I'm incredibly ambitious after being reborn.

Chapter 47 Opening the Door to Do Business
The publicity before the 8th was not widespread, but quite a few local business owners came to check it out. In addition to those from Jiyang City, some from the surrounding areas also learned about this market through personal connections.

For example, Jinghai Prefecture, which faces Jiyang City across the river, also has a large number of farmers, with countless farms starting with 5,000 ducks in ponds. The slaughterhouse in the west of Jinghai Prefecture processes more than 3 million ducks every year.

This is nothing compared to the fact that there are many slaughterhouses in the eastern coastal areas of Huainan Province that process tens of millions of ducks every year.

However, compared to Jingxiang Road, Huainan Road is insignificant. Shannan Road has more lakes, so the scale of waterfowl farming is naturally larger. In addition, Jianghan is a regional center with convenient transportation in all directions. It has always achieved great success in this kind of niche market related to agricultural and sideline products.

So at this moment, one or two business owners from Jingxiang Road happened to be passing by. Like the local business owners, they also wanted to expand their businesses.

They were just there to watch the show, but after Zhang Daxiang had the promotional brochures and other materials distributed, the two bosses from Jingxiang Road started to think that there might actually be something to it.

They do have cold storage facilities, but it's a small one. It's not self-built; it's rented from an old factory in Jianghan. It has a capacity of 500 tons and a monthly rent of 40,000 yuan.

Among a group of nouveau riche bosses, he is already considered a respectable big boss.

However, they knew very well that if they wanted to expand their business, especially since they had started in Jingxiang Road, they had to find ways to do so from outside.

Currently, it's practically impossible for someone of their caliber to rent out a whole medium-to-large cold storage facility in Jingxiang Road. The monthly rent wouldn't be particularly favorable either; for large clients, it might be around 150,000 yuan, but for them, it could easily become 200,000 or even 400,000 yuan.

Electricity and management fees are calculated separately.

Zhang Daxiang managed to snag a huge bargain in a small place like Jiyang City, while they could only watch helplessly. Even though they all knew that acquiring "Golden Mulberry Leaf" for a few million was a sure thing, they didn't have that much capital, and besides, they weren't locals.

However, businessmen from Jingxiang are known for their audacity. After a brief discussion, the two men stepped forward and said to Zhang Daxiang, "Mr. Zhang, would it be convenient for us to talk in private? Our need for storage capacity might be a bit large."

"Oh?"

Zhang Daxiang was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "This way, please. Let's hurry."

"it is good."

After finding a corner, the two exchanged business cards and said directly, "Mr. Zhang, if we were to purchase a storage capacity of 3,000 tons, could you offer us a discount?"

"Three thousand tons? That's ten rooms?"

"Correct."

"The most advanced equipment we've brought in costs 200 yuan per ton. In the coastal area of ​​Jiangnan East Road, the rental fee for newer imported equipment is 150 yuan. Older warehouses with high electricity consumption only cost 70 or 80 yuan. I've inspected the equipment here; it's only been used for less than six months, and the electricity consumption is still low. I'll cut the retail price by 100,000 yuan, making the total monthly rental 350,000 yuan. We'll have a three-month trial period, after which we can guarantee a stable payment of the rental fee, and then sign a one-year contract."

"Ok?"

"what?!"

The two of them were clearly taken aback for a moment. In fact, what they were planning was to rent the whole place for two months first.

During these two months, they will try to acquire a batch of imported goods. During this period, they will take the purchase contract back to their hometown to collect the advance payment.

Once the advance payment was received, the imported goods would be arriving at the port soon.

Then, the "Golden Mulberry Leaves" were transported to the warehouse near Jiyang Port, and things became much simpler after that.

It's basically a daring scheme, a bit like "getting something for nothing," but there's a fixed cost: the cold storage rent. The lower they can push it, the more room they have for maneuver. Based on past experience, they figured Zhang Daxiang would ask for around 400,000 yuan a month, but they didn't expect him to cut it by 50,000 yuan. If it were at zero rent, it would indeed be a reduction of 100,000 yuan.

It's a great gesture no matter where you put it, especially since it's our first meeting and we've only exchanged one business card.

This left the two of them completely bewildered, wondering if this local guy was trying to scam them.

"Don't worry, bosses. I'm just doing business, and what I need is for the warehouse space to be in good working order. Whether you're renting long-term or short-term, it doesn't matter to me."

"It seems Mr. Zhang saw through our little scheme..."

The older man looked embarrassed, then raised his hands in a fist and bowed slightly before saying seriously, "Since Mr. Zhang didn't look down on us because of our little tricks, if we still try to argue about the rent, then we're just being unreasonable. Mr. Zhang, let's make it three months. After three months, I hope we can continue to cooperate, and I'll reward you handsomely then."

"I'll say it again: I'm an open business owner who follows the rules. As long as you don't cause any major disturbances in the warehouse, everything is negotiable."

"Alright! Mr. Zhang, three thousand tons it is, three months!"

As if he had made up his mind, the older Jingxiang boss seemed to be encouraging himself, and he really did decide on the spot to take over the 3,000-ton warehouse capacity for a full three months.

Zhang Daxiang doesn't really care who rents it or how it's rented; he's telling the truth. As long as the storage capacity is circulating, he won't have to worry about contracts.

However, he still admired these two men from Jingzhou; they were truly daring and adventurous.

Businessmen in the Jiangnan East Road area along the river rarely do this; most, like Zhang Daxiang today, become "sit-and-wait merchants."

People rely on the mountains for sustenance and the water for livelihood. Jiyang City is located next to the most valuable section of the Yangtze River, so there are really not many people motivated to go out and make a name for themselves.

Especially since everywhere, regardless of the direction, is a "land of fish and rice," it's quite difficult to go hungry.

Zhang Daxiang admired the fighting spirit of these two Jingzhou business owners. The more energetic entrepreneurs there were, the bigger his business would become in the future.

After all, if they want to dominate the ancestral hall and have absolute power in the future, the current income is far from enough; they need to have both windfall and unexpected wealth.

"Dear bosses! Dear bosses! I have some good news to announce: of the 4,500 tons of storage capacity at 'Jin Sang Ye', 3,000 tons have already been leased out. Here, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Mr. Xiao and Mr. Su from Jingxiang Daoxia Prefecture! Thank you for your trust in 'Jin Sang Ye' and for your support of its development! Thank you!"

As he spoke, Zhang Daxiang even bowed on stage, a move that completely stunned the two people from Jingxiang.

Good guy! ! !
I used to say this local guy was a kind person.

So they turned around and used us as pawns?!
However, it doesn't affect anything. The two of them were at a stage where they needed a reputation to achieve big results with small investments. Zhang Daxiang made them "big bosses" in the eyes of the local businessmen, which was a good thing.

So even though they knew Zhang Daxiang was using them to provoke everyone present, they still greeted people around them with smiles and offered cigarettes.

That kind and approachable demeanor made him seem like a Confucian merchant from Chu who walked the land of Jiyang...

So stylish!
