Alpine Orchard - Chapter 223

[Chapter 223 The Big Watermelon Has a Market]

at the Guangzhou Fruit Wholesale Market.

Gaoshanping melons were distributed at a price of 30 yuan per catty.

This batch of melons is only 4.5 tons, and more than a dozen distributors have received different quotas.

Some distributors have signed long-term purchase contracts with their companies, and they get more quotas. As for distributors who do not cooperate frequently, they will get less quota. These good things must take care of their own people first.

Distributors who can purchase high-priced melons naturally have channels to sell them.

Of these distributors, the one with the most will get a quota of 1,000 catties.

After confirming the quota, Zhou Kang took them to look at the loquats purchased from Micheng.

The early-maturing loquats in Micheng are very famous in Sichuan and are a national geographical indication product.

The loquat fruit here is large and thick, with neat and uniform fruit shape, golden yellow or orange red fruit surface, bright color, thin peel, many hairs, less rust spots, delicate flesh, soft smooth and refreshing taste, strong sweetness, juicy and delicious. Pulp and fruit juice are also rich in nutrients such as vitamins, protein, cellulose, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, and iron.

Local grading of loquats: Level 1: single fruit weighs more than 40 grams, the fruit shape is correct and plump, the size is uniform, the coloring is good, bright, no rust, no pests, no damage, and it has the best flesh color of this variety.

Grade 2: The weight of a single fruit is 30-40 grams, the fruit shape is well colored, the area of rust spots does not exceed 10%, no deformed fruit, no damage, and basically has the flesh color of this variety.

Micheng also belongs to the three-dimensional climate of the South Subtropical Dry Hot Valley. There are many mountains and hills in the local area, and there are sayings that “a mountain is one foot tall, but it is very different” and “a mountain is divided into four seasons, and the sky is different for ten miles”.

Li Xuebin knew that his opportunity had come when he purchased cantaloupe from Gaoshanping. Gaoshanping cantaloupe can be used as a stepping stone to build a high-end sales channel…

Therefore, in addition to being busy with Gaoshanping cantaloupe, Li Xuebin often travels to Micheng, spending a lot of money to select a batch of super-large loquats. The grades of these loquats are all higher than the first-grade standard…the

weight of each fruit is about 55 grams, which is the largest loquat in this production area, and has reached a certain maturity. The flesh is thick and has no sour taste.

This batch is regarded as super-grade loquat, only 3 tons, but the purchase unit price has reached 55 yuan per catty.

The loquats in Micheng are very good, but there are very few loquats with a weight of about 55 grams. The production area is mainly early-maturing loquats. Loquats mature early, and the price is inherently expensive. It is even more important to select the super large fruit among the many loquats…the average weight is about 55 grams, and the requirement is that a single fruit should be more than 50 grams.

There are not many such loquats, and it is not easy to take out 3 tons at a time.

In addition to super super large fruits, there are also a batch of high-quality first-class fruits, with dozens of tons.

The purchase price of super super large loquat is 55 yuan, and the distribution price is only 60 yuan per catty. Now it’s time to build high-end sales channels, as long as you don’t lose money, you’re making money.

These loquats are not only big, but also taste good.

In fact, as far as the size of loquat is concerned, there is another variety that is super big, that is, the big five-star loquat. It is not difficult to see a single fruit of more than 80 grams.

However, early-maturing loquats can have about 55 grams, which is rare, and the more important thing is the taste.

3 tons of extra large loquats, easily bought out.

There are also 19 tons of first-grade loquats in the store, and dozens of tons of first-grade loquats that are still on the road have also been distributed.

After sending the distributor away, Zhou Kang heaved a long sigh of relief.

High-priced fruits are not easy to sell. Zhou Kang is very happy to be able to sell these fruits that are sky-high prices for most ordinary people so quickly.

“Manager Zhou.”

Zhou Kang was about to leave, and several distributors who had left turned back.

“Hey. Mr. Wei, Mr. Luo, Mr. Wang, Mr. Nie…”

“Well, we want to buy some extra-large watermelons, not too big, about two hundred catties is enough. Please ask us the price.” Boss Wei said.

Zhou Kang was a little embarrassed, and said: “The watermelons I saw in the video just now have been specially cultivated after negotiating the price. The price is very high…”

“The price is not a problem. Please help us ask… Besides, ask Let me ask Boss Ye from Gaoshanping, can you also grow some big watermelons for us. The price can be negotiated, we need 400 in total.”

“Let me ask.”

…

Gaoshanping.

Busy.

It’s almost noon.

Li Xuebin received a call saying that his client wanted to order a big watermelon. And I need a few ready-made ones…

Now is the right time to grow super big watermelons.

But the ready-made big watermelon…

Ye Mo was in a dilemma, and saw a car approaching: “The owner of the watermelon is here, you and him. These watermelons were ordered by Boss Zhang, and it is because of him that he specially cultivates these watermelons.” There are 78 large watermelons in the

field, and when the watermelons were not yet ripe, Zhang Yuanqiao picked two back and put them on display.

“Boss Ye, Boss Li.” Zhang Yuanqiao walked over with a smile.

“Boss Zhang.” Ye Mo smiled and said, “We were talking about you just now.”

“What are you talking about?”

Li Xuebin took out a cigarette, lit one for Zhang Yuanqiao, and said, “Well, I have a few clients I want a super big watermelon. Can I have some of these watermelons?”

Zhang Yuanqiao rubbed his chin and stubble: “Okay. But the price, I agreed with Boss Ye before, 150-230 catties, 20,000 yuan each 230-260 catties, each is 30,000 yuan. More than 260-300 catties, 50,000 yuan per piece. More than 300 catties, 100,000 yuan per piece. This price cannot be changed…”

78 large watermelons, it was difficult for Zhang Yuanqiao to digest. It’s not a problem to let some out.

“These watermelons are cultivated in winter. It is not easy to grow large watermelons in winter. My resort has hired special people to cultivate large watermelons, and several large watermelons weighing more than 100 catties have been produced, but they are all hollow.” Zhang Yuanqiao said.

“This is the price. I’ll call and ask…” Li Xuebin said.

This price is too expensive.

Large watermelons weighing more than 100 catties are rare, but not uncommon. Watermelons under 150 catties are usually… that is, 10 yuan per catty. As for more than 150 catties, it is rare. It’s something rich and hard to buy.

Li Xuebin called and explained the situation to the other party in the video.

“Are there any over 300 catties?” Boss Nie asked in the video.

A 300-jin watermelon is a rarity, not far from the Guinness World Record.

“There are two, maybe more than 300 catties.” Ye Mo said: “But these watermelons belong to this boss Zhang.”

“If they are more than 300 catties, I have to keep such watermelons, and I won’t sell them.” Zhang Yuanqiao said with a smile.

Boss Nie smiled: “How much is Boss Zhang willing to give up?”

“The original price, I don’t take your money, 20. But the size of the watermelon is up to me.” Zhang Yuanqiao said. He has ordered 21 of these big watermelons.

“Sweet, cooked, and not hollow…is there three packs?”

“Yes. If it is not sweet, not cooked, or hollow, you can get your money back.”

“Ok, we want 21 pieces.”
