What a bolt from the blue!
Wang Cuihua and Qi's mother almost fainted from anger.
Why are you so unlucky?
Just because you didn’t learn composting from the village chief, you missed such a good opportunity?
The others ignored their disappointment and regret and happily followed the village cadres to announce the good news to the five winning households one by one.
Anyway, these two companies missed more than just this opportunity.
Last year, these two families took the lead in picking up tourist groups and didn't sign up. Later, when I saw other families making money, didn't I regret it?
What Wang Cuihua and Qi’s mother will regret even more is yet to come!
As the bidding results were announced, the prices of the cherries supplied to the Tourism Expo by the five shortlisted households in Qianjin Village were different.
Among them, the grafted jade agate from Xu Yin's family has the highest price - 90 yuan/500g; the black pearl is 80 yuan/500g.
Xu Yin said that this is already a friendly price, and it doesn't matter how good the quality of her cherries are. They are large, thin-skinned, crisp, tender and sweet, and burst with juice when you take a bite. Not to mention domestically, if you take it to compete with the big cherry countries like Chile, you don’t have to worry about losing.
Let her make her own quotation, and she will definitely fill in the unit price of more than 100 yuan.
However, Xu's father and Xu's mother were scared to death. Eighty or ninety yuan a pound? Oh, be good! How could it be so expensive?
In previous years, the purchase price of big cherries was quite good if it could reach 20 yuan per catty, and the market retail price was also around 50 or 60 yuan. If it costs over a hundred, it must be imported high-end goods.
Xu Yin: Although my product is not imported, it can definitely compare with the high-end imported products.
But her parents obviously couldn't accept such a high price, and were worried that they would be rejected even if they applied for it.
Although the Bureau of Culture and Tourism purchases it and the government pays for it, with such a high price, no matter how good the product is, who would want it? Who dares to ask for it?
Anyway, the price has been lowered.
Even though the unit price was 80/90 yuan, the couple still felt it was expensive and were always worried that this time the bidding would be unsuccessful.
The couple's jaws almost dislocated when they heard from the large group of people who came to announce the news that they were in the running.
"Did our cherry pick? We chose both?"
"right!"
"Uncle Mingkang, why are you so surprised! Your cherries this year are the best ones in our village. If your family doesn't choose, we will be in trouble!"
"That's right."
"Mingkang, how much do your cherries cost per pound? Are they thirty or forty?"
Father Xu: "..."
Suddenly I didn't dare to speak.
Thirty or forty, then double or triple it.
At this time, the village chief came back from the town happily.
Not only did I bring the winning bid documents, but also the pre-purchase contracts for five households. The Bureau of Culture and Tourism has stamped them. The quantity and price are filled in according to the data on the bidding application form. Just sign here and the contract will take effect. .
The people who didn't win the bid were filled with envy when they saw these five companies getting the contracts.
"Uncle Village Chief, your family set a price of 30 and still chose it? It seems that your cherries are growing well this year!"
"There are five sons in the village chief's family. They work a lot and take care of them very carefully!"
"Hey! Come and see Mingkang's price! Am I dazzled?"
"What happened?"
"Shit! Uncle Mingkang, is this the price of your house? Is it so high?"
Everyone rushed forward curiously and were shocked when they saw the pricing on the contract.
I'll be a good boy!
It was sold to the government for hundreds of yuan per pound, and it also won the bid. What does this mean?
If you are good at arithmetic, you have already calculated it in your mind: the average price of two kinds of cherries is 85 yuan per catty, and 2,400 catties is just over 200,000 yuan.
hiss!
The Mingkang family is going to get rich!
"Mingkang, can you leave me a pound of your cherries? One pound each of black pearls and jade agate! Just buy them at this price!" someone gritted his teeth.
Everyone looked at the speaker: "Why did you buy it? Isn't your house also a big cherry?"
"I'll buy it and study it!"
He wanted to try what kind of cherries could be sold at such a high price.
Their big cherries look pretty good. They were priced at 20 yuan/500g but they didn’t win the bid. However, Xu Mingkang’s sold at such an outrageous price, but they won the bid. What’s the difference?
"It seems that Yinyin's grafting level is very high!"
"Yin Yin, when you are free in the second half of the year, do you think it would be okay to graft my aunt's big cherries? The price is up to you!"
"That's right! Uncle Mingkang's family still had small cherries last year. Yinyin grafted the big cherries himself, and they sold well in the first year!"
Now, everyone is rushing to find Xu Yin to make an appointment for grafting.
Xu Yin didn't have the idea that "if I grafted my cherries for you, they wouldn't be unique."
On the contrary, she hopes that everyone who grows cherries in the village can grow the same high-quality cherries as hers.
How many people can a cherry orchard in a village sell to, no matter how high its output is? Maybe they'll be sold out before even going out to Wen County.
So she is not worried about sales at all. On the contrary, she is worried that the supply of her cherries will exceed the demand after the tourism expo opens up the market for her cherries.
She really guessed it right.
During the Tourism Expo, domestic and foreign tourists spoke highly of the fruits at the venue. Among them, the two types of cherries that received the best response were the black pearl and the jade agate. Both VIPs and ordinary tourists were full of praise. .
On the closing ceremony of the Tourism Expo, Xu Yin’s family had just delivered the last 400 kilograms of cherries to the truck they were picking up. The leaders of the Culture and Tourism Bureau and the executives and technicians of Green Heng Biology accompanied a VIP group from the capital to the front. village.
The village chief received them, and after chatting for a while, he led them to Xu Yin's house.
"Mingkang, there are a few comrades from the capital who have to go back after attending the closing ceremony in the afternoon. I want to buy some of your cherries before leaving."
The village chief said, winking at Xu's father, "Those who can be accompanied by the leaders of the Culture and Tourism Bureau are not ordinary people, so they must be treated well!"
Father Xu said in embarrassment: "How much do they want to buy? They just picked 400 kilograms today. If you buy too many at once, you may not be able to pick them out."
It's not that he doesn't want to entertain, it's just that they are out of stock.
One of the young men, tall and handsome, smiled warmly at Father Xu:
"Uncle, can we go and see for ourselves? Don't worry, we won't destroy it. This is my business card! I screened the first line of the bidding application form. For the two cherries you bid on, I remember using homemade ones. Ecological fertilizer.”
Xu's father subconsciously took the business card and glanced at it: Green Heng Biology - Zhang Huaijin.
The same last name as his wife.
Coupled with the fact that the other party was good-looking and polite, Xu's father felt good about him and said with a smile: "Of course, I will send you a basket and you can eat while you pick. Don't worry, my cherries are not treated with any medicine or fertilizer. I piled the odorless organic fertilizer myself, and the air in the garden is so clean that I can eat it without washing it.”
After saying that, he shouted upstairs: "Yin Yin! Yin Yin! There are guests at home! Take them to the garden to pick some cherries."
Xu Yin sent away the person who brought the cherries and went upstairs to take a shower. Just after she got out of the bathroom, she received a call from Chen Jiao, saying that she had read the news about the tourism expo and was so hungry for her cherries and asked when she could come. Pick once.
"Starting tomorrow, you can come anytime you want."
"Then tomorrow, I'll bring my parents and my brother together for a family day trip."
"OK."
As soon as I hung up the phone, I remembered Father Xu's loud voice.
Xu Yin changed out of her pajamas, put on a T-shirt and sweatpants that were suitable for hiking, and put her hair in a bun. She went downstairs to take her guests to the cherry orchard.
