Chapter 119 Pujia Supermarket
"As long as Mr. Ming is satisfied, these oranges can be given away as gifts. As long as the recipient eats them, they will definitely be very happy."
Xia Shiyu chatted with Minghua for a while with a hearty laugh.
She didn't even refuse when Minghua invited her to dinner this time, as many things can indeed be discussed over a meal.
Minghua smiled and said, "Boss Xia, there won't just be the two of us eating later. We can sit down and discuss the matter you asked me yesterday."
Yesterday's events immediately reminded Xia Shiyu of the supermarket partnership she had mentioned. She had only asked casually, thinking that the business owners involved in these partnerships had quite a wide network of connections and wanted to see if they had access to supermarket channels. Unexpectedly, she found out that they did and they met so quickly.
Xia Shiyu stood up and thanked him, "Thank you so much, Boss Ming. Let's go have dinner together."
"Oh, it's nothing. We're all friends. Besides, with the quality of your fruit, Boss Xia, my friend and I are the ones who benefit."
"Haha, that's not quite it. Boss Ming is much more capable..."
The two chatted as they walked to the restaurant outside. Xia Shiyu and Minghua went inside, and he spoke a few words to the waiter before sitting down at a table.
"Please have a seat, Mr. Xia. I reserved this place in advance. As for Mr. Yue, he's in his car and there's some traffic. He'll have to wait a bit."
Xia Shiyu smiled and said, "Okay, it's alright, I'm not in a hurry."
"That's good, please have a seat."
The two sat down, and Xia Shiyu asked Minghua about the other person.
"Mr. Ming, which supermarket is Mr. Yue working at?"
"Oh, Mr. Yue works at a large chain supermarket in our city, Pujia Supermarket. It's quite famous; you should have heard of it."
"I see." Xia Shiyu understood. Pujia Supermarket was quite famous in their area, with many branches in various districts and counties. It was indeed very good.
The two chatted for a while, and Minghua made the first guess. They then continued chatting while waiting for President Yue.
After a while, Xia Shiyu heard Minghua answer a phone call.
After talking for a while, she hung up the phone. A few minutes later, she saw a smartly dressed professional woman walk over.
She had some wrinkles on her face, but you could tell she was a decisive and efficient woman.
Xia Shiyu and Minghua stood up, and Minghua greeted them first, "Hello, President Yue."
Yue Qi smiled and reached out to shake hands, "Hello, Boss Ming."
Then he turned his attention to Xia Shiyu.
He also reached out his hand, "This must be Boss Xia, right? He's truly a young man of great talent."
Xia Shiyu smiled and shook Yue Qi's hand, "Thank you, President Yue. You are very capable too."
Minghua smiled as he watched the two become familiar with each other, and only after the three of them were seated did he slowly introduce them again.
"Mr. Yue, this is Ms. Xia, the supplier I introduced to you before. You've tried her vegetables before, and they really taste good."
"Boss Xia, this is Ms. Yue, the manager of Pujia Supermarket. She has a good eye for business. She has tried your radishes and praised them highly."
Yue Qi smiled and said, "Indeed, I have tasted the radishes grown by Boss Xia before, and they are definitely the best radishes I have ever eaten on the market. They are even better than those from other radish-growing regions in China."
After receiving Xia Shiyu's call, Minghua thought about it for a while and then called her. She originally didn't think much of the suppliers in the village, as the location wasn't good and their city already had a large orange production and many choices, so there was no need to go there specifically.
However, in order to persuade her, Minghua sent her a batch of radishes. She figured she had some connection with Minghua, so she decided to try the radishes when she got home.
Unexpectedly, after eating it, I was amazed. I've seen many people with connections come to her to get in touch with the supermarket, but I've rarely seen such a truly high-quality dish.
Immediately realizing what was happening, Yue Qi readily accepted Minghua's invitation and agreed to meet with Xia Shiyu to discuss cooperation. Moreover, she thought that if Xia Shiyu's oranges could reach the same standard, she would thank Minghua in return for being willing to think of their supermarket.
It's important to understand that competition among supermarkets is fierce. If their supermarkets could offer more premium fruits, customers would definitely be more satisfied.
Xia Shiyu smiled, "That's great. I also brought some oranges with me. Mr. Yue can have some."
It was Minghua who asked her to bring it when she went out to dinner with him, and now it's coming in handy.
Yue Qi looked at her with delight as she took out oranges. "Oh, it's even better if you have some ready-made."
Xia Shiyu opened the packaging, took out a few oranges, and placed them on the table so everyone could eat them at their leisure.
"Hehe, you can try it. There's a test report next to it."
Yue Qi first picked up the orange's test report. She didn't quite understand the data on it, but she knew it was a good orange because the final test results said it was of excellent quality and high nutritional value.
Looking at the oranges in front of me, they weren't oddly shaped or cracked, and the color was very even. In terms of appearance, that was enough. Now the important thing was to taste them.
Yue Qi picked up an orange and gently peeled off the skin. The peel was very thin and was easily torn off, revealing the plump orange flesh inside.
She broke off a segment of orange, cleaned off the white pith, and then put it in her mouth.
The sweet and sour juice exploded in her mouth, the segments of orange were distinct, and the aroma of oranges spread throughout her mouth, bringing a refreshing and intoxicating feeling. Yue Qi felt as if fireworks were going off in her head after eating this segment of orange.
Her eyes were filled with amazement. After eating this segment of orange, her gaze couldn't help but shift to the rest of the orange, but in the end, she resisted the urge to take another bite and barely managed to remain calm.
She looked at Xia Shiyu, her eyes full of admiration and amazement, "These are so delicious, Mr. Xia. Your oranges are definitely among the best in the whole city, and they might even be ranked among the best in the country."
Xia Shiyu could tell from Yue Qi's expression that the other party was very satisfied. Although the other party would often keep quiet even if they were very satisfied in order to lower the price, the experience of eating food could still reveal their true feelings.
Fortunately, Yue Qi hadn't intended to hide it; she was simply very satisfied with the oranges and felt she had struck gold this time.
"Haha, Mr. Yue, you flatter me. But now that you've tasted the oranges, I'm sure you have a good idea of what's going on. So, our cooperation should be feasible, right?"
Xia Shiyu directly stated what he cared about most.
After all, the two of them came here to discuss cooperation, and talking about other things would be a waste of time.
Upon hearing this, Yue Qi readily agreed, "Of course, Boss Xia, our cooperation..."
The two then discussed the cooperation and price in detail, but once all the dishes were served, they stopped talking about it. They figured they had plenty of time, and since the weather was cold, it wouldn't be good to delay the meal.
Minghua called to the two of them, "Oh well, let's not worry about that, let's eat first."
"Okay, let's eat." The three of them quickly started eating.
