Chapter 466 Riding on the popularity of ‘Mengmeng Orchard’ (1.52 million)
Chapter 466 Riding on the popularity of ‘Mengmeng Orchard’ (15,200)
When eating dinner, Mengmeng's mind was not on the steak at all.
She kept describing to her grandfather and mother how great her fishing was this afternoon.
"Dad and I can't compete at all." Mengmeng was a little confused.
Cao Shujie said nothing and kept immersed in eating meat.
He originally wanted to take Mengmeng to the provincial capital to play, but under the current circumstances, he felt it was unnecessary.
However, Cao Shujie really wants to go to the provincial capital tomorrow, not just for fun, he has business to do.
If nothing else goes wrong, the kiwi fruits in the orchard will be on the market by the end of July. However, the current economic situation is getting worse and worse. Cao Shujie wants to go to the provincial capital to see how the sales situation is in the fruit wholesale market there.
The yellow-heart kiwifruit and red-heart kiwifruit he planted are very different from the green-heart kiwifruit he planted before.
First of all, in terms of selling points, kiwi fruit with yellow heart and kiwi fruit with red heart have more selling points.
Coupled with differentiation, people are always more interested in fresh things, and they also believe that the price of kiwis with yellow or red hearts is higher.
This is a very interesting question.
He told his wife that Cheng Xiaolin also knew that the kiwi fruits in their orchard would be mature in more than a month, so they must consider the market in advance.
A few months earlier, or letting people come to the orchard to pick strawberries, you would have made a lot of money.
But the problem is that after June, the number of people coming to the orchards to pick kiwi fruit has decreased significantly.
Coupled with the sluggish market environment, there are fewer and fewer ordinary consumer groups willing to spend money at this time.
Even if you sell kiwi fruit online, it may not work.
Cao Shujie still wanted to see what the market was like in the fruit wholesale market?
His wife is also very supportive of his behavior.
And Cheng Xiaolin also wanted to go to the provincial capital to buy some of the latest electronic products.
Needless to say, her DJI Phantom 1 drone has been in use for almost two years. In the past two years, technology has been developing at a rapid pace.
The development of hardware and software is also advancing by leaps and bounds. Cheng Xiaolin always feels that her drone can no longer keep up with the development of the times. She wants to go to the provincial capital to see if there are any suitable new models.
When told to her husband, Cheng Xiaolin raised her hands in agreement.
Looking at Mengmeng who was not sleeping yet, Cao Shujie called her: "Mengmeng, dad is going to the provincial capital tomorrow to do something, will you go?"
When Mengmeng heard her father say that he was going to the provincial capital, no matter what the job was, Mengmeng agreed immediately.
Anyway, she went there just to have fun.
Because of this news, Mengmeng jumped up and down on the bed excitedly.
Looking at the clean bed, Mengmeng messed it up. Not to mention that Cheng Xiaolin wanted to beat him, Cao Shujie also wanted to teach her a lesson.
Otherwise, when will Mengmeng become sensible?
"Mengmeng, if you don't go to bed, I won't take you with me when I leave tomorrow," Cao Shujie said.
These words were so effective that Mengmeng was frightened at the time. He quickly lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, and gasped.
Cao Shujie couldn't laugh or cry when he saw his daughter like this.
Seeing that his wife was not sleeping either, Cao Shujie told her to go to bed early.
"Shujie, don't stay up so late." Cheng Xiaolin warned him.
Cao Shujie nodded and agreed.
He really had nothing else to do. After sitting outside for a while and feeling a little sleepy, Cao Shujie went into the bedroom to sleep.
Early in the morning of the second day, Cao Shujie got up and washed up. His wife Cheng Xiaolin had also gotten up and called Mengmeng by the way.
Perhaps because she was still motivated to play in the provincial capital, Mengmeng got up very happily this morning.
She didn't even need her mother to dress her, she just dressed herself.
She also yelled at her mother to quickly get dressed and leave.
"Dad, let's stop eating." Mengmeng asked him.
Cao Shujie also asked her: "If you don't eat, will you go to the provincial capital hungry? I can't stand it."
"Dad, you can take my mother and me to the provincial capital to have a good meal." Mengmeng said with squinted eyes.
Cao Shujie was speechless when he heard his daughter say this.
Mengmeng is full of cunning, and Cao Shujie feels that ordinary people can't deal with her.
Before leaving in the morning, Cao Shujie called his mother to tell him that they were going to the provincial capital and asked his mother to come over and take care of his grandfather and cook some food for him.
"Shujie, are you coming back today?" Wang Yuelan asked them.
She also said: "If you don't come back, please call me in advance to let me know."
"Mom, don't worry." Cao Shujie said to his mother.
Cao Shujie drove very steadily along the way.
I have not walked this road once or twice. I don’t even need to use the navigation system on the way. Cao Shujie feels that he can drive everywhere with his eyes closed.
Along the way, Cao Shujie's speed slowed down.
After finally arriving in the provincial capital, Cao Shujie was thinking about where to go first, but Mengmeng said first: "Dad, let's have some breakfast first. I'm so hungry that I feel uncomfortable."
"Didn't you say you won't have breakfast?" Cao Shujie asked her back.
But Mengmeng was also very stubborn at the moment. She raised her head and said, "Dad, I don't want to eat breakfast at home. We can have some breakfast here first."
After hearing his daughter's sophistry, Cao Shujie didn't even bother to argue with her. He first found a fast food chain store and the family of three went in to have breakfast.
As soon as she was full, Mengmeng shouted: "Dad, it's not very delicious."
Cao Shujie didn't want to talk to his daughter.
Who ate the most just now?
Now I am the most shameless!
According to the plan for this visit, Cao Shujie will first go to the largest fruit wholesale market in the provincial capital to check out the situation, and his wife will buy a new DJI drone.
Mengmeng is a follower, wherever they go, Mengmeng will follow them.
But to Mengmeng, this didn't seem to be very important. Seeing how excited she turned to look around, Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin thought that Mengmeng was the best to fool.
Cao Shujie had already confirmed it before coming.
There is the largest fruit wholesale market in Tianqiao District of Quancheng, the provincial capital. It covers an area of 100,000 square meters, has more than 1,300 operating households, and sells more than 300 varieties of fruits from all over the world.
The variety is very complete.
I parked the car more than a kilometer away from the fruit wholesale market, and I couldn't walk further.
They could only pull over and walk over.
Cao Shujie also asked his wife whether she should go there with him or take Mengmeng to find a place to escape the summer heat.
June in Quancheng is like a furnace, it's really hard to live with.
Cao Shujie estimated that if he walked over, he would be covered in sweat.
Cheng Xiaolin thought for a while and decided to take Mengmeng to a nearby fast food restaurant like KFC to enjoy the air conditioning and escape the heat.
It doesn't matter if she sweats a little, but Mengmeng is too young and can't stand such a hot temperature.
In addition, this section of the road is not very close. Mengmeng would not be able to bear it if he walked over it and then turned back out. By then, he would be very tired and might have to be carried on his back.
"Shujie, I'll find a restaurant nearby to wait for you."
Cao Shujie nodded and told the two of them to pay attention to their safety. He walked towards the Dafa Fruit Wholesale Market ahead.
After following the flow of people for a kilometer, Cao Shujie's short sleeves were soaked through, and his clothes stuck to his body. Sweat dripped down his chin, fingers, elbows and other parts, and fell into pieces on the ground.
Cao Shujie didn't care about this. After he followed the crowd into the market, he immediately felt a gust of cool wind blowing over him, which made him shiver all over.
Unlike outside, the market has a centralized refrigeration air-cooling system and large fans running everywhere, which makes it much cooler than outside.
"Durians are for sale. Good durians are sold cheaply. If they don't taste good, you don't need to pay for them."
"Brother, please have some bananas. The imported bananas just shipped from abroad are absolutely delicious."
"Are you still buying strawberries? Strawberries that are closely related to the authentic brand "Mengmeng Orchard" are grown without a shed. They are not sweet and don't cost any money."
"It's time for watermelon. The big watermelon from Xinjiang and the black beauty from Northeast China. The quantity is big enough for a small knife."
As Cao Shujie was walking, his legs suddenly stopped and he stood in front of a stall selling strawberries. It was this close relative of the strawberry that just called "Mengmeng Orchard". This was really interesting.
Cao Shujie couldn't even figure out what close relatives the strawberries in her orchard had?
However, when he walked to the stall and saw the strawberries on the stall, especially when he saw the label on the packaging box, Cao Shujie understood that the other party really didn't take all the trouble.
"How is this going?"
Cao Shujie suddenly discovered that the strawberries in this strawberry store were similar in appearance and label to his strawberries.
But there are also differences.
Suddenly, he heard the other party call him "Boss Cao" unexpectedly.
"Hey, do you know me?" Cao Shujie looked at the boss in front of him, very unfamiliar.
He didn't expect that he had kept such a low profile, but when he came to the fruit wholesale market in the provincial capital, someone could recognize him, which made him feel strange.
The next moment, he heard the other party say: "Boss Cao, I went to pick strawberries in your orchard."
"So the strawberries you sell now are all imitating my strawberries?" Cao Shujie asked him unceremoniously.
I was embarrassed to mention the advantages of the other party in one sentence, but the fruit seller also had a good face. The other party smiled and said: "Boss Cao, we also copied this based on the method of strawberry seeds in your orchard. The taste is better than that in your orchard."
The strawberries in it are a bit worse, and we didn’t hide this.”
When Cao Shujie heard that the other party was still arguing, he suddenly felt speechless.
When did this happen?
The key is that you just sell your strawberries, don’t use the name of strawberries that are closely related to the ‘Meng Meng Orchard’.
This title made Cao Shujie feel pain in his balls.
Cao Shujie finally complained to the other party.
His request is very simple. The other party can no longer sell fruit under the banner of Mengmeng Orchard.
Cao Shujie did not further pursue the other party's legal liability, which was considered a very merciful approach.
This matter was later revealed by someone unknown, and many media outlets knew about it, causing an uproar in the city.
For example, this incident is like a counterfeiter who is selling fake goods and suddenly encounters the real owner appearing in front of him.
The real Li Gui met Li Kui.
The other party had nothing to say, after all, he was selling fruit under the banner of Mengmeng Orchard.
This incident also left Cao Shujie in his mind. He felt that it was necessary to clarify this matter, and it would be best to let viewers and friends across the country know what was going on.
"When I get back, I'll ask my wife to take a video to clarify." Cao Shujie thought to himself.
He has no intention of cutting off anyone's financial path, but making money under his banner is not an option.
Ignoring this matter, Cao Shujie spent more than half of the morning walking around the fruit wholesale market.
During this period, he met many vendors selling imported kiwi fruits. Cao Shujie would go there and ask about the prices, and then observe the consumer groups of these stores and the sales volume in the stores.
But Cao Shujie found that the sales volume of these stores was not very high.
He also stepped forward to chat with the other party and learned from the other party that the overall sales volume of fruits this year was not as good as in previous years.
I asked around a dozen stores in the wholesale market and found that their responses were all similar.
Everyone is complaining that business this year is not as good as in previous years, and it is getting harder and harder to make money.
At this time, Cao Shujie knew something in his mind.
After coming out of Dafa Fruit Wholesale Market, Cao Shujie braved the scorching sun and walked towards the parking place. When he was almost there, Cao Shujie called his wife and asked where they were.
Knowing that his wife and daughter were still in a KFC fast food restaurant near where they parked, Cao Shujie directly told them to go to where they parked.
Cao Shujie arrived at the parking place ahead of them, turned on the air conditioner in the car and waited.
Cheng Xiaolin brought Mengmeng over and instantly felt that the temperature inside the car was cooler than the temperature in a KFC fast food restaurant.
"Shujie, it's a bit cold. Please raise the temperature a little higher." Cheng Xiaolin still felt cold.
She and her daughter Mengmeng were sweating a lot, and the sudden blow of cold air from the air conditioner made her feel like something was wrong all over her body.
Cao Shujie also followed suit and raised the temperature of the air conditioner.
Cheng Xiaolin asked him about his harvest in the fruit wholesale market. At this time, Cao Shujie told his wife what he had learned.
They also talked about how they encountered strawberries being sold under the guise of Mengmeng Orchard at the Dafa Fruit Wholesale Market.
"I reported him, and they said they would give me a reply as soon as possible," Cao Shujie said.
But Cheng Xiaolin felt that the supervision in the wholesale market and the fruit wholesalers must be a den of snakes and rats, and asked her husband if she wanted to call 315.
"Don't call me yet." Cao Shujie looked like he was sure of winning. He said, "I just took some photos and made recordings to save them. Let's take a video and post it online to clarify when we get back."
If Dafa Fruit Wholesale Market doesn't handle it, Cao Shujie feels that the only way to deal with it is through the power of public opinion.
Cheng Xiaolin thinks this method of processing is really interesting. She has never been exposed to it before.
"Let's go, forget about this for now, let's buy you a DJI drone first." This is what Cao Shujie said.
Provincial cities are just different.
I couldn't even find a single DJI drone store in Yiling City, but when I searched on the navigation system in the provincial capital, three DJI drone stores came up.
Cao Shujie and the others chose the nearest one and drove there directly.
After arriving at the store, Cao Shujie and his wife expressed their thoughts, and the waiter in the store introduced them to a new DJI drone that was just launched in January this year.
According to the introduction of the store staff, this new model is the Phantom PHANTOM 1, which is the world’s first integrated aerial photography drone.
The highly integrated design of this drone also allows consumers to avoid installation and debugging, allowing them to fly in a true sense. It is much more advanced than the DJI Phantom first-generation drone they bought before.
The most important thing is that the basic sales price of this drone is less than 5,000 yuan, which makes Cao Shujie find it incredible. When he bought the first DJI Phantom 1 for his wife, the sales price at that time was more than 8,000 yuan.
Of course, looking back now, the price of the DJI Phantom 1 drone he bought for his wife has also dropped, and is less than half of what it was when it was first launched.
It was the same today. Cao Shujie explained to the waiter and directly chose the one with the highest configuration.
The price is a little more expensive, but Cao Shujie doesn't care about the money. The couple came out of the store with Mengmeng. At this time, Cheng Xiaolin, who had just bought a new drone, wanted to find a place where no one was around to try it out.
A new machine.
Cao Shujie also wants to see how the aerial photography effect of this more advanced drone with integrated circuits is?
As for Mengmeng, she plays casually wherever she goes, as if nothing happening in the outside world can affect her.
…
However, Cao Shujie was not in a hurry to return to Caojiazhuang. In the afternoon, he took Mengmeng and his wife around many tourist attractions in the provincial capital. During the period, he also used a drone to take some aerial photos to kill time.
After 4 o'clock, they drove back to Caojiazhuang.
When I got home, it was just getting dark.
Wang Yuelan called them at around 5 o'clock and asked them if they would come home for dinner that night.
After getting a positive answer, Wang Yuelan cooked some more dinner that night.
By the time Cao Shujie and the others drove home, they were just in time for dinner.
Wang Yuelan didn't ask how her son's trip to the provincial capital went.
She took the initiative to invite her granddaughter to eat and let her son and daughter-in-law eat first.
"Eat more and don't leave any more," Cheng Xiaolin also warned them.
While eating, grandpa Cao Zhenghu turned on the TV and watched the news.
What it means is that the country attaches great importance to people's livelihood industry and is prepared to continue to vigorously develop the agriculture, rural areas and rural economy.
At the same time, it was also mentioned that the domestic real estate industry is booming and requires all regions to do a good job in ensuring it.
In addition, it was also mentioned that the country attaches great importance to the development of the capital market, increases investment, and actively maintains the health and development of the capital market.
Cao Shujie didn't pay attention at first, he was making trouble with Mengmeng.
But when he heard a few voices coming from the TV, he paid attention.
Turning his head and listening carefully to what was being broadcast on the news, Cao Shujie suddenly felt a familiar feeling.
He couldn't remember who he had heard say that when urban economic development seriously lags behind, in a broad sense, the agricultural economy would be considered.
Because the urban population is saturated in consumption and purchasing power, at this time, the vast number of rural farmers in towns and villages are potential consumers.
Apart from anything else, the domestic rural population base is too large.
Therefore, when there is excess production capacity, some exclusive terms and policies to benefit the people will appear.
For example, home appliances are brought to the countryside, cars are brought to the countryside, rural urbanization...
OK!
Cao Shujie didn't think that way at first, but he heard one after another in the news that the top management attached great importance to the development of agricultural economy, requiring all regions to ensure the supply of real estate, and the country to promote the healthy and upward development of the capital market.
This combination of various aspects made him realize that when it reached a certain level, an opportunity might come.
Thinking of this, Cao Shujie paid attention to the content of the news. When Mengmeng still wanted to make trouble with him, Cao Shujie directly pulled her over to her mother: "Honey, you watch Mengmeng first, and I'll read the news."
"What's wrong?" Cheng Xiaolin didn't respond.
But when she saw her husband's expression was different, she knew there must be something wrong.
"Mengmeng, come here and don't disturb your father." Cheng Xiaolin said.
"oh!"
Mengmeng ran towards her mother, as long as someone played with her.
The news ends at 7:30.
After reading it, Grandpa Cao Zhenghu stood up and walked towards the bedroom.
He also said that he was a little tired today and wanted to go to bed early.
Hearing what his grandfather said, Cao Shujie waved to his wife: "You guys go upstairs first. I'll wash the dishes and chopsticks and go up too."
"Okay, I'll take Mengmeng up first." Cheng Xiaolin carried her daughter to the second floor.
Mother originally wanted to wash the dishes, but Cao Shujie stopped her.
In this case, she had nothing else to do, so she went back to her place first.
Cao Shujie gently moved the dishes to the kitchen and washed them. After cleaning the living room, he also went to the second floor.
When she came up, Cheng Xiaolin was walking around the room with Mengmeng on her back.
Mengmeng put her hands around her mother Cheng Xiaolin's neck and had a great time.
He was still shouting: "Hurry up, mom, hurry up."
Seeing Cao Shujie coming up, Cheng Xiaolin rolled her eyes and said to her daughter: "Mengmeng, come down quickly and let your father take you away."
"I don't want it." Mengmeng didn't let go of her mother.
She said: "Dad is stupid, and I am stupid."
"Mom is smart, I am smart."
What she meant was that her father's stupidity was easily contagious and she also became stupid.
But my mother is smart, so there is no need to worry.
Cao Shujie pouted: "I'm not willing to take you to play."
Sitting at the computer desk, Cao Shujie turned on the computer and browsed the latest political news and economic news online, filtering out the useful information one by one.
Then filter it in your mind.
Finally, he opened the securities computer client and saw that the Shanghai Composite Index on Friday had returned to 1913 points. Cao Shujie thought about it and felt that there was no need to wait any longer.
We'll go in tomorrow and Monday, ambush them, and just close their eyes and sleep in the back.
After Cheng Xiaolin coaxed Mengmeng to sleep, she asked Cao Shujie if something was wrong.
Cao Shujie told his wife what he analyzed.
After hearing this, Cheng Xiaolin felt a little dizzy and looked at her husband with strange eyes, wondering when her husband had become so thoughtful. It was incredible that he could read so much content from one piece of news.
"Why weren't you so smart before? I don't think you would have spent all your time hiding in the laboratory doing research every day if you had spent some time on this." Cheng Xiaolin said to him.
Cao Shujie thought to himself that if I could think like this in my previous life, I wouldn't have died suddenly from exhaustion.
But he didn't want to mention some things. Cao Shujie told his wife: "I won't be going out tomorrow. You can go to the factory in town for me."
"Okay, you are busy with your business, don't worry about this." Cheng Xiaolin smiled and nodded.
I caught a cold yesterday and fell asleep in a daze. Sorry.
Today I will update 10,000. My body is getting worse and worse.
