Today I received a big pepper grower, and he asked me a ridiculous question, and I still think it's like a joke on me.
Here's the thing: the yield of peppers he has grown over the years is not high, an average of four or five hundred catties, and he doesn't make much money, even if there is a bumper harvest in the pepper area in 2023, he only earns 900 yuan per mu, compared to other large growers, his income is less than a fraction of others.
At the beginning of the conversation, his posture was relatively high, he planted 150 acres of peppers next year, all of which were handed over to me to manage, fertilizers and pesticides were bought from me, you can pay half of the money for each purchase, and the rest will be settled after the peppers are sold. However, I must ensure that his pepper yield per mu is more than 650 catties.
Listening to his tone, it seemed to give me a chance to make money.
Especially the last sentence: "I came to you because I believed in your skills!" Several agricultural supply stores wanted to do my business, but I refused! ”
With his last words, I directly denied him in my heart!
First of all, I have suffered the loss of credit, learned a lesson, never do this kind of large amount of credit business, because now the profit of agricultural materials is thin, the original income is not much, meet the last run away, will not lose more!
Secondly, I can't guarantee his yield. Although I am more confident in my management, the yield is also very related to the climate, if there is heavy rain in 2021, 400 catties will not have a chance. To some extent, agriculture is God's food, and I don't have that much ability!
The most important thing is that his condescending attitude makes me very uncomfortable, and you think that you are giving me a chance, and I don't want to accept it at all.
So, I ended up politely rejecting him.
I think I'm doing the right thing!
