Chapter 381 We only cooperate with Brother Cao (at least 400.01 million)
Bayer heard Zhang Tianzhi's accent a little familiar, and he subconsciously asked: "Little brother, where are you from?"
"Dongshan Province, Quancheng, my name is Zhang Tianzhi, we specialize in fruit wholesale." Zhang Tianzhi introduced himself again.
He said: "I heard from other people that I have a lot of apples here, should we sell them?"
"Dongshan Province? Quancheng?" Bayer did not directly respond to Zhang Tianzhi's question.
He muttered the place name, thinking what a coincidence.
If I remember correctly, Cao Shujie and Brother Cao also came from there.
Zhang Tianzhi watched Bayer raise his eyebrows, looking quite surprised, and he subconsciously asked.
But Bayer shook his head and said nothing, and Zhang Tianzhi didn't take it seriously.
"The apples here have been sold out. You can go to other places." Bayer said to him.
Zhang Tianzhi was a little disappointed when Bayer said that the apples were gone, but he was not discouraged.
Considering that Bayer's planting scale is large, he must know several fruit farmers of the same scale, so why not let him introduce a few.
Thinking of this, Zhang Tianzhi asked him.
But Bayer said: "Little brother, you don't have to look here. The few apples I know that are similar to mine have also sold out their apples."
"..." Zhang Tianzhi was speechless.
What is going on?
He remembered that Cao Shujie himself said that he had purchased a large number of apples in Changji.
Moreover, when his boss called Cao Shujie three days ago, Cao Shujie seemed to have said that he had purchased more than 1,000 tons of apples. Could it be that this person's apples were sold to Cao Shujie?
He asked: "Brother, can I know who you sell your apples to?"
"That's not okay. We all have an agreement." Bayer kept his agreement and didn't say a word.
Zhang Tianzhi didn't get any useful information from Bayer. He finally said goodbye to Bayer and prepared to go shopping elsewhere.
After Bayer watched Zhang Tianzhi walk away, he took out his mobile phone and called Cao Shujie.
At this time, Cao Shujie was recording a video in the orchard of Adilijiang.
Cheng Xiaolin set up the newly purchased video recorder and looked at the high-definition picture inside. She felt that the saying "If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools" is right.
In this video, Cao Shujie introduced in detail the origin of the apples he sells, as well as the geographical environment and sunlight exposure here.
At the same time, the owner of the orchard, Adilijiang, was invited to appear on the scene. The two of them introduced the situation of growing apples in Changji, Xinjiang, in the form of a chat between friends.
The two also specifically discussed aspects such as apple varieties and planting methods that may affect the taste of apples, allowing netizens to understand at a glance.
After recording a segment, Cheng Xiaolin will also use a drone to take aerial photos of the apple orchard.
The orchard covering more than 400 acres looks quite shocking under the aerial camera, at least there are very few of this scale in their area.
Cheng Xiaolin also specially photographed the scientific planting and management methods in the Adilijiang orchard.
From this aspect, Adilijiang has invested more in the apple orchard than Cao Shujie. Automatic irrigation at regular intervals and automatic drip irrigation equipment for each tree have greatly reduced the investment in labor costs.
"Our area is all programmed management." Adilijiang showed Cao Shujie the control system specially used in his orchard. This thing seemed to be much more advanced than the one used by Cao Shujie.
Cao Shujie asked carefully, wondering if this control system could be used on his side.
"In the future, we will continue to update this area and strive to make planting management more humane," Adilijiang said.
This coincides with some of what Cao Shujie said at that time.
Cao Shujie also told Adilijiang some of his ideas. After listening, Adilijiang admired Cao Shujie very much!
"Yes, that's how it should be." Adilijiang affirmed.
When the two of them were still thinking about continuing their conversation, Cao Shujie's cell phone rang. He took out his cell phone and saw that it was a call from Bayil, whom he had just met yesterday. He was wondering, what did he want to do with him?
"Bayer, my old friend, good morning." Cao Shujie greeted with a smile. People who didn't know better thought they were old acquaintances.
Bayer also seemed very enthusiastic: "Boss Cao, good morning."
"I have something to tell you."
Later, Bayer told Cao Shujie that Zhang Tianzhi came to him to buy apples.
It’s not that Bayer doesn’t know how to find more sellers, which may raise the price of apples.
But he knows better that there are still many powerful 'buyers'. When the market is not particularly clear, if a big buyer comes to buy apples, he can't think too much.
To put it bluntly, even if Zhang Tianzhi's price is high and he sells his apples to Zhang Tianzhi, the question is how much can Zhang Tianzhi and the others charge?
What about the continuity later?
After all, the planting area of his apple orchard is quite large, and it is impossible for him to offend a big customer just for a small profit.
"It's Xiao Zhang. I know him, Bayer." Cao Shujie admitted openly.
He said: "It's really fate. Some of the apples I bought from you were distributed by them."
Bayer understood this sentence. He chatted with Cao Shujie for a while and asked him when he would go back.
Knowing that Cao Shujie and the others were leaving tomorrow, Bayer also said that he would treat Cao Shujie and his family of three to a meal tonight to see them off.
"Baier, my old friend, I'm very grateful." Cao Shujie expressed his thanks again.
He said: "Bayl, when you are free, you must go to my hometown. Then I will treat you to the best beef."
"We have made an agreement," Bayer said.
Mengmeng was playing alone.
There is also a piece of Hetian jade Buddha sculpture hanging around her neck, which was given to Mengmeng by Adilijiang's wife Gulizar.
Cao Shujie didn't know much about Hetian jade, but looking at the delicate texture of this piece of jade, he knew it was a good thing.
Both of them wanted to refuse, but Adilijiang said that they went to Wuqi to pick the jade themselves, and they didn't spend any money at all.
Mengmeng also liked this Buddha carved jade plaque very much. She sat on a small chair next to her, holding the Buddha carved jade plaque in her hand. She looked at her parents who were packing up their equipment after taking the video, stood up and ran towards them.
.
"Dad, are you finished filming?" Mengmeng raised her little head and asked.
Cao Shujie nodded: "The filming is over. Let's take a rest today and go home tomorrow, okay?"
"Okay." A smile appeared on Mengmeng's face, and she said, "I miss my grandpa."
Hearing what his daughter said, Cao Shujie also felt homesick.
That night, Cao Shujie had a meal with Cao Zhen, Adilijiang, Bayer, and AKS.
During the meal, Bayer once again mentioned the incident of meeting Zhang Tianzhi.
After hearing what he said, Tuohiti was furious: "This little brother is not honest in what he does."
"It's okay, this is human nature." Cao Shujie said.
But Abdullah waved his hand and said: "That won't work. This is not a matter of money. We only cooperate with Brother Cao."
This was said openly.
…
The next morning, Cao Shujie and the others took a plane and left.
At this time, it was already halfway through mid-December and only a few days away from the end of December.
Of the 347 tons of apples left in Adilijiang, another 13 tons were collected from Bayer and the others, enough for 12 refrigerated containers, which were loaded onto trucks and sent to Quancheng Freight Railway Station.
In the future, the apples from AKS, Bayer and other five stores will also be loaded and shipped one after another.
In Cao Shujie's words, if we transport more than 2,000 tons of apples back before the Spring Festival, package them and sell them, this year's task will be considered complete.
In addition, because Cao Shujie transported apples from Xinjiang Changji Freight Railway Station to Quancheng three times, and each time the quantity was large, the staff at the railway station also joked that if the quantity behind Cao Shujie was still large, they could give it to him
Apply to open a special train.
Based on the capacity of a freight train, it would be no problem to haul all the remaining 2,000 tons of apples back at once, but Cao Shujie doesn't have that big a place.
In the end, I gave up the idea.
However, considering the huge increase in sales, the number of 8 containers shipped at one time cannot meet the current sales volume. Cao Shujie increased the number of shipments to 12 containers at one time, and the frequency of loading and shipping remained unchanged.
The plane landed from Quancheng Airport. Cao Shujie got off the plane with Mengmeng in his arms and a blue luggage bag in his hand.
Cheng Xiaolin followed behind carrying a large bag full of things.
These were all given by AKS and others when they went to have dinner last night.
There are not many things, but they are exquisite and the price is not cheap.
"Shujie, these people are too enthusiastic," Cheng Xiaolin said.
"Well, when they come, we will return the gift."
"I know, did they say when they would come?" Cheng Xiaolin thought that if she wanted to know when they would come, she could prepare something in return.
But Cao Shujie shook his head: "No, they will definitely call me before they come, and I will tell you then."
Mengmeng looked back and forth in Cao Shujie's arms. She asked Cao Shujie: "Dad, where is our car?"
"It's in the parking lot, I'll take you there." Cao Shujie said to her.
As soon as a family of three came out of the waiting room lobby, they were hit by a cold wind that cut them like a knife.
Mengmeng subconsciously turned her head and hid in her father's arms: "Dad, it's so cold."
Cao Shujie unzipped his jacket and wrapped Mengmeng to protect her from the wind. His wife had already trotted to the parking place.
This trip to Changji took a short time. Counting today, it only lasted four days. When leaving, Cao Shujie only paid a parking fee of 120 yuan.
"So expensive?" Cheng Xiaolin didn't know. She thought it was a bit expensive. She remembered that when she went to the Five-Star Department Store in Yiling City, the parking fee was only 1.5 yuan per hour, with a maximum of 10 yuan.
"Honey, it's okay. This is an airport after all, and the price is cheap."
“If the price increases again in a few years, you’ll have to wait and see.” In Cao Shujie’s impression, he flew back from Beijing in his previous life and heard friends complain that parking at Quancheng Airport took a long time and the parking fee for a day was capped at 90 yuan, which was expensive.
To death, they felt like they couldn't park the car.
Cao Shujie drove out of the airport and was thinking about getting on the highway directly when Mengmeng suddenly shouted: "Dad, grandma said to buy dragon fruit."
"Oh, luckily Mengmeng reminded me, otherwise I would have forgotten. Let's go to the supermarket first." Cao Shujie said.
After driving to the intersection and turning, Cao Shujie took the couple to the supermarket in the city center for a walk.
When I came out of the supermarket, it was already an hour later.
When Cao Shujie pushed the full shopping cart and put things in the trunk, Mengmeng smiled when she saw her 'trophy'.
"Mom, am I awesome?" she asked.
Cheng Xiaolin looked at nearly a quarter of the snacks and thought to herself that they are edible.
But when I saw a round bag of dragon fruit with a red heart, I felt better again.
"After I get home, I have to eat enough first, otherwise all the cute food will be eaten secretly and no one will be left for me." Cheng Xiaolin glanced at her daughter.
Mengmeng might have been too tired from the flight, so she got in the car and sat in the safety seat, and fell asleep soon after.
"Is Mengmeng asleep?" Cao Shujie was driving the car and didn't hear any movement. He glanced in the rearview mirror and suddenly found that Mengmeng was asleep with her little head tilted.
Cheng Xiaolin said 'hmm': "She stayed up so late last night and didn't go to bed. She kept looking at the clouds outside on the plane today and didn't sleep. It's strange that she's not sleepy now."
"Let her sleep." Cao Shujie said, "If you are sleepy, take a rest. I will call you when you get home later."
"It's okay, I'll talk to you for a while!"
Cheng Xiaolin was chatting with Cao Shujie, but after talking for a while, she also started to feel sleepy.
When Cao Shujie drove home, his mother-in-law was sleeping soundly in the back, but they didn't even wake up when Cao Shujie called them.
"You said you would chat with me, is that all?" Cao Shujie muttered softly.
Cheng Xiaolin woke up slowly. She didn't hear clearly what Cao Shujie said, so she asked him.
Cao Shujie shook his head: "It's okay, wife, you carry Mengmeng inside and I'll get something."
After Wang Yuelan heard the noise at home, she quickly came out to take a look.
At a glance, she saw her granddaughter sleeping in her daughter-in-law's arms. She urged them a little anxiously: "Linlin, it's cold outside. You two go in first, don't freeze."
"I'll get something." Wang Yuelan said, already walking around to the trunk.
"Mom, you go in, I can get it myself." Cao Shujie said.
"I'm not old, just hurry up and get it. Go back to the house early after you finish it."
Wang Yuelan reached for the snack bag and a luggage bag in the trunk and walked towards home.
Grandpa Cao Zhenghu was standing in the house. When he saw them coming back, he asked: "Shujie, are you finished?"
"Grandpa, you are almost busy now. You don't have to travel far this time." Cao Shujie said.
"I stayed with you at home years ago."
Cao Zhenghu didn't believe it, so he asked his grandson: "Aren't you going to the town?"
"Go." Cao Shujie said, "Just walk around the town and look over there."
"You are very tired from running outside. Go and take a nap and get up later for dinner." Cao Zhenghu said to them.
Cao Shujie responded. After putting down the things in his hands, he ran out to get things twice more before finishing his work and going upstairs.
