Super first-tier cities: Starting from village committee secretary

"The Mountain Bear bullfrogs are a hit," Xiong Xu said with a smile. "But for now, they're only popular in Hongchang City. Give it some time, and this craze will spread throughout the entire province, and even the whole country. By then, even if Director Yu wants them, he won't be able to get them."

Yu Haiyue listened to the words on the phone and couldn't help but feel that they made sense. Given the popularity of Mountain Bear bullfrogs, they would be in high demand for some time to come.

"Okay, I'll order 500,000 catties!" Yu Haiyue decided.

"Great!" Xiong Xu agreed readily.

500,000 catties, an order worth 7.25 million yuan, was excellent.

Xiong Xu quickly hung up the phone and went back to sleep.

After hanging up, Yu Haiyue gave the green light to the business department, allowing them to aggressively solicit orders for Mountain Bear bullfrogs.

The next day, August 18th, Yu Haiyue sent over a dozen trucks to Mountain Bear Village to pick up the bullfrogs. On the same day, Mountain Bear bullfrogs continued to be a sensation in Hongchang City. Approximately 100,000 catties of bullfrogs ended up in consumers' stomachs.

The vendors in the large and small farmers' markets of Hongchang City also noticed the popularity of Mountain Bear bullfrogs and began ordering them from Jingpin Agricultural Products Company. Each order was small, around 300-1000 catties, but the volume of orders was high. On August 19th alone, Jingpin Agricultural Products Company sold another 180,000 catties.

With farmers' markets and restaurants in Hongchang City heavily promoting Mountain Bear bullfrogs, everyone in Hongchang City knew about them.

On the suggestion of Comrade Lin Yuanqing, Xiong Xu also applied for the Mountain Bear bullfrog trademark to prevent someone else from registering it first, which would force him to buy it back later.

On August 20th, Jingpin Agricultural Products Company picked up 500,000 catties of bullfrogs from the Mountain Bear breeding base, equivalent to about 180,000 bullfrogs. Mountain Bear Breeding Company also received the 7.25 million yuan payment from the client, completing the fourth order transaction and accumulating a total income of 14.975 million yuan.

That same day, after Mountain Bear bullfrogs had been popular in Hongchang City for four days, they also became a hit in Zhengjing City and Jiujiang City. The 100,000 catties and 150,000 catties of bullfrogs purchased by Zhangping Agricultural Products Company and Jindou Agricultural Products Company from the Mountain Bear breeding base were sold out in less than two days.

Zhangping Agricultural Products Company immediately placed a follow-up order for 300,000 catties, and Jindou Agricultural Products Company ordered an additional 400,000 catties. Mountain Bear Breeding Company received another order for 700,000 catties, worth millions.

On August 23rd, seeing the Mountain Bear bullfrog market so hot, Longqi Agricultural Company, which had not been picking up goods, could no longer sit still. They sent trucks to the Mountain Bear breeding base to take away 500,000 catties of bullfrogs, equivalent to about 180,000 bullfrogs, and paid the remaining 6.65 million yuan.

Mountain Bear Breeding Company completed its fifth order transaction, accumulating a total income of 21.625 million yuan.

On August 24th, Taiping Food Company from Zhejiang Province sent a car to Mountain Bear Village to pick up bullfrogs. Their boss, An Qi, also came. Xiong Xu received him in the village committee secretary's office.

"Director An, you've finally come to pick up the goods," Xiong Xu said.

Xiong Xu poured a cup of tea and handed it over.

An Qi thanked him, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then put it down. "If I don't come to pick them up, I'm afraid there won't be any goods left when I do come. Mountain Bear bullfrogs are incredible now. They're a hit in three cities in Jiangnan Province. I estimate that it won't be long before they become popular in all the cities of Jiangnan Province."

An Qi was somewhat surprised by the current popularity of Mountain Bear bullfrogs. They had only been on the market for a short time, and Mountain Bear bullfrogs in Hongchang City, Zhengjing City, and Jiujiang City were selling like crazy, even more so than when crayfish first came out.

Xiong Xu smiled proudly when he heard this. "Good products don't have to worry about sales. Good wine doesn't fear a deep alley. Mountain Bear bullfrogs are relying on their quality to overcome all obstacles in the market."

"Haha."

An Qi smiled, took out a cigarette, and began to smoke.

"Boss Xiong, I won't beat around the bush with you. The main purpose of my visit this time is not to pick up bullfrogs."

Xiong Xu nodded, knowing that An Qi had other matters to discuss.

"I want to get the exclusive distribution rights for Mountain Bear bullfrogs in Zhejiang Province!" An Qi continued.

Xiong Xu was not surprised. This was all within expectations.

What Xiong Xu cared about was the distribution fee.

"Great, that's great. This way, I save trouble and can directly supply the goods to just your company instead of having to supply them to multiple companies one by one," Xiong Xu said with a smile.

Having a distributor was beneficial to Xiong Xu.

There were two main benefits: first, he could receive a considerable distribution fee; second, it would be more convenient to deliver and settle accounts, dealing directly with one company.

"That's right. This is beneficial for both parties."

"Regarding the distribution fee, I'll give you this amount per year."

An Qi held up one finger.

"Ten million?"

An Qi nodded. "Ten million a year. How about that price?"

Xiong Xu smiled slightly. A price of ten million a year was naturally very suitable, even exceeding Xiong Xu's expectations. He had thought that he would be lucky to get eight or nine million, but he didn't expect ten million.

"I agree."

Xiong Xu extended his hand to An Qi.

An Qi also smiled and shook hands with Xiong Xu.

"Happy cooperation!"

Next, Xiong Xu took An Qi to town to print out the contract and signed an exclusive distribution contract for the entire Zhejiang Province and an order for 1 million catties of bullfrogs.

That day, Mountain Bear Breeding Company received the 10 million yuan distribution fee from Taiping Food Company and the remaining 6.65 million yuan for the first 500,000 catties of bullfrogs.

Mountain Bear Breeding Company completed its sixth and seventh transactions, accumulating a total income of 38.275 million yuan.

Nearly 40 million yuan in revenue in less than half a month!

The next day, August 25th, Baoli Greenhouse Company came to the door, saying that the 75 mu greenhouse had been completed. Xiong Xu went to check it and, after confirming that there were no problems, paid Baoli Greenhouse Company the remaining 12 million yuan.

Xiong Xu also placed an order for bullfrog seedlings on an online platform, spending 700,000 yuan in one go for 1 million bullfrog seedlings to fill the emptied and soon-to-be-emptied cement ponds.

A one-day expenditure of 12.7 million yuan.

But this money was quickly earned back. As Mountain Bear bullfrogs became a hit in various cities of Jiangnan Province, before August 30th, Mountain Bear Breeding Company completed Zhangping Agricultural Products Company's 300,000-catty order and Jindou Agricultural Products Company's 400,000-catty order, earning 10.15 million yuan.

It also completed Taiping Food Company's 1 million-catty order, earning 14.5 million yuan.

In addition, Longqi Agriculture added another 1 million-catty order and also secured the exclusive distribution rights for Guangdong Province, receiving a 10 million yuan distribution fee.

After learning that Longqi Agriculture had secured the exclusive distribution rights for Guangdong Province, Jingpin Agricultural Products Company immediately realized the importance of distribution rights and decisively secured the distribution rights for five cities: Hongchang City, Ganzhou City, Yingshui City, Raozhou City, and Jian City. The distribution fee for each city was 900,000 yuan per year, and Mountain Bear Breeding Company received a 4.5 million yuan distribution fee.

Zhangping Agricultural Products Company and Jindou Agricultural Products Company were not slow either, each securing the distribution rights for six cities, including Zhengjing City, Pingxiang City, Yichun City, Fuzhou City, Xinyu City, and Jiujiang City.
