18.5 yuan a catty, this price is okay.

There are less than 20 days left before the Chinese New Year, and Cao Shujie is thinking about selling his cattle and concentrating on other things.

I still have to prepare New Year's goods, and there are poor households in the village to visit and condole.

Years ago, I had to go to my father-in-law's house and my uncle's house.

There are not many relatives in the first place, and Cao Shujie cherishes it even more.

told his wife, who knew that Cheng Xiaolin told him: "Shujie, my mother called me and said that she sold all the five big cows in the family, guess how much it was sold in total?" ”

Cao Shujie pondered for a moment, stretched out two fingers, and crossed them into a cross shape: "Is there 100,000?" ”

Cheng Xiaolin pursed her lips and glanced at him obliquely, feeling very bored: "You guessed quite accurately, my mother said that it was sold for a total of 96,400 yuan, a difference of 3,600 and less than 100,000 yuan." ”

"Shujie, my dad and my mom are both very happy, and my mom said that there are still 90,000 saved."

Speaking of excitement, Cheng Xiaolin couldn't hide the secret in her mouth, and continued to tell him: "My mother also said that when we go for the New Year, she will return the 30,000 yuan to us." ”

Cao Shujie didn't think about it, and asked his wife: "What 30,000 yuan?" ”

"It's the 20,000 yuan that my dad bought for cattle, plus the 10,000 yuan you left behind when you sent my mother back after returning from Xinjiang last time, which is exactly 30,000." Cheng Xiaolin explained to him.

"Oh, you said that money, ouch, oh my God, I forgot." Cao Shujie waved his hand: "Wife, hurry up and call our mother and let them keep the flowers for themselves." ”

Cao Shujie didn't expect that the old couple would still remember this incident.

But Cheng Xiaolin shook her head: "Shujie, it's not that you don't know my mother's temper, she will definitely give you this money." ”

Hearing his wife say this, Cao Shujie remembered his mother-in-law's stubborn temper and didn't say anything else.

"Wife, I'm thinking that we will sell 135 cows this year, and the rest will be slaughtered, and we will keep it for meat, what do you think?" Cao Shujie asked his wife.

Cheng Xiaolin has no objection to this.

Selling one more head doesn't earn more than 20,000 yuan, which is really nothing for Cao Shujie.

Cheng Xiaolin also said: "Kill one, it's okay to keep it for yourself, relatives at home will give it away, and these will work for our family, which can also be used as welfare, and everyone will share a little bit to taste." ”

"Yes!" Cao Shujie nodded, that's what he thought about.

On the twelfth day of the lunar month, less than half a month before the Spring Festival, Wang Leigang and the four of them came to pull cattle.

It took a whole day of hard work for all 135 cows to be weighed.

The gross weight is 194049 catties, and according to the price they said before, it is 18.5 yuan a catty, totaling 3,589,906.5 yuan.

That's a lot of money for anyone.

The moment he received the money, Cao Shujie was impressed by the three people other than Wang Leigang, but he didn't expect them to be deeply hidden.

They took away 135 big cows, and when Wang Lei just saw that Cao Shujie still had one big cow left, he also asked Cao Shujie, if he didn't sell it all together, why did he keep it?

Then I heard Cao Shujie say: "It's not about to be the New Year, keep it and kill yourself to eat." ”

The four of them were convinced.

They buy it back to be processed in various ways, and then sold it at a higher price, or sell beef gift boxes.

But Cao Shujie, a person who specially keeps a cow of more than 20,000 yuan to eat for himself, is the real ruthless character.

After finishing this matter, Cao Shujie also called Cui Jingguo and learned that he couldn't get together the more than 200 calves a year ago, and Cao Shujie was not reluctant, just let him get together and send them over directly after the New Year.

When he was about to hang up the phone, Cao Shujie finally said that the more the merrier.

After selling the cattle, he went back to town to dispose of the last batch of apples.

At this time, other things had nothing to do with him, and he didn't bother to deal with them.

With the approach of the Spring Festival, the traffic support given by the Taobao platform in 2012 is also increasing, and they are now feeling a little too busy for these 54 people.

"Shujie, you have to find someone to come over, otherwise you won't be busy." Cheng Xiaolin said to her husband.

Cao Shujie also knows that manpower is very tight now, and the daily delivery volume has been continuously expanding, and there are more elderly people and women on his side.

Xinjiang Changji no longer ships here, Cao Shujie only needs to worry about selling the current inventory and sending it out.

In the afternoon of the same day, he went to the town and found 10 people to work temporarily, with a salary of 80 yuan a day.

When the time entered the fifteenth day of the lunar month, Cao Shujie didn't even return home, and lived directly in the factory warehouse.

He also signed a supply contract with a fast-food restaurant in town.

The steamed buns, fried buns, fried dough sticks, and egg soup they make are preferentially supplied to Cao Shujie, and they have three meals a day, morning, noon and evening, to ensure that the people who work have no worries about eating.

If you don't do this, the sales volume in the store is very large, and Cao Shujie must find a way to save every minute.

That's it, working until the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, Cao Shujie looked at the apple inventory that was basically empty, and breathed a sigh of relief.

The result was better than he expected.

But Cao Shujie knew. This efficiency improvement is largely due to the drainage of the Taobao platform in the later stage.

Seeing that the inventory is decreasing, Cao Shujie has also put an inventory limit in the store on the Taobao platform.

has to do this, when the inventory is really sold out, and customers continue to place orders, where will he go to get apples?

On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, more than 60 people watched the last box of apples be loaded and sent out, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Especially for Cao Shuju and the first 24 people, this wave of making money is really a matter of asking for money and not dying.

Song Huixia, who joined later, and Cao Shulin, after continuous high-intensity work, everyone felt physically and mentally exhausted.

At this time, they didn't think about how much money they earned or how much bonus they could get during the New Year, they just wanted to have a good meal and sleep well.

Wait for the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month to catch the last big set and prepare for the New Year.

During this time, I have been busy earning money, and the family's New Year's goods have not yet been prepared.

"Big guy clean up the warehouse first, and the boss will hold a meeting for us later." Cao Shuju shouted at everyone.

As soon as he finished speaking, more than 60 people at the scene went to work together.

Among these people is Cao Huifang, who has not rested for a day since she came back from the ninth day of the lunar month, and has been working for 17 days.

This physical strength is the first time she has experienced it in her life, and to put it mildly, she really doesn't want to do it a second time.

But when she saw that everyone was going to clean, she was embarrassed to watch there, and she also took a broom and went to work.

Cao Shujie returned to the small office in the workshop warehouse, sat on a chair, looked at the report compiled by his wife, and couldn't calm down for a long time.

He listened to Liu Furong's suggestion at the time, and when he first started doing this, he didn't expect to get it on such a large scale as it is now.

At that time, he thought that he would be done by selling the more than 800 tons of apples purchased from Adilijiang.

But no one expected that the video taken by the two of them would attract so much traffic to their fruit shop.

As a last resort, Adilijiang asked Adilijiang to help them contact 2,118 tons of apples from Xinjiang Changji, but who knows that it is still not enough to sell.

From the beginning of November to now, in less than three months, Cao Shujie has sold a total of 5,371 tons of apples through online sales, distribution of goods by secondary distributors, bulk procurement of benefits by enterprises and institutions, and other business methods.

The total sales revenue was 55.8287 million yuan.

The total cost of purchasing these apples is 25.9411 million yuan.

Cao Shujie looked at the remaining gross profit margin of nearly 30 million yuan after removing procurement costs, labor costs, packing costs and other expenses.

However, this is not the final profit, and the shipping fee, courier fee and tax payment have not been removed.

Even so, Cao Shujie estimated that the profit he could leave was more than 20 million.

"My good guy earns nearly 10 million a month." Cao Shujie has a thought now, he still wants to ask Liu Furong again, what else can he do.

"Huh? I have to send some fruit to Lao Liu. Cao Shujie thought.

"In addition, the money from the bank should be repaid." Cao Shujie thought to himself.

I have an account on my body, and I always feel uncomfortable during the New Year.

But he called Ma Changrong and just told Ma Changrong that he wanted to repay all the loans.

Ma Changrong directly told him that the bank was on holiday and wanted to repay the loan, so let's talk about it after the year.

"So reassuring me?" Cao Shujie was also speechless and didn't know what to say.

Since Ma Changrong is not in a hurry to ask for it, Cao Shujie is not in a hurry to give it to him, and he will talk about it after the next year.

was thinking about meeting Liu Furong later and inviting him to a meal, when his wife came in: "Shujie, everyone is busy, aren't you going to have a meeting?" ”

Cao Shujie nodded: "I'll go over now." ”

When he came out of the small office, there were 63 people in total, already waiting in line.

Seeing Cao Shujie coming, the big guys quieted down, looking at Cao Shujie one by one, not knowing what he wanted to say.

"Are you tired?" Cao Shujie asked.

This opening line was something that no one expected.

But because of this sentence, the atmosphere at the scene eased.

The mood of the big guys became relaxed, and some people shouted: "Tired! ”

The others didn't speak.

But Cao Shujie responded and said: "Yes, don't say that you are tired, I am also tired, tired to death." ”

"But I'm really grateful to everyone here, for your dedication over the past two months, without you, we wouldn't have been able to create this miracle." Cao Shujie said.

"I know it's superfluous to say anything else now." Cao Shujie said: "I announce that we will all go to Fuxing Hotel at noon tomorrow to have a celebration banquet. ”

Seeing that someone wanted to refuse, Cao Shujie said directly: "It's okay to refuse, but don't want the year-end bonus." ”

Hearing Cao Shujie say this, everyone present giggled.

"In addition to the year-end bonus, we will also give you a New Year's benefit tomorrow."

"There are three days left before the Spring Festival, and on this special day, I also wish everyone a good New Year in advance." Cao Shujie finished speaking neatly.

When the others heard it, some people asked, "Boss Cao, will we still sell apples next year?" ”

"Not necessarily next year, I'll have to see when the time comes." Cao Shujie said.

As soon as he finished speaking, many people present suddenly panicked.

They are accustomed to working here from Cao Shujie, working from morning to night, and receiving salaries and performance bonuses at the end of each month.

It's really tiring, but the work is very fulfilling, especially when I get paid, and I feel very steady.

Cao Shujie's side suddenly became uncertain, which made everyone feel bottomless.

Even the joy of going to the celebration banquet tomorrow and getting the year-end bonus and holiday benefits is gone.

Even Cao Shuju, Song Huixia, and Cao Shulin, the people of Caojiazhuang, were a little panicked.

It's not easy to find a place in the countryside where you can make money stably.

Even Cao Shujie didn't expect that after he said that, the atmosphere on the scene immediately changed.

But he is also very accomplished in his heart.

Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming more and more depressing, he said, "You have to give me some time to contact the fruit growers to buy fruits, right?" ”

After speaking, Cao Shujie pointed to the empty factory workshop warehouse and said: "You have lost all the apples, if I don't buy fruits, will we sell air next year?" ”

"Also, we don't necessarily have to sell apples next year, and we may also sell other fruits, can't we?"

Hearing Cao Shujie say this, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

Some people are so emotionally surging that tears even fall from the corners of their eyes.

At this time, they realized that one of their hearts was completely pinned on this factory, which may not seem good to the outside to the outside.

Because here is their hope.

"Okay, I won't say anything else, let's go to the Fuxing Hotel in the town to eat two bites together, and we'll hold a celebration banquet tomorrow." Cao Shujie finally said.

Cao Shujie said to eat two bites casually, but the price of the package he asked for was not low, the standard of 380 yuan per table was already comparable to the wedding banquet that others ordered when they got married, and I can't imagine what else to eat at tomorrow's celebration banquet?

When Cao Shujie returned home at night, he didn't think about anything, and fell asleep in bed after taking a shower.

On the morning of the second day, he took Daha, Erha, Dahei, and Xiaohei for a walk, and then came to the orchard on the mountain.

As soon as I came up, I saw Cao Shuchao cleaning.

"Shujie, you're done over there." Cao Shuchao asked.

"Well, I just finished yesterday, Brother Chao, it's okay here." Cao Shujie asked.

Cao Shuchao shook his head: "Don't worry, there's nothing going on here." ”

"Brother Chao, a few of you should also clean up, lock the door at noon today, and go to the Fuxing Hotel in the town for dinner." Cao Shujie told him.

Cao Shuchao asked him, "What kind of food are you eating?" ”

"Isn't this the end of the year? Let's get together. ”

"In addition, I will give you a year-end bonus and New Year's benefits." That's what Cao Shujie said.

Hearing him say this, Cao Shuchao didn't say anything else, he understood that he just listened to the arrangement at this time.

However, Cao Shuchao is also curious about how many year-end bonuses can be given during the Chinese New Year this year.

"It's a little more than last year's year-end bonus?" Cao Shuchao thought to himself.

Last year, 1,000 yuan was distributed for the Chinese New Year.

What about this year?
