Chapter 36: The Cherry Is Ripe (3)

Lao Fang was busy inspecting and selling goods, and Lao Qi couldn't intervene. With nothing to do, he wandered around the warehouse where the cherries were kept, and came to the parking lot outside.

It was already 8 p.m., and there were still a few farm trucks coming in from outside. Looking at the full boxes on the car, Lao Qi knew that he was sending cherries to them again.

"Old watch, do you collect cherries here?"

A rough voice came, Lao Qi looked at the short middle-aged man who got off the farm truck at the head, and said with a smile: "Old Biao, why are you here now?

"Hahaha...... The road is far away, from Xinhua, there are 1670 kilometers of road. I didn't expect you to have the door open. ”

"Old watch, we are here to buy on credit, and we can't pay until the end of the month, do you know?" Lao Qi reminded this old watch who came from afar.

"I know, how can I not know. Lao Liu passed me the electronic version of your agreement, and I have already signed a credit purchase agreement with Lao Liu. Old watch, will you go back to the agreement?"

"Old watch, you can rest assured, as long as the agreement has been signed, we will dare to collect as much as we want according to the provisions of the agreement. You have shipped about 30 tons today, let them put off the fire and rest, and make sure that they will be harvested today. ”

"Hahaha...... , that's good. It'll be okay later, as long as you take it. ”

The short man said, took out a bag of 100 yuan of Yunnan cigarettes, took out one and handed it to Lao Qi. Lao Qi waved his hand, took out the bag of the 1996 version of Tashan, took out one and handed it to the short man, and said with a smile: "Old watch, come, smoke this, this is enjoyable." ”

The short man took the cigarette handed by Lao Qi, habitually sniffed it under his nose, and then looked at the style of the cigarette, and looked at Lao Qi with a shocked face, "Old watch, do you still have this cigarette?"

Lao Qi smiled proudly, "Shout, Lao Biao is also an insider, smell it." Try to draw money, no worse than the 100 yuan Yunnan you used to fight for face. ”

The short man lit the 1996 version of Tashan that Lao Qi gave him, took a sip, and tasted it in his chest, and only after half a sound did two puffs of smoke erupt from his nostrils. Then, after a few more puffs, he said intoxicatedly: "I haven't smoked this smell for many years, old watch, how did you keep this cigarette?"

"Hehe, it's not easy. Back then, I kept a few boxes, sealed them with more than ten layers of plastic wrap, put them in the cold storage and threw them away, and forgot about them. This year, I only found these cigarettes, and after opening a box, the taste still retains the original flavor. ”

Lao Qi began to brag. Although cigarettes can be treated in this way, they can be kept for more years without deteriorating and not smelling. This is still the method of storing cigarettes he learned from the Nanyan Technology Center, but whether anyone is so boring that he keeps cigarettes for 20 years is unknown.

"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, and the packaging is uniformly packaged in accordance with your agreement, and even the packaging box is customized with you. As long as you let go of the volume of purchases, we have a lot of cherries there. 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. He hadn't been there in Xinhua for years. He was very impressed by the mountain because there was a unique men's festival there. I think back then, when he went there, he was drunk by those flowery waist girls.

"Old watch, we have more cherries and walnuts there. On such a big mountain, that household does not have dozens of acres of hillside forest land? The state has subsidies for returning farmland to forests, and the hillside land is also idle, so how can it be said that there is some income from planting some fruit trees? 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. You have the ability to keep the cigarettes for more than 20 years so well, I believe that you can also keep the 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, and it is not that there is no output, but there is no good market. So many treasures are hidden in the deep mountains and no one knows, 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 the people, and cherry blossoms are not cherry blossoms, we don't talk about this. 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.
