Super Orchard

Chapter 140 Price War

In the Jinquan Orchard, a dozen or so small fruit wholesalers who have never been able to get enough supply in previous years are watching with a smile on their faces as boxes of bright red apples are being loaded.

In the past few years, the supply of apples in Jinquan Orchard was in short supply, even those big distributors could not satisfy the supply, not to mention these small wholesalers, they could only follow behind to buy some second-hand or third-hand products, and the cost increased significantly. few.

This year is different from the past. Those big distribution offices have all given up the golden spring apples and turned to the red meat apples that have just emerged in the past two years.

This situation has caused many people to be puzzled, but there are also some people who know the inside story. Bao Tiezhu, who is known as "Shunfeng Ear", is one of the insiders.

"I said Old Bao, tell us what's going on here?"

"I haven't figured it out until now, why is it cheaper for us shrimp soldiers and crab generals this year?"

Bao Tiezhu had a big belly, and the old god said: "I heard from a big boss that this red apple has a lot of background!"

"Aren't the red-fleshed apples just been stir-fried in the past two years? What's their origin?"

Bao Tiezhu smiled slightly and said, "I'm talking about the red-fleshed apples in our Northeast corner. Do you know where the supply comes from? It's from Hujia Village in our county!"

Several local wholesalers nodded. They deal with fruits every day, and they know exactly where to grow fruits.

"But the big boss behind the apple orchard in Hujia Village is said to be a big man, with his hands and eyes. It is said that those big fruit distributors who have business in the provincial capital have been informed that if they buy and sell red flesh apples, they are not allowed to deal in any other apples. , and no matter who buys or sells Jinquan apples, the consequences will be quite serious!"

"Is this big boss so overbearing?"

"After distributing his red meat apples, he is not allowed to distribute other apples. This is understandable, but it is a bit unreasonable to explicitly prohibit people from picking and selling Jinquan apples?"

"That's right, are those big dealers weak? If others say they are not allowed to buy and sell, they won't buy and sell them? If it were me, I would only sell Jinquan apples. I want to see what the big boss can do to me!"

When everyone was chatting non-stop, Bao Tiezhu said lightly: "If you cut off people's money, these big dealers will certainly not pay the bill, but the big boss gave a heartfelt The way is to buy and sell red-fleshed apples, so that the interests of those people are preserved, who would be free to offend the big boss?"

When everyone heard the same reasoning, they couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"You said we are here to wholesale Jinquan apples, will the big boss deal with us?"

"I think so too. It is said that one thing more is worse than one thing less, or we won't do this business?"

At this time, Bao Tiezhu, who had been regarded as the backbone, became calm and said: "Why are you worrying about this? With only three or two of us big and small cats, how could the big boss put us in his eyes?"

The person who was worried before breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "That's right, we also ran around the farmer's market and some fruit shops around the county town. The size is too small, and people won't pay attention to us at all. inside."

In the apple orchard, except for the 90 catties of apples transported to the fruit wine factory, nearly half of the remaining 40 catties of apples have been picked, about 30 catties. wholesaler.

Because of the relatively small scale of their operations, and the fact that there was a big boss in the market, they only bought [-] to [-] catties each.

The remaining 50 catties of apples are still hanging on the tree, so that the freshness of the apples can be kept for a longer period of time. Shen Yangguang plans to wait until these small wholesalers have digested all the apples in their hands before picking the apples off the tree. Keep selling them.

If there is a problem with the sales of the first batch of 40 jin of apples, the 50 jin of apples hanging on the tree will have to think of other ways.

These small wholesalers also have the same idea, that is, if the batch of fruits is easy to sell, then they will continue to come and purchase them. A lot of rotten apples can't be sold.

Although the scale of these small wholesalers is small, they are fast enough. It only took one day. In the county town and surrounding counties and cities, Jinquan apples appeared in fruit shops and farmers' markets at the same time.

The Golden Spring Apple, which has been on sale for several years, received rave reviews, and it became very popular as soon as it went on sale. Seeing this scene, Bao Tiezhu and others were all grinning from ear to ear.

But on the second day, Bao Tiezhu and the others couldn't laugh anymore, but were a little dumbfounded, because the red-fleshed apples that were in full bloom these days suddenly appeared next to every Jinquan apple stall overnight!
What made Bao Tiezhu even more unbearable was that on the price tag of red meat apples, there was a big 80 yuan per catty, with a big red cross drawn on it, and a special price of 40 yuan per catty was marked on the side!
Although the reputation of Jinquan apples around the county is very good, it was suddenly overwhelmed by the overwhelming publicity of red flesh apples during this period. Moreover, red flesh apples have been on the market for several days, and Jinquan apples have just entered the market.

In addition, some large commercial supermarkets and brand chain fruit stores sell all red meat apples, and there is basically no shadow of Jinquan apples. Everyone has a herd mentality. Seeing these scenes, many people think that Red flesh apples are much better than golden spring apples.

In addition, these two kinds of apples are high-end apples, normal people don’t consume too much, and more people are only willing to buy one kind to taste at home, rather than spend a lot of money to eat all kinds.

Regardless of the intensity of publicity, the degree of popularity in the market, the difference between large stores and small stalls, and even in terms of price, Jinquan apples all fall into a disadvantage.

Originally, red meat apples were more popular than Jinquan apples during this period of time. At this time, they were directly sold at half price, which was cheaper than Jinquan apples. This made many customers who were struggling to decide which apple to buy immediately. Of course It's time to buy cheap and popular red apples!
Bao Tiezhu also has a fruit shop at his home, and he was warmly entertaining customers who bought Jinquan apples, when suddenly another person walked in and asked directly: "Boss, do you have red meat apples at home?"

Now as soon as Bao Tiezhu heard the words "red meat apples", Bao Tiezhu became dizzy. When he said no, the people who came here turned around and left. As he left, he asked, "Old Tie, are you talking about the kind of apples that are very popular these days? Where are they sold? I'll go buy some and have a taste."

Seeing this scene, Bao Tiezhu felt that there was nothing to love about life. If this situation continues, it will not take long. Let alone the tens of thousands of catties of Jinquan apples in his hands, even his fruit shop I am afraid that the performance of the company will also be affected and will decline sharply.

The scene similar to Bao Tiezhu's here was staged at the other ten wholesalers at the same time, only a few of them had already sold the Golden Spring apples in advance, and they were counting the money with a smile at this time.

Most of the rest were frowning, not knowing what to do.
