Chapter 41: The Cherry Is Ripe (8)
"Hehehe, no wonder you dare to buy cherries in large quantities, it turns out that you really have a way to solve the problem of cherry preservation. Old watch, there is no problem with the quality of my cherry fruits, the packaging is uniformly packaged in accordance with your agreement, and even the packaging box is customized with you, with the same specifications. As long as you let go of the quantity purchase, we have a lot of cherries there, and we want as many as we want. The short man took a puff on his cigarette and said boldly.
"Old Watch, how many of your new cherries are there?" asked the short man with concern. Since leaving Nanyan Group, he hasn't been there in Xinhua for many years. He was very impressed by that mountain, because there was a unique 318 men's festival there. I think back then, he went to the countryside to work, and when he went there, he was drunk by those enthusiastic and generous flower waist girls, and now he is still full of sweet memories and infinite longing in retrospect.
"Old watch, we have more cherries and walnuts there. On such a big mountain, that family and that household do not have dozens of acres of hillside woodland? The state has subsidies for returning farmland to forests, and the hillside land is also idle, and planting some fruit trees can also make some income, right? If you dare to collect it, we will dare to sell it to you on credit, and it is nothing more than some manual picking. For more than 20 years, you have the ability to preserve it so well and taste so mellow. With this technology, I believe that you can also save cherries and sell them to other provinces. ”
The short man is nonsensical and believes in Lao Qi with a 1996 version of Tashan smoke. This old cousin of the Dai family is too bold, right? This situation made Lao Qi feel that he should do something even more. There are too many resources in this mountain, not that there is no output, but there is no good market, and there is no smooth sales channel to sell the treasures all over the mountains into money. It's a pity that so many treasures are hidden in the deep mountains and no one knows about them, and they blossom and bear fruit year after year.
"This is also a ha, old watch, I heard that you have a ten-mile cherry blossom avenue there. From the county seat to the Mopan Mountain Scenic Area, the road and the mountain are full of cherry blossom trees, what kind of cherry blossom festival is held, and what is the effect?"
Lao Qi is very interested in this kind of artificially created festival. I heard that it is famous all over the country, but he didn't want to go there more than 100 kilometers away, and he didn't listen to the recommendations of his friends, so he didn't have much impression.
"Hehe, it is said that more than 200,000 cherry blossoms are planted there, and everyone says that it adds color to the forest park, and it is said to be the largest cherry blossom viewing place in China, known as 'Cherry Blossom City'. Every year in February and March, we engage in some tourist activities, which are useless, and how much benefit do the common people have? Hehe, the traffic there is much more convenient than ours in Xinhua. If only 200,000 cherries were planted, the flowers in February and March would be taken care of, and the fruits would be eaten in April and May, and four or five thousand tons of cherries would be harvested at least, and forty or fifty million would be sold for ten yuan a kilogram. ”
"Hehe, the government's focus is different from that of the common people, and cherry blossoms are not cherry blossoms, so we don't talk about that. I went there in '97, and the wild rhododendrons that naturally grow on Mopan Mountain are really beautiful, and the pristine landscape is worth a long journey to enjoy. ”
……
Lao Qi didn't have anything to do, so he smoked and bragged with the old watch, waiting for the old party to check the receipts.
At ten o'clock in the evening, the cherries shipped that day had been put into storage, and the warehouse manager in charge of statistics handed over the warehousing list to the old party. Lao Fang looked at the list and beckoned Lao Qi, who was smoking and bragging with a few fruit farmers who came to deliver cherries.
"Lao Qi, come on, come on, come and see, a total of 3,123 tons and 540 kilograms were collected yesterday and today. During the random sampling, the harvest quality, fruit maturity, and single-box weighing were all done in accordance with the agreement, and no one dared to play tricks in the past two days. "Lao Fang's black face is still very scary, and he is very serious when he does business.
Lao Qi took the list and looked at it, nodded with a smile, this link is what he is most afraid of, and it must be strictly controlled. Lao Qi himself was born in the countryside, and after work, he often went to the county and township to work to inspect the purchase of flue-cured tobacco, and spent a lot of time dealing with all kinds of farmers, and he learned too much about the farmers' cleverness and small methods. Lao Qi is a civilized person, he will not waste saliva with those fruit farmers, he will use economic means to control this link.
This time the purchase on credit has passed the peak period of local cherry prices, and the purchase price given is very reasonable, and the people who operate the orchard are basically the people who run the orchard. In formulating the terms of the credit purchase agreement, Lao Qi proposed that they should provide packaging boxes in a unified manner, but it was not cheap for those fruit farmers, which was very targeted.
The agreement stipulates that the cherries will be labeled with the contract number on the box when they are purchased and put into storage, which directly points to the specific purchase contract and the orchard where the cherries are produced. If there are other problems with the purchased cherries other than preservation, each box can be traced back to the specific link that caused the problem, and the harvesting and packing were completed in that orchard.
Even if the old party is only one out of ten when they enter the warehouse, they can still find the specific responsible person if there is a problem. All these clauses involving responsibilities and rights are clearly written and explained clearly in the agreement. If there are still people fighting ghosts, when settling, this account is worth calculating. This is also the scariest part of the credit contract.
Selling on credit, those fruit farmers are actually no strangers. Needless to say, look at the business model of the supermarket.
This clause, in the words of Lao Fang and lawyer Lao Kuai, is to take the lives of those fruit farmers. But Lao Qi knew that it was just a leftover quality control method played by the Great Qin Empire two thousand years ago, and now it has become the essence of those modern quality control systems.
Looking at the staff and porters who have been exhausted from work so far, Lao Qile said to Lao Fang: "Hahaha...... , yes, yes, everyone is familiar with each other, business is business. The rules are formulated, and everyone plays according to the rules, so that you can be hello, I am good, everyone is good. Hahaha...... , everyone has worked hard all day, Lao Fang, you let everyone go back to rest, and you have to continue to buy tomorrow. ”
Lao Fang handed over the warehouse key and list to Lao Qi and went home. Lao Qi was reluctant to talk about long-distance transportation and preservation, so he stopped exploring it. Everyone has their own secrets, and partners can't cooperate if they are too serious with each other.
Besides, Lao Qi and him are on business, and the terms of the agreement are not in charge? Lao Qi is a serious person, he can use the terms to ask others, and he is not ambiguous about himself.
What can best represent Lao Qi is not the mutual trust formed by the decades of old friends between Lao Qi and Lao Fang, but the three sets of real estate worth more than 8 million yuan in Lao Qi's city, and the real fixed assets are the real guarantee given by Lao Qi.
