Farming Space Makes Me Rich (3)

Chapter 497: Ways of Cooperation

Xiao Lingyu asked the general manager of Junhao Hotel, Wan Congsong, to go back first.

Zeng Qinghua, who stayed behind, was nervous.

This time, he came to Taoyuan Village on a whim. If he could really cooperate with the farm, his shop would have a chance to come back to life.

Xiao Lingyu flipped through the information in her hand and looked at the boss of the Zeng family's vegetable shop. She smiled and asked, "Boss Zeng, I heard that your family has been trading vegetables for several years, right?"

Boss Zeng nodded and said, "Yes." After saying this, he thought for a moment and said, "In the past two years, a few large vegetable shops have appeared. They are the Qiao Family's vegetable shops. Their boss came today.

"Their shops are several times bigger than mine. Their vegetables look fresher, and their prices are lower. Therefore, he has been getting all the business. If I don't get the opportunity this, I'm afraid I'll have to change careers and close the shop."

Xiao Lingyu nodded, indicating that she understood, "With agricultural technology, the commercial farms offer big and beautiful crops. Boss Zeng, why don't you get your stock from them?"

Boss Zeng said, "My family's shop has always purchased from country farmers. However, after the competition came, I did try to get some stock from the commercial farms.

"However, most of my regulars preferred natural vegetables. They believe that vegetables from large-scale farms are pumped with ripening agents, hormones, pesticides, and so on.

"They did not purchase the commercial farm crops, and customers who wanted those crops would have purchased from stores bigger than mine. I only made that one purchase, but it had cost me a big loss. From then, I stopped purchasing from commercial farms."

Therefore, his business was now in an awkward spot. His business was bleak, and the profit was too little. But if he closed down, he'd feel sorry for his regulars who had supported him for many years.

Therefore, he urgently needed this break.

Xiao Lingyu nodded, expressing her understanding

This was a contradiction in modern life. On one side, people clamored for green, pollution-free vegetables, but they were dissatisfied with the ugly appearance of farm vegetables.

In fact, the farm vegetables in the countryside were the best.

This was because most of the vegetables grown by the people in the countryside were grown for their own consumption. They rarely used pesticides and did not use ripening agents or the like.

Because of this, these kinds of natural vegetables were very unattractive. They were either small in size or had many small holes in the leaves.

On the contrary, the vegetables on the commercial farms were large in size. Many people would purchase these because they looked better.

Boss Zeng had been buying vegetables from the farmers for so many years. It showed a sense of responsibility for his customers.

Xiao Lingyu had asked Zeng Qinghua to stay because she had something to discuss with him.

Xiao Lingyu said, "Boss Zeng, I'm sure you've already found out about the sales patterns of my crops. I sell mostly high-end vegetables and fruits. They're called noble vegetables and fruits. The price is much higher than ordinary vegetables and fruits."

Boss Zeng nodded. He decided to come to Taoyuan Village because he had gone to Xing Yin County's shop to try Xiao Lingyu's crops before. The taste was amazing. Therefore, he was certain the crops had a big market in City Z. The price was high but as long as the quality was there, there would be customers. Plus, City Z had a lot more rich people than Xing Yin County. Xiao Lingyu knocked on the table and said very seriously, "I'll tell you the truth. Originally, I wanted to open a franchise store in City Z, but I'm pregnant and about to give birth, so I don't have any extra energy to do that. So, I'm going to cooperate with you directly!"
