Chapter Seventy-Eight: Hot Sales
,
Zhang Heng didn't expect that Song Jiao would open the first flagship store specializing in sea dragon fruit in Times Square in New York.
The total investment of the first flag store is up to 3 million US dollars!
"Loser!" Zhang Heng looked at Song Jiao's investment report, grinning secretly, spending three million US dollars to rent a house and sell fruits? How much dragon fruit does Nima have to sell to earn it back?
But it doesn't matter, forget it, just let her toss it casually!
Zhang Heng bought a lot of dragon fruit seeds from the game space and the 'Baihuacao' seed store, so that the area of the Zhangjiadao dragon fruit orchard continued to increase, and now the number of dragon fruit trees has exceeded 1,000. But the newly planted dragon fruit trees don't know if they will bear fruit this year.
Thousands of seeds from the sea dragon fruit tree didn't give Zhang Heng a single 'green' level seed! made Zhang Heng feel a little regretful.
"Reese, this shop seems to have never been seen before, it's so special, those three seem to be Chinese characters, do you know them?"
"Of course, you must know that my Chinese is very good, these three words seem to pronounce 'deaf pot', let's go, Sheila, let's go in and shop, is this a jewelry store?"
An American couple shopping, holding hands, walked into the flagship store of sea dragon fruit.
"Welcome! It must be the first time for you to visit the 'Dragon Fruit' store, and today we have a special giveaway, and every customer who visits the Dragon Fruit store can receive a free 'Dragon Fruit Package' worth 18 US dollars. If you need to pick it up, please go to counter 3 over there to pick it up! ”
The so-called free 'dragon fruit package' is actually a small plate, a few small pieces of dragon fruit pulp, and a glass of sea dragon juice.
In the flagship store of sea dragon fruit, the tables, plates, plates and cups are all specially made by Song Jiao. The plate is transparent, but the table is luminous, and through the light, the pulp of the dragon fruit is cut into various shapes by the mold, as if it were a gemstone carved by the artist's hand.
It is so beautiful that many customers can't bear to eat it.
"Wow, it's delicious, uh, it's just a little too sweet!" After the free tasting, customers couldn't help but comment on the dragon fruit.
The taste is good, delicious, sweet and slightly salty, so that after eating, people will feel addicted.
"What kind of fruit is this, and will eating too much be bad for your health?" After tasting it, a customer couldn't help but ask. She assured that the fruit she ate today was definitely something she had never tasted before.
"This lady, you just tasted our main fruit, 'sea dragon fruit'. It has a somewhat sweet taste, but the sugar content itself is not very high. In addition, there are a variety of vitamins and amino acid nutrients needed by the human body in dragon fruit, long-term use can not only make your skin better, play a role in beauty and skin care, but also greatly improve your physical fitness, enhance your body's immunity. ”
"Is this 'sea dragon fruit' as amazing as you say? If it's really like what you introduced, then wouldn't it become a divine fruit? ”
"Hehe, what this gentleman said is right, sea dragon fruit is indeed a miracle fruit, and experts point out that it can also prevent and inhibit the growth of cancer cells."
"How can we believe that what you say is not a lie?"
"There are quality inspection reports from the U.S. Security Agency and many world-renowned inspection agencies. Sir, you can doubt my words, but you won't doubt the quality inspection reports of these quality inspection agencies, right? The clerk explained with a smile.
A miracle fruit that effectively suppresses cancer cells?
A news reporter moved the flagship store of dragon fruit and dragon fruit to the newspaper, along with the quality inspection reports issued by many well-known institutions in the world.
"Is there really such a miracle fruit in the world?"
"Fruit that grows in the sea!"
"New species - sea dragon fruit!"
The New York Times, the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, Time Magazine and many other well-known newspapers have followed up on this 'magic fruit'!
"Oh my God, I can't believe that these quality inspection reports are all true, this fruit called 'sea dragon fruit' is really so amazing."
With these newspapers, the name of 'sea dragon fruit' has also become popular in the United States. Many wealthy people come to Times Square to try this sea dragon fruit, which is known as the "greatest fruit of the new century".
"Is there a whole sea dragon fruit here, please? I mean, the kind that doesn't cut, before processing. A rich man stood in front of the sales desk and asked the service staff inside.
"Yes, but the price of the whole dragon fruit is $1888 per kilogram, are you sure you want to buy it?" The dragon fruit clerk asked with a smile.
"Of course!" Isn't it a few thousand dollars for the rich, and they can afford to spend this money. But what he didn't expect was that the sea dragon fruit would grow so big!
"Okay!" The beautiful sea dragon fruit clerk smiled, took out a relatively 'small' sea dragon fruit from the backstage, and weighed it on the electronic scale.
"This gentleman, this sea dragon fruit weighs 19.7 kilograms, and the price: 37193.6 US dollars. Do you want to buy it? ”
"What?" The customer's eyes widened, oh, buy a fruit, it's worth more than 37,000 dollars, I really don't know if the owner of this fruit shop has a bad brain, or what. "No, of course not!" The customer turned around and was about to leave without saying a word, and he felt that although he was not short of money, he still felt too luxurious to spend tens of thousands of dollars on a fruit. Before leaving, he muttered: "People who have water in their brains will buy it!" ”
But before he finished speaking, a middle-aged man hurriedly walked over, pointed to the sea dragon fruit that had just been weighed and asked, "Excuse me, does anyone want this sea dragon fruit?" ”
"Not yet, sir, do you want it?" The sea dragon fruit beauty clerk asked with a smile.
"Yes! Also, can I buy a few more? The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief and said.
The beautiful clerk shook her head lightly and pointed to the sign hanging next to her. It is clearly written that each person is limited to one purchase, and the purchase is limited to one per day!
"What a pity!" The middle-aged man sighed, but he was also very lucky to be able to buy a sea dragon fruit, like this whole sea dragon fruit, this store only sells thirty pieces a day. For two days, he didn't grab it, and if he couldn't buy it today, maybe he should be fired by the boss, because the boss and his wife have cancer and urgently need to eat this miraculous fruit.
The sea dragon fruit is on fire, and the sea dragon fruit group has also sailed all the way with the popularity of the sea dragon fruit. In less than half a month, countries all over the world rushed to report the miracle of 'sea dragon fruit'.
A month later, even though the price was as high as $1,888 per kilogram, the whole sea dragon fruit was still in short supply. During this time, Song Jiao successively opened ten 'dragon fruit franchise stores' in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Hollywood and other places in the United States.
It's not that she doesn't want to open more, it's that the dragon fruit orchard in Zhangjiadao can't supply so many dragon fruits to sell to franchise stores.
In just one month, the sales of the dragon fruit franchise store exceeded 40 million US dollars. This is also due to the lack of supply.
Zhang Heng looked at the various reports on the Hydro Dragon Fruit Group in the newspaper and sighed, he obviously underestimated the powerful influence of 'Hydro Dragon'. In just one month, the value of the brand 'sea dragon fruit' has risen to 300 million US dollars.
"Boss, the sea dragon orchard is too small, we should expand it again." Song Jiao had a smug smile on her face. Now dragon fruit has become synonymous with the most 'luxurious' of fruits.
In addition to the whole dragon fruit, the fruit plates in the specialty store are also quite popular, each fruit plate is only a few dollars, although only a few small pieces, but it is enough for ordinary people to taste the taste of the magic fruit of 'sea dragon fruit'.
Of course, there are many people who also scold the Dragon Fruit Group for being a big profiteer, but it is just an 'ordinary' fruit, how can it be sold at such a high price.
The New York Times remembered that when interviewing the beautiful chairman of the dragon fruit group, he once asked, 'Is the cost of dragon fruit really that high?' Can it also become an affordable fruit that ordinary people can buy? ’
Song Jiao said with regret that she couldn't, at least not for the time being. But maybe in a few years. After all, there are too few sea dragon trees in the sea dragon orchard on Zhangjia Island now, too little, too little. Moreover, now the sea dragon tree is the first time to bear fruit, which belongs to the semi-growth period, and only one-tenth of the yield of the mature sea dragon tree.
Maybe in three years, the price of dragon fruit should decrease a little as the production increases! But at least not now.
