I am farming in the real world.

Chapter 17: Selling Vegetables is a Big Question

"rule?"

"I just come here to sell the vegetables I grow myself. What procedures do I need to go through?" Chen Jue was a little puzzled when he saw these administrators surrounding him.

Seeing that he looked like a novice, Wu Laosan, who was standing nearby, came over quickly, stuffed a few cigarettes into the hands of the administrators, and said some nice words.

Then he pretended to help Chen Jue out, "Young man, is this your first time at the vegetable basket? We can't sell individually here, we can only sell wholesale. Next time you use a truck to transport vegetables, remember to bring the health certificate and the certificate of origin. The vegetables must be tested for pesticide residues."

Chen Jue was also a little curious when he heard it: "My uncle used to bring vegetables here to sell, but I never heard of him asking for this license or that license."

Wu Laosan pulled Chen Jue aside and explained in a low voice: "Isn't that one of those tricycles your uncle rides? If a tricycle comes in, you can sell it as much as you want for 5 yuan a day. This is to support vegetable farmers. Your 4-meter truck is different. If you occupy a parking space in the market, you will be charged 2 yuan a day."

"There is such a thing?" Chen Jue looked surprised.

Wu Laosan chuckled and said, "There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world! If anyone could drive in and sell goods, who would rent the shops that cost tens of thousands of yuan a year in the market?"

As he was talking, the administrators wearing red armbands had already issued a fine ticket and stuffed it in his hand: "For Wu Laosan's sake, you will be fined 200 yuan for not having the procedures and documents. You also have to pay the 50 yuan parking fee as well!"

Chen Jue took the low-quality paper ticket and glanced around at the group of drivers and cargo owners who were watching a show. He immediately realized that money might be the key to the problem.

But he didn't admit the penalty. Instead, he tore up the ticket and got into the car, cursing: "I'm not selling anymore! I only sold this truckload of vegetables for a thousand yuan, and after you fined me, I can't even make enough to pay for gas!"

If ordinary young people or drivers and cargo owners who have been beaten by society encountered such a situation, they would definitely turn a blind eye and choose to obey.

But Chen is definitely different!
He has gone bankrupt and has become a deadbeat, and his circle of friends has completely lost touch with society. He was depressed and thought about committing suicide before, but after getting back on his feet, he is no longer afraid to live in this world.

Ambiguous fines like this are actually an opportunity for these administrators to take advantage of Chen Jue, a new face.

However, with the character of "rather die in glory than live in dishonor", Chen Jue would not tolerate these greedy little devils, and started the truck and drove out of the vegetable basket without saying a word.

This left a group of drivers and vegetable vendors who were also selling goods staring at him sideways.

This kind of hero who "goes to Liangshan Mountain in anger" is the most talked about by the grassroots no matter what era it is.

As for the administrators in uniform, they looked somewhat unhappy at the moment.

Want to stop the truck?

Even professional scammers don’t dare to do that!
The manager in charge saw Chen Jue leaving the vegetable basket, so he had to order his colleagues around him: "You're not satisfied? If you're not satisfied, throw the vegetables on the truck! Remember this kid's license plate, and punish him next time you see him!"

Several younger brothers stammered, "Boss, it looks like he's hanging a temporary sign."

Administrator boss: “…”

……

I finally set an alarm to get up early and go out to sell vegetables, but I didn't expect that plans could not keep up with changes and it was ruined.

Looking back at the bustling vegetable basket, Chen Jue leaned against the car window and felt helpless.

A good agricultural support project was turned into such a mess by these so-called administrators, which made him realize that no matter how good the government support is, it will become tainted once it is related to money.

The saying 'It's easier to deal with the King of Hell than with the little devils' probably refers to this situation.

When I was thinking about moving to another place to sell vegetables, a small electric scooter came out of the market.

"Brother! Don't leave in such a hurry!"

"I want more food from your car!"

As soon as the electric scooter stopped, Wu Laosan hurriedly handed over a cigarette.

"Brother, aren't you afraid of revenge from those people if you buy my vegetables?" Chen Jue declined the cigarette and asked curiously. He had quit smoking since his business failed.

Wu Laosan laughed: "Those idiots can't control us middlemen! I'm just a grocer, what can they do to me? They can only bully you newbies."

"Once you're out of the market, they can't do anything to you!"

"But I have to warn you, brother. There are traffic police and urban management officers around here who are not allowed to set up stalls and sell them individually. If you are worried that the vegetables will go bad, it would be best to sell them to me in bulk."

Seeing that Chen Jue was a novice, Wu Laosan kindly gave him a few reminders.

Chen Jue was also moved when he heard this. He didn't expect that the water around the vegetable basket was so deep.

He was not afraid that the vegetables in the car would go bad if left for too long. With the MC system backpack, he could harvest one crop and leave it for eternity. However, when he thought about this old man chasing him to ask for vegetables and giving him a lot of advice, Chen Jue immediately thanked him and promised to sell him all the Shanghai greens he had.

……

"Hey, bro, is this really your first time selling vegetables?"

"You didn't even bring a scale! You're amazing!"

Wu Laosan looked convinced. He rode his electric scooter to lead Chen Jue to a parking lot in the distance. Then he made a phone call and called a transfer truck over.

I asked the driver to bring an electronic scale and a bunch of large transparent plastic bags for vegetables.

Chen Jue felt a little embarrassed and scratched his head. He helped unload the vegetables and weigh them while explaining, "I used to sell iron parts, and I always weighed them on the scale. I really forgot about this."

Seeing that he was indeed a rookie who had just changed his career, Wu Laosan taught him some things to pay attention to when selling vegetables.

Chen Jue was told where to buy plastic bags and foam boxes for wholesale, where to go to handle the approval procedures for certificates, when the vegetables are most popular and when to start selling at the highest price, etc.

A middleman who has been working in the vegetable market for more than ten years knows all this information like the back of his hand.

Seeing that Wu Laosan was a righteous man, Chen Jue was happy to deal with him.

After weighing more than 1600 kilograms of Shanghai green and collecting yuan in cash, Chen Jue asked, "Third brother, I have a lot of Shanghai green sent to me later, and they are all in similar condition. Do you want to take them?"

When Wu Laosan heard that there was still stock, he immediately became excited: "Buy it! Of course I'll buy it! Your vegetables look great, not a single one is infested by insects, and you can tell they were grown with great care. I'll take as many as you want."

Seeing that he had connections, Chen Jue tried to inquire, "Can you consume several hundred tons a day?"

Wu Laosan's eyes widened, and the cigarette in his mouth trembled: "How much...how much? Hundreds of tons? That's hundreds of thousands of kilograms? I say, brother, how much land does your family own?"

Chen Jue showed a mysterious smile: "I don't have any land, but my mother's family is from Wencheng, and there are relatives in several villages who grow vegetables. As long as you can afford the price, I can sell it to you."

Wu Laosan took a deep puff of his cigarette. He knew the vegetable farmers in Wencheng.

Most of the people who contract and farm land from Ouhai District all the way to the suburbs of Rui County are vegetable farmers from this mountainous area.

Combined with the information revealed by Chen Jue, he immediately realized that the young man in front of him who spoke with a local accent was quite powerful.

So, considering the channels and daily consumption of supermarkets and community vegetable markets under his control, Wu Laosan began to calculate: "If all Shanghai greens are sold like this, I can only make 5 kilograms a day at most."

Chen Jue was also quite surprised when he heard the number.

5 kilograms a day, the daily cash flow can reach or , and the annual revenue is tens of millions.

To be able to be a middleman to this extent, this Wu Lao San is definitely a talent!

"No wonder he can afford to hire a driver who waits for him to purchase the goods from the vegetable basket and then transport them." Chen Jue analyzed in his mind and became more certain of the strength of the middle-aged brother in front of him.

Because I have heard from several uncles in the past that the people who sell vegetables at Cailanshi generally have several types of roles.

The lowest level is to contract your own land to grow vegetables, and several family members work together to earn money through hard work. After a year of hard work and relying on luck for food, you can save tens of thousands of yuan.

The other type is vegetable farmers who have some capital on hand and are starting to make a living, abandoning their hard work and going from simply farming and selling vegetables to becoming wholesalers.

These wholesalers either invest their own money to rent land and hire people to grow vegetables, becoming farmers themselves. Or they use their connections to buy the produce of vegetable farmers they know, then add a little to the price and resell it wholesale. Fatty Luo Xian is one of these people.

There are two more special types of middlemen with high mobility.

Vegetable vendors from other places who drive semi-trailers and 9-meter trucks to transport goods, and local buyers like Wu Laosan who have a lot of retail channels.

Although each role has different division of labor, these people are still the best when it comes to making money.

Take the main urban area of ​​Vancouver as an example. With a permanent population of more than three million, the daily consumption of vegetables and fruits is enormous, and all of them cannot avoid the group of people who consume the food.

How terrifying would the economic benefits generated here be?
After thinking this through, Chen Jue and Wu Laosan became brothers, added each other on WeChat, and promised to contact each other as soon as the food was ready.

"No chemical fertilizers or pesticides are used, they are pure green organic vegetables, I don't believe that the quantity can't be increased!" Chen Jue thought secretly in his heart.

Because at this time, he already had a clear preliminary sales plan in his mind.

That is to bypass those little devils in the vegetable basket and use characters like Wu Laosan to let the three million permanent residents of Vancouver's main urban area all eat the MC Shanghai Qing he grows!
Even if each person only eats one a day, it would be enough for him to make a fortune.
