Chapter 57
Chapter 53: Run Jia Nie Zirong
Coming to the county seat, Zhou Tong found a car rental company with difficulty.
At this time in 2002, renting a car was not a common thing. Zhou Tong wanted to rent a van like Wang Changgui, but he couldn’t find it.
So I had to ask my wife for some more money and rent a truck, so that Zhou Tong’s driver’s license could also be used.
Zhou Tong filled most of the carriage with strawberries. The nearly ten acres of strawberries would definitely not be sold in one day, and Zhou Tong did not plan to sell these strawberries in one day.
After loading the goods alone, Zhou Tong drove his car to the side of the peasant association again.
It’s still the same as when I came last time, it was less than eleven o’clock, when the flow of people was slowly increasing.
Zhou Tong drove the car to the place where he stopped last time. As soon as he got out of the car, someone saw Zhou Tong, and then many people came over.
It is next to the vegetable market, where many people from the surrounding communities buy vegetables.
When everyone saw Zhou Tong, many people began to shout, “Boss Strawberry, how many goods are there today?”
“More!” Zhou Tong patted the carriage and said, “There shouldn’t be a shortage of goods today!”
“Okay, give me ten!”
“I want it too, I want it too! I’ll have ten too!”
Many people had originally bought Zhou Tong’s strawberries, so when they saw Zhou Tong, the crowd had already started to gather.
Seeing that the scene was a little chaotic, Zhou Tong could only helplessly stretch out his hand and shouted loudly, “My sisters, big brothers, let’s not crowd or be in a hurry. In this case, we can’t do business!”
“Still follow the old way, line up one by one, and ensure that there are strawberries!”
Zhou Tong tried his best to raise the volume, and after shouting several times, he drowned out the voices of most of the people around him.
After hearing Zhou Tong’s words, they hurriedly rushed to line up one by one spontaneously.
After the crowd began to stabilize, Zhou Tong heaved a long sigh of relief. He was in business, but he didn’t want to cause any accident. Otherwise, the above would have asked him to drink tea.
Zhou Tong walked to the door of the carriage, opened the door, and brought the strawberry baskets that filled the entire carriage into everyone’s eyes.
“Huh! It seems that there is really enough stock today!”
“Yeah, I thought the strawberry boss was a liar!”
When everyone was shocked, Zhou Tong climbed up and shouted to the crowd below: “Everyone, I have a lot of goods today, don’t worry about not being able to buy them, let’s come one by one, don’t cut the queue!”
After that, he walked down and asked the first person, “How many strawberries do you need?”
“I…I want ten!” A young woman was photographed in front, and she said quickly.
“it is good!”
Zhou Tong nodded, removed a basket of strawberries from the car, and then picked out ten and packed them.
“Here, fifteen yuan each, ten one hundred and fifty yuan. Today you are the first customer, and I will send you one more!”
When the young woman heard this, her face was filled with joy and she said, “Really? Thank you so much, little brother!”
Zhou Tong was a little helpless, he remembered this young woman, she was the one who called the strawberry boss at first, and now she has become a little brother after giving a strawberry.
Sure enough, women are fickle!
After the young woman left, the second aunt came up and said, “Young man, give me ten too!”
“alright, please wait.”
Zhou Tong packed ten strawberries for the aunt and handed them over, and then charged one hundred and fifty yuan.
“I want five!”
“I.. I’ll just have one!” Although there are many communities next to this peasant association, not all of them are rich.
Buying ten is still very rare, and most of them are buying four or five.
What happened in the morning passed quickly. In just two hours, half of the strawberries in the carriage had been sold.
However, the team in front of Zhou Tong was only increasing. Not far away, a man of medium stature stood out among a group of aunts, uncles and young women.
Although Zhou Tong paid attention to this person, he did not ask much.
“Dude, give me two!”
“Okay! Thirty yuan!”
Zhou Tong smiled and packed the strawberries and handed them over.
The man didn’t say much, he gave the money and took the strawberry, then walked aside, took out a strawberry and took a bite.
This man originally came here because of his reputation. I heard that the strawberries here are delicious, and after eating it, it has a refreshing effect. I haven’t seen it for a few days. I just happened to meet it today and bought two.
When the man took a bite, his eyes suddenly widened!
He finally understood why Zhou Tong’s strawberries were so popular. If such delicious and fragrant strawberries were not popular, it would be really hard to tolerate!
It wasn’t until about three o’clock in the afternoon that Zhou Tong sold out the strawberries in the car.
He wiped his sweat, looked at the people lining up in front of him, and became a little speechless.
“Well, everyone, I’ve already sold out the goods. Why don’t you come back in the evening, I’ll go back and pick up the goods and have another meal.”
The few people who were still in line could only reluctantly nodded when they heard Zhou Tong say this.
“Okay, okay, this is really bad luck!”
Watching the people leave in twos and threes, Zhou Tong was almost done packing, and he put away the basket again and planned to go back.
Just after moving things into the car, a man stopped Zhou Tong.
Zhou Tong still remembered that it was the man in line. M..
“What’s the matter? If you want strawberries, you’ll have to wait until evening.”
“It’s not like continuing to buy strawberries.” The man said with a smile, “I’m the manager of the Runjia supermarket chain in Qingshan County. I want to ask about the strawberry business. Are you interested in talking about it?”
Zhou Tong was stunned, and a memory emerged from the depths of his mind.
Ten years later, the Runjia supermarket chain, with more than 2,000 stores across the country, was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The market value of its chain brand was once as high as more than 10 billion!
Such a behemoth of the future, unexpectedly met at this time!
Zhou Tong looked at the man in front of him with a smile on his face.
“Okay, I’m interested, but I haven’t eaten yet. If you haven’t eaten, let’s chat while eating?”
When the man heard what you said, Zhou Tong, he also smiled cheerfully and said, “Okay, I know there is a nice shop nearby, I’ll treat you!”
“That can’t be done. I remember that you bought strawberries today, which is considered to have taken care of my business.” Zhou Tong said with a smile: “If it is reasonable, it is also my invitation!”
After speaking, without waiting for the man to continue speaking, he opened the car door and got in the car and said, “Let’s go, you show the way, I’ll drive!”
“Okay!” The man smiled cheerfully, got into the co-pilot, pointed in a direction, and Zhou Tong drove the car towards the destination.
In the car, the man gave Zhou Tong a brief introduction.
This man is the manager of the Purchasing Department of Runjia Supermarket in Qingshan County, his name is Nie Zirong, and he is thirty-two years old.
But let Zhou Tong talk about it, this man looks like a young man in his twenties, he never imagined that the other party is several years older than himself.
Soon, Zhou Tong drove the truck to the place Nie Zirong said in less than ten minutes.
