Chapter 94 Precisely Positioning the Market 2.4/30,000
Hearing what his son said, Cao Jianguo came back to his senses.
"You want to sell high-end?" Cao Jianguo seemed to understand.
Cao Shujie nodded and said, "Dad, you don't need to think too much about this matter, and don't worry about it. I know it well."
His son was very confident, so Cao Jianguo stopped asking about the matter.
While her mother, Wang Yuelan, was busy cooking, Cheng Xiaolin, as the young hostess of the family, began to help greet her sister-in-law's three classmates.
Cao Shujie watched his daughter playing happily with the little German Shepherd. He took his mobile phone to the bedroom and prepared to make a call.
Open the address book on the phone, look through the list from top to bottom, and call Cao Zhen first. After waiting for Cao Zhen to get through, Cao Shujie asked him directly: "Cao Zhen, are you busy now?"
not busy?"
"It's okay, there's nothing to worry about these two days. If you have anything to worry about, just tell me." Cao Zhen said.
The two of them were so familiar that they lacked some elegance when speaking, and most of them were straightforward.
"If you are in the company tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I will send you some kiwi fruit. Don't let me go and find no one." Cao Shujie also did not beat around the bush and explained directly to Cao Zhen.
Hearing what he said, Cao Zhen was particularly surprised: "The kiwi fruits in your orchard are ripe so quickly?"
The next moment, Cao Zhen seemed to have figured out the reason, with a look of horror on his face: "You don't know how to inject oxytocin?"
At this time, Cao Zhen was mostly joking.
Cao Shujie was not angry either. He said, "I am trying to improve the planting technology. You can decide whether you want it or not."
"I definitely want the ones your kid planted. I'll bring some more when the time comes and I'll give some to my uncle and my uncle." Cao Zhenduo is a smart person and has even thought of this for Cao Shujie.
.
"Thank you. I'll go and have a drink with you later." Cao Shujie said.
Cao Zhen smiled "hehe": "Don't be like this. If we brothers have anything to say, just say it directly. You have learned a lot after you came back from outside."
"Okay, I'll hang up first, I have something else to do." Cao Shujie hung up the phone after finishing speaking.
He then called Ma Changrong, the credit manager of the rural commercial bank in the town, and told him about sending him kiwi fruits tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and asked him which day he would be at the bank.
What a coincidence, Ma Changrong has to go to the city for a meeting and study tomorrow, so I can only give it to him the day after tomorrow.
He then called Song Zhichao and also called Cui Jingguo, who runs a livestock farm.
Including Chen Xingquan, who previously supplied Cao Shujie with barbed wire guardrails, Xia Changwei, who installed automatic irrigation equipment for him, and Ji Guangyou, who sold him fruit saplings, all called.
First of all, these people are all customers with whom Cao Shujie is prepared to maintain long-term cooperative relationships.
Secondly, these people themselves are relatively wealthy compared to the general public. They have more contact with wealthy friends, and they can afford some expensive items.
From this aspect, Cao Shujie's market positioning is very precise. He knew how to select customer groups from the beginning. Otherwise, he would not be able to continue his business if he faced a group of ordinary people with a monthly income of thousands of yuan every day.
.
Cao Shujie was on the phone for more than half an hour, until his sister Cao Huifang came over and asked him to pick kiwi fruits in the orchard on the mountain. Then he put down the hot phone and said to his sister: "Fangfang, go find our mother."
Get some plastic bags and let’s go to the mountains.”
"Brother, okay, I'll go right away." Cao Huifang was very happy and turned around to get a plastic bag from her mother, Wang Yuelan.
Looking at his sister's back, Cao Shujie thought that she was still a child who hadn't grown up after all. No wonder she could control Mengmeng. This was simply a battle between the older child and the younger child. From height, weight, to strength, they all took second place.
Mengmeng, who is at a disadvantage, can be beaten in all directions. No wonder she is afraid of her aunt.
This is a typical dimensionality reduction attack, and Cao Shujie has nothing to do.
Putting his cell phone with only 20% battery left in his trouser pocket, Cao Shujie came out of the bedroom, took the key, took his wife and children on an electric car and drove towards the orchard on the mountain.
His sister rode an electric tricycle and followed with her three classmates.
Soon they arrived at the mountain. Cao Shujie turned on the key on the wire fence gate. As soon as he pushed the gate open, Mengmeng broke away from her mother's hand and ran in.
"Mom, look." Mengmeng ran to the old orchard and looked at the kiwi fruit trees covered with goose egg-sized kiwis, her little face blossoming with joy.
When Cheng Xiaolin saw the harvest scene in front of her, her eyes widened in surprise, and her heart was filled with joy.
"Why so many?" Cheng Xiaolin asked subconsciously.
Cao Shujie ignored her and took the bag directly to the orchard to pick kiwi fruits.
He didn't deliberately pick big ones, because there was no need. With the abundant supply of nutrient solution, most fruits were about the same size.
In this way, Cao Shujie picked kiwi fruits very quickly. Before his wife Cheng Xiaolin started picking, Cao Shujie had already filled a full bag, put it on the ground, and then continued to fill another bag.
"Shujie, how much do you want to pretend?" Cheng Xiaolin asked him.
Cao Shujie didn't count. He said: "There are a lot of people to give away, the more the better. We can eat the rest ourselves that cannot be given away, or share it with the neighbors in front and behind."
"Shujie, you want to take it and give it away. I always think we should get some nice-looking packaging boxes. Wouldn't it be a bad idea to just put it in bags?" Cheng Xiaolin reminded him.
Cao Shujie nodded: "Don't worry, I've thought of it a long time ago. There are still some leftover packaging boxes at home that our parents used before. I can just fill them up later when I get home."
But he also said that the next step must be to make his own packaging boxes and register a brand trademark. This is for long-term considerations.
His sister Cao Huifang and three classmates were also very satisfied with the harvest. They never expected to have such a pleasant experience when they came back this time.
Especially when Deng Miaoshan and Huang Jingmin thought that the fruit saplings they planted would bear fruit next year, they felt indescribable excitement and expectation in their hearts.
After Cao Shujie picked four bags, he went to the breeding area to see the calves. At the same time, he took out the grass that had been cut in advance and scattered it on the ground. A total of 50 calves had enough to eat.
Others were picking here until almost five o'clock in the afternoon. Wang Yuelan, who had prepared dinner, called Cao Shujie and asked them to go back for dinner. Then they stopped picking and prepared to go home.
But who knew that Mengmeng was addicted to playing here, and she was unwilling to go back no matter what.
"Mengmeng, why don't you leave?" Cao Shujie asked him.
But before Mengmeng could answer him, Cao Huifang came over, looked at Mengmeng, and asked her seriously: "Mengmeng, I thought you said you didn't want to go home just now?"
Mengmeng was stunned when she saw her aunt. After she came to her senses, she ran towards her mother.
"Mom, Mom, save me!" Mengmeng shouted, running to her mother in one breath, hiding behind her, hugging her legs and not letting go.
Cheng Xiaolin looked at her sister-in-law, and then at her daughter who was so frightened that her face changed color, and thought to herself: "Mengmeng, a child who dislikes dogs, actually has a fearful owner. Could it be God's will, there must be an antidote for poisonous things."
?”
With this accident, Mengmeng couldn't stay here any longer. She yelled at her mother to hurry up and take her home by bike. She didn't want to stay any longer.
That expression really looked like he had seen a ghost.
…
That night, after dinner, Cao Shujie drove and took Deng Miaoshan, Huang Jingmin, and Zhang Na to a hotel in the town with his sister.
Before leaving, Cao Huifang also agreed with Deng Miaoshan and the other three to take the long-distance bus from the town to Yiling City at 9:30 tomorrow morning.
When Cao Shujie came back from town, he saw his parents and wife transferring the kiwi fruits in the bags into cartons.
The carton is not big and is a standard five-pound package.
Cao Jianguo looked at the kiwi fruits his son and others picked back. Each one was big and heavy.
After Cao Jianguo saw his son coming back, he suddenly asked: "Shujie, did you choose these kiwis specially?"
"No, they are all picked randomly on the vines." Cao Shujie said.
Cao Jianguo was stunned for a while, then muttered: "I usually don't pay attention, but many of your fruits have reached the standard of super fruits and first-class fruits. Isn't that right?"
He had planted the old orchard on the mountain before, and he knew that the quality of the fruits there was indeed better than that of the fields down the mountain, but it was not so good that there was a quality gap.
But obviously, this situation has occurred now.
"Dad, is there a problem with this?" Cheng Xiaolin was puzzled and asked her father-in-law.
Cao Jianguo said: "It's not a big problem, I'm just curious. Most of the fruits here are first-class fruits, there are fewer special-grade fruits, and there are almost no fruits below the second-grade fruit."
Hearing what her father-in-law said, Cheng Xiaolin breathed a sigh of relief. It's no problem. She said, "Dad, does Shujie water the water every now and then and give it enough nutrients?"
"Really?" Cao Jianguo couldn't figure it out.
Wang Yuelan saw that there were already more than a dozen boxes of kiwis packed in the room, but there were still many boxes waiting to be packed in the bags on the floor, and she felt distressed.
According to her son, these kiwi fruits were all meant to be given away. She wondered how much more such a good fruit would cost if sold.
"Alas!" she sighed.
Cao Jianguo knew what his wife was thinking and said quickly: "You old ladies, don't be short-sighted. Shujie is doing this for a better future."
"You don't need to tell me, I know it all!" Wang Yuelan glared at her wife and continued to pack the kiwis in silence.
The next morning, Cao Shujie put the boxed kiwis and some of the kiwis in bags into the trunk of the car, and then got into the driver's seat of the car. When his sister came out, he was going to take her to town.
Get on the long-distance bus to Yiling City.
In the hall, Wang Yuelan took 500 yuan and stuffed it into the pocket of her daughter Cao Huifang.
"Fangfang, take this money and don't be reluctant to eat it." Wang Yuelan told her daughter over and over again.
But Cao Huifang didn't want it. She waved her hand and said, "Mom, I have enough money here. Besides, I can earn 2,000 yuan in two months from my summer job, which is enough for my living expenses."
"I told you to just take it, why are you so long-winded?" Wang Yuelan said to her.
Cao Huifang looked at her mother's serious expression. She silently took it and put it in her pocket.
But I also told myself in my heart: "Save this money and don't spend it carelessly."
She didn't understand it before, but now she understands that it's really not easy to make some money!
…
In the temporary long-distance gas station bus in Qingshi Town, four young and energetic girls were waiting for the bus each carrying two heavy bags of kiwi fruits.
Cao Shujie stood aside and said to his sister: "Fangfang, when you go back, don't just work and make money. You should also use this time to study hard. In two years, you will be able to work and make money."
"Brother, you are so verbose, even more verbose than our mother." Cao Huifang said.
But Deng Miaoshan and Huang Jingmin standing next to her looked envious. They were both only children, and they were very envious that Cao Huifang had an older brother who took care of her.
The long-distance bus bound for Yiling City came over, and Cao Shujie said to them: "Get on the bus quickly, and remember to call me if you need anything."
"Okay!" Cao Huifang nodded: "Brother, you should hurry up and get busy."
"Um!"
Cao Shujie watched his sister and three classmates get on the bus each carrying two bags of kiwis. He casually gave the ticket inspector on the bus 200 yuan as their fare money. Ignoring his sister's shouts, he turned towards the parking place.
Go.
Go give gifts!
Over at the town government office building, Cao Shujie called out his classmate Shao Guobang.
Shao Guobang is the same age as him, of medium height, with black plate eyes.
"Old Cao, you are so mysterious, what is going on?" After Shao Guobang came out, he saw Cao Shujie and asked him directly.
"Lao Shao, I've always wanted to thank you for your help. I finally waited for the kiwi fruits in my orchard to ripen, so I came here to give you some today. Don't worry, this is not a bribe." Cao Shujie handed over the two boxes of kiwi fruits he was carrying and said.
: "Take it back and use bananas to ripen it, and try how it tastes."
"If you put it in a place with low ventilation and temperature, it will be fine for ten days and a half." Cao Shujie said.
Shao Guobang didn't want to pick him up, but Cao Shujie just left it on the roadside and drove away. He still had to go to Pingyuan County, where there were a lot of people.
At this time, Cao Zhen was having a meeting in the conference room of Mingbo Textile Co., Ltd.
In addition to him, Cao Zhen's uncle Lian Xuezhu, the actual controller of Mingbo Textile Factory, is also here.
In addition, Cao Zhen's second uncle Cao Jianwu is also here, and there are several middle-aged people who gathered together today to discuss the purchase of cotton for Mingbo Textile Factory.
Cotton prices have been rising in the past two years, and their intermediate processing plants are also under great cost pressure.
After the meeting, before noon, Cao Zhen returned to his back office, thinking about the content of the meeting just now, and he felt very heavy.
The rising price of cotton means rising prices of raw materials, which also means rising production costs for their factories.
Immediately, Cao Zhen thought of the results of his uncle's discussion with his second uncle. The company planned to rent land in Xinjiang to grow cotton on a large scale to reduce the cost of source raw materials.
"Uncle wants me to take charge of the work there?" Cao Zhen felt his balls hurt when he thought of this result.
