I am farming in the real world

Chapter 31: Garlic, You Ruthless! Bean, You Play! Ginger, You Command! Onion, Towards Money!

"What? Growing Shanghai greens can also encounter this kind of market?"

Chen Jue was a little surprised when he heard the news.

He often watched the news, and recently his screen was filled with reports of flooding caused by heavy rains in various places.

He never thought that a heavy rain causing flooding in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River would cause such a chain reaction!

After all, he always minded his own business, staying in the mountain village of Chen Village all year round.

Except for typhoons in Wenshi during the summer, Chen Jue didn't feel much about the weather changes outside.

In the eyes of most people who haven't experienced flooding, these current affairs news are like a string of fragmented information, and they actively ignore it if they are not interested.

As for the news of vegetable price increases, Chen Jue had heard several uncles mention it.

When visiting relatives during the New Year, the elders would talk about how vegetable prices would rise before and after the Spring Festival.

Because the weather is cold and the land is not easy to cultivate, many vegetable farmers take vacations, which leads to a slight increase in vegetable production.

This is the same as the saying 'the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish'.

"Brother Chen, you are still young, you need to learn and see more."

"This time, the Shanghai greens can only be considered a small market. It is not certain how much it will rise, but in my opinion, it will not rise too high. When 'Garlic, You Ruthless', 'Bean, You Play', 'Ginger, You Command', and 'Onion, Towards Money' came out, that market was really exaggerated."

"The price of garlic alone increased by 100 times! More than ten years have passed, and the price of garlic has not fallen back much even now."

Wu Laosan, in the tone of someone who has been there, used the example of garlic to educate Chen Jue.

Before 2009, the wholesale price of garlic per pound was only a few cents or a few dimes.

Later, when encountering market fluctuations, it soared from a few cents to more than ten yuan per pound, an increase of more than a hundred times.

Even stockholders who are repeatedly harvested by the main force in the A-shares have never seen such a big battle, and they began to enter the market to speculate, thus giving birth to speculative professions such as 'garlic speculation groups'.

You must know that garlic is not a leafy vegetable like Shanghai greens. There are almost no agricultural products that can replace it, and every household needs this thing for stir-frying and cooking.

Therefore, during the period when garlic prices soared, netizens across the country couldn't stand the high garlic prices and began to complain on the Internet, while complaining and composing satirical rhymes such as 'Garlic, You Ruthless'.

Of course, Wu Laosan has a keen sense of these vegetable price increase news because he has been working in the vegetable basket for many years, and he has explored it with decades of experience and accumulated connections.

If there is a slight disturbance in the vegetable market, these purchasers and second-hand dealers know it faster than anyone else. They are doing business with first-hand information.

Most businesses are like this, earning either core technology or relying on information asymmetry, otherwise, they will accidentally stumble on it, like Chen Jue's previous bankruptcy.

Chen Jue was greatly taught after listening to Wu Laosan's long speech, and nodded gratefully: "Thank you, Brother San, I will contact people to pick the vegetables as soon as I go back!"

……

A truckload of more than 5,000 catties of Shanghai greens unexpectedly sold for more than 12,000 yuan, which also made Chen Jue a little fortunate that he chose the path of farming.

This seemingly inconspicuous vegetable growing business actually hides countless knowledge and opportunities.

Therefore, after handing over this batch of vegetables, Chen Jue detoured to several seed wholesale shops that opened at dawn next to the vegetable basket and once again bought a batch of Shanghai green seeds.

By the way, he used Tie Yi's online account to place an order for 12,000 bags of high-quality Shanghai greens on Alibaba, with 800 to 1,000 seeds in each bag.

This purchase quantity can get a wholesale price in the online shopping market, directly from the original 6.1 cents to only 3.5 cents a bag.

As a large vegetable grower, if he learns from novice enthusiasts to buy those retail seeds for a few dollars a pack on Taobao, it is purely to be a big sucker.

Of course, the reason why Chen Jue bought so many seeds was also to take advantage of this wave of the upcoming Shanghai green market to make a fortune.

Because after newly opening 100 slots, the demand for seeds has increased greatly, and he feels that no matter how many seeds come, it is not enough to consume.

If there were not only 4,000 yuan in Tie Yi's electronic account, which he earned yesterday from selling MC roast chicken, Chen Jue would even want to buy more.

……

He left a message to the seller of Alibaba, urging them to ship the goods as soon as possible.

After that, Chen Jue took a truck for 1 hour to detour to the Ruixian Agricultural Wholesale Market, and under the warm welcome of Luo Xian, the fat man, he unloaded the 500 boxes of '13A Dongkui Waxberries' that he had promised him.

This trip once again brought in more than 48,000 cash, making the backpack that had shrunk after spending 50,000 to buy Tie Kuilei's skin bulge again.

With money in hand, there is no panic in the heart.

Chen Jue contentedly accepted a few bundles of red banknotes, and by the way, he changed the subject and reminded: "Brother Luo, the waxberry season is almost over. I think the fruit king in the garden will be withdrawn from the market in two or three days. See how much quantity you will need next?"

"I'll check the statistics when I get back and see if I can allocate more goods to you in the next few days."

Because just while unloading the goods, he had already noticed that the number of waxberries on the stalls of each store was decreasing sharply, and the number of watermelons began to rise.

This is because the waxberry season is almost over, and the output will naturally decrease. The ones that can be supplied to the market are some poor-quality sources in the late stage.

Luo Xian slapped his thigh with some regret when he heard this bad news: "Brother, why didn't you come earlier? If we had started cooperating last month, we would have made a fortune during this time!"

Chen Jue smiled slightly when he heard this, and said in his heart: "Last month? Last month, I was still lying dead in the village! Where can I get you these MC waxberries?"

As the saying goes: Man is never satisfied.

Seeing that this business of making quick money will not last for a few days, Luo Xian is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

I saw him flipping out WeChat with a sigh on his face, looking at the few channels under his hand one by one, and after pressing the old-fashioned calculator, he finally reported a quantity of three thousand boxes.

"Three thousand boxes?"

"That's a bit too much, Brother Luo! I have to try my best to allocate it to you when I go back. Don't blame me if I can't allocate it." Chen Jue pretended to be embarrassed and gave the other party a warning shot first.

Luo Xian hesitated for a moment and finally shook his head and sighed. At this moment, he began to show an indifferent look, grinning and smiling: "It's okay, Brother Chen, you can send it over as much as you want. If not, let's cooperate again next summer!"

"My brother, I have opened this Sweetheart Fruit Wholesale Store in the market for more than ten years. The reputation and credibility are as strong as the Taishan stone dare to stand at the door. I never owe anyone a penny for the goods. You don't have to worry about the sales."

Seeing the other party say this, Chen Jue also agreed.

If it weren't for relying on this Sweetheart Fruit wholesaler to ship the goods, he wouldn't have had a good way to sell those MC waxberries.

What's more, he has gradually earned nearly 200,000 from Luo Xian, and Chen Jue is also willing to stand with the other party and brag for a few words.

……

After handing over this morning's five hundred boxes of MC waxberries, Chen Jue left the wholesale market by truck.

First, he sent a message to Zhang Fan of the Caidie Advertising Store, asking the other party to order the last two thousand eight hundred waxberry gift boxes.

Anyway, the design templates are all in advance, and it will not take a day for the diligent Zhang Fan and his wife to rush to work.

Of course, the reason why Chen Jue didn't order too many gift boxes was also because he had his own considerations for such a quick-money fine fruit business.

In the absence of a certificate of origin and the fruit season is about to end, he plans to stop selling MC waxberries after selling this last batch.

Because this thing does make money quickly, it can earn him hundreds of thousands of pure profits in just a few days, so fast that even Chen Jue himself feels that the money is too hot to handle.

Just when he entered the market to unload the goods, the bosses of several wholesale stores next to Sweetheart Fruit stared at him like they were staring at a piece of Tang monk meat, and several times they wanted to come up to talk but were blocked back by Luo Xian.

This subtle scene also made Chen Jue realize that if he wants to continue to cultivate the fast-money path of fine fruits, he must go to Xianju to contract a piece of waxberry land to cover it up.

"Stop after finishing these few days."

"Next, focus on growing vegetables and selling roast chicken." Chen Jue planned in his heart.

At this time, Tie Yi, who had not received the order, asked while holding the steering wheel: "Boss...boss, where are we going next?"

At this time, it was almost 6 o'clock in the morning, and the sun in the east had already emerged from the skyline of the city with half a silhouette.

The heat wave began to hit, sweeping away the morning breeze and coolness, and the sun shone into the car, making Chen Jue's face radiant.

As the saying goes, people are refreshed when they are happy!

Seeing the silly Tie Yi next to him asking, Chen Jue touched the bulging cash in the backpack in front of him and pointed to the south: "Go! Go to Wencheng to contract land!"
