Cheng Su called Sister Wang into the house and went straight to the point about the business deal.
"You know, it’s really time-consuming to come over from Qing City. So, I was thinking, I’ll give you a fixed price of ten cents per pineapple, no matter how much you get them for from others. Sell them to me for ten cents each. Of course, the cost of transportation will naturally be on you," said Cheng Su.
Sister Wang didn’t expect such a proposal and subconsciously looked towards her husband, who was sitting in the chair.
Brother Wang also pondered, ten cents per pineapple. If they could get pineapples from others for eight cents each, they could earn a two-cent margin.
"This means you’ll become pineapple traders. Once you get started, you’ll surely not just have me as a customer," added Cheng Su when she saw their hesitation.
What she was suggesting was almost like being middlemen. They could attract their own customers and develop the business. As long as they had many customers, how could they not make money?
"But there are certain risks, such as damage during transportation, possible accidents, and, besides, you don’t have a truck at the moment. You’ll have to rent one, which is another expense," Cheng Su also explained the risks involved.
Both husband and wife were honest and hardworking people. It was Sister Wang’s hearty nature and reputation that made Cheng Su want to pull them into this business.
Moreover, she felt that this business could indeed be done.
If the pineapple jam she was currently making opened up the food market, other food companies would definitely follow suit. Big companies wouldn’t just dabble with small-scale manual production; they would definitely come in large volumes to purchase.
By then, it would be hard not to thrive!
