Dashan Orchard 1988

Chapter 214 Peach Garden Harvesting Peaches

To be honest, Li Muyang felt that Wu Zhongshi was a bit troublesome and verbose.

He didn't come today to compliment Wu Zhongshi.

He praised Wu Zhongshi a few words, and Wu Zhongshi praised him a few more.

This doesn't make much sense, it's just a waste of time.

If possible, he hoped to use the simplest words to explain both people's problems clearly.

If you can cooperate, then cooperate well; if you can't, then make improvements and find the points of convergence between the two people.

But Wu Zhongshi was like this, and Li Muyang had no choice but to cooperate with his performance.

What people value is different. Some people like to do things simply, some people value interests more, and some people hope to obtain better interests based on their own set of principles of life.

No one can impose his or her ideas on others.

Similarly, no one can catch up with others on a track that others don't like to follow.

Therefore, no matter how much Li Muyang liked this, he still had to endure it and wait until Wu Zhongshi finished speaking.

"Then let's do it. We have agreed that I will send someone over tomorrow to check on the quality of your peaches.

If possible, I would pay part of the deposit in advance.

Then after three days, I will arrange for a car to come over.

Look at the peach pickers, prepare them in advance and don’t delay for too long. A day’s drive also costs money.We try to keep these costs to a minimum as much as possible, so that I can evenly distribute more profits to you, don’t you think? "

"That's great. Okay, I'll wait at home, maybe tomorrow."

"Correct."

When Li Muyang left, the old lady came back. He thanked the old lady again for giving him the towel. The old lady just nodded casually and didn't say much.

He saw Wu Zhongshi quickly stood up and helped the old lady take the things in her hands, with a respectful attitude, no different from his son.

This guy is really like what he said. He is indeed a very filial and respectful person.

On the other hand, if you think about it, a person with such moral character should be a trustworthy person.

There are so many intrigues in the business world, I wonder how someone like him got around?

At around ten o'clock the next morning, people sent by Wu Zhongshi arrived.

When Li Muyang took a look, he didn't expect to know him.

He is Wu Zhongshi's third brother, named Wu Renyi.

When he was in the hospital before, the person he met the most was his second brother Wu Xiaozhi.

Wu Renyi came relatively rarely.

It seems that they have a division of labor. Wu Renyi is mainly responsible for helping Wu Zhongshi take care of business, while Wu Xiaozhi is probably not very smart, so he can only take care of his mother and do some chores.

Wu Renyi and Li Muyang had had conflicts before, and they almost fought with sticks.

But after a series of events that followed, when they met each other, they were no longer tense as before, but warm and enthusiastic, just like a pair of old friends.

"Mr. Wu, I've been looking forward to having you here. Your brother said yesterday that he would arrange for someone to come over to see my peaches today. I didn't expect you to be here."

"Brother Shepherd, don't call me Mr. Wu. Just call me Renyi."

"is this okay?"

"What's wrong with this? From now on, you can just call me Mr. Wu when you see me. It's convenient for the rest of us to just call you by your first name. Otherwise, I will call you Boss Li. Isn't that boring?"

"Haha, that's true. Well, let's take a rest first, or should we go directly to the Taoyuan to see peaches?"

"Well, let's not rest anymore. I have to go somewhere else in the afternoon. Let's go directly to Taoyuan."

"Okay, let's go this way. Let me introduce to you. This is Wang Tianxiao, who runs the Taoyuan with me. He is an expert in fruit trees. If you have anything to do, you can talk to our brother Wang later."

Li Muyang did not forget to introduce Wang Tianxiao to Wu Renyi. At this time, Mi Dama was hiding, and he could not introduce him to others.

It's not like I was deliberately discriminating against him or anything.

Mi Dama has been staying at Li Muyang's house for a while.

Now I am basically familiar with my family.

Especially since she is relatively close to Yuan Rufeng.

Maybe Mi Dama has a natural sense of dependence on the old man, and Yuan Rufeng was very sympathetic to Mi Dama when she heard about Mi Dama's tragic experience. Although she said she didn't do anything else, her words of concern also particularly benefited Mi Dama.

Wu Renyi glanced at Wang Tian, ​​smiled and nodded without saying much.

Maybe in his eyes, Wang Tianxiao is the person who works for Li Muyang, so there is no need to deal with him too much, and he should not be very polite to him.

The reason why he was polite to Li Muyang was because Li Muyang saved his mother in the hospital. His eldest brother Wu Zhongshi had repeatedly emphasized to him that Li Muyang was not a creature of the pond. This person might make things big in the future. Establishing a long-term cooperative relationship with him is very beneficial to both parties.

Wu Renyi is different from Wu Xiaozhi. Wu Xiaozhi has a more reckless personality. If something can be solved with money and fists, he will not speak.

But after all, Wu Renyi is following Wu Zhongshi to do business, so he is naturally versatile.

But it also resulted in the habit of putting interests first.

In his eyes, Wang Tianxiao had no interest in him for the time being.

Investing energy and emotion is a waste of time and not worthwhile.

Businessmen must pay attention to the return on all investments.Wang Tianxiao should not meet this condition.

Wang Tianxiao didn't say anything.

Anyway, if Li Muyang asked him to accompany him, then he would.

He gave Li Muyang face.

After all, he has been selling eggs outside for several years, and he is used to seeing all kinds of people's faces.

Some people have to pick and choose eggs in front of them even if they cost a few cents. Even if they say a lot of outrageous things, they won't get angry. They just smile and let others pick.

So Wu Renyi was already very polite.

The three of them walked forward along the paved road. Wu Renyi was very surprised to see such a road in such a place.

Knowing that it was Li Muyang who laid it out bit by bit, I admired him even more.

As the saying goes, if you want to get rich, you must first build a road. This peach garden is on the mountain, if there is no good road.If the peaches can't come out and other supplies can't come in, it's impossible for the peach orchard to be successful.

You can't just rely on people carrying baskets one by one. That would require too much labor and indirectly increase the cost of peaches, and in the end you won't be able to make much money.

For an orchard with a large area like this, and with fruits like peaches that are easily damaged, profits are generally relatively low.

Unlike apples and pears, which can be sealed and sold to the south, and the price can increase a lot, peaches are basically digested inland.

After walking for about 20 minutes, a few people arrived at Taoshan.

Wu Renyi stopped and took a look at the overall appearance of Taoyuan.

There was a look of appreciation in his eyes.

"Not bad, Brother Shepherd, you have really done a good job raising this peach garden."

"Absolutely, we are just messing around anyway." Li Muyang said with a smile.

"You are going too far. Don't be so polite. You did a good job. We have actually seen a lot of fruit gardens, but basically none of them can be as neat as yours.

Each peach tree is meticulously pruned, grafted very neatly, and the seedling emergence rate is also very high.

Don’t think this is easy. If you can do this, you are already better than many, many people.

Having said that, I am more confident in the future development of your peach garden, and I also believe that your peaches should taste good. "

"Well, you've got to thank you for this. I haven't invested too much time in it. It's mainly because our brother Wang and another brother are working in it. It's all their credit."

"is it?"

Wu Renyi then turned around, took a serious look at Wang Tianxiao, and became much more enthusiastic.

He stretched out his hand and said to Wang Tianxiao: "Brother Wang, you can't see Taishan. Please forgive me for my neglect just now."

It is indeed a dragon that travels south and north.

As soon as he discovered Wang Tianxiao's role, he immediately turned around and became too enthusiastic.At this point, Li Muyang felt that even Wu Zhongshi could not do it.

If it were Li Muyang himself, he might have been more respectful and enthusiastic towards Wang Tianxiao from the beginning. He would never suppress first and then improve, depending on what others do.

"What I have done is not good enough, but Brother Shepherd trusts me and entrusts this matter to me. I will definitely do my best and do it as much as possible.

Boss Wu, please believe that the peaches here are absolutely safe. They have not been treated with any pesticides, just for fear of leaving any residue and causing harm to the human body.

In addition, I heard Brother Muyang say, if you are making cans, right, there must be a residual problem, which must be inspected by the inspection department. I can guarantee that our products will be inspected at any time, and there will definitely be no trouble. "

"Okay, then let's go in."

Wu Renyi nodded. What Wang Tianxiao said was also an issue he was very concerned about.

The three of them entered Taoyuan and walked along the 15 acres in the west.

Although Wu Renyi said it very casually outside, he was still very serious when he looked at it. Basically, he looked at the peaches on every tree carefully.

I would use my hands to measure the proportions from time to time. When I saw a spot with insect eyes, I would turn it over and over to look at it. Sometimes I would even bring the peach to my mouth to smell it.

This is the professional quality of doing business.

Keep emotions and interests very separate at all times.

Even though there are a lot of connections outside, when you go inside you still have to focus on real goods, and you will never neglect the quality of the product because of other things.

Li Muyang and Wang Tianxiao followed him and didn't say much. Anyway, they were more confident in their peaches.

When Wu Renyi asked anything, they would just answer a few words, without adding fuel, jealousy or exaggeration.

The peach display is right here, it’s useless to talk too much about it.

Li Muyang not only asked Wu Renyi to pick the peaches and taste them.

Although the peaches are not yet fully ripe, and it will take several days before they are fully ripe, the sweetness has actually come out.

It is impossible to pick any fruit within the first day or two when it is ripe, then it is already too late.

Peaches are early-maturing fruits, so they are picked late.

For example, things like kiwis and mangoes need to be ripened after being picked.

If you wait for it to mature on the tree, it will basically be impossible to sell and it will rot quickly.

Li Muyang has a banana and pear tree at home. It is also a late-ripening fruit. If you put it on the tree, it will fall down when it is ripe and rotten, making it impossible to eat.

Generally, people will pick it off when it is very hard and put it in a rice vat to cover it, and then eat it after it softens.

"Brother Shepherd, I think it looks good. I looked around and found yours to be a peach. The quality is about the same as described, there is no problem, and it basically meets our needs.

Let's do this, my brother also said it before coming here.

Today I will make a deposit first. Look at this peach, let’s estimate it to be 1 jins. No, 1 jins cannot stop it. I did a rough calculation and it should be around 15000 jins.

After excluding some things that we really can’t charge, let’s calculate it at 30. Of course, if it’s more, it doesn’t matter. I’ll pay you a [-]% deposit first... Oh, by the way, have you not negotiated the price before, right? . "

"Well, I didn't say it.

Yesterday, I only discussed our intentions with Mr. Wu. He didn't see our peaches at that time, and it was really hard to say the price.

Brother Renyi, you saw it today, what price do you think you can give? "

"Well, let me think about it."

Wu Renyi began to think about how he wanted to compare peaches from other places.

I was thinking again, before leaving, my elder brother specifically told me that if the peaches here are of good quality, then they must be collected at the highest price.

It seems that the eldest brother has great trust in this Li Muyang and is willing to give him face.

If this is the case, then there is no need to hold it down.

So as not to hurt the harmony between eldest brother and Li Muyang.

"Let's do this. Except for the ones with bug eyes and rotten ones, I will take all the rest, no matter how big or small. Then I will give you [-] cents per pound. What do you think?"

"Two cents?"

Li Muyang was slightly startled.

"What? Don't you think it's a bit low? How about I give you another point? It's just two cents.

You also know that Brother Muyang, the price is actually very reasonable.

Let me just say this, I haven't received two cents for a peach a few times.

As for how many harvests there will be, to be honest, the quality of the peaches will be much better than what you have now.

I believe your peaches will improve in the future and become better after grafting, but this batch of peaches can only be said to be average to above average. "

"No, no, no, Brother Renyi, you misunderstood. I think two cents is already pretty good. Instead of two cents, just two cents.

Mr. Wu, you think so highly of us, we must not fail to appreciate it.It’s only 12000 cents. We calculate it as [-] kilograms. When the time comes, we will refund more and compensate less. "

When Wu Renyi heard that he had increased the price, Li Muyang did not want to increase the price, and he immediately appreciated him even more.

After all, a pound of peaches costs a penny, and 12000 pounds costs an extra 120 yuan. This is not a small sum.

But what he admired even more was that Li Muyang actually knew how to sense proportion.

Both myself and my eldest brother have given him a certain amount of face and respect.

He felt and understood this respect well, and did not regard him as capital to be arrogant.

There is no such thing as haggling.

He actually thought about it a lot before coming here. If he made a bid, Li Muyang relied on his relationship with his eldest brother to make further progress, so he wouldn't argue too much with him this time.

Basically whatever he wants, he will give it to him.

But after he returns, he will tell his elder brother not to cooperate with Li Muyang again.

At any time, people in the Wu family have the most basic standard for doing business, which is to only make part of the money, not all the money.

The teaching passed down from the older generation is that you should take advantage of yourself and make it difficult for others to survive.

In other words, when you are particularly greedy and get profits that you shouldn't get, it may be the root of trouble and a foreshadowing that one day your business will not be able to survive at all.

"Okay, let's settle the account according to the two cents per catty you said. Well, 12000 catties is two thousand and four, I'll give it to you. Pay 30% first, oh, forget it, I'll just pay you half of the money first. There’s not much in total anyway.”

"Ah, that's a good relationship. Thank you, Brother Renyi. I'm just short of money?"

Li Muyang wants to contract the remaining 220 acres of land. If it is paid for one year, it will be 220, and then it will be paid for ten years at a time, which will be 2200, so he also needs money now.

When this peach is sold, it will be exactly 2400, and this hole can be filled.

"Are you short of money? Is it because of building a house? I just came over and saw that your family was building a house."

"For this reason, and also because I have contracted so much land, I won't be able to turn around the peaches for a while, right? It may take a year or two at the earliest before we can harvest.

There is no need for money in the process!
I am an old farmer and have never saved much money before.

Unlike you, you are in big business and can spend a lot of money every minute. "

"Oh, that's it. Then you can tell us if you are short of money. Based on your relationship with my brother, I can give you an advance of several thousand yuan, no problem."

"How can this be done? This is so embarrassing. Your money also needs to be used for turnover."

"What's the point of being embarrassed? You saved my mother in the hospital. It was a life-saving grace.

Besides, we also believe in your character and morality, and you are not one of those people who will cheat when you borrow money.

And lending money doesn’t mean giving you money, and borrowing money doesn’t mean you won’t pay it back, right? "

When Wu Renyi mentioned borrowing money, Li Muyang's heart moved slightly, but he quickly gave up.

Of course he needs money, and he also knows that someone else has lent him money, so he doesn't need to search so hard for the time being. He can start the business slowly, wait until the peach harvest is good, and then pay off the debt.

However, borrowing money is actually not just about money, but also about favors.

He fears favors the most and knows that favors are the most difficult to repay.
