Chapter 181: The curtain opens
Cooperating with Sima Fei to sell hemp walnuts and old ginseng seems to be a means to win over Sima Fei on the surface, but in fact, it also contains a sound thinking from Li Chen.
The reason why I say this can be traced back to his experience of selling hemp walnuts in an antique market in North = Beijing before he went to the United States = China.
This experience left a deep impression on him, although the price of walnuts was ideal, and he did not suffer a loss, but the process let him know that there are too many doorways in this market, and the value of many things is not necessarily determined by the item itself, and many of them are hyped up by some "specialists = families" and "big = teachers".
Here, the goodness of things is only the foundation, and how much can be sold in the end is calculated by those so-called "capable people".
And those big = teachers, capable people, in addition to the experience of thousands of tempers, but also have a mutually recognized network, to put it bluntly, a newcomer, even if you can speak, if you are not recognized by the people in this "circle", it is in vain!
And if you want to be recognized by everyone, it takes some effort, talent, hard work, opportunities and other factors.
Li Chen thinks he doesn't have that ability. I don't have the time and energy.
But in the future, he will continue to come up with a lot of treasures, such as hemp walnuts, old ginseng, etc., these things are not like fruits or vegetables to win in large quantities, but less but fine strategy, so it is inevitable to often involve this circle.
So how do you get the most value? How to make the most profits?
It was precisely after weighing these that Li Chen would take the initiative to entrust this matter to Sima Fei.
After all, Sima Fei is an expert in this area, and he is in this circle. must know the rules better than himself, and he has more connections, so he will be his own "bag of salt". As long as the operation is good, not only will you not suffer, but you will also get more.
Originally, he wanted to give the other party a profit of 30%, but who expected that Sima Fei was also a "real person", and he only needed 10%.
One achievement, one success.
Li Chen knew that he was using this kind of performance to make himself understand his respect for himself, and his agreement was also a kind of respect for him.
That's a mouthful. In fact, the meaning is self-evident, Li Chen and Sima Fei are both smart people, and they naturally have a tacit understanding in their hearts.
Of course. Although Li Chen revealed some secrets to Sima Fei, he didn't reveal any of the key secrets related to the book from the ground. That's his bottom line. No one!
Sima Fei was placed, and the first step of Li Chen's new plan was basically deployed.
Next. It is necessary to concentrate on promoting the fruit strategy.
At present, the dates are ripe. It may be the reason for the first year, although this jujube tree is full of fruit and the branches are also bent, Li Chen can see that this tree is far from reaching the prime of fruit.
According to his estimates, if the book from the ground is nourished and the pool of water is continuous, there will be two more years at most, that is, the third year. Eighty percent is the most lush time for fruit to bear, when the yield is at that time. Eighty percent is at least ten times more than now.
But even so, the current hundred or so jujube trees, Li Chen visually inspected, the few had to bear more than 2,000 jujubes each, and the more ones had four or five thousand, and each jujube was round and full, although it was only slightly larger than ordinary jujubes, but it was almost full, there was nothing bad or defective, and it seemed to be carved out of a mold.
Therefore, all the fruits of these jujube trees, Li Chen estimated, if each tree is calculated at 20 grams and each tree is conservatively calculated according to 3,000 jujubes, the hundred or so trees will have to produce at least 12,000 catties of jujubes.
However, although the texture and quantity of jujubes are okay, their medicinal properties make Li Chen a little depressed.
Because he had taken a few of them and asked Pan Rui to do experiments, and it turned out that the medicinal properties were only one-third of the original jujube. Although it is still much stronger than ordinary jujubes, it can only be regarded as unsatisfactory.
This couldn't help but make Li Chen very depressed for a while.
Although there are factors such as the new fruit period and the fact that they are not fully ripe for the time being, Li Chen intuitively knows that I am afraid that these dates cultivated later cannot be compared with the dates in his book space.
Regarding this, after Li Chen was depressed, he also knew that this was probably unexpected and reasonable. After all, if a spiritual object is so easy to spread out, I am afraid it will not be called a spiritual object.
By extension, the same is true for those pears.
However, after figuring out the key, Li Chen quickly adjusted his mood, after all, he still had space spiritual objects as a base, and he didn't want to use all of them for medicinal purposes, but mainly for sale to the public on the market.
In this case, with the current texture, it should be effortless to sell these fruits for their ideal value!
Thinking of this, Li Chen's depressed mood suddenly dissipated.
Instead, I started thinking about sales.
In fact, as early as the Chinese New Year, Li Chen took the opportunity to go with those fruit merchant friends and greeted them in advance, saying that he had more varieties of fruits to sell in the future, so Li Chen simply invited them again one day.
And these people obviously didn't expect Li Chen's jujube tree to grow like this in just one year, and they were all surprised.
But what was even more surprising was after seeing the actual dates.
After seeing this full, round, most importantly, excellent texture and taste, these people all stretched out their thumbs and once again expressed their admiration for Li Chen.
Because they all believe that the texture of this jujube is only stronger than some famous bezoars such as new = Xinjiang jujube, mountain = west = Jiao = Chengjun jujube, Yi = Wu jujube, new = Zheng jujube, etc., and according to the appearance, size and consistency, it is slightly better than them.
Li Chen was naturally very convinced by the words of these experts and elites, but Li Chen invited them not to listen to praise, but to let them evaluate and cooperate.
And after these merchants saw the dates, they really showed a strong interest in cooperation. However, when it comes to valuation, everyone is very cautious. After all, although this jujube is good, it is also inferior to those famous bezoars, fame and yield, as well as some in-depth management and processing.
Therefore, their initial quotation was also relatively conservative, and they only assessed the price at half of the average market price of the same type of jujube, and even so, it could be sold for about 80 yuan per catty.
Li Chen didn't say much about this, he knew the character of these merchants, although it was not the first time to cooperate, but this jujube sales was the first time, so there was a certain margin.
And seeing Li Chen so refreshing, these merchants also know Li Chen's temperament, bold, informal, and enough friends, so they also promise that as long as the dates sell well, the price will definitely go up.
However, they also made suggestions, after all, Li Chen is the first year, or to take a long-term view, to play popularity and word of mouth, in addition, it is also suggested that he quickly find the jujube to the relevant departments to make nutritional identification, get the relevant certificate, and then expand the publicity, and then continue to expand the scale of planting, introduce more talents who know how to manage, and it is best to carry out deep processing of jujubes, after all, fresh jujubes are not easy to preserve, and most of the market is mainly dried jujubes, and if you want to make dried jujubes, Li Chen must also introduce relevant equipment and talents, and other matters need to be carefully considered, and they are also planned for the year after tomorrow and beyond.
The fact that these mercenary businessmen can talk about this shows that Li Chen is a good person, and they all regard Li Chen as a friend.
Li Chen was greatly moved and benefited a lot, so he naturally accepted them all happily, and signed a preliminary order agreement with them very happily.
At noon, Li Chen personally made them a mountain meal, and it was not the first time that these people had eaten the food made by Li Chen, but every time they ate it, they couldn't help but praise it, because what he made was really delicious.
Through the wine and dinner, Li Chen told them some of his future plans, and he could be regarded as giving them a small answer.
For example, these pears are about to ripen, and depending on the texture and color, they are definitely not bad, so let you have a psychological preparation first.
In addition, even after autumn and winter, the sale of strawberries will begin soon, and watermelons and ornamental oranges will be on the market as well.
Coupled with the usual vegetable sales, Li Chenshan Farm will be busy at least until next spring.
If these words are said by other growers, maybe these merchants will not necessarily pay attention to it, and they will run on their other things to really grow!
But for this Li Chen, who has repeatedly surprised them since last winter, they don't have any contempt, on the contrary, they think seriously about everything he says.
Li Chen looked at the contemplative merchants, although his face was very calm, but he still had some apprehension in his heart.
But in any case, his grand agricultural plan is about to officially sound the clarion call for a large-scale offensive from now on! (To be continued......)
