In the first half of the year, Yunding Ranch reached a cooperation with H-E-B Supermarket, of which kale can be called a thousand gold. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 The purchase price of two dollars and eighty-one cents per pound is even more expensive than the pork foreleg, which makes a lot of money for Cloud Top Ranch, which also becomes the opportunity for Lu Li and Randy to decide to grow kale in large quantities.

There is no doubt that kale is the new upstart in the market right now, and the price remains high. At the beginning, the Clouds Ranch had not yet been certified organic, and the price was relatively low, but despite this, the price of two dollars and eighty-one cents still easily killed most goods. As you can imagine, the price of kale is only as high as it is certified organic.

Now, Whole Foods is willing to buy out all the kale at 1.5 times the market price, and it is even more expensive to pay for it after it has been certified organic?

Such a bombshell blew up the head and made people dry and dry. Lu Li cast a glance at Randy, who was just a bystander, but his mood was still extremely excited, constantly asking about the progress with his eyes, and his eager appearance made Lu Li laugh dumbly, and his excitement calmed down a little.

It's unusual that top crocodiles like Whole Foods often have the upper hand, but now they're willing to give up their interests. Is it because there is something special about the kale in the pasture? Lu Li is confident enough in the space spring water, and he believes that the test results of the kale will bring surprises, but Whole Foods has not yet tested it, how do they know?

Putting these doubts aside for a moment, Lu Li sorted out his thoughts for a moment, and then continued, "One point and five times, why do I smell the smell of conspiracy." The teasing tone eased the atmosphere a little with a light chuckle, "What is the basic standard of market price? Texas or New York?"

"Hehe, of course it's the low one. Graham also saw the opportunity, making a joke at the right time to ease the atmosphere before he said again, "The purchase price of kale in New York has reached seven dollars and thirty-seven cents a pound, but obviously we can't do it all at that price." ”

The advantage of a large supermarket chain is that it has a wide range of outlets, and the disadvantage is that the purchase price is uniform. For example, if kale might buy five dollars a pound in New York, but only three dollars a pound in Texas, then the purchase price of Whole Foods is naturally not as standard as New York, and they are businessmen, not charity.

Correspondingly, Fresh Supermarket, Wigmans Food Supermarket and H-E-B Supermarket are all the same, they are regional supermarkets, and the purchase price within the region is relatively stable. Vegetables like kale, which are popular on the East Coast, are naturally priced higher at the Wigmans Food Supermarket.

Of course, as a seller's market, Yunding Ranch is still qualified to shout prices and repay the money on the ground. Especially considering the out-of-stock crisis that the East Coast is facing right now.

Previously, the "New York Times" reported that during the Christmas period, the highest sales price of kale broke through double digits, and the price of a pound was as high as twelve dollars, which is simply appalling, and what is even more terrifying is that even if the price is so outrageous, it is still sold out and in short supply. For the main consumer groups of kale, this price is still within an acceptable range.

It's hard to imagine that a vegetable can sell for a whopping twelve dollars a pound. But it's happening.

After Christmas, the sales price dropped slightly back to single digits, but the purchase price was still at an incredibly high price of $7 and 37 cents. Kale is one of the hottest healthy foods at the moment, and in the short term, there is still no sign of fever.

"Whole Foods is willing to buy out this batch of kale from Cloud Top Ranch for six dollars and thirty-one cents. Of course, this is limited to this shipment in January. After that, we also need to follow the season and the market. Graham's words were extremely clear, obviously he had already made a draft before this phone call, and he was even more confident at this time, he believed that Lu Li would definitely be able to feel the sincerity of Whole Foods Market.

Lu Li really felt it. On a normal basis, the purchase price of organic kale fluctuates between $3.64 cents and $4.27 cents, and on the East and West Coasts, prices are slightly higher, but limited.

At 1.5 times the price, it should be about six dollars, but now, the price of Whole Foods still exceeds this figure, obviously taking into account the factors of this weather storm, showing absolute sincerity.

If the deal could be signed at such a price, it would be a deal of about $25 million based on the amount of kale produced at Cloud Top Ranch.

Although this was a special transaction at a special time and under special circumstances, the final transaction price far exceeded the usual level, and it was only one time, but once the contract was signed, it would be 25 million US dollars! You must know that the original auction price of Lu Li's "Entrance to the Costume Dancer" was only 12 million US dollars, but now, the income of kale has more than doubled.

Of course, this price has not deducted operating costs, taxes, transportation expenses, etc., and the actual number that goes into the pocket is certainly not so high, but it is still too fantastic, 25 million, which is definitely an unimaginable sky-high agreement for any ranch in Texas.

Overnight, Lu Li will become a real multi-millionaire!

Although Lu Li had foreseen such a result when he decided to plant kale, when it really happened, there was still no sense of reality, and the series of numbers was dazzling, as if it had lost its original meaning, and that sense of unreality brought a powerful impact!

It is conceivable that in the future, the organic farm will become the absolute trump card project of Cloud Top Ranch, and it is unknown whether the horse farm and vineyard will be able to catch up.

"Of course, the premise is that the farm can be certified and tested. Graham added, his relaxed tone enlivening the mood again.

Lu Li was stunned, and then chuckled. Randy, who was sitting next to him, caught Lu Li's expression, and quickly patted Lu Li's shoulder, and couldn't help but ask excitedly, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Lu Li paused, but he didn't know how to express it, the corners of his mouth just raised slightly, and then nodded vigorously, expressing the turbulent emotions in his heart with such a simple but intense action.

Randy immediately caught the information, his eyes widened, and he said in disbelief, "It's done?" Lu Li just smiled brightly, without affirmation or denial, but Randy couldn't wait to scream, he had to cover his mouth, stand up, and quickly step on his feet, as if he was pedaling a bicycle, expressing his mood at the moment with every movement of his body.

Cole just walked in at this point and saw Randy like a flea, so he asked Lu Li, "What's wrong with him?

Lu Li shrugged his shoulders and didn't speak, but Randy couldn't bear it anymore, stepped on his tiptoes, and turned to Cole, but he was so excited that he couldn't say a word, just kept jumping, and then circled around Cole's body. With his mouth wide open, but no screaming sound, it's hilarious.

Seeing Randy's funny performance, Lu Li laughed dumbly, and his boiling thoughts cooled down a little. Even so, Lu Li couldn't help but take two deep breaths to calm himself down, and asked, "What happened in the past few days of the holiday?

The 25 million deal agreement, Lu Li didn't think Graham was joking, let alone that Graham would be compassionate and charitable. Behind the call, there must have been something he didn't know, "I know our kale is excellent, maybe even the best in the whole of North America." But, until I get the certification results, I don't think it's worth the risk. ”

If Whole Foods does all the testing, it makes sense. But apparently, all testing has not yet begun.

Graham shook his head helplessly, Lu Li was really a difficult guy, and he had a deep understanding from the last visit. For others, who have long been carried away by joy, how can they calm down and continue to bargain? Graham believes that this deal cannot be refused by anyone.

But obviously, Lu Li is an exception. Graham would have felt a sense of accomplishment if he saw Randy dancing with excitement.

However, Graham decided to take the Yangmou route today, so he didn't panic at all and gave a direct answer, "Michael." After a pause, Graham continued, "Michael is like a fanatical religious person, a church about fitness, about nutrition. But Graham still had reservations and did not tell Lu Li about Michael's test results, otherwise he would have further lost his advantage in the negotiations.

Lu Li suddenly accepted his jaw, and in this way, this makes sense.

Honestly, Whole Foods offered a price he couldn't refuse. Even for the other two supermarkets, that's probably the case. The 25 million agreement is enough to make everyone's heart move. What's more, Cloud Top Ranch is just a small ranch that is just starting out, and they need this agreement, and they need to open up a breakthrough to lay the foundation for the future development of the ranch, which will officially open after the Lunar New Year.

"I'm sure Michael will give a perfect report. Lu Li also made a joke.
