<h4>Chapter 1205: New Idea</h4>
“Some time ago, I read a piece of news. It said that pomelos were very popr and sold very well in the marketst year. Thus, the farmers realized there were prospects in nting pomelos, so fruit farmers all over the country began to grow pomelos. With everyone nting pomelos, pomelos were suddenly very unmarketable.
“There was a vige where everyone in the vige grew pomelos. Eventually, none of their pomelos were sold. When the pomelos were ripe, they had to nt the fruits and vegetables for the next season. Without another choice, the vigers could only pile the pomelos on the vige’s basketball court. Directly, this led to pomelos piling up in every shared facility in the vige. Within a radius of two acres, the piled pomelos reached up to 20 meters high. No one bought any of them even if they cost only 20 cents each. The pomelos at the bottom were all rotten, and no one dealt with them. The entire shared space became a rotting junkyard.”
The CEO, Luo Cheng, asked, “Chairman, are you saying that we have to interact with these fruit farmers in the future and get our hands on some first-hand products? However, we are arge corporation, and we’re limited in both manpower and resources. These unseble fruits are usually found in remote areas. After contacting them, we still have to arrange our own transportation to transport the goods. Adding these into our cost, we might as well go to a second-hand wholesale agent to get the goods. These agents have been working with thepany for years and are trustworthy. Secondly, they’ve always been fair with their prices. For us to spend so much time looking for these fruit farmers, we might as well spend more time looking for our next piece of emptynd and strive to get our hands on it.”
Leng Qirui shook his head. “Everyone knows that EQ Company has achieved massive sess in the market with their cryptocurrency. If they can gain people’s attention by letting them exchange virtual goods with thepany’s virtual currency, think about what we can do. What if we let people use real money to exchange for real items through our online tforms?
“Let’s use the fruit farmers from that vige as an example. If they sign up as a member on ourpany’s online tform, they can set up their virtual shop there. They can put up pictures of the fruits in their vige and thenbel the prices properly. Will there be anyone who can resist buying pomelo that costs 20 cents each? After all, the pomelo we eat outside costs around several dozen bucks each!”
Everyone in the middle and upper management, “…”
One look and they could tell that Leng Qirui was someone who had never suffered before! How could a pomelo cost several dozen bucks? He must have gotten cheated, right?
However…
His method sounded really feasible too!
“The pomelo is just an idea that suddenly urred to me after I read the news. It’s only one potential aspect. Think about it. If most of the businesses in Camino registered themselves on our tform, and most of the people buy things from our tform, not only will everyone get to buy items at a cheap price, but we can also hire people whose job was to deliver those items to their doorsteps. I reckon that we don’t need to invest arge amount of money into marketing before everyone starts spreading the good news. Soon enough, countless people will sign up as members on our tform and shop from there.”
“Chairman, personally, I think that your suggestion is very refreshing and very good too, but… as you know, be it fruit farmers or manufacturers, they’re the ones who produce the goods. They normally sell to wholesalers. It might be difficult for them to sell their products to their customers one by one.”
