Alpine Orchard - Chapter 279

[Chapter 279]

Everyone sit and rest for a while, eat some watermelon, wait for Lin Xiaomian to bring over the tea, drink some more tea, and continue working.

“The steel frames over there…” Li Xuebin pointed to the cleaned melon fields, and said, “Those steel frames are for building a greenhouse?”

“Yeah.” Ye Mo nodded.

“How many acres are you going to build?”

“One hundred acres.” Ye Mo said.

“The open space here should be two to three hundred mu. Only build a greenhouse of 100 mu?”

“I built a greenhouse with a height of 4.5 meters, and the cost is a bit high.” Ye Mo said.

“You’ve made a lot of money this year. Two or three hundred acres of greenhouses should be enough.”

“The house has been repaired, and the roads in Gaoshanping are hardened… It’s estimated that the 100 acres of greenhouses will cost five million.” Ye Mo said.

“Such a high cost?”

“Wide-bodied greenhouses. There are also concrete roads inside the greenhouses. Afterwards, ventilation and irrigation will be installed…” Ye Mo said, “I’m a little nervous about this one-hundred-acre greenhouse.”

“Since the decision is made I want to make a greenhouse. If you want to do it, you can do it in one step.” Li Xuebin smiled and said: “Tell me how much is short, and treat it as an advance payment for fruits.”

“It’s a bit short.”

“Is five million enough?”

Ye Mo looked at Li Xuebin: “Lend me?”

“Advance payment. It’s too extravagant to talk about borrowing.” Li Xuebin smiled and said: “I believe in your ability, five million… It’s a small thing. You just need to ask, the money… It will be in place the next day.”

Li Xuebin watched Ye Mo’s ability.

Five million is too trivial.

Besides, Ye Mo took the money for production. Presumably, they should also be planting watermelons, cantaloupe and so on. After these melons are ripe, he is not the one who comes to harvest them.

The melons on Ye Mo’s side surprised Li Xuebin, especially the melons.

Because of Ye Mo’s previous cantaloupe, Li Xuebin now also specializes in purchasing high-quality cantaloupe. Just in June, their company sold more than 500 tons of cantaloupe. You must know that before, their company did not sell cantaloupe.

Ye Mo built a greenhouse and definitely planted autumn melons and winter melons. Now that he is giving five million, it is equivalent to an advance payment. Li Xuebin is very assured of the quality of the fruit at Ye Mo’s side…

Ye Mo was a little moved by Li Xuebin’s proposal.

“Let me think about it. I don’t know when the 100-acre greenhouse will be completed…” Ye Mo said.

“If you need money, you can talk to me at any time.” Li Xuebin smiled, took out a cigarette, and handed one to Ye Mo: “Are these greenhouses going to grow watermelons, cantaloupe and netted melons?”

“Yes. Plan to plant more Some melons and netted melons, less watermelons.” Ye Mo said: “It should not be difficult for the watermelons in the greenhouse to reach the gift level. If the first batch of gift-level watermelons is released in November, how much can the price be?”

” My purchase price?” Li Xuebin took out the lighter and helped Ye Mo light the cigarette.

“Yeah.” Ye Mo was a little flattered by Li Xuebin’s act of igniting.

“The purchase price depends on the quantity and variety. It is suggested that these three varieties be specially planted for the golden beauty with red heart, small watermelon with bee, and spring red jade. Although these three varieties are difficult to transport, if they can reach the gift level, If it is shipped in November, it is conservatively estimated that it will be about 6 yuan, and if it is in December, it will be about 7 yuan. If it is in January, February… Conservatively, it will be eight or nine yuan per catty.”

Li Xuebin continued: “I am relatively For a conservative valuation, the premise is that it must reach the gift level, and the quantity should not be large. To be specific, it still depends on the market. In winter, there are still some places that can produce watermelons, such as the dry and hot valleys in Yunnan, Hainan, and Guangzhou.” It is also necessary to build a greenhouse.

Gift-grade watermelons, that is, melons that are nearly perfect in shape. Most of Ye Mo’s melons have reached the gift level. Two crops of melons, some of them have entered the gift-level threshold…

Growing gift-quality watermelons is not easy.

I saw on the Internet that the wholesale price of melon sheds reached eight or nine yuan, ten yuan, and watermelons worth more than ten yuan per catty were all gift-level. One thing about gift-grade watermelons is that the yields are… small.

“After my greenhouse is built, I would like to ask Boss Li to refer to the planting quantities of various fruits.” Ye Mo said.

“Okay.” Li Xuebin nodded with a smile.

Safe.

The yield of greenhouse melons should be higher than that of lying sweet potatoes.

This year, Ye Mo’s crop of melons has made their company several million dollars. This profit is scary…

Usually, they receive tens of thousands of tons of mangoes, and there are losses and profits… Last year, the total profit of the mangoes was 13.88 million yuan. You know, that’s tens of thousands of tons of mangoes… The acquisition cost is close to 300 million. It’s scary.

Ye Mo’s watermelons, cantaloupe, netted melons…the total amount is less than 200 mu, and they have brought seven to eight million yuan in profit to their company.

Li Xuebin has been in the fruit business for more than ten years, and this is the first time he has encountered such a high-profit business.

It is still necessary to go for high-quality products. The price of high-quality fruits is high, and the profit is also high.

This year, Li Xuebin is trying to develop channels for premium fruits. Except for Ye Mo, who is making a lot of money here, other fruits, there are gains and losses. Overall, it’s still money.

“If you don’t have enough money to build a greenhouse, just tell me. When the fruit is produced in the future, just deduct the money from it.” Li Xuebin smiled and said: “Winter fruit planting is risky, in case, I mean in case Ha, if the fruits in winter are not planted well, it will be the same next year.”

“Planting in greenhouses in winter, to be honest, I am also worried about it. The investment in this greenhouse is too high.” Ye Mo said: “And now It should be easy to manage a 100-acre greenhouse, but if there are more 100-acre greenhouses, it is estimated that there will not be enough manpower.”

“If there is not enough manpower, then recruit people. Do you want someone? Let me introduce you.”

“I don’t need it for now…I’ll talk to you when I need it.”

“Okay.” Li Xuebin touched the fan hanging around his neck and said, “This thing is really good. It feels much cooler when I wear it. How much?” One for one, and I will buy some to distribute to my workers some other day.”

“More than two hundred yuan each.” Ye Mo said, a trailer drove in backwards.

Only loaded one carload of watermelons tonight.

The remaining watermelon, come tomorrow morning to pack… it’s

too hot in the afternoon. These big watermelons also have a lot of internal pressure. It is the best choice to cool it overnight before loading it into the car.

It’s still early.

Ye Mo also went over to help carry the watermelon.

Li Xuebin played with the hanging neck fan for a while, and went for a walk to the melon field. Look at the cantaloupe…

the cantaloupe vines are very dense, the vines are still healthy, and the leaves are green and lush. The melon is hidden under the lush leaves…

Li Xuebin took a video and took many photos.

Watermelons, cantaloupe, etc. When the melons are about to mature, the leaves of the melon vines are most likely to turn yellow and age. But the melon and vine leaves here are still very fresh.

I heard Ye Mo’s theory of managing these watermelons and cantaloupe before. If you want to produce good watermelon and cantaloupe, you must first manage the melons and vines well. If the melons and vines are well managed, good melons will naturally come out. Now it seems that this theory is very good.

The melon vines are growing very well, and the netted melons, vines and leaves are also very fresh. I really don’t know how to manage these melons…it’s so good.
