be much."
"Jiajia is right, you help us out, and we are reasonable, let him make the price transparent, but we can’t let him work for nothing, he’ll just make a bit less, it’s not a big deal."
A dark-faced villager said:
"You all are big bosses, richer than us, earning less won’t lose you a piece of meat."
"Then no more three yuan two, three yuan six would be more suitable."
"Right, right, just make it three yuan six."
"I remember President Ma collecting oranges at a price of three yuan six."
"Don’t just raise prices on the spot, my situation is different from others, there are agreements with the county that can’t be compared like this," Ma Weicai said.
"Then we also sell for three yuan six."
"Well..."
Seeing everyone speak one after another, Ma Xiang was in a dilemma.
"Master Lin, to be honest, three yuan five is my limit, after all, there’s a big risk, if collected at three yuan six, I really can’t afford it."
Ma Xiang said:
"How about I buy a car from you, that counts as support."
"No need," Lin Yi rejected:
"We are here for business, not charity, since they don’t want to sell, let’s not get into it."
"Yeah, let’s not discuss this matter anymore."
The dark-faced villager stood out saying:
"Brothers, don’t look for these middlemen, can we directly get the manufacturers to sell to them."
"Am I the one owing you all then."
Lin Yi looked at Zhang Jiachun, "Director Zhang, the price is not suitable, let’s leave it at that for today, we’re leaving first."
"Mr. Lin Yi, please don’t rush off, let’s talk a bit more."
"First get your people sorted out, then we can talk."
Leaving these words, Lin Yi turned and left with his people, without any reluctance.
Seeing Lin Yi leave, the committee members all stared with big eyes and small eyes, not knowing what to do for a moment.
"Director Zhang, why did they leave, are they still going to collect the goods?" the dark-faced villager asked.
"After what you all pulled, how could they collect anymore," Zhang Jiachun said unceremoniously:
"Do you know how hard it is to find a market now, it’s found, yet you show off, now it’s good, they won’t collect, it just rots on the ground."
"We followed Little Sun’s ideas, can’t let them earn the price difference."
"Director Zhang, don’t get angry, everyone don’t panic," Sun Jia tried to soothe people’s emotions:
"I’ve already thought of a market for everyone’s oranges, a friend of mine who’s starting a business can collect them."
Hearing this, a look of joy surfaced on everyone’s face.
"Your friend wouldn’t earn a price difference too, would they?"
"Rest assured, they won’t," Sun Jia said:
"They are in the dried fruit processing business, belonging to the source, the price given would definitely be higher than theirs."
"Really? You won’t lie to us, would you?"
"How could I, I’ll call right now, and let you hear what’s going on."
Sun Jia took out her phone and dialed her friend’s number.
"Old Zhang, how’s the matter I told you about yesterday moving along? Let’s talk about the price and come collect the fruits."
"There’s a small problem with it, we might not need so much."
Sun Jia’s expression changed instantly.
"How much can you take?"
"We can only take ten thousand tons."
"Ah? So little?"
"I don’t want to, but there is indeed a small problem."
"Ten thousand tons is ten thousand tons then," Sun Jia said:
"What price can you offer?"
"I fought for you, can give two yuan seven, this price is already quite high."
"Two yuan seven!"
Upon hearing this price, everyone present became visibly unstable.
"That’s so little, can give three yuan six?"
"Three yuan six? Old friend, you’re also someone in the industry, you should know this year’s orange prices, giving two yuan seven is already very high."
"Just now someone came and offered three yuan two for full collection."
"That’s impossible, if three yuan two, there’s no profit margin," the other party said:
"If there really is, then it’s charity work, otherwise, couldn’t give such a high price."
