Just now, Zu Qi felt that the two middle-aged men who were chatting with him looked very familiar. Now, when he saw the two people arguing fiercely in front of him, he immediately realized – weren’t these the bosses who came to the office to discuss business with Tang Yukuan that day?!
However, these bosses were not the ones who signed the sales contracts with him and Tang Yukuan. Instead, they were the ones who left on the spot after several hesitations and doubts because they thought Tang Yukuan’s offer was too high.
Before they left, they swore that the price offered by Tang Yukuan could only attract some buyers who were curious about the product. Even if the quality of the product was excellent, the price was still ridiculously high. If they wanted to develop in the long run, they had to lower the price.
At that time, Zu Qi felt a little regretful, thinking that he had lost several big customers. He didn’t expect that these people would come back in the blink of an eye…
Zu Qi was not far away from the group of noisy people and could vaguely hear the content of their quarrel. If he heard correctly, those people seemed to be arguing about something.
Zu Qi was not the type of person who liked to meddle in other people’s affairs. If he had had encountered such a situation under normal circumstances, he might have just turned around and left. But now that group of people were arguing outside the gate of his orchard, he couldn’t just ignore it no matter what.
But before Zu Qi could take a step, he was pulled back by two middle-aged men around him.
“Boss Zu, don’t be anxious. We have something to discuss with you. Are you available to listen?”
The other man spoke impatiently without waiting for Zu Qi to answer, “You still remember us, right? We met in the office inside last month. At that time we had many concerns, so we did not sign a contract with you for the time being. Now we have thought it through. Do you think you could go in and tell Boss Tang?”
The man spoke sincerely, and Zu Qi quickly understood what they meant.
It turned out he regretted it.
Zu Qi wasn’t quite sure what had happened during this period that made these people change their minds so quickly, but he felt that there must be a reason why Tang Yukuan didn’t want to see these people.
Moreover, the attitude of these people on that day was very arrogant, and they seemed to be taking advantage of their seniority and pretending to be powerful in front of the two young men, Zu Qi and Tang Yukuan.
“I’m sorry, I don’t know much about the things here. If you are interested in discussing cooperation, you can talk to Tang Yukuan directly.” Zu Qi said politely.
The man clicked his tongue in annoyance and scratched his hair: “The key is that Boss Tang refuses to see us and doesn’t answer our calls. We really have no way to deal with him.”
The other man was annoyed: “Maybe he is still angry about our attitude last time.”
After saying that, they both fell into deep regret.
Zu Qi pursed his lips, thinking that it turned out that they knew very well what their attitude was that day. Unfortunately, it was useless to say anything now. The resources that had already been allocated could not be redistributed just because they changed their minds at the last minute.
“In that case, you should come back next time. We will notify you in time once there is news about new products.” Zu Qi changed his words.
“But we…”
They had just started talking when the crowd not far away suddenly noticed Zu Qi’s presence. They stopped arguing and swarmed over, surrounding Zu Qi in a crowd.
“Boss Zu, do you still have apples in stock? My last name is Chen, and I have only been doing business in boutique supermarkets. I would like to discuss cooperation with you. As for the price, I can accept it.”
“Boss Zu, Boss Zu, can we go in and talk? I drove for four hours to get here and didn’t even have time to drink a sip of water.”
“Boss Zu, I’m the general manager of Lechen Company. Our company specializes in canned fruit, and we’re also looking for the best fruit ingredients all over the country. If you have time, I would like to talk to you in detail.”
“Mr. Zu…”
Everyone was chattering, and Zu Qi was stunned on the spot with each word going on. He couldn’t get a word in.
Until Tang Yukuan’s voice mixed with a little anger came from behind, everyone’s voice stopped abruptly, and everyone’s face quickly showed an expression of joy, and they all turned to look at Tang Yukuan.
However, Tang Yukuan’s face did not look good. There was a hint of gloom between his brows. His gaze as deep as the sea was staring straight at these people. The low pressure emanating from the surroundings gave a feeling of impending storm.
These people seemed unaware and surrounded him in surprise. Soon, they surrounded Tang Yukuan in three layers. Poor Zu Qi, who was so popular just now, could only stand alone at the side.
Zu Qi found it funny and felt a little sympathy for Tang Yukuan.
He didn’t know how many such annoying people Tang Yukuan encountered every day when he was doing his work in the orchard.
In fact, Tang Yukuan had already announced to the public that he would no longer recruit partners or agents, but some people, seeing others having tasted the first bite of the cake, shamelessly came to share the pie.
In desperation, Tang Yukuan had to choose to stay away from them. Little did he know that this group of people had secretly decided on the quantity of apples they each wanted to purchase, and they even started quarreling at the orchard gate due to disagreements.
Tang Yukuan was so angry that his lungs were about to explode, but he still maintained a calm expression with an artificial smile on his face. He looked around at the people around him and said slowly: “Since everyone is so sincere, I will give you a chance.”
So Tang Yukuan led everyone into the orchard.
Zu Qi walked beside Tang Yukuan anxiously. He took off his mask and whispered to Tang Yukuan, “Do we have enough inventory?”
“Definitely.” Tang Yukuan smiled slyly, his eyes full of conspiracy. He touched his nose and said, “I promise they won’t purchase too much.”
Zu Qi nodded and watched Tang Yukuan and those people disappear in the office building before he turned and walked towards the orchard.
The area of the orchard had increased a lot compared to before, and nearly twenty more apple trees had been planted. Each apple tree was watered by Tang Yukuan himself with the spring water in the space. The fruits were plump and rosy, and the refreshing fragrance could be smelled from a long distance away.
It had been a while since he last came here, and these apples seemed to be growing better than last time.
Zu Qi, who had nothing to do, strolled around the orchard before continuing to walk towards the warehouse. The originally relatively empty warehouse was already filled with red apples picked from the trees, and the entire warehouse was filled with the fragrance of apples.
On the wooden table near the warehouse door, there were dozens of boxes of apples with delivery labels attached. These were the prizes that Tang Yukuan prepared after hosting a lucky draw on Weibo, but they had not been sent out yet.
Zu Qi checked to see that there was no one around, then took out the jade and entered the space.
When he opened his eyes, he saw a vast lawn planted with all kinds of vegetables. In a trance, Zu Qi thought he had accidentally entered a farm house in the countryside.
The seeds of these vegetables were handed over to A Tao and A Shu by Zu Qi himself. He did not hold out much hope and just let A Tao and A Shu experiment in the space. Unexpectedly, they actually reclaimed a piece of farmland.
Moreover, the vegetables grown in the space appeared to be fresher and crisper than those in real life. The shape of the leaves was particularly beautiful and the sizes were relatively large. Just by looking at their appearance, they were even better than the highest quality vegetables sold in boutique supermarkets.
It took Zu Qi nearly an hour to get around the cultivated fields. He looked up and saw the densely packed fruit trees in front of him, full of all kinds of fruits – peaches, pears and cherries that had been planted a long time ago.
These fruits really… grew wildly regardless of the season.
Zu Qi remembered that cherries were winter fruits, while peaches and pear blossoms bloomed and bore fruit in spring. Now it was April in the real world, the time when spring was in full bloom. He did not expect to see such a magical sight.
Zu Qi didn’t stay there for long before he ran into five members of the Three Auspicious Trasures’ tribe who were patrolling in the woods. He asked them to pick the apples from the trees, pack them together in a box, and then move them into reality.
Fortunately, one minute in the space was equivalent to ten seconds in reality. Zu Qi and five strong men worked for most of the day and finally moved the boxes of packaged apples out of the space. Less than three hours had passed in reality.
Moreover, the people in this space were incredibly strong and their movements were extremely agile.
When Zu Qi finished packing a box of apples with great effort, he turned around and was suddenly surprised to find that more than 20 boxes of apples had been neatly stacked behind him.
But when those people saw the pitiful box of apples in front of Zu Qi, they gave him a thumbs up.
Zu Qi: “…”
After finishing his work, Zu Qi sent the five people back to the space, then put on a hat and a mask and walked towards the office building.
Just as he was about to walk out of the office, he ran into the group of people who had been blocking the orchard gate not long ago. However, their expressions were all very unhappy, which formed a sharp contrast with their cheerful appearance when they came in.
Seeing this, Zu Qi stood aside silently to make way for those people. Those people did not show any politeness at all. They passed by Zu Qi without even looking at him and then left without looking back.
Of course, there were still two or three people who had a better attitude. They greeted Zu Qi with a smile before leaving.
Zu Qi could guess with his toes what Tang Yukuan must have done something to them again. He couldn’t help but want to laugh. He walked into the office and saw Tang Yukuan sitting behind the desk in a nonchalant manner.
“Are you done?” When Tang Yukuan saw Zu Qi coming in, he immediately sat up straight, cleared his throat and said.
“Everything is ready. When will the bosses who have signed the contracts come over?” Zu Qi said.
Tang Yukuan glanced at his watch: “It’s almost time, I made an appointment with them at five o’clock in the afternoon.”
When Zu Qi saw Tang Yukuan’s indifferent look, he knew that the four bosses would have to wander around the orchard for half an hour before they could find their office. At the same time, he suddenly understood why the previous farm went bankrupt.
Tang Yukuan was a completely Buddhist businessman!
