1994: Vegetable farmers strike back

Chapter 220 The End
Upon hearing that the 25% profit share was agreed upon, Chen Jiazhi was overjoyed and smiled.

"Don't worry, I have a good idea of ​​what the next batch of vegetables will be like, but we'll have to wait a few more days."

"Waiting for the money to arrive, right?"

Xu Wenxiang left a resentful remark without giving Chen Jiazhi a chance to explain, and then got up and went downstairs.

She was really angry. For the sake of this 25% dividend, she had been arguing non-stop with Huang Jianyuan, Zhang Lerong, Li Zaixing and others these days.

As a result, after finally securing the deal, she greeted him with a 'transactional' attitude.

Too arrogant and conceited!

The sound of high heels clattering on the floor echoed.

After Chen Jiazhi finished his tea in one gulp, he also went out and caught up with Xu Wenxiang on the stairs.

“I don’t want to wait for the money to arrive. Your promise is enough. You are quite trustworthy.”

Xu Wenxiang stopped at the entrance of the stairwell, turned around and asked, "Why is that?"

Chen Jiazhi said, "You don't think you can just stumble upon a good market opportunity, do you? A good market opportunity requires the right timing, location, and people—all three are indispensable."

"Wasn't this just good luck?"

"You're willing to give me 25% of the profits just because I'm lucky. You're really generous, Sister Xu."

"Don't call me Sister Xu!"

Chen Jiazhi was still standing on the steps, looking down at Xu Wenxiang, who was looking very serious. He realized that he had not only been a little ruthless, but also seemed to have been a bit too manly.
"Good~"

Xu Wenxiang turned back and walked forward with long strides. Chen Jiazhi jogged a few steps to catch up. He still cared a lot about the Jiangxin Vegetable Market platform.

If he can really get 25% of the dividends, plus 5% of the shares, wouldn't he be able to get nearly 60 yuan if all of it is distributed this time?

Of course, if we want to continue doing this, the investment will be substantial.

But the speed at which they make money is still skyrocketing!
Thinking about this, he realized that he could consider personal relationships.

Moreover, Sister Xu is indeed quite capable.

After walking a few steps side by side, Chen Jiazhi said, "President Xu, I'm planning to set up a canteen at the market."

"It's up to you."

"I plan to expand the canteen to solve the problem of meals for all the food workers."

Xu Wenxiang finally stopped. "Have you thought about this? The cooks come from all over the country, and their tastes are different. Setting up a canteen might not necessarily be a good thing!"

"Mr. Xu is right. Look at me, I'm not as thoughtful as you. It's better to run a small canteen."

Xu Wenxiang rolled her eyes at him, but after this incident, she felt inexplicably better, and her pace slowed down as she walked forward.

Have you decided what to plant for the next batch of vegetables?

“I have some ideas,” Chen Jiazhi said thoughtfully. “However, we need a lot of resources and a large investment, so we need to consider the specific amount of profit sharing. I will give you a funding plan in a couple of days.”

Xu Wenxiang was suddenly taken aback, her expression uncertain and puzzled, unable to understand his thoughts.

If you want to get more money, you should distribute most of the profits first, right?
Or was he simply trying to test my attitude?

He couldn't understand it, but he was happy to see Chen Jiazhi focusing his attention on running the market.

"Okay, I'll wait for your funding plan."

The two arrived at the highway and walked along it. It was already sunset, and the vegetable fields were empty except for a few dozen acres of vegetable fields in the corner of the northern part near the river.

After walking for a while, we ran into Huang Jianyuan and Huang Chuan, who were pointing at the vegetable field.

Chen Jiazhi asked Xu Wenxiang, "Is General Manager Huang here too?"

"They arrived with me."

"Why doesn't he ever come to the office for a cup of tea? He even bought the coffee table."

"What do you say?"

It's probably because of that 25% dividend.

Knowing that Huang Jianyuan smoked, he took out a cigarette and offered it to him, but Huang Jianyuan made an excuse that he had just thrown it away and did not take it.

Chen Jiazhi had a good idea of ​​what was going on.

Xu Wenxiang and Huang Jianyuan didn't stay long. They watched the harvest for a while longer before leaving, probably to take one last look at the last batch of vegetables.

Chen Jiazhi also took Huang Chuan for a stroll in the vegetable field, chatted with Yi Dinggan, Guo Mancang and others for a while, and told Huang Chuan about the supplies that needed to be inquired about and compared prices in advance.

It wasn't until Ao Deliang arrived from the Dongxiang vegetable market with another truckload of kale that they returned to the courtyard.

The night is dark.

When he got closer, Ao Deliang could see clearly and shouted, "Boss, today is the same as yesterday, rounding it up to 7 tons!"

Another 5.6 yuan!

The price of Chinese kale supplied to Hong Kong has remained stable at 4 yuan per kilogram for four consecutive days, which is simply outrageous.

Meanwhile, the prices of bok choy, Chinese cabbage, and water spinach have all started to fluctuate.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work!"

After saying that, Chen Jiazhi rolled up his sleeves and went forward to unload the goods. Once he got on the truck, the other vegetable workers who were loading their trucks at the market couldn't just stand by and watch, and they all started helping the market manager with their own work.

There were fewer vendors at Jiangxin Market today than in the past few days, and as a result, all the refrigerated trucks left before 11:30 a.m.

However, by the end, Chen Jiazhi had not been able to obtain much information from various channels.

Aside from the initial arrival of Hong Kong drivers, the rest of the drivers were mainland Chinese who were working for the mainland.

He was at a loss as to how to understand the situation of the Xiangjiang vegetable market.

It may also be related to Xu Wenxiang and Huang Jianyuan being wary of him, as sales channels are the most important means for shareholders to control the vegetable market.

Chen Jiazhi also knows that he is being a bit arrogant now.

But if you're not a little arrogant, you're likely to be exploited and unable to protect the rights of those below you.

"Director Chen, the total statistics are in."

After the delivery was completed, the six team leaders, Yi Dinggan, Tong Gang, and Huang Chuan stayed behind, waiting for Xu Yao to calculate the final number using a calculator.

Chen Jiazhi took the notes from Xu Yao and read them aloud.

"In 14 days, a total of 94.79 jin of vegetables were produced, and the total sales amounted to 265.72 million yuan!" After a pause, Chen Jiazhi couldn't help but swear: "You guys are fucking awesome!"

Instantly, bursts of laughter erupted in the quiet night; they already knew what the word "awesome" meant.

"Hahaha, that's brutal!"

"So fierce!"

"Growing these vegetables is fucking awesome!"

The team leaders swore and vented their emotions, their workload over the past month and a half was at its peak.

Especially during the sowing period, every step was crucial, which was not only tiring but also very stressful.

But when the time came to an end, in addition to the commission I received, I also felt a sense of pride.

These are what they grew.

Xu Yao and Tong Gang, two long-time employees, also had mixed feelings.

If someone had told them two months ago that Jiangxin Market could sell more than two million yuan a month, they would have thought that person had lost their mind.

But now it has come true, it feels like a dream, it's unreal.

The newcomer Huang Chuan was dumbfounded. In just 14 days, he sold 265 million yuan worth of vegetables. Was he growing vegetables?
Feeling the joy of everyone, Chen Jiazhi smiled and said:
"Thank you all for your hard work these past few days. I was going to treat you all to drinks, but I still have some food to prepare, so let's have a meal together in a couple of days."

A chorus of boos erupted.

"Shh~"

"Well, there's nothing I can do. I'll just have to spoil everyone's fun today."

Qi Yongfeng raised his voice and said, "It's not impossible, but next time we can't raise fish while drinking~"

"Hahaha~"

"When did I start drinking alcohol and raising fish?"

"Not yet. Does it have to be a whale in a wine glass to count as raising fish?!"

"Hahaha……"

"Damn it, I'm not going to argue with you guys anymore, we're running out of time."

"Shh~"

Chen Jiazhi chose to flee immediately.

Jiangxin Market has closed, so Dongxiang Market should have finished its final harvest long ago.

Without a doubt, this was a great success, and he led his team to another victory, taking another step forward.

In the early morning of October 20th,
Chen Jiazhi sold the last 45 pieces of small Chinese kale at 90 yuan per piece, bringing the market down with an income of 4275 yuan.

There might be further developments later, but that won't concern him much anymore.

He has earned the maximum profit he could!
"Let's go, Xiaolong, let's go eat some rice noodles!"

"Okay, I want eggs and meat!"

"Enough!"

There were few vegetables available today, and kale was in high demand. We sold out of vegetables at just past 3 p.m., but the noodle stall also caters to the wholesale market.

The bowl of noodles made the two of them very satisfied.

He came to the market to sell vegetables for 15 consecutive days, but he always carried a lot of cash with him.

For safety reasons, the two of them usually don't linger in the market, rarely buy breakfast, let alone eat noodles on the roadside.

After finishing his noodles, suppressing his longing for home, Chen Jiazhi still chose to return to Jiangxin Market.

There are still many unresolved issues at Jiangxin Market.

The payments for the two batches of kale haven't been settled yet, and there are still funding plans and material needs for the next crop...

When we arrived at the market, the night was still deep, but the sounds of roosters crowing could be heard from the village.

"Uncle, aren't you going to sleep?"

"You go to sleep, I'm going to sit in the office for a while."

"Then I'll go read a book for a while too."

"alright."

In the quiet of the early morning, there wasn't even a dog in the market. But in the Dongxiang market, there were not only two dogs, but after her mother arrived, Li Xiu also bought a flock of chickens and ducks for her to raise.

To be honest, I haven't spent much time with my family in the past two weeks, and my impression of my son is completely stuck in the last two weeks.

I felt a pang of guilt.

But he quickly became engrossed in his work again.

Jiangxin Vegetable Market sold a total of 94.79 jin of vegetables this time, but there were significant differences between the various categories.

其中菜心43.09万斤，平均亩产约1539斤；小白菜19.3万斤，平均亩产约1608斤；空心菜17.6万斤，平均亩产约1467斤；芥兰14.8万斤，平均亩产1850斤。

The total yield seems large, but the average yield per acre is actually not very good, and there are also differences between the group leaders.

For example, Guo Mancang's bok choy yield reached 2000 jin per mu, while others were clearly lagging behind.

For example, the bok choy managed by Zheng Zhong and Huang Rixin barely yielded 1400 jin per mu, yet these two were still complacent.
Compared to the Dongxiang vegetable market, it's worlds apart.

Take Chinese cabbage and Chinese kale as examples: one yields nearly 600 jin more per mu on average, and the other yields nearly 1,000 jin more per mu on average.

It feels a bit awkward to compare Jiangxin Vegetable Market side by side.

From soil and planting management to harvesting, a comprehensive gap has emerged.

Human resources have a huge impact; it's really not easy for a vegetable market to grow big and strong.

Jiangxin Vegetable Market's ability to sell 265 million yuan this time can be attributed to two factors: half is production management, and the other half is hitting the market right.

Both of them are inextricably linked to him.

Looking back, Chen Jiazhi couldn't help but mutter to himself, "It's not that I don't understand human relationships, but this 25% is what I deserve."
