I am farming in the real world.

Chapter 31: You are so cruel, you are so playful, you are so brave, you are so brave

"What? Can you encounter such a market when growing bok choy?"

When Chen Jue heard the news, he was a little surprised.

He often reads the news, and recently his screen has been flooded with news about waterlogging caused by heavy rains in various places.

I never thought that flooding in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River caused by heavy rainfall would cause such a chain reaction!

After all, he stayed out of the matter and stayed in the valley of Chen Village all year round. Except for the typhoons in Vancouver in summer, Chen Jue had no big feeling about the weather changes in the outside world.

In the eyes of most people who have not encountered flooding, these current news events are just like a string of fragmented information and text. They take a look at them and ignore them if they find them uninteresting.

As for the news of rising vegetable prices, Chen Jue had heard about it from several of his uncles.

When visiting relatives during the holidays, as soon as we sit down at the dinner table, the elders will talk about how vegetable prices tend to go up around the Spring Festival.

Because the weather was cold and the land was difficult to grow, many vegetable farmers took holidays, which resulted in the vegetable production not keeping up and only a small increase.

This is the same as "the bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish."

"Brother Chen, you are still young. You need to learn more and see more."

"Shanghai Qing can only be considered a small market this time. It is not certain how much it will rise, but I don't think it will rise too high. When 'Suan Ni Hen', 'Dou Ni Wan', 'Jiang Ni Jun' and 'Xiang Qian Cong' came out, the market was really exaggerated."

"The price of garlic alone has increased 100 times! More than a decade has passed, and the price of garlic has not dropped much." Wu Laosan, speaking with the tone of an experienced person, used the example of garlic to educate Chen Jue.

Before 2009, the wholesale price of garlic was only a few cents per pound.

Later, when the market fluctuated, the price soared from a few cents to more than ten yuan per pound, an increase of more than a hundred times.

Even the stock investors who had been repeatedly fleeced by the main players in the A-share market for many years had never seen such a big scene, and began to enter the market for speculation, thus giving rise to speculative professions such as the "garlic speculation group".

You should know that garlic is not a green leafy vegetable like Shanghai greens. There are almost no substitutes for it in any agricultural product and it is indispensable for cooking in every household.

So during the period when garlic prices soared, netizens across the country could not stand the high garlic prices and began to complain on the Internet, making up satirical rhymes such as "Suan Ni Hen" for the postgraduate entrance examination while making complaints.

Of course, the reason why Wu Laosan has a keen sense of the news about the increase in vegetable prices is because he has been working in the vegetable market for many years and has figured it out through decades of experience and accumulated personal connections.

If there is any slight disturbance in the vegetable market, these buyers and middlemen will know about it faster than anyone else. They are doing business based on first-hand intelligence.

This is mostly the case in the business world. You make money either by relying on core technology or information asymmetry. Otherwise, if you are not careful, you will fall flat on your face and go bankrupt like Chen Jue did before.

After listening to Wu Laosan's long speech, Chen Jue was also greatly enlightened. He nodded gratefully and said, "Thank you, Third Brother. I will contact someone to pick the vegetables as soon as I get back!"

……

A truckload of more than 1 kilograms of Shanghai green was unexpectedly sold for more than 2 yuan, which made Chen Jue somewhat glad that he had chosen the path of farming.

This seemingly insignificant vegetable-growing business actually contains countless knowledge and opportunities.

So after delivering the batch of vegetables on hand, Chen Jue went around to several seed wholesale stores near the vegetable basket that opened in the early morning and bought another batch of Shanghai green seeds.

By the way, he used Tieyi's online account to place an order on Alibaba for 800 bags of high-quality Shanghai green, each bag containing 1000 to seeds.

This purchase quantity can be purchased at wholesale price in the online shopping market, from the original 6 cents to only 1 cents per bag.

As a large vegetable grower, if I follow the example of a novice enthusiast and buy seeds on Taobao that only cost a few dollars a bag, I would be being taken advantage of.

Of course, the reason why Chen Jue bought so many seeds was that he planned to take advantage of the upcoming Shanghai Qing market to make a fortune.

Because 100 new slots had just been opened, the demand for seeds had increased significantly, and he felt that no matter how many seeds came, they would not be enough for consumption.

If Tieyi’s electronic account didn’t have only 4000 yuan from selling MC roast chicken yesterday, Chen Jue would even want to buy more.

……

I left a message to the seller on Alibaba, urging them to ship the goods quickly.

After that, Chen Jue took a truck and took a one-hour detour to the agricultural product wholesale market in Rui County. With the warm welcome of the fat man Luo Xian, he unloaded the 1 boxes of '500A Dongkui Bayberry' that he had been promised.

This trip brought in more than 4 yuan in cash, which filled up the backpack that had shrunk after spending 8 yuan to buy an iron golem skin.

With money in hand, there is no need to panic. Chen Jue accepted the bundles of red notes with satisfaction, and changed the subject to remind him: "Brother Luo, the bayberry season is almost over. I think the king of fruits in the garden will be out of the market in two or three days. Do you think how much more will be needed next time?"

"I'll go back and do some statistics and see if I can get you more goods in the next few days."

Because just as he was unloading the goods, he had noticed that the number of bayberries on each stall was decreasing sharply, while the number of watermelons began to increase.

This is because the bayberry season is almost over, so the output naturally decreases, and the only supplies available to the market are some of the poorer quality goods at the end of the season.

Upon hearing this bad news, Luo Xian slapped his thigh with some regret and said, "Brother, why didn't you come earlier? If we had started the cooperation last month, we would have made a lot of money during this period!"

Chen Jue smiled slightly when he heard it, thinking: "Last month? Last month I was still lying dead in the village! Where can I get these MC bayberries for you?"

As the saying goes: Greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant.

Seeing that this quick money business would not last for a few days, Luo Xian became as anxious as an ant on hot pan.

He opened his WeChat with a sigh on his face, checked several channels under his control one by one, pressed the old-fashioned computer and finally reported a quantity of 3,000 boxes.

"Three thousand boxes?"

"It's a bit too much, Brother Luo! I have to go back and try my best to match it for you. Don't blame me if I can't." Chen Jue deliberately acted in a difficult manner and gave the other party a shot of prevention first.

Luo Xian hesitated for a moment and finally shook his head and sighed. Now he began to act as if he didn't care. He grinned and said, "It's okay, brother Chen. Just send it over. I want as many as you want. If it doesn't work out, we can wait until next summer to cooperate again!"

"Your brother, my Sweetheart Fruit has been in the market for more than ten years. Our reputation and credibility are as strong as the Taishan stone guard standing at the door. We never owe anyone a penny of payment, so you don't have to worry about sales."

Hearing the other party say this, Chen Jue also agreed.

If it weren't for the Sweetheart Fruit Wholesale Company, he wouldn't have a good way to sell those MC bayberries.

What's more, he has already earned nearly 20 yuan from Luo Xian, so Chen Jue is willing to stand with him and brag.

……

After delivering the 500 boxes of MC bayberries this morning, Chen Jue left the wholesale market on a truck.

I first sent a message to Zhang Fan of Caidie Advertising Store, asking them to place an additional order for the last 2,800 bayberry gift boxes.

Anyway, the design templates are all there in advance, so the diligent Zhang Fan couple can finish the work in less than a day.

Of course, the reason why Chen Jue didn't order too many gift boxes was because he had his own considerations about the high-quality fruit business that made money too quickly.

In the absence of a certificate of origin and as the fruit season is almost over, he plans to sell out the last batch and no longer sell MC bayberries.

Because this thing really makes money quickly, and in just a few days it can earn him hundreds of thousands in net profit, so fast that even Chen Jue himself feels that the money is hot.

Just now when he entered the market to unload goods, the owners of several wholesale stores next to Sweetheart Fruit stared at him as if he were a piece of Tang Monk's meat. They wanted to come up and talk to him several times, but Luo Xian took the opportunity to block them off.

This subtle scene also made Chen Jue realize that if he wanted to continue to delve into the quick money route of making high-quality fruits, he had to go to Xianju and rent a bayberry field as a cover.

"I'll stop after these few days."

"Next, I will focus on growing vegetables and selling roasted chicken." Chen Jue planned in his mind.

At this time, Tie Yi, who had not received any instructions, took the steering wheel and asked, "Boss, where are we going next?"

It was almost 6 o'clock in the morning, and the sun in the east had already emerged halfway from the city skyline.

The heat wave began to come, sweeping away the breeze and coolness of the early morning. The sunlight shone into the carriage, and Chen Jue's face was flushed as he basked in the sun.

As the saying goes, when good things happen, one feels refreshed!

Seeing Tie Hanhan beside him asking, Chen Jue touched the bulging cash in his backpack in front of him, pointed to the south and said, "Let's go! Let's rent some land in Wencheng!"
