Chapter 0010 - Discussion of Contracting the Whole Apple Orchard

Hearing his son say that he would contract someone else's orchard, Wang Xiangzhong waved his hand again and again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"No, no, no, contract someone else's orchard? Then others don't take your dad for a fool? We can't sell the apples grown in our 30 acres of apple orchards, and then we have to contract other people's apple orchards, isn't it nothing to do? ”

Wang Xiangzhong apparently disagreed with his son's proposal.

"I think my son had a good idea." Wu Xiufen said thoughtfully.

Wang Zheng and Wang Xiangzhong were both surprised and looked at Wu Xiufen.

Wang Zheng thought: Mom's vision is good, not to mention anything else, the land under Wujiayuzi Mountain occupied more than 20 acres when the highway was built in 02, and the compensation per mu of land was 80,000, and the income of this item was 16.7 million.

And how much is this income invested? The orchard contracted by Wang Zheng's family was a contract signed with the same villager in 1988, and the contract time was 30 years, and the contract fee for 30 years per mu of land was 200 yuan. And in 1991, not to mention the contract fee of 200 yuan per acre of land, no one was willing to contract, even if you contracted an acre of apple orchard for 150 yuan, people would say that you were a fool. An investment of 200 yuan in 11 years becomes 80,000 yuan, which is difficult for Buffett to achieve.

It is precisely because apple growers are not making money now that there is an opportunity for Wang Zheng to subcontract the apple orchards of the remaining nine apple growers. Otherwise, how could someone else obediently subcontract their apple orchards to themselves?

The remaining 270 acres of apple orchards were subcontracted, and a total of 50,000 yuan could not be spent. Fifty or sixty thousand quick money to contract 300 acres of land, and there is also a contract, the service life is 30 years, and the contract will not expire until 2018, which seems to be a super bargain in the eyes of future generations.

Of course, Wang Zheng didn't want his father to miss this opportunity.

In addition, the apple market in 1991 was very bad, and a large number of fruit farmers cut down apple trees and planted crops, so that in 1992, apple production plummeted, causing the purchase price of apples to rise from one or two cents in '91 to more than one dollar. By 1992, Apple's sales were absolutely nothing to worry about.

Wang Zheng remembers this very clearly, in 1992, the Wang family, who insisted on planting apples, suddenly became the first batch of 10,000 households in the village.

By 1992, the output of the 300-acre apple orchard could reach 600,000 catties, and the sales revenue would be at least 600,000 yuan. Therefore, convincing my dad to contract all the apple orchards is definitely profitable.

Wang Xiangzhong was surprised that his wife would agree with his son's idea, he originally thought that his wife would definitely not think like this.

"One of you is a woman, and the other is a first-grade child, I don't know what to think about? You, cook well at home and take good care of the children, you, study hard for me, get me a certificate for the New Year, and don't worry about anything else. ”

"Master, you listen to me. I don't think the price of this apple will always be so cheap, and if the price goes up next year, we will definitely make money. ”

After listening to his mother's analysis, Wang Zheng couldn't help but secretly give his mother a thumbs up.

"Dad, contract all the apple orchards in our village, and you will definitely not suffer."

"Well, since you two have to encourage me to do this risky thing, I'll settle the account for you. If all the apple orchards are contracted, the contract fee will be at least 50,000 yuan, and if the apple market is good next year, it will be good to say, if it is not good, our family will bear a debt of 50,000 yuan, and I am afraid that we will not be able to turn over in this life. ”

Wang Xiangzhong paused, and then said: "This is only one of them, and second, if our family really contracts the 300 acres of apple orchards, next year just pointing at me and your mother will definitely not be busy, and we will definitely have to hire workers, at least ten laborers, and the annual salary of one laborer will be calculated as 2,500 yuan, so we will have to come up with another 25,000 yuan." In this way, we will have to pay 75,000 yuan next year before we can dare to say that we will contract all the apple orchards. Besides, next year's market situation is still two talks, I don't think our family can take this risk. ”

This is the truth, in 1991, for the Wang family, it was a fantasy to want to raise 75,000 yuan.

"And the most important point, as I said just now, if the market is bad next year, all the apples will rot in the ground, and it will be difficult for our family to turn over in the future."

However, Wang Zheng had already thought of a solution to this problem, but because there were many friends in front of him, he did not say it explicitly, but said to his father: "The current money is indeed a problem, but I have a way." ”

After speaking, he looked at his little friend who was sitting on the small bench at home watching TV. Wang Xiangzhong and Wu Xiufen saw their son's scruples, so they stopped discussing this issue.

After a while, after Wang Zheng's friends went home to sleep, Wang Xiangzhong asked while smoking a dry cigarette: "Zheng'er, you didn't finish your words just now, and my father asked you how to solve the problem of contracting fees?" ”

"Dad, how much money can our family come up with now?"

"Your mother and I have saved 5,000 yuan by frugality, and we plan to rebuild our house into five big tiled houses in the spring of next year."

Wang Zheng counted with his fingers, nodded with great certainty and said, "This money is enough." ”

"What are you reckoning? It costs 50,000 yuan to contract the 300 acres of land alone, how can the 5,000 yuan be enough? ”

"Our family has contracted 30 acres of apple orchards, and the rest is only 270 acres. According to the contract we signed at the beginning, the total contract fee is 54,000 yuan. This is calculated according to the contract period of 30 years, if we contract on an annual basis, the annual contract fee is only 1,800 yuan, and our money is more than enough. ”

After listening to his son's words, Wang Xiangzhong's train of thought seemed to have been opened.

"That's an idea, but will the contractors be willing?"

"1,800 yuan is a bit small, and now the annual income of apple growers from the apple orchard is 2,000 yuan, so we have to give them a little more, we give 500 yuan to a household, and let them take 500 yuan for nothing if they don't do anything, can they not want to?"

"Then they must be willing, but what about the wages of the hired workers?"

One household is five hundred, and nine households are four thousand five hundred yuan, so all the savings of the Wang family are about to be spent.

"It's easy to say, our current wages are settled at the end of the year, and by that time we have sold all the apples, and we are still worried about not having money to pay wages to our workers?" Wang Zheng looked confident.

"This problem has also been solved...... Also, what about sales? Selling is a big problem. What if the market is bad and you can't cover the wages of the hired workers? ”

"Dad, let me ask you, according to this year's purchase price, sell all our apples, how much can our family exchange?"

Wang Xiangzhong calculated and said, "At most, 1,500 yuan." ”

"What if it was at last year's price?"

"Last year's price was high, if there was last year's price, our apple orchard could earn at least 5,000 yuan."

"You calculate, Dad, if next year's apple price can be the same as last year's, then the entire apple orchard can be sold for at least 50,000 yuan, and if we go to 25,000 wages and contract fees, our family can earn at least 20,000 yuan."

Listening to Wang Zheng's calculations, Wang Xiangzhong and Wu Xiufen were a little moved.
