I am farming in the real world.

Chapter 40 Going ashore!

Chen Jue was completely shocked by the wholesale price of Shanghai Qing at 7 yuan.

Although we know that the origin price and wholesale price follow a dual-track system, the former operates smoothly to ensure the income of vegetable farmers, while the latter fluctuates within a small range based on the supply and demand situation in the market.

But no one expected that the increase would reach such an incredible level!
In just a few days, it rose by 1% from the original price of around 5 yuan.

If people who like to invest in finance knew this, they would probably dig out their eyeballs and use them as light bulbs to step on.

"Third brother, why did the price increase so high this time?" Chen Jue asked in disbelief.

Wu Laosan explained and urged on the other end of the phone: "The flooding is too severe. The supply of Shanghai Qing in Hangzhou and Shanghai has been cut off. Trucks from other places are rushing to our place to grab the goods. This kind of market situation has not been seen for more than ten years! Hurry up and call people to pick them. Send as many as you can!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jue immediately realized that this skyrocketing price situation should mean that the supply and demand balance of Shanghai Qing has been disrupted in the short term.

You have to know that economically developed cities like Hangzhou and Shanghai are not like Vancouver, which has few people and many mountains. The closer the city is to the first-tier cities, the less arable land there is, because all the land is used to build houses and start businesses.

For first-tier cities like these, where hot money gathers, their daily agricultural product consumption basically relies on supplies from surrounding provinces and cities.

Here's an easy-to-understand joke: Shanghai, the city where the variety was named, is where all the Shanghai greens eaten are grown in other places!
Once a supply link is broken, it will create a chain reaction like a domino falling.

“Even the wholesale price has increased to this level, so won’t the retail price in supermarkets and vegetable markets be more than 10 yuan per catty?” Chen Jue took a deep breath.

I checked the retail prices online. Since it was night time and the retail markets were not open yet, the average retail price was still at yesterday's 4.99 yuan per catty.

The information provided by Wu Laosan and his colleagues is much more up-to-date and advanced than the statistics on the Internet.

However, Chen Jue knew that such short-term fluctuations would not last long.

Because once the price of a single vegetable in a certain place experiences such a sharp rise, the large provinces in the north and central plains with larger planting areas will take action, and vegetable vendors who carry large quantities of goods will continuously deliver vegetables to Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai before the price falls.

If you want to take advantage of this market trend, you can only do as Wu Laosan said, relying on the advantages of short-distance transportation within the province and quickly deliver the Shanghai Qing to the market for sale.

After realizing this, Chen Jue could no longer sit still. He changed his clothes, put on his backpack, and ran out of the house.

I first called Wencheng's uncle and urged them to work overtime overnight to catch up with the market and make some quick money together with the vegetable farmers in several nearby villages.

因为这会儿的产地价也已经跟着飙到了2块2，算是陈绝给的1毛钱加价，摘一斤上海青能抵得上平时摘4、5斤的收益。。

Stimulated by the money, the villagers were enthusiastic and got up early in the night to call their friends to rush to harvest vegetables.

Judging from the trend, students are more active than in the past when they would stay up late and get up to play Happy Farm and QQ Farm harvesting games.

As for Chen Jue, he took the five iron golems, for which he had bought human skins with in-game currency, and got into a white truck and headed straight for Wanqiang Logistics Park.

He first unloaded the 9 kilograms of Shanghai greens from the truck, and then ordered Tieyi and Tie Laoliu to change to a larger 8-meter van to rush to Wencheng to pick up the goods from the vegetable farmers.

Afterwards, Chen Jue took Tie Erleng and used a 4-meter small truck to move around, and they worked from around 2 o'clock at night to 11 o'clock in the morning.

In addition to the more than 20 catties of Shanghai green produced by the underground base, Wencheng also rushed to harvest and sent more than 5 catties, and a total of 25 catties of packaged Shanghai green filled the warehouse of the new project like a small mountain. A phone call was made to Wu Laosan, and soon an empty semi-trailer with a fence rumbled in from the ground outside the park.

"Brother Chen, you are amazing!"

"With so many Shanghai greens, you're bound to get rich!" Wu Laosan stared at the two warehouses full of vegetables with red eyes. It is very harmful to his health to stay up all night when he is old.

But in the face of such a huge market situation, we have to hold on even if we have to be sent to the ICU immediately.

"In terms of getting rich, you guys are the ones, Third Brother. My little tricks are nothing."

"How much goods have you received tonight?" Chen Jue said modestly and took out a bag of Huazi and distributed them to several out-of-town buyers who had arrived at the scene.

"Not much, not much. In total we took more than one million kilograms." Wu Laosan took the cigarette and took a greedy sip.

As the price of Shanghai green rose too high, it was difficult for Wu Laosan to consume it all by himself, so he contacted several acquaintances to inventory the goods together and share the risk.

Everyone was smoking while calculating the shareholding ratio. Finally, Wu Laosan came out to bargain with Chen Jue and bought the 7 kilograms of Shanghai green for 4 yuan.

After signing a simple contract and making on-site payments, several large cash transfers were made to Tieyi's account. A forklift that was temporarily dispatched entered the site and began to load the goods together with Chen Jue and several other buyers.

Everyone went up to lend a hand, including Chen Jue himself, who also went up to help load the goods.

In such a race against time, in less than half an hour, the two fences at the back of the semi-trailer were filled to the brim with bales of Shanghai green.

Finally, they covered the car with a dark green rainproof cloth, took a photo of the certificate of origin given by Chen Jue, and the red semi-trailer roared out of the logistics park and headed towards the highway.

According to Wu Laosan, this semi-trailer was heading to Hangzhou for delivery.

The wholesale price has risen to this level. By dawn, the price of Shanghai green in supermarkets in Hangzhou and Shanghai will have to be at least 9 yuan per pound. Otherwise, these middlemen will have no profit to make.

But this has nothing to do with Chen Jue, the primary supplier.

After distributing two packets of Huazi and watching Wu Laosan and the group of out-of-town buyers who were as excited as chicken blood leave, Chen Jue slumped down on the passenger seat of the white truck with his back wet.

"Boss, the money is all here!"

Staring at the balance of more than 186 million shown on the mobile phone account handed to him by Tieyi, Chen Jue leaned back on the fabric seat as if all his energy had been drained.

After going bankrupt, he was weighed down by the debt of more than one million for almost two years. He felt that the burden on his shoulders was lifted at this moment, and his throat, which was invisibly choked by the debt of money, finally got a breath of relief at this moment.

Chen Jue's eyes were filled with a gleam of life, and he stared at the city skyline in the east that was about to turn white with a tired face and grinned: "Finally on shore!"
