Chapter 290: Contracting

Lao Wu learned that the live broadcast of Populus euphratica was just to spread traditional culture, and to buy so many works with him, also to support traditional handicrafts, and he still admired it a little.

Only those who insist on doing traditional crafts know how difficult it is for a craft to be passed on.

He's better, at least the craft can make some money. He was very sad to hear that some other crafts were not popular because they did not cater to the current trend, and if it weren't for some government subsidies, they would definitely not be able to do it.

Originally, he also wanted to keep Hu Yang and Andy for dinner and sleepover, but the two young people insisted on leaving, so they had to send them out.

Populus euphratica and Andy returned with a batch of bamboo shoot shell carvings, and on the way, they could see local citrus, planted a lot, and as far as the eye could see, all of them. At this time, it is the harvest season, and some fruit farmers are picking.

Ou mandarin is a traditional citrus variety, an important specialty of Wenzhou, the folk known as "Dragon Boat Festival Ou orange like an antelope" beautiful talk, for the imperial court tribute of the past dynasties.

There is an orchard with a slogan: 20 yuan is all-you-can-eat!

This situation is very popular in various places, in order to attract some young people to experience the fun of picking fruits with their own hands. Twenty yuan, for them, is not much, it is the price of a meal, but they can eat as much as they want in the orchard.

If you just take it away, it's another money.

In fact, no matter what, the freshness of the fruit picked in the orchard is one thing, and it is indeed much cheaper. For example, these citrus are only a pound of money, and if you buy more, you will be able to pack them in cartons, and the service is very good.

You know, in the outside city, how can this kind of citrus cost three or four yuan a pound, right?

Hu Yang parked the car on the side of the road, planning to get a box to go back and go to the proprietress for dinner, so he couldn't go there empty-handed, right?

The owner of the orchard was an old man with a sad face.

He is very troubled, this year's mandarin harvest is good, the yield per mu is very high, and the quality is good. However, there seem to be very few buyers this year, and until now, no big buyers have come to ask for the price.

He's in a hurry! The fruit hangs on the tree day by day, and it has a time limit, and when it is too ripe, it will fall off.

It is also a last resort to engage in these 20 yuan all-you-can-eat activities. To be honest, there are so many fruit trees in his house, if you have to rely on individual customers, there is no way, only large buyers can consume these fruits.

Andy couldn't help but ask: "Uncle, this fruit harvest is very good, what are you worried about?"

"The better the harvest, the more distressed it is. This year, the fruit is unsalable, and I see that a lot of citrus is going to rot on the trees. Alas!" the old man sighed helplessly.

He then asked them if they wanted to experience the 20 yuan entrance to the park or buy fruit directly.

"Bring me a box!" Hu Yang began.

Although the purchase volume is not much, the old man still smiled, no way! Now it is a pound to sell a pound. Recycle a little bit of fertilizer money as much as possible.

The old man hurriedly picked out the packed boxes, and his wife chattered beside him, complaining to them that they were going to lose money this year.

If the weather is bad and other factors, the fruit harvest is not good, and there is nothing to say about the loss. But the tree is fruitful, and you have to look at the loss, and it is a lie to say that you are not distressed.

The audience in the live broadcast room was speechless after learning the price of fruit in the place of origin.

In their city, they can't afford to eat fruit. This kind of citrus, in their place, is more than three yuan, more than four yuan, or even five or six yuan a catty.

Fruit farmers can't make money, or even lose money, and their consumers can't afford to eat, what is wrong?

Fruit is sent directly from the place of origin, fruit farmers can make money, consumers can also eat the freshest fruit, win-win, let those who want to make the most profit to hell!

Someone in the live broadcast room even asked if they could express it, and they could help buy it.

Hu Yang thought for a while and said: "Since everyone is so hearted, then let's do it! Wait a minute, I will create two or three large groups, and I will add the group to whatever I want, or one dollar and one catty, and I will pay the courier fee." ”

In fact, the fruit is not expensive, and the real cost is the courier fee, which is often more, which is also the biggest obstacle to the development of fruit micro-business.

When everyone heard this, many people were moved.

What is the difference between a pound of fruit for one dollar and a pound of fruit and picking it up? Just now, many people also wanted to help, but they kept silent when they thought of the terrible courier fee.

But now, Brother Hu took the initiative to take the cost of express delivery, and everyone only needs to give the fruit farmer a dollar of fruit cost, which is different.

Populus euphratica built two large flocks, and found that they were all full at once. It's all a whole box, after all, it's cheap! Even if you can't finish it, you can give it away.

Some people even ask for several boxes, which must be given away.

Such a good thing can only be encountered in Brother Hu's live broadcast room. Don't talk about players, even some anchors, they can't help but join the group and ask for one or two boxes, and there are not many in ten catties.

Populus euphratica made a rough count, and the orders of these audiences have exceeded 100,000 catties. The old man's orchard is definitely not enough.

At this time, the old man came over with a box of packaged oranges. He also specially installed a little more for Populus euphratica, after all, there are so many, if you can't sell them out, it will also rot on the tree, so it is better to give customers a little more and earn some goodwill.

"Uncle, how many fruits are there in your orchard?" asked Hu Yang.

The old man thought for a while: "It's about fifty or sixty thousand catties!"

Hu Yang nodded when he heard this, and looked at the orchard on the other side: "The owner of the orchard over there, you should know it, right?"

Although he didn't know what this young man wanted to do, he still nodded, indicating that he knew, how could someone from the same village not know each other?

"In this case, I intend to contract the fruit of your orchard. However, it may not be enough, so you can ask me about the orchard over there. If the other party doesn't find a buyer, it's all for me. ”

When the old man heard this, he thought he had heard it wrong, and was stunned for a while: "Contracting, is it not enough for me?"

He was so surprised that he almost suspected that it was an acquirer. However, whether it is or not, the best news is that your own fruit can be sold.

After being stunned, he cheered up and nodded hurriedly: "Boss, you wait, I'll call Lao Li and ask him to come over immediately." ”

His wife was also pleasantly surprised, they had been worried about this fruit for many days.

In fact, it's not just them, their village, and even their town that grows oranges have a headache. This year's buyers are at least two-thirds less, but one-third more fruit, which is very fatal.

"Boss, where are you going to sell it?" asked the old woman.

Hu Yang shook his head with a smile: "Old man, I'm not the boss." I'm just an anchor, and I have a lot of fans and friends, and when I saw the situation of your fruit, they volunteered to help. So, this fruit is not what I bought, but what my audience friends wanted. ”

Only then did the old man understand that this was the case. At the same time, I am even more grateful.

Lao Li, who is trusting the relationship and looking for a buyer, received a call from a neighbor, and he was still a little impatient, he was annoyed!

Compared with others, his family's fruit is a little later, and other people's families have more or less sold a little, and his family has not made a move at all, seeing that all of them are going to rot in the orchard, how can he not be anxious?

"What? There's a boss who wants to contract our citrus? Okay, I'll be there right away, I'll be there right away. Lao Li didn't say a word, took his son and others, and immediately rushed to the orchard.

Not long after, another orchard owner arrived, came up and handed cigarettes to Hu Yang and Hua Tsai, a Chinese way of hospitality.

"No, we don't smoke. I don't think it's too early, and we'll have to go back to the city later, so I call you over, mainly to make an agreement, and I'll pay you a deposit, which will be regarded as a reservation for your family's fruit. Tomorrow, I will contact the courier company to come over.

You will pick the fruit and pack it as soon as possible today and tomorrow, is there any problem?" After speaking, Hu Yang gave them two families, each with a deposit of 50,000 yuan.

The price is all good, one dollar and one catty. said it was a deposit, but in fact, it was contracted directly to them for 50,000 yuan, and they were also willing.

This year's fruit price is not good, and the buyer also gives a dollar, or even a few cents, and has to pick and choose. The fruit of each of their two families is about 60,000 catties.

Seeing this boss so cheerful, what else do they have to ask?

"Okay, boss, don't worry, we will help you take it off and pack it overnight. "If you don't have enough manpower, you can ask the village people for help and give some labor money.

The most important thing is that someone wants it, and they like it the most.

In previous years, they might have hesitated, after all, in the later stages, the price of the fruit might have risen a little. But this year, they don't feel like there's hope.

After paying the deposit, Hu Yang took Andy to leave first, and after going back, he still needed to sort out the order information of his friends, and there were many things to do.

They brought a box of oranges to the proprietress house, only to see that the proprietress had a single house, five stories high, and her own family lived on two floors, and the rest were rented out as a family hotel.

Usually, her husband manages the operation of the hotel, and she looks at the antique shop, and the division of labor is obvious.

In addition, there are two children at home. The eldest is already in the fifth grade, and the younger one is just over three years old. According to her husband, Mr. Kong, the youngest child was born only when the country opened up the second child.

"Listen to your sister, Xiaohu, do you have anything to gain by going to see the bamboo shoot shell carving today?" Mr. Kong asked with a smile.

In terms of antiques, he also knows something, but he is not interested in the antique business, so the antique shop is handed over to his wife to take care of, and he runs a hotel at home and takes care of children.

"Well, it's good, we bought some to give away. ”

After the meal, they saw Hu Yang and Andy sorting out the information, and couldn't help but be curious, so Andy told them what happened.

When the proprietress and his wife heard this, they admired it very much, just the courier fee would cost two or three hundred thousand yuan, right? This is really not something that ordinary people are willing to pay.

"I'll help you contact the courier, so many, you should be able to get a discount. Mr. Kong said.
