Boss Lin excitedly took his phone to the villa's courtyard to make a call, while Doctor Huang led Boss Lin's other subordinates to tidy up and package all the caterpillar fungus.
After a while, Boss Lin walked back to the living room with a gloomy expression.
Xia Ruofei was slightly stunned when he saw this and asked, "Boss Lin, what's wrong? Did things not go well? "
Boss Lin quickly forced a smile and said, "No, no! But Brother Xia, our deal may have to be delayed for another day. The headquarters will send someone to follow up on it personally! "
Boss Lin was also quite depressed. The headquarters said that they had to show that such a big deal was important, so they specially sent a manager to fly to the three mountains today. In fact, Boss Lin knew that they might want to take advantage of the situation.
This deal was completely negotiated with his own connections. If it weren't for his good personal relationship with Xia Ruofei, would there be no need to worry about the sales of such high-quality caterpillar fungus?
Now, this performance was too eye-catching, so eye-catching that it made people jealous. Even with Boss Lin's current foundation, he was somewhat powerless.
"What's the situation?" Xia Ruofei frowned slightly.
Boss Lin sighed and said, "Brother Xia, the headquarters also attached more importance to this deal, so they sent someone over."
Boss Lin was too embarrassed to mention the bullsh * t inside the company's internal affairs in front of Xia Ruofei. After all, dirty linen should not be aired in public.
However, Xia Ruofei was no longer a greenhorn. His ability to observe people's expressions had improved greatly in the past year. Seeing Boss Lin like a frosted eggplant, how could he not guess the secret behind it?
Xia Ruofei thought for a moment, then said with a smile, "Boss Lin, then you can rest at our place for a day! We're old friends, so just treat this as your home! "
He then turned to Feng Jing and said, "Manager Feng, get the administrative department to prepare the guest rooms. Boss Lin and the rest will be staying at the farm tonight!"
Boss Lin quickly said, "Brother Xia, there's no need to go through so much trouble … Let's just stay in a hotel in the city!"
"It's an hour's drive to and fro! What's the point? "Xia Ruofei said." Just stay on the farm! The environment here is much better than the city! "
Boss Lin's heart warmed as he said, "Alright, I'll listen to you …"
"Then go and rest in the afternoon! Taking the plane is already tiring enough, and then rushing to the farm without stopping to work, they must be exhausted! "Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
"Alright, thank you, Brother Xia!" Boss Lin said. "Then you should rest for a while too. We won't disturb you any further …"
Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded.
Boss Lin looked unwillingly at the three boxes of top-grade caterpillar fungus on the coffee table, then turned and walked out of the villa.
Xia Ruofei personally walked him to the gate of the courtyard, and only returned to the villa when Boss Lin and the rest were far away.
Xia Ruofei put the caterpillar fungus back into the Ring-Tu space, then smiled and shook his head helplessly.
This was considered as the road to happiness being strewn with setbacks!
However, Xia Ruofei wasn't worried. There was no need to worry about not being able to sell such good caterpillar fungus. Even if there weren't many buyers who had the ability to buy all of it, they could still sell it slowly.
If there really wasn't enough money to buy it, he could just transfer the money from his overseas account. As long as he did it a day in advance, the money would arrive very quickly.
Xia Ruofei didn't go to the company in the afternoon. After taking a nap, he got up and went downstairs. He sat on the deck chair in the courtyard, held a book, made a pot of tea, and leisurely spent time under the winter sun. Little Hei and the rest were also happily playing around by Xia Ruofei's feet. The scene was very harmonious and warm.
When it was almost five o 'clock in the afternoon, Xia Ruofei received a call from Liu Qian.
As Xia Ruofei didn't often work in the company, the administrative department wanted to assign an assistant to him several times, but he rejected them all. Usually, Liu Qian was in charge of everything, which was equivalent to him sharing an assistant with Feng Jing.
"Chairman, the people from the headquarters of Tong Ren Tang have arrived." Liu Qian said, "They came directly to the farm after getting off the plane …"
Xia Ruofei wasn't familiar with the people from the headquarters of Tong Ren Tang, and he was a little unhappy that the deal was suspended. Xia Ruofei naturally didn't believe the so-called "importance" and the like, so he pretended to be confused and didn't arrange for anyone to pick them up at the airport.
Xia Ruofei said in his heart, "They are quite impatient …"
He asked faintly, "Why are they here so late at night? The company is about to get off work, right? "
Liu Qian said, "They want to talk to you about buying caterpillar fungus as soon as possible."
"Just tell them that I'm not at the farm, and the company is about to get off work. If there's anything, we can talk about it tomorrow!" Xia Ruofei said with a slight frown.
"Okay!" Liu Qian hesitated again and asked, "About the food and accommodation of these two people …"
"Are there any vacant rooms in the company's guest house?" Xia Ruofei asked.
"No!" Liu Qian said, "Boss Lin came with six people this time, and we don't have many rooms in the guest house …"
"Then isn't it settled?" Xia Ruofei said, "You don't have to take the initiative to arrange for them. Tong Ren Tang is such a big family business, can't they afford a few travel expenses?"
"Understood!" Liu Qian said quickly.
After hanging up the phone, Xia Ruofei didn't care. He directly put the phone on the stone table next to him, and then picked up the book to read.
…
Chen Shun, the purchasing manager of the headquarters of Tong Ren Tang, was in a very bad mood at this time.
At noon, Vice President Lin of Huadong District called the vice president of the headquarters of the chain in charge of Huadong District to report that there was a batch of best quality caterpillar fungus to purchase and he wanted to apply for permission.
This vice president was Chen Shun's second uncle, Chen Weinan. He had a deep impression of Vice President Lin in Huadong District. Originally, he was just a store manager, but he was lucky enough to purchase wild old ginseng continuously. Later, he opened up his own channel and was able to purchase high-quality Iron maple bucket for Tong Ren Tang every month. Therefore, he was discovered by the head of the headquarters of the chain and was smoothly promoted.
When Chen Weinan heard that Vice President Lin had found the best quality caterpillar fungus that was more valuable than the Iron maple bucket and had better sales, his heart moved slightly, so he asked about the source.
Sure enough, as he guessed, it was still from the Taoyuan Company in Sanshan.
Chen Weinan was immediately tempted. This was an achievement that would make anyone jealous! His nephew, Chen Shun, had been in the purchasing manager position for a long time. This time, there was a vacancy for the vice president of the purchasing department, and there were six or seven managers in the purchasing department who met the conditions for promotion. If Chen Shun could get such a big order, coupled with his own help, then Chen Shun's promotion would be logical.
Therefore, Chen Weinan immediately stopped the transaction, saying that with such a large purchase and such a large transaction amount, he needed the headquarters of the chain to send someone to preside over and purchase in the name of the headquarters of the chain. Then, this batch of goods would be distributed to various districts. The implication was that Huadong District could not be monopolized.
In this way, Chen Shun was urgently sent to Sanshan.
Before departure, Chen Weinan specifically instructed Chen Shun in person, emphasizing the importance of this purchase many times.
That was because his nephew was really not presentable. His ability level was average, but he was good at eating, drinking, and having fun. If it wasn't for his protection, not to mention being a purchasing manager, he might not even be able to become an ordinary purchasing specialist. If things went wrong, he might be kicked out of the company after a few days.
After hearing this, Chen Shun was overjoyed. It was as if he could see the position of vice president of the purchasing department waving at him.
He didn't understand those profound questions, and he didn't want to understand. Anyway, he just remembered what his uncle said. Try your best to get this big order!
Chen Shun, with such an urgent mood, brought along an experienced purchasing specialist and boarded the flight to Sanshan.
When the plane landed in Sanshan, it was already past four in the afternoon. He directly took a taxi at the airport and went straight to Taoyuan Farm.
He didn't expect that when he arrived at the farm, he would be received by a female assistant in her twenties. After a few phone calls, she told him that the chairman of the Taoyuan Company had gone out and that today's meeting was not possible.
He thought that even if today's meeting was not possible, the Taoyuan Company would at least arrange for food and accommodation, right?
He didn't expect that after saying that, the female assistant would shut her mouth and never mention this matter again.
Chen Shun was extremely depressed. He felt that the Taoyuan Company didn't know how to treat their guests. He was here to buy, a god of wealth! Even if they didn't treat him like a guest of honor, they still needed the basic security, right?
However, they pretended to be confused. As a man from Beijing, Chen Shun couldn't shamelessly take the initiative to mention it. He could only dejectedly leave the farm with his people.
When he arrived at the entrance of the farm, Chen Shun realized that something was wrong.
This farm was located in the suburbs. It took a long time to walk from the entrance of the farm to the national highway outside, and it was difficult to get a taxi on the national highway.
Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, Chen Shun's mood was extremely bad.
He took out his phone with a gloomy face, found Boss Lin's number, and dialed it.
The phone rang a few times before Boss Lin picked it up. He said indifferently, "Manager Chen, do you have any instructions?"
"Vice President Lin, we are now at the entrance of Taoyuan Farm. We can't get a taxi to go to the city right now. Get someone to call a taxi to pick us up!" Chen Shun said in a commanding tone.
Boss Lin could also hear the resentment in Chen Shun's voice. However, he almost laughed out loud.
It seemed that this Manager Chen from Beijing had already been to Taoyuan Farm, but he was rejected.
Brother Xia was really generous! Boss Lin said in his heart.
Boss Lin controlled his emotions and said coldly, "Manager Chen, I'm sorry, but we don't live in the city …"
"Then where do you live?" Chen Shun blurted out.
Boss Lin said in a matter-of-fact tone, "Of course we live in Taoyuan Farm!"
"You …" Chen Shun didn't expect Boss Lin to live in Taoyuan Farm.
He said in his heart, "This is ridiculous! They treated us with good food and drinks, but I didn't even get a cup of hot tea when I came over! It's getting dark and they didn't even arrange for us to stay! "
"Is there anything else, Manager Chen? If there's nothing else, I'll hang up first. Chairman Xia wants to have a meal with me! "Boss Lin said.
Then, he hung up the phone without waiting for Chen Shun to speak.
Chen Shun was so angry that he almost threw his phone away. The purchasing agent who came with him stood to the side, trembling in fear. He didn't dare to provoke him.
Chen Shun said in a bad mood, "What are you standing there for? Let's walk out and get a taxi on the national highway! "
After saying that, he strode forward. The purchasing agent could only drag their suitcases bitterly and quickly follow him.
The two walked for half a day and arrived at the national highway when the sky was completely dark.
Then, they stopped cars for half an hour in the cold wind. Finally, they were lucky enough to find an empty taxi returning to the city. Only then did they get on the taxi and return to the city.
After getting a room in Sanshan City and moving in, Chen Shun's resentment hadn't dissipated. He decided that when he discussed the specific terms of the acquisition tomorrow, he would properly control the Taoyuan Company.
If a tiger doesn't show its might, it's a sick cat! Chen Shun said bitterly in his heart.
At this time, he had already forgotten his uncle Chen Weinan's advice.
…
The next morning, after a few twists and turns, Chen Shun finally met the chairman of the Taoyuan Company, Xia Ruofei. At the same time, he also met Boss Lin and the others.
Chen Shun didn't give Boss Lin a good look. Boss Lin also didn't want to pretend to be polite with this person who was obviously here to pick the fruits of his labor. Therefore, the air in the conference room seemed to have a trace of gunpowder.
It wasn't until Xia Ruofei walked into the conference room that the frozen air seemed to flow again.
Feng Jing felt that the atmosphere in the conference room was very oppressive. After Xia Ruofei came in, she quickly introduced, "Chairman, this is Manager Chen Shun from the purchasing department of the Tong Ren Tang chain. Manager Chen, this is our chairman, Mr. Xia Ruofei."
Xia Ruofei nodded lightly and said, "Nice to meet you, Manager Chen."
Chen Shun nodded to Xia Ruofei with a fake smile, and then said, "Boss Xia, I'm here on behalf of the Tong Ren Tang chain to talk to you about the acquisition of caterpillar fungus. According to the report of Huadong District's Vice President Lin, your company has a batch of good quality caterpillar fungus. We are quite interested in high-end Chinese herbs, but before talking about the acquisition, I want to check the goods first. "
Xia Ruofei sat down in his seat, frowned slightly and said, "Boss Lin has already checked this batch of caterpillar fungus yesterday with a professional appraiser."
"Vice President Lin has seen it, but I haven't!" Chen Shun said, "Our Tong Ren Tang chain has a set of very strict procedures for this kind of acquisition involving a large amount of money. Boss Xia, please understand."
Xia Ruofei pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay!"
Although Chen Shun looked like he was asking for a beating, Xia Ruofei still wanted to sell this batch of caterpillar fungus as soon as possible. Since he wanted to see it, then let him see it. It wouldn't waste any time anyway.
Xia Ruofei waved to Liu Qian, and Liu Qian quickly put down her pen and walked over.
Xia Ruofei took out the office key and handed it to Liu Qian, saying, "Go to the administrative department and find a few young and strong guys to move the three big cardboard boxes behind my desk here. Tell them to be careful and don't bump them."
"Yes!" Liu Qian said, then took the key and left quickly.
