Chapter 1460 (Chapter 14) Prices plummet
In eight or nine years, Meilin's funds and energy were on the ginseng market, coupled with the opposition of her mother-in-law, she didn't plant too much ginseng this year, only about 100 zhang.
However, there was a lot of harvest this year, and in the 200 zhang ginseng soil in 86 years, 180 zhang were planted with ginseng, and the rest were sprinkled with ginseng seeds.
This 180 zhang ginseng grows well, and the yield is not low, a total of more than 5,000 catties of fresh ginseng, and it can be sold for more than 100,000 after processing.
The money in my hand is basically invested in the ginseng market, so naturally there is not much money to catch goods, but fortunately, there is still the production of ginseng.
In addition, this time the southern customers came over, and several people directly signed a contract with Meilin, and asked Meilin to catch the goods here as required.
The other party is very generous, and directly calls the funds for the receipt, and Meilin helps to catch the goods and send them directly, making the difference from the middle, and earning a lot.
So although Meilin failed to catch the goods and sell them in the south this time, she was not idle at home.
Selling ginseng at home, helping others buy it, plus the income from the market, it is not bad.
The popularity of the ginseng market has changed Meilin's concept again, and she no longer only counts on catching goods to sell in the south, but begins to take the road of deep processing and finishing.
In the 90s, Mei Lin built a ginseng factory in Wanliang, specializing in processing all kinds of ginseng products.
In addition to processing fresh ginseng produced in our own fields, we also purchase fresh ginseng from the market and process it ourselves, and sometimes we also process it externally.
Meilin has a large number of customers in her hands, and has mastered the most advanced and complete processing and production processes, and all kinds of ginseng products produced by her processing plant are directly sold abroad, and the profits are not low.
The ginseng market and the processing plant, these two items are enough for Meilin to be busy, and she really can't take care of it.
At the suggestion of her mother-in-law, Mei Lin could only give up ginseng cultivation and devote herself to processing and sales.
She continues to find customers, not only selling ginseng to foreign customers, but also cooperating with many well-known domestic pharmaceutical companies to supply directly to each other.
The widening of sales channels represents an increase in benefits, and at the same time, Meilin can no longer accomplish so many things alone.
In 91, Meilin established Jiamei Ginseng Trading Company, which is mainly engaged in ginseng products, deer products, and various medicinal materials in Northeast China such as gastrodia and fritillary.
It is a qualitative leap to set up a company and transform from a single person to a team working together.
However, no matter what happens in this world, it will not be smooth sailing, and there will always be twists and turns.
The glory of the Fusong people over the years has overwhelmed the minds of some people.
At the ginseng festival in '92, some leaders did something stupid and even brought foreign businessmen who came to participate in the ginseng festival directly to visit the ginseng field.
When those merchants saw the scene of ginseng farmers in the ginseng field, they were all angry.
They thought that the ginseng had grown in the ground and had been pulled out of the soil like a turnip, but it had been sold to them for such a high price.
These people don't understand the bitterness and hardship behind ginseng production, they only believe that this is a deception.
As a result, the merchants left angrily and stopped buying or reduced the purchase of ginseng, and the price of ginseng plummeted, falling to a lower price than it had been before '85.
"Mom, what do you think you should do? Now the price of ginseng is simply low, lower than before the price increase, how can ginseng farmers live like this? ”
Merlin was frowning all day long, not knowing how this crisis would pass.
"Our family is fortunate to listen to your words, and we planted a hundred zhang that year, so the loss is lighter.
If this is still the same as before, 81,100 zhang at once, it is estimated that I will have the heart to hit the wall at this time. ”
Merlin sighed, not knowing what to do next.
"What are you worried about? Since last year, our family has not planted ginseng, and now it is just about purchasing and processing.
This is that the tide rises, the price outside is high, the price you charge is high, the price outside is low, and the purchase price on your side is also low.
Although profit margins will shrink, the problem is not too serious.
If you listen to me, from now on, you will catch the goods normally, stock up as much as you can, and store them in my cold storage if you do.
At present, this market will definitely not keep going down, sooner or later when there is a rise, take advantage of the low price to stock up on the goods, wait for the price to be high and then release it, there is nothing to worry about. ”
Compared with Mei Lin's anxious fire room, Qiao Lian was very calm, not only was she not in a hurry at all, but she also took out two million and entrusted Mei Lin to help her buy ginseng.
"Mom, aren't you kidding?
Now that the ginseng is at this price, you can't sell it, so you want to take two million and smash it in it? What if you really lose money? ”
Mei Lin looked at the two million checks given by her mother-in-law, and was frightened, and she didn't understand which hand her mother-in-law was playing?
Two million, just throw it in, aren't you afraid that you won't even be able to make a splash?
"Look at your little guts, where is this?
I have all the money in hand in the factory, and I don't have so much liquidity, so if I have money, I will charge more.
We have to use ginseng for so many medicines in our pharmaceutical factory, why don't you stock up on a batch of more while the price is low, and wait for the price to rise, and I will spend more money?
You can rest assured, this situation will not go on forever, you believe me, if you have money, grab the goods and stock up. ”
At the end of the nineties, Qiaolian bought the Fusong Pharmaceutical Factory.
Qiaolian has so many good prescriptions in her hands, and those medicines that were not owned by the factory before had no chance to come out no matter how good they were, but now the pharmaceutical factory is its own, and Qiaolian has developed several flagship products.
And these medicines, ginseng accounts for the main part of the raw materials, Qiaolian was originally worried, the price of ginseng is too high, the cost of drugs is too high, and the profit is low.
Now that the price of ginseng has fallen so hard, of course she has to take the opportunity to buy a large number of them, and now hoarding more is equivalent to making more money, so a fool will not do it.
Meilin has always trusted her mother-in-law, and since her mother-in-law said so, of course she should believe it.
So I put my heart in my stomach, took the check given by my mother-in-law, and led the people in the company to buy ginseng in the market as much as possible according to my mother-in-law's instructions.
This year, the ginseng farmers were hit very hard, and many people were faced with the situation that their goods could not be sold.
The main reason is that the scale of ginseng planting has developed too fast in the past few years, and many people have planted a lot, but now the price has fallen, and no one cares about the processed ginseng, and the ginseng farmers are in a hurry.
They don't have much money in their hands, and the whole family's life depends on the ginseng in their hands.
Three years of blood and sweat are in it, if this can't be sold, I don't know how to spend the next few days.
So when the people from Meilin's company came forward to buy it, many ginseng farmers didn't care about the low price, and just wanted to exchange the ginseng in their hands for money.
Of course, there are also some ginseng farmers who have a thick foundation, and when they see the price of ginseng, they really can't bear to sell it at a low price, and would rather save it and keep it.
However, there are very few such people, and most of them still can't wait to take them out.
