My courtyard shelter

At half past eleven, Father Xu and Ma Jun arrived at the guest house of Qixing Xiachuang Electronics as agreed. read

As the food problem becomes increasingly tense, almost 99% of the restaurants on the market have collapsed. The remaining ones that are still in business have more or less official backgrounds.

Similar guest houses are very common these days. They are usually affiliated with giant companies and exclusively serve the companies or institutions they belong to.

Manager Yuan of Qixing Xiachuang looks very young, only in his thirties, but he is very humble. After receiving the call, he went to the door to greet Father Xu in person.

"Mr. Xu and Manager Ma, please come inside."

"Director Yuan, you are too polite." Father Xu was a little flattered.

When they arrived at the private room, Manager Yuan arranged for the waiters to serve the dishes.

In order to comply with the frugal spirit of the superiors, no food can be ordered in the guest house. The chefs in the cafeteria cook large pots of food and serve whatever is available.

"The management from above is strict. You are not allowed to drink. Please forgive me." Manager Yuan apologized.

Father Xu waved his hand: "It's better if you don't drink. Everyone has to work in the afternoon. Drinking will ruin things."

After exchanging a few words, the food was served.

There are four dishes and one soup in total, one is half-vegetarian shredded garlic pork, the other three are vegetables, and the soup is seaweed and egg soup. The portions are quite generous.

The three of them drank tea instead of wine, drank several rounds with each other, and finally got down to business.

Manager Yuan put down his chopsticks and said solemnly:

"Mr. Xu, our company has recently received a large order from the city, and there is a lot of demand for electronic components.

If we rely solely on production, it will definitely be too late, so I would like to purchase a batch of second-hand electronic components from your company. "

There is another important reason, that is, many electronic components in Daxia are highly dependent on imports. Under the current circumstances, counting on imports is tantamount to fishing for the moon in the water.

Father Xu did not speak in a hurry. Instead, Ma Jun intervened:

"Director Yuan, I would like to ask, how do you know about our company? After all, a small company like ours doesn't have much visibility at all."

"It's simple. I found out about your company from Boss Yao of Xinke Computer City.

Don't belittle yourselves, both of you. Although your company is small, your shipment volume is quite large! "Supervisor Yuan replied.

"Director Yuan, you are overly complimentary. We can only make a small fuss at most." Father Xu said modestly.

Manager Yuan took a sip of tea and got straight to the point: "Mr. Xu, let's open the skylight and speak frankly. What do you mean here? Are you willing to cooperate with our company?"

"Of course we are willing to cooperate." Father Xu quickly expressed his stance.

Ma Jun then asked: "I wonder what electronic components your company needs?"

"Everything, no matter how much goods you have, our company can eat them." Manager Yuan said domineeringly.

Father Xu couldn't help but feel shocked. It was indeed a big company, and its actions were extraordinary.

"What about the price?" Ma Jun remained calm.

Manager Yuan calmly took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Father Xu.

Father Xu took it and read it roughly, his expression immediately became solemn, and then handed the document to Ma Jun.

Ma Jun almost jumped up after seeing it: "Director Yuan, aren't your prices too low?"

If they follow the price given by the other party, then their company will basically be working in vain, which is too bullying.

"Our company is willing to sign a long-term contract with no limit." Manager Yuan drew the big picture.

Father Xu shook his head and said: "Director Yuan, the price is really bad. You eat meat, but at least let us drink some soup!"

"The price is set by the above, I have no right to change it, but you can think of your own ways to reduce the cost as much as possible. After all, we want a large quantity, so there is still a lot of room for maneuver."

Manager Yuan always refused to give in.

Father Xu and Ma Jun discussed it privately, but still couldn't make up their minds.

Ma Jun thought for a while and asked: "Director Yuan, you said before that your company received a big order from the city. Can I ask what the order is?"

"It's okay to tell you this. The city is building a number of plant factories in the eastern suburbs, with a total area of ​​100,000 acres. All electronic equipment inside will be provided by our company."

"What does this plant factory produce?" This is the first time Father Xu has heard of this kind of factory.

Director Yuan specially introduced: "The so-called plant factory is to move the farm indoors. After all, the current climate is characterized by drought and water shortage, and the large temperature difference between day and night. Outdoors are no longer suitable for growing crops."

"Isn't that just a vegetable greenhouse?" Father Xu said with enlightenment.

Manager Yuan nodded:

“It should be said that it is an upgraded version of the vegetable greenhouse.

The plant factory uses artificial light sources and soilless cultivation technology, and the production process is all intelligently controlled by computers, which is much more advanced than vegetable greenhouses. "

"Is farming so advanced now?" Father Xu asked in surprise.

I have always heard that agriculture on the other side of the ocean is very developed, but I didn’t expect that the country would not show off too much!

"It is very advanced, but its shortcomings are also huge. Its cultivation cost is too high. If it were not forced by the situation, it would probably take many years to be popularized." Manager Yuan sighed.

Ma Jun tentatively asked, "This project shouldn't be small, right?"

"It's not small. Although the plant factory only has 100,000 acres, it has a multi-layer structure and high planting density. It can grow at least one million acres of crops.

Think about it, how much electronic equipment is needed for such a large area? "

Ma Jun swallowed unconsciously.

It is indeed a big project. One million mu is equivalent to more than 600 square kilometers, which is only slightly smaller than the area within the fifth ring road of the capital.

"Manager Yuan, when will this 100,000 mu project be completed?" Xu's father asked.

The project is useless. If time is tight, with the size of his own company, he can't grab many orders.

As for signing a long-term contract, just listen. They are a big company. If necessary, they can find a hundred reasons to break the contract.

"The whole project will last for 18 months. It started in June this year and will probably be completed by the end of next year."

After thinking about it, Manager Yuan added:

"Don't worry, there are many similar projects in other cities. Our company will not lack orders for at least two or three years."

Xu's father was finally moved. This is a blue ocean. Anyone who sees it will be excited.

"I have brought the contract. If you sign it today, you can ship to our company tomorrow." Manager Yuan tempted.

Dad Xu took the contract and flipped through it. The contract period was three years, which was not as exaggerated as the other party said, but the content was similar to what the other party said.

Without Ma Jun's reminder, Dad Xu consciously suppressed the intention of signing the contract immediately: "Manager Yuan, this matter is very big, we need to go back and discuss it."

"No problem, but I hope you can reply to me as soon as possible. Our company has other procurement channels. If the order is full, then I can only say sorry."
