Cold chain for 20 years

Chapter 110
One morning at the end of March, a big event happened in Tongxing.

The bright banner reads "Signing Ceremony for Aquatic Products Supply between Tongxing Cold Chain Distribution Center and Gannan, Zhengqu, and Donghe Farmers' Markets". This event has done a lot of publicity work, and it was also published in the newspaper, and it quickly spread throughout Qingyan City. Spread the word.

At the same time, Tongxing's refrigerated trucks are going to and from Qingyan Panzhu, and batches of frozen fish and shrimp are entering Tongxing's cold storage.And the grasp of this point in time directly ruined the mentality of the big vegetable vendors in the five counties in the north of the city!

Waiting for April, waiting for April, strangling the road of vegetables, and waiting for Tongxing to be unable to supply goods in April, for this river and lake, it is time to talk about what to do and what is wrong.

But at the end of March, Tong Xing suddenly walked up to Aquaculture, and all of a sudden, the trump card in his hand collapsed.

You know, Qingyan and even Qingning as a whole, the most indispensable thing is vegetables.The five counties in the north of the city go further north, and Qingyan goes south and then south. The province of vegetables lives up to its reputation.

Therefore, whether it is the three major farmers' markets or other vegetable markets, the supply of vegetables has never been difficult, but aquatic products are completely different.If Tongxing can supply aquatic products for a long time, it will be a treasure for the three major markets. The rarer the fish, the more profitable it is. It is not an exaggeration to say that if Tongxing has enough volume, they can even make the market the main aquatic products.

But for the big vegetable vendors who stick to Tongxing Vegetable Road, this [-]% contract is a fatal blow.In February, Tongxing released the news of its opening, which made all the vegetable merchants panic. Hu Shutong's move dragged the vegetable merchants for more than two months, and they were already exhausted.Hearing about the aquatic products, Tong Xing is destined not to stumble at this time, and it is meaningless to continue entanglement.

Have never fought head-to-head, but have been completely defeated?In this way, it is easy to see these big vegetable vendors who have been entrenched for many years.There is no small matter in making a living, not to mention that it is related to a huge net.

On this day, a stranger in his 50s and [-]s came to Tongxing.When meeting Hu Shu, he didn't introduce himself, but straight to the point expressed his clear appeal.

"Boss Hu, in fact, there is no need for Tongxing to run around. We will deliver the vegetables to your door in person. How much do you want? What do you think?"

It is also one of Hu Shutong's ideas to build Tongxing into a storage base and welcome Bafang vegetables to the market in batches, and it will make everything easier.But that requires a healthy and orderly atmosphere. With the current environment of "old trees and roots" in the five counties of the city, if you can't catch the goods on the ground, Tongxing is equivalent to a big box with no ability to move, and you can't escape being manipulated. fate.

"Then if that's the case, why don't you help me send it directly to the three major markets?"

When Hu Shutong asked this question, the other party forced a smile, and said dryly, "If you really need it, it's not impossible."

Hu Shutong couldn't help but chuckled, "Then why did I build these factories?"

"Boss Hu, it's okay for us to go our separate ways, but I hope to pay attention to your reference about the price of the vegetables we will collect in the future."

"What's the meaning."

"Boss Hu, the five counties in Qingbei are actually not big, so it's not difficult to coordinate the affairs on the ground. If we adopt the same purchase price, we can make no distinction between you and me. Why not do business together?"

This person talked about a key question, that is, how do the vegetable prices come from?

In essence, except for strong weather factors, the price of vegetables mostly depends on supply and demand, but in this era, human factors have great power.

In the entire chain of vegetable farmers, vegetable harvesters, wholesalers, and retailers, vegetable farmers, the producers of vegetables, have the lowest intervention in prices, and experienced people can only roughly grasp a trend.Terminal retailers, such as stall owners in vegetable markets, cannot control prices, so sometimes in order to achieve a desired profit, they often resort to tricks.

But for vegetable collectors, some vegetable collectors are wholesalers. On the surface, they do not intervene in prices, but they can change the quantity of vegetables.Especially in the special environment of the five counties in the north of the city that have been dominated for many years, the big vegetable vendors secretly wait and see and contact each other. Years of operation have made this matter a dark closed loop, and quantitative things are not difficult to achieve.

Once quantified, the price will always float in an ideal curve.

"If I agree, shouldn't it be quantified next?"

The man laughed, "Tongxing is a big fish family. Meat makes a lot of money. Vegetables in three markets are enough. Besides, the profit of vegetables is so small, Boss Hu doesn't like it, right?"

At this point, for Hu Shutong, there is no room for discussion. On the surface, it seems that the same price is charged, and it is a good thing for everyone to compete rationally.But far away, based on the consumption caused by their blockade of Tongxing in the past few months, the next step must be to reduce prices aggressively to recover the previous losses.If Tongxing disagrees, they will worry that a large amount of vegetables will return to Tongxing. They used to treat each other like tigers, so how can they do the thing of raising tigers.

From the perspective of Tongxing, without the initiative to price, it will be restricted by quantity, which is no different from the body.

Hu Shutong stared at the man, "Go back and pass on a message. It is impossible to lower the price, but I am willing to accompany you to raise the price."

With the help of fuel subsidies and green channels, Hu Shutong can fully afford it. I don’t know if the other party has forgotten that the person in front of him is a serious vegetable farmer’s son. It’s really poignant to take money from vegetable farmers in front of him. It's a matter of bones.

Those words made the man squint his eyes deeply. He thought he had used some tricks, first said something that was completely impossible to respond, and then retreated to reveal what he wanted, but hearing this sentence, people felt that not only did things not go their way, Go forward, talk about going backwards!
In the past, it was not difficult to see that the person in front of him was a man with means, but what was even more frustrating than this was that, in addition to the skills of legs and feet, there was also an irresistible character of mind.

"Boss Hu is a little confused now! This is something that can bring Boss Hu to the table. Once it is on the table, there is nothing that cannot be discussed."

"I don't know countertops, I only know that as long as it is a dish, it should be served on the table."

"It's a pity the name Tongxing."

"Together, it is the prosperity of those who share the same path."

……

On the night of parting from Yu Dajun, Hu Shutong drank too much.

As early as more than 20 days ago, the construction team and equipment had left, but Yu Dajun has been with him until now.

And he had to leave, Panhu Fishing Port, that more magnificent picture scroll, is his next story.

The wine glasses are staggered. In the past, there are bits and pieces of the eaves of the years, and in the back, there are big projects in the big park, and the sea and the sky are free to gallop.But at this moment, neither of them wanted to talk about that anymore.

"Through my observation during this period in Qingyan, the days when I ate dried fruit and bread with jam after drinking that year, I co-authored a lot, thank you, old man!"

"What old man, I asked you to search for it at that time, thank you for talking quickly."

"Different, there are some things that should be pondered over. I have met Pingxin, a girl who is heroic and extraordinary, especially the way she looks at you, as if there are fish in the lake!"

"You don't have to worry about my affairs."

"I don't worry about who cares. People of the same age in the reform and opening up, tsk tsk, think about how old I am."

"Brother Dajun, you are ten years earlier than the reform and opening up, where is your wife?"

"Can I compare to you! A top graduate student, well-known in the industry, it's strange that you don't have a wife!"

"I also wonder, a person who has worked hard for so many years, speaks martial arts well, and is professional and proficient in doing things, has reached the age where he can't find it if he doesn't look for it."

The wine glass slammed down.

"Let's get down to business, which year will the second phase start!"
