CHAPTER 1181: CHAPTER 1177: ATTEMPTING TO SELL

Originally, Caiyun Yang thought that no matter how delicious, they were just oranges.

But only after she tasted them did she understand why Xia Qianqian had such an expression.

Because these oranges were really delicious, sweet but not cloying, juicy, and the feeling was particularly nice.

"Hmm, they are really good." Having tasted them, Caiyun Yang nodded repeatedly in admiration.

She then turned to Chen Yang and asked, "Yang Zi, where did you buy these oranges? They must be expensive, right?"

"These are from Uncle Chen Yang’s new project, grown at home, didn’t cost anything."

Before Chen Yang could reply, Xia Qianqian jumped in to explain for him.

"A new project? Selling fruit? Then the price must not be low, right?" Caiyun Yang continued to ask.

This time, Xia Qianqian didn’t help answer, because she didn’t know Chen Yang’s pricing.

"Yeah, not cheap, quite expensive." Chen Yang nodded, not denying, but also not specifying how much.

Fearing the price would affect their appetite, Caiyun Yang and Xia Qianqian ate less enthusiastically.

However, Xia Qianqian was curious and asked directly, "So how much exactly, Uncle Chen Yang?"

Chen Yang thought for a moment and decided to reveal the real pricing.

"Eight hundred and eighty-eight per box."

As expected, upon hearing this price, both Caiyun Yang and Xia Qianqian were equally surprised.

"Eight hundred and eighty-eight per box, that’s so expensive!" Caiyun Yang exclaimed in shock.

Xia Qianqian immediately glanced at the box: "There are only twelve oranges, the price is too high..."

Their reaction made Chen Yang chuckle, then he explained, "The important thing about these oranges is not the quantity, but the quality. I’m targeting the high-end market, mainly for those who use them as gifts. Naturally, the price should be high; otherwise, who would come to buy them?"

Hearing Chen Yang’s explanation, Caiyun Yang accepted it more or less.

She often does business and naturally understands the logic behind it.

"So that’s how it is, I thought they were just for eating, costing more than eight hundred a box, no one could afford that." Caiyun Yang said with a smile.

Chen Yang smiled softly without saying more.

Meanwhile, Caiyun Yang became interested in the wild mountain oranges and picked up the packaging to take a serious look.

During her examination, she kept nodding, as if praising the packaging.

"Sis, how’s my packaging design? Does it look high-end?" Chen Yang jokingly asked Caiyun Yang.

Caiyun Yang immediately nodded: "Of course, it does, this outer packaging looks better than those of some expensive wines."

"Hehe, I think the packaging is okay, a bit old-fashioned, but the oranges inside are delicious." Xia Qianqian chimed in jokingly as she overheard their conversation.

Chen Yang smiled at Xia Qianqian and didn’t say anything further.

The three of them chatted upstairs for about ten minutes until a waiter brought up the dishes from downstairs, signaling it was time to eat.

Chen Yang wasn’t used to eating so late, so he was already hungry.

As soon as the food was served, Chen Yang started eating with Caiyun Yang and Xia Qianqian.

During the meal, Chen Yang noticed that Caiyun Yang seemed deep in thought.

So he couldn’t help but ask, "Sis, what are you thinking about?"

Caiyun Yang snapped back to reality and looked at Chen Yang: "I was thinking, have you opened up a market for these oranges yet? The market for such high-end gifts is relatively small, and opening it up can be challenging."

Upon hearing that she was still thinking about the wild mountain oranges, Chen Yang felt a warmth in his heart.

"Sis, don’t worry, I’ve already commissioned someone to handle the market. I believe it won’t take long to open up, and it’s not yet on the market." Chen Yang said with a smile, offering Caiyun Yang a piece of meat to indicate she shouldn’t worry about it.

But Caiyun Yang seemed to be pondering something as if she was contemplating an issue.

Just as Chen Yang was about to ask again, Caiyun Yang spoke first.

"Since the market isn’t opened yet, how about you bring some to my store and try selling them?" Caiyun Yang looked at Chen Yang expectantly.

Chen Yang was surprised by her suggestion: "Place them in the River Fish Restaurant?"

"Yeah, Yang Zi! Don’t underestimate my restaurant’s decor; the people who dine here are business figures and significant individuals. If these oranges are displayed at the entrance, they might get sold and open up the market by word of mouth." Caiyun Yang explained seriously.

Her words gave Chen Yang an idea.

Although he had Kexin Wu, Li Han, and Wang Qingyue helping with promoting, he still didn’t have a storefront.

It’s not feasible to just mail them or have people come to Liuhe Village specifically to buy them.

That would be too inconvenient.

If they could be placed in Caiyun Yang’s store, it would be different. Not only would there be a physical presence, but they could also do business with customers at the River Fish Restaurant. Indeed, it was a two-pronged strategy.

Moreover, those who come to the River Fish Restaurant are indeed people of some status.

Otherwise, who would casually spend over a thousand yuan on a meal of wild mushrooms?

Thinking of this, Chen Yang had a sudden realization.

"Sis, that’s a great idea! I’ll bring some over tomorrow to try it out. Once the new store opens, I’ll have everything from home sent to your new store." Chen Yang said happily.

Caiyun Yang was even more delighted to see Chen Yang agree.

Being Chen Yang’s friend, she naturally hoped to help him solve problems.

She was delighted to be able to assist Chen Yang.

"Okay, just send them over, and I’ll handle the sales." Caiyun Yang said.

"Alright, I’ll deliver them tomorrow."

Chen Yang agreed cheerfully, and then everyone happily finished the meal.

After eating, it was already late.

So Chen Yang got up and told Caiyun Yang he was heading back.

Caiyun Yang had already prepared clean clothes for Chen Yang, and hearing that he wanted to leave, she felt a little disappointed.

"It’s so late, you’re still going back? Just sleep here, going back is unsafe." Caiyun Yang said it was unsafe, but her eyes showed her reluctance to part with Chen Yang.

Chen Yang understood Caiyun Yang’s feelings, but he insisted on going back.

He needed to get up early the next day to inspect the constant temperature room and arrange for the delivery of the wild mountain oranges.

Staying overnight would be inconvenient.

"Sis, I need to deliver the wild mountain oranges tomorrow, and it would be inconvenient to stay tonight. I should return." Chen Yang insisted.

Caiyun Yang saw that Chen Yang was adamant and, not wanting to say much more, nodded in agreement.

"Alright, then, I’ll see you off."

Chen Yang nodded, and then he and Caiyun Yang went downstairs together.

Caiyun Yang was particularly reluctant to part with Chen Yang, seeing him off to the door and even accompanying him to the car.

"Yang Zi, be careful on the way back, don’t drive too fast."

Seeing Chen Yang get in the car, Caiyun Yang reminded him once more.

Chen Yang felt deeply moved.

"I know, Sis, don’t worry, I’ll message you when I get home." Chen Yang nodded, then started the car and returned to Liuhe Village under the night sky.
