"Boss Cao still raises cows at your place?" Adilijiang was surprised. He looked at Cao Shujie and asked, "How many cows are there?"
"Well, it's not a lot. I just make a living." Cao Shujie said, "I also grow apples over there, but they're not as big as what you grow in Adilijiang."
"I also have kiwis and strawberries in my orchard." Cao Shujie smiled and introduced the situation there to him.
The last time I came here was in a hurry. At that time, I was busy purchasing apples, negotiating prices, and working out contracts. Cao Shujie never mentioned anything about this.
Cao Zhen never told Adilijiang about Cao Shujie's situation in private.
After hearing Cao Shujie's own revelation, Adilijiang finally realized that he thought Cao Shujie was a relatively large-scale "fruit seller" and looked down upon him emotionally.
"Awesome!" Adilijiang gave Cao Shujie a thumbs up and said, "Boss Cao, after you finish your work tomorrow, I will take you to my orchard and let's exchange experiences on growing fruit trees."
"No problem." Cao Shujie agreed happily.
Not to mention Adilijiang's admiration for Cao Shujie, even Rerolli, who was busy serving tea and water next to him, couldn't help but look at him with admiration as he listened to Cao Shujie telling his story.
He felt that this young uncle was really amazing.
Although his family grows fruit trees, it does not mean that he knows nothing about breeding. At least he knows that a cow costs at least more than 10,000 yuan!
Cao Shujie could at least understand Adilijiang's Mandarin, but Cheng Xiaolin and Mengmeng, mother and daughter, couldn't understand it at all.
They stopped to eat for a while, with smiles on their faces.
Cheng Xiaolin watched her husband and Adilijiang communicate seamlessly throughout the whole process, and she was really impressed.
Thinking about her husband, when he was doing research in the capital before, he had never met and talked like this before.
Cheng Xiaolin couldn't help but think of a saying: "People will change as the environment changes!"
Before I knew it, it was getting dark outside, and Mengmeng had fallen asleep in her mother's arms.
Cao Shujie, Cao Zhen and Adili Jiang bid farewell.
When Cao Zhen was about to drive Cao Shujie and his family home, Cao Shujie said to him: "Cao Zhen, just take us to a nearby hotel."
"It's okay, just come all the way and stay at my house." Cao Zhen said.
But Cao Shujie knew that it would be difficult to live there and it would be inconvenient.
Cao Zhen also knew that the room he let Cao Shujie live in last time was not big, and the bed was only 1.2 meters. It was really difficult for Cao Shujie and his family of three to sleep.
The house on his side only has two rooms.
Thinking about it in his mind, Cao Zhen drove Cao Shujie and his family to a fairly good hotel near his home, and he rushed to pay for their accommodation.
"Shujie, you guys go to bed early. I'll come to pick you up early tomorrow morning," Cao Zhen said.
"Brother Zhen, don't be in a hurry." Cheng Xiaolin said politely.
"It's okay. The cotton has been transported back to the factory. I'm mainly here to discuss renting land with others. We haven't reached an agreement yet. I have nothing to do in my spare time." After Cao Zhen finished speaking, he drove away.
.
…
The next morning, Cao Zhen took Cao Shujie and his family to Adilijiang's home first. After meeting Adilijiang, he followed him to meet with five other fruit farmers.
Cao Zhen and the other party have almost reached an agreement on price, loading, delivery, and payment.
After Cao Shujie came over, he met and chatted with these five fruit farmers named AKS, Bayir, Nalati, Toheti, and Abdullah.
Throughout the entire negotiation process, Cao Shujie acted very cheerfully.
The conditions under which the contract was signed were not much different from those under which Adilijiang signed the contract.
After Cao Shujie signed contracts with the five of them, AKS, Bayer and the others also expressed their intention to invite Cao Shujie, Cao Zhen, and Adilijiang to have a meal together.
I can’t recommend this meal.
Moreover, Cao Shujie discovered that these fruit farmers were indeed quite wealthy.
Not to mention anything else, including Adilijiang, the cars they drive all cost more than 300,000 to 400,000 yuan.
The man named Toheti I met today, the car he drove was worth a million dollars.
It’s no wonder that with hundreds of acres of orchards under staff, it’s hard not to make a fortune at this scale.
But having said that, they also grow fruit trees, and the folks who grow fruit trees in Caojiazhuang are directly incomparable to these people.
Even including himself, in terms of the area where he grows fruit trees, he is far behind compared to this group of others.
"Niang Xipi, Uncle Long and the others are still afraid that if they plant too many kiwi fruit trees, they won't be able to sell them. The situation is really small!" Cao Shujie lamented.
If you don't go out and see it, you won't know what it's like outside.
The celebration banquet at noon was also of a high standard.
While eating, Cao Shujie expressed his welcome to them to visit Caojiazhuang in the future.
At this time, Adilijiang took the initiative to introduce Cao Shujie's identity as a 'fruit farmer' to his other five colleagues.
After AKS and the others heard that Cao Shujie was also a 'fruit farmer', they unconsciously felt a little closer to him.
When they heard that Cao Shujie also grew apples, they immediately felt closer.
"Boss Cao, when your apples are ripe, be sure to let us know," Nalati said.
He said: "I really want to taste your apples."
"No problem. If you don't have time to go there by then, I will send it to you on a special trip." Cao Shujie spoke very openly.
Who wouldn’t say nice things?
Sure enough, after hearing what Cao Shujie said, several people looked at Cao Shujie more and more favorably.
"Boss Cao, I'm curious, you grow apples yourself, why do you come to our place?" Tuohe asked.
This was also a doubt they had in mind after knowing Cao Shujie's identity as a 'fruit farmer', especially after they found out that he also grew apples.
Cao Shujie said: "To be honest, our place is small and the land per capita is small. For example, I rented more than 200 acres of mountain land in our village. Even if it is the most, my apples are only more than 20 acres, which is incomparable to yours."
"So few?" When several people heard what Cao Shujie said, they understood instantly.
In their eyes, the 20 acres of orchard is no different than children playing house.
Cao Shujie didn't care, nor did he feel embarrassed. He continued to chat with them, seemingly very harmonious.
…
While Cao Shujie and Adilijiang were eating, a young man named Zhang Tianzhi under Nie Bin also came to Xinjiang Changji.
He remembered clearly that Cao Shujie once said that these apples were purchased from the apple base in Changji, Xinjiang.
Zhang Tianzhi thought there was nothing wrong with him coming here.
After arriving here, Zhang Tianzhi had just gotten off the car and didn't know who to ask about "Apple".
But this is not a big problem for him.
They are in the fruit business themselves and are no strangers to this aspect.
After several inquiries, Zhang Tianzhi found several apple farmers that afternoon.
He went to communicate with the other party and expressed his intention to buy the other party's apples, but the other party's price made Zhang Tianzhi a little depressed.
The cheapest one is 4.87 yuan per kilogram, and the expensive one is more than 5 yuan per kilogram.
But the problem is that the fruit farmers he asked about have planting scales ranging from dozens of acres of orchards, and none are particularly large.
However, they insisted on holding on to the price and refused to let go.
Zhang Tianzhi was also in a dilemma.
He calculated an account, added freight, costs and other miscellaneous expenses, and it cost more than 3 yuan to transport these apples back to Quancheng.
The key is that these people have too few apples in stock. He has to collect several apples to collect a container.
Even if this wave is finished, what about the next wave?
If it's not sustainable, it's not interesting.
Time passed with Zhang Tianzhi’s constant visits.
After he finished his work, he dragged his exhausted body back to the hotel. He was so tired that he didn't even want to eat.
But Zhang Tianzhi is also thinking about one thing: How can Boss Cao Shujie buy hundreds of tons of apples and be unlucky?
Who was he looking for?
Could it be that Cao Shujie lied to them because he didn't buy the goods from the Apple base in Xinjiang Changji?
Zhang Tianzhi thought about going out for a run tomorrow morning and asking if there were any large-scale fruit farmers here.
He believes that those fruit farmers with relatively large planting scale must have a large number of cold storage apples.
One night has passed, and this is the third day since Cao Shujie and his family of three came to Xinjiang.
After negotiating the price with AKS and the others yesterday, Cao Shujie was going to shoot a video in the orchard of Adilijiang today.
This is also their second mission here.
Cheng Xiaolin just bought a new video recorder in Quancheng, and she is currently playing with the new equipment excitedly.
Looking at the high-definition picture of this device, she was very satisfied.
"Mengmeng, let's go, mom will take some videos for you." Cheng Xiaolin called her daughter.
Mengmeng was very happy when she heard this. She also made several different gestures, which made Cao Shujie amused.
At the same time, Zhang Tianzhi also got up and had a hearty breakfast, picked up his things, and started looking for new 'fruit sources' again.
His target today is those fruit growers with relatively large scale.
After asking around all the way, Zhang Tianzhi finally found out from a fruit farmer that they had two large-scale fruit growers.
One of them was Bayer. Zhang Tianzhi drove excitedly towards Bayer's orchard in the car.
He looked forward to a good harvest from this trip.
It can be seen that Zhang Tianzhi was confused after seeing Bayer.
"Have you sold all your apples?" Zhang Tianzhi couldn't believe what he heard.
After seeing Bayer nodding, Zhang Tianzhi was still a little unwilling: "Shouldn't it be?"
This result even made him a little depressed.
I take my children out to play. If it rains, the temperature difference may change a bit, and my child may have a fever. Oops!
