Chapter 145 Another Big Customer
Seeing Lin Qingyan looking at her in confusion, Ms. Wu smiled and said to her, "Girl, it's nothing serious. Didn't you send us some vegetables last time?"
Lin Qingyan then remembered that she had once sent them a basket of vegetables to express her gratitude.
So I smiled and asked, "Auntie, is there any problem with vegetables?"
"It's like this, my son and his wife came back to visit us with their grandson that day, and the vegetables you sent were quite fresh, so we used them.
Unexpectedly, my picky grandson ate a lot that day, and was not happy when there were no more vegetables left. He didn’t like to eat other vegetables that we bought later.
My daughter-in-law had no choice but to come to us again to find a solution. Your uncle and I have been wandering around outside recently, just to see if we could run into you. Fortunately, we did today."
After Ms. Wu finished speaking, Lin Qingyan felt a little embarrassed. She thought about it and said to Ms. Wu
"Aunt, the vegetables I sent you last time were grown by my family. I just cooperated with a store and currently supply them to that store. The quantity of vegetables grown is not large, so I can only barely supply them to the store. How about letting your daughter-in-law go to the store to buy them directly?"
Lin Qingyan directly sent the store name and address to Ms. Wu.
Ms. Wu thought it was just a normal store and didn't pay much attention to it, so she said to Lin Qingyan: "Okay, just know where to buy it. Thank you for your help, girl."
Lin Qingyan waved her hand quickly, "You're welcome, Auntie. You can tell your daughter-in-law that the store has limited quantities of the products."
After Ms. Wu got the store address, she was no longer in a hurry. She thought that she could still buy vegetables even if the quantity was limited. So she said a few polite words to Lin Qingyan, and then they each left.
Lin Qingyan returned to the educated youth point, had dinner, met with Ye Yi, discussed the study progress, went back to the room, closed the door, and entered the space to work again.
He planted crop after crop in the space until the fresh-keeping room was full. He also sorted out the vegetables and fruits to be sent to the store tomorrow, as well as the peaches to be given to Zhou Lei, before going out to rest.
Early the next morning, Lin Qingyan rode her tricycle to the store, opened the door and moved the vegetables and fruits into the store. At this time, Zhou Limei was still at home preparing food for Tongtong.
She didn't wait for Zhou Limei, and placed the fruits and vegetables on the shelves by herself.
By the time Zhou Limei sent Tongtong over, Lin Qingyan had already tidied up the shop.
"Qingyan, don't come so early next time. Come back at 8 o'clock. I can tidy up by myself then. You can go back to your work. Planting vegetables is a big deal."
Zhou Limei quickly pulled her over and let her rest.
"It's okay, Sister Zhou. I get up early every morning, so I come early."
"Then since you came early, you can go upstairs and rest. Don't stay downstairs. If they come early, it will be bad if we don't sell to them."
Zhou Limei thought about how the group was so busy yesterday, and she was a little worried that those people would come early in the morning if they knew that Lin Qingyan arrived at the store at around 7 o'clock every day.
Before the two of them had said a few words, someone else had arrived. Zhou Limei had just greeted the first person when several more arrived.
So Lin Qingyan was forced to sit at the cashier counter and started collecting money and registering reservations. Before 10 o'clock today, the store was sold out again.
There were still a few women who didn't buy it and they started to make trouble for Zhou Limei.
"Tongtong's mom, we didn't buy any vegetables, and the children at home are waiting to eat."
"That's right, Tongtong's mother, please think of a way to get some more."
Zhou Limei explained with a smile, "I want to get more than you do. It makes no sense not to sell something. Besides, these are vegetables and they can't be kept for a long time.
They must have brought in everything that can be sold. The production capacity is really not enough. This kind of product simply cannot be produced on a large scale.”
"Then you have to think of a solution. We won't be able to buy it like this. This won't work." A woman said directly in dissatisfaction.
Zhou Limei glanced at her and explained with a smile,
"Sisters, our production capacity is really limited. How about this, can you guys reserve vegetables for tomorrow? Currently, only fruits are reserved, and no one has reserved vegetables yet."
The woman's eyes lit up. "Pre-order, sure. I want to order ten kilograms."
Zhou Limei waved her hands quickly, "Sister, you ordered 20 kilograms today, but others didn't buy it. Tomorrow they agreed to buy kilograms, or even bought it all. Then even more people won't be able to buy it.
Do you think this is okay? We will set up a reservation plan later and send it to the group first. If you need to make a reservation, just follow the request. Do you think this is okay? "
"That won't work. You have to at least let me buy the food tomorrow. You have to make a reservation for us today."
The woman disagreed with Zhou Limei's statement and kept pestering her.
Lin Qingyan came over from the cashier counter and said to her:
"Sister, how about this? We have more than ten kinds of vegetables. Which ones do you want? Today, we will give you one pound of each. You choose ten pounds, and tomorrow we will follow our reservation rules.
After all, there are too few things to satisfy everyone, so we can only rely on rules to restrict them. This will be fairer to everyone. Do you think it's okay?"
The woman didn't want to pay attention to Lin Qingyan at first, but after hearing what she said, she thought about it and agreed.
The special characteristics of this vegetable have been explained in the test report. The other party really doesn't have it, and it's useless for her to pester him. She might as well get some back first.
"Okay, let's do as you say, young lady, and register our reservation first." The woman took the other two people and followed Lin Qingyan to register.
Zhou Limei was helpless. This limited sales strategy was right. At least it was successful now.
But if this situation continues, the powerful will use their power to oppress them. What will they do then?
Zhou Limei felt a little worried when she thought of this. She had to think of a way to solve this problem.
After everyone left, Zhou Limei quickly locked the shop door from the inside and took Lin Qingyan up to the second floor.
When the table on the second floor was ready and everyone was holding a glass of water, Zhou Limei sighed.
"Qingyan, we have to think of a solution. I feel like there will be more and more people who want to buy something but can't, and they'll come and cause trouble. It'll be really annoying. We need to think of a permanent solution."
Lin Qingyan thought of the inventory at home and asked Zhou Limei tentatively,
"How about increasing the amount a little bit every day?"
Zhou Limei looked at her and asked, "Can you increase production capacity further?"
"We can increase it a bit. Let's not talk about it and just leave it there. According to the current supply and marketing, we should be able to sell it even if we increase it a bit."
"We can sell it even if we increase it by 50 kilograms. Are you sure you can increase it?"
Lin Qingyan thought about it carefully and asked Zhou Limei:
"Before the Lunar New Year, I could double the daily supply. But after the Lunar New Year, if I get busy, I may not have as much time to plant, so the daily supply can only maintain the current amount."
Zhou Limei shook her head when she heard this and said to her, "If it increases now, it will decrease after the New Year, which is even worse."
"How about this? The store will still supply the same thing every day. If there are people I have a close personal relationship with, I will leave a copy for them and not leave it outside. I will ask them to come and get it at another time."
“Do you still need to make a reservation?”
"Yes, let's make reservations, it will be much easier for us. I will take this opportunity to formulate the reservation rules and send them to the group directly, so that they can make reservations in a row first.
If it is full, we will directly ship it to the next day. In this way, we can directly pack it for her according to the quantity every day and let her come to pick it up at the appointed time. They will not rush to grab it here and will definitely accept it. "
Lin Qingyan had no idea about Hyundai's sales strategy, so Zhou Limei was in charge of everything.
The two began to formulate the predetermined rules. Zhou Limei basically formulated them, and Lin Qingyan studied on the side. However, she also asked questions from time to time.
An hour had passed since the rules were finalized. Lin Qingyan said goodbye to Zhou Limei and prepared to go back.
