Stay Home Daddy: I Was Reborn After My Daughter Passed Away-Chapter 47 - Forty-seven New Turnaround for Small Business_1

Gu Chen had not anticipated that in just one day, someone would want to buy his goji berries.

Right now, his goji berries were piling up everywhere. If someone could buy them all at once, that would indeed be good.

At least, this year would pass peacefully.

Moreover, his goji berries were producing so much every day. If he could sell them to a pharmacy, it would be a good deal.

Also, once he connected with the pharmacy, he wouldn’t have to worry about finding a buyer for his Cordyceps later on.

Any way he thought about it, the deal seemed profitable.

Thinking about it, Gu Chen felt a surge of excitement.

But none of that showed on his face.

Gu Chen said with difficulty, “You know, these goji berries are grown by myself, and as you know, the price of fresh fruit is high during winter, let alone my fresh goji berries.”

“How about this, you make an offer, and I’ll see if we can do business.”

After thinking for a moment, the owner replied, “How about eight yuan per half kilo? After all, I’d be buying in bulk, so I can’t compare to those buying just ten or twenty half kilos.”

Eight yuan?

There really is no business without deception!

Eight yuan was indeed low, even the dried, aged goji berries in the wholesale market could not match this price.

He must have underestimated Gu Chen because he was from the countryside and lacked experience.

However, Gu Chen didn’t show any signs of offense, “I think you should just prescribe my medication first.”

With that statement, he effectively countered the pharmacy owner’s offer.

His goji berries, even wholesale, would cost at least ten yuan, not a penny less.

Upon hearing this, the owner became anxious, “Don’t be like that, brother, I really want to buy. How about nine yuan, is nine yuan alright?”

Nine yuan, honestly speaking, wasn’t an unacceptable price, but the owner’s lack of straightforwardness—starting at eight yuan and then going up to nine upon refusal—irked Gu Chen.

Wasn’t this just like squeezing toothpaste?

Gu Chen smiled, “We should focus on the medicine for now, as that’s what I came here for.”

At these words, the owner’s expression soured, clearly indicating he was still unwilling.

Biting the bullet, the owner said, “Alright, brother, ten yuan. Ten yuan is my final offer. I’m also in business here, and I have to make a little profit, don’t I?”

Gu Chen chuckled. It really was like squeezing toothpaste.

His goji berries were harvested daily.

Ten yuan was no longer a low price.

But the owner’s method of slowly increasing the offer made Gu Chen curious to see if by holding out, he could drive the price even higher.

Indeed, who could say they hated money?

Gu Chen laughed and began to make things up again.

“These goji berries, they come from our own greenhouse, and the soil is imported from the north, so their medicinal value is absolutely top-notch.”

His goji berries were products of the system.

Their medicinal value was indeed a notch above the best available on the market.

After finishing his spiel, Gu Chen didn’t rush but began to look around the pharmacy.

When it comes to doing business, it’s all about who gets anxious first.

Gu Chen was in no hurry.

Now, the shop owner’s face grew even uglier. Damn it, this kid, even at ten yuan, he still wasn’t agreeing?

Was he forcing him to raise the price even more?

Grinding his teeth, he said, “Ten yuan and five, my friend, this is really a conscience price. Go ask around elsewhere, and you definitely won’t find anyone offering a higher price than mine.”

The reason he wanted Gu Chen’s goji berries so badly was simply to attract more customers.

Everyone loves goji berries and wants to buy them; to buy them, they have to come to his shop.

Once they’re here, there’s always the chance they’ll end up buying some other medicine as well.

And even if they really just buy the goji berries, he would still make a little profit. Even that little bit means he’d be making more money than the other drugstores around.

With so many drugstores in the area, the market was saturated, and to do good business, one had to employ different tactics.

Gu Chen’s eyebrows twitched. Good lord, was he actually squeezing out more?!

Ten yuan and five per catty!

In his Spirit Field, there were at least a thousand catties of goji berries. Without going in, who knows how much more there would be.

If he calculated based on a thousand catties, that would be ten thousand five hundred yuan!

What a great deal!

Gu Chen chuckled, “Alright, you can be assured about my goji berries. Their quality and grade are top-notch. Now that I won’t be setting up a stall outside the hospital, whatever price you sell them for, it’s all up to you.”

Seeing that Gu Chen agreed, the shop owner finally heaved a sigh of relief.

He finally agreed.

If he hadn’t agreed, the owner would have had to watch him sell the goji berries to someone else.

He smiled, “You, young man, I didn’t realize you actually have quite a knack for business.”

In doing business, it’s not about the haggling.

What’s most dreaded is neither agreeing nor rejecting.

Leaving you to guess.

It’s just like those trifling women, always giving you an illusion.

As if with just a little more effort, you could catch up!

Whether or not to pursue further is all based on your own feelings.

If it weren’t for eating Gu Chen’s goji berries yesterday and knowing that their appearance and taste were extraordinary,

Ten yuan and five?

Even seven yuan would have been too expensive for the owner!

Gu Chen also smiled.

“What are you saying? We folks from the village, who aren’t worldly, are all honest people.”

If he hadn’t started squeezing like a toothpaste tube, he would have sold them for ten yuan each!

Finishing his thought, Gu Chen added, “Alright then, it’s settled. I have roughly more than a thousand catties. I’m going to hire a truck to bring them all over to you. Prepare the money for me, and we’ll make the exchange face to face.”

The shop owner nodded, “All right, no problem!”

It just so happened that he had another shop at the orthopedic hospital upfront. Each of the two shops would take five hundred catties! Setting up a stall in front of the shops to sell goji berries, the business would definitely be good!

…

After leaving the drugstore, Gu Chen hit the streets and found a car rental service.

This was more than a thousand catties of goji berries; without a vehicle, it would be impossible to transport them.

These days, the prices for vehicles varied, a hundred for a truck, eighty for a small van.

Gu Chen eyed a silver small van, which seemingly could just fit about a thousand catties of goji berries. He paid the deposit and added an extra fifty.

He drove the van away immediately.

Although he didn’t have a driver’s license, in his previous life, he had often hauled goods for others to make a living.

His driving skills were still up to par.

Considering the extra fifty yuan he’d given, the owner didn’t bother to check for his driver’s license.
