Chen Mo called Bright and asked him to kill two lambs. He looked at Zhang Cheng and his son and made an invitation to go into the tree vineyard...
"Help me take a look at this newly transplanted grape tree." Chen Mo looked at Zhang Cheng and lit a cigarette.
Zhang Cheng smiled and stepped forward to look at the green fruits on the tree.
Some green fruits are very firm, and some green fruits fall off at the slightest touch. There are many ripe fruits on them, so this is okay.
"Mr. Chen is really interested in tree grapes?"
"Yeah, of course."
"The way you are playing now is not necessary...Tree grapes are easy to grow, but not easy to bear fruit, especially when transplanted to a new place..." Zhang Cheng also decided to talk about his experience. The way of doing things in the United States is different from that in China.
, being sincere may yield better results: "The newly transplanted seedlings will indeed bear fruit that year, but it is best to cultivate the roots first."
"Tree grapes like moisture, are afraid of drought, and cannot be soaked in water. The soil quality here... it is best to spread some ground grass, which can lock the soil moisture and maintain underground humidity. Tree grapes like fertile soil, moderate is fine, and it cannot be nutritious.
If there is too much, it will only grow leaves but no flowers and fruits.”
According to the contract, Zhang Cheng will send someone to guide Chen Mo and the others in planting vines, and the scope of the guidance will only cover the thousands of saplings they just purchased.
"You mean, pick all the flowers and fruits on the tree?" Chen Mo touched his chin. The space he had was magical, but all things naturally had their own laws, and nothing was abnormal to a particularly outrageous level.
"There is no need to pick them all. Since they are already blooming and bearing fruit, you should keep them if you can... Ripe fruits should be picked as soon as possible, and a few green fruits should be kept. If they are in full bloom, pick all they can, leaving very few flower bones.
That's it. At least wait until the roots of the tree grow, otherwise there will be a lot of fruits and flowers left, which will absorb the nutrients of the tree itself. The most important thing is the soil... I have read that the climate in California should not be suitable for the growth of tree grapes.
To make it grow quickly, artificial management must be strengthened. Especially in dry summers, more watering should be done to increase the water-holding capacity of the soil. The planting density here is too sparse, and the soil in the garden corridor will be exposed to direct sunlight. It is best to
Some short grass can be planted to maintain soil moisture... Only when the tree root system is developed can manual intervention be reduced."
Chen Mo touched his chin: "I can sign a purchase contract with you for 2 million US dollars. It's just the price. I hope you can be honest."
For example, a two-year-old tree grape with a height of 2040 cm can be ordered online for an average of 20 yuan a piece. If the quantity is large, it can be half the price. A three-year-old tree grape costs more than 40 yuan a piece. If the quantity is large, it can be half the price...
By the time four-year-old saplings are born, the price has basically doubled, even more than 100 yuan per sapling. And when they are six-year-old, the price will be 500 or 600 yuan per sapling. But that's an online quote...
The 1.21.5 meter saplings that Chen Mo ordered were unreasonably expensive.
A large nursery, especially a fruit nursery, can earn over a million yuan a year, which is a lot.
Chen Mo himself is too lazy to cultivate fruit seedlings, whether in the space or outside. Working alone in the space is tiring. Outside, it is too time-consuming...
Zhang Cheng rubbed his hands, two million dollars...
After deducting the customs duties and transportation fees into the United States, the revenue should be around 10 million yuan. He was able to build the nursery for his fathers, but the total turnover up to now is less than 10 million yuan.
If you want to make 10 million, unless the land is developed.
Zhang Chengxin has an account, such as the previous order of more than 200,000 US dollars, which netted a million dollars in profit after the cost...
This time you can set up an offshore company and export offshore...
People can't be too greedy. If you are too greedy, the opportunity may fly away.
Zhang Cheng nodded repeatedly: "I will reorganize the quotation... In addition, I have hundreds of 50-year-old grape vines in my nursery. If Mr. Chen likes it, I will give you 20." This can be regarded as compensation for Chen Mo's high price.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang. Let's go back and finalize the price. If it suits me, I will purchase it from you."
Returning to the villa, I happened to bump into Brett who was coming over.
"Boss, are the workers ready? Let's start planting trees now?" Bright said.
"The planting distance should be wider to ensure traffic."
Zhang Cheng looked at Chen Mo: "Let Zhang Rui go over and help. He can also tell you about the precautions for vine grapes."
"OK."
After Bright and Zhang Rui left, Chen Mo led Zhang Cheng into the study on the second floor and turned on the computer...
Zhang Cheng logged into the computer and contacted the nursery workers, asking them to send photos of the nursery. Then he contacted the video and used a ruler to measure the thickness and height of the tree species...
Chen Mo has no interest in tree species that are too small.
At least 1.2 meters is required...
After counting the number of tree species in the nursery, Zhang Cheng made a list...
Six-year-old, tree diameter within 1.8 cm, bare greenhouse seedlings (without branches), the height is no more than 12,000, starting at 75 yuan per piece, the price is to the pasture.
The previous seedlings cost US$110 each and were 1.21.5 meters tall. According to the data, they were six or seven years old, but they were actually five or six years old. However, they had forked branches. They were all carefully selected seedlings. These kind of seedlings are expensive and are not popular in the domestic market.
If you buy in bulk, it only costs two to three hundred pieces.
Seven-year-old...bare seedlings, RMB 85 each, minimum order of 10,000. Seedlings with two forks, RMB 120 each. Seedlings with three forks, RMB 160 each.
There are also potted seedlings. The potted seedlings with soil are more expensive. The 7-year-old seedlings are 1.21.5 meters tall and cost 400 yuan. They are all 2- or 3-pronged seedlings.
Chen Mo was speechless when he saw this. This is really...
After eight years of age, it depends on the size of the saplings. Some of the larger saplings are already blooming and bearing fruit. Smaller saplings have to wait. It depends on the tree diameter, tree height, ground diameter...
Ten-year-old fruit-bearing seedlings start at 2,000 yuan each, depending on the shape and size of the tree. The more expensive ones can sell for 70,000 to 80,000 yuan each (excluding shipping costs).
There are also large tree species that are more than fifteen years old, more than twenty years old, more than twenty-five years old, or even fifty-year-old trees... Old trees can still bear fruit after a hundred years. These are called evergreen trees. In China, grape trees that are hundreds of years old can still bear fruit.
It is said to be rare, but some of them are obtained from foreign countries by all possible means...
Tree grapes grow slowly, and a big tree in fifty years will only be five or six meters tall. Zhang Cheng was willing to give Chen Mo 20 grapes in order to achieve cooperation. In addition, the food looked ugly before, which was regarded as an apology.
Chen Mo plans to plant 300 to 500 acres of arborvitae. There is no need to consider the density of planting in small valleys. The number of arborvitae needed may reach 150,000... Zhang Cheng's plantation will not have so many if all are uprooted. By
I know he will bring it in from other nurseries, and the price quoted here is still profitable...
Originally, who would do unprofitable transactions? As long as it was not excessive, Chen Mo would accept it.
This quote is basically acceptable to Chen Mo. It almost reaches the price quoted by Wanwan Nursery. The other party also includes shipping costs...
"I still have dozens of acres of old trees in my nursery, more than 20 years old. If Mr. Chen likes it, you can come to my place and have a look. The price is easily negotiable." Zhang Cheng compiled a basic quotation list and handed it to Chen Mo.
Chen Mo nodded: "Six-year-old bare seedlings are too expensive. 60 each. I want 50,000 here."
"Six-year-old two-pronged and three-pronged seedlings, 85 per piece, as many as you want."
"There are 200 seedlings in each pot, and any seedlings that are more than six years old and have forked branches are required, as many as there are."
Zhang Cheng's mind was spinning very fast: "Transporting seedlings in pots with soil? The freight cost is too expensive. I may not make any money here for 200 seeds and lose money. For 300 seeds... I should be able to get 10,000 seeds." The current quotation is,
Zhang Cheng covers the shipping fee, fortunately the quantity is large...
"Okay, 10,000 potted seedlings. 300 each." From China to San Francisco, the price of a standard box is about 1,500 US dollars. There are more goods from the country to the West Coast, but less goods from the West Coast to the country. Sometimes the price of a standard box
It can reach 2,000 US dollars. Small seedlings are okay, and a container can hold many of them bundled together. Green seedlings with bonsai are not good...
Chen Mo said, looking at his phone, it was the 11th today, and he would be home for the New Year in about twenty days...
"I also need some old grape trees here. Specifically, I will return to China in a while and visit your nursery." Chen Mo said and printed out the contract, in Chinese and English...
Pot seedlings, 300 yuan each, as many as you want, with soil.
50,000 bare seedlings cost RMB 60 per piece.
Forked seedlings, 85 each.
...cash on delivery.
"Mr. Chen, how much do you think we should pay as a deposit?" Zhang Cheng looked at the contract and was pleased. It was just cash on delivery and no deposit was mentioned.
"Cash on delivery, if you are worried, send someone here." Chen Mo said and signed the contract: "I don't care about this small amount of money. Besides, the contract is clearly written in black and white. When the goods arrive, they will be inspected immediately.
Settlement. By the way, liquidated damages..." Chen Mo tore up the contract he had just filled out and added liquidated damages, which amounted to US$3 million: "How about it, you can rest assured now."
Zhang Cheng smiled bitterly and nodded. Having said that, a few million dollars might not be much to Chen Mo, but to him it was a huge deal.
Zhang Cheng couldn't understand the English contract, so he only signed it in Chinese. After calling Zhang Rui back to read it, he signed it.
"Fork seedlings, how many do you really want?"
"Pay on delivery, as much as you want." Chen Mo said with a smile: "Before April, it says, if it is delivered after April, we will not need it."
Zhang Cheng smiled and put the contract away: "Okay, I'll prepare as soon as possible after I get back. Give me a call when you return to China and I'll pick you up at the airport."
Chen Mo also smiled and extended his hand: "It's a pleasure to cooperate."
"Happy, happy." Zhang Cheng quickly shook hands with Chen Mo.
