Chapter 150: Chapter 149: Unexpected Visitor, Xu Yang’s Resources!_2

Quickly, Xu Yang received the analysis report sent by Liu Rui and went to the town to print a copy.

The farm lacked an office. They needed to set up an office space with a few computers and connect a printer for convenience.

Now, he could only go to the town to print.

Afterward, Xu Yang posted a video on his own account.

The title of the video was "Farm Daily Life, Potato Harvest Complete, Ready for Sale".

Xu Yang showcased the potatoes he had harvested and also displayed the Agricultural University’s analysis report in the video.

In the video, he said:

"The potatoes I’ve grown are high-quality, with good shapes, fewer holes, a deep yellow flesh inside, and absolutely top-notch taste."

"Such a size, and all-natural without any growth enhancers or anything like that."

"But it’s quite hard to find a buyer, as the market tends to buy at low prices."

"In the next few days, I need to contact some purchasers and sell all these potatoes."

The moment the video was posted, the fans flocked to it.

Everyone commented:

"Old Xu, with your scale, do you still need to sell potatoes? You make more money from a few live streams than from selling these!"

"Yeah, you have two million six hundred thousand followers now. A single live stream of sales would cover a year’s worth of potato sales!"

"Still don’t know how to make money, Old Xu!"

"Just sell them direct. If you do a live sale for these potatoes, netizens will buy them all up!"

"Put them on sale directly, I’ll buy 5 jin first, I was just thinking of making potato and green bean stew."

The atmosphere in the video was very lively.

Everyone was right, if Xu Yang were to list the potatoes for sale, they would definitely sell fast.

But it was a bit tricky, since Xu Yang was in the Northeast, and the shipping costs to the rest of the country were quite expensive.

Buying potatoes worth 10 yuan might cost 20 yuan in shipping fees.

He wasn’t making much, but the shipping companies were certainly happy.

And those buying the potatoes would have to pay double the price, which was totally not worth it.

Xu Yang also planned to continue growing potatoes in the future. He couldn’t rely solely on netizens, so building up channels, establishing a good reputation, and finding good suppliers would make things much easier later on.

Building these channels now was bound to be difficult.

But once they were established, it would be like a light boat passing through thousands of mountains.

Since Xu Yang had posted the video, he received a lot more private messages, with many people contacting him to discuss buying potatoes.

After all, he was quite popular in the outdoor section, and many people liked him.

Xu Yang responded to each one and discussed with these people as well.

Some were too far away, with high delivery costs and significant risks, so he had to give it more thought.

Others didn’t need so much, wanting to buy 20,000 jin; Xu Yang felt that selling in smaller amounts was more troublesome.

The following day, Xu Yang continued to reach out to people.

Knowing he was busy with sales, the employees made sure to do their farm work well every day.

After all, their wages came from the farm’s revenue, and all three certainly hoped for higher earnings from the farm.

It wasn’t until the next afternoon.

A car drove up beside the farm.

The rear door opened, and a middle-aged man stepped out from the car; another man also got out of the front passenger side.

Hearing the sound, Little Black and the Maquan dog ran over, stopping at a distance and barking at the two people, "Woof woof woof."

The geese in the yard also made a "gagaga" sound.

Hearing the noise, Xu Yang came out to see what was happening, followed by two employees.

"Is Farmer Xu here?"

The middle-aged man asked.

Hearing someone was looking for him, Xu Yang approached.

He first looked at Little Black and Yuanbao, the dog, and said:

"Little Black, Yuanbao, quiet!"

As the sound of his voice fell, the two dogs who were originally on guard immediately changed their expressions, turning amiable.

They no longer barked.

"Hello, what can I do for you?"

Xu Yang walked up and asked.

The middle-aged man gave Xu Yang a glance and smiled,

"Mr. Xu, I’m from Capital City, just arrived at Chaoyang River Airport at noon, had a meal, and then came straight here."

"I’m the manager of a resort in Capital City, responsible for the resort’s operations and logistics."

"My name is Zheng Youcai."

Zheng Youcai took out a business card and handed it to Xu Yang.

Xu Yang took the business card and looked at it. The packaging of the card felt Advanced; the words were engraved on it, with "Resort Manager Zheng Youcai" written on it.

"Hello, Manager Zheng, you came all the way from Capital City? That must’ve been tough."

Xu Yang politely responded.

"That’s right, I’ve always enjoyed watching your livestreams, you know, with the tiger, Leopard, and all that. It’s really thrilling."

"Didn’t you post a video about potatoes yesterday? I took a screenshot of the analysis report and showed it to a friend of mine."

"My friend told me that if the analysis is accurate, these potatoes are of extremely high quality."

"Our resort has a high demand for potatoes, after all, we cater to many guests’ meals."

"So, I thought I’d come here to discuss a potential cooperation with you. If the potatoes are indeed fine, I’ll take the whole lot."

Zheng Youcai got straight to the point.

In Capital City, where the pace is fast and efficiency is highly valued, and since Zheng Youcai was quite busy, he had come specifically because the resort happened to be looking to purchase a batch of potatoes.

The previous supplier had played tricks, stuffing ordinary potatoes among the high-quality ones he had requested. After discovering this, Zheng Youcai immediately canceled the cooperation with them.

There were quite a few such suppliers; after cooperating for a long time, they’d start trying to pinch pennies.

Zheng Youcai decided to look for a supplier himself. After seeing Xu Yang’s video and having a friend verify the analysis report, he came over as soon as he got the results to negotiate the cooperation in person.

"No problem, they’re all stored in the warehouse."

"I was just about to sell them; you’re welcome to take a look."

Xu Yang led the two men into the farm.

The subsequent proceedings went very smoothly, as both parties were straightforward people.

The person Zheng Youcai brought with him was there to verify the quality of the potatoes. After an inspection and cutting open a few, they all turned out to be excellent potatoes.

As a result, Zheng Youcai decided to buy the entire batch right away.

At one yuan per jin

The price even surprised Xu Yang a bit, as the general market price was seventy cents, and many large merchants would negotiate long and hard for an extra five cents.

Zheng Youcai directly set the price at one yuan.

In fact, a few tens of thousands of yuan was not much for Zheng Youcai.

On one hand, he wanted to see Xu Yang’s farm, having often watched Xu Yang’s livestreams.

On the other hand, he was looking for a long-term partnership, and this was just the beginning.

And so, the deal was settled.

Zheng Youcai made the full payment right away, saying that the truck would come soon to pick up the potatoes.

"Mr. Xu, let’s keep in touch; if you grow potatoes next year, we can collaborate again," Zheng Youcai said to him.

"Don’t you want to look around some more?" Xu Yang asked.

"No need, I have a flight tonight, and I’ll arrive back in Capital City by dawn. I need to get going."

Zheng Youcai waved a hand.

He arrived at noon, finalized the cooperation in the afternoon, and was heading back in the evening.

Xu Yang had attended university in Capital City; he wasn’t at all surprised by this pace.

In the big city, life isn’t as leisurely as his, with plenty of time to wander around.

It’s a life of racing against the clock.
