Enter Wutiaogou Ecological Organic Park from the rural cement road.
Li Xuebin slowed down the car and said, "We, father and daughter, haven't communicated with each other for a long time. Do you know which are the three major mango-producing areas in our country?"
"Of course I know."
"Then do you know the characteristics of each of these three major mango producing areas?"
"This..." Li Huixiu shook her head. Although her family runs a fruit business, if you don't go out of your way to understand these things, you may not necessarily know them clearly.
Li Xuebin said: "There are many kinds of mangoes in Hainan, and they mature very early and enter the market. Hainan has a mild and comfortable climate, with rain and heat in the same season. The soil is rich in minerals, which is more suitable for the cultivation of mangoes. The Guifei Mango in Hainan has thin skin and small core.
Juicy and thick meat.”
"The golden mango of various colors has sweet and soft flesh, thin skin and thick flesh, and the core is as thin as paper. The juice is rich, sweet and delicious, and the rich fruity aroma is refreshing. The imperial mango has an extremely beautiful appearance, and the skin is green and transparent.
Red, yellow with color when mature, without any spots, small core without fiber, sufficient moisture, and is praised by people for its excellent taste. There are also Guiqi mangoes..."
"The biggest feature of our Flower City is the big-faced mango, also known as Kate mango. The best Kate mango is as big as a small watermelon. The altitude here is high, the sunshine is long, the air is relatively dry, but there is no plum rain, no typhoon, sufficient sunshine, and a temperature difference between day and night.
It’s big, so the mangoes here are very sweet.” Li Xuebin said: “The development of mango planting in Huacheng is inseparable from the support of the government and the country. In recent years, the international environment has been very bad, and the world economy has suffered a severe setback.”
"A few years ago, the e-commerce giant took the lead in formulating the Huacheng mango export plan, which led to the exponential growth of the mango planting area in Huacheng in recent years. So far, the mango planting area in Huacheng and its affiliated counties is initially estimated to be more than 1 million acres.
Already."
"So much?" Li Huixiu took a deep breath.
Li Xuebin nodded with a smile and said: "The mangoes produced are about four to five million acres. The environment here is good, and the mango output can be very high... Last year's total output reached more than 700,000 tons. And then there's the
There are more than 50,000 mango growers."
"In recent years, the prices of various commodities have risen sharply. The price of fruits has also risen... The mangoes in Huacheng can be sold at a good price due to overall arrangements. However, some small growers, because of the remote location of the orchards, and the roads and orchards,
Management and other issues, the quality of the mangoes produced is average, but the price is very cheap." Li Xuebin glanced at his daughter, and then said: "With the current scale of mango planting in Huacheng, in another five years, the total output is likely to reach more than 1.5 million tons.
.This output is too high. If the export volume does not meet expectations and no external funds enter Huacheng to expand sales channels, it will be catastrophic."
"Sales can be expanded through e-commerce," Li Huixiu said.
Li Xuebin nodded.
Huacheng's mangoes can be sold until the end of the year, but this does not mean that the latest picking time for Huacheng's mangoes is one month. Last year's total output was 700,000 tons, and Huacheng Fruit Buying and Sales Company has some difficulties in handling it. But now
, there is no large-scale mango preservation warehouse construction project here in Huacheng.
Mango is a climacteric fruit and is difficult to store...
High-temperature and humid environments will accelerate decay, low temperatures are prone to freezing damage, and sealing will accelerate deterioration. Due to the latent contamination of anthrax, there is still the possibility of infection if improper handling during storage and other factors.
Li Xuebin didn't know whether his judgment was right or wrong, but he felt that the current planting area was too large. Without the matching processing capabilities, a crisis would occur sooner or later.
Li Xuebin can see these problems, and others must also see them.
Now that capital is involved, this is a good thing for Huacheng's mango industry, and it is also a good thing for him, who can take the opportunity to get out.
The mangoes in Huacheng are indeed good, especially in some large-scale organized production areas. The involvement of large capital is a good thing for the growers, but it may not be an independent fruit buying and selling company like them.
In the past, Li Xuebin and his company could still rely on these capitals to help these large capitals purchase fruits and earn some profits. But now the capitals themselves have come to an end.
"The mangoes in Huacheng, the earliest batch to be on the market, and the latest batch to be on the market, have the best prices. Sandwiched in the middle is a piece of bread..." Li Xuebin said, looking at the already blooming mangoes.
"bread?"
"You will be eaten." Li Xuebin smiled.
Li Huixiu failed to understand what Li Xuebin meant.
However, she has worshiped this master since she was a child...
Li Xuebin was born as a farmer, not a worker, and had no background or backing. Li Huixiu made investments and knew how difficult it would be to start a company simply by doing a fruit buying and selling business without the support of capital.
Li Xuebin's family history is also quite legendary.
"Dad, is it worth falling out with Uncle Zhou over Ye Mo?" Li Huixiu said.
"It's not all because of Ye Mo. It's not worth it. Seeing how Zhou Wenli looked like that, I wanted to slap him on the spot. What the hell." Li Xuebin shook his head and said, "Lao Zhou and I have different ideas. Let's separate.
That's fine. He didn't have any ideas. He just said that I wanted to split up the company and sell some of its inherent assets. He didn't agree at first. It took me several hours to convince him. And this construction
I also spent a lot of time trying to recruit Ye Mo into the organic fertilizer factory and Wutiaogou."
Li Xuebin felt that Zhou Minghai was too short-sighted and too conservative.
Take 2013 as an example, when the company was building a mango preservation warehouse, Li Xuebin originally wanted to acquire 500 acres of land, but after repeated persuasion by Zhou Minghai, he only acquired 70 acres of land.
Then in 2017, their company had to acquire land again and expand its warehouse, which led to the pace of development coming to a halt... Beili Company is definitely the largest fruit buying and selling company in Huacheng.
Of course, Zhou Minghai’s contribution to the company is still great. Without Zhou Minghai, Beili Company would not be able to achieve its current scale.
"The reason why I recruited Ye Mo to join the team is because Ye Mo is really powerful. If what he is doing now succeeds..." Li Xuebin said this, his eyes were shining.
Li Huixiu also took a deep breath.
I heard from my father that Ye Mo has cultivated the mother body of cold-resistant coconuts. I still can’t believe the cold-resistant coconuts unless I see them with my own eyes.
Huacheng has tried to cultivate cold-resistant coconut trees before, but failed.
If Ye Mo succeeds here...
"Even if he succeeds, can he still get a share of the pie from you?" Li Huixiu asked.
Li Xuebin looked at Li Huixiu: "Follow the wolf to eat meat, and follow the dog to eat shit. I don't need him to share my share of the pie. As long as we have a cooperative relationship, the benefits we will gain in the future will be great. Ye Mo not only cultivated cold-resistant coconut trees,
He is still trying to plant durians in Hainan. Compared with coconut trees, the Hainan durian project is the most important. He has transplanted durian saplings from Gaoshanping to Hainan. If it works, the results will be seen next year... If
It’s done, we’re going to Hainan to get the land.”
"Are you really planning to start a business again?" Li Huixiu said.
"Of course, I'm not old yet, so why can't I start a business again?" Li Xuebin said with a smile.
