Starting from selling lunch boxes at the construction site

Chapter 338: The 3000 yuan is all yours!
After the factory matters were finalized, Xu Dongliang told Xu An that he had been kicked out by his second grandfather and that he could not interfere in any affairs in the village until the construction and repair work of the sea hot springs and the factory were completed.
Xu An was naturally unhappy when he heard this. The reason for his dissatisfaction was not that he felt that the second grandfather was too involved, but that the second grandfather was already an old man in his sixties. How could he alone be busy with such a big mess on the tidal flat? Gotta come over.

But the voice of rejection had just begun, and the rest of the words were forcefully blocked by the second grandfather with two reasons.

The first reason is that the tidal flats have been completed and put into use. Fish fry, shrimp seedlings and even shellfish seedlings have been placed in the reclaimed tidal flats for breeding. The remaining work is just patrolling, feeding and other chores. Uncle Dongliang’s help is not needed;

The second reason is that although Xujiacun does not have a say in the sea hot springs, it still has 20.00% of the dividends of the sea hot springs. If the supervision team is not in place and the engineering team messes around, the village's dividends will also be affected. Uncle Dongliang must keep an eye on it. Only then can you rest assured.

The two suggestions given by Grandpa Er are so high-sounding, and Xu An really needs a supervisor who not only understands project-related matters but is also very reliable, Uncle Dongliang is indeed the best choice.

Therefore, under the strong insistence of the second grandfather, Xu Dongliang officially became the supervisor of the two projects of sea hot spring and factory.

The design plan has been determined, the factory has signed a lease contract, and the person in charge of the project has been found. The three major problems have been solved at the same time. The next thing to deal with is the greenhouse planting area near the tidal flat in the southeast corner of Qianhai Town. .

It’s time to take advantage of this opportunity to acquire these greenhouses and let them become part of Xu’s Catering!
Ever since Xu An expressed this idea, Aunt Hong has been helping Xu An pay attention to the trends in the greenhouse planting area.

On the day Shengli Supermarket officially broke the contract, some growers had the idea of ​​transferring their greenhouses. This sentiment originally only circulated among some people, but as the cauliflower in the greenhouses slowly entered the harvest period, vegetable sellers began to purchase The price dropped from one yuan and eighty cents per catty to one yuan and fifty cents, then one yuan and two cents, then one yuan and eighty cents.
As of now, the purchase price of cauliflower has dropped to [-] cents per pound.
While the purchase price continued to fall, the growers were increasingly willing to transfer their greenhouses. Some wavering people were infected by the atmosphere and put up "Transfer" signs on the greenhouses. Some determined people saw this. I also started to waver.
"Now, there are more and more people who want to change hands, but not many people are willing to take over. Uncle Liu was the first to say that he wanted to transfer. Seven or eight bosses came in successively. They either didn't like it or wanted to borrow it. Machine price reduction
The most outrageous one said he cut off 3 yuan, saying he only had 8000 yuan, so if you can buy it, buy it, don’t forget it.”

After the two came to the greenhouse planting area, Aunt Hong randomly asked an acquaintance about the current situation, and then got the above information.

"You look familiar, as if I've seen him somewhere." After introducing the situation in a eloquent manner, the man's eyes fell directly on Xu An, and after scanning him back and forth two or three times, , gave a high-five with sudden realization, and asked excitedly:

"Are you Boss Xu from Xu's Catering? I saw you on Haishi local station a few days ago! Boss Xu, you are younger than you look on TV."

This person was just flattering him as he spoke. Not to mention Xu An, even Aunt Hong, who was watching the excitement, felt goosebumps all over her body. She quickly waved her hand and interrupted: "Okay, okay. Come on, Xiao Gao, please stop talking. I never noticed on weekdays that you flatter me one after another."

"Hey!" Xiao Gao scratched his head in embarrassment and muttered: "I'm not flattering you, I'm telling the truth."

After getting excited, Xiao Gao finally realized what he wanted to do when Boss Xu came to the greenhouse planting area.
Could it be that he came here to inspect the greenhouse of Sister Hong and the others?

No, it doesn’t feel like inspecting the greenhouse. What would it be?
The content of the exclusive interview I saw on TV a few days ago flashed through my mind, and finally settled on the scene of Xu An telling the camera about the future development blueprint of Xu's Catering.
Thinking of the cooperation between Boss Xu and Sister Hong, a guess suddenly appeared in Xiao Gao's mind. Could it be that Boss Xu is here to find a new partner?This is very possible!After all, with so many branches to open, Aunt Hong and the others will definitely not be able to meet the needs of so many branches.
"Xiao Gao. Xiao Gao Xiao Gao"

"Ah? Ah! Sister Hong, are you calling me?"

"Yeah, why did you lose your focus while you were talking? Didn't you get a good rest last night?"

"No, no, I just thought of something, haha!" Xiao Gao said vaguely and then asked: "Sister Hong, what did you want to say to me just now?"

"Oh" Xiao Gao asked, and Aunt Hong returned to the topic. She gestured towards the greenhouse with the [Transfer] sign behind Xiao Gao and said, "Xiao Gao, are you preparing to transfer this greenhouse?"

"Big shed." Hearing this, Xiao Gao glanced sideways at the sign, nodded lightly and then quickly shook his head. His eyes swept over Xu An vaguely, and said: "The original plan was to transfer it, but if there is a good opportunity, It’s not impossible to continue doing it.”

I don’t know whether Aunt Hong didn’t understand what Xiao Gao said, or she pretended not to understand what Xiao Gao said. She asked herself: “I remember Xiao Gao, you and your uncle have a total of six greenhouses. You two, you Uncle four, do you plan to transfer six greenhouses together, or just two?"

"Ah, yes, my uncle and I have a total of six, that's right."

Having said that, no matter how dull you are, you can realize that Boss Xu is not here to find a partner, but to acquire a greenhouse!
Although he had already guessed Xu An's intention, Xiao Gao still looked at Xu An and confirmed: "Boss Xu, are you coming here to buy a greenhouse?"

"Yes." Xu An nodded as his words were like gold.

"It looks like this." A trace of disappointment flashed in Xiao Gao's eyes, and then he quickly cheered up and took Xu An and the two of them to the greenhouse. As he walked, he introduced: "The greenhouses here are all real materials. It is built with real materials. Look at the steel frame and the thickness of the materials. They are all real materials."

Although Xiao Gao introduced it carefully, after stepping into the greenhouse, Xu An's attention fell on the rows of cauliflower inside the greenhouse.

The cauliflower grown here in Qianhai Town is green-stemmed cauliflower, also called organic cauliflower.

The price of this kind of cauliflower is 1-2 yuan per catty higher than that of common white cauliflower. Its maturity cycle is short. If it is not picked and stored in time after maturity, its flower bulbs will spread out, and the flower branches will grow rapidly and enter the flowering and seeding stage. .

The cauliflowers in front of us are already in the stage of spreading out. If we collect them now, the taste will be slightly worse, but they can still be eaten. But after the flower branches grow, they can no longer be eaten.
"It will be too late if we don't harvest the cauliflower, right?" Seeing this, Xu An couldn't help but remind him.

"Oh, let it go. At the current purchase price, it would be worse than rotting in the ground."

"Has it dropped again? I heard this morning that it was sixty-five cents a pound. How much is it now?" Aunt Hong asked smoothly.

"Sixty-five cents was yesterday's old almanac, and today the vegetable seller's purchase price is [-] cents per catty. So far in the morning, three groups of vegetable vendors have come, and they all killed [-] cents per catty."

"Forty cents per catty, those vegetable sellers are crazy! They still sell for three yuan per catty in the market! The price has not been reduced at all!" Aunt Hong said in shock.

"I just saw that the cauliflowers here are growing up and will bloom if we don't harvest them, so I tried my best to keep the price down." Xiao Gao couldn't help but sigh as he spoke, and stopped continuing the topic.

The area of ​​a greenhouse is only 220 square meters. Even if the three of them walked around, it only took about ten minutes to look at the greenhouse carefully.

"Boss Xu, I wonder how many greenhouses you plan to acquire?"

"How many?" Xu An deliberately paused for a few seconds and then said: "All of them, I plan to take over all the transferred greenhouses in the entire greenhouse planting area!"

"Ah, that's quite a lot. Ah! Do you accept all the greenhouses?" Xiao Gao, who was overly surprised, immediately made a dolphin sound, drew a big circle in the air with his hands, and asked stammering: "Then that But... those are more than 50 greenhouses! You really want them all."

"Yes." Xu An smiled and nodded, emphasizing: "All of them!"

"Hahahahahaha!"

After receiving Xu An's exact answer, Xiao Gao rubbed his hands and spun around like a headless fly. Then he sprinted out of the greenhouse with a lightning speed of [-] meters. Three seconds later, his upper body returned to his original position. In the greenhouse, he said incoherently to Xu An: "Boss Xu, wait a minute, wait a minute, I, I will shout, shout, shout, I will go."

'I' couldn't say a single word for a long time. Xiao Gao gritted his teeth and disappeared again in front of Xu An and the two of them. The heavy running sound of 'dong dong dong' accompanied by high-pitched shouts resounded throughout the greenhouse planting area. above. "Boss Xu is here! Boss Xu is here! Everyone, come to my shed quickly. Boss Xu wants to buy our greenhouse! Take as much as you can! Everyone, come quickly!"

The whole world was quiet for three seconds, and even the chirping of insects and birds disappeared without a trace.

At the fourth second, Xu An felt the feeling of thousands of troops rushing towards the greenhouse where he was, rapid, heavy, loud and frightening.
When Xu An was walking on the path in the greenhouse planting area again, there was a group of people behind him. Every 200 meters he walked forward, a person came out of the group and led Xu An into the greenhouse next to the road. .
one, two, three, five, ten
But every time he entered a greenhouse, the first thing Xu An noticed was not the materials used to build the greenhouse, how wide the spacing is, or how old it is. The first thing he noticed was the green-stemmed cauliflower blooming inside the greenhouse.
One-sixth of the cauliflower has been picked, and one-sixth of the cauliflower has tall branches and small pale yellow flowers are blooming brilliantly.
Many times, the meaning expressed by words is less than one percent of what can be seen with the eyes.

When Xu An heard that there were nearly a hundred tons of unsaleable cauliflower, he would feel a sense of regret in his heart, but he had no other emotions. But when he saw these unsaleable cauliflower with his own eyes, his heart began to twitch inexplicably. It hurts
An old man in the crowd noticed that Xu An's eyes always fell on cauliflower from time to time, and immediately asked: "Boss Xu, are you interested in these cauliflower?"

Xu An just nodded, but before he could say anything, the old man pointed at the cauliflower excitedly, looked at Xu An eagerly, and cautiously tried: "Boss Xu, 4 yuan, only 4 yuan, this place, How about all this greenhouse, these cauliflowers, and all this belong to you?"

aha?
"How about thirty-nine thousand, five hundred yuan? It's only three thousand, five hundred yuan." Seeing that Xu An still had no reaction, the old man closed his teeth fiercely and forced out a sentence from between his teeth: "500 yuan." How about it."

"Don't look at the cauliflowers that have already bloomed. This morning, the owner of a pig farm came over and offered to take back two cents per pound to feed the pigs. Those vegetable leaves and stems can be sold at a high price, Mr. Xu." Look at these, they are all good, are they worth 3000 yuan?”

At the end of the sentence, there was even a hint of pleading in the old man's voice.

The owner of Jinlong Fast Food Restaurant felt that he had been having bad luck recently. If he counted it carefully, it seemed that his bad luck started after he was beaten for no reason that night.

First, a customer ate in his shop until his teeth chipped, and second, his shop was targeted by those gangsters for some unknown reason.

Those gangsters didn't do anything like collect protection fees, vandalize, smash or rob, but they would come to your store for dinner every now and then!Either we eat from [-] a.m. to [-] p.m., or we eat from [-] p.m. to [-] or [-] p.m.
Every time we have a dinner party, we can't avoid drinking, shaking dice and shouting. After the old customers in the store encountered this situation several times, they stopped coming to the store to spend money. The sales in September dropped by a full three months. Divide into two!
It would be fine if these gangsters were causing trouble, but they were just eating!The sound was indeed a bit louder and the movements were indeed a bit violent, but they were really eating in their own restaurant!
Grass!
However, what is lost is what is gained. Although the operating conditions of Jinlong fast food restaurant are getting worse and worse, the business of Jinlong braised food is very good.

Since the opening of Jinlong Braised Food, all business policies have been in line with Xu's Braised Food. Whether it is dishes, prices, packaging, or even setting up a stall in front of the school, he has learned everything.

In addition, the braised vegetable chef is also from Hongshan Town. Although the taste is a little bit worse than Xu's braised food, not everyone has eaten Xu's braised food. Some people first tried Jinlong braised food. These People have become loyal customers of Jinlong braised food.

All this is developing so smoothly that the owner of Jinlong Fast Food Restaurant even wants to follow in the footsteps of Xu's braised food and open two branches outside the city.
But now, a resignation notice is placed in front of the owner of Jinlong Fast Food Restaurant.
"Xiaoyong, ah, no, Brother Yong, I've treated you well, right? Last month's commission + salary was 8000 yuan! I also assigned you two assistants. If you have any needs, just ask, I will 100% satisfy you. .How about we work together to make Golden Dragon Fast Food Restaurant bigger and stronger?"

After talking on the phone for a long time, Zhang Dezhen's brother-in-law Xiaoyong didn't respond at all. The owner of Jinlong Fast Food Restaurant gritted his teeth and said cruelly: "How about I give you a dividend? Two percent of the profit!"

"The hotel I was looking for is called Jinxiu Hotel. It is one of the most famous hotels in Hai City. They also promised to equip me with a professional kitchen team. The salary of a kitchen that belongs only to me can be 1 yuan. Monthly, bonus, commission, performance, etc. will be calculated separately, and I will be paid six insurances and one fund.
The contract states a three-month probationary period. Now I am still a probationary employee. Even if I follow due procedures, I only need to notify you three days in advance. Now, the notice has been in place, but I don’t want to wait three days before leaving. You don’t want me to mess around, right?”

"."

In the end, the owner of Jinlong Fast Food Restaurant could only watch helplessly as Xiaoyong got up and left the store, walked straight to the other side of the street to meet a man in a suit and leather shoes, and then the two left chatting and laughing.
Depend on!
The owner of Jinlong Fast Food Restaurant crumpled up the resignation certificate submitted by Xiaoyong and threw it into the trash can. Then he fell silent while looking at the braised food that was still sizzling in the kitchen.

This business is booming and there is no way to give it up no matter what.
In this case, let's find a new master to take over!As long as it’s delicious, customers won’t mind a slight change in taste!

Yes, just find a master and another master!

Due to some special circumstances, the Education Bureau temporarily summoned the principals of all primary and secondary schools in Zhuzhou City for a meeting. It is now the break at [-] noon, and everyone gathers in twos and threes to chat about their parents' short stories.

"Have you settled the lunch supplier issue at your school? How was it resolved?"

"It's done, hey. I just need to stabilize him and promise to raise the price next semester."

"I have also agreed to increase the price next semester. After all, this semester has been open for more than a month and almost two months. If the price suddenly increases, it will be difficult for parents to explain."

"Yes, that's all we can do, stabilize them first, and then think of a solution during the winter vacation. If there is really no other way, then we can only let them go."

"If there is one, there are two. If they succeed this time, it's hard to say whether they will continue to raise prices."

"Hey, there is no way. Those big suppliers look down on our small market and are unwilling to come. If there are no tigers in the mountains, monkeys will dominate."

"."

The principal of Tengyue Middle School didn't want to join this chat, but after hearing what they said, he couldn't hold it back in the end.
Cough——cough cough————

"It's not impossible." After coughing twice to attract everyone's attention, the principal of Tengyue Middle School said: "I have cooperated with a lunch supplier who has just entered our Haishi, and the price has not changed. , the lunch dish combination is more reasonable”

"That big supplier has entered our sea market. Why haven't you heard about it?"

"It's not a big supplier. It's just a company over in Haishi. It was only established in June this year. Now it's not just our Haishi that is doing well, there are also companies like Dongqing City, Jiangyuan City, etc. branch"

"Has your school switched to meals from this supplier? Are you sure there is no problem? Is it reliable?"

"The companies that cooperate with this company are either large companies or large medical institutions, etc. Moreover, this company also cooperates with the Hainan Municipal Government to organize a [two-dollar lunch]. Also participating are Harvest Farm and Splendid Hotel. What do you think? Unreliable?"

"Oh, that sounds like it does have a lot of background! How about tomorrow, let's go to your school together and see how the lunches produced by this company are like?"

"Tomorrow, that won't work tomorrow!"

"Why can't it be done? There are a lot of missing pieces of meat at a glance. There are just a few of us and we won't cause any trouble for you."

"We won't officially start cooperating until next Monday. It's useless for you to come tomorrow!"

"It's next Monday. Let's go there next Monday. You can order lunch for us all, okay?"

"OK, no problem!"
