Chapter 82 Business Secrets
"Well, there is a relationship. I have always had business dealings with them. I wonder if there is something wrong with Boss Su?"
"I want to buy some lemons, but now I have no way to buy them."
"You mean that lemon? It's a kind of fruit, right?"
Qian Musheng also thought it was quite magical. Why did Su Xiaoxiao insist on buying lemons? But these were Su Xiaoxiao's trade secrets for making jam, and of course it was not convenient for him to ask.
"Okay, I'll take you to meet someone now."
Su Xiaoxiao didn't expect that Qian Musheng was really fast-moving and unambiguous at all.
They went to meet as soon as they said they would meet, but Su Xiaoxiao seemed a little nervous.
Qian Musheng whispered a few words into the ear of a subordinate, and the subordinate nodded and went out.
Su Xiaoxiao and Qian Musheng arrived at the gate of the south of the city in a sedan chair. They saw a man standing there. He looked very tall. At first glance, he was a foreigner with blue eyes and white skin.
After he saw Qian Musheng's sedan chair, he looked respectful and came over to bow deeply.
"Hello, Mr. Qian, I'm Bruce."
Su Xiaoxiao originally wanted to say whether Qian Musheng knew the Fanbang people, but she was afraid that it would be difficult to talk to him when they met. She had also seen the blue-eyed Fanbang people before and seemed a bit shy.
Unexpectedly now, people are really enthusiastic and respectful towards them.
This was really quite satisfying. Since he had an acquaintance and it was easy to talk to him, Su Xiaoxiao asked him: "Bruce, do you have any lemons in stock?"
At this time, Bruce seemed a little cautious. After all, Qian Musheng got rid of him in this matter, and he seemed to value Qian Musheng.
"How many do you want?"
Bruce asked cautiously.
Unexpectedly, Su Xiaoxiao replied with confidence: "I will take as much as you have."
Bruce seemed incredible. There was not much market for lemons as a fruit. Ordinary people thought it was too expensive.
And it’s so sour. If you have the money, would you like to buy some oranges? If you have the money, would you like to buy some sweet apples?
So Bruce was quite puzzled as to why this man could ask for so many lemons at once.
"I have more than two hundred kilograms of lemons here..."
"Okay, I'll take it all."
Su Xiaoxiao thought that so many lemons could not be used at once, but she knew that this opportunity was rare. If she wanted to buy one in the future, she would have to wait until Bruce returned to China.
At this time, she could only wrap the lemon in a round shape.
It just so happened that there was a cellar in front of Su Xiaoxiao's house that the original owner had dug before, which could be used to store lemons.
"But can you give me a discount on this price?"
Su Xiaoxiao asked.
When Bruce heard this, he looked at Qian Musheng next to him.
"Okay, it's very simple."
After all, it was Qian Musheng who introduced him, "Don't worry, Boss Su, I will handle this matter."
"How about five cents per catty?" In fact, this price is not too cheap in their local area. After all, buying a catty of oranges costs so much. In fact, he didn't have much discount for Su Xiaoxiao, and it was still at the usual price.
But Su Xiaoxiao actually didn't want to bargain, she just bought too much at once, as the saying goes, there is no business without profit.
Since she started her own jam business, Su Xiaoxiao is now saving as much as she can. In fact, Bruce doesn't make much money, but the main reason is that the traveling expenses of bringing the lemons from overseas are a lot, and Su Xiaoxiao is not embarrassed to bargain with Bruce.
Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao was a little hesitant, Qian Musheng asked from the side: "How about this, three cents a pound?"
Bruce hesitated for a moment, but finally reluctantly agreed.
"make a deal."
Anyway, he is not at a huge disadvantage. If so many lemons are not sold, they will really rot.
Wouldn't it be sad to not be able to earn even three cents by then?
Su Xiaoxiao was very happy when she heard this and put all the lemons on her mule cart.
But it was still not enough. Finally, Qian Musheng hired another ox cart for Su Xiaoxiao and asked her to pull it with him. After loading all the lemons in baskets, he pulled it out of the town and went straight to Su Xiaoxiao's house.
Why Su Xiaoxiao used lemons was a trade secret, and she didn't even tell Qian Musheng.
Su Xiaoxiao also gained a big gain from this meeting.
Bruce introduced tomato seedlings to Su Xiaoxiao, the so-called foreign persimmons.
However, the output of this product is not very large, and it is no longer available in winter.
When Su Xiaoxiao thought about it, she could actually plant the tomato seedlings in a greenhouse, so wouldn't she be able to eat tomatoes in winter?
Besides, eating tomatoes can supplement vitamin C and make the skin very white.
Su Xiaoxiao was also very happy at this time, and said to Bruce: "I can make your tomato seedlings produce tomatoes in winter."
After hearing this, Bruce was very shocked and asked: "Is this really true?"
"Yeah, but you have to give me some tomato seeds."
Upon hearing this, Bruce nodded quickly and said, "Okay."
In fact, he was quite happy this time. He heard that someone was willing to plant tomato seedlings, which meant that the tomatoes they planted were marketable. People here didn’t eat tomatoes before because they thought it would be poisonous if eaten.
With a wait-and-see mentality, I am not very willing to believe Bruce.
In fact, many people know about this. For example, when there were not so many people buying tomatoes before, some people still didn’t believe it. This is why you meet some people here who are not prepared to come and buy lemons. , in fact, as long as everyone knows about this, more and more people will come to buy lemons and tomatoes.
After returning to Baihua Village, Su Xiaoxiao harvested slowly this time. She not only got tomato seeds for free, but also harvested so many lemons.
The only thing left to do is to squeeze the lemons. First, store these lemons in the cellar.
Then she and Saburo squeezed lemon juice at home. It would take a while to make the lemon juice.
Now that the kitchen house is dilapidated, Su Xiaoxiao now wants a bigger house to use as a jam workshop.
After making this decision, Su Xiaoxiao began to strive for the goal again. In fact, this is not a very simple thing, but Su Xiaoxiao doesn't think it is really a simple thing to live in this ancient world separated by more than a thousand years.
Su Xiaoxiao saw that her jam business was doing so well, and she began to feel that she was going to do something big this time. If she could gain a foothold in this ancient society more than a thousand years ago, she would use the modern knowledge she knew before to become this place. The richest man is not bad either.
