Chapter 987
Diners kept coming in at the store. After Fat Brother greeted Li Shaoan’s table, he was busy going to another table to greet the guests.
When Fat Brother left, Fang Lei looked at Li Shaoan curiously and asked, "Brother Shaoan, do you take what you said to the boss here just now seriously?"
"It must be taken seriously."
"It's the cold winter month now, where do you go to create fresh leafy vegetables?"
After hearing this, Liu Yulan laughed slightly, interrupted Fang Lei and explained, "You don't know anything about this. Shaoan set up a greenhouse vegetable planting base in their village, where even in the middle of winter, vegetables can be grown all year round."
This is the first time Fang Lei has heard about the greenhouse planting. He didn't know about the greenhouse before this. When Liu Yulan talked about the vegetables that can be grown in the greenhouse for four seasons, he even exclaimed.
Seeing that Fang Lei didn't understand the greenhouse very much, Li Shaoan briefly explained the principle to him.
"Is there such a magical thing really?" Fang Lei seemed very interested.
"Of course, I'm just about to invite you and Sister Liu to visit me in person." Li Shaoan responded generously.
Liu Yulan smiled and said, "Shao'an, I've figured out your way. Inviting me and your brother Lei to visit your planting base should be more than that simple, right?"
Li Shaoan clapped his hands and said, "I really got Sister Liu guessed it right. It's not just about visiting the planting base, but also about discussing cooperation with Sister Liu."
"Oh, what cooperation?" Liu Yulan asked with interest.
"You have seen it just now. The boss here is thirsty for the fresh vegetables in my planting base and wants to come and collect as much as you want," Li Shao settled down and continued: "There are more than one restaurant like this in the county, but every restaurant has a problem now, that is, there is no channel for fresh vegetables in winter, and the market size here is not a decimal."
Li Shaoan's words easily touched the hearts of Liu Yulan and Fang Lei. They looked at each other. It was not as Li Shaoan said. In winter, the dishes on the tables of ordinary people were tossed and turned. Even if it was a restaurant, there was no choice of vegetables except for meat dishes to choose from.
In the past, it would be fine if there was no food in that era, but it was because everyone was so poor that they wanted to have a full meal. Now everyone's living standards are gradually improving, so they naturally have higher demands for food.
"Shao'an, you're right. This is indeed a big market, but what do you want to do?" Liu Yulan smelled the business opportunities here.
"Actually, my greenhouse vegetables have been supplied to Yangqiao Town and several surrounding towns since last year. The response in the market is very good, and everyone is rushing to ask for them." Li Shaoan said: "The ultimate goal now is very simple, which is to sell fresh vegetables from my greenhouse planting base to the county town. The most critical problem here is how to solve the transportation problem and ensure that it can supply stable supplies to the county town customers."
It is not a problem to transport vegetables from Tieshanwan to Yangqiao Town in the greenhouse. If they are transported from Tieshanwan to the county town every day, it will cost huge transportation costs.
The price of greenhouse vegetables is already much higher than that of seasonal vegetables. Coupled with the high transportation costs, the price is suddenly increased. Those customers who want to buy greenhouse vegetables have to consider one more layer.
Liu Yulan asked readily: "So how do you want to work with your sister?"
Li Shaoan said: "Sister Liu, you originally run a wholesale department. You are more familiar with business than me. And you have been in the county for so many years, and the connections you know are far beyond my ability."
"Look at you praising me, okay, okay, if I really have the power to be as good as you said, I won't be still guarding that small wholesale department." When Li Shaoan praised herself, Liu Yulan was naturally happy and said with a smile: "You should hurry up and talk about how to cooperate. I also want to make more money and can change to a larger house in the county town as soon as possible."
When he said this, Liu Yulan glanced at Fang Lei. Both of them were doing business in the agricultural product market, and they actually couldn't make much money in a year.
Now that the two of them are together, Liu Yulan takes Miaomiao again, so they must have a good residence to make sense. This is why Liu Yulan has never obtained a marriage certificate with Fang Lei. She thought that the two of them would make more money next year, and then share their savings and buy a small house in the county town and get the marriage certificate.
"It's simple. In fact, we both sold my vegetables to the county town together. As for the cooperation method, I have already figured out three types before. Which one is the most suitable."
"Okay, then you can tell me."
"The first type is that you open a vegetable wholesale department in the county town. You can solve the things you have done by yourself. This wholesale department is owned by you. I am responsible for providing you with the freshest vegetables and being your exclusive supplier. As for sales, you will naturally be responsible for it."
“What about the second type?”
"The second type is that I open a vegetable wholesale department in the county town. All the costs are invested by me, and I will naturally take the income. I will ask you to manage this vegetable wholesale department for me. The salary and revenue commissions that should be paid will be calculated for you. The advantage of doing this is that you don't have to bear any risks, and the disadvantage is that you get less."
"What about the third type?"
Liu Yulan seemed reluctant to only take that little bit of dead wage. What she asked for was to get more income, and people went to high places and water flowed to low places. This was a very normal idea.
Li Shaoan smiled and said, "The third type is that we two will work together to open this vegetable wholesale department. As for how much we each sell and how many shares we each occupy, we will discuss this in detail after the decision. What do you think, Sister Liu?"
Fang Lei was still hesitating, but Liu Yulan had already made the decision and said cheerfully: "Since we are working together, we have to make money and bear risks together. If I want to choose, that is the third type."
Li Shaoan said happily: "Actually, I personally think this third method is the most suitable; the first way you do your business and I supply my goods, and we are still the relationship between merchants and suppliers; the second way you seem to have become my employee; only this third way can be considered a true cooperation."
Liu Yulan smiled and said, "It's reasonable that the matter of the vegetable wholesale department is better for us siblings to invest together."
Seeing that Liu Yulan agreed to her idea so happily, Li Shaoan was even more happy.
He had been worried about how to sell vegetables to the county. Later, he thought of Liu Yulan, who also operated a wholesale business for agricultural supplies in the county, and was overjoyed and scolded himself for not expecting her.
