Chapter 23 The Fruit of Spike Town At the restaurant in Spike Town, Mr. Gaede was sipping steaming Longjiang tea with a comfortable expression.
"I'm used to drinking black tea. It would be nice to drink oriental green tea occasionally." Then he put down the teacup, looked at Xia Ye and asked: "Xia Ye, what's going on here this time?"
"Mr. Gaede, do you still remember the last time you went to Quanguan City to sell tree fruits?"
"Of course I remember. It's only been a few days. Old man, I have a good memory." Gad took out the key to the truck from his pocket and put it on the table, "So are you going to sell fruit again? Here, the car key, you can drive there by yourself. ."
Seeing that something was wrong with Xia Ye's expression, Gade's retracted hand stopped in the air, and he asked in a low voice:
"Don't you have a driver's license?"
"It's true that I don't have a driver's license, but that's not what I want to say. In fact, I just came back from Quanguan City." Xia Ye's tone was slightly embarrassing.
Gade didn't reply. He sipped the tea and motioned to Xia Ye to continue with his eyes.
"The sales of fruits in Sunset Forest are very good. Half a day after I sold them, all the fruits were sold out at the fruit store, and two days later there were still customers asking if the fruits were still available that day." Xia Ye fisted his fist. Tell Gade what he saw and heard at Shuguo Store in Guan City.
"Well, isn't this good? If you double the price when you sell it next time, you won't find out that guy is deliberately lowering the price." Gade said with a bit of hatred for iron.
"Of course I found it, Mr. Gaede. When the guy bought the fruit, he was so nervous that his hands were shaking."
"So you are deliberately testing the popularity of Sunset Forest Fruits in the market?"
"That's right." Xia Ye nodded.
Gade looked at the steaming tea and asked his question.
"You want to sell fruit from the tree yourself?"
"No," Xia Ye waved his hand and said seriously: "I want to use the fruits of Sunset Forest as a means to promote Spike Town."
"Hey, if you are so confident, that group of customers will come to Spike Town to buy the tree fruits from the Sunset Forest. It is not as easy as you think to sell the tree fruits in Quanguan City."
Mr. Gaede held out three fingers and said, "Popular traffic, good location, and accumulated customers. How can Spike Town satisfy these three points?"
"Furthermore, the tree fruit store is stably supplied by the tree fruit garden. What if the store's reputation increases and the supply of goods is no longer available? As a ranger, do you have to compete with the Pokémon in the forest for food?" Gade asked. .
He knew very well that opening a shop was not that simple. He was confident that his curry could beat of the restaurants in Galar, but how could any customer come to this declining town specifically to eat a plate of curry?
"Mr. Gaede, Sunset Forest fruit is more attractive to customers than curry."
Gad, who was drinking tea, choked on his words, coughed violently, and widened his eyes.
"Ahem, you kid, if it weren't for your concern for Spike Town, I would definitely beat you up."
"Have you ever tasted the fruits of Sunset Forest? How do you feel?" Xia Ye looked directly at Mr. Gaede and asked.
"This" Gade's eyes were in a daze, and he finally replied helplessly: "It's delicious. It's a fact that it's delicious."
"But" what else did he want to refute.
"First, I don't plan to open a store in Spike Town, but sell it to other tree fruit stores like before."
Xia Ye's eyes were very serious, and Mr. Gaede put away his objection. Yes, Xia Ye just wanted to revive Spike Town. It's not too late for me, an old man, to listen to what he said before giving any suggestions.
"First of all, the selling price can be lowered, but it must be named Spike Town. Taking the sales volume of Shuguo Store in Quanguan City as an example, these bosses should agree."
"It's all about reputation, we need people to remember Spiketown's name."
"As for the output, I must have my own considerations in proposing this plan. Don't worry, the output of Sunset Forest Fruit will only increase in the future."
"Well, what if these bosses don't agree?" Gade also participated in the discussion.
"As long as the quality is good and the price is low enough, there will always be people who agree. We do it at almost zero cost." "Are you really a ranger?" Gade asked helplessly, "What about after attracting people here? ?”
"Of course it is to show them the charm of Spike Town. You should know this better than me."
"Huh, this is natural." Gade drank the tea in one gulp and put it on the table. "This is a step-by-step process. You still have the job of a ranger. Leave the promotion to me. I'm still old man. Someone with some connections.”
Then Gade said with a smile: "Is this why you came to ask me for help?"
"Yes."
"I understand, but Xia Ye, why do you want to help Spike Town revive?"
"Why? Probably because of the charm of Spike Town." Xia Ye's words were not hypocritical at all.
After hearing Xia Ye's answer, Mr. Gaede stood up and walked to the kitchen, then left a message.
"Sit down and wait, I'll treat you to a meal."
After that day, a batch of high-quality tree fruits with the name of Spike Town gradually appeared in tree fruit shops across Galar. They were quickly sought after by trainers, and people began to pay attention to Spike Town, the place where the tree fruits were produced. Curious.
At the main address of Malokomon Group Company, President Roz is playing with the plump pomelo fruit in his hand.
"Look, Olivia, what a beautiful tree fruit. It is said that it tastes very delicious."
"Well, President Rozi, according to the research report, the quality of this fruit is higher than the ordinary pomelo fruit." Olivia looked at the records in her hand and reported to Rozi.
"Hey, that's really awesome." Roz praised repeatedly.
"Then shall we send our subordinates?"
"No need, Olivia." Roz shook his finger and said calmly: "This is not what we need to care about now, and the residents of Spike Town have probably devalued me as nothing behind my back. "
"How could they understand your hard work!" Olivia looked excited, but then quickly calmed down and showed an apologetic expression, "I'm sorry."
"It doesn't matter. I have long been prepared to be rejected by everyone. Yes, everything is for the future of Galar." Roz's eyes were firm, and his plan was bound to succeed.
Water Boat Town, a port city in eastern Galar, Ma Li came to this city after easily completing the challenge of the Grass Arena.
"Xia Ye said that when he comes to Shuizhou Town, he must go to the Shuguo Store. Moru Beike, what surprise do you think he is hiding?"
"Momo~" Molubeke's mouth was full of fruit and he didn't know what he was mumbling.
"That's right. As long as you are here, I will go even if Xia Ye doesn't say anything."
Ma Li believed that being able to easily challenge the grass arena was thanks to Xia Ye's experience, so she expressed her gratitude on Qiu Qiu, and then received such a response.
"There's nothing special about this," Ma Li walked into the fruit shop and scanned it for a week, and suddenly found something she cared about, "Well, this is it?"
There was a wooden nameplate placed on the empty fruit basket, with the words "Tree Fruit, Specialty of Spike Town" written on it.
"This is your surprise, Xia Ye."
Ma Li understood Xia Ye's meaning in an instant. It turned out that he wanted to promote Spike Town by relying on the fruits of Sunset Forest. This must be the method he came up with.
"Well, everyone is working hard, and I have to work harder~"
Ma Li encouraged herself in a low voice, "Just wait, Xia Ye, I will definitely bring more fame to Spike Town than you do. I will not lose this contest!"
