Chapter 667 668【A catastrophe is imminent】
"Mr. Chen, don't be in a hurry to thank me. Actually, I also have something very urgent. I want to trouble you." Xiang Nan said.
"Please tell me if you have anything to say." Chen Jinshan nodded.
"It's like this. The year before last, my orchard had a bumper harvest and the net profit exceeded 200,000 yuan. After the county, city, and province knew about it, they set me up as a model and called on the people of the whole province to learn from me.
So, from the year before last, the whole province vigorously promoted fruit planting. It was originally a good thing, but this year, tens of thousands of mu of fruit will be concentrated on the market, and within half a month, at least 30,000 tons of fruit will be produced.
With the consumption power of several nearby counties and cities, it is impossible to digest it at all. If measures are not taken in time, I am afraid that the price of fruit will drop to an extremely low price at that time, and ordinary people will not only not make money, but will suffer huge losses. "Xiang Nan explained.
Chen Jinshan and Ma Defu were shocked when they heard this.
"Brother Yongfu, are you telling the truth?" Ma Defu asked in surprise.
"I won't talk nonsense. In fact, you should be able to see that Yuquanying alone has planted more than 6,000 acres of fruit trees in the past two years, which is more than 15 times that of two years ago." Xiang Nan said, "I At that time, I also put forward three suggestions to them. They should pay attention to guiding and instructing fruit farmers to plant; they should open up markets and contact foreign fruit merchants to avoid hurting farmers with low fruit prices; they should introduce deep-processing enterprises to increase the added value of products.
But at that time, they did not pay attention to it.
Last year, I saw that they hadn't acted yet, so I went to the county, city, and province to remind them again and again. But they don't have this awareness, and they still refuse to listen.
So since last year, I have built my own cold storage, winery, canning factory, and fruit vinegar factory, but my digestion ability is still limited.
That’s tens of thousands of tons of fruit. I can only digest one-third at most, leaving two-thirds. If I can’t find a market in time, it will just rot in the ground.
After excluding the costs of seedlings, fertilizers, irrigation, pesticides, and labor, the fruit growers not only do not make money, but the loss per mu may reach 300 yuan.
As a result, our Yuquan Camp alone suffered a loss of 1.8 million. "
"..." Chen Jinshan and Ma Defu both showed serious expressions.
If what Xiang Nan said is true, then this matter is really serious.
The total assets of the 4,000 households in Yuquanying may not be in the tens of millions. Losing one million yuan in this way is equivalent to a loss of more than 400 yuan per household. It is like a bolt from the blue.
"Comrade An, I will immediately pay attention to what you said." Chen Jinshan nodded, "Defuer, take me around these two days to get a feel for the situation and see the specific situation."
Ma Defu nodded solemnly.
…
In the next few days, Ma Defu carried Chen Jinshan around. In addition to Yuquanying, he also looked at several surrounding counties and cities. Sure enough, he could see orchards full of fruits everywhere.
The locals don’t care about the market at all. It seems that when the fruit is ripe, it will automatically become money. Who will buy it, who will transport it, where will it go, whether the consumption capacity is enough, and the market supply is insufficient...
They didn't think about these things, but Chen Jinshan knew that if there was an accident in one of these links, it would lead to disastrous consequences.
Because southern Fujian developed early, there were too many citrus plantations in the past two years, which led to a sharp drop in prices, and fruit farmers lost money instead.
So he reported it quickly, and contacted the fruit merchants in the south by the way to see if he could come to purchase.
Chen Jinshan's report did not attract enough attention, and the above still did not take any measures.
Firstly, I still have limited cognition, and I don’t believe such a thing will happen at all; secondly, my ability is limited, and not everyone has connections. Even if you realize that there is a problem, it may be that it has nothing to do with yourself.
In July, the grapes begin to ripen.
Because the grapes in Xiangnan are well cared for and have sufficient water and fertilizer, they are the first to mature and go on the market, and fruit merchants come to purchase them. In less than a week, the 400 tons of grapes were basically sold out, and more than one million RMB bags were safe.
Seeing that he made a lot of money, the villagers became more confident in this year's harvest.
But when their grapes began to ripen, the nightmare came.
At the same time, more than 10 million catties of grapes ripened together, and Yuquanying alone had more than 7 million catties.
The fruit merchants really can't collect it, and they really can't sell it. Because Yinchuan is, after all, a second-tier city with limited spending power. There are tens of millions of catties of grapes that every family eats and buys every day, and they can't buy or eat them all.
Therefore, the price of grapes has been falling all the way.
When Xiangnan was selling, because the output was still small, he could sell for one yuan, five yuan, one yuan eight, or even two yuan per catty.
But at this moment, the price of grapes has been falling all the way, six cents, five cents, four cents, and even three cents, two cents.
Selling at such a price, the fruit growers can't even get back the money for fertilizers and water. Not to mention that because of the planting of fruit trees, I could not grow crops, and lost hundreds of dollars that I had earned steadily from growing crops.
…
"Oh, this price is too low, not enough to cover the cost, why don't you mention it again." Yang San said angrily.
"Why don't you mention it. You don't know that grapes are flooding in the city now. There are grapes everywhere, and they can't be sold at a high price. If you don't believe me, you can sell grapes in the mall yourself and see if you can sell them. .” The fruit vendor explained.
"Oh, it's life-threatening." Hearing what he said, Yang San pulled his hair angrily.
"I said it earlier, there will be no pies in the sky. It is a good thing to make a lot of money, will others think of you." Seeing this, Li Dayou gloated and said.
"Don't read the jokes, you're almost dying of grief. Oh, you'll lose money if you sell the grapes, and you'll lose money if you don't sell them. It's really embarrassing." Yang San said depressedly.
Shuan Men, Wu Squat, and even more villagers are also pulling their hair out of worry at this moment.
"Eh, I'm digging up the fruit trees now, and I won't grow such **** anymore." Yang San rushed into the house angrily, holding a shovel and said.
Everyone was about to stop them, but at this moment, the loudspeaker in the village suddenly sounded, "Villagers of Jintan Village, please pay attention, villagers of Jintan Village, please pay attention, this is Ma Defu, the acting village head, and I am announcing good news. Jun Winery is open to purchase grapes from our Yuquanying at a price of 60 cents per catty.
Settle the payment on the spot, no delay or arrears. "
Hearing the news, the villagers all jumped up from the ground, and immediately pulled a flatbed cart to deliver grapes to the winery.
Yang Sandu threw away the shovel, moved the grapes off the fruit seller's scale, and ran all the way to the winery
The price of 60 cents a catty is already a good deal for them.
One mu of real estate has more than 2,000 catties of grapes, and at 60 cents a catty, you can earn more than 1,000 yuan. By removing water, fertilizers, pesticides, etc., you can earn more money than growing corn and potatoes.
When the fruit seller saw it, he quickly drove his tricycle to the winery.
There are more than a ton of grapes in his car, all collected for two or three cents, and when they change hands, it is six hundred yuan.
Li Dayou originally wanted to see the jokes of the big guys, but now that the grapes have sales channels and the big guys can make money again, he couldn't help but **** his teeth in annoyance.
Thousands of calculations have been made, but there is a capable man named Xiang Nan in Jintan Village.
