Chapter 107 Unpacking a Surprise
As soon as the back box of the truck was opened, Lin Dashan felt that the scene he saw was a bit magical. In the two train cars, the bananas were not stacked on the ground with boxes or boxes.

Rows of shelves are all made in the carriage, and they are fixed. Bunches of bananas are packed in plastic bags and placed on the shelves. If you look carefully, you can see that there are small packages of bananas in the bags. thing.

It's no wonder Lin Youfu bought so many cars with so few bananas. Such bunches of bananas packed in plastic bags and laid flat on the shelves really took up too much space.

Lin Youfu quickly jumped onto the carriage, and carefully took down a banana wrapped in a plastic bag.

Lin Qiu looked at his second brother's cautious movements and felt his heart beating. God bless him, the method must work.

Lin Youfu gently opened the plastic bag and lifted the banana out.Lin Qiu hurriedly moved his head to see what his results were.

The bananas in the bag have turned yellow, except for occasional cyan.Lin Youfu pressed the banana hard, hey, it really didn't feel like it was overripe and softened.

Lin Youfu hurriedly pulled one and stuffed it into his mouth, took two mouthfuls and said, "Damn, it's not ripe yet, it's a bit numb!" Lin Qiu was really relieved when he heard this, it seems that his own The solution is working.

Lin Youfu threw aside the banana he had eaten, then looked at Lin Qiu, and asked curiously, "I said Qiu'er, how do you know that it's okay to transport bananas like this? It's really so far away that they haven't been crushed or overripe. "

Lin Qiu smiled. If it takes more than ten years, when the cold chain transportation technology matures, bananas can be packed into boxes and thrown into refrigerated trucks. However, refrigerated trucks have never appeared in the transportation industry at all.Even if it is sold, the price is probably not cheap.

Bananas are difficult to transport mainly because they are perishable. As long as they are ripe, they will become soft in two days, turn black in four days, and basically go bad in six days.And since Stephen and the others asked to purchase bananas, they must not send him rotten bananas, right?

Lin Qiu came up with a different way, the way of exchanging space for time.

Lin Qiu took out something wrapped in a paper bag in a plastic bag, handed it to Lin Youfu, and said to him, "Second brother, do you still remember what this is?"

Lin Youfu nodded, "I know, it's potassium permanganate. You asked me to go to the chemical factory to order it!"

Lin Dashan understood what was going on as soon as he heard it. He patted Lin Youfu's shoulder amusedly, "It's not as good as my sister's way to make you study foolishly when you were young, and I'm embarrassed to say it."

Lin Youfu was a little confused, so he said, "Hey, what's going on? How come even the eldest brother understands?"

Lin Qiu smiled, and hurriedly explained to the second brother who was going crazy, "Second brother, I thought there were two reasons why bananas were difficult to transport, one was crush injury, and the other was ripening too quickly. We It is too far away from the place of production, and it is possible to walk for ten days on the road."

Lin Qiu picked up the pack of potassium permanganate from Lin Youfu's hand, "I'm afraid it will be crushed, so I'll ask you to put some shelves in the car to fix it, so that you won't be afraid of the problem of being squeezed together. Besides, the bananas are easy to ripen and ripen." It's easy to break because the stuff produces ethylene, a natural fruit ripening agent, and potassium permanganate absorbs the stuff."

Lin Dashan nodded in satisfaction, he was very satisfied with the method his sister came up with, and his mind was really bright. "Qiu'er's idea is really good, it's not expensive and it's very practical."

Lin Qiu shook his head and said to Lin Dashan, "Brother, you think the cost is not high because you didn't see these two trains to transport so many bananas. I guess the second brother is really distressed."

Sure enough, Lin Youfu gritted his teeth, "If it wasn't for becoming a partner of Stephen's company, how could I drive so many cars and transport these bags of bananas, brother, you don't know how expensive the gas and road tolls are now. "

Lin Qiu nodded. Now the transportation industry, especially the long-distance transportation industry, has a high threshold, partly because of the high price of trucks, and partly because of the high cost of fuel, roads and bridges.

Lin Qiu looked at the bananas in this carriage, and said, "Second brother, these bananas can be stored for at most one day before sending them to Stephen. However, before sending them, you have to consider the purchase price quoted to them."

Hearing this, Lin Youfu pondered for a while and said, "Qiu'er, do you think Stephen and the others think that the lower the price, the better?"

Lin Qiu thought for a while and shook his head, "Probably not, if that's the case, it's the point of screening." If it's just a simple price comparison, they don't need to buy bananas at all.

The reason for choosing bananas is of course the difficulty of long-distance transportation, but more importantly, Stephen wants to see the ability of each company to correctly estimate the cost.As a multinational group, the requirements for cost accounting are often frighteningly high.

Whichever price is closer to the actual purchase cost is the final winner. Lin Qiu even thinks that this screening of banana transportation is only a prerequisite, and the correct purchase price is the focus of Stephen and the others.As a partner, purchasing for Stephen's company is naturally a part of the business. If you don't take advantage of the present to see clearly the ability of each company to calculate costs and profits?

Lin Youfu raised his eyebrows and said, "Really? You think so too? If you just want to buy cheap bananas, why bother us so much, just to see who can offer a more reasonable price. "

Lin Qiu smiled. Brother Lin has always had a natural intuition in the business field. This is probably the so-called talent, and others are really envious.

"Second brother, since you think it's right, then do it. If Stephen and the others choose the one with the lowest price, it may only mean that their company has no value for cooperation."

Lin Youfu looked at his sister amusedly, "Yo, my Xiaoqiu has such a big voice, even multinational companies can casually comment that there is no value for cooperation. This kind of courage is no one else."

Lin Qiu replied calmly, "That's not true. The goal of Mr. Lin of our Lin Group is to be a partner of a multinational company, not for the purpose of paying back."

Lin Youfu agreed and said, "Qiu'er's words really touched my heart. I am seeking to cooperate with Stephen and the others, and even expand our own influence and business scope through cooperation. But if we are asked to back down interests, it is meaningless.”

Lin Qiu nodded, "My second brother pursues a win-win situation!"

Lin Youfu's eyes lit up when he heard the word win-win, "That's right! It's win-win. This word is appropriate. My Qiu'er is smart."

Lin Qiu laughed twice, of course it is appropriate, this is the goal pursuit that was put forward as a slogan in international trade later, can it not be appropriate?
