Chapter 1330

Secretary Xiao Zhu arrived very quickly.

Perhaps this is the charm of a national treasure; no one can resist its existence.

When Secretary Xiao Zhu rushed into the courtyard, she was still thinking: If the Song family becomes the exclusive supplier of bamboo shoots for the pandas, then the invisible protection their family can obtain will be even greater, right?

You must know that after the grandfathers came for a visit, they gave quite a few family members a heads-up, which is why such a cornucopia is still in a quiet state and a harmonious atmosphere now.

What they need to do now is to continuously add weight to the Song family.

Supplying bamboo to the pandas can also be considered an unexpected choice.

But.

Song Tan pointed to the bamboo forest outside: "Our family cannot supply bamboo shoots all year round."

"Are you silly?" Secretary Xiao Zhu laughed: "As long as you supply bamboo shoots all year round, of course, you will send bamboo over in summer and autumn."

"On the way here, I already inquired that the Shancheng Zoo only has two pandas, Mao Mao and Rong Rong."

"Among them, Rong Rong is a pregnant female panda. The zoo just notified us a while ago—because after she became pregnant, she is no longer on public display. She is very precious!"

"Look, your family's bamboo forest is neither big nor small; it should be able to supply two pandas, right?"

Lu Chuan also raised his head from the data: "It's a bit difficult to sustain. After all, a panda needs to eat 12-36 kilograms of bamboo a day and feeds for more than 10 hours... After all, there isn't much nutrition in bamboo, so it needs to keep eating to ensure survival energy."

"So this amount is indispensable. And what our family grows is ordinary moso bamboo. A bamboo that has grown and taken shape weighs about 40 to 50 jin, and there are only over a thousand trees per mu..."

"But when the bamboo is transported over, it certainly isn't calculated from the roots."

Therefore, the bamboo from two or three mu of land can support two pandas, but in a situation where the shoots are all going to be dug up, it cannot be maintained forever.

But Secretary Xiao Zhu still looked at Song Tan: "I still think you should agree to it."

Song Tan nodded: "I understand what you mean—but how about we forget about the supply contract? How about this: if they are responsible for transporting the goods, our family can supply them for free every day..."

Looking at the data Lu Chuan gave, the price of bamboo generally purchased for giant pandas is about 0.3 to 2 yuan per jin; the expensive price mainly depends on the variety.

But the moso bamboo here...

To tell you the truth, many years ago, someone came to collect it for 0.8 yuan per tree. Although the price has risen now, and although their family's things are all very good and they can ask for any price, this bamboo... surely we can't set it at 10 or 8 yuan per jin, right?

In their family, these bamboos are only used to build fences and set up vegetable racks.

Who would have thought they would be eyed by giant pandas?

"Wait!" Lu Chuan realized: "I checked the navigation; Shancheng Zoo is about 25 kilometers away from Boss Chang's Chang Le Ju."

Everyone sat together, and Until Wu Lan even asked: "Then let the zoo pay the shipping fee for Boss Chen, and he can bring one or two bamboos over every day!"

How could it be that simple?

The bamboo that pandas eat must undergo quarantine. Bringing one or two trees every day means they have to be spot-checked every day, which actually increases costs. Their purchases are all brought back by the ton, spot-checked, and then placed in a refrigerated warehouse after passing.

Secretary Xiao Zhu reminded: "I know you don't lack the money for bamboo, but if you don't charge, it will be very difficult for the zoo side. After all, it is state-owned—how about this, you just list it on the online store, and you just ship however much they, the zoo, buy."

It's a simple matter between buyer and seller; there's no need to sign any contract, nor is there a need to maintain a long-term supply agreement—who knows if the giant pandas won't eat it after a while?

This way, both sides are very relaxed.

Zhang Yanping let out a long sigh of relief: "Wouldn't it have been over if we had done this earlier? Come, how much are we selling, and at what price? I'll reply to them now."

"I just said we were discussing it, and they sent another pile of messages."

Song Tan had already calmed down—after all, although the bamboo is for the pandas to eat, the one negotiating the contract with her later was not a panda. Dealing with people, it's better to save some peace of mind where possible.

"Bamboo shoots are 18 per jin, excluding shipping; bamboo... forget it, let's make it 5 yuan per jin."

"If they are willing, they can place an order directly. If they aren't willing, then forget it."

Zhang Yanping responded: "Okay, I'll tell them first and wait for them to confirm before listing it. Otherwise, I'm afraid that before they find out, the bamboo shoots will be snatched up by others."

And at Shancheng Zoo, Qiao Yu looked at the other party's reply and couldn't help but feel conflicted: "So expensive."

The leaders gathered around to look at the price and couldn't help but be so angry that their faces turned red: "This merchant is too good at sitting on the ground and raising prices!"

In the past, when they bought that kind of good variety of bamboo, the highest price was only 2 yuan per jin! How did this ordinary moso bamboo double in price!

Qiao Yu hurriedly explained: "They might really not be sitting on the ground and raising prices, but giving us a discount..."

She is someone who has watched the replays several times, and at this moment, she deftly found the video: "Look at this spinach, 6 yuan per jin, the bullet comments are all saying they are moved to tears."

"Last year, their peaches were 80 per jin."

"Tao Tao Bao also has a shop, and many people left comments in the shipping link saying that honey is 1000 per jin, tea is 10,000—oh, it rose to 50,000 in the second half of last year, and they didn't sell it later."

In short, this shop's main selling point is that it's expensive.

"That bamboo shoot was also sold last spring, 20 per jin, excluding shipping... so I think giving us 18 yuan per jin is really rare."

No wonder they emphasized at the bottom that it was for the sake of the giant pandas...

The leaders:...

They can be expensive, but the zoo's budget is also limited!

The annual appropriation is only so much, and this bamboo and bamboo shoot price has multiplied several times; where, where, where is this supposed to be squeezed from?

The leader looked worried: "I still have to rely on Rong Rong's pregnancy and picky eating to submit a report and apply!"

But in any case, we can still see Rong Rong walking around anxiously in the park now; this is carrying a panda baby!

The leader was extremely conflicted: "You tell him, we want 200 jin of bamboo, 200 jin of bamboo shoots—wait a minute, I'll call the finance department over."

"Okay." Qiao Yu also let out a sigh of relief. Rong Rong not eating anything really made her heart ache.

"But they said that after we have the money ready, they will list it. It's best to pay immediately, otherwise, I'm afraid of being beaten to it by others."

"Just kidding!" The leader scoffed: "Why would anyone else buy this bamboo? Do they have the teeth of a giant panda?"

While speaking, the finance person had already pushed the door and entered. The leader waved his hand: "Let him list the link! We'll pay in a while—use our zoo's procurement card for this!"

"Wait!" The finance person, who knew nothing, shouted from the side: "Pay what? What link? Why are we using our procurement card?"
