Everyone sat and rested for a while, ate some watermelon, waited for Lin Xiaomian to bring tea, drank some more tea, and then continued working.
"The steel frames over there..." Li Xuebin pointed to the cleaned melon fields and said, "Are those steel frames used to build greenhouses?"
"Yeah." Ye Mo nodded.
“How many acres are we going to build?”
"One hundred acres." Ye Mo said.
"There should be two to three hundred acres of open space here. Only one hundred acres of greenhouses can be built?"
"What I built is a greenhouse with a top height of 4.5 meters, and the cost is a bit high," Ye Mo said.
"You have made a lot of money this year. Two to three hundred acres of greenhouses should be enough."
"The houses have been built, the roads in Gaoshanping have been hardened... and the one hundred acres of greenhouses have all been built, it is estimated to cost five million," Ye Mo said.
"Such a high cost?"
"It's a wide-body greenhouse. There is also a cement road inside the greenhouse. Ventilation and irrigation must be installed later..." Ye Mo said: "I am a little nervous about this 100-acre greenhouse."
"Since we have decided to build a greenhouse, we have to do it in one step." Li Xuebin said with a smile: "Tell me the difference, and treat it as an advance payment for the fruit."
“It’s a bit different.”
"Is five million enough?"
Ye Mo looked at Li Xuebin: "Lend it to me?"
"Advance payment. Borrowing is too much." Li Xuebin said with a smile: "I believe in your ability, five million...it's nothing. Just ask, and the money...will be given to you the next day."
Li Xuebin watched Ye Mo's ability.
Five million is too small.
Besides, Ye Mo used the money for production. He probably also planted watermelons and cantaloupes. Then when these melons mature, it is not him who comes to harvest them.
Li Xuebin was amazed by the melons at Ye Mo, especially the cantaloupe.
Because of Ye Mo's previous cantaloupes, Li Xuebin now specializes in purchasing high-quality cantaloupes. In June alone, their company sold more than 500 tons of cantaloupes. You must know that before, their company did not sell cantaloupes.
Ye Mo builds a greenhouse and will definitely grow autumn melons and winter melons. Now he is offering five million, which is equivalent to an advance payment. Li Xuebin is particularly assured of the quality of Ye Mo's fruits...
Ye Mo was a little moved by Li Xuebin's suggestion.
"Let me think about it. I don't know when this hundred-acre greenhouse will be completed..." Ye Mo said.
"If you need money, just ask me anytime." Li Xuebin said with a smile, took out a cigarette and handed one to Ye Mo: "Are these greenhouses going to plant watermelons, cantaloupes and reticulated melons?"
"Yeah. Prepare to plant more cantaloupes and reticulated melons and less watermelons." Ye Mo said: "It shouldn't be difficult to reach gift-level watermelons in greenhouses. If the first batch of gift-level watermelons is released in November, the price
How much can it get?”
"My purchase price?" Li Xuebin took out a lighter and helped Ye Mo light the cigarette.
"Yeah." Li Xuebin's igniting behavior made Ye Mo a little flattered.
"The purchase price depends on the quantity and variety. It is recommended that we only grow these three varieties, Red Heart Golden Beauty, Bee Little Watermelon, and Spring Ruby. Although these three varieties are difficult to transport, if they can reach gift level,
If it is shipped in November, it will be conservatively estimated to be around 6 yuan, and in December, it will be around 7 yuan. If it is shipped in January, February... conservatively it will be 89 yuan per catty."
Li Xuebin continued: "This is a relatively conservative estimate. The premise is that it must reach the gift level and the quantity cannot be large. The specifics still depend on the market. In winter, there are still some places that can produce watermelons, such as the dry and hot valleys of Yunnan.
District, Hainan, and Guangzhou." They all also need to build greenhouses.
Gift-grade watermelons, that is, the melon shape is almost perfect. Most of Ye Mo's first-crop watermelons have reached gift-grade. Some of the second-crop melons have entered the gift-grade threshold...
It is not easy to grow gift-quality watermelons.
I saw on the Internet that the wholesale price of watermelons in melon sheds reaches eighty, nine, ten, or more than ten yuan per catty, which are all gift-grade. One characteristic of gift-grade watermelons is that the output is... small.
"After my greenhouse is built, I would like to ask Boss Li to help me refer to the planting quantities of various fruits," Ye Mo said.
"Okay." Li Xuebin smiled and nodded.
It's safe.
The yield of greenhouse melons should be higher than the yield of sweet potatoes.
This year, Ye Mo's melon harvest made his company earn millions. This profit is scary...
Usually, they collect tens of thousands of tons of mangoes, with both losses and profits... Just last year, the profit from the mangoes was a total of 13.88 million yuan. You must know that that is tens of thousands of tons of mangoes... The acquisition cost was close to 300 million yuan.
.It’s scary.
Ye Mo's watermelon, cantaloupe, reticulated melon...the total amount is less than 200 acres, but it has brought a profit of 7 to 8 million to his company.
Li Xuebin has been in the fruit business for more than ten years. This is the first time he has encountered such a high-profit business.
It is better to go for high-quality products, because the price of high-quality fruits is high and the profit is also high.
This year, Li Xuebin is trying to open up channels for high-quality fruits. Except for Ye Mo, who is making a lot of money here, other fruits have both profit and loss. Generally speaking, they still make money.
"If you don't have enough money to build a greenhouse, just tell me. When the fruit is produced later, just deduct the money directly from it." Li Xuebin said with a smile: "Fruit cultivation in winter is risky, just in case, I mean just in case.
Ha, if you don’t plant the fruits well in winter, the fruits will be the same next year.”
"Winter greenhouse planting, to be honest, I am worried. The investment in this greenhouse is too high." Ye Mo said: "And with the current manpower, it should be easy to manage a hundred acres of greenhouses, but no matter how many
There are one hundred acres of greenhouses, and there probably won’t be enough manpower.”
"If we don't have enough manpower, just hire more people. If you need someone, I'll introduce it to you."
"No need for now...I'll talk to you again when I need it."
"Okay." Li Xuebin touched the fan hanging around his neck and said, "This thing is really good. I feel a lot cooler when I wear it. How much does it cost for one? I will buy some someday to distribute to my workers."
"More than two hundred yuan each." Ye Mo said as a trailer drove in backwards.
Only one cart of watermelons will be loaded tonight.
The remaining watermelon will be packed tomorrow morning...
It's too hot in the afternoon. These big watermelons have a lot of internal pressure. It's best to cool them down overnight and then load them into the car.
It's still early.
Ye Mo also went over to help carry the watermelons.
Li Xuebin played with the hanging fan for a while, then took a walk to the cantaloupe field. Take a look at the cantaloupe...
The cantaloupe vines are very dense, the vines are still very healthy, and the leaves are green and lush. The cantaloupe is hidden under the lush leaves...
Li Xuebin took a video and many photos.
Watermelons, cantaloupes, etc... When the melons are about to mature, the leaves of the melon vines are most likely to wither and age. But the leaves of the melon vines here are still very fresh even now.
I heard Ye Mo's theory about managing these watermelons and cantaloupes before. If you want to produce good watermelons and cantaloupes, you must first manage the melon vines. If the melon vines are well managed, good melons will naturally grow. Now it seems that this theory is very good.
.
The cantaloupe vines are growing very well, and the reticulated melons next to them, the vines and leaves are also very fresh. I really don’t know how to manage these melons... they are so good.
