Chapter 366: Three hundred and sixty-six, start a restaurant_1

And yesterday, I bought a fridge full of vegetables and fruits, and until now, I’ve only eaten a little bit.

Before that, I also bought a villa, ordered a new car, and now even the funds in my hands are going to be empty.

I need to wait for the payments from several storefronts in Haicheng and the dividends from the Ji Family’s sale of medicines for a while longer.

After some thought, Tian Laosì felt suddenly he really had nothing to do for the time being.

Might as well go home and do some housework.

However, sometimes life is strange that way; just when you think you’ve run out of things to do,

chores seek you out.

At this moment, Tian Laosì was holding a vacuum cleaner and doing housework at home,

all the while looking somewhat puzzledly at Zhao Chunfeng, who stood opposite of him, dust-streaked on his face, and a man beside him.

"You’re saying you want to turn all the fruits I’ve grown into canned goods, and you also want to get the national retail distribution rights?"

"Exactly, I hope Boss Gu can agree," said the man opposite him, dressed in a designer suit, enthusiastically extending his hand while introducing himself.

"Wang Hongda, from Huacheng."

Although Tian Laosì was wearing an apron and holding a vacuum cleaner, making him look somewhat out of place,

this man seemed to be very experienced and had a clear objective.

As long as the business deal could be concluded, he wouldn’t mind if Tian Laosì was wearing an apron and doing housework, or even if he was wearing an apron while seeking prostitutes.

And Tian Laosì put down the vacuum cleaner in his hand and shook hands with the other party.

After inviting them to sit down, Wang Hongda seemed a bit eager as he spoke.

"I’ve tasted all of Boss Gu’s fruits in the store. The quality is absolutely top-notch.

I originally thought they were premium products selected for sale at high prices.

But I never expected that Boss Gu had already been planting them on a large scale. I’m lucky to have met Old Zhao at the trade fair,

otherwise, I might have really missed out on this deal."

Pausing there, Wang Hongda immediately continued with enthusiasm,

"I’ve always thought that fruits as good as the ones grown by Boss Gu should not just be confined to Haicheng,

but we should find a way to let the entire population of the country,

and even the whole world, have the opportunity to enjoy them.

Of course, limited by the current level of transportation and preservation technology, it’s likely that these fruits won’t last long once they leave Haicheng.

But canning them can perfectly solve this problem.

Especially our factory, which is among the first in the country to have purchased vacuum packaging production lines from abroad.

Compared to the tin sealing technology used by other manufacturers, the canned goods we produce have a longer shelf life,

and they are also safer for human health.

We have already gained some fame in Huacheng. Boss Gu can be completely assured about the craftsmanship."

Hearing this, Zhao Chunfa, who had been quiet until then, also joined the conversation,

"Brother Gu, Wang Hongda is right about this, I’ve inspected the factory in advance.

The production lines are brand new, I, Old Zhao, can guarantee with my reputation."

Tian Laosì smiled when he heard this; he trusted Zhao Chunfa very much.

It seemed that the other party did have potential for cooperation, otherwise, he wouldn’t have brought him all the way to Chuan City personally.

After a brief thought, he continued to inquire,

"So, how does Director Wang plan to solve the long-distance transportation problem?"

Clearly, Wang Hongda had prepared extensively before coming to face Tian Laosì’s question.

He didn’t even think about it, and directly said.

"We’ll set up the factory right here in Haicheng. Initially, I’ll transport some production lines over for local production.

If possible, I’ll also hire some villagers to work in the cannery.

As for the salary, I can guarantee it will be on par with the local wages in Haicheng, and I won’t shortchange anyone."

Before he came, Wang Hongda knew that the ones looking after Gu Chen’s fields were his parents and fellow villagers.

On his way here, through the casual conversations with Old Zhao, he learned that Gu Chen has always been a person who values old relationships.

Even after moving to the city, he often drove back to the countryside and took great care of the villagers.

Wang Hongda was concerned about any misunderstanding, so he quickly explained this to Gu Chen.

"Building a factory in the village would indeed be a good thing."

Gu Chen nodded upon hearing this. Although he often asked Tian Laosì to bring villagers to help in the fields,

that was, after all, temporary.

Up to now, the vast majority of his fellow villagers were still earning a living by farming or by working away from home.

Even Gu Chen himself was no different before his rebirth.

If the cannery really can be established, not only would he have an additional source of income besides his few stores,

but the villagers back home could also have a stable and guaranteed income.

No longer having to leave their homes to find work elsewhere, this could definitely be regarded as killing several birds with one stone.

However, thinking of this, Gu Chen then asked,

"If I’m not mistaken, Director Wang’s cannery in Huacheng should be considered a local business, right?

But now, if you are to set up a branch in Haicheng, your brand recognition and reputation there

would be almost nil. I’m curious how you plan to handle marketing and sales later on?"

Wang Hongda had prepared many arguments beforehand but was still taken aback by Gu Chen’s question.

"Naturally, we will develop a local general distributor here first, and then continue to lay out offline channels.

The process might be slower, but Boss Gu’s fruits are so delicious, the taste of the canned products will surely be excellent as well.

Once the reputation is built up, the business will definitely thrive."

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen couldn’t help but shake his head.

After hearing Gu Chen’s marketing proposal, Wang Hongda was somewhat dumbfounded. He had never thought that advertising could be done in such a way.

For a moment, he couldn’t help asking uneasily,

"Boss Gu, are you sure this method will work?"

Gu Chen just smiled slightly, indicating that he was only making a suggestion, and then confidently added,

"At least so far, I’ve never failed, but whether or not Director Wang wants to try

is entirely up to you. After all, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and there’s a saying, ’Opportunity knocks but once.’"

Hearing this, the other party gritted his teeth and finally made a decision.

"Boss Gu is right. Let’s do it your way."

Gu Chen extended his hand and said with a light smile,

"Then I wish us a pleasant collaboration."

The other party also heaved a sigh of relief and reached out to shake hands with Gu Chen.

"A pleasant collaboration!"

Afterward, the two chatted for a while, hammered out some details of the subsequent collaboration, and then signed the contract right there and then.

The other party left behind a bank card loaded with three hundred thousand.
