Chapter 137: Table Grapes
After the dealers took away half of the wine grape seedlings on the farm, Wang Hai and Liu Biao released the news that the farm provided wine grape seedlings at a low price.
Soon, the farm's wine grape seedling cultivation area was crowded with nearby villagers. Hundreds of thousands of wine grape seedlings were wiped out in less than two days by these villagers who were eager to plant wine grapes.
Wang Hai did not let the vacated place idle, and soon, Liu Biao found a grape seedling provider named Cao Wei. Cao Wei is also from Liuzhuang Town, and he is about the same age as Liu Biao.
According to Liu Biao, the two of them have known each other as early as elementary school, and they are absolute old friends. Compared with Liu Biao, who ran around for all business before, Cao Wei was dedicated to dealing with grapes.
In 94 years, he built the first grape seedling breeding base in Longcheng County in his own land, which can provide a large number of wine grapes and table grape seedlings.
And unlike others, even at the time when wine grapes were at their hottest, he did not adjust the ratio of seedlings between wine grapes and table grapes.
"We farmers, it's easy to get together for anything! Seeing that growing wheat is more profitable than growing sorghum, they all rush to plant wheat. After a few years, I saw that people were more profitable to grow sweet potatoes and ran to plant sweet potatoes, and now I saw that planting wine grapes was more profitable, so I tried to get wine grape seedlings one by one, and I quickly planted them. ”
Cao Wei said this, paused, took a sip of tea from his cup, and continued to express his opinions: "I don't have a long-term plan for anything, I don't dare to take risks, and I only care about immediate interests, this is the idea of a small farmer." ”
"How? My old friend is amazing, isn't he? Let me tell you, people are not like me who is a big boss, they are cultural people! You know? ”
Liu Biao and Yourong looked at Wang Hai with their heads up, and they couldn't help the smile on their faces. The friends I brought are so powerful. Look at it, what the fourth brother said was stunned, he felt too face-saving.
In fact, Wang Haifa was not stunned by Cao Wei's words, but because his eldest son Wang Yong had already discussed them with him, and what he said to his eldest son was not wrong at all.
The eldest son's statement is very similar to his words, Wang Yong said at the time that the current farmers are affected by factors such as education level, living environment, and social environment, and the awareness of small farmers is very serious.
When I saw what people were doing to make money, I immediately swarmed to follow suit. So this happens a lot of the time. When people plant, they make a lot of money, but when they also plant and harvest, they find that they are not as profitable as they imagined.
In tears of sadness, he simply switched back to his original crop or chose something else to plant again.
Wang Hai has experienced this situation many times, and the most unforgettable thing for him is the more than 30 apple trees that still exist in his field.
At that time, it was advocated by the county, saying that the price of fruit was very high, and calling on everyone to grow fruit and increase income. As a result, I haven't waited for my own fruit trees to bear fruit. The prices of various fruits began to fall.
Some "smart people" settle their accounts and seem to have not made money by planting sweet potatoes, so they simply cut all the fruit trees that have grown for three or four years and are about to bear fruit.
"Look at it, I guess this wine grape has been popular for three or four years at most. When the time comes, these people. Especially our farmers who have shaved their own table grapes have to be replanted! ”
Liu Biao sat next to him, shaking his head when he heard it, he didn't understand what the truth was here, what the law was. But he knew that what Cao Wei said was right.
Wang Hai is different, the eldest son has already explained the law to him. He knows that this is the law of the market, and it is the market that regulates supply and demand.
Something is missing. The price will naturally rise, and when everyone swarms into the industry, there are more things, and the price will naturally fall and fall, in the final analysis, it is not easy to be a farmer!
"Alas! After all, it's not easy to be a farmer! The harvest is good, the price must have dropped, the production has been reduced, the price has been high, but the money made is not much. ”
Wang Hai's words made Cao Wei immediately feel impressed by him, he felt that he was at least smarter than Wang Hai and could see it clearly, but after listening to Wang Hai's words, he understood that in this world, no successful person was obtained by luck.
"That's right! We farmers do not have any channels to obtain market information, and our response is always slow or even two or three beats, and in the end we always have to suffer. Cao Wei shook his head and regained his spirits.
"However, I think the cooperative you came up with is very suitable for the villagers, this idea is so good! At least it can effectively reduce everyone's risk considerably. ”
Wang Hai listened to Cao Wei's words and a smile appeared on his face.
"This idea was given to me by my son, and it has nothing to do with me."
Cao Wei had heard this kind of statement before, so he was not surprised by Wang Hai's words. But Wang Yong's curiosity about the little God of Wealth was aggravated.
It's just a pity that I heard that he went to his grandmother in the capital, and this time I didn't have the opportunity to meet this amazing boy.
"This change to table grapes was also proposed by that kid, and this kid's head doesn't know how it grows, but he thinks more than others, and he can always go ahead of others."
Liu Biao's words made Cao Wei nod in agreement, the development process of Wangjiazhuang, especially Wang Hai, is a good proof of this, no matter what you do, you must be one step ahead of others, and you can always get the greatest benefits.
Also as a businessman from the countryside, he clearly knows that it is not easy to do this.
"By the way, what kind of grapes are you going to grow?" I suggest you plant Rose and Kyoho grapes, one of which is delicious, the most popular in the market, and the price is high. Another kind of giant peak is that the yield is high, the taste is good, and the income is also quite good. ”
According to his own understanding, Cao Wei's suggestion was not accepted by Wang Hai and Liu Biao, which made him feel very surprised. However, after hearing Liu Biao explain Wang Yong's plan to him, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up in his heart and admire.
This little prodigy is worthy of his name, and people see it far away! However, this matter is only capable of their family, and ordinary farmers do not have the financial resources to support such a plan.
"Of course, these two should be planted. But other varieties are also missing. My eldest nephew specially called to explain that in the future, we are going to have a picking garden in that place, that is, to let the family go to the field to pick grapes by themselves, and when they come out, we have given the following name at the door. ”
Without waiting for Liu Biao to say any more, Cao Wei was keenly aware of the doorway here, and couldn't help but get up and praise loudly.
"It's good business! For those who have lived in the city since childhood, there is certainly no small temptation! And you can also make a little gimmick, and the price can be raised! ”
Wang Hai's eyes lit up, and only then did he really pay attention to Cao Weilai. Being able to think of this. At least he's better than himself. At the beginning, after his son explained all the Taoism to himself, he figured out why the grapes he picked by himself were more expensive than those sold in the market.
In this atmosphere of mutual admiration and respect, the more the three of them chatted, the hotter they became, and soon they became like old friends who had known each other for many years.
"What kind of breed do you have? Let me tell you, Wang Yong's kid called me last night to explain, saying that there are fewer varieties that are not attractive to others, and that I must find at least one or twenty varieties. ”
Liu Biao interjected with some concern, after all, he is not as professional in grape cultivation as Cao Wei. He had no idea how many varieties there were. There are only two or three kinds of grapes that it has touched, seen, and eaten in the market and in life.
The oldest locally grown rose scent. Then there is the Kyoho and the last one is an early-maturing variety called Kyoya that has only begun to increase in recent years.
"Hehe, don't worry, I only have thirteen varieties of table grapes there. But I can go to the Pomology Institute and help you find all the table grape varieties you can find here that are suitable for our cultivation. ”
"Really?" Liu Biao didn't believe it at first, but he soon gave up this idea, knowing that his old friend was not a man of false promises. Right now. He became interested in exactly how many grape varieties there were.
"Tell us, how many kinds of grapes are there?"
"How many are there? Hehe, I just said I couldn't finish it for half a day! Let's just say that there are more than 200 grape varieties that are grown in large quantities in the world today! ”
"Huh? No way? ”
"So much?"
Cao Wei was not surprised at all by Liu Biao and Wang Hai's surprise, he was not a person in this line of work, and it was normal not to know the doorway inside. In fact, if he hadn't been lucky enough to meet an old professor who specialized in grapes, he wouldn't have known so much about grapes, even if he had been in this business for a long time.
"It's not much, if you add those that have been eliminated, and there are some wild ones and new varieties that are still being cultivated in research institutes, this number will at least increase dozens of times. It is said that there are more than 8,000 grape varieties in the world, and there are about 700 in China, and of course there are not only table grapes, but also wild grapes, wine grapes and the like. ”
"Then tell me quickly, what varieties are there, and which variety is the best?" Liu Biao, who likes to eat grapes very much, couldn't wait to ask.
"Let's put it this way, grape cultivation has been around for thousands of years. It is generally believed that grapes originated in West Asia and were introduced to our country during the Han Dynasty. However, recent archaeological studies have found that this statement is incorrect, because China may also be one of the origins of grapes. ”
"Hurry up and get to the point, don't talk about it." Liu Biao glared at Cao Wei very dissatisfied, waiting with curiosity for Cao Wei to tell him what varieties of grapes he had.
"You!" Cao Wei shook his head helplessly, "Okay, let's talk about early-maturing grapes first, which are common in China: Victoria, Juxuan, Xiangfei, Heibao, June Purple, Xia Hei, Jingya, Jingxiu, Jingyu, Superstar, Honey, Fengbao, Phoenix Fifty-One, American Super Seedless, Bixiang Seedless, Jing Zaojing and so on. ”
"So much?"
"Well, there are probably dozens of them! But it's not very common, and the only ones I have are June Purple, American Super Nuclear, Victoria, Kyoya and Summer Black. ”
"Which is the sweetest?"
"I feel the same, after all, it's an early maturing variety, nothing too sweet, but it tastes good. If it wasn't delicious, it would have been eliminated a long time ago, and I wouldn't have been able to bring it in. (To be continued......)
