The fruit market of 367 years ago
"Lao Chen, be careful, you don't want this toe anymore. "The tea room F4 has not met for a long time, and now it is approaching Chinese New Year's Eve, and the business accounts are almost ready, and it is rare to meet such a leisurely moment."
"You know that my feet are inconvenient and I am still here, how do you see me going up the steps like this?" Chen Mingfa was used to being served by his wife at home during this time, and he suddenly felt a lot of inconvenience when he came out with Lao Zhu.
"Old Lu, take a hand and carry him up. ”
In fact, Chen Mingfa only fractured his toe, which is far less serious than imagined, but it is just hypocrisy. Soon after a few people took their seats, the warm tea room made people begin to relax, the boiling water was poured into the teapot, and Lao Zhu began to pour tea and talked about this year's market.
"I originally thought that the market would be sluggish in the second half of this year, but I didn't expect to kill a Kunyang fruit industry out of thin air, and I made more money in this half year than in the whole year. ”
Lao Zhu sighed with emotion, you must know that the fruit business is not as easy to do as it seems, the market fluctuates very much, many people pressed a batch of goods may make several times overnight, but more people are dead under the wave of the market.
Such a strange unit as Kunyang Fruit Industry is very rare, no matter what kind of goods are sold is the top configuration, except for the first few times when I was blind and threw the goods, there is no time to follow Kunyang behind without making money.
"This year, our Boss Chen is a big winner in life, and now the houses of Jinlan Mingju have been bought, it seems that this year he has made a lot of money with a few big orders in Kunyang!"
Lao Lu is talking about Chen Mingfa's big business like blueberries, you must know that this kind of situation where only one company in the city has goods is very rare, and it is estimated that Chen Mingfa has earned millions in these few businesses.
"It's just a fluke, look at what you say, Lao Lu. ”
Chen Mingfa feels that every choice in his life is very important, and the most correct choice he made this year was to send his wife to Jinlan Mingju for a square dance.
"Cheerilee a year ago can be regarded as a carnival, have you all gotten in the car?" Lao Zhu suddenly shifted the topic to Cheerilee.
This year, because the Chinese New Year is relatively early, the price of cherries on the market is higher than in previous years, it can be said that many fruit wholesalers have joined the battle of cherries, and what is even more exciting is that Kunyang Fruit Industry has been on holiday, there are no tigers in the mountains, and the time has come for cherries to be king.
"What, you're in the car?"
"How is it possible! If you get on the bus, how can you have this spare time to drink tea now?"
"What about you, Lao Lu?"
"Hehe, no, I even gave up durian this year, you say I still have the heart to make cherries?" Lao Lu has cooperated with the plantation owners in Equestria, and one-third of the durians in the Spring Festival market in Tongcheng are supplied by Lao Lu.
"Isn't the price of durian going to soar this year?"
"Why is it that without a pig slaughterer, Tongcheng can only eat pork with hair? Durian is not my family's cooking, in order to make money, someone will always pounce. ”
"Is the durian business really so good? In the first two years, Hongfa's Lao Li didn't buy a batch of dead bags, and finally lost all the mortgages before he recovered. ”
"Don't look at the current cherry sales, this year's New Year is relatively early, in addition to the air cherries, I am afraid that there are a large number of goods by sea that have not arrived in the mainland, and the high price can only be said to be lucky, and when the goods are thrown during the New Year, I am afraid that it is the crematorium!"
"It's still comfortable to do business with Kunyang, otherwise this year is the busiest time for us, where is the time for us to drink tea so leisurely. ”
"That's it, that's it, at this time of year, I'm busy doing business and can't even eat a mouthful of hot rice, let alone being able to drink tea and brag in the tea room, I'm afraid that the fruit wholesalers in Tongcheng can be as comfortable as us!"
At present, there are two completely different fruit wholesalers in the melon and fruit market in the New Year, one is a wholesaler under Kunyang like Lao Chen, and the other is a fruit merchant other than Kunyang wholesaler.
Unlike the mentality of the F4 people in the tea room who have no inventory and no pressure, the melon and fruit market in Tongcheng is now ushering in the busiest time of the year. Even if they made a lot of money in Kunyang this year, many greedy wholesalers did not choose to give up the New Year market like Lao Zhu and them, but devoted themselves to the fruit wholesale war before the New Year without hesitation.
"Fresh cherries have arrived!"
"Double J cherries are only 260 yuan a box, a box of 5 catties, come and buy it!"
At this time, the cherries in the fruit market are transported to the shops in truckloads, and a large number of fruit shop owners and a few nearby individual customers are crowded in the wholesale market.
"Boss, do you want to buy cherries?
"Boss, we only need 330 yuan a box of 10 catties here, do you want to take a look?"
Although the wholesalers tried their best to solicit customers, the customers wandered around the market leisurely, apparently not deciding which one to buy. There are at least 100 merchants selling cherries in this market, and now it is completely a buyer's market, so there is no hurry.
"Damn, there are so many cherries on the market this year. "Because of Kunyang's withdrawal, it gave wholesalers a delusion that I would definitely be able to sell well without Kunyang! With this blind confidence, wholesalers increased their orders for cherries.
When tens of thousands of tons of cherries flocked to the Tongcheng fruit market, the faces of the wholesalers were a little ugly.
"Sold the goods, sold the goods a year ago, come and see, the cherries are 250 yuan a box of 8 catties. ”
"220 yuan a box of five catties, double J cherries, don't miss it when you pass by. ”
The more the New Year approaches, the price of cherries begins to slowly become a little unmoving, in order to sell the price given by the merchant is getting lower and lower, coupled with the loss of cherries, as well as the oversupply in the market, the previous year has become an inevitable choice.
The price of double J cherries has changed from the original 399 five catties to 280 five catties, and then to the current 220 yuan and five catties, and the unit price has fallen below the 50 yuan mark.
Traders are becoming more and more anxious, because once it is the first day of the Lunar New Year, the cherries will have to go through another round of diving, and the wholesale price at that time is basically a break-even price, and even if it is not sold out, it may lose money.
Every year, there will be so many bankrupt fruit wholesalers in Tongcheng, either they were deceived when they bought the goods, or they were not sold in time and finally lost their money, wholesalers like Chen Mingfa who stopped drinking tea in the tea room early are the people who are looking through the market, in previous years, they will sell a batch of goods before the year, and this year there is Kunyang's business, and finally you can live the days of counting money with peace of mind after the granules are returned to the warehouse.
In the tea room, Chen Mingfa and a few people talked about the recent economic situation from the fruit market, and then evaluated this year's business, and suddenly Chen Mingfa remembered that he had something important to forget.
"By the way, I almost forgot a big thing, you guys come and see this thing. ”
Chen Mingfa took out a rough clay pot from the bag behind him, yes, it was the fig honey that Zhou Kun brought over there.
"This is very likely to be Kunyang's new product at the beginning of next year, do you know how I got it?"
Chen Mingfa looked at Lao Zhu and the others around him as he spoke, and found that their eyes were glued to the clay pot, and the sound of breathing in the tea room slowed down.
"How did you get it?"
"My wife went to Boss Zhou's house to give a gift a year ago, which is a return gift from others. ”
"Open it up and give us a taste!"
When Chen Mingfa opened the clay pot, a sweet fragrance gradually emanated from the warm tea room, and the fig tree originally had a good smell, fresh and sweet.
This fig honey retains the fragrance of figs very well, the key is that the natural honey is not too sweet, even if it is eaten empty, it is not sweet, Chen Mingfa took out a wooden spoon from his arms, and then scooped a spoonful of honey into each person's teacup.
Shake the spoon slightly, and soon the honey melts in the tea.
Lao Zhu raised the cup and sniffed it on the tip of his nose, the taste was refreshing, and the sweet fragrance of figs was accompanied by the sweet aroma of figs in one sip, and the sweet taste presented in the tea was endless.
"You just said that this is a return gift from Boss Zhou?"
