Chapter 218 Making a lot of money (4200) Please vote for me
Zuo Le drove his 2.0T manual green quiet two-wheel drive urban Harvard h6 and arrived very quickly. When they saw Zuo Le's people, Nie Bin and the others lost the last bit of luck in their hearts.
"Who are these?" Zuo Le was also puzzled when he saw Nie Bin and the others.
Boss Cao has guests here.
Cao Shujie pointed at Nie Bin and the others and said, "Boss Zuo, what a coincidence today. Boss Nie and the others are also here to harvest strawberries."
"..." Nie Bin didn't know what to say.
Zuo Le looked at Nie Bin and the other six, and then at Cao Shujie. He always felt that he had come at the wrong time today, as if he had been taken advantage of unintentionally?
He thought to himself: "Should I come here at another time?"
Cheng Xiaolin heard about her husband's arrangement and dialed the number of 'Fuxing Hotel' stored in her mobile phone.
Tell the other party that he wants the best set of dishes and deliver them to Cao Shujie's house in the north end of Caojiazhuang.
The other party knew where he was as soon as he heard it, and he promised not to delay Cao Shujie's affairs.
Cao Shujie's reputation is not only spread in this one-third of an acre of Caojiazhuang.
Outside of Caojiazhuang, people in many places privately say that the leader of Caojiazhuang is ‘Cao Shujie and Boss Cao’. After all, how many people have invested millions in the village and are working hard on their careers?
How many people give back to the village from time to time?
How many people can hold up their backs at critical moments?
The Green and Yellow Transport Team used to drive engineering vehicles and speed cars back and forth, but who dared to stand up and stop them and compete with them?
After all the calculations, there is only one Cao Shujie now!
In the eyes of others, Cao Shujie not only dared to think, he actually did it!
Who dares to move the two cement stone piers from Caojiazhuang to the village and the four cement stone piers from the Yellow River barrage dam that belongs to Caojiazhuang?
The Qinghuang transport team was so rampant and backed by the Yellow River, they didn't dare to go over and provoke Cao Shujie.
Fuxing Hotel is a hotel in the town, but the owner of the hotel knows better what kind of people to accompany!
Cao Shujie is definitely a character!
…
After Zuo Le came over, he greeted Cao Shujie, and after chatting for a few words with Nie Bin and others who were working in a circle, he took Cao Shujie to see strawberries.
"Boss Cao, when I first came here at the beginning of the month, the strawberry fruit was still a little bit ripe. I figured it would be ripe now." Zuo Le has never forgotten the strawberry fruit here in Cao Shujie during this time.
After he just purchased a batch of fruits from other provinces, he hurriedly drove here.
On the way, he was always afraid of missing the strawberry market at Cao Shujie's side, so he didn't dare to stop for a long rest and forced himself back to Yiling City, Dongshan Province.
But if he didn't say it, Cao Shujie wouldn't know these things.
The moment Cao Shujie turned his head, he saw Zuo Le's bloodshot eyes. He was still a little puzzled and said: "Boss Zuo, you are famous now, are you still working alone?"
"No way, I am the vanguard. I personally go out to check and purchase the fruits, and there is a team behind me that is responsible for the rest of the work." Zuo Le did not hide this from Cao Shujie.
He said: "If you think about it, can I handle so much work on my own?"
There was nothing wrong with what he said, and Cao Shujie felt a little relieved.
When Nie Bin and the others saw Zuo Le pulling Cao Shujie towards the strawberry garden, they couldn't sit still in the hut and hurried to catch up.
However, when they heard Zuo Le say that he had come to see Cao Shujie at the beginning of the month, Nie Bin and others realized that the cooperation between Zuo Le and Cao Shujie might be very deep.
Zhang Tianzhi came close to Nie Bin and whispered: "Brother Bin, compared with Boss Zuo, it seems that our advantage is not big."
"Try your best to fight for it." As Nie Bin followed him and walked to the strawberry field, he figured out something.
Why is a person like Zuo Le, who specializes in pouring high-quality fruits, so familiar with Cao Shujie? It can also be seen that he intends to maintain a 'friendly cooperative' relationship with Cao Shujie.
In Nie Bin's opinion, in business, Zuo Le is definitely profitable with Cao Shujie, and he makes a lot of money.
"What price should I give for strawberries?" Nie Bin thought about this question in his mind.
The hut is not very far from the strawberry field, and it didn't take long to reach the end of the strawberry field.
Zuo Le looked over and saw a piece of light red strawberry fruit, as well as some green and white strawberry fruits. Zuo Le was very satisfied: "Boss Cao, please set a price. I want all the first wave of ripe ones."
.”
"Damn it!" Nie Bin wanted to curse when he heard Zuo Le's coaxing tone.
Is it great if your business grows big?
This was the second time Cao Shujie heard this sentence today. He subconsciously looked back at Nie Bin and the others behind him and thought it was really interesting.
"Lao Zuo, just now Boss Nie offered me 20 yuan per catty, but I didn't even sell it. I kept it for you..."
Zuo Le didn't believe a word of what Cao Shujie just said, except for the first half and the second half.
When Nie Bin heard what Cao Shujie said so confidently, he was speechless. Who was he thinking about?
Is this how I'm being used?
But Cao Shujie's expression did not change as he spoke.
Seeing that Zuo Le didn't respond to him at all, he stopped nagging.
"I'll give you 30 per catty, will you sell it?" Zuo Le saw that Cao Shujie had no intention of bidding, so he didn't hesitate and directly called out the price, and the price was high.
The price was 50% higher than the price given by Nie Bin. This price made Nie Bin stunned.
He didn't expect Zuo Le to be so courageous. Aren't you afraid of losing money?
But Zuo Le didn't wait for Cao Shujie to speak, and continued: "Boss Cao, I think the color of these strawberries is about the same. If you agree, you can find someone to pick it tomorrow morning, and I will directly arrange for someone to go to Magic City to sell it.
"
Strawberries can be stored for a very short time, so you can't delay this thing for even a moment.
According to Zuo Le's idea, he wanted to hurry up and condense the whole process to death.
Zuo Le's price basically impressed Cao Shujie, but he was very cheap and subconsciously said: "You can add a little more."
He just said it casually, but as soon as he finished speaking, Zuo Le said: "Then I will add another two yuan, that's it. If I add the profit I make, it will be less."
He said: "I still support a large group of people, so you have to let me make money."
"32?" Cao Shujie thought it would work, and he stretched out his hand towards Zuo Le: "Deal!"
But at this moment, Nie Bin and the others next to them were a little reluctant, and Nie Bin also shouted: "Boss Cao, I will also pay 32, give me part of it, okay?"
He didn't say anything about vicious competition like adding 1 yuan or 5 yuan more. He knew that even if he said it, Cao Shujie might not agree, so it would be better to be more frank.
As a result, before Cao Shujie could speak, Zuo Le said: "Boss Nie, this first wave is actually not much, so don't grab it. I won't grab the second wave, it's yours."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Shujie said: "I can't let you take them all away. I have to leave some for picking!"
"Besides, my buddy Cao Zhen is getting married. I have to leave some for him. The day after tomorrow, each table will receive two kilograms of strawberries as standard."
But Zuo Le disagreed. He said: "Boss Cao, these strawberries are not many in total, and you are still picking them and giving them away..."
Before Zuo Le finished speaking, Cao Shujie shook his head and said, "It's different. Don't try to persuade me on this. If Boss Nie wants it in the second wave, I'll give you half."
Nie Bin didn't think much about it this time and agreed directly.
He felt that if he didn't agree, he might not even get half of this.
…
Don't look at what they just discussed about the first wave of maturity and the second wave of maturity. It seems like there are a lot of them, but in fact it's really not much.
In this way, Cao Shujie has planted a total of 20 acres of strawberries here. Based on the normal yield per mu, the strawberry production per mu can range from 3,000 to 5,000 kilograms. It mainly depends on the management skills of the growers.
Of course there are also ones with higher yields.
In addition, strawberries have unlimited inflorescences, so their picking period is relatively long.
It can only take a month or two, but if managed well, it can take several months to harvest.
However, for open-air planting like Cao Shujie, the picking period is relatively short, but Cao Shujie believes that two or three months will be no problem.
What Zuo Le wants to pick is the first wave of ripe ones, and it will take a few days for Nie Bin and the others to pick the second wave.
They were still talking on the edge of the strawberry field when Cheng Xiaolin came over and asked them to sit in the hut and continue eating strawberries.
While passing by the kiwi fruit orchard, Zuo Le asked him: "Boss Cao, when will the fruit grow here?"
"The fastest will be the second half of next year, if not the year after next." Cao Shujie looked at the well-growing kiwi fruit trees and apple trees, and he felt very proud.
But he also knew that even if he had added a lot of nutrient solution, there was still a process of plant growth. This was because manpower was sometimes limited, and there were some things that he had no control over.
"It would be great if I had magical powers. In one day and night, the fruit trees would bloom and bear fruit." Cao Shujie thought beautifully in his heart.
Walking to the hut, Cao Shujie did not go in directly this time. He took Zuo Le and Nie Bin to the west side of the hut. There was an oilcloth covering it and another blanket under the oilcloth.
After opening them all, Zuo Le and Nie Bin discovered that there were piles of small pots underneath. These pots were the same color and they could be divided into two categories at a glance. There was another thing in common, no matter it was a large pot,
, or small basins, they are all mesh holes, breathable!
When he saw these pots, before Zuo Le could figure out what they were for, Nie Bin said first, "Boss Cao, are these the strawberry pots you just mentioned?"
"Enemies!" Cao Shujie nodded: "Let me tell you, these pots alone cost me more than 60,000 yuan."
After finishing speaking, he turned to look at Zuo Le: "What do you think about using these pots to hold strawberries early tomorrow morning?"
He pointed to the pots and said: "There are two types of pots here. The larger pot can hold 3 kilograms flat, and the smaller pot can hold 2 kilograms flat."
"I won't charge you extra."
"Okay, I think it works!" Zuo Le was very happy. He originally thought of packing the strawberries in foam plastic boxes, but the problem was that it was difficult to separate them after they were transported to the place.
This small basin now solves this problem perfectly.
At that time, he can completely decide whether to sell the pots, how much the big pots cost, or how much the small pots cost, perfect!
Thinking of this, Zuo Le felt even happier.
He said to Cao Shujie: "Boss Cao, it's still the same old rules. You can find people from your village. How about a salary of 35 yuan for 8 hours?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Shujie shook his head: "This is not possible. The prices you mentioned are all based on the old calendar. I gave my employees a salary increase at the beginning of this year. Now it only costs 45 yuan for 8 hours."
Zuo Le didn't consider this matter at all. He nodded: "Okay, just follow the price you mentioned, 45 yuan for 8 hours. Tomorrow morning, you can find 20 people for me. The sooner the better."
Pick the strawberries while the sun is not strong and keep them for a while.
Of course Cao Shujie has no problem.
Before noon, the staff of Fuxing Hotel drove a van to deliver the best set of dishes ordered by Cheng Xiaolin.
Cao Shujie took a look and saw that there were chicken, fish and meat. For this standard, it would cost less than 2,800 yuan in the capital, but at Fuxing Hotel, it would cost less than 500 yuan.
After Cheng Xiaolin paid him, the hotel staff left first, and he would come back to collect the dishes in the evening.
…
That afternoon, the long-lost sound of Peking Opera sounded again in the sky above Caojiazhuang, and then a familiar voice came.
"Young and old men in Caojiazhuang, I am Cao Shujie. If you are willing to work in my orchard and help pick strawberries at around four o'clock tomorrow morning, just come over. This time, there are only 20 people. The first one to arrive will be admitted."
Cao Shujie didn't mention the salary on the loudspeaker, but he did say that he would come to his wife Cheng Xiaolin to sign up early tomorrow morning.
Because he would take a bus with Cao Zhen's father, Cao Jianzong, to Yiling City Railway Station early tomorrow morning to pick up people from Patiguli's hometown.
Although you have to earn money, you also have to deal with small things. Cao Shujie is not ambiguous at all in this regard.
During this period, Cao Zhen also called Cao Shujie and asked him if he still had time to go to Yiling City Railway Station tomorrow.
Cao Shujie said something on the phone: "Brother Zhen, believe me, you don't have to think about anything, just do your own thing. I will take you to the city train station early tomorrow morning and wait for me to pick you up."
I'll call you when I get married, and you and your sister-in-law will wait at the county guest house, and we'll meet there."
In the past, Patiguli also worked as a temporary wedding venue at the county guest house.
Otherwise, Xinjiang Changji is too far away and would not be suitable at all.
Not going through this process would seem disrespectful to the woman.
Hearing what Cao Shujie said, Cao Zhen didn't ask another question. He finally said: "Okay, let's see you tomorrow."
That night, Cao Shujie told his wife and parents that they would weigh Zuo Le and settle the accounts tomorrow morning. Cao Shujie had to leave early in the morning.
And this is indeed the case. Cao Shujie got up at around 3 a.m. and took a look at the orchard. At this time, there were already seven people waiting to sign up to work.
Cao Shujie's mother Wang Yuelan and father Cao Jianguo are also waiting here.
After arriving here, Cao Shujie told his mother Wang Yuelan to go home and watch some cute things, and Cheng Xiaolin would come over later.
Wang Yuelan agreed without even thinking about it.
This morning, he was so busy that he didn't even have time to walk the dog.
After Cao Shujie waited for Zuo Le to come over, he said a few words to him, then rode an electric bike to Cao Zhen's house, and took the bus that had already arrived with Cao Zhen's father, Cao Jianzong, toward Yiling City.
This is a standard 51-seater bus. Apart from the driver, there are only two people, Cao Shujie and Cao Jianzong.
Cao Jianzong looked a little nervous, and Cao Shujie had to comfort him first.
"Uncle, when you meet someone later, you don't have to say anything. Leave everything to me." Cao Shujie gave Cao Jianzong advice: "I guess you may not understand each other's dialect, so uncle, just keep smiling.
Just shake their hands."
Cao Jianzong looked at Cao Shujie, as if he couldn't believe it was so simple.
Cao Shujie instantly understood the look in his eyes and said, "Uncle, you just need to believe me. Even if I try to trick anyone, I can't trick my brother Zhen at this time!"
It's a bit confusing to look at the computer screen, and there are ghost images. I was delayed for almost an hour just checking the information. There are no big loopholes in this chapter^_^
