When this subordinate went back, Peter was indeed angry.
When he heard the report from his subordinate and how those customers refused to sell him their purchase at a much higher price, he was anxious and angry.
The subordinate said, “Boss, I’ll send people to guard the entrance of the supermarket tonight. We’ll definitely be able to buy the things we need tomorrow!”
That plan worked. They got the stuff from the supermarket. The subordinate carried two baskets of things to Peter’s office.
Peter looked at the things in the basket and frowned. He asked, “Why did you buy so little?”
The subordinate said with a bitter face, “Boss, the people we sent lined up at the back of the line. When it was their turn, most of the things had been sold already. It’s already not bad that we managed to get something.”
Peter looked at the items in the two baskets. The vegetables were watery. The leaves were green, and the roots were tender and cute. Even if they were raw, it would make people want to take a bite.
The other basket contained a few common fruits. There were three apples, four plums, and half of a watermelon.
The watermelon had been cut open, revealing the bright red flesh inside. Although it had been sealed with plastic wrap, the fragrance could not be concealed. Peter took two deep breaths. He wished he could immediately cut it open and taste it.
However, he still remembered to maintain his demeanor in front of his subordinate.
He asked, “Are these from that supermarket?”
The subordinate nodded and replied, “Yes.”
Peter asked, “How much did it cost?”
The subordinate said, “278 RMB for vegetables and 368 RMB for fruits!”
“What?” Peter was a little surprised when he heard the price. “That cheap?” If one bought the same thing from Royal Forest, it would cost at least 3,000 RMB.
The subordinate said with some confusion, “This supermarket is very strange. They say that they are going the high-end route, but I saw a bunch of poor people in the queue too.” The supermarket had business from both the rich and the poor. This was puzzling.
After hearing this, Peter frowned slightly.
The subordinate looked at the fruit in the basket and smelled the waves of fragrance emanating from it. He swallowed his saliva and looked very expectant. He said, “Boss, should we try it first?” Even though he hadn’t tried them, he noticed that be it the color or the fragrance, and these things were much better than Royal Forest. Therefore, he wanted to taste them.
The subordinate carefully observed his superior’s expression and then carefully said, “Boss, we should try these things to see what kind of allure they have that they are able to draw the customers away from us.” However, he already knew from a glance at Green Fresh’s things were superior to Royal Forest’s. Since Royal Forest was the world’s number one brand in this industry, naturally, the quality of the products by Royal Forest was the best as well.
But now…
Peter nodded and said, “Go and cut this watermelon!”
The smell of the watermelon kept teasing him. He couldn’t wait to have a taste.
The subordinate carefully tore open the plastic wrap, and the fresh fragrance of the watermelon assailed his nostrils.
Both of them couldn’t help swallowing their saliva, and their eyes were shining.
