Chapter 189: Agriculture, Forestry and Horticulture
How to price the mushroom, Li Dongwen doesn't have a score.
"How do you sell the mushrooms you usually pick in the mountains?" asked Sun Xiaoyan.
"According to different varieties, the price is also different, the general straw mushroom and tree mushroom, dried mushroom will be sold for five or six yuan a catty, pine mushroom and hazel mushroom are more expensive, can be sold for more than ten yuan a catty. We have authentic hazelnut mushrooms, at least for this price. Sun Xiaoyan's answer was obviously based on market research.
Li Dongwen asked again: "How is this hazelnut mushroom compared to fungus?"
Sun Xiaoyan said: "The fungus has been artificially cultivated, the technology is relatively mature, our mushroom is natural and wild, authentic mountain treasure, much more precious than the fungus." ”
Li Dongwen: "Mushrooms, there are also artificially grown, right?"
Sun Xiaoyan: "Artificially grown mushrooms cannot be regarded as mushrooms at all, they can only be called mushrooms. Nowadays, the food eaten by people in the city is basically artificially grown. ”
Li Dongwen: "How much do you want to sell?"
"Why can't it be cheaper than our company's fungus?" Sun Xiaoyan learned to compare.
Li Dongwen: "Then let's get a price with the fungus first, and try to sell it." ”
Sun Xiaoyan got the boss's instructions and hurried to prepare to sell mushrooms.
The ex-factory price of the fungus of the peach blossom fairy is 5 yuan a tael. The fungus can't be sold by the pound, one or two dried fungus is enough to make a dish. Is it expensive to cook a dish for 5 yuan?
Of course, when sold to consumers, it is 10 yuan, and 10 yuan is not too expensive.
Soon after, the peach blossom fairy stores across the country were notified that the company launched a new product, the peach blossom fairy mountain treasure - hazel mushroom. Two taels of packaging, the retail price is 19 yuan 9, and the ex-factory price is 10 yuan. The number of mountain treasures is limited, and the quota for each store in the first batch is only 100 catties.
For the Peach Blossom Fairy store, 100 catties of hazelnut mushrooms are only 5,000 yuan, which is too sprinkled and quickly ordered.
Wild mountain mushrooms belong to relying on the sky to eat, there are too many uncertain factors, Sun Xiaoyan is very unwilling, especially when he sees the first batch of payment for the sale of mushrooms arrive, this unwillingness is getting stronger and stronger.
For more than a year, the textile mill has spent money and has not made money.
Sun Xiaoyan never thought that the first business of the textile factory to make money was actually mushrooms, and a lot of money was made.
Sun Xiaoyan was eager to make mushrooms into an industry, and after thinking about it, he thought of Professor Zhou of Agriculture and Forestry University.
Taohuaxian Company signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Agriculture and Forestry University, and the silkworm breeding base was established with the help of Professor Zhou.
When Sun Xiaoyan came to the breeding base, he did not see Professor Zhou, but only saw Professor Zhou's assistant, Jiang Maolin.
"Professor Jiang, Professor Zhou is not here?" Professor Jiang is actually an associate professor, but Sun Xiaoyan will definitely not call him "Associate Professor Jiang".
"Professor Zhou has gone back to school. Director Sun, if you have something, I can tell him. ”
"I want to ask, about mushroom cultivation, it can't be regarded as planting, it's the wild mushrooms in the mountains, how can we increase the yield, and see what good way Professor Zhou can do. Sun Xiaoyan struggled to organize the language.
Jiang Maolin: "We are insects, and we don't know much about mushrooms. The wild mushrooms you mentioned belong to understory crops, and our school seems to have a corresponding major, which should be the Department of Horticulture, but I don't know what the specific major is. ”
"Can you trouble Professor Jiang, help contact one or two teachers to come over and help us guide, we have scientific research funds, we can sign an agreement." Sun Xiaoyan persevered.
"Okay, I'll get you in touch. ”
"Please, Professor Jiang. ”
"You're welcome. ”
Professor Jiang was preparing a paper, and every day he ran back and forth between the silkworm breeding base and the silkworm house, and he once drank mushroom soup and felt good.
But he is more concerned with silkworm farming, and he needs some basic data to enrich his thesis.
This silkworm breed belongs to a new breed, and many things need to be verified by practice.
If the Peach Blossom Fairy Company can be successfully cultivated, the value of this paper will be very huge, even far-reaching.
Of course, Professor Zhou will definitely be in front of him in the signing of the paper.
But even if he is the second author, Jiang Maolin is proud enough, maybe he can be promoted to professor with this paper.
If it is confirmed, this is a new species discovered, and it can even have naming rights.
A few days later, Professor Zhou brought two teachers from the Department of Horticulture to Tongyuan Peach Blossom Fairy Company.
The two teachers of the horticulture department, a man and a woman, the male is in his thirties, Chen Quan, and the female is in her forties, named Lin Jing. These two are obviously mainly women, and some leaders look like them.
Sun Xiaoyan personally received Professor Zhou and two teachers from the Department of Horticulture.
Professor Zhou really introduced the woman first, "Teacher Lin Jing, deputy director of the Department of Horticulture, Teacher Chen Quan, lecturer of the Department of Horticulture. The grandson director of Taohuaxian Company. ”
"Two teachers are welcome. ”
Lin Jing first asked: "Director Sun, can you take us to the mountains to have a look? According to common sense, mushrooms do not grow in this season, they should be in June or July." ”
Professor Zhou was also curious. That hazel forest is really a place to create surprises, last year the silkworms were found there, and this year mushrooms have grown, which is really amazing.
The group climbed up the hazel forest and saw uniformed workers busy picking leaves in the green area, and now it is the time when the first spring cannibalization has increased significantly, and the amount of leaves required every day is very large.
In the hazel forest, you can still pick a few mushrooms, but they are very rare. Chen Quan took out a thermometer and measured the temperature on the surface: 25 degrees. I measured the humidity again, 65%.
Chen Quan said: "The current temperature and humidity are close to the upper limit of mushroom growth. ”
Lin Jing asked, "Director Sun, is there plenty of rain here this spring, and the temperature is higher than usual?"
Sun Xiaoyan: "The rain is indeed abundant, you can see that the leaves are so lush." I didn't pay much attention to the temperature, but I thought that this year's spring came earlier. ”
Lin Jing said: "In this way, in autumn, a batch of mushrooms can still grow. ”
Sun Xiaoyan hurriedly asked, "How can I increase the yield of mushrooms?"
"Increasing the amount of humus in the soil, providing more nutrients, and keeping the right temperature and humidity stable for a long time can all increase mushroom yields," Lin said. ”
After hearing this, Sun Xiaoyan was still confused. The teacher was too professional and the students said they couldn't understand.
Sun Xiaoyan's eyes rolled: "Director Tian, our company has opened up an internship base and scientific research base here for students from the Department of Horticulture to intern, teachers to engage in scientific research, and our company will provide funds, how about it?"
Tian Jing: "The employment problem of our graduates is also very serious, can your company accept some?"
Sun Xiaoyan: "I can't ask for it! As long as we are willing to come, we will come as much as we want." In addition to silkworm farming, mushroom farming, our company also has beekeeping, wolfberry orchard, hawthorn orchard, peach orchard, peanut, rape, corn, aquatic ...... I suddenly found out that it was a good match for our school......"
