Super Little Farmer

As soon as I finished, I turned to look at Reiko. She was sitting quietly by my side, looking at me. As I looked at her, my eyes met hers. Fortunately, it was night and the road lights weren't very bright, so I couldn't see what was in her eyes. But somehow, I suddenly felt a little flustered!    

    

Still silent, the man glanced at me and then back at the four men. The four men exchanged a few words, then returned to normal after a while. Finally, Cheng Dazheng stated, "Mr. Zhang, in terms of transportation, our company can provide support. As for the price, you can rest assured that our purchase price will not be lower than that of the Spring River International Hotel. And we can make all the payments in advance. As for the third point you mentioned a moment ago, do you think you could go over and discuss it with them again? "    

    

Negotiate? This was indeed a way. But I don't think I will. Since I've already signed the contract, I won't break it. I shook my head at them.    

    

Seeing that they were all silent, I thought that I should go home and rest, so I smiled at them and said my goodbyes. I held onto my spirit and was about to move forward.    

    

"Brother Zhang, slow down!" I was only a few steps away, but the others were anxious. They seemed to have made an urgent consultation to stop me. Obviously, they had already put in a lot of effort to find me, but they didn't expect me to reject them in just three sentences. This was obviously not good for them. When Cheng Da was in a rush, he changed his address. He no longer called me "Mr. Zhang" but "Brother Zhang" instead.    

    

"Brother Zhang, these three months are really too long. We cannot accept this. We can't wait three months. "    

    

Oh? I couldn't help but be stunned. They couldn't wait another three months. What did that mean?    

    

"Brother Zhang, let's do it like this. Our car is just in front. It's better for you to come with us and have some tea!" It was Cheng Da Jin who had offered. I knew that this "tea" was actually a form of communication and explanation. I really wanted to understand the reason behind this, so I was a little moved and turned around to look at the Spirit Child beside me. She nodded at me.    

    

"Alright, let's go together!" I nodded.    

    

The four of them led the way and walked a few steps forward, but it was exactly at the place where the meter was parked. In front of them were two cars, one Ford Mondio and one Buick Junwei. With Cheng Dazheng leading the way, I was the first to get on a Ford Mondeo. The two cars, one in front and one behind, continued to drive forward. In a short while, they arrived at the Tongda International Hotel. We went straight to the first floor teahouse. I ordered the goosebumps and also a cup of chrysanthemum tea for Ling Zi. The few of them also ordered their favorite refreshments.    

    

When everyone was seated, I calmed down and listened to their explanations.    

    

At this point, Cheng Da Jin finally calmed down, but his opening remark was straightforward: Logically speaking, we shouldn't have revealed our trump card to Brother Zhang, but now that the situation is getting out of hand, we can't be bothered about that anymore, so we openly introduced to Brother Zhang the ultimate reason why we can't wait for three months.    

    

Only now did I realize that the reason for their actions was the wild vegetables that I had provided them.    

    

It turns out that after my wild vegetables were released at the Spring River International Hotel, they immediately caused a sensation in the industry. However, the other five-star hotels and four-star hotels didn't seem to mind at the beginning, because this kind of phenomenon often happened. After a few days of fire, it became normal. They were certain that the "Spring River Wild Vegetables Banquet" was a breeze. In addition, if they could find wild vegetables, their other hotels would be able to clone them within a short period of time, as long as they could find them.    

    

But who knew that in the past twenty days, the situation had changed: the Spring River Hotel had more and more guests, while the other families had fewer and fewer guests. Especially those high-end customers, they were all leaning towards the Spring River Hotel, proud to have eaten the wild dishes of the Spring River Hotel. The other hotels tried to host a feast as well, but the supply of wild vegetables was not guaranteed for one hotel. Even if the two found some wild vegetables, they would not be able to host a feast, which was much worse than the ones at the Spring River Hotel. People all decided that the "Wild Vegetables Banquet" at the Spring River Hotel was the real thing. These hotels had also sent professional chefs to the Spring River Hotel to have a taste of their dishes.    

    

In fact, since they were both five-star hotels, the chef's cooking skills and standards were on par with each other. But since the ingredients were poor, there was nothing they could do about it. As a result, the wild vegetable banquets they set up in hotels became "painted tigers can't be painted tigers". As a result, life in the restaurant became more and more difficult. This directly affects the hotel room occupancy rate, entertainment consumption rate and so on. In the upper echelons of Tongda Group, there were members of the board of directors who were determined based on the analysis of the brand strategy department. With such a development, as time went by, their hotels would be weakened and their Spring River Hotel would be continuously strengthened over the same period of time. From this point of view, it has a great influence on the long-term development of the hotel.    

    

Even more importantly, the next three months would include two important holidays: New Year, Chinese New Year! This was the traditional peak of the hotel's consumption. Their hotel definitely could not miss these two peak periods. Thus, the higher ups of the hotel gave them a "death order".    

    

Under these circumstances, the few of them moved out together and asked for my help.    

    

So that's how it was.    

    

It was only then that I understood this business deal. This early warning mechanism is really super powerful. With such a small matter, he could immediately go up to the strategic level of group development. However, it really did look like that.    

    

As for my wild vegetables, of course they are incomparable to those in other places. This, of course, has a great deal to do with the soil conditions of our mountain; and, more important, with the mountain's unique alpine climate, which no other place can compare with. As a result, wild vegetables were much better, and they also had their own unique regional characteristics. I am confident of this.    

    

Even though, I don't think that my wild dishes could have determined the development of one or more five-star hotels, I had the feeling that it was a fantasy when I first heard it from these four people. But of course I was excited to think that my wild vegetables were so popular.    

    

As I thought of this, I realized that Cheng Da Jin and the others were all silent, as if they were waiting for me to express my opinion. For some reason, my heart softened: I really had to help them think of a way to deal with all of this. Except, I really didn't know how to handle this situation in this short period of time.    

    

Of course, I can. Because the only one who signed the contract with the Spring River Hotel was me. If I let Ling Zi and the others supply wild vegetables to the other hotels in the name of my new company, no one would be able to cause me any trouble. But by doing so, I seem to have let down the Spring River Hotel, especially He Guoqian.    

    

It looks like I have to think of a way to do it both ways.
