Chapter 25 Acquisition of Silkworm Cocoons
  The online store hasn't been opened yet, and the team leader still has to negotiate with the town about the expansion.

Qiao Manman watched the workers trying to make silk quilts today. He seemed a little idle now and glanced at the door. Qiao Gan, a worker who buys silkworm cocoons, is preparing to drive to the next village to buy silkworm cocoons.

"Brother Qiao Gan, please take me with you. I will collect silkworm cocoons with you today." Qiao Manman shouted and ran to the car.

Qiao Gan didn't hesitate and asked Qiao Manman to get in the car and then drove to Anfu Village next door.

The car staggered on the road. The roads here were already full of potholes, but the village had no money to repair them.

"Brother Qiao Gan, are you used to this job?" He tilted his head and looked at Qiao Gan who was concentrating on driving.

"Hey, I was a little uncomfortable at first. Everyone was worried that we were cheating. Now everyone around us knows about us. It's easier to harvest the cocoon." When he first went to buy it, everyone thought he was a liar, and they were afraid that the price he offered was low. .

Later, they found out that he and they had taken it to the cocoon factory and sold it at a slightly higher price, so they felt relieved and let them buy it.

Anyan Village soon arrived, and Qiao Gan drove directly to the door of a house. It was their family who called Qiao Gan here today.

Generally, the silkworm cocoons in the village are brought together from silkworm seeds, and the silkworm babies raised in the village only take a day or two to spin cocoons and spin silk.

So today Qiao Gan came to collect the cocoons and the family was responsible for notifying him, and other families would also sell cocoons to him.

As soon as we entered the silkworm room, there were people picking silkworm cocoons. A few people were picking silkworm cocoons with checkered clusters, and two people were picking them using a machine. They were very busy.

The square cluster is the house where the silkworms spin their cocoons. It is divided into grids, and each silkworm baby stays in a grid to spin silk and spin its cocoon.

Some silkworm babies like to spin silk together with others, which turns into what everyone calls a double-uterine cocoon.

Double palace cocoon cannot be reeled or made into silk, but it can be used as the first choice for silk quilts.

But the fatal point is that the number of double-uterine cocoons is very small. For every two hundred pounds of silkworm cocoons, there may not be one pound of double-uterine cocoons.

Normal cocoon stations do not sell double palace cocoons at a high price. Many silk quilts on the market that are called double palace cocoons are 90% fake.

It seems that the number of silkworm babies raised by this family should be quite large.

Seeing Qiao Gan come in, he quickly greeted him, "Forrest Gump is here, sit down quickly, look at the silkworm cocoons I have this time, they are white and clean, and they are big. How much do you think I can offer?"

After grabbing a handful of silkworm cocoons in front of him, Qiao Gan checked the weight. The silkworm babies must have eaten well this time, and the quality of the silkworm cocoons was indeed good.

Then he went to check several other piles of silkworm cocoons. It's really nice, not a lot of dirt and twin cocoons.

I simply estimated that there should be more than three hundred kilograms here.

"I'll give you twenty-six pounds of silkworm cocoon." Qiao Gan stood up and patted the dust with both hands.

"Forrest Gump, please add more." The male owner of the household said again, and the two of them went back and forth and finally settled the deal with 281 kilograms.

When the neighbor next door came over and heard that it was twenty-eight pounds, he quickly asked Qiao Gan to take a look at his cocoons.

Normally, I can only sell twenty-five pounds per pound when I go to the Cocoon Station. Recently, A-Gump came to buy it. I don’t have to go to the Cocoon Station myself anymore, and I can still make more money.

In the end, Qiao Gan collected nearly 1,000 kilograms of silkworm cocoons from five families. Four of them sold for 281 kilograms, and only one bought the silkworm cocoons for 251 kilograms because the cocoons were not white enough.

Everyone who sells to Qiao Gan will fill out a form with the date, address, contact information, purchase price and weight.

These forms were requested by Qiao Manman. There are actually some local people who purchase silkworm cocoons. After purchasing them at low prices, they sort out the cocoons and sell them to cocoon stations at high prices.

Therefore, some silkworm farmers will take the cocoons to the cocoon station and sell them. Qiao Manman hopes that silkworm farmers can make money, so buyers are paid wages and commissions and do not make money from price differences. The source of such cocoons will also be more stable. The first reason for making the table is to facilitate the calculation of the acquisition of silkworm cocoons, and the second is to prevent buyers from earning the price difference.

Some cocoons will lose a few kilograms after being returned to the factory after being purchased at that time, because the cocoons will become drier as they are stored. This is also to avoid errors.

Before leaving, several families in the village made an agreement with Qiao Gan to come and buy them tomorrow. Their cocoons will not be ready until tomorrow.

Qiao Gan also agreed one by one. On the way, Qiao Manman had some questions: "Brother Qiao Gan, why did you only give them 26 yuan per catty for those silkworm cocoons when you could have given them 28 yuan per catty directly?"

When Qiao Manman recruited buyers, he also gave them free purchasing standards, as long as they did not exceed the range of thirty yuan per pound.

She does not need buyers to suppress the prices of silkworm farmers. Her original intention is to let silkworm farmers earn more money.

"Manman, I know what you mean. It was like this when I first started purchasing. At the beginning, every time after I told you the price I could give, the silkworm farmer would ask me to pay a few more dollars.

Then I really can’t give it anymore, and I will learn to be smart later.

I lowered the estimated price by a few bucks to give them some room to bargain with me. "

When Qiao Gan said this, Qiao Manman understood that acquiring the cocoon would require a battle of wits and courage.

Being a buyer is also very hard. In the beginning, you have to go to the villages to buy. Some villages will not sell to unfamiliar people at all.

Later I found out that Qiao Gan and the others sold it at a high price.

Now it takes half a month to go to each village to collect silkworm cocoons, and during the rest of the time, I have to do other work in the factory. Qiao Manman gives him a salary of 5,000 yuan every month, plus commission.

This job is very satisfying for Qiao Gan. He had been doing odd jobs on construction sites and following the construction sites.

I can't take care of my wife and children at the same time. Now I work in a factory in my village. After work, I spend time with my wife and children.

My wife also raises half a silkworm baby at home, and if she takes good care of her, she can earn more than 2,000 yuan a month.

After returning to the factory, several workers moved the cocoons off the cart and began sorting them.

The biuterine cocoon, superior cocoon and macular cocoon must be separated. Qiao Manman looked at these sorted cocoons and was a little anxious. The cocoons can be reeled into silk.

There still needs to be a silk factory in the village.

Thinking about Qiao Manman, her thoughts went to the horizon again.

The captain has been busy expanding the venue these two days, but that doesn't stop him from wanting to hold a start-up ceremony for Qiao Manman's factory.

This is the first factory in the village, so it would be boring to start it up silently. The captain first discussed a start-up time with the Qiao family.

Grandpa Qiao was superstitious and wanted to find a fortune teller to tell him a good time, but Qiao Manman quickly stopped him when he found out.

"Grandpa, let's stop being superstitious and believe in science." Grandpa Qiao finally persuaded him to go back.

Qiao Manman went back to the room, took out three coins, and used the divination technique of the three-legged cat that he had learned in the world of immortality to divine.

"The best time to turn on the computer is the day after tomorrow. Let's talk to the captain tomorrow." Qiao Manman muttered, looking at the coins in his hand.

Dahuang: Woof! What about trusting science?
