Chapter 98 Dried Radish

After hearing Ji Lan's words, Xia's parents understood that she wanted to help their business.

The starting point was good, but Xia's mother still hesitated and said, "Xiao Lan, I know your idea is good. Once Xiao Yu's radishes are made into dried radishes, they will definitely be in high demand. But I'm afraid there will be some problems with your profitability."

As she spoke, she stretched out her two palms and gestured, "Xiaoyu's radishes retail for ten yuan a pound. Even if you go to buy wholesale, I think Xiaoyu will only offer a discount of 20% or 10% at most."

Ji Lan was not discouraged after hearing the price, after all, she had been eating the food for a while and had a good idea of ​​the prices.

"Mom, don't worry, I know all about it. I won't use our family relationship to get Xiaoyu to give me any special treatment."

"I will tell my mom about this and let her discuss it with the factory manager. If it works out, we will contact Xiaoyu again."

"Alright, alright, it's good that you know what's going on." Xia's mother nodded; the rest was beyond her control.

After having this idea, Ji Lan couldn't sit still at all, and she called her mother that very night.

After hearing her words and suggestions, her mother thought about it and told her to bring the radish home. She still needed to taste it before she could talk to her superiors.

Upon hearing this, Ji Lan promised to return early the next morning.

The next day, Xia Lang got up early and took several pounds of radishes to take Ji Lan home.

In the car, Ji Lan said, "Actually, I told you, you don't have to see me off. I can drive there myself. You can stay home with your parents. They don't get to see you very often anyway."

Xia Lang shook his head, "Don't worry, Mom asked me to deliver it. I'll come back to see them again this weekend. There will be plenty of opportunities to see them in the future."

"Okay," Ji Lan said and then stopped talking, afraid of disturbing Xia Lang's driving, since it would still take more than two hours to drive there.

Two hours later, Ji Lan and Xia Lang arrived at the Ji family's door on time.

Ji Xuemei had been waiting at the door for a while. When she saw the foreigner return, she quickly greeted him, "Come in quickly, have a seat and a drink of water."

Wang Hong also set out things to entertain his son-in-law and daughter.

Ji Lan took the radishes out of the trunk. "Mom and Dad, don't bother with all this. Try these radishes first."

"Okay, wait for me to get a knife. I'll cut it up and we'll eat it raw and try it."

After Ji Xuemei finished speaking, she went back to the kitchen and got a knife.

Ji Lan went to wash a radish first. Ji Xuemei took the washed radish and cut it into several pieces with a snap. After cutting it, she put it on the table and picked up a piece and put it in her mouth.

Biting into the snow-white radish chunk produced a crisp sound. The radish was sweet with a hint of astringency, very juicy, and had a slightly spicy taste, but it did not disappoint her high expectations.

Ji Xuemei's eyes lit up when she tasted it, and Wang Hong next to her also tried a piece. The couple looked at each other and were immediately very excited.

"That's great, honey. These radishes are so good. If they could be used as raw materials for our factory, it would definitely boost our profits."

Ji Xuemei was also very excited; now their factory was saved.

"Xiao Lan, we must discuss cooperation. A higher price is fine. Could you please give me your phone number?"

"Okay," Ji Lan was also happy to be able to help her mother, and immediately took out her phone and gave her mother the phone number.

Xia Lang added casually, "Mom, you can go and check it out in person later. You definitely won't be disappointed."

Ji Xuemei was very happy. "Good, good, you are all good children. I will handle it."

After saving the phone number, she refrained from making the call immediately, as it was still too early. She first settled her daughter and son-in-law in, and then hurriedly took Luo Bo out to the factory.

As soon as Ji Xuemei arrived at the factory, she went straight to the factory manager's office, which made the workers around her look on with some curiosity.

"Where is Deputy Factory Director Ji going? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Perhaps he's discussing something with the factory manager; it's been like this for a while now."

The workers were aware of the situation in the factory. During this period, not only were the leaders worried, but the workers were too, all concerned about what would happen if they lost their jobs.

Ji Xuemei was unaware of these circumstances and excitedly ran to the factory director's office, placing a basket of radishes on the desk.

"Factory manager! I've come up with a way to revive our factory."

Factory director Luo Dahai was looking worried about the factory's affairs when a basket of radishes was suddenly placed in front of him.

He frowned and looked up, casually moving the radish aside a bit. "Xuemei, what are you doing? Why are you so agitated? And you said you've thought of a solution, what solution?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Xuemei immediately took back the radish that the factory manager had moved aside and said, "Factory manager, the solution I mentioned is right here."

Luo Dahai turned his gaze back to the radish in front of him. The radish was of good quality, large and thick. If their factory were doing well, he would definitely have gone to discuss cooperation, but now he still didn't understand.

"So what happened?"

Ji Xuemei said directly, "Factory Director, isn't a large portion of our factory's products dried radish? I think if we use dried radish to replace our previous materials, our factory's profits will definitely improve."

"What?" Luo Dahai stood up abruptly upon hearing this.

"Xuemei, you can't joke with me like that. I'm talking to you seriously."

"Factory manager, I'm also trying to solve our factory's problems. If you don't believe me, I'll cut you a piece of radish to taste, and you'll understand why I'm saying this."

After Ji Xuemei finished speaking, she picked up a small knife from the office, cut off a section of radish, and asked the factory director to taste it.

Luo Dahai held up the radish in his hand and thought that apart from being a little more translucent and prettier, there didn't seem to be anything special about it.

He put it in his mouth and took a bite, while Ji Xuemei looked at him expectantly.

A few seconds later, Luo Dahai sat down in his seat, then solemnly raised his head, "Xuemei, after you go, the other colleagues from the factory will come. Now let's go to the office for a meeting and bring these radishes!"

"Okay," Ji Xuemei replied excitedly. Then I went out to make a phone call and asked the factory workers to call the other leaders in the factory.

Upon receiving the news, the factory's leadership rushed into the office, completely bewildered.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know, the factory manager suddenly called and told us to come to the office quickly."

"I heard that our factory's profitability problem is about to be resolved."

"Really? Is that even possible?"

"Why not? Wouldn't it be better to solve it?"

While a group of people were discussing, the factory manager and Ji Xuemei walked into the conference room. The factory manager pressed his hands down, and after everyone quieted down, he excitedly said, "I've invited everyone here today to discuss something that concerns whether our factory can continue to operate!"
