Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

By the time the hare farm was completed and a large number of hares, space spiritual springs and space pastures were put in, the time had reached the end of July, and the rainy season in the Ginkgo area had really come!

The monsoon from the Indian Ocean brings abundant rainfall, which is also the largest annual precipitation replenishment in the entire northwest Yunnan region, and it is because of these three months of rainy season that the snow-capped mountains in northwest Yunnan are able to maintain enough glaciers to provide a large amount of snow-capped meltwater to the rivers in the region.

However, compared with the rainy season in other places, the rainy season in northwest Yunnan is not a rainy situation, and the sun often rises immediately after heavy rain, and the scene of sunrise in the east and rain in the west is basically staged every day.

The arrival of the rainy season has also had a certain impact on the Jinghu Scenic Area, after all, many projects and excursions need to be carried out outdoors, and the rainwater that pours down from time to time has become a major obstacle to the operation of the scenic spot.

After the arrival of the rainy season, the number of tourists arriving in Ginkgo Village every day showed a downward trend, and the number of tourists received per day was only two-thirds of that of the previous period, and the number of weekends did not exceed 5oo.

In view of this situation, the senior management of Jinghu Company with Yang Yuanhang has long anticipated, and while strengthening services, they are also constantly improving various hardware facilities in the scenic spot to prepare for the peak of passenger flow after the end of the rainy season.

In general, the current Jinghu Scenic Area relies more on the beautiful scenery of Jinghu Lake, Qingling Mountain and the surrounding areas to attract tourists, in fact, it is still in its infancy in terms of amusement projects and activity design. The Jinghu Scenic Area, which has just been established for less than half a year, has not yet been able to make full use of the various resources in the scenic area. Kaicheng dù belongs to the primary stage.

The arrival of the rainy season has affected the operation of the scenic spot to a certain extent, and has also given the management a buffer for reflection and precipitation, so that they can adjust the work direction of the scenic spot in a timely manner according to the business situation in the past six months, so as to lay a better foundation for the next exhibition!

In the long-term planning of the Jinghu Scenic Area, the annual number of tourists can reach 3o, which can be regarded as basically qualified, and the current Jinghu Scenic Area is still a considerable distance from this goal.

…………

As for the villagers of Ginkgo Village, they are not too concerned about the decrease in tourists. After all, in the last six months. They have earned the income of the past few years, and they are already very content. What's more, the arrival of the rainy season has also brought new income channels to the villagers, one in and one out. It's not a loss.

The rainy season is coming. It also means that the wild mushroom season in northwest Yunnan begins. The villagers rushed into the jungle and meadows like ants, looking for this spirit of nature.

Hotels, restaurants and second-class dealers from all over southern Yunnan and even outside the province have also poured into northwest Yunnan to buy all kinds of wild mushrooms on the spot.

Southern Yunnan Province is the province with the largest variety and production of wild mushrooms in China. Every year, a huge output value of billions can be formed, and the industrial chain derived from wild mushrooms has also become an important channel for many families to get rich. Especially in the northwest of Yunnan, it is the world's largest producer of matsutake mushrooms, and the number of matsutake mushrooms exported to Japan every year reaches thousands of tons, earning tens of millions of dollars!

For the mountain people who go up to the mountains to collect mushrooms, the wild mushrooms they work hard to collect can only be sold for a meager income, and the expensive wild mushrooms in restaurants in big cities actually have little to do with them.

Taking the most famous wild mushroom matsutake in northwest Yunnan as an example, the purchase price in the production area is only about 1oo-2oo yuan/kg, and the import and export enterprises have packaged and preserved it, and then sent it to Haizhou by air through guò, and then transferred to Japan. At this time, the export price of matsutake mushrooms was basically stable at more than 1oo US dollars/kg. In a year of bumper yields, the purchase prices of major import and export enterprises will be further reduced, compressing the income space of farmers and herdsmen.

Fresh matsutake mushrooms purchased in Yaozhou on the same day can appear in Tokyo's high-grade markets the next morning, with an average retail price of more than RMB 5ooo yuan per kilogram! Sometimes, due to the impact of matsutake production, the price of matsutake mushrooms in the Tokyo market can reach as high as 1oooo yuan per kilogram!

In a sense, matsutake mushrooms are even more profitable than arms, arms, drugs, and smuggling, but these profits are captured by trading companies and retailers.

It is difficult for outsiders to understand the Japanese mania for matsutake mushrooms, the 'king of the mountains' who have a very high status in Japanese life, and the annual matsutake season is a feast.

However, no matter how high the retail price of matsutake mushrooms in the Tokyo market is, for farmers and herders in northwest Yunnan, they have little to do with them, and they can only barely get some cheap income by going into the jungle in the rain every day!

For a long time, the export of matsutake mushrooms has been monopolized by a few import and export enterprises in southern Yunnan Province, and farmers and herdsmen have no other sales channels and can only endure the exploitation of these monopolies.

However, since this year, 'Yip's Trade' from the coastal areas has joined the ranks of buying matsutake mushrooms, which has caused a certain impact on the closed market.

With the emergence of competitors, other companies have raised their purchase prices, which has inadvertently increased the incomes of farmers and herders, and stimulated them to search deeper into the jungle for matsutake mushrooms.

…………

At the beginning, after seeing the hot sales of 'Jinghu Agricultural Products' in Haizhou, Ye Fan had the idea of getting involved in the high-end food market. Originally, he wanted to open a specialty store of 'Xiao Family Farm' in Ludao, but under Xiao Feng's persuasion, he decided to start with the matsutake mushroom export business.

It has been 15 years since the establishment of Ye's Trading, although the scale is not large, but it has a certain business in various countries, and the connections are not bad. Having decided to focus on the Japanese market, Yip's Trading used its various connections to successfully obtain the qualification to export wild mushrooms to Japan, and reached a supply agreement with the Tokyo market.

After completing all the formalities and sales plans, Ye Fan and Xiao Jasmine took the opportunity to return to Ginkgo Village to celebrate Xiao Dapeng's admission to Shuimu University, and began to set up wild mushroom purchase points in Yuji Town and Ginkgo Village.

If it is replaced by other foreign enterprises, if it wants to intervene in the lucrative wild mushroom market in the relatively closed northwest of Yunnan, not to mention anything else, I am afraid that the acquisition point will not be opened.

However, the Xiao family, as one of the big families in Ginkgo Village and even around Yuji Town, naturally has a huge influence, and the son-in-law of the Xiao family is involved in the wild mushroom industry, and no one will speak out against it.

In this way, Ye's trade gained a firm foothold in Yuji Town!

Compared with other companies, Yip's Trading is more focused on the acquisition of matsutake mushrooms, and although it is the first year to set foot in the import and export trade of matsutake mushrooms, with many years of experience in the import and export trade, it has carried out a series of actions in an orderly manner.

Now, the purchase points set up in Yuji Town and Ginkgo Village will clean and keep the image matsutake mushrooms harvested by farmers and herdsmen before 11 a.m., and then pack them into refrigerated trucks and send them to Yaozhou Airport.

Every day at 4 p.m., there will be a flight from Yaozhou to Haizhou, matsutake mushrooms can arrive at Haizhou International Airport at about 7 p.m., and then transfer to a late-night flight to Tokyo, the next morning, these matsutake mushrooms from the depths of the Biluo Snow Mountains can appear in Tokyo's market!

The whole trade process did not take more than 24 hours, and if it were not for Yip's Trading's deep understanding of all aspects of import and export trade, it would not have been possible to do this.

Once the matsutake mushroom cannot be sold within three days, it means that the best time to eat the matsutake has been missed, and it will not be able to sell at a good price!

However, for Ye Fan and Ye's trade, the matsutake mushrooms purchased from farmers and herdsmen are just pediatrics, and the real highlight is in the Xiao family farm or Xiao Feng!

When Ye Fan followed Xiao Feng into the mountain forest in the southwest corner of the farm after a rain, he was stunned by the dense matsutake mushrooms in front of him!

In these mixed forests with a total area of more than 1o square kilometers, except for a few wild mushrooms such as chanterelles, shiitake mushrooms, mushrooms, morels, etc., matsutake mushrooms occupy every corner!

After deciding to set foot in the matsutake market, Ye Fan also spent a lot of effort to understand the biological characteristics, growth environment and artificial cultivation of matsutake mushrooms, knowing that matsutake mushrooms cannot be cultivated on a large scale at present.

It's just that in the forest of the farm, the dense matsutake mushrooms are even higher than the artificial planting density, which completely subverts Ye Fan's cognition. Perhaps, Xiao Feng has mastered the technology of large-scale cultivation of matsutake mushrooms, and this mountain forest will become a cornucopia!

He kept asking Xiao Feng questions, but Xiao Feng smiled and didn't say anything, just asked Ye Fan to collect some samples and send them to Japan for evaluation and appraisal to determine the price!

Since he obtained the 5o year contract right for this mountain forest at the beginning of the year, Xiao Feng has frantically sprinkled a large number of matsutake spores and space spirit springs in the forest, and after months of hard work, it is finally harvest season today.

At the beginning, Xiao Feng was still struggling with which fungus to plant, and he also wanted to grow more expensive truffles, but after thinking about it, matsutake mushrooms with higher yields and larger market capacity were finally selected.

With the cheating device of Space Spirit Spring, the matsutake mushrooms of the Xiao family farm have broken through the bottleneck that cannot be artificially cultivated, and the taste is more delicious than the wild matsutake mushrooms, which can be priced according to the highest standard of wild matsutake mushrooms.

As a large supplier, Xiaojia Farm naturally does not just sell these matsutake mushrooms for cabbage prices like ordinary farmers and herdsmen, but is deeply involved in the entire matsutake trade process to grab more benefits from it.

Under the terms of the agreement reached between Yip's Trading and Japanese retailers, Xiao Feng will receive US$15o per kilogram from the sale of matsutake mushrooms, which is worth about 1ooo yuan at the current exchange rate.

Xiao Feng conservatively estimates that the yield of matsutake mushrooms in this forest is expected to reach 2o tons, which means that matsutake mushrooms that have not invested any cost at all will bring Xiao Feng about 2ooo million benefits!

I have to say that the rainy season not only brought enough precipitation to the snow-capped mountains in northwest Yunnan, but also made Xiao Feng's pocket a little more bulging.

For Xiao Feng, this is a good rainy season!(To be continued......
