Chapter 426: Watermelon Craze
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When Gu Qingming was harvesting peanuts, the watermelons shipped to a few hotels were simply selling crazily!
Originally, the hotels would send free fruit to the guests who ate at the hotel.
Junyue Hotel launched initiatives for a unique organic vegetable and an after-dinner watermelon.
President Yin expected that this organic watermelon would definitely become as popular as organic vegetables.
However, he never expected that this organic watermelon would be so popular that it would almost crush the hotel!
“President Yin, I don’t need you to give me watermelons for free. I will fork out the money. Can you sell a few watermelons to me?”
“President Yin, where did you get this watermelon from? Can you get me 3,000 catties? I want to give some to my relatives, friends, and clients. The price is definitely not a problem!”
“President Yin, you can also get me 3,000 catties! My Old Master’s children love to eat. After eating watermelons, they can even eat two more bowls of rice! You don’t know that in the past, the eating problems of our old and young always gave us a headache! Why don’t we do this? When your hotel buys organic vegetables from that family, help me buy some too. Help me buy some watermelons too! As for the issue of money, I will definitely not let you guys suffer!”
President Yin was speechless.
All of them were telling him that money was not a problem and that they would not let him suffer.
But the question now was, was this a matter of money?
This was clearly a problem with the supply of goods!
He also wanted to buy more supplies, but the person in charge of Qingkang Company was unwilling to give him more. It was useless even if he said good things. What could he do?
He had no choice. President Yin could only reject them one by one!
His refusal could not offend anyone, which gave him a headache!
He scratched the loose hair on his forehead and said irritably, “Sometimes when business is too good, it makes people worry!”
When the hotel first launched the after-meal watermelon, it was indeed free.
Of course, there was a limit to what was free. There was only a small plate.
Many customers were still unsatisfied after eating. Of course, they wanted another serving, but they were rejected! Once they were rejected, the customers were unwilling and still wanted another serving from the hotel. They would pay ten times the price!
There were so many customers causing such a ruckus every day. If this continued, it wouldn’t be good.
Thus, President Yin could only implement the same measures he imposed for the organic vegetables. Customers had to make reservations in advance.
In addition to the 2,000 catties of watermelons reserved for important customers of the hotel, the remaining 1,000 catties of watermelons were first-come, first-served.
Then, many customers rushed to book, and all of them were very generous. Then, they carried these watermelons back happily!
The staff in the hotel almost thought that this was a fruit shop selling watermelons and not a five-star hotel!
However, when they saw that the organic vegetables and watermelons sold by the two five-star hotels were so popular, some people had thoughts!
Hence, someone secretly inquired about the origins of the two goods!
As for whether it was a robbery midway, it was hard to say!
Manager Xiao from the procurement department reported to President Yin in the general manager’s office. “President Yin, many people are asking about the source of our hotel’s vegetables and watermelons. It seems like they have a motive!”
When Manager Xiao said this, he looked a little worried!
If someone found out the source of these things, the Junyue Hotel and the Shihao Hotel might lose a huge advantage!
Manager Xiao continued, “Qingkang Company can be found as long as someone investigates it! If someone intercepts our path, then we…”
President Yin waved his hand and said, “You don’t have to worry about that! Those people can get it because of their ability!”
Manager Xiao was speechless..
