Chapter 76: You have a good business sense
When I returned to the office, several professors had already started eating.
"Oh my goodness, no wonder Professor Nan said these oranges are delicious yesterday, you know what, they really taste good.
The taste is delicate, sweet, and full of orange flavor. It is much better than what we buy on the market.”
Cui Yanran exclaimed in admiration.
"It's really delicious. I just bought a few oranges yesterday. My daughter ate two bites and stopped eating them, saying they were sour and astringent and unpalatable. She will definitely like this."
Another older female professor in the office looked at Jiang Mengyan:
"Xiao Jiang, you just said that these oranges were grown by Lin Han's relatives?"
"Hmm."
Jiang Mengyan nodded:
"The last time I went back, I picked some with my own hands in the orange orchard. It was a huge orange orchard."
"Oh?"
The other professors in the office looked at each other and saw a hint of eagerness in each other's eyes.
Professor Nan took the initiative to speak:
"Well, Professor Jiang, do they sell their oranges to individuals? Can we pool together and buy a few boxes?"
"Ah? You want to buy oranges?"
Jiang Mengyan was slightly stunned:
"Of course I will sell it, but if you buy a small amount, it will be difficult to deliver it to the city. Besides, I haven't asked his second uncle about the price. If it's too high or too low, I'm afraid you won't be satisfied."
“It’s okay, it’s okay. No matter how much it costs, it can’t be more expensive than the oranges in the imported supermarket, right?
The awful oranges I bought for my daughter yesterday were bought at an imported supermarket. They said they were imported Australian oranges, and four oranges cost 4 yuan.
The older female professor curled her lips, looking angrily.
"As for the quantity, the few people in our office should be able to get enough. I have a large family, so four or five boxes should be no problem."
Professor Nan said.
"My family can also bring two boxes for my brother and sister-in-law. She won't refuse such delicious oranges. I can take four boxes here."
“I also have about two boxes at home, so if you add them up, we can have about ten boxes in the office.
If that’s still not enough, you can ask the people in the next office for help.
Xiao Jiang, can you help ask?"
"Okay, when I get off work today, I'll call his second uncle and ask him. If he wants so much, it shouldn't be a problem."
Jiang Mengyan nodded.
For the entire orange orchard, selling these ten boxes of oranges may just be a drop in the bucket, but it is still a small order after all.
Judging from the sad look on Mrs. Lin’s face last time, it seems that oranges will not be easy to sell this year.
If the professors in these offices are satisfied, they can promote the idea in the teacher circle, which may help the couple increase their income.
After finishing the last class, Jiang Mengyan went back to the office to pack up her things. Lin Han was already waiting at the door:
"I'll go to the mall later and buy you a tablet?"
"Don't worry, help me move something."
Jiang Mengyan waved to Lin Han to come in and pointed to the box of oranges that had just been moved back from the balcony.
"My second uncle and his family sent it?"
"How did you know?"
"This ugly, almost plain packaging is not used by anyone except my second uncle's family."
Lin Han saw it at a glance and laughed.
“It was mailed yesterday, and a professor in the office brought it back for me.
There were originally two boxes, but she didn't notice and opened the wrong box and gave it to me, so I simply distributed it to other colleagues in the office, and also got an order of ten boxes for Uncle Lin and his team.
Will they feel that what they are asking for is too little and too much trouble?”
Jiang Mengyan asked carefully.
"What's the problem? It's a good thing that they can sell them. You don't even know how many oranges rotted in the fields last year."
Lin Han picked up the box of oranges:
"Take this box back and eat it slowly?"
Jiang Mengyan shook her head:
"When I came back from my hometown last time, I hadn't finished the big basket of sour oranges that my second uncle and second sister-in-law packed for me. And now I like sour food and don't like too sweet food.
I was thinking, why don't you keep some of this box for yourself, and pack the rest in a bag and send it to your friend Zhou Fan to try?"
"That's fine, then just move it over to him."
Lin Han smiled and said:
"I don't live in the dormitory anymore, and Xingzhou hasn't come back yet. Now he's the only one left in the dormitory. I'll send him some fruit to comfort him.
My second uncle must have also sent some to my mother and others. If I want to eat them, I can just go home and eat them. These few ones don’t matter.
Let's go, first we'll go to the graduate student dormitory and give him the oranges, then we'll go buy the tablet."
"Ah."
Jiang Mengyan nodded.
"Look, Sun Zi, what good things your foster father has brought you."
Carrying the box of oranges upstairs in big strides, Lin Han placed the oranges on Zhou Fan's desk with a smile.
"Hey, these are the oranges from your second uncle's house, right?
You moved out to live with your wife, and I thought I wouldn’t be able to eat these oranges this year.
I didn't expect you still care about me, that's great, I'm very touched."
Zhou Fan was delighted when he saw the packing box.
In the past few years of living together with Lin Han, every year when the orange season came, Lin Han would always bring a few boxes to the dormitory and the three of us would share.
Being able to eat high-quality oranges that are not available on the market is a rare opportunity for Zhou Fan and Chen Xingzhou, thanks to Lin Han.
"I had forgotten about you."
Lin Han chuckled:
“This orange was given to my wife by my second uncle.
My wife saved her share and asked me to send it to you, so I just came here."
Zhou Fan:.
Tmd, give me back the emotion I feel.
Zhou Fan rolled his eyes and said so, but his hands were decisive. He directly opened the box, took one, opened it and started to chew it.
"You know what, my mom has bought a lot of oranges from outside, including high-end imported ones, but in the end, the ones grown by your second uncle are the best."
After finishing one in no time, Zhou Fan said with some emotion, and then looked at Lin Han:
"Does your uncle's orchard accept small orders? Those that don't cost too much."
"What? You want to buy it?"
Lin Han glanced at him:
"Why don't you just buy it for yourself? Three or four boxes is no big deal. It would hurt your feelings if you said you bought too much."
"If I were to eat at home, I would definitely ask you directly. I was thinking of buying some to distribute to the employees in my studio.
I set up a game studio, you know.
It's been almost a year, and they haven't received any employee benefits.
The oranges from your second uncle's house are reliable, I was thinking of sending two boxes to each of them."
"Oh, if you want it, then you must buy it."
Lin Han nodded: "Then how much do you want?"
"Two boxes per person. There are 13 people in my studio, so we can get boxes."
Zhou Fan calculated and said.
"That's a lot. There are a few professors in my wife's office who want some too, so we can just about get 40 boxes to fill a truck.
I'll go back tonight and ask for the price. I'll give you my second uncle's contact information and you just need to pay him. "
"to make."
Zhou Fan nodded.
Because Jiang Mengyan was still waiting downstairs, Lin Han didn't delay any longer. He chatted for a few minutes and went downstairs.
