Chapter 13 Selling a Favor

After about a week of serious operation, promoting traditional Chinese medicine, wine, rice and takeaway services, we have accumulated a large number of fishing friends.

At Lao Zhao's reminder, Zhang Yang re-established an order group, and all the friends he had interacted with were added to the group. From now on, whether ordering rice or traditional Chinese medicine rice, everything can be done in the group.

With the support of fishing friend No. 100, subsequent sales work has become easier. Zhang Yang is responsible for counting orders every day and then delivering them to fishing friends in person.

In the next half month, Zhang Yang's sales increased steadily every day.

After deducting the cost of buying groceries and medicines and wine, Zhang Yang's working capital successfully exceeded the 10,000 yuan mark at the end of the month.

If we continue like this, we will have no problem making a little over 40,000 to 50,000 yuan a year.

But there is no airtight wall. Just when Zhang Yang and his son's food delivery business was booming, competition came!

The delicatessen in the village heard somewhere that selling lunch boxes by the Wen River was very profitable. On the weekend of May 13th, he rode an electric tricycle carrying a truck full of insulated lunch boxes to the Southeast Embankment.

The bend here.

"We sell box lunches! Young roosters, stewed pig's trotters, pig's head meat, and snacks to go with wine. They are cheap and affordable!!" The electronic loudspeaker said this, attracting many fishermen sitting on the river bank to fish.

Soon, Zhang Yang received a call from a fishing friend. It was only eleven o'clock, and there was a box lunch seller by the river! Come here early, because if you arrive late, all the customers will be robbed!

On festivals like weekends, it is normal for fishing friends who usually have no time to go out to play to go out and catch fish during the holidays, and some even bring their families with them.

To say that it has no impact on Zhang Yang would be nonsense.

When Zhang Yang arrived at the river with lunch boxes in an insulated box, he saw Peng Lin's father, Zhang Junsheng, hawking along the river.

"Hey, uncle, you're here to sell lunch boxes too!" Zhang Yang greeted Zhang Junsheng.

"It's Zhang Yang! It just so happens that there are many people fishing at the river on weekends, so I made some cooked food at home and brought it to the river to sell!"

Zhang Junsheng waved his hand and did not take Zhang Yang's cigarette, and his tone was somewhat uncomfortable when he spoke.

In terms of seniority, Zhang Yang wants to call Zhang Junsheng uncle. The relationship between the two families has not yet reached the fifth level, and they have to kowtow together during the New Year. They are from the same village. If you look up but don't look down, competing for business with your nephew is really not upright.

"Aoao, how are the sales? There are really a lot of people today, but there are usually not so many people!"

"It's okay, I sold three copies!"

"Then you are busy first, I will deliver the meals ordered by the customers first!"

"good!"

…

After meeting each other, Zhang Yang started dividing lunch boxes along the river.

There were more than 40 fishing friends who ordered lunch boxes in advance today. Zhang Yang made a circle around the bend and walked downstream for several miles before distributing all the lunch boxes.

When Zhang Yang rushed back after finishing his work, Zhang Junsheng's box lunch stall was still parked on the river embankment.

Most of the regular customers had ordered meals from Zhang Yang in advance, so very few people bought Zhang Junsheng's lunch boxes. It was the first time that Lao Zhang came out to sell food like this, and he didn't quite understand what was going on, so he just let the loudspeaker keep shouting.

The spring breeze is warming up, and the weather that was already a bit hot has become even hotter because of the sound of the electric horn.

Although it seems that Zhang Junsheng did not sell many lunch boxes today, it has already had an impact on Zhang Yang's business. Everyone knows that there are lunch boxes sold by the river, so there will definitely be fewer people ordering meals in advance, and they will grab them invisibly.

A public customer.

In the next few days, as expected by Zhang Yang, the old customers who had been working with him steadily were a little better. They were used to Zhang Yang's box lunches and had no impact, but the number of new customers was greatly reduced.

Zhang Junsheng, who has tasted the benefits for the first time, rides an electric three-wheel to sell food every day, no matter how much he sells or how little he sells, which greatly diverts Zhang Yang's income.

When Zhang Guofu came home from get off work and heard about this incident, he raised his butt and prepared to go to his cousin to ask for an explanation, but was stopped by Zhang Yang.

"Over the years that Zhang Junsheng has been working in the cooked food business, our family has helped him a lot. This is not to drain the firepower and tear down our family!" Zhang Guofu said angrily.

Zhang Yang shook his head and looked at his mother.

"Mom, what do you think?"

Zhang's mother was also feeling quite uncomfortable. It was okay if she was not a relative, but now that her family had robbed her of her business, it really made her angry.

"Dad Penglin is indeed unkind, Yangyang, what are you going to do?"

The corners of Zhang Yang's mouth twitched slightly, and he thought of the various takeout platforms' methods of drawing commissions in later generations, as well as the demolition of the village in 2014.

Instead of competing fiercely and fighting to the death, it is better to sell his personal favors and take advantage of the opportunity to make a big profit!

Zhang Yang paused for a few seconds and said: "I think this small amount of money is not worth the trouble!

You said I should talk to him and give him the daily orders directly, and we can take a commission from it, okay?

When it comes to cooking cooked food, our family is definitely not as professional as him! It is unwise to compete with others in a field in which you are not professional!"

"Now our sales volume is obviously better than his! Are you just going to give it up to him?" Zhang Guofu didn't understand after hearing his son's words.

"Being strong is only temporary. My mother only has so many specialties. It won't matter in a short period of time. After a long time, she will get tired of it and her competitiveness will definitely drop! By then, deep competition will be unavoidable!"

I have observed in the past few days that many fishermen come out with their friends to order food for drinking. His deli prepares whole chickens, whole fish, etc. every day. We cannot make temporary food orders. Overall,

Come down, there is no advantage!

Rather than being robbed of your share later, it is better to sell him a favor and give this business to him!

By the way, I remember that behind his new house, there is a large ancestral house that no one has lived in, right?"

"We were discussing the takeout business, why did it involve the ancestral house again? After your third grandma passed away, no one really lived in the old house behind!" Zhang Guofu was confused by his son's jumping thinking.

Zhang Yang grinned: "Tell me first, according to the temper of my cousin's family, let's give him part of the profits from the takeout business. Can we buy the ancestral house cheaper?"

Zhang Guofu frowned and said: "Junsheng and his wife are both very calculating people, and they are not bad in character, but I still can't figure out what the takeout business has to do with the ancestral home!"

Zhang Yang lowered his voice and said, "Didn't I say before that you can make a fortune by dealing with those fishermen who have money and leisure all day long, and you can get rich by just hearing any useful news!

I heard that by 2014 at the latest, the villages around our Mengcun community will be demolished and merged into towns!

If the news is false, no matter how hard it is to buy the ancestral house, it is equivalent to buying a homestead, and if it is demolished, it can be used to build a new house. We will not suffer any loss.

If it is true, the demolition will only provide compensation for the building and the demolition money. Let’s let this small profit business go out and make a flat for free, so we won’t lose anything!”

"Demolition?" Hearing this, Zhang Guofu was not calm anymore.
