After Yu Kaixuan's report on this day, Liu Yuanjie finally saw the contract he signed with the Market Bureau.

The contract is more than a dozen pages long, and Liu Yuanjie was about to take a good look at it, when he suddenly heard He Jinxue say: "Director Liu, I will start buying apples next week, and I have already contacted many cooperatives." This year is a big year, the whole country has a bumper harvest, and the price of apples is under great pressure, so I think we can collect it according to 1 yuan and 2 yuan. ”

"One?"

"Haha, how is that possible?

"Ahh ”

He Jinxue smiled and said, "Director Liu, you may not know much about this. The kind of red Fuji you mentioned is a big one, with no fruit spots, and the good quality is often up to the top of the seventies and eighties. ”

"What is seventy-eighty-eighty, the age?"

"No, it's the diameter of an apple. He Jinxue said with a smile, "What you bought in the supermarket belongs to commercial fruits." According to the quality of the fruit, commercial fruits can generally be bought about two fast, and they are all in supermarkets and stores. These apples are expensive, but they are also expensive, so you have to manage the orchard well, thinning the branches, fertilizing them, and bagging them......."

"What is bagging?"

Looking at Liu Yuanjie's expression, He Jinxue explained more patiently, "It is to put a paper bag on each apple, the cost of input is very large, and the fruit farmers are also hard, so the price can naturally be sold." But our fruit farmers don't have the same technology, and they don't have the money to hire people to bag and pick bags, and some can't even afford fruit bags. Therefore, the quality of fruits in our county cannot go up, and the price cannot be bought. ”

"Oh, that's it. ”

"And the fruit that makes juice is definitely not the kind of good apples that sell well, it is often the fruit and other big customers, who are apple sellers who come to the countryside to buy apples, and wait for the big customers to pick up the leftover apples, and the fruit farmers sell them to us. ”

"Oh. Do growers still have any money?"

"Not much, transfer hard-earned money. However, the situation is not good this year, and it would be good not to lose money. Director Liu, it is not very convenient for Apple to let the masses send it down by themselves, in previous years, I contacted the car and people and went to the village to collect it in person, so that the efficiency can be higher. ”

"Then let's do as we have done in previous years. ”

"Director Liu, today's apple harvest is a bumper harvest, and we may be able to press this price again in the later stage, and do everything possible to reduce our costs. ”

"Uh-huh, okay, you can watch and deal with it. "He doesn't know much about the fruit market, so these things are better left to He Jinxue to do.

When commuting to work these days, Liu Yuanjie looked at the thriving factory, and he still felt a sense of pride in his heart. The workers in the factory are not as vicious as a few days ago, and a group of people gathered downstairs to "force the palace".

Now they all have smiles on their faces, and they are also extremely respectful and enthusiastic when they see Liu Yuanjie.

While others were busy, Liu Yuanjie felt like a mascot. In addition to listening to reports, eating, sleeping, and two o'clock and one line, he spends the most effort on writing every day.

He is very confident in the fantasy novels he is writing, and his writing state is gradually improving.

After a week of comfortable life, the second week, the acquisition soon began.

Liu Yuanjie has been coding words for more than a week, and he has maintained 20,000 words of writing every day, and he is about to run out of oil. This afternoon, I suddenly wanted to go out for a walk and relax.

Because he couldn't drive, Yu Kaixuan volunteered and borrowed a small van to pull Liu Yuanjie out of the county.

The rural scenery, full of green, and the wind is high and refreshing, which makes Liu Yuanjie feel relaxed and happy. Yu Kaixuan drove while introducing him to the situation in DN County. The two of them drove farther and farther away, and it was almost dark when they were not careful. When I wanted to go back, I suddenly found that the way back was blocked by the villagers.

Liu Yuanjie got out of the car curiously and found that it was not blocked by the villagers, but a truck blocked by the villagers, and the truck blocked the road out of the village.

As a writer, he likes to watch the excitement the most, after all, collecting materials cannot only rely on reading books, but also close to life.

"It's useless for you to block me, I'm just a delivery person. ”

"Okay Jiumao, why are you lowering the price again?"

"It's not my idea to reduce the price, and I can't be the master. Besides, you don't want to sell, just unload the goods and it's over, the business is not benevolent, everyone is good to gather and disperse, let me go?"

"You start to say 9 cents, we hired someone to load the goods into the car, and you want to reduce the price. If you don't want it now, you won't want it, so who will pay for the labor costs?"

"Don't think we don't know, you big customers have discussed it, and if you want to reduce the price, you will reduce the price, and deliberately lower the price. ”

Yu Kaixuan walked over at this time and explained: "Factory director, don't look at it, let's go, there is still a road over there." Let them quarrel, there are a lot of such things every year. ”

Liu Yuanjie nodded, and was about to turn around and leave, when he suddenly heard the big customer who received the goods shouting angrily: "You group of people are really, this is the goods from the juice factory in our county, people want more this year, and it is normal to be cheaper." If you are too expensive, you can send it to the juice factory yourself and see if they will accept you. You also know the situation this year, thanks to a juice factory, otherwise, your apples will rot in the ground, and someone will see if they have collected them? I advise you to sell them as soon as you can sell them for eight cents, and tomorrow it may be seven cents and five cents, or seven cents. If you have enough apples in the factory, what will you do with them? Eat them yourself? Eat them until next year and see if you can eat them all!"

Seeing that the big guest was angry, the villagers stopped talking.

An old lady walked out tremblingly, "Big brother, you can do well, it's not easy to serve the orchard for a year, you have eight cents to harvest, and we will be busy this year." ”

"That's it, Bamao is too cheap. ”

"Raise the price again. ”

The big guest said helplessly: "Alas, auntie, it's not that I don't want to go up, but this is the price set by other people's juice factories, and I can't be the master." You don't want to sell, but there are more people who are willing to sell. If everybody comes to me and begs me, what should I do, and I'll pay 10 yuan for your apples? ”

"But big brother ......."

"Don't call me big brother, auntie, it's useless what you call it, sell it or not, you can give me a word. ”

The villagers looked at each other, and the last middle-aged man gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and said, "Sell, eight cents a catty, you can give money." ”

Dake frowned and smiled, "That's right this time, it's called up." ”

Yu Kaixuan looked at Liu Yuanjie's expression uncertainly, and he didn't dare to speak when he stood aside. Liu Yuanjie stood and watched the villagers get the money, and then settled the accounts on the side of the road, and each family received one or two thousand yuan before slowly dispersed.

"It's only sold for more than 2,000, what about the baby's tuition?" When a couple passed by Liu Yuanjie, the woman said, holding the money, her eyes were red.

The man walked forward with his head stuffed, and did not speak, looking sad and gloomy.

A young man sat on the side of the road with the old lady who had just spoken, and the young man looked at the old man who counted the money and scolded, "Eight cents to harvest fruits, that juice factory is simply not a person, a group of bastards, you know how to make money." Grandma, we won't be planting apples next year. ”

"Alas, it's not easy for people. Don't scold people, be careful to let people hear. ”

"It's not easy for them, it's not easy for them to be a fart! Collusion with big customers to lower prices and bully us farmers. The price of the fruit has dropped, and their soda has not been reduced, so why should we be pressed on the price? Milk, you work so hard, you only earn more than 1,000 yuan a year, I will cut down the fruit tree tomorrow, and next year I will say that I will not plant anything!"

"Alas, it's not easy for the croppers, forget it, you take this money, haven't you always wanted to buy a mobile phone?" the old man counted out a wad of money and handed it to the young man.

"Milk, I've said I'll sell fruit for you to see a doctor this year. ”

"It's an old problem, it doesn't matter. Just drag it off. ”

"Grandma'....."

"Take it, with a mobile phone, don't just know how to play games, know no!"

"Got it, Grandma. ”
