Chapter 13: Getting Bigger and Bigger (Asking for Support)
In the next few days, Yang Zhou found an intermediary and registered a company called Green Energy Ecological Biotechnology.
Originally, it was planned to be called Green Energy Biology, but the company's name was registered by a company that sells protein powder in Shencheng, and at the suggestion of the intermediary, Yang Zhou added an ecology to it.
Yang Zhou, who has always had difficulty in naming names, really couldn't think of any good names, so he simply used this Green Energy Ecological Biotechnology Co., Ltd., and the intermediary said that it would be registered in about a week.
Yang Zhou has begun to contact Douyin and opened an advertising account, which can accurately promote short videos.
The minimum 1,000 written in the advertisement can be promoted, but the pre-deposit fee will be greater than 5,000 yuan, and Yang Zhou spent almost all the money before he set up a promotion account.
In fact, Yang Zhou was also a little apprehensive in his heart, if this promotion failed, he could only find vegetable wholesalers to sell the vegetables in the mysterious space at a low price to return the funds.
Although his own vegetables have not yet been grown, Yang Zhou is also ready to carry out the first round of promotion, anyway, there is a relationship with Deng Yun, and now he sells vegetables from Qiankou Village, and he will deliver them first and then settle the bill at the end of the month.
Deng Yun also opened a Douyin account under the guidance of Yang Zhou, and his name was [Deng Yun, head of Qiankou Village, Qingbei University]
The first video is also being filmed, and the content is that countless vegetables are rotting in the ground, and the wholesaler comes to collect the vegetables, and the carrots are 2 cents a pound, and a large cart is pulled away.
Yang Zhou even suggested that Deng Yun find a few aunts in the village, or poor households in the village, to shoot some plots.
That night, Yang Zhou saw that Deng Yun's account had posted a short video, which was even better than he imagined.
Only then did he remember that Deng Yun, the media major he studied back then, was also the propaganda minister of the student union, and after understanding Yang Zhou's thoughts, he completely grasped the essence of it.
I saw that Deng Yun had tears in his eyes in the video, and kept bowing and apologizing to the poor households in the village, admitting that he should not have encouraged everyone to take out loans to build greenhouses, and the poor households were also orphans and widows, and both parties were in tears.
The final picture is the vegetables rotting in the ground, and the wholesaler 2 cents takes away the vegetables with a retail price of 2 yuan.
"I am Deng Yun, the head of Qiankou Village, I just graduated from Qingbei University last year, and then I was assigned to Qiankou Village as a civil servant, I wanted to take farmers to make a fortune, but because I didn't understand the agricultural product industry, I hurt 656 people in the village! Let's see, what a good vegetable, but it can't be sold! ”
"The wholesaler is not a person, the retail sale is 2 yuan, the purchase price is only 2 cents, the villagers in order to build a greenhouse, every household owes tens of thousands of debts, the cost price is more than 4 cents, I beg you to help! As long as you leave the address in the comment area, I will personally deliver it to your door, whether it is 10 catties or 20 catties, I will sell it at a price of 8 cents! I pay for the shipping out of my own pocket! ”
Deng Yun can be regarded as open-minded, completely shameless, Yang Zhou admired, this kind of person is really the material for officials, and his face is really thick.
The video was released for more than ten minutes, and it was played 0, but it didn't spread at all, and Yang Zhou's phone rang.
"Brother Yang, how is it, this video has a gimmick, right? Qingbei University graduated as a village official, and made mistakes as soon as he came, causing heavy losses to the villagers. Deng Yun said with a hearty smile.
"You're really hard enough, aren't you afraid of your superiors punishing you?" Yang Zhou asked.
"What are you afraid of, didn't you say that you gave me a cover? Anyway, a lot of vegetables do rot in the greenhouse, we transport them to the county to sell, it is estimated that it is less than 1 yuan, and it can't sell much in a day, it is better to wait for the wholesaler to come to buy, in fact, the price given by the wholesaler is also 4, 5 cents. ”
"We will ship it out for retail by ourselves and count the freight at a loss, but you are in order to empty the land contract, and it will not be a loss to sell the things in the field with some freight, hurry up and promote it, I am waiting for you to ship the goods." Deng Yun said with a smile.
Yang Zhou was speechless for a moment, and his feeling was that Deng Yun knew that he had his back, so he promised to deliver 5 catties and 10 catties to the door.
"Brother Yang, you will contract the land in the future, and you will have a nutrient solution to accelerate growth, anyway, you have to open up the sales market, this time it will be a rehearsal, I am waiting for you to promote it, many people in the village are watching, you hurry up." Finally, Deng Yun urged again.
Yang Zhou asked: "Then how much cost price do you give me, I want to calculate how much I will lose this time." ”
"This, you still give 5 cents to buy the price, other wholesalers are about the same price, everyone knows that you want to contract the land, are willing to sell it to you, now the profit is still 3 cents, and you will not lose money if you operate well." Deng Yun thought for a while and said.
Soon Deng Yun made a count of all the unsalable vegetables in Qiankou Village, a total of 3,300 acres of land, about 500 acres of greenhouses, planting a variety of things, covering almost all common vegetables.
The land that is not a greenhouse is close to 2,600 acres, and the remaining land is planted with fruit trees, some are transformed into fish ponds, and there are roads that occupy an area, and the actual cultivated land is only about 3,100 acres.
The greenhouse is planted with carrots, with a yield of about 4,000 catties per mu, and Chinese cabbage is about the same, and it is expected to produce a total of 2,000 tons of agricultural products in the past two months.
Because of the promise to sell 8 cents a catty, the profit of this part is 600,000, of course, if Yang Zhou can sell it at a retail price of about 2 yuan, the profit will be at least 3 million.
The 2,600 acres are planted with summer radish, which ripen at the end of July or even early August.
This part of the output is as high as 10,000-15,000 tons, and the purchase price is 7.5 million.
With so many goods, it's hard to digest.
After all, the original market was fixed, for example, the number of wholesalers in the capital in previous years and this season was determined, and Qiankou Village planted countless vegetables because of Deng Yun's relationship, which naturally led to a price collapse.
In previous years, there were no greenhouses, all the crops were wheat and rice, and the price was relatively stable.
For example, wheat is planted in the north, with a yield of about 1,100 catties per mu, but the purchase price of the grain station is very stable, basically at 0.87-0.88 yuan per catty.
10,000 tons of wheat is easy to sell, and 10,000 tons of radish is really hard to sell.
Yang Zhou is only now feeling the pressure, he originally planned to only sell four or five tons of carrots in the mysterious space, but now it has become tens of thousands of tons.
It is only with the help of the Internet that it is possible to sell so many goods.
Yang Zhou didn't know if Douyin's promotion fee was enough, he could only give it a try, and now the plans of Yanbei North Hotel are not very reliable, and he must rely on netizens all over the country to solve the problem.
In other words, you need to sell vegetables offline and sell them online, whether it is radish or cabbage, you can store them for many days, and online delivery is no problem.
It is better to cooperate with the courier company, if a package only charges one or two dollars, you have to earn.
Yang Zhou is not worried about the promotion problem, because Qingbei college students and village officials sell vegetables, as long as there are hundreds of thousands of broadcasts, there should be many people who buy vegetables by express.
That is, the cost must be well calculated, in addition to express delivery, but also to make some packaging boxes, in addition to cleaning and packaging, you also need to invite villagers.
Originally, I just wanted to make a lot of money to do chemotherapy, and then do scientific research and write papers, but unknowingly got involved in business.
Yang Zhou feels that the most important thing at present is to recruit a professional manager and take care of all this.
