Give the dog a bath and go upstairs to take a nap.
Afternoon:
After dinner, Ye Mo came to the melon field early.
The ripening time of cantaloupe is inconsistent, so you can only wait until all cantaloupe vines are picked before pruning.
According to the current time, the second crop of cantaloupe matures very late, and the quality is probably not as good as the first crop of cantaloupe, so there is no need to be so anxious.
Ye Mo hung a basket on his body and looked for ripe melons.
Lin Xiaomian also came out, wearing a straw hat and long clothes and long sleeves: "I won't pick cantaloupes anymore, I will be responsible for transportation. "I don't expect too much from you." Ye Mo said.
After a while, Ye Mo's parents came over.
"Dad, Mom." Lin Xiaomian shouted.
"Hey." Mom and dad responded with a smile.
"It's so hot, don't bask in the sun, go and rest in the awning, don't go to the fields," my mother said.
‘Not hot.’
Ye Ran, Chen Chen and others also came over.
They loaded the baskets onto the cart and sent them into the orchard.
"Let me tell you about the mature cantaloupe... Look at the skin, it is smooth... and there are vertical stripes with dense white spots, which means the cantaloupe is mature. The most important thing is that it has fragrance." Ye Mo said: "
Smell it after picking it off. If there is no fragrance, put it alone.
"Brother, how much do these melons cost per pound?" Ye Ran picked up a cantaloupe and smelled it. It smelled so good.
"18 yuan.
"So expensive
Ye Mo shrugged: "You must use scissors when picking, be careful, and distinguish carefully. Don't pick unripe cantaloupes.
Second uncle, Ye Zhi and others are also coming.
Tang Xu and his family were behind and came over later.
Ye Mo then explained to them how to identify ripe cantaloupes.
The cantaloupe vine is very lush. Look for the ripe cantaloupes under the leaves.
Picking these cantaloupes is much more troublesome than picking watermelons.
However, there are not many ripe cantaloupes, so the transportation process is much easier.
The four women, Ye Ran and Lin Xiaomian, had their nails done yesterday. They came to work today and were only responsible for transporting cantaloupe. They drove the car and delivered the baskets of cantaloupe to the awning, and then sprayed some water to cool down the cantaloupe.
After four o'clock, Gao Yuan and Li Xuebin came over. The car that came today was not a large truck, but a cold chain truck.
There are plastic baskets inside the cold chain truck.
"Mr. Ye." Gao Yuan shouted.
"Hey, Ye Mo put down what he was doing and trotted over.
"Has the cantaloupe cooled down?" Gao Yuan asked.
"The temperature has dropped.
"Help me load the car."
Ye Mo called his aunt, Lin Xiaomian and others to come over and help load the car.
These cantaloupes must first be covered with fruit protection nets, and then put into baskets. Plastic baskets are also plastic baskets specially used for holding cantaloupes.
The basket has 6 slots.
These fruits are expensive, and the peels are relatively tender. If they are transported directly without any protection, they are afraid of being bumped.
For a pound of cantaloupe costing 18 yuan, these extra loading steps are normal.
"How many cantaloupes can you pick today?" Li Xuebin looked at the not so many cantaloupes in the awning and said:
He said, "Don't miss Mr. Gao's car."
Once it’s full, it’s gone.’
"Picking cantaloupe should be slower. Don't worry, there should be no problem loading two trucks.
"I picked it today, will it be available tomorrow?" Li Xuebin asked.
"It will probably take a day." Ye Mo said, "These melons haven't matured in large quantities yet.
It was just him and a driver on Gao Yuan's side.
Li Xuebin is here too, and they help pack the cantaloupe.
After loading up the cart, it was already past five o'clock.
Ye Mo asked everyone to come over to rest, cut some cantaloupe for everyone to taste, and then picked a Black Beauty watermelon.
Black Beauty watermelon is extremely sweet when fully ripe, even sweeter than cantaloupe.
The sweetness of cantaloupe is fragrant and sweet.
This watermelon just tastes like an ordinary watermelon, and then it’s particularly sweet.
"Are any of the reticulated melons ripe?" Li Xuebin asked.
"It doesn't seem like it," Ye Mo said. He had looked at it in the morning and found that the reticulated melons had no fragrance yet.
"Can I take one off and have a look?"
"No problem." Ye Mo said.
"Come with me and take a look." Li Xuebin said with a smile.
It's still a bit far to walk to the cantaloupe.
Li Xuebin lit a cigarette for Ye Mo and said: "These melons will definitely sell for a good price if sent to Guangzhou.'
"Yeah." Ye Mo nodded and lit the cigarette.
"Do you have a good relationship with Mr. Gao?" Li Xuebin asked.
"It's not bad." Ye Mo said.
"I just said it directly... If you only sell this batch of cantaloupe to me, I can give you 25 yuan," Li Xuebin said.
Ye Mo's eyebrows twitched slightly and he looked at Li Xuebin: "So high?'
"but
Li Xuebin smiled and changed the subject: "We have already agreed on the price, you won't just sit down and raise the price.
Bar.
"Of course not." Ye Mo was already very satisfied with the price of 18 yuan per catty. Besides, the 25 yuan per catty he said was just an afterthought. Without Gao Yuan, who knows how much his quotation would have been...
They were the only fruit sellers Ye Mo knew.
"Will the cantaloupe also have two crops?'
"meeting.
"If the quality of the second crop of melons is the same as now, I will cover it all and give you the price now... 30 yuan per catty." Li Xuebin raised the price again.
"This..." Ye Mo couldn't see Li Xuebin, hesitated for a moment, and agreed: "Okay. But I estimate that the quality of the second crop will definitely not be as good as the first crop.'
"Of the cantaloupe I purchased before, the second crop was better than the first crop. Manage it well and give it a try." Li Xuebin said with a smile.
Ye Mo nodded and said, "Can you tell me how much these cantaloupes will cost per catty when delivered to the Guangzhou market?"
"I sent over a dozen samples before, and the negotiated price was 30 yuan per catty." Li Xuebin did not hide anything, and said with a smile: "If the quantity is smaller, for example... if there are only a dozen tons, the price will be 50 yuan per catty."
Yuan, it is also possible. The quantity here is estimated to be about one hundred tons.
In the square market, a dealer gave a price of 40 yuan, but asked for exclusive sales in Guangdong. The purchase volume of the dealer was also large, and he ordered 35 tons at a time.
Zhou Minghai did not agree.
This batch of cantaloupes was used by Zhou Minghai to expand channels.
Ye Mo's batch of cantaloupe is absolutely rare. As long as you put these cantaloupes on display, customers will come to your door.
There are cantaloupes piled up on the pergola, and the aroma can be smelled dozens of meters away.
So if the cantaloupe is placed in the market, can’t you smell its aroma from dozens of meters away?
For sales people, it would be too troublesome to go out and run the channels by yourself. With these melons around, you should be able to meet a lot of new fruit vendors.
The quality of these melons will definitely cause a sensation when sent to the market.
Say it again
Li Xuebin and his company have several competitors.
There is a fruit purchasing and sales company in Huacheng that is similar in size to them. Its main sales market is also in Guangzhou, and it is in the same market as them.
There are also two fruit purchasing and selling companies of the same scale in Foshan Fruit Market.
Foshan and Guangzhou are two big cities very close to each other.
These companies are all competitors. After all, their fruit purchasing places are all in Huacheng and surrounding cities. Everyone knows these companies well:
When these melons are put on the market, the other three companies will definitely inquire about the origin of the cantaloupes. If Li Xuebin is approached by the other three companies, he will tell the truth directly and honestly, without hiding anything.
When doing fruit wholesale, it is not easy to expand channels.
One, with the same quality, your fruit can be cheaper.
Second, you can come up with fruits that others don’t have. Fruits that others don’t have can be varieties...or they can be quality, the best of the best, the best of the best.
Even the most common citrus.
Everyone thinks that citrus is very cheap. But for some top-quality citrus, the purchase price in the field can reach more than 10 yuan. In the market, the distribution price can even reach 20 yuan.
There are variety reasons and seasonal reasons.
But these melons from Ye Mo can definitely be used as new varieties. The season is only April, and there are very few cantaloupes on the market. No matter what kind of fruit, as long as it is the best, it can sell for a good price. If it can surpass the best,
, then it can be sold at a price that more than 99% of fruit farmers will look up to.
Li Xuebin's business is based on quantity as well as quality.
The fruits sold by their company are basically inspected by Li Xuebin himself, and their reputation in the Guangzhou market has always been good. However, it is still not easy to enter the most high-end fruit market.
These melons may be the stepping stone for their company to open up the high-end fruit market.
Ye Mo was stunned for a while when he heard Li Xuebin's price for the second crop of cantaloupe. So, the price Li Xuebin just mentioned was 25 yuan.
For about one hundred tons of cantaloupe, the price difference is 7 yuan, which is a price difference of more than one million?
I'm going!!!
To be honest, Ye Mo seemed to have something tumbling in his heart. He looked at Li Xuebin with a look of resentment on his face.
If you can offer such a high price, please tell me earlier.
My relationship with Gao Yuan is actually not that good.
