53: Lucky Boulevard
Zhuo Yingjie returned to Longxiang this time to look for new fruit and vegetable suppliers, they have no shortage of plums, and there are still hundreds of tons of contracts in neighboring provinces that have not been delivered, which is enough this year. Green olives are exactly what he is looking for, and the olives made from green olives are indeed high-grade preserved fruits, but they have not been able to find a high-quality and stable supply source, and they can only sigh every year.
In recent years, the market of green olives has become popular, not to mention the wild ones, that is, the artificially grown ones have been fried to sky-high prices. The key is that most of the artificially planted green olives are in eastern Guangdong, and they can't grab the goods even if they have money, so they can only watch others make money.
Zhuo Yingjie knew that there were wild green olives in Longxiang, Qishan City, and Xincheng City, and he came back this time with the mentality of looking for them, but he didn't expect to encounter something good on the first day he came back.
Hearing Fan Sicheng say that there were a lot of olives in Huilong Town, he was excited. However, he is an old man, and although he is very excited, his face is still calm.
"Mr. Fan's suggestion is indeed a good suggestion, but it will take four or five years to grow olives at the earliest, which is a strategic long-term plan. Now what I need to know is how much of your olive production there has in previous years. Zhuo Yingjie said with a smile.
"To be honest, no one knows how much production there is, one is that the size of wild olives is very serious, maybe last year it could hit ten quintals of olives, this year maybe not one. The second is that no one has ever beaten all the olives on the mountain, so the yield can't tell you now. But what I can tell you is that there are many olive trees that can strike more than five quintals per tree, and there are definitely hundreds. Fan Sicheng said with certainty.
There are some olive trees with a canopy of up to 10 meters on Longtou, Longclaw, and Longxu Mountain, and there is a valley on the forest farm that is full of olive trees. He estimated that if it was a bumper year, all of them would be beaten, and there would definitely be hundreds of thousands of catties of olives.
"What you said is true? According to this calculation, there must be more than 100,000 catties a year, which is a lot. Zhuo Yingjie was still excited.
He was indeed excited, it was really surprising that he could find hundreds of thousands of catties of wild green olives in one place.
"Of course it's true, so you should consider my proposal. Let's engage in joint ventures with us, we will cover the seeds, and you will underwrite. Fan Sicheng incited.
"That plan has to be considered in detail, but we can start with a direct purchase point and buy all the olives, hawthorns, and pestles you have there. Zhuo Yingjie said.
"Plum is not a good thing, there are still three months before the plum is on the market, and now you can prepare. Fan Sicheng looked at Zhuo Yingjie expectantly, for him, he could not let go of any opportunity to help the villagers sell things and make money.
"In this case, you can estimate the yield of olives for me as soon as possible, and then we can discuss it in detail, okay?" Zhuo Yingjie didn't want too many plums, the preserved fruits made here belonged to low-grade products, and what he wanted to add now was a high-grade product.
"Okay, give me a week, I'll send someone up the mountain to count and estimate the approximate output. Fan Sicheng was a little disappointed, plums will definitely have a bumper yield this year, if you rely on selling seasonal fresh fruits, I am afraid that it will be another year of bumper yields.
"Hey, what are you two doing, do you want to talk about business, can you make another appointment? Zhuo Feiyan saw that the two of them had been talking about business as if no one else had been talking about it, and couldn't help but protest.
"That's it, when will the olives be beaten, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and now the moon is not over, two. Dai Leting also interjected.
"Although the olives are only harvested after the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is not too early to talk about it, you know, this kind of plan is generally done on New Year's Eve. Shen Lingling said with a smile that her task was the same as Zhuo Yingjie, and the two were boyfriend and girlfriend, of course, they were on Zhuo Yingjie's side.
"Okay, okay, don't make any noise, we're done talking, why don't you change the scene, it's really not hidden to drink such a bitter and smelly game here, let's go to the bar, I'll please." "Fan Sicheng and Li just saw that they were in a bad mood when they ate and didn't eat at all, but now they are in a good mood and hungry, and they want to drink and eat.
"Okay, I support, let's go to the river to drink, I haven't eaten food stalls for a long time, in fact, I don't like this kind of petty bourgeois place, it's just that I don't dare to offend the three ladies, so I can only sacrifice my life to accompany each other, or Sicheng has the guts, haha." "Zhuo Yingjie also wants to drink some wine, he's in a good mood.
So the five people checked out and transferred to the food stalls along the river road to drink, and Fan Sicheng was in a better mood when he came to the Yanjiang Road, he felt that this road was his lucky road, and he had a fight here last time, so he got the rosin processing factory project, will there be a fight this time to cooperate with Zhuo Yingjie's company?
Although the direct purchase of mountain goods and planting joint ventures are not as direct as the rosin factory in Huilong Town, this is something that directly benefits the villagers, and Fan Sicheng is more attentive to it.
If the cooperation is negotiated, and at the end of the year, the villagers will go to the mountains to lay more than 100,000 catties of olives, which will directly increase the income of the villagers by hundreds of thousands of yuan. This kind of income increase that only spends effort and does not cost is the most direct increase in income, and it is real.
In a good mood, Fan Sicheng has no limit to drinking, and directly drank Zhuo Yingjie, and only got him back to the hotel at two o'clock in the morning.
Fan Sicheng's good mood lasted until the next day, and Chen Meiling, who was in a good mood written on her face, also found out.
"Fan Sicheng, I've been smirking today, did I have any sexual encounters last night. Chen Meiling joked.
"Leader, I have always regarded you as a goddess, but I didn't expect you to be a true god, can you also see this?" Fan Sicheng said with a smile.
"Go, what a goddess is really a god, no big or small. Tell me what you're happy about, and let me share a little bit about it. "Usually, when she is not in the office, Chen Meiling will not put her boss's shelf in front of Fan Sicheng.
"Chen Zhen, I think it is really prescient for you to call our group the investment promotion and development team, I developed a merchant last night, maybe there is a small project that can directly benefit some of the townspeople. Fan Sicheng said with a smile.
"Really, you kid is so awesome, you actually have a project in the city for a walk. Quick, tell me what project to talk about. Chen Meiling stretched out her hand and patted Fan Sicheng's shoulder and said.
"Does Chen Zhen know about Shicheng Baiwei Guozhen Company? I had a drink with the director of Baiwei Guozhen last night. Fan Sicheng said proudly.
"Baiwei Guozhen is a very famous Liangguo company in this province, and it is also the only well-known Liangguo company in the western part of the province, how could I not know that? You actually drank with the director of Baiwei Guozhen, it is really amazing, the management of these joint venture companies are all cowhides. Chen Meiling was really surprised.
"Is Baiwei a joint venture? Well, I don't think there's anything different about the factory director, I drank it over, I guess I haven't gotten up yet, haha." Fan Sicheng laughed.
"What project did you talk to him about?" this is what Chen Meiling is most concerned about.
"Mountain fruit joint direct sales, don't you know, those mountains on the north shore are Baoshan, and everything in them can be exchanged for money, and this year, I will realize the olives that no one has ever picked. Fan Sicheng was confident, and he was sure that Zhuo Yingjie would cooperate with him.
