Chapter 9: Greed

Indeed, relying on the experience gained from having been reborn, this past month has been smooth sailing. Not only has my reputation grown, but I have also earned a considerable amount of money, and my mindset has become increasingly inflated

In business, reputation is very important

The old man appeared indifferent, which made Wang Quan smile inwardly. If you truly had such thoughts, why did you hand over the venue to Lin Dong in your previous life?

While speaking, Lin Qingzhou fixed his gaze on the two individuals. Noticing that neither of them showed any unusual reaction, he continued, "I have been in this line of work for over ten years. Speaking from experience, I can say that the market conditions this year are not very favorable, but who can guarantee that there won't be a rebound next year"

Anyone can engage in small talk, especially Lin Dong, who has business experience; when it comes to such polite conversation, he can speak effortlessly.

Wang Quan took out a cigarette, handed one each to Lin Qingzhou and Lin Dong, and after helping to light them, he softly said: "Today we are not adjusting the goods; the main purpose is to come and discuss some matters with Boss Lin."

A few days ago, when Wang Quan came to Shangshan to transfer goods, he met Lin Qingzhou and learned that Wang Quan's transfer volume was quite large. Lin Qingzhou also chatted with Wang Quan for a while.

Lin Qingzhou muttered a few words in annoyance, just as he was about to leave after putting his phone in his pocket, he heard someone calling from behind.

I have heard that Boss Lin also has a few establishments; the current slaughter volume should be quite good, right? How do you have the time to come here?

Lin Qingzhou felt a sense of being a tiger that has fallen to the plains, damn it, after struggling and fighting in this industry for over ten years, he was unexpectedly targeted by two young newcomers

The collaboration model with Guo Jie is not suitable for public discussion; what if others misunderstand and the petty individuals take advantage of it

The anger on the man's face turned into desolation as he helplessly hung up the phone

After the conversation, Lin Qingzhou specifically inquired about Wang Quan, and after learning more, he could only express his feelings.

Xinyuan Food Co., Ltd., located in Suicheng under Shangshan City, is adjacent to the provincial road and not far from the urban area, making transportation convenient

I am not telling you this to teach you anything, but rather to inform you that your time in the industry is short. It is not necessarily good to have an easy path after entering the field. Without encountering some setbacks, you will lack a sense of reverence for the industry. The more this is the case, the greater the setbacks you will face in the future

For some unknown reason, Lin Qingzhou's mood became irritable once again. The market was poor and profits were lacking, and just recently, a shipment had been seized. Now, he was facing someone who wanted to take over his territory.

Regardless of Lin Qingzhou's true thoughts, at the very least, the attitude he is currently displaying does not suggest any intention to change hands. Upon realizing this, Wang Quan also did not wish to linger any longer

... ...

It can achieve great success for an individual in a short period, and it can also bring down a large group of people

What kind of strength do you possess? To think of snatching food from the mouths of these major contractors is no longer a mere daydream; it is simply overestimating oneself

Hello, Boss Lin

Lin Dong took a sip of tea, his face displaying a look of panic, and he quickly waved his hand, saying: "President Lin, you are overestimating us brothers. Our current shipment volume is quite stable, only about 10 tons a day, just small-scale operations."

A middle-aged man is holding a phone, looking anxious and frustrated, muttering, "Which department said that? Am I going over now? Can I make it? It's over 500 kilometers from here to Jinling. By the time I get there, it will be dark. Where am I supposed to find someone?"

What about the facts

Fortunately, I know a few high-quality clients. As long as the quality of the goods is good, they are not afraid of high prices. Thus, relying on a few high-quality clients, I have navigated this industry for over a year before finally securing my first contract.

Not only did I not earn the two thousand yuan, but I also lost several tens of thousands.

This should be Boss Lin, right? Although I have never met him, I have heard of him for a long time. You two brothers can be considered a rising force, quite impressive

Regardless of whether what he said was true or false, Wang Quan expressed admiration and agreement with his insightful remarks

Seeing Wang Quan in silence, Lin Dong thought he was feeling down because of what had just happened, and cheerfully advised, "Don't be disheartened. Being rejected is not embarrassing. When I just came out of Sanhui, I was also full of ambition, holding the sales channels in my hands, thinking that as long as I could find the source of goods, no one could stop me from making money."

In a previous life, Lin Dong took over the Xinyuan venue at the end of September, and now there are only a few days left until the end of the month. Why would Lin Qingzhou exhibit such behavior?

Or perhaps it is because of one's own rebirth that it has truly affected the course of certain events

We have agreed to assist General Manager Guo in selling the goods, and the arrangements have been finalized. Therefore, the venue for Xinlong will still be contracted by General Manager Guo

When it rains, it pours!

Alright, I hope that President Lin's judgment is correct. Such rich industry experience is indeed something that we, as brothers, lack. A week later, we will come to Shangshan, and I hope to have more opportunities to communicate and learn from President Lin at that time

Regardless of qualifications or capabilities, Lin Qingzhou is qualified to evaluate the two individuals

Yesterday, the person in charge of Xinlong contacted me, asking me to come over to discuss the matter of booking the venue, and to take the opportunity to visit you, an esteemed senior. When you were in this line of work, we were still elementary school students, so it is always beneficial to come and hear your guidance

Lin Qingzhou has been in this line of work for over ten years, having encountered various bosses and suppliers. It is indeed the first time he has met a supplier as substantial as Wang Quan

For instance, the proactive contact from Xinlong and the collaboration with Guo Jie are all events that did not occur in the previous life

What? Was it investigated? Was everything confiscated?

Upon hearing that Wang Quan was not adjusting the goods and wanted to discuss matters, Lin Qingzhou was slightly taken aback but quickly ushered the two towards the office building. After entering the office, the three of them took their seats.

Luck is truly a mysterious thing

A silent bitter smile; not long ago, I had just remarked that Guo Jie was too greedy, yet how am I any different?

Although Lin Qingzhou was quite annoyed, he did not express it directly. Instead, he pretended to be casual and said: "You two have been in this line of work for a relatively short time. The market conditions this year are not very good, but this situation has occurred more than once or twice. In 2012, the market surged, and the year after saw a complete decline. In 2016, the market surged again, followed by a stable market in 2017. The market is like this this year, which is also a pattern in the industry"

Lin Qingzhou smiled and nodded, seeing the two individuals off

On the way home, Wang Quan remained silent

Lin Qingzhou paused his movements for a moment, looked up at Wang Quan with a calm expression, and then continued to brew tea. After serving tea to the two of them, he finally said softly: "Life is tough for everyone, does Xiao Guo want to withdraw?"

Lin Dong glanced at Wang Quan, remaining silent. Wang Quan also pondered for a moment, organized his thoughts, and then finally spoke.

Wang Quan was listening quietly, and by the end, she was suddenly startled.

Lin Qingzhou brewed tea while smiling and playfully probing.

General Lin, given the current market conditions, you must be under considerable pressure, right

Sigh, forget it, just come back first

As soon as Wang Quangang spoke, Lin Qingzhou understood Wang Quan's true intentions. Well, these two were not satisfied with just transferring goods; they directly took over my venue.

Ten tons! Ten tons cannot be considered a small household; even a facility that slaughters three thousand heads a day cannot produce this much. Let us stop with the pleasantries and speak frankly; what do you wish to discuss with me?

Isn't next year just as Lin Qingzhou said, not merely a rebound, but a rhythm that aims for the heavens

This shipment is requested by a major client in the Shanghai market, consisting of five tons of goods. After deducting the transportation costs, Lin Qingzhou can barely earn over 2,000 yuan. In order to save time, he did not wait for the quarantine personnel to arrive and sent the truck directly, resulting in a tragic outcome

The middle-aged man named Lin Qingzhou is a major contractor for Xinlong. He has just received a call from the driver, informing him that the truck was inspected in Jinling. The reason is quite simple: this batch of goods did not have a quarantine certificate and was directly confiscated by the animal inspection department in Jinling

Lin Qingzhou turned around and saw two young people walking towards him, one of whom smiled and greeted him. He responded and noticed that the young man who greeted him looked somewhat familiar. After quickly recalling, he smiled and nodded, asking: "Here to pick up goods? What do you need today?"

"So why are you looking for me? Xiao Guo's venue is already quite good, is it not sufficient to meet your demand?" Lin Qingzhou deliberately feigned surprise, glancing back and forth at Wang Quan and Lin Dong.

These contractors do not care which group you come from, nor how many channels you have; they only look at the money. At the beginning, when I sourced goods from them, they treated me as a newcomer and offered me only the market selling price. At such a price point, if it were for general sourcing, it would be impossible to make a profit
