792 An Unexpected Price
âYoung man, what are you talking about? Didnât you want to buy yellow peaches? Weâre here to sell them to you. Why are you saying that weâre playing tricks?â
âYouâre probably selling it so cheaply because you want to sell fakes,â Lin Yi said casually. âIâve encountered this kind of thing before. Letâs be honest here.â
âIf you say that, youâre really wronging us. You can hand-pick our peaches one by one. Take whatever you like. If thereâs a bad one, send it back to me.â
These words intrigued Lin Yi.
!!
If they didnât have any confidence, they probably wouldnât have dared to say that.
âBrother Lin, the peaches their family sells are much cheaper than the others. Since weâre already here, why donât we go over and take a look?â Zhang Xiaoyu said.
âLetâs go and take a look.â
They were led by the middle-aged couple for more than ten minutes before arriving at a large warehouse.
The temperature in the warehouse was very low, so it was perfect for keeping food fresh. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Coupled with the effects of some preservatives, it could greatly increase the shelf life of the yellow peach.
However, this was not to say that they could be kept indefinitely. They had to sell it as soon as possible.
âCome in and take a look. Our peaches are all stored inside. Not a single one is bad.â
Zhang Xiaoyu went forward to take a look. The quality was indeed not bad.
However, she understood Lin Yiâs worry. As the saying went, there was no free lunch. Other people sold it at such an expensive price, but they sold it so much cheaper. If there was no other reason, no one would believe them. No one would turn down easy money.
âAre you sure all the peaches are okay?â
âFeel free to check. If thereâs a rotten one, you can turn around and leave.â
Zhang Xiaoyu did not believe it and really took out a box. She flipped through it and found that there was really no problem with them at all.
Then, she randomly picked another box and flipped through it again to confirm that there was nothing wrong with that batch either.
âYoung lady, donât just flip them. Try one,â the middle-aged woman said enthusiastically.
Zhang Xiaoyu was honest and did not care much. She picked one up and bit into it. After tasting it, her eyes lit up.
âBrother Lin, this peach is super sweet. Try it.â
Lin Yi didnât try it. From this series of conversations, he could tell that there really wasnât anything wrong with what their family was selling.
However, it was very puzzling that the same thing was sold so cheaply.
âYour familyâs things are no different from othersâ. Why are they sold so cheaply?â
âItâs been a while since I picked these peaches. If I donât sell them now, Iâll lose everything. I have no choice,â the middle-aged woman said regretfully.
âBut isnât it the same for other families? They sell it for more than you.â
âThose people are stubborn. I wonât follow their path.â The middle-aged woman said,
âIf you want to buy it, I can help you contact a truck, but you have to shoulder the transportation fee alone because I really canât earn much money otherwise.â
Lin Yi didnât care about money, so it didnât matter how much the middle-aged woman sold it for.
It was just that this matter was interesting.
The entire village sold their fruits for 3.8 yuan, but she was sold hers for a whole yuan cheaper. He felt that something was wrong.
âLiu Laoer, whatâs wrong with your family? Everyone else sells for 3.80 yuan, but you sell for 2.80 yuan. Are you deliberately going against everyone?â
Before Lin Yi could react, he saw more than ten people rush into the warehouse.
He looked at the middle-aged couple angrily, as if he wanted them.
Judging from their attire, they should be from the town.
âHow much I sell it for is my business. It has nothing to do with you. No one can control this.â
The middle-aged woman put her hands on her waist. Her aura was not weak at all, and she looked like she was arguing with a group of scholars.
âBut if you do this, wonât they prefer your price? How can we sell the rest of the yellow peaches in the village in the future?â
âThatâs none of my business. Anyway, Iâm only selling it for 2.80 yuan. Donât talk nonsense here.â
âAlright, alright. Everyone, stop arguing.â The person who spoke was the middle-aged womanâs husband. âThe price they offered is 2.1 yuan. If you want to sell it for 3.8 yuan, they definitely wonât accept it. Moreover, in another ten days, these peaches will rot. We canât afford to waste time with them. If you can sell it, then sell it.â
âEven if itâs rotten, we canât sell it to those people. If they canât get the peaches, theyâll be the ones who suffer in the end. Letâs see who backs down first.â
âIf we canât sell our things, what will we eat and drink this year? They have plenty of money. Even if they canât get our fruits for a good price, they will only earn less. On the other hand, what will become of us?â
âEven if we are a disadvantage, we canât let them bully us.â
âYou guys are stupid. Donât drag me down with you. My son is still waiting for the money to pay his tuition fees. In any case, weâll sell this batch first,â the middle-aged woman said.
âAlright, alright, everyone, stop arguing.â Lin Yi scratched his ear. âWeâre here to buy your fruits. I also want to use your harvest to earn money, so Iâll take as much as you have. Weâll buy it at 3.50 yuan. That should be your ideal price, right?â
Hearing this, the people of Shuanghong Town were stunned.
There was clearly still room for negotiation, but he actually stopped right here?
âYou want to pay 3.50 for these peaches?â
Lin Yi nodded. âWeâre live streamers. Weâre planning to do a public welfare live stream for farmers. We came over after learning about your situation. Since youâre all farmers, we definitely canât let you lose money. Moreover, we think three and a half yuan is a suitable price. If you agree that thereâs no problem with this, Iâll take all these peaches.â
Lin Yiâs words stunned everyone. After a few seconds, they smiled and looked at Lin Yi as if he was their savior.
âWhen will you send someone to collect them? Our peaches are all stored in the warehouse. Donât worry about them.â
âIâll arrange for someone to do this later. Go back and prepare first. When the time comes, weâll calculate the money by catties. Iâll count it for you on the spot.â
âAlright, alright, alright. Weâll go back and prepare now. This matter has been confirmed. You canât go back on your word now.â
âWeâll pay and deliver at the same time. Why would I go back on my word? I didnât say that I owed you money.â
...
Everyone agreed with Lin Yiâs words. If he dared to play tricks, they would just not sell it to him. There was no risk on their side.
âThatâs all for now. You guys go back and prepare first. Iâll bring my people over tomorrow. Weâll pay and exchange the goods at the same time.â
âSure thing.â
Because he had never thought of profiting from this, the matter had progressed without any obstacles.
After settling everything else, Lin Yi and Zhang Xiaoyu drove back to Yangcheng.
âBrother Lin, I just estimated that the total weight of the peaches they harvested is about 2.1 million catties. Excluding the weight of the peach core, they weigh about 2 million catties. According to the calculation of 500 grams in a can, we will have about 2 million cans. What if they canât be sold?â
âIf we canât sell them, then we can absorb the cost ourselves. Itâs at most 20 million yuan. It wonât be a bad idea to bring them back and give them out to the employees. In short, this isnât a problem.â
âBrother Lin, youâre really impressive.â
âThe other girls said the same thing.â
âBut they were probably talking about something else.â
