American Ranch

Chapter 99 Finalizing the Contract
Chen Mo called Bright and asked him to kill two lambs, looked at Zhang Cheng and his son as an invitation gesture, and went into the tree vineyard...

"Help me take a look at this newly transplanted vine." Chen Mo looked at Zhang Cheng and lit a cigarette.

Zhang Cheng smiled awkwardly, and stepped forward to look at the green fruit on the tree.

Some green fruits are very firm, and some green fruits fall off when touched lightly.There is a lot of ripe fruit on it, which is okay.

"Mr. Chen is really interested in grapes?"

"Well, of course."

"Your way of playing now is not good... vines are easy to grow, and it is not easy to bear fruit. Especially when transplanted to a new place..." Zhang Cheng also decided to share some of his experience. The way things are done in the United States is different from that in China. , Sincerity may be able to receive better results: "The newly transplanted seedlings will indeed bear fruit in the same year, but it is best to grow the roots first."

"Tree grapes like humidity and are afraid of drought, and they can't be soaked in water. The soil here...it's better to spread some ground grass, which can lock the soil moisture and maintain underground humidity. Tree grapes like fertile soil, moderate is good, and it can't be nutritious. Otherwise, it will only grow leaves but not blossom and bear fruit."

According to the contract, Zhang Cheng will send someone to guide Chen Mo and the others in planting vines, and the scope of guidance is only the few thousand saplings he just purchased.

"You mean, pick all the flowers and fruits from the tree?" Chen Mo stroked his chin. The space he had was magical, but all things naturally had their own laws, and they were not abnormal to a particularly outrageous level.

"You don't need to pick them all. Since they are already blooming and fruiting, you have to 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, they can be picked off, leaving few flower buds. That’s right. At least wait for the roots to grow, otherwise there will be a lot of fruits and flowers, which will absorb the nutrients of the tree itself. The most important thing is the soil... I have seen the climate in California, it should not be suitable for the growth of vines. To make it grow faster, artificial management must be strengthened, especially in the dry summer, it should be watered more, and at the same time increase the water-holding capacity of the soil. The planting density here is too sparse, and the soil in the corridor of the garden will be exposed to direct sunlight. You can plant some short grass to keep the soil moisture ... when the roots of the trees are developed, you can reduce human intervention."

Chen Mo touched his chin: "I can sign a purchase contract with you for 200 million US dollars, just the price, I hope you will be more honest."

For 2-year-old grapes, 20-40 centimeters in length, online ordering costs an average of 20 yuan per piece, which can be half the price if the quantity is large.Three-year-olds cost more than [-] yuan a piece, and if the quantity is large, it can be half cheaper...

In four years, the price of saplings has basically doubled, even more than [-] yuan a piece.And for a six-year-old, it costs five or six hundred ones.But that's an online quote...

The batch of 1.2-1.5-meter saplings ordered by Chen Mo is unreasonably expensive.

A large nursery, especially a fruit nursery, earns over one million a year, which is quite a lot.

Chen Mo himself is too lazy to cultivate fruit seedlings, no matter in the space or outside.I was busy working alone in the space, and I was tired.Outside, it's too time consuming...

Zhang Cheng rubbed his hands, two million dollars...

After deducting the customs duties and transportation fees to enter the United States, the income should be around 1000 million RMB.He was able to build a nursery garden from his father's generation, and the total turnover until now has not reached 1000 million.

If you want to earn 1000 million, unless the land is developed.

Zhang Chengxin has an account in his account, such as the previous two orders of 10,000+ US dollars, excluding the cost, he made a net profit of millions...

This time you can set up an offshore company and export offshore...

People can't be too greedy, too greedy, the opportunity may fly away.

Zhang Cheng nodded again and again: "I will reorganize the quotation... In addition, there are hundreds of 50-year-old vines in my nursery. If Mr. Chen likes it, I will give you 20." This is Chen Mo's compensation for the high price.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang. Let's go back and finalize the price. If it suits me, I will purchase from you."

Back at the villa, I just ran into Brett who came over.

"Boss, the workers are ready, start planting trees now?" Bright said.

"The planting distance should be larger to ensure driving."

Zhang Cheng looked at Chen Mo: "Let Zhang Rui go over and help, and he can also tell you the precautions of Shu Grape."

"Row."

After Brett 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, and then contacted the video to measure the thickness and height of the tree species with a ruler...

Chen Mo is not interested in tree species that are too small.

At least 1.2 meters or more is required...

After counting the number of tree species in the nursery, Zhang Cheng made a list...

Six-year-old, with a tree diameter within 1.8 cm, bare stem seedlings (without branches) in greenhouses, no more than 1.2 in height, starting at 2, 75 yuan a piece, and the price to the pasture.

The previous seedlings cost US$110 each, and were 1.2-1.5 meters high. According to the data, they were born in [-], but they were actually born in [-] or [-] years. However, there are forked branches, and they are all carefully selected seedlings.This kind of saplings are expensive, and they are bought in large quantities in the domestic market, only two or three hundred.

Six-year-old, two-fork, 110 yuan a piece.Trident, 150 RMB.

Seven-year-old...bare stem seedlings, 85 yuan per piece, minimum order of 1 pieces. 2 fork seedlings, 120 yuan each. 3 fork seedlings, 160 yuan each.

In addition, there are potted seedlings. The price of potted seedlings with soil is more expensive. They are 7-year-old 1.2-1.5 meters high and cost 400 yuan. They are all 2-pronged and 3-pronged seedlings.

Seeing this, Chen Mo was speechless for a while, 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.Small saplings have to wait, depending on the tree diameter, tree height, ground diameter...

Ten-year-old hanging fruit seedlings start at 2000 yuan each. Depending on the shape and size of the tree, the expensive ones can sell for [-] to [-] yuan (excluding shipping costs).

There are also large tree species, more than 15 years old, more than 20 years old, more than 25 years old, even 50 years old trees... Old trees can still bear fruit after a hundred years, these are called evergreen trees.In China, it can be said that century-old grapes are rare, and some of them are brought back from foreign countries by all means...

The vine grows slowly, and the 50-year-old tree is only five or six meters high.Zhang Cheng was willing to give Chen Mo 20, also to reach a cooperation, plus the previous ugly eating, it is an apology.

Chen Mo plans to plant 300 to 500 acres of vines, and he doesn't need the density of planting in small valleys. The vines needed may reach 15... Zhang Cheng's plantation is not so much after all the plantations are uprooted.From this, I know that he will import from other nurseries, and the quotation here is still profitable...

Originally, who would do a business without profit, as long as it is not too much, Chen Mo can accept it.

This offer Chen Mo can basically accept, almost reached the offer of Wanwan Nursery, and the other party also included the shipping cost...

"I still have dozens of acres of old trees in my nursery, more than 20 years old. If Mr. Chen likes them, he can come to my place to have a look. The price is easy to negotiate." Zhang Cheng sorted out the basic quotation list and handed it to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo nodded: "Six-year-old bare stem seedlings are too expensive. 60 ones, I want 5 here."

"Six-year-old two-forked and three-forked seedlings, 85 a piece, as many as you want."

"There are 200 pot seedlings in one unit, and those with branches that are more than six years old, as many as there are."

Zhang Cheng's mind turned very quickly: "Transport pot seedlings with soil? The shipping cost is too expensive. I may not make money and lose money for 200 ones. 300 ones...should be able to get 1." The current quotation, Zhang Cheng is here to cover the shipping fee, luckily the quantity is large...

"Okay, 1 potted seedlings. 300 ones." From China to San Francisco, the price of a standard box is about 1500 US dollars.There are more goods from domestic to the west coast, and less goods from the west coast to domestic, sometimes the price of a standard box can reach 2000 US dollars.Little Miaozi is okay, a container can hold a lot when bundled together.Green seedlings with bonsai will not work...

Chen Mo said that he looked at his phone. Today is the 11th, and he will go home for the New Year in about [-] days...

"Old grape trees, I also need some here. Specifically, I will return to China after a while and visit your nursery." Chen Mo said and printed the contract, Chinese and English...

Pot seedlings, 300 yuan each, as many as you want, with soil.

5 bare seedlings, 60 yuan per one.

Forked seedlings, 85 pieces.

...cash on delivery.

"Mr. Chen, how much would you like to give as a deposit?" Zhang Cheng looked at the contract flatteredly, but it was only cash on delivery, without any deposit.

"Cash on delivery, if you are worried, send someone over." Chen Mo said and signed the contract: "I don't care about this little money. Besides, the contract is clearly written in black and white. When the goods arrive, they will be checked immediately." Settlement. By the way, liquidated damages..." Chen Mo tore up the contract he had just filled out, and added liquidated damages, which was 300 million US dollars: "How about it, you can rest assured now."

Zhang Cheng smiled wryly and nodded. Having said that, a few million dollars may not be a big deal to Chen Mo, but it is a huge deal to him.

Zhang Cheng couldn't understand the contract in English, so he only signed it in Chinese. After calling Zhang Rui back to read it, he signed it.

"Forked seedlings, how many do you really want?"

"Cash on delivery, as much as you want." Chen Mo said with a smile: "Before April, it says, after April, it will be unnecessary."

Zhang Cheng smiled and put away the contract: "Okay, I will prepare as soon as possible after I go back. When you return to China, give me a call and I will pick you up at the airport."

Chen Mo also smiled, and stretched out his hand: "It's a happy cooperation."

"Happy, happy." Zhang Cheng quickly shook hands with Chen Mo.
