Adventurer of the Elf World
Chapter 153 Human Relationships
Xiu had a chat with this old man, so it was no wonder he had such a reaction.
The whole village raised money to buy his car, which means he is just the driver.
Basically, it takes him ten days and a half to collect a cart full of the village's specialties and he has to make a trip to deliver the goods to Joban City.
Most of the goods on the car are fruits and vegetables. In order to ensure freshness, they pick these goods at four or five in the morning and then deliver them here immediately.
And they also have agreements with several sellers in Joban City, and usually just pull them over.
Cooperation was good in the past, but something unexpected happened today. Those sellers suddenly stopped accepting their goods.
What made him even more uncomfortable was that today was a celebration, so in order to cater to the festival, there were not only fruits and vegetables on the car, but also some flowers. These flowers were picked by the villagers from the forest. Needless to say, it took a lot of effort.
It's just that this routine has been going on for many years, and suddenly something went wrong today. What should he do?
"Have you signed contracts with those sellers?"
"No, it's all a verbal agreement, and our products have been very popular in the past, so there's no shortage of them."
"Didn't those sellers say why they didn't accept it? There must be another reason, right?"
The middle-aged man shook his head slowly and said with a bitter look on his face: "They said there was something wrong with the goods and they wouldn't accept them there."
Just saying that, he added with an unwilling face: "We all picked it at three or four in the morning to ensure the freshness. Even though we had to walk several villages and towns and such a long distance, I was only four or five feet away from the tree when I transported it. How come it’s not fresh after a few hours?”
Xiu felt a little strange when he heard this. He felt that he was being tricked, so he asked tentatively.
“Are they asking you to lower your prices?”
"No, they just don't accept the goods." The middle-aged man said with a bitter look on his face: "And there is a batch of flowers inside. The temperature in the car is so high, they will really wither if you put them down..."
Thinking of those words just now, Xiu calmly stated his understanding.
"They want to force you to lower the price. They don't need to take the initiative. As long as they delay, you have to find it yourself.
They should know that the flowers on the car cannot be left for a long time. After all, fruits and vegetables can be taken to other places for sale, but flowers cannot be taken to other places for sale. "
Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man's face became even more ugly when he heard Xiu's words, and he added:
“Usually, fruits and vegetables can be transported to other big cities for purchase, because for transportation and storage, we always harvest the fruits some time in advance.
However, in order to cater to the celebration, most of the fruits in today's goods are in a state of ripeness and are not resistant to storage or transportation. They can only be sold here in Joban City. If they are sent to other places, The losses along the way will lead to losses, not to mention that the other party will definitely lower the price when they see it. "
"It seems that they have decided to take over you..." Xiu was a little helpless about this situation and whispered:
"As long as you accept the price cut and take a step back, they will kill the price and won't raise it back to you in the future. They will even continue to push the price back. After all, they have already occupied the market, unless you can get out of Joban City. , but you are around Joban City, can you jump out~"
Xiu's words were quite tactful, but in the ears of the middle-aged man, his thoughts were churning and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
"But what can we do? These goods have to be sold so that we can have income to support our lives..."
Xiu seemed a little uncomfortable listening to his helpless words. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Ignore it for now. Let's find a way to deal with some of this truck's cargo. At least it can't be left here."
"How to deal with it?" The middle-aged man looked up at Xiu.
"There are so many stalls, why can't we set up stalls? They are all selling anyway, so if they can sell, we can't?"
"It really doesn't work~" The middle-aged man looked at Xiu Xiu dimly, and after sighing lowly, he explained: "You are an outsider, but you don't know that those stalls actually have numbers and regulations, and they are not random. To put it out, you need to register in advance..."
Xiu Ke had no intention of dragging him on, and chuckled softly: "Do you still have a choice? It's better to sell part of it and recover the funds while taking advantage of the excitement, than to get nothing at all, right?"
The middle-aged man looked hesitant, but Xiu stood up confidently and said casually: "Show me those goods. If there are no problems, maybe I can get a permit for you."
"Okay." The middle-aged man also knew his situation and knew that this was his path, unless he wanted to bow to those merchants.
As soon as the carriage opened, Xiu smelled a strong fragrance, which was a combination of fruity and floral, even a little heady.
After the car door was fully opened, Xiu saw all kinds of strange things, including flowers and various fruits. Xiu also found some tree fruits, various materials, etc.
This thing looks like IWC brand goods, so it’s no wonder.
These things are so messy that it’s really troublesome to apply.
Xiu Xiu got into the car and did a brief inspection. After confirming that there was no contraband in the car, he got out of the car and said:
"Come on, take me to the square."
At this time, the middle-aged man could only follow Xiu's words and drive there.
…………
The management office is quite simple, just an event tent with two tables put together and some leaflets posted on the side.
Xiu walked into the management office and found that there was only one person on duty.
"Sister!"
"Why are you here? What's the matter?" The young lady was a little surprised by Xiu's appearance, and also noticed the middle-aged man next to Xiu.
"It's like this, I just met a person who had some problems on the road and just rushed to Changpan City, and then..."
Xiu slightly changed the word order and described the middle-aged man's situation as missing an appointment due to lateness, which resulted in the inability to set up a stall.
Now let's make up for it.
"Oh, this is simple." The young lady glanced at Xiu, then turned to the middle-aged man, "Take me to see it, just register."
After saying that, she picked up the registration book and pen at hand and stood up.
The middle-aged man was also a little surprised. It was not his first time to Changpan City. The management application for this stall was very troublesome, and it was not a situation that could be solved with just one sentence.
Sensing the reaction of the middle-aged man, Xiu casually reminded him.
"Let's go."
"Oh!" The middle-aged man immediately reacted, bent his back and smiled as he led the way outside, "Here."
Looking at him, Xiu could only purse his lips helplessly and followed them out.
The car door opened, and the young lady asked the middle-aged man questions while writing something on her hand. After the questioning, she got in the car and checked the cargo in person. She was not as relaxed as she said just now.
