Chapter 256 Selling vegetables to provincial party leaders
Zhang Lang brought Mao Wa and the other three to the Provincial Bureau of Government Affairs.
The Bureau of Government Affairs is an institution that specializes in serving the provincial party committee and government.
Zhang Lang is still wearing a somewhat white old military uniform. Military uniforms and Zhongshan suits are popular colors of this era.
Maowa's pair of military green pants and a white short-sleeved shirt are also popular colors of this era.
Zhaodi and Qiuhong were wearing white floral dresses and black short-heeled leather shoes. If they didn't look at them, they would look like people from the city.
These clothes were bought by Zhang Lang for them in order to cultivate their self-confidence.
When I arrived at the Provincial Government Affairs Bureau, there was no security guard yet. No matter which unit, the old man was watching the door.
Zhang Lang stepped forward and handed a cigarette to the old man who was watching the door, "Uncle, I want to find the director!"
"Look for the director? Do you have a letter of introduction?" The old man in the door looked at Zhang Lang with reading glasses.
"Yes!" Zhang Lang hurriedly took out the letter of introduction and handed it to the old man in the door.
80 years is an era when there is no incoming letter.
"Zhang Lang, director of Xilong Mountain Village?!" The old man guarding the door said with an introduction to his faith.
"Wait!" After saying that, he ran into the communication room and took a picture and came out after a while.
Zhang Lang was a little puzzled, not knowing what the old man meant.
"Are you the village director who planted greenhouses?" The old man asked after comparing the newspaper for a long time.
"Yes!" Zhang Lang nodded with a smile.
The old man in the love guard compares the photos in the newspaper with himself.
"Young man is so good! He became the village director at such a young age!" The old man at the door gave Zhang Lang a thumbs up, his attitude improved a lot, and asked kindly: "What's wrong with you looking for the director?"
After the newspaper promotion, Zhang Lang is considered a celebrity at the age of a celebrity, so celebrities will naturally receive some preferential treatment.
"The vegetables in our village have been harvested again. I think that the people in the provincial capital have difficulty eating vegetables. I don't want to talk to the director about the supply of vegetables to the provincial party committee leaders."
"Okay... OK! You guy, you're kind!" The old man at the door became even more amiable.
"You go in! The director's office is on the far right-most office on the fourth floor!"
"Thank you!" Zhang Lang took the cat baby in.
"Young man! The director's surname is Shi!" The old man guarding the door reminded from behind.
"I understand! Thank you for being old!" Zhang Lang thanked again.
…………
"Bangbang!" Zhang Lang knocked on the door.
A young man opened the door and Zhang Lang asked politely: "Hello! Is Director Shi here?"
The young man glanced at Zhang Lang and the other two, "Who are you from that unit? What's the matter with Director Shi?"
Zhang Lang guessed that the young man might be the director's secretary, so he hurriedly took out the letter of introduction again and handed it to the young man.
"I am the village director of Xilong Villa! I came to see Director Shi to talk about supplying vegetables to the provincial party committee leaders!"
"Oh! Are you the village director who grows greenhouse vegetables? Wait a moment, I'll report to you!" the young man said with a smile.
"Thanks!"
Zhang Lang thought secretly: "I didn't expect that there would be such benefits when I went to the newspaper!"
After a while, the young man came out, "The director asked you to come in!"
"Thank you!" Zhang Lang thanked and followed the young man into the director's office.
"The leader is Director Zhang of Xilong Villa!" The young man introduced to the director.
"Comrade Xiao Zhang! I have read your report! The young man is so good! Do it quickly! Xiao Wang, pour tea for Xiao Zhang!" Director Shi greeted enthusiastically.
"Thank you, leader!"
"I heard you are going to supply greenhouse vegetables to the leaders of the provincial party committee?"
"Yes! This year we have a bumper harvest of vegetables in greenhouses. I want the provincial party committee leaders to try the vegetables we grow too!"
"Ha...ha! OK! OK! Comrade Xiao Zhang is worthy of being a cadre trained in the army! Awareness is high!" Director Shi praised with a smile.
"The leaders of the provincial party committee have worked hard for the people of the province, but every winter, the leaders have to eat cabbage and potatoes like us. When I think of this, I feel that my job is not done well! This is a dereliction of duty! Now it's good! With your greenhouse vegetables in Xiao Zhang, I no longer have to worry about this matter!" Director Shi was in a good mood and patted Zhang Lang's shoulder and sighed.
Vegetable supply in winter has always been a difficult problem in the Northeast.
In fact, it is not only the Northeast, but also the same in the capital. In winter, we rely on cabbage, radish, and potatoes to live.
After that, Director Shi asked straight to the point: "How many vegetables can you supply? What price?"
"Our greenhouse vegetables can produce 200,000 kilograms of various vegetables a day, and supply 50,000 kilograms of units in the county. 150,000 kilograms can be sold to the provincial capital, and 80 cents per kilogram of vegetables!"
"80 cents per pound? Comrade Xiao Zhang, is this price too high? I know that the price you sell to the supply and marketing cooperative is 50 cents! And it's summer now, and the vegetables on the street are only one or two cents per pound!" Director Shi took a breath and was shocked by Zhang Lang's price.
Zhang Lang had guessed this situation a long time ago and explained with a smile: "Leader, the account is not calculated like this! The cost of our greenhouse vegetables is already high, but they have to be shipped to the provincial capital! This shipping fee must be added! In addition, the vegetables on the street can only be supplied in summer, but we can supply them all year round!"
"Comrade Xiao Zhang, your price is too high. If you only supply the leaders, it will be no big problem. But in this way, other comrades from the provincial party committee and government will have opinions! Do you think this price can be cheaper?"
It is worthy of being a later department, and he is really good at calculating. You must know that the Railway Bureau and the Academy of Agricultural Sciences have not even talked about the price. Zhang Lang said it is as much as it is!
"Leader! It's really not cheaper. The cost of vegetables in our greenhouse is there! The provincial party committee leader cannot let us farmers pay for it, right? Otherwise, you can send a car to pull it, I'll give you a 50 cents per pound!"
"Comrade Xiao Zhang, why would the provincial party committee leader ask you to pay for money? But this price is the same as meat! I really can't afford it!"
Zhang Lang thought to himself: "Where is that? The price of vegetables in Northeast China in later generations is much more expensive than meat!"
"There is nothing to do about this. The prices of off-season vegetables must be high!" Zhang Lang bit him to death and stopped lowering the price.
He knew very well that Director Shi bargained because the price was really high, and the other was due to habit.
The Bureau of Government Affairs is responsible for logistics procurement and often deals with various manufacturers, so it is normal to bargain.
However, Zhang Lang could not reduce the price. The government agencies had no secrets. Today, the government agencies gave the price to the Bureau of Government Affairs and started the first time. It was difficult to negotiate when they went to other units to negotiate.
In the northeast Zhanglang greenhouse vegetables are the only ones, typical seller's market.
