"Susanna, don't be so upset. Our melons are already very expensive, not very cheap, $20 a piece. Liu Heming brought Suzanne a glass of mixed juice and persuaded him bitterly.

"But our melons are so good, but they are so much cheaper than theirs. Suzanne pouted.

Liu Heming sighed in his heart, there was no way, it seemed that he was abducted by himself, and everyone fell into the eyes of money.

The quality of the melons is very good, and Suzanne is quite bold when she sets the price, directly setting it at $20 a piece. Changed to soft sister coins, this is also a melon of more than 100 yuan.

Liu Heming felt that the price was already sky-high, but after Suzanne came back this time, she felt that she was selling cheaply. Because this $20 melon is not the most expensive price.

The most expensive melons are the melons of Yubari in Japan, which are also sold at auction, and two pairs can be sold for millions of yen. Even if it is smaller, six melons can be sold for 120,000 yen, which is about 1.5 kilograms. Converted into each melon is about $170.

The melons in their own ranch are very well-proportioned, about 0.7 pounds. It's bigger than their small melons, but the price is much lower than theirs.

This is what makes Suzanne depressed, the intelligence gathering is not thorough enough. I thought it was very expensive, but in fact, it was still a little low.

"No, I must sell the watermelon this time. Suzanne took a sip of the juice and said very seriously.

"How much are you going to sell?" asked Liu Heming curiously.

"The average watermelon in the supermarket is about $4 a piece for about 20 pounds, and the organic watermelon is about 15 pounds for $7 a piece. All of our watermelons are over twenty-five pounds, and the big ones are over thirty pounds. Suzanne said seriously.

"Some time ago, Japan's 'Tasuke Watermelon' sold for 350,000 yen, and it was shown off in the media for a long time. Our watermelons are heavier and taste better than theirs, so why can't we sell more? I'm going to sell them at auction, how about a $1,000 starting bid?"

Hearing Susanna's words, everyone opened their mouths wide. Liu Heming even tested the temperature on Susanna's forehead with his hand to see if the girl was stimulated.

"Oops, Sasha, the boss is taking advantage of me. Suzanne ran to the other side of the sofa in a panic and sat down against Sasha.

Sasha glanced at her and shook her head helplessly. If this watermelon is really auctioned for 1,000 dollars, she doesn't know if she can sell it, and the price seems a bit outrageous.

"Susanna, we can't just look at it that way. Liu Heming hesitated slightly, feeling that he still had to persuade Susanna.

"The situation in Japan is much worse than ours here. They have very little arable land and are not very rich in various materials. It's not just watermelons and muskmelons that are expensive, but in fact, everything they sell over there is expensive. ”

"Now Wagyu cattle are exported all over the world, which can bring them some income, but in fact, a lot of agricultural products are digested by their own country. Belong to yourself, watermelon, melon, grapes...... There are so many fruits, and they are all able to make what they think is the best in the world. ”

"Our melons can have an output of nearly 100,000 pieces, and we can sell 80,000 pieces if we eat them ourselves. As for these watermelons, there can be about 60,000 top melons, and 50,000 smaller second melons. If we really auction it at $1,000 each, when will these 60,000 pieces be sold? ”

"And our ranch has just opened, unlike Japan where it has been in business for a long time. They are supported by the government, so it will be convenient both in terms of publicity and sales. ”

If you don't persuade you, you can't do it, I said that Suzanne is expensive on the sales company's side, and the pricing problem will be handed over to her to be responsible. Although he also wants to sell his watermelons at a sky-high price, it means that his income is high. But you also need to consider people's affordability, the future melon will be continuously supplied, and now is just the beginning.

"Haya, do you think these watermelons are expensive for a thousand dollars each?" Suzanne asked as she looked at Haya with some reluctance.

Liu Heming rolled his eyes, you ask Haya, don't say a thousand dollars, even if it is ten thousand dollars, if she likes it, she doesn't think it's expensive.

Sure enough, Haya's head shook quickly while drinking mixed juice, "It's not expensive, it's not expensive at all, I have to pack 10,000 at home, 1,000 at a time." ”

Suzanne looked at Liu Heming with smug eyes.

"Just drink the juice and don't worry about it. Liu Heming said helplessly.

He has a bit of a headache, and to put it bluntly, he is not willing to sell too cheaply, but when it comes to selling things, you can't sell it angrily with others. At present, it has to be digested in the United States, how many people are in the United States, and the supply will come up one after another in the future, even if many high-income people want to buy it, they have to consider it.

"Boss, how many watermelons do you plan to supply each month in the future?" asked Suzanne after a moment's thought.

"Judging from the population and consumption level of the United States, I plan to plant 6,000 melon seedlings in each greenhouse, which is about 8,000 to 10,000 supplies. Liu Heming said.

"In the summer, there will be more supply, and if the weather is right, you don't need to plant in a greenhouse, and you can reduce some of the planting costs. ”

"Well, twenty-five pounds or so for two hundred and fifty dollars a piece. If you weigh more than twenty-five pounds, you will probably eat it yourself. What about the price?" asked Susanna.

"Sasha, what do you think?" Liu Heming asked again, looking at Sasha again.

"I—where do I understand that. And I've eaten these watermelons, and I think it's good for the price, but people who haven't eaten these watermelons may still think it's expensive, right?" Sasha said after a moment's hesitation.

"Boss, I really think it's okay for the price. Now the strawberries and melons in our ranch are well received, in fact, I think the strawberries are the ones that sell the most. Suzanne spoke.

"The supply of 10,000 melons per month is not very large, and I think the US market can fully absorb it, and now the Tajita side has considered opening up the sale of vegetables from our pastures in the rest of the week. ”

"Okay, these watermelons are $249 a piece, and I always feel stupid at 250. Liu Heming compromised, but resolutely could not sell 250.

"OK, that's it, really, the opportunity to make more money slipped away so easily. Suzanne said with some disgust.

"In the future, I will make the fruits in our pasture into high-quality products. As long as you eat fruit, it is not a boutique without the bear logo on it. Boss, work hard, come on, and come out with a variety of fruits. Although the sales volume is small, the profit is high. After selling for three or five years, our sales company can be listed. ”

"Hahaha, I'm going to be the queen of fruits. We want the whole world to know that the fruits of our ranch are the best, and when you think of eating fruits, you have to buy those from our ranch. ”

"Hey, what are you going to do? I haven't finished my words yet, I still have a lot of plans after the listing. Listen to me tell you carefully......"

Suzanne imagines the future for a moment, but she realizes that everyone is supposed to do what they are supposed to do, and only the family tearing group is left rolling around here waiting for her to tickle.

Liu Heming really felt that he couldn't continue to stay here, and Susanna's mental state seemed to be really abnormal recently. Suzanne used to be so mature and steady, but now she is about to become like Helois.

I went around the outside, mainly the construction of the new greenhouses. This long and slippery greenhouse makes him feel very good, and every shed represents money.

If it weren't for the fact that the fruits and vegetables were just opening the market, he would have wanted to get more greenhouses for growing watermelons, melons and strawberries.

If you want to say the best workers in the ranch, it has to be the earthworms. They really work tirelessly every day to eat the soil, and by the end of the year, they have no problem eating 10,000 acres of arable land.

As he was strolling around, Liu Yi called him, "How is it?

"A total of 200 people have been enrolled, and we are now doing basic English training. It will take about a month to get to work on your ranch. Liu Yi said.

"That's good, there are more greenhouses being built now, and when they come over, they can work directly. Liu Heming said with a smile.

"You should come back too, George has been complaining to me for the past two days, everything needs to be dealt with by him, he feels that he is tired and thin. ”

"Booked a ticket the day after tomorrow. But now the vegetables in your ranch also have a big repercussion in China, and many newspapers have reported on them. Are you considering returning to China to develop planting?" asked Liu Yi.

"Forget it for the time being, I haven't figured out so much land here in Xiangshui Town, where is there so much time to do this. Liu Heming said with a wry smile.

"And the cost of land in China is so high, it will also increase our planting cost a lot, so let's not consider this problem for now. ”

International calls are still quite expensive, and without saying much, Liu Heming hung up the phone. Going back to China to engage in planting is really attractive. The labor cost is low, but the land cost is high. Now I really don't have so much energy to worry about this, and the sales of crops in the pasture are on the right track, and the next most important thing is the auction in Xiangshui Town.

Only by buying all these collective lands in Xiangshui Town can their big plans be realized. I only hope that the Montana state government will really not just stare at the transaction price, as Ball said, but will take into account the significance of the future development of Xiangshui Town.
