451 Sky-shattering contracts

"Whole Foods Market. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Lu Li did not continue to sell Guanzi, and said the final answer, "After thinking about it, I finally signed a contract with Whole Foods Market." They said that they would take care of the logistics, that we would only need to take care of the harvesting and storage, and that their transport team would come directly to the pasture, which would be the best for us. ”

For Yunding Ranch, logistics is undoubtedly the biggest problem, not only because they have no experience, but it is not easy to find a trustworthy partner; Also because of the location of Texas, shipping kale to supermarket branches across North America is a huge expense. Not to mention the wear and tear that can occur during transportation.

Whole Foods Market is worthy of being a top supermarket chain, with deep pockets, and after careful consideration, it took over the logistics work in one go, saving a lot of trouble for Yunding Ranch. Of course, the same is true for Whole Foods Market. Details determine success or failure, and such a link has become a key factor in Lu Li's decision to cooperate with Whole Foods Market.

"Oh!" Everyone exclaimed in exclamation, and Jessica nodded repeatedly, "I knew that Whole Foods still had a little advantage. ”

Adam couldn't wait to stretch his neck, "Does that mean that the purchase price will be slightly lowered?" Originally, the cost of the logistics part was paid by our ranch, but now that Whole Foods has been packaged, they definitely don't want to suffer. There will be gains and losses, and there is no way to do this. "Some analysis, the head is the way.

"No, it's still at the price agreed upon, six dollars and thirty-one cents a pound." Before Lu Li's words fell, he could clearly hear Adam's gasp, and even Cole and the others were full of surprise, with a glint of disbelief in their eyes.

Whole Foods is not a charity, how can it be so generous? Not only did the acquisition be completed at a very high price, but also the logistics business was included? That sounds like a fantasy.

"Because the Wigmans Food Supermarket is willing to pay six dollars and fifty-one cents a pound." Lu Li's simple words once again triggered an exclamation, and even Brandon couldn't help but lose his temper.

Twenty cents a pound may not sound like much, but once the kale harvest at Cloud Top Ranch is finished, multiplied by the final pound, it is a significant one, and the price of Wigmans Food is about $600,000 to $700,000 more than Whole Foods. That's not a small amount, and the logistics don't cost half a million dollars – we're talking about shipping kale for one season, not for the whole year.

It can be seen that the Wigmans Food Supermarket is determined to win.

However, the reason why Lu Li chose Whole Foods Supermarket is very simple, logistics is their shortcoming, and it is not only difficult to operate from scratch; And you have to bear the wear and tear in transit, which is a heavy burden. What's more, Yunding Ranch does not plan to build a business empire, develop comprehensive channels, hire a professional team, these things are not necessary.

Then, instead of this, it is better to sacrifice some of the benefits and package the logistics part to Whole Foods Market, which is more advantageous in the long run.

Everyone began to calculate this account in their hearts, whether it was cost-effective or not.

"In recent times, the price of kale in New York has not been able to come down. When I came back, Whole Foods was still selling $10 a pound, and with such a high price, it was still in short supply, and I thought fitness enthusiasts were crazy. Lu Li joked and said in a mocking tone.

However, this is also a fact, in Lu Li's opinion, there are many fitness programs, and kale is just one of them. Recently, the price of kale has been out of control, so it is completely possible to put it off for a while, find other alternatives, and wait for the price to come back before continuing to eat kale.

Of course, Lu Li is completely unfounded, and for most kale loyalists, money has never been an issue. For a small group of people, it's more of a comparison, and no one wants to be left behind. To some extent, the price of kale is also hyped up in this way.

"Ten dollars? Isn't our price too low? Adam said excitedly, he didn't expect that kale would be sold at such a high price, which is unbelievable for the people of Texas.

Scarlett raised her elbow and gave it to Adam, and said with a look of disgust, "Don't be too greedy. Now is the time to grab this point, and after this time, the price will come down. Even at the current price, this is the biggest deal the ranch has ever made, right? ”

The second half of the sentence was to look at Jessica and ask, Jessica nodded in agreement, "I've never heard of such a big contract, so it seems that Fourteen, honestly, you are indeed a rich second generation, right?" This sentence made everyone laugh, "Last time Randy said, this time the agreement was signed for six dollars, which is a twenty million contract? ”

"The exact number will not be known until after the harvest is completed, but ...... Yes, it's a twenty million deal. Lu Li nodded in affirmation, and then everyone fell into a state of panic, including Tony and Brandon.

Although the horse farm and the vineyard have the potential ability to earn tens of millions of income, but at present, it is only "potential", and the contract of Yunding Farm has been determined in black and white, which also means that Yunding Ranch has really got rid of the business difficulties and entered a new stage of development, all of which is really too beautiful to be true.

It is unimaginable that in just one year, Lu Li's assets have completed a triple jump and directly tripled. When Degas's paintings were auctioned off, it was already incredible; Now, something even more incredible has happened - through his own hands, through hard work, with sweat, time and energy, the fruits sown have blossomed into a sea of luxuriant flowers.

"I know you're all looking forward to a raise, and I promise I'll consider this proposal within ten years." Lu Li's joke made everyone come back to their senses, Tony and Adam clapped their hands and laughed, while Cole and Brandon looked helpless, "The specific situation will be known in two days." I'll be back today, the Whole Foods team will be here later, the harvest will start tomorrow at the latest, and the next few days will be very busy, and I think Randy needs some help. ”

"By the way, what about Randy?" Lu Li only found out at this time that everyone on the ranch had arrived, but Randy was missing, how did the hero who watered the Cloud Summit Farm with his own hands disappear?

Hearing this question, everyone looked at each other, as if they had heard the story of Alibaba and the Forty Thieves, exchanging glances, their expressions were intriguing, and the curvature of the corners of their mouths that seemed to be smiling but not smiling made the atmosphere interesting.

Lu Li smelled that something was wrong, but he couldn't say why, and his right hand, which was rubbing Bucky's hair, couldn't help but stop, "What's wrong?" What happened to Randy? ”

"Randy......" said Tony, with an obscure expression, "You know when you see him." ”

"yes, that's my problem, where is he now?" Lu Li looked left and right, and then through the glass window of the main house, he could see Randy riding by in the distance, he didn't notice the situation in the main house at all, just frowned, babbling and muttering something, and walked all the way forward.

Vaguely, Lu Li noticed something unusual, but he couldn't say why. Immediately after, Adam's voice came from his ear, "Randy is back!" Then everyone turned around in unison, and their eyes stared out the window, their eyes falling on Randy in no particular order, but no one spoke, just stared at Randy like this-

Watch him lead his horse to the side of the warehouse, watch him tie the reins, watch him curse around the warehouse, watch him walk to the stable and then turn back, watch him call Cole's name, watch him stand in confusion, and finally watch him walk back to the main house with a blank face......

"What the hell is going on? Why are the horses tethered outside? What about Brandon? Why is no one working? Did everyone go for afternoon tea? Before Randy could push open the door of the room, a series of shouts had already entered the room, and the first moment he walked into the room, Randy found that everyone's eyes turned around and fell on him, which made him really uncomfortable, and his words were stuck for a while, "Uh......"

Randy was full of question marks, and was about to ask "what's going on", when he saw Lu Li sitting next to him, his mouth wide open, and he made a strange noise, but he couldn't say a word for a long time. But Lu Li was not in a hurry, he just looked at him happily and did not take the initiative to speak, which made Randy like a headless fly, spinning in place, and after hitting the wall several times, his confused brain was a little more sober.

"Fourteen! Fourteen, uh, fourteen! Randy shouted over and over again, Lu Li seemed to taste some of the flavors, and every time Randy shouted, he answered, but did not answer further.

The others sat and watched as if they were watching an absurdist comedy in an experimental theater, and their smiles bloomed, but no one interrupted the "comedy" soundly.

Randy didn't notice those sights at all, and looked at Lu Li intently, finally coming back to his senses, "Fourteen, the contract, how is the contract?" ”

This time, Lu Li didn't continue to tease Randy, and simply nodded, "Everything goes well, we will cooperate with Whole Foods Market, and temporarily sign a one-year cooperation agreement." If the contract is renewed, it will be decided according to the situation of the year. ”

"Whole Foods?" Randy blinked, reconfirmed, and everyone shouted in unison, "Yes!" Randy was startled, but his excitement erupted like a volcano, and he jumped and circled, screaming wolf, "Ah! Ahhh Whole Foods Market! Yes! Jesus Christ, Ah! ”

Randy's shrill roar echoed throughout the room, and the cold winter of melting snow seemed to usher in the first rays of spring/light in an instant.
