Chapter 455 Large Order from the Food Factory
Chapter 455 Large Order from the Food Factory
After all, each can of fresh mushrooms weighs only a little over two ounces.
With a purchase price of 15 yuan, the profit margin is not very large.
Bi Xiaohe continued:
"After the agricultural expo soon, we will hold an order fair."
Multiple manufacturers will be invited to participate in the comparison; among the same product category, only truly outstanding taste will stand out.
People nowadays don't lack money; what they want is health and delicious food.
The core value of food lies in the eating experience; only deliciousness is the true competitive advantage.
Our products adhere to strict high standards in everything from raw material selection to seasoning ingredients.
We absolutely refuse to cut corners, which naturally increases the cost.
Cao Erdan interjected:
"Mr. Li, if you are worried about poor sales and initial sales difficulties, I can promise to supply the first batch of goods free of charge until they are sold out before settling the payment."
Upon hearing this, Bi Xiaohe frowned slightly, intending to dissuade him, but Cao Erdan stopped her with a look.
Cao Erdan's suggestion to buy on credit may seem rash, but it was actually well thought out.
Bi Xiaohe was afraid of affecting the factory's cash flow; on the other hand, once it became a habit, the consequences would be severe.
However, Cao Erdan possesses extraordinary insight.
He could tell that Li Wenjuan was not only a wealthy and powerful client, but also a grateful person who would come to such a remote mountain village to purchase goods simply to repay his kindness in saving her life.
This generous attitude will not only prevent her from taking advantage of you, but will also eliminate potential doubts and build a foundation of mutual trust!
Sure enough, Li Wenjuan smiled after hearing this:
"There's no need for that. Since I'm interested in cooperating, I've never considered extending credit. Now, how about we inspect the production line together?"
Cao Erdan nodded in agreement and, together with Bi Xiaohe, led the mother and daughter to visit the workshop.
Wang Lanxin was lively and cheerful, and her laughter never stopped throughout the journey:
"Brother Cao, my mother is planning to open eight new chain supermarkets in Yangcheng City. If all goes well, she will further expand the number of branches throughout the coastal area. It will be more convenient to use your products then."
Upon hearing this, Bi Xiaohe realized that the other party's strength was extraordinary.
Nobody knows how Cao Erdan managed to attract such a big customer right after the factory opened and before the warehouse was even full.
Upon entering the workshop, Li Wenjuan's gaze was immediately drawn to the neat and orderly work scene.
More than ten pieces of machinery were arranged in an orderly manner, and the workers were dressed in proper attire and working diligently and attentively.
It seems that what Bi Xiaohe said was true.
She secretly praised: This is a conscientious company that operates with integrity!
Despite its slightly higher unit price, with its consistent quality and excellent taste, it's not impossible for it to become a well-known brand in the future.
Li Wenjuan earnestly warned Cao Erdan:
"Xiao Cao, you must adhere to the bottom line of quality and strive for excellence."
Many businesses fail because they lack the determination to persevere.
Short-term gains depend on opportunity, while lasting prosperity stems from unwavering conviction!
Cao Erdan nodded:
"President Li's teachings are invaluable, and I will always keep them in mind!"
Li Wenjuan's success in building a nationwide business is no accident.
She also believed that Cao Erdan had great potential and was worth getting to know better.
He immediately announced, "I have tasted your products and witnessed the production process firsthand, so I have a good understanding of the situation. I have tentatively decided to order 10,000 cases of each type of canned food, for a total of 50,000 cases, and then we can sign the contract!"
Cao Erdan and Bi Xiaohe were overjoyed to hear this.
Based on an average of 12 bottles per box and a unit price of 10 yuan for ordinary canned food, the total revenue reached 480 million yuan.
Each bottle of canned shiitake mushrooms is sold for an additional 5 yuan, which adds up to 150 million yuan.
The total value of this order was as high as 630 million yuan, which startled Bi Xiaohe.
This is the largest order we've received since we opened.
However, this is only the beginning.
According to this Ms. Li, even if all the goods were stocked in all her supermarkets, this would still be far from enough.
This is just the initial experimental stage.
"Thank you for your support, Mr. Li. We will definitely work harder to ensure timely delivery of high-quality products," Bi Xiaohe said excitedly.
Cao Erdan watched the confident young woman from the side and felt happy.
My goal is to lead everyone in Hetang Village onto the road to prosperity.
The goal is to ignite their passion for making money.
Li Wenjuan nodded in satisfaction: "Very good. I hope you can maintain a first-class standard while speeding up the progress."
Wang Lanxin chimed in from the side:
"Mom, why do you keep emphasizing quality? It's like you don't believe in other people's abilities!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Bi Xiaohe solemnly promised: "Please rest assured, we value our reputation and will never betray your trust, not even those we know!"
Li Wenjuan smiled and said, "Then let's finalize the contract details! Then we'll go to the city, and I'll treat you and Factory Director Xiaohe to dinner!"
Bi Xiaohe hurriedly declined, saying, "How could I trouble you, our esteemed guest, to spend so much? You are our factory's lucky star; it is I who should entertain you!"
Li Wenjuan suggested, "Since that's the case, let's not go to a restaurant. Why don't you prepare a few home-style dishes here, preferably authentic farmhouse flavors, so we can experience the pure joy of rural life?"
Cao Erdan readily agreed: "No problem, I'll have someone prepare an authentic country feast right away. After dinner, I'll take Mr. Li on a tour of my farmland and ecological base."
"Excellent!"
Wang Lanxin was the first to clap her hands in delight.
Cao Erdan arranged for people to cook at the food factory.
They used all the specialty vegetables from Hetang Village to cook a feast for Li Wenjuan and her daughter.
After dinner, I'll take them out for a tour.
First, we visited the base.
The mother and daughter were amazed when they saw the enormous dragon scale melon.
Seeing the white jade-like milk melon made both mother and daughter blush.
The branches are laden with vibrant green wood ear mushrooms, and the lotus lake ripples with clear water, creating a vivid and picturesque scene.
Wang Lanxin was extremely excited and kept jumping around:
"Brother Cao, this place has beautiful scenery. Opening a farmhouse hotel here, offering on-site fishing and self-picking services, would definitely be a huge success!"
Cao Erdan smiled and thanked him: "I will consider it carefully, and I will definitely invite you to come and play first when the time comes."
"awesome!"
Wang Lanxin was so happy that she grabbed Cao Erdan's arm and jumped up and down.
Li Wenjuan shook her head inwardly.
Looking at her daughter, who was about the same age as Bi Xiaohe, she only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun, but she was not as capable as the young girls from the countryside.
As everyone was strolling around, a strange sight suddenly appeared ahead.
Then, Sister Xinghua rode over on her big black motorcycle.
A long line of her family's domestic pigs followed behind.
Like the pig king's "Big Black," it strode confidently and proudly at the head of the procession.
Following closely behind were two plump sows.
Behind them were huge half-grown pigs and a group of lively piglets.
There are more than twenty in total.
They followed closely behind Big Black, like loyal followers.
What amazed Li Wenjuan and her daughter the most was that Sister-in-law Xinghua sat comfortably on the back of the big black dog, holding her mobile phone, looking relaxed and carefree.
Wang Lanxin was overjoyed.
"Wow, this lady is so cool! She can actually ride a pig! Her pig is so impressive, it's unbelievable!" someone exclaimed.
Cao Erdan laughed and said, "This pig doesn't belong to her; it's my personal pet!"
He blew a loud whistle, and Big Black immediately turned and ran towards his master.
Its steps were brisk, as joyful as a loyal dog seeing its owner.
Sister-in-law Xinghua was caught off guard and almost fell.
Upon seeing Cao Erdan, he quickly got down and said to Cao Erdan with a big smile:
"Erdan, how much would you sell your pet pig for? It's so charismatic, I love it so much. Why don't you sell it to your sister-in-law?"
