Chapter 4: Not selling even to beggars
Jiang Bin, General Miao will arrive in Yundong tonight. Is the reception work ready?
One hand held a peach, while the other reached into the pocket and pulled out a stack of money: "Look, how much can I buy, I will buy it all. Wait, I will cover your peaches, there is an ATM over there, just wait, I will go get the money"
Such peaches, even if bought, do not necessarily have to be sold; they can completely serve as a gimmick to attract customers
Ah, Brother Hong, you can't do this. What are we supposed to do if you buy all the good peaches?
Oh, you are Hong Ge?
It is bad, it must not taste good, thought the people nearby. This Brother Hong looks like a tough character, and this young man's stall should not be truly smashed by him
Young man, how is this peach grown
Did you really smash someone else's stall?
"What kind of peach?" Jiang Bin was taken aback.
... ...
In the office of the President of Xihai Group, Jiang Shengli, the Chairman of the Board and President of Xihai Group, a prominent figure in Yundong City, inquired.
At that moment, a Mercedes-Benz stopped by the roadside, and the window rolled down. Jiang Bin curiously leaned out to observe the lively scene across the street. Upon closer inspection, he noticed that those emerging from the crowded crowd, all with beaming smiles, each held one or several peaches in their hands
Go ahead and blow your trumpet; it is true that Xiantao Village has produced tribute peaches, but it has nothing to do with someone surnamed Lei
The peaches from Lei Huanxi are selling like hotcakes
Hello, do you still have any peaches for sale
Hong Ge took a bite, and all the surrounding eyes turned to him
The middle-aged man in his early forties, wearing a thick gold necklace, was amused by what Lei Huanxi said, which brought him more joy than a flurry of flattery, and he generously took out 100 coins
Young man, here is 500, please give me 5 of them
Jiang Bin and Xu Yanyan did not expect that the one selling peaches was actually Lei Huanxi. Stunned, Jiang Bin mustered his courage and said, "Um, what was it again? Is there still any peaches left? I will pay a high price."
Understood, Dad. "Jiang Bin finally put away his phone: "I guarantee it will be handled properly."
What do you understand? Jiang Shengli's expression turned serious: "Have you come back from studying abroad with your head in the clouds? Do you look down on the local folks? Your father also comes from humble beginnings, and fundamentally, you are also one of them! Director Miao's situation involves investments worth several hundred million; we cannot afford any mistakes. The current investment climate is unfavorable, and we need Director Miao's funding."
Jiang Bin and Xu Yanyan are also accustomed to good food, but it is the first time they have seen such beautiful peaches
"Not for sale?" Jiang Bin immediately understood that the other party still harbored resentment towards him. He glanced at the price on the sign: "200 each, are you selling or not?"
Where are the peaches? Have the peaches been bought?
Thank you, thank you. The little beggar has been begging nearby, and I should have known earlier that this peach is delicious. Now the peach seller actually gave it to me to eat
Watching Lei Huanxi's retreating figure, Jiang Bin was furious, and no matter how Xu Yanyan tried to persuade him, it was of no avail
What is rare, however, is that the peaches sold by this young man are not only each the size of two fists, but also have an enticing color that makes one unable to resist the urge to take a bite at first glance
Ha ha, what a coincidence! It turns out to be Jiang Bin and Xu Yanyan
Hong Ge has developed a certain fondness for this particularly sweet-tongued young man. In the late autumn season, such large peaches may not necessarily taste good, but considering this young man's exceptional eloquence, it will suffice to teach him a lesson when the time comes
Jiang Shengli shook his head repeatedly: "Details determine success or failure. The more we can let him enjoy it during the off-season, the more favorable he will feel towards us. Hurry, you must drive to Zhunan yourself. There are still late peaches available; you must personally taste them. Don't worry about the price, you must return before dinner."
Oh dear, sir, I apologize, but this peach is too expensive for me to offer you a free taste. It's only 100 yuan, after all. What can you do with 100 yuan these days? A meal at a restaurant costs several hundred. Look at that thick chain around your neck; do you really care about this little amount? Why not buy one to try? If it's delicious, you can praise it. If it's not, you can smash my stall.
What a big peach! Jiang Bin's eyes lit up; wasn't he here precisely for the peach?
"I don't know you." Lei Huanxi said with a smile as he accepted the money, "Isn't this just a way to get closer to you?"
In an instant, the people nearby rushed forward, eagerly pulling out their money to frantically purchase peaches
In the town of Zhu Nan, a group of peach vendors gathered around a small three-wheeled cart
Not for sale
Hurry and get off the car with Xu Yanyan, grabbing hold of someone who had just bought two peaches and squeezed out: "Hey, how are these peaches?"
The tricycle owner is a young man who sells peaches. By late autumn, the peaches are already late-season varieties, which not only have poor taste but also an unappealing appearance. Generally, peach merchants who purchase such peaches must undergo special processing before they can find a market.
The little beggar hurriedly approached and looked at the other person timidly
Ah, I understand, Dad
Brother Hong has been in the peach business here for a long time, and since he has confirmed it, there is absolutely no mistake. This made the scene lively.
As a mouthful of peach juice entered his mouth, Hong Ge remained silent for a while
"Those who are not careful with their words are unreliable in their actions." Jiang Shengli was somewhat anxious: "I reminded you repeatedly that Director Miao has no other hobbies; he simply enjoys eating peaches. When he was doing business in Zhunan, he loved the local specialty, the honey peaches. Yun Dong is only an hour's journey to Zhunan; wouldn't he be thinking about the peaches? Playing on your phone, playing on your phone, all you know is to play on your phone!"
So familiar
Young man, I have been doing business in Zhu Nan for so many years, but I have never seen you before
A commanding voice sounded
"Oh dear, Dad, I just remembered, I really forgot about it," Jiang Bin exclaimed, slapping his forehead. "But it's not the season for peaches now, and besides, a big boss like him wouldn't care about such things, would he?"
At that moment, the phone rang. Jiang Bin answered the call: "Yanyan, I am going to buy peaches... What? Why buy peaches? Let's talk about it when we meet... Alright, wait for me in the lobby downstairs..."
"Lei Huanxi, it's 500 each. " Xu Yanyan also began to persuade: "Isn't it just that they fired you and gave you a beating? In the blink of an eye, you could have 1500 in hand."
What a large and beautiful peach
Just then, a little beggar was watching eagerly from the side. Lei Huanxi's eyes turned, and he waved his hand at him.
"Don't eat it." Jiang Bin felt a pang of heartache, with only three left. Gritting his teeth, he said: "500 each, shall we sell them?"
"Do you know me?" Hong Ge was taken aback.
However, Lei Huanxi continued to speak slowly, saying: "Someone offered 500, so I sold it, but you? You did not sell!"
Jiang Bin took out his wallet and said, "I'll cover everything."
Indeed. Lei Huanxi magically produced four peaches.
Brother Hong is anxious: "Young man, young man, I have at least two thousand in there, 20 of them, I want 20 of them"
Dad, rest assured, everything is ready, it won't delay anything. "Jiang Bin said casually while playing with his phone, "It's just a General Miao, a country bumpkin who got rich from the coal mining business, do you really need to be so concerned?"
It was finally a bit calmer, so I took out my phone and dialed a number: "Gu Biao? Bring someone to Zhu Nan immediately, help me with something!"
Lei Huanxi raised his head, and their six eyes met.
"Not for sale." Lei Huanxi picked up a peach and took a big bite out of it.
Isn't it just 100 yuan? Who doesn't have that? Let's share a bit and bring it back to make samples to attract all the customers to the store
Little did anyone know, Hong Ge immediately started to munch away, his mouth full of juice, and in the blink of an eye, more than half of such a large peach had made its way into his stomach, all the while eating and mumbling indistinctly
... ...
Your family member Huanxi has resigned on his own. Lei Huanxi said slowly: "500 each, that's a good price"
Although there are only four, it doesn't matter; seeing such large and beautiful peaches will surely be appreciated
"Peaches, heavenly peaches, delicious." Lei Huanxi smiled as he placed the remaining three peaches into a plastic bag and handed it to the little beggar: "Here, for you to eat"
100 yuan? 100 yuan for a peach is too expensive, isn't it? Heavenly Court's Pan Tao? You really dare to call it that.
"My family didn't used to have the surname Lei; I can't tell you what it was. " Lei Huanxi boasted without batting an eye: "After the Empress Dowager passed away, we changed our surname to avoid disaster. Now, I'm waiting to get married, but I have no money, and the girl won't agree. What can I do? My father picked up the family trade and is selling peaches to fund my wedding."
With a cheerful smile, Lei Huanxi said: "Uncles and aunts, older brothers and sisters, can you see clearly? Have you ever seen such a large peach? Have you ever seen peaches that look this good? This heavenly garden is just a metaphor; such big ones can only be seen in movies and television, right? My surname is Lei, from Peach Village. My grandfather is an old peach farmer. This peach is cultivated using a special method passed down through my family for generations, and it was once supplied to the emperor. Hey, it's true! I'm not bragging; my family has been growing peaches for several generations to honor the Empress Dowager... This peach is cultivated using a special method passed down through my family for generations, and it was once supplied to the emperor. Hey, it's true! I'm not bragging; my family has been growing peaches for several generations to honor the Empress Dowager..."
Jiang Bin's eyes blazed with anger: "You would rather give it to a beggar than sell it to me?"
Delicious, so delicious, I have never eaten such delicious peaches in my entire life.
The plastic bag disappeared in an instant, as if fearing that Lei Huanxi might have a change of heart, leaving no trace behind.
Young man, do not speak so boastfully. Peaches cannot be grown in just a day or two. Moreover, while these peaches are large and have a beautiful color, who knows if they taste good or not? You need to let us taste them to find out.
A cart of peaches, totaling 104, was sold out quickly
... ...
"I like which beggar, I hate you." Lei Huanxi, either cheerful or smiling, stepped onto that small tricycle: "Jiang Shao, in my heart, you are not even as good as a beggar! Today is really happy, truly happy."
Do you want to play? You, a poor boy, want to play with Young Master Jiang of Xihai Group?
Heavenly Garden Peaches, rare and exquisite products, limited quantity, available while supplies last. Each peach is priced at 100 yuan, no bargaining accepted
Well, the young man truly did not boast; in all my years in the fruit business, I have never seen such good peaches
The curious peach merchants chattered incessantly, asking questions non-stop. Firstly, these peaches are indeed quite rare, and secondly, the price is somewhat outrageous.
There are only 4 peaches left, and Lei Huanxi has hidden them at the bottom of the basket, refusing to sell them no matter what. He has not eaten a single bite or drunk a drop of water until now, so he might as well keep something for himself
Hmph, you poor boy, isn't 1500 enough to dazzle your eyes? Jiang Bin couldn't help but sneer inwardly
Those peach merchants were reluctant to part ways, asking Lei Huanxi for his phone number and home address, and they agreed in advance that when the peach season arrives next year, they would prioritize selling to them, and only then did they reluctantly disperse
"Isn't it just 100? I'm in! I must say, if it doesn't taste good, I will really ruin your stall! I've been a peach vendor in Zhu'nan for almost ten years, and everyone knows my temper."
