Returning to the mountain village, starting with mushroom picking to get rich

"Good morning, everyone. I'm Liu Yan, and I'm new here. I lack industry experience and there's still a lot I don't understand. You are all experienced and capable people under Manager Ma, and you are all my seniors in this industry. I hope you will take good care of me in the future..."

In the office of Xindu Specialty Products, Liu Yan, gentle and refined, spoke eloquently.

After all, she had received training for a period of time, and she had also suffered a lot of losses due to the backlash she experienced from Yang Lin recently, so she had already grown.

Although Wang Fuye, a senior executive from the head office, was standing behind them, he could directly decide whether Xindu Specialty Products would continue to exist.

Liu Yan suppressed her desire to show off and adopted a humble attitude to talk to Zhao Wencheng and the others.

……

"I heard from Wencheng that a big customer came yesterday, saying they have 800 acres of mushrooms grown under the forest canopy?"

The conversation quickly turned to the topic of today's work.

His purpose in coming from the head office this time was not only to support Liu Yan and give her a better starting opportunity in the subsidiary, but also...

The most important reason is that Xindu Commerce and Trade has encountered a major client.

Besides ham and Pu'er tea, the largest category of local specialties in Nanzhao Province is various kinds of mushrooms.

They opened their Xindu specialty shops in the Shuimu Wild Mushroom Trading Center, naturally aiming to seize the initiative in the mushroom trade as much as possible.

Although shiitake mushrooms are not wild mushrooms, they have a wide appeal.

Of all the mushrooms sold annually by Xindu Specialty Products and even the entire Duzhuan Trade Group, shiitake mushrooms alone account for about 30% of all mushroom products.

Such a large market share is unmatched by any other type of wild mushroom.

Wild mushrooms are characterized by their scarcity and high price, selling primarily through their reputation.

Shiitake mushrooms are marketed to the general public, focusing on large quantities to satisfy hunger and high sales volume with low profit margins.

However, even though the artificial cultivation technology for shiitake mushrooms is already very mature.

An 800-mu (approximately 53 hectares) forest-grown shiitake mushroom farm is undoubtedly one of the largest shiitake mushroom production areas in Nanzhao Province.

As Wang Fuye pondered the development and distribution of agriculture in Nanzhao, he sensed something was amiss and asked Zhao Wencheng for clarification.

"Isn't Zixu City mainly known for its Pu'er tea industry? I've never heard of it. How come there's such a large shiitake mushroom base there?"

"I'm a little confused too, but that's exactly what that person told me."

"It won't cost us much to go there, so there's no point in faking it," Zhao Wencheng said.

"Of course, we shouldn't jump to conclusions before we go to the site for an on-site inspection," Wang Fuye said in a deep voice. "How about this, after he arrives, Manager Liu Yan and I will personally go to their base to take a look and discuss cooperation with him."

"Mr. Wang, he's just a mushroom farmer, is this really necessary?" Liu Yan asked, seeing Wang Fuye's serious attitude.

"Manager Liu, you're new to this industry, so you probably don't know what an 800-acre industrial base means..."

Wang Fuye patiently explained to Liu Yan.

Although the cultivation of shiitake mushrooms under forest cover is not as mainstream as greenhouse cultivation, the yield is also not as high.

However, some large-scale forest mushroom industries should not be underestimated.

In Shangong County, a neighboring province of Yelang, a 500-mu (approximately 33 hectares) forest-based tea tree mushroom cultivation project has been launched.

According to insider information, the 500-mu (approximately 33 hectares) forest-based planting base can provide more than 300 tons of tea tree mushrooms to Shangong County every year.

Its annual output value is as high as several million yuan.

Similarly, if an 800-acre shiitake mushroom production base were to appear in Zixu City, the annual output value of shiitake mushrooms from this base would definitely reach several million.

If the market is good, it's not impossible for the output value to exceed ten million yuan.

Their products are local specialties, and it would be beneficial if they could partner with a production base of this scale.

This is very beneficial for future development.

"My God, millions a year..."

Hearing Wang Fuye's examples and analysis, Liu Yan was greatly shocked.

When I was working before, five or six thousand yuan a month was already considered a lot.

Occasionally, someone will appear in your life who earns over ten thousand yuan a month, which makes you even more envious.

Unexpectedly, after following Wang Fuye, she would be in contact with many wealthy people who had annual incomes of millions or even tens of millions.

People with this kind of wealth would have been forced to work for the other party when they were working in factories.

But now, she will soon be working as the client's manager to negotiate a collaboration with a super-rich man she once couldn't afford to associate with.

If I close this deal.

This brings millions of dollars in contracts to Xindu's specialty products every year.

Wouldn't that be a great achievement for her?

In the future, when people talk about her, she can confidently say that she has contributed to the company and made contributions.

No more worrying about people gossiping behind her back, saying she got in through connections.

"Which customer is where? I'll go pick him up myself."

Overwhelmed with excitement, Liu Yan immediately slammed her hand on the table and stood up.

"He stayed at a hotel in the city, I don't know the exact details, but we agreed to meet at ten o'clock," Zhao Wencheng said.

"Such a big client, and you didn't arrange anything for him to stay with yesterday? Were you just going to have him stay somewhere else?"

"What if he goes to other merchants during this period, or other merchants go to him? Wouldn't we risk losing customers?"

Perhaps the training was really effective. Liu Yan, who had just arrived at Xindu Specialty Products, had already taken on her role and was subtly complaining about her subordinate Zhao Wencheng in her words.

"The specifics haven't been clarified yet, and I'm afraid of being scammed out of my entertainment expenses..." Zhao Wencheng explained in a low voice, his head down.

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Contact this customer right away and ask where he is."

"We'll go pick him up ourselves," Liu Yan said resolutely.

"Let my driver go," Wang Fuye said from the side.

"The subsidiary's vehicles are mostly trucks, while my Punk is somewhat of a luxury car. Driving this car will make the other party feel our sincerity and show them our strength."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Wang," Liu Yan said seriously.

Everyone else in the company was still there, and she wasn't someone who acted recklessly.

In public, one should naturally address Wang Fuye by his official title.

"Yes, Mr. Wang, Manager Liu, I'll contact them right away."

……

"Hello, Mr. Yang, it's like this, the head office values ​​your cooperation very much, and our General Manager Wang and Supervisor Liu plan to pick you up in person."

"If it's convenient for you, could you please give me an address so that my driver can pick you up to discuss our cooperation?"

Yang Lin, who had leisurely finished breakfast and was about to go shopping, suddenly received a call from Zhao Wencheng.

"Then I'll have to trouble you."

"I'll send you my location."
