In his private territory, Lu Fan's fruit trees occupied a total of more than 40 acres.
If all these fruits were picked, they could be piled up into a small mountain.
With so many fruits, Lu Fan's 20 - 80 would not be able to carry them away. Therefore, he had to think of a simple, fast, and effective method. Otherwise, if the commotion was too big, it would be easy to be suspected.
In this era, transporting supplies was not as convenient as it was now. It could even be said to be a very cumbersome and complicated matter.
"I got it!"
Lu Fan rolled his eyes and pushed the cart out.
Half an hour later, Lu Fan came to a dock. He circled around and found a few empty containers. He took out all the fruits from his private territory and put them into them after sorting them.
Early the next morning, Lu Fan brought his men to the dock and pretended to receive the goods.
"Open these big boxes!”
A few salespeople looked at the tattered and embroidered container in surprise."Director, is there really something in here? Why doesn't it look like it?"
Lu Fan glared at him." Stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and get to work!"”
After being glared at by Lu Fan, the salespeople were so scared that they quickly ran to open the boxes.
The moment the container was opened, the salespeople were all stunned.
They had never seen so many kinds of fruits before.
Logically speaking, they were all salespeople of a state-owned company and should be well-informed. However, the variety of fruits provided by Lu Fan was too many.
They had never seen high-grade goods like peaches and honeydews before.
The fragrance of the fruit filled their nostrils. Just a whiff was enough to make everyone feel so comfortable that their pores were about to open."Director, these fruits are too diverse. They look fresh and will definitely sell very well!”
A few large military green trucks were parked at the dock.
These were all sent by the state-owned company to help Lu Fan deliver the goods.
The fruits taken from the private territory not only had excellent flavor, but also had a shelf life several times longer than ordinary fruits. Therefore, he did not have to worry about the loss of freshness and deterioration during transportation!
Lu Fan instructed the people at the scene to classify the various types of fruits. Some of them were handed over to the state-owned company, while the other parts were distributed to the small shops next to the factories he managed!”
The number of fruits distributed was based on the number of people in the factory.
The money earned from the goods sent to the small shop would go into his own pocket, so he had to be careful and sell them bit by bit. Otherwise, if he sold too much, he might be targeted.
In the morning, all the fruits were delivered.
According to Lu Fan's request, all the salespeople in the small shop wrote on the blackboard outside: Fresh fruits from the south were delicious and cheap, not for money! This was a benefit that the state-owned company gave to the employees of the various factories in order to repay their new and old customers!
Lu Fan's meaning was very clear. We're not here to make money. We're here to benefit the people.
Moreover, his price was indeed not high. At the same price, the fruits that Lu Fan sold were completely better than those outside.
It was extremely cost-effective.
Once the news was released, it immediately blew up the entire factory. All the employees who received the news were boiling.
Firstly, fruits were rare in the capital. Secondly, the fruits in the small store could be bought directly with money without a ticket. This made the common people very excited.
One had to know that in this day and age, one had to use the same ticket to buy anything.
Many times, if you had money but no tickets, you wouldn't be able to buy many things you wanted. It was equivalent to not having the right to buy them.
This was especially true for non-staple food, fruits, and other goods that were in high demand.
When they received the news, even the neighbors who lived nearby were shocked.
For a time, it caused a sensation. Countless people flocked to buy the fruits.
In front of the window, a man who had just bought two catties of oranges could not help but praise,"I really didn't expect the fruits here to be cheaper than those sold in the non-staple food company!”
"Not only is it cheap, but the quality is also good!”A white-haired old man pinched his beard and said excitedly,""I'm already so old, but I've never eaten such delicious fruit. It's simply unforgettable!”
Lu Fan's fruits were delivered to the various small shops at noon, but before they got off work at night, they were all sold out. Business was booming.
Lu Fan also rushed to stock up, but the fruit trees in the territory had already been plucked by him. No matter if he wanted to replant the trees, he would have to wait at least five days.
That night, Lu Fan took out a batch of hidden fruits and divided them into gift boxes. He called his subordinates and asked them to send these to the directors of the surrounding factories.
After receiving the fruit gift box, the factory directors could not stop smiling."The newly appointed Director Lu of this state-owned company really knows how to be a good person. He gave us such good things for no reason! It's really expensive!"
These fruits were all first-class good things. In this era, what was most lacking was supplies.
Being able to afford fruits naturally became a symbol of wealth.
Especially the fruit gift box that Lu Fan had personally prepared. There were all kinds of fruits inside and it was wrapped in a bow. It looked very good.
After all the gift boxes were delivered, one of his subordinates came back to report and asked with a belly full of complaints,"Director, I don't understand. Why don't we keep such a good thing for ourselves? Instead, we have to give it to those factory managers who have nothing to do with it?”
"It's fine if we give it to the factory director of our light industry, but why can the factory directors of those cloth factories and processing factories also get a share?”
Lu Fan smiled." What do you know? Giving things is much more useful than keeping them and selling them for money. What I want is connections!"”
Lu Fan was a person from the future. He knew how to run a business well.
In this special era, connections were the biggest capital and also the most valuable.
Whether it was selling fruits now or selling Japanese department stores before, these were all small businesses. He needed to build a good relationship with the leaders of the surrounding factories.
He had to continue to accumulate connections and resources. When the new century arrived, these would be Lu Fan's explosive capital.
Therefore, he had to do his best to accumulate his connections and resources during this period of time.
As for those small favors, they were all in the system anyway. He did not need to pay for them. Using these small favors to exchange for the attention and trust that the leaders did not have was a good deal no matter how he looked at it!
Before dark, Lu Fan roughly calculated the total sales of fruits from more than 20 small stores that day!
In total, it was more than 20,000 yuan.
Such an astronomical figure was even given to Lu Fan.。
One had to know that in this era, it was already considered good for every household to have a savings of more than a hundred yuan. Those who had a few hundred to a thousand yuan were all wealthy families, and people like Lu Fan were really rare.
Lu Fan asked the system and learned that the next wave of fruits would take five days to ripen. The fruit trees were not ripe yet and could not be picked.
Therefore, Lu Fan decided to take advantage of these five days to seize the opportunity to go to the black market and exchange all the money into gold bars.
Money would depreciate in value soon, but gold would not. Instead, it would continue to appreciate.
These gold bars would also be an important capital for Lu Fan to rise in the future.
