Chapter 234: Why don't you start a fruit business?

Gu Chen didn't expect Lao Zhao to also be in the fruit business.

He looked surprised.

'Lao Zhao, are you serious?'

Lao Zhao nodded with a smile.

'You can joke about other things, but not about making money. You can see the size of our company, there are more than 80 people here who need to eat. If we don't earn a lot of money, how can we support all these people?'

'We mainly rely on dry goods, but we also have a fruit business, but it's just a middleman, making a difference in price. We don't earn much, so I've never told you about it.'

Before, I thought Gu Chen was just a young kid, but after this incident, my opinion of him has completely changed.

Sometimes people need to be dealt with, otherwise they really think you're easy to bully.

It's like Lao Zhao, even though he gave Gu Chen a share, he still had his own agenda.

After Gu Chen dealt with him like this, now he really has no reservations at all.

Gu Chen nodded, this is really good news for him.

After all, it is much more convenient to do business with one person at a time than with several people at the same time.

Not to mention that you can save a lot of time just by not having to go back and forth.

The time you save can be used to continue making money.

When you think about it, it really makes sense.

Unfortunately, he had already promised to sell this batch of cherries to Li Aifang.

Gu Chen stubbed out the cigarette in his hand.

He spoke honestly, 'Brother Zhao, I can't do it this time. After all, I've already made a deal with someone. But the next batch, the next time I deliver the wolfberries, I'll bring them over for you to see. You can rest assured that they're top quality. If this fruit goes to you, I guarantee that I'll only make a profit!'

Gu Chen really had a lot of confidence in his products.

After all, they were produced by Space, and they were absolutely top quality.

Lao Zhao nodded, 'That's fine, but let's agree that next time you can't delay for so many days. If you don't come for a day, I won't be able to enjoy my food.'

He wasn't exaggerating. Gu Chen was about to make a name for himself with his side dishes of wolfberries, and without him, he just couldn't enjoy his food and couldn't sleep at night.

Gu Chen nodded, 'Okay, I'll go then.'

He said, and was about to leave.

Lao Zhao hurriedly stopped him, 'Wait, the first batch of high-end wolfberries came out the day before yesterday. There aren't many, but they're absolutely exquisite. They've just been put on the market, just these past two days, and the results are quite good. I happen to have a few boxes left, which I was going to use to entertain guests. Now that you're here, take some back to try!'

After saying this, he glanced at Xiao Li, who was carrying goods, and said, 'Go to the second floor and take down the gift box above my desk.'

Xiao Li went upstairs in response.

After a while, he came back down the stairs carrying an exquisitely packaged gift box in his hands. The packaging was black, and when opened, it revealed an ebony box with openwork carvings, which shimmered beautifully in the sunlight.

It was obvious that it was made of high-quality wood, which could only have such a luster.

The entire packaging was extremely impressive.

The cost of the packaging alone was estimated to be forty to fifty yuan.

Gu Chen's eyebrows twitched. To be honest, he really didn't think that Lao Zhao could make wolfberries look this good.

It seems that he really put his heart into it. He nodded with satisfaction.

'It looks really good, Zhao. Thanks for your hard work.'

Zhao nodded. 'It's not hard work. I'm happy when I make money.'

That was the truth. Although Zhao was a bit of a small-minded person, his goal was very clear: to make money!

The central idea of everything was money.

That was the real reason why he had asked Tian Laosi about Gu Chen's supply.

But Gu Chen didn't mind. To him, the more money Lao Zhao loved and the more money he earned, the better it was for him, right?

As long as it didn't harm his own interests, he was happy to do business with someone like that.

'Okay, then I'll go first,'

Gu Chen said, and got into his car.

He now felt that if he really handed over the cherries to Lao Zhao, he might be able to make a lot of money.

The phone rang just as the car started moving. Gu Chen took it out and saw it was Li Aifang.

Gu Chen answered the phone while driving.

Before he could say anything, he heard a hurried and nervous voice on the other end.

'Hello, Mr. Gu, this is Li Aifang. The day before yesterday, didn't we agree that you would sell me the batch of cherries you have in your hands? You didn't forget, did you?'

In the food business, every day that passes is a day of risk.

After all, food can spoil.

She dared not open her own store selling cherries until she had received Gu Chen's goods.

Otherwise, if Gu Chen changed his mind and went against her, the losses would be absolutely disastrous.

Li Aifang had always been a person who thought comprehensively and was cautious.

Gu Chen smiled and said, 'Don't worry, how could I forget about this? I'm on my way to your place.'

Hearing that Gu Chen was on his way to her store,

Li Aifang let out a sigh of relief and patted her chest.

She laughed and said, 'That's good, that's good, it's at 5 Manhua Street, so don't go the wrong way.'

Gu Chen laughed and said, 'Don't worry.'

After hanging up the phone, Gu Chen drove to a place with few people and, following the same procedure, put all the space and Li Zi in his minivan.

Then he went to the address Li Aifang had given him.

As soon as the car arrived at the door, she saw Li Aifang standing in the doorway, looking around with an expression of anxiety on her face, wearing a khaki-coloured long skirt.

Gu Chen stopped the car, got out and greeted her with a smile, 'Long time no see, Boss Li.'

Li Aifang's face broke into a smile when she saw Gu Chen.

'Oh, I'm not some boss, I'm just a small business owner. After all, it's you who will definitely become a boss in the future!'

After saying this, she turned her head to look at her shop and introduced it to Gu Chen.

'This is my small shop. Mr. Gu, if you don't mind the trouble, please come in and take a look, and give me your opinion.'

She said this out of politeness. Most people who do business are very good at talking.

Being sociable and being able to become good friends with everyone gives you more opportunities to get rich.

Gu Chen was not polite either. He nodded and smiled, 'Then I would rather do it than be polite.'

Then he walked towards Li Aifang's fruit shop.

To be honest, Gu Chen had thought a lot along the way.

His idea was that he might as well plant some more fruit and then hand it all over to Lao Zhao.

Ideally, he could work with Lao Zhao to get the fruit business going, but to get it going, it definitely wouldn't work like Lao Zhao said.

He doesn't want to make a profit margin, he wants to be self-sufficient, so that everything he earns is his own.

But nothing is easy, and although doing fruit business sounds simple, there are many tricks to it, and Gu Chen feels that he still needs to understand them all before he can do it.

It so happens that Li Aifang also owns a fruit shop, so Gu Chen goes in to have a look and learn a little bit.
