Chapter 139 Apple Harvest
Chapter 130 Eight Apple Harvest

In late September, the autumn air is crisp and clear.

In the apple orchard of Jinquan Orchard, after years of meticulous care, the [-]-acre apple tree has entered the fruit-bearing period, and the branches are covered with red fruits.

After picking and weighing all the apples, Shen Yangguang was pleasantly surprised to find that this year's apple yield per mu reached a new high of [-] jin! Of course, there are also reasons for the increase in planting density.

Before the apple trees were transplanted, there were a total of more than 130 mu of land. After transplanting, the planting area became [-] mu, and the overall number of fruit trees remained the same. It is not surprising that the yield per mu has increased significantly when the supply of various nutrients is sufficient. .

During this period of time, Zhou Jianguo has been busy with opening stores in other places, but he is still as concerned about the apple production as before. He called in a timely manner and asked: "General manager, how is the apple production in our orchard?"

Shen Yangguang said in a good mood: "This year's output is even higher than in previous years, with a total of 100 million catties! Except for the 90 catties left for brewing cider as usual, the remaining [-] catties can be sold directly."

Zhou Jianguo pinched his fingers and said: "In the past, I used to wholesale fruits at a price of 30 yuan per catty in the orchard, and then sell them to distributors at a price between 35 yuan and 40 yuan. This year, I, the middleman, is missing. This batch of apples can be sold for more than 3000 million!"

"Yes! By the way, how are the stores now?"

"Currently, the decoration work of the storefronts in our county and the three stores in the provincial capital has come to an end, and they can be used immediately after cleaning. The stores in surrounding cities and counties are also progressing smoothly. Some are being renovated, and some have signed contracts. A few are still selecting sites.”

Shen Yangguang nodded. He was quite familiar with these situations, because basically the two would talk on the phone once a day.

Zhou Jianguo continued: "Furthermore, the price of these apples after entering the market is basically 50 yuan per catty. If we don't find distributors, but send them directly to our own stores for sale, the benefits will be better. The total income can reach 500 million yuan!"

"I've also considered this matter, but most of the shops can't put it into use right now. Only a few shops can use it if they rush to work, but it's too anxious, so it's not the time yet."

Zhou Jianguo, who has been busy with various stores, has long wanted to see if the stores he opened can stand the test, and then said: "We can first sell apples in a few stores in the county and provincial capitals, and then we can make our reputation better." stand up!"

"I'm afraid hundreds of thousands of catties of apples can't be digested by these few stores alone. Let's be patient for a while. When all the stores are ready, fifty stores will open at the same time. The effect and influence will be unspeakable." , you can gain fame faster.”

Zhou Jianguo didn't say any more, and continued to devote himself to the great business of opening a store.

In Hujia Village, in the 200-acre apple orchard, the bright red fruits have already matured. Although the red-fleshed apple trees here are still bearing fruit in the first year, the yield per mu is only [-] jin, but the scale cannot be too large, and the total output has reached [-] million catties!
As the manager of the orchard in Hujia Village, Hu Dawei grinned from ear to ear, and kept walking around the apple transport truck.

Ouyang Junjie, who was standing aside, was not as happy as he was, because these fruit trees had nothing to do with him, and only the basically completed resort hotel had his shares here.

Hu Dawei was different, the better the benefits of these fruit trees, the higher his bonus would be, so when he looked at these fruits, it seemed that he was looking at golden apples.

After laughing for a long time, Hu Dawei suppressed his joy and said: "Little boss, now the apples in Jinquan Orchard have begun to be picked and are ready to go on the market. Now, according to the big boss, where there are Jinquan apples, there will be our red apples." Flesh apple."

Ouyang Junjie said with a cold face: "The speed must be fast. We must go to the market before them. First set a price of 80 yuan per catty. After their apples are on the market, we will lower the price to 50 yuan per catty! Hahaha !"

Hu Dawei also knows this truth, so he has been arranging workers to work overtime for picking in the past two days, and large trucks full of red meat apples drove to the county and provincial capitals.

The fruits of Jinquan Orchard began to appear on the market. Zhou Jianguo, who had been busy opening a store, took a few days to contact his former partners and prepare to sell this batch of apples.

What makes him feel a little strange is that at this time in previous years, those distributors would ask him to order Jinquan apples some time in advance, but this year they didn't even receive a single call.

At the beginning, Zhou Jianguo thought that everyone had heard that he was in charge of the Jinquan Orchard store and would no longer handle wholesale work, so he didn't take this matter to heart at first.

After calling a few old acquaintances, Zhou Jianguo suddenly felt a sense of crisis, because he found that no matter what these people said, most of them meant that they would no longer purchase and sell Jinquan apples.

Zhou Jianguo was shocked by this result, and quickly called a good brother of his back then, who is the manager of the fresh food area of ​​Jiafu Supermarket in the county: "Lao Li, Jinquan apples are now on the market, and your store plans to sell them this year. how much?"

Manager Li smiled wryly and said, "Old Zhou, it's not that I don't want it, but that our company's headquarters suddenly took back the purchasing rights of fruits this year. Our stores have no right to purchase them, and now they are all purchased and delivered by the headquarters."

Now all the fruit wholesalers and supermarkets don't want Jinquan apples. With Zhou Jianguo's experience for so many years, he has already seen that there is a problem, so he brought up the old friendship and asked about it.

After hesitating for a moment, Manager Li said slowly: "Now we have a large number of red-fleshed apples uniformly distributed by the headquarters in our store. As a high-end item, I guess the reason lies in these red-fleshed apples."

After asking similar answers from several other distributors, Zhou Jianguo hurriedly found Shen Yangguang and told him about the matter.

Shen Yangguang suddenly remembered that he had heard Huang Weicheng say that the apples in Hujia Village were also high-end varieties, which seemed to be red flesh apples, and they would be on the market this year.

Thinking of this, Shen Yangguang understood a little bit, this should be the ghost of Hujiacun and the others.

Although he knew the cause of the matter, Shen Yangguang had no good solution, so he could only let Zhou Jianguo continue to contact the remaining few distributors who were willing to continue to sell Jinquan apples.

After some communication, Shen Yangguang found out that those big distributors are now all dealing in red flesh apples, and only small fruit wholesalers with weaker strength are willing to continue to purchase Jinquan apples.

Seeing nearly a million catties of ripe apples in the orchard, Shen Yangguang knew that time would not wait for him. If the delay continues, the quality of these fruits will be greatly reduced. At this time, he can only find tall people among the short ones to wholesale these small fruits All the merchants were used, and at the same time, some discounts were made to appease the morale of the army.

In previous years, after Zhou Jianguo got Jinquan apples at a price of 30 yuan a catty, he would resell them at a price between 35 yuan and 40 yuan. To these little greengrocers.
