First, it goes through the "Jiabao Garden of Space Cultivation", that is, the saplings grow up in the space.
There are 85 Jiabao fruit trees in 2016. They are all artificially shaped, with a ground diameter of about 20 centimeters. The trunks have as many as five or six branches. Each trunk is as thick as an arm. They are covered with white flowers and smell fragrant. This piece of land has
Garbo fruit trees are the best...but not for sale.
Next are 2,900 10- and 15-year-old Jiabao fruit trees, with a ground diameter of more than 15 centimeters and many branched trunks.
Passing through the 2,900 large tree garden, you enter the small tree garden. This is the "Space Native Jiabao Orchard", with a diameter of less than 10 centimeters and sparsely blooming.
Finally, we came to the transplant garden, where there are 25 50-year-old Garbo fruit trees.
Nanfangyuan gave Chen Mo 20 pills, and Chen Mo also bought 20 pills. The 20 pills he bought cost a total of 4.1 million yuan, and 15 of them can be transplanted to the manor.
"These are 50-year-old Jiabao fruit trees. Look at the shape of the trees." Chen Mo looked at John Michael.
John Michael looked at the design planner who came with him...
"Nice tree shape, transported to the United States from China?" the planner asked.
"Of course, entering the customs proves that I still retain it." Chen Mo said.
"Tell me about the price. Your park is well planned. In order not to ruin the overall feeling, we want the first row, the third row, and the fifth row."
There are five rows in total, five in each row.
25 pieces...
Chen Mo specially brought a pen and paper out and read them row by row...
Here are 20 Jiabao fruit trees as gifts, but the price is based on the price of a 50-year-old Jiabao fruit tree...
"15, 1.5 million. How about that?" Chen Mo counted on his fingers.
Bai Xiaoou almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, this bastard is really evil!
Fortunately, he brought Chen Xiao over. Seeing John Michael's face twitching, Bai Xiaoou quickly gave Chen Xiao a look...
"Brother, you are too shameful. 10 pills, 1.5 million? The average price is 100,000 US dollars per pill, please lower the price." Chen Xiao said reluctantly.
This girl...
"For the sake of my sister, I'll give you a 10% discount."
"Mo, it's too expensive. If that's the case, we might as well send people to China to purchase." John Mike had a headache, why are things from River Valley Ranch so expensive? Not to mention beef, one word is 'expensive'. Goat milk from River Valley Ranch
It’s also expensive, and mutton is also expensive... Even the fruits of River Valley Ranch, John Michael went to the supermarket to learn about them. Figs sold for 30 US dollars per pound, Manor Garbo fruits cost 75 US dollars per pound, and Ranch Garbo fruits cost 60 US dollars per pound.
pounds. But to be honest, it is really delicious...especially the figs, which are sweet and delicious, with endless aftertaste. As for the Garbo fruit, there are obvious differences in the two varieties. The Manor Garbo fruit is indeed more delicious...
"You get what you pay for. There are not many Jiabao fruit trees in the world that are 50 years old. Since you are purchasing Jiabao fruit trees, you must have understood the price... 1.35 million, guaranteed."
"It is precisely because of my understanding that I said it was too expensive."
"Both the work and the planting are included. It can also be cheaper, 1.1 million U.S. dollars, so that both money and goods are paid off."
"It's too expensive. We are all friends. It's all-inclusive at $1.1 million."
John Michael is not very good at bargaining.
Chen Mo looked at Kang Si pretendingly: "For 1.1 million U.S. dollars, 15 trees will be sent to Napa and someone will be sent to take care of them for at least 3 months. What do you think?"
"Well... the labor costs are not cheap." Kang Si also hesitated in a polite way.
"Okay, stop acting. My third uncle lives in River Valley Manor. He can spare his time to help look after and guide me. It doesn't take much effort."
"That's okay." Chen Mo smiled: "I actually don't make much."
Chen Mo knows best how much profit there is.
"Next, we will have hundreds of 4.5-meter-high Jiabao trees here. You give us an honest price and we will choose them ourselves." Bai Xiaoou glared at Chen Mo. He really didn't want to do business with him, it was too shady.
"You have contacted Garbo Fruit in South America before. How much do they quote?"
"A Jiabao fruit tree with a ground diameter of 20 centimeters and a height of more than 3.5 meters starts at US$20,000. The other party is responsible for transportation, planting, and survival." Bai Xiaoou continued to glare at Chen Mo.
"In this way, a Garbo tree with a ground diameter of 1822 centimeters costs US$23,000. Except for the dozen Garbo fruit trees at the gate of the orchard, you can choose them at will. I am too lazy to settle the accounts one by one."
This...can be available.
John Michael's eyes lit up.
The price of purchasing Jiabao fruits from South America is slightly cheaper. But you have to face the problem of not being able to adapt to the local environment...
The Garbo fruit here is already a mature variety, and can be found at the Valley Manor in Napa. Recently, John Michael and Bai Xiaoou often go there together, and they are addicted to Garbo fruit.
Jiabao fruit is indeed delicious and can be eaten all year round. It’s just that some seasons have more, and some seasons have less...
"We have opened a 15-acre ecological garden at the Chef School. In addition to Garbo fruit trees, we also plant some figs and miracle fruits. I think the kumquats in your manor are good. How much does one cost?" Bai Xiaoou said.
"You can just purchase common fruits like kumquats and figs by yourself. I will sell them here, and you will have to discuss the price later. I will give you some miracle fruits. Also, do you want some seedlings of Jiabao fruit?
There is one at Valley Plantation, and you can choose any item under 2 meters tall for $50. So, it’s quite interesting.”
John Michael's face relaxed a lot, which is good.
"Mo, Chef College's 15-acre ecological park, I want to hire your ranch to be the college's ecological consultant." John Mike said.
Both sides are better, both sides have benefits, right?
Chen Mo looked at Kang Si and introduced: "This is Kang Si. You all know him. He is responsible for the planting of the pasture, ecological planning, and quality control."
"With the strength of the River Valley Ranch team, the area is only 15 acres, which is too small." Kang Si looked arrogant and a little reluctant: "But as a partner, there is no problem."
Kang Si is a young doctor, a capable person, and arrogant. But he does give Chen Mo face...
The reason why the prices of River Valley Ranch's products are so expensive is also due to Cons. The team he is responsible for strictly controls the quality of the products, especially for goat milk. It only took a few months to prepare the most suitable Dorper for breastfeeding.
Sheep need feed that not only increases goat milk production, but also produces goat milk of particularly good quality.
Cons is also responsible for the product control of the fresh milk factory. Goat milk has a particularly strong odor. How to remove the taint while retaining the most nutrients is also a technology that Cons has led the team to overcome.
Valley Ranch goat milk is expensive not only because of its nutrition, but also because of its texture and taste.
He is such an all-round talent, and his annual salary of 250,000 yuan is not in vain.
"We still have 45 acres of vineyards," John Mike said.
"OK."
"As a consultant, the issue of remuneration..." Chen Mo said with a smile: "At least we have to reimburse our employees' transportation and accommodation expenses."
"There's no problem with that."
River Valley Ranch may not know much about grape growing... but it probably does. There are nearly two hundred acres of vineyards on the ranch.
The reason why River Valley Ranch was invited as a consultant was because the Ranch Research Institute published several "agroecological reports" in natural science magazines, which caused quite a stir.
River Valley Ranch is so famous that it even has its own laboratory and research institute. After all, it is a comprehensive ranch that occupies the highest-end market of agricultural products. If it can't produce something, how can it be possible?
