Back to the 1970s: Building My Fortune Through Time Trading-Chapter 411: Fertilizer and Pesticide Orders

Chapter 411: Chapter 411: Fertilizer and Pesticide Orders

The three soon arrived at Chuan City’s First Meat Factory, and from afar, they saw a short, chubby middle-aged man standing there, as if waiting for someone.

"Brother Zhou, we’ve brought the person."

Hu San waved enthusiastically at the man from a distance.

Brother Zhou’s gaze fell on Su Xiaoxiao, and he hesitated, "Is she really the big client you mentioned?"

This young girl looked just about coming of age, really reliable?

"Brother Zhou, what’s our relationship? Do you think we’d lie to you? Comrade Su is the sales manager of Binhe City’s Second Department Store."

Chen Hai patted his chest in assurance.

The two had found out about Su Xiaoxiao’s identity yesterday and now respected her even more.

Becoming a sales manager at such a young age, this girl is really talented.

Hearing them, Brother Zhou nodded, "Manager Su, right? Hello, I’m Zhou Changshan, the deputy director of Chuan City’s Meat Factory."

Su Xiaoxiao politely shook hands with him, "Hello, Director Zhou."

After a brief introduction, the two didn’t indulge in much small talk and went straight to the topic.

"Manager Su, we can provide the beef and beef jerky you want, but there is a condition."

Su Xiaoxiao nodded, "As long as it’s not an excessive request, I can agree to it."

At her response, Zhou Changshan nervously touched his nose.

The factory director’s request was indeed a bit too much, and he didn’t quite know how to say it.

But for the sake of their factory, he braced himself and said, "Manager Su, we want to trade this beef with you for some fertilizer and pesticides."

After saying this, he braced himself again and added, "500 pounds each of beef and beef jerky is not a small amount, Manager Su. If you cannot provide the pesticides and fertilizers in return, then this deal cannot go through."

She wondered what kind of tricky request it was, only to find this?

Could there be more?

Su Xiaoxiao was puzzled, waiting for Zhou Changshan to continue, only to see him anxiously awaiting her response.

She immediately realized that fertilizer and pesticides were scarce products at this time due to insufficient production, and even if one had coupons, they might not be able to buy them.

Chuan City, as an agriculture-based city, always lacked these resources.

But it wasn’t difficult for her.

Without hesitation, she nodded, "No problem."

Zhou Changshan was surprised that she agreed so readily and couldn’t help but ask, "Manager Su, don’t you need to call your superiors for instructions? The amount of pesticides and fertilizers we’re asking for isn’t small."

He had just calculated that, at market price, the 500 pounds of beef and beef jerky could be exchanged for more than 5,000 pounds of fertilizer and over 10,000 pounds of pesticides.

Could this young girl really make the decision for such a large order?

"It’s fine. Our general manager instructed me before I came; I can decide on small matters like this."

Su Xiaoxiao waved her hand casually.

Zhou Changshan looked at her with a hint of complexity; he, as a deputy director, needed several leaders to hold a meeting to discuss a 1,000-pound order. Look at her, a sales manager directly making the decision. Truly a talent from a big place.

"Manager Su, considering the large quantity of beef and beef jerky you need, we’ll require some preparation time. Can you come to pick them up in three days?"

Su Xiaoxiao nodded, "Sure, I’ll go back and contact our department store’s leaders to send over what you need. It should also take about two to three days."

"Great, that’s excellent."

After leaving the meat factory, Hu San and Chen Hai took the instant noodles and snail noodles and hurried off.

Su Xiaoxiao checked the time, and it was about right. She wandered over to the post office nearby to call the general manager.

She hadn’t reported her work progress since she had been out for so long.

Meanwhile, at Binhe City’s Second Department Store.

Liu Changjiang looked smug, "Manager Su has been out for several days now, right? The wall clocks in the warehouse haven’t decreased at all. I’ve already sold over a thousand units."

He had the complacent look of a small man getting his way, certain that Su Xiaoxiao hadn’t sold any wall clocks yet, so she was too embarrassed to return.

These old-fashioned wall clocks were sold at a loss for him; otherwise, he couldn’t have sold so many, and moreover, Su Xiaoxiao was just a little girl with neither money nor connections, who’d give her face?

"Comrade Liu, aren’t you boasting a bit early? You haven’t even sold half. Someone who doesn’t know might think you’ve completed the task."

Zhang Yulan snorted coldly.

"I’ve sold over a thousand, and getting rid of the rest will just take a few minutes. Manager Su might not even do better than me."

Liu Changjiang was full of confidence. How many connections could a country girl like Su Xiaoxiao possibly have? Surely not more than he had.

Just then, he saw the warehouse keeper, Old Wang, hurrying towards the warehouse with keys in hand.

He quickly asked, "Old Wang, where are you heading?"

"I’m going to check the inventory. Manager Su will be back in a few days to ship out a batch of wall clocks."

Hearing him mention Su Xiaoxiao, Liu Changjiang immediately became alert, "How many has she sold? Surely just ten or eight units?"

Before he finished his sentence, Old Wang gave him a look like he was an idiot, "Manager Su has already sold all 3,000 units."

"What?"

Liu Changjiang was utterly stunned. In just a few days, that girl completed her order task.

He had no idea that Su Xiaoxiao had been so busy making money that she forgot and otherwise would have called back to report earlier.

Zhang Yulan felt proud listening, "Ah, our Manager Su is truly capable. No wonder she became a manager so young. Unlike some people, who are only good at talking."

"Achoo~"

Su Xiaoxiao sneezed uncontrollably, having the feeling someone was talking about her.

After making the call, with nothing much to do, she decided to wander around.

Walking on the street, she saw a little girl, about twelve or thirteen years old, setting up a stall.

Curiosity piqued, she walked over, discovering that the girl was selling spicy sauce.

There were quite a few passersby, but not many seemed interested.

Curious, Su Xiaoxiao walked over and crouched down to ask her, "Hello, how much for a bottle of this spicy sauce?" 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Seeing someone inquire, the little girl became a bit nervous and held up one finger, "Ten cents a jar. If you buy more, I can give you a discount."

Su Xiaoxiao handed her a dime, "I’ll take a jar to try first."

The girl wiped her hands on her pants before taking the money and handing her a jar.

Su Xiaoxiao thought this spicy sauce might be similar to Laoganma. She opened it immediately, tried a dab with her finger, and the next moment almost sent herself flying—it was insanely spicy.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

She was so spicy she teared up and coughed for a while before calming down.

The little girl was startled, "Are you okay?"

Tearfully, she shook her head, "Is this spicy sauce selling well?"

The little girl immediately lowered her head, "You’re the only one who’s bought a jar so far."

As soon as she finished speaking, her stomach rumbled loudly.
