Before purchasing large quantities of fruits, Li Xuebin and others had to do market research.
How much fruit can they sell through their channels?
The greenhouse watermelons of Gaoshanping can be said to be the best among gift melons, with almost perfect appearance, high sweetness and good taste...
The price of these watermelons is already high.
"9, 11, 11... how about this price?" Li Xuebin asked.
“It’s quite satisfactory and not expensive. But now that it’s winter, there are fewer people eating watermelon.
There are three hundred acres in total, including the gravel slopes.
The area is three hundred acres, but the output... is far more than what three hundred acres should produce.
Especially the greenhouses in Gaoshanping, the output is really scary.
The watermelons at Ye Mo's place are not yet ripe, but a few have bloomed. The flesh is still white, but very sweet.
When it is fully mature, the sweetness will not be bad. I just don’t know how it tastes.
Negotiate the price and get it based on the sample. The sample sent before was very good.
"At this price, if we can't get big export orders, how much can we earn?" Li Xuebin rubbed his stubble.
"Send it to Guangzhou, 12 yuan, 13 yuan, 13 yuan... no worries about sales." Zhou Minghai said: "Send it over and it will be sold out. If the price is higher, it will take time to sell."
Li Xuebin rolled his eyes: "This profit is not low."
"We also lent 7 million yuan to Ye Mo, and we were not allowed to keep the price as low as possible," Zhou Minghai said.
Don't underestimate the price difference, the quantity is huge.
One truck weighs about 20 tons. If there is a profit of 1.5 yuan, one truck can earn 60,000 yuan.
The watermelon I sent earlier is so good. It has thin skin, lots of water, crisp texture, and high sweetness...almost perfect.
A pound of watermelon from a certain brand costs more than 30 yuan, which is far inferior to the watermelon from Gaoshanping.
"The export process of watermelons has not been completed yet?" Li Xuebin frowned and said.
"We have already reached the customs inspection stage. Our company has never exported watermelons... Not to mention our company, as far as I know, the entire Huacheng has never exported watermelons. The speed here is already very fast." Zhou Minghai said.
Li Xuebin said: "If the beach opens the market for these watermelons, we will make a lot of money."
Zhou Minghai thought for a while and said: "Ye Mo should know about the watermelon industry and sign the contract. In addition, let's see if we can sign the cantaloupe contract in advance. Let's take a gamble."
"Yeah." Li Xuebin let out a long breath and said, "After the other party receives the goods, ask them if they want to place additional orders. Then ask the fruit dealers in the Bear Country too."
"It's now over minus ten degrees Celsius in Wooly Bear Country, so it's probably hard to sell watermelons."
"Just ask. Li Donglai's company also has relations with Brunei and Singapore. You can also ask."
"This..." Zhou Minghai shook his head and said, "Let Li Donglai know that the price of watermelons purchased from Ye Mo in the future must not be higher."
"Yes, forget it. If the market in Saudi Arabia can be opened, there won't be enough watermelons in Gaoshanping for export." Li Xuebin smiled.
…
Gaoshanping.
Tang Xun took a deep breath, watched Ye Mo hang up the phone, and said, "With such a high price, aren't you afraid that Li Xuebin won't accept it?"
"Someone bid much higher than Li Xuebin." Ye Mo shrugged.
Gao Yuan also came to see Ye Mo's watermelon and was offered 10 yuan per catty. But the quantity was not large, so Ye Mo refused.
Now there is also an offer from Wei Jianming.
Although the watermelons are about to mature, Ye Mo is not particularly anxious to sell them.
Just pick the watermelons when they are ripe and store them in a warehouse. Keep them ventilated and these watermelons can be stored for a long time.
"Who is so perverted?" Tang Xun stared.
"You don't know..." Ye Mo smiled and said, "How much do you want to sell the watermelon over there for 1 catty?"
"The higher the better." Tang Xun said: "If you sell it cheaply, you won't be able to get your money back."
One acre of greenhouse requires about 10 tons of organic fertilizer, which is 8,800 yuan.
Water, electricity...these two expenses are not very big.
But heating…
Tang Xun did some calculations and found that up to now, he had spent 91,600 yuan in gas money.
Then add labor costs. This labor cost refers to the cost of hiring people to do the work, not counting the labor input of their families.
In total, the cost of a greenhouse is about 17,000 yuan.
The greenhouses in Tang Xun are about 1 acre each, with an average of about 1,200 plants.
The survival rate of his seedlings is high. When he got the seedlings, he had replanted them and planted them in the greenhouse together.
One of the greenhouses is managed by Ye Mo, with one plant and two vines, one vine and two melons... After sitting on the watermelon, the watermelon expanded slowly and there were many crooked melons. The unicorn melon was shaped into a crispy mouth the size of a little golden phoenix.
.The melon vine also looks older...
The other four greenhouses have two vines per plant, one vine and one melon, and they are growing well.
The rest are one plant and one vine, one vine and one melon. These greenhouses have already grown two crops...and there are three greenhouses of reticulated melons.
In Baoyigua's greenhouse, watermelons grow very well, weighing about six to seven pounds each. The shape of the melon is also very beautiful. If there are no internal problems, it is basically a first-class melon quality, which can barely be considered a gift watermelon. The approximate output is about 7,000 pounds.
.
"How much does it cost to plant 1 acre over there?"
"Ten thousand seventy-eight." Tang Xun said.
"so tall?"
"For one acre of greenhouse, ten tons of organic fertilizer are used."
"There are still two or three crops in the greenhouse... those ten tons of organic fertilizer cannot be included in the cost of a batch of watermelons," Ye Mo said speechlessly.
Tang Xun smiled and said: "In the future, the temperature will get colder at night, and the time to turn on the heater will become longer and longer. The cost of watermelons will also be higher..."
"Have you calculated the yield per acre?" Ye Mo said, "The approximate yield."
"I estimate... it should be 7,000 pounds."
"In this case, at 3 yuan per catty, you will make a profit." Ye Mo said with a smile: "Not bad."
"How much can I sell for those Kirin melons?"
"At least 5 yuan."
"Only 5 yuan?"
"I mean at the very least." Ye Mo said: "Look at the quotation given by Li Xuebin. I guess... it's only about seven yuan at most. How much can it sell for 1 catty? You don't have an idea in your mind."
"I asked in the group that first-grade melons from greenhouses in Yunnan wholesale for 7.6 yuan." Tang Xun said: "My ideal price is 7 yuan. Of course, the higher the price, the better."
Ye Mo nodded and said, "By the way, what do you want to see me for?"
"It's okay. Just come over and take a look..." Tang Xun said: "The second crop of melons over here has begun. When will the second crop of watermelons over here begin?"
"That's why I kept Fujiko." Ye Mo said.
He has one vine and two melons, which has already affected the melon vines. Now he has started to keep the vines, and after the watermelons are sold out, he will have to cultivate them for a while before planting the melons.
Tang Xun also wanted to see other greenhouses.
The output of Ye Mo's greenhouse is too high. Even if it can only produce one crop, it will be a profit in one go.
