Chapter 232 The Impact Has Arrived
Yangcheng.

Jiangnan Wholesale Market, the country's leading fruit and vegetable wholesale market, is also one of the core wholesale markets for imported fruits from Southeast Asia.

Area A of the wholesale market specializes in the wholesale business of Southeast Asian fruits. Area C also sells imported fruits from Southeast Asia, but Area C is mainly an area for picking up goods in whole containers.

At this time, the durian wholesalers in Area A looked extremely unhappy.

"Old Huang, what's the situation?"

The middle-aged man who was questioned shook his head with a bitter face: "Hailufeng's durian has already rushed into the Pearl River Delta. Their specialty stores and warehouse supermarkets in the Pearl River Delta sell for 17 to 18 yuan per pound, and the shipment volume is very large."

"How many acres did they plant?" Another young man holding iced tea frowned.

Old Huang shook his head and said, "I asked my friends in my hometown. Hailufeng Company has planted more than 100,000 mu of land in Shanmei and more than 200,000 mu in Qiongzhou. This is the first year of production. In the summer, we produced more than 50,000 tons. Starting from the end of the year, we have produced 50,000 to 60,000 tons every month."

"Fuck! So many?"

"Old Man, how much have you ordered from Siam this year?"

The middle-aged man who asked the question at the beginning looked at the boxes of durian in the container and said with a sad face, "We ordered 200 tons of gold pillows."

"How much is your order?"

"AB fruit is thirty-three yuan per kilogram, plus transportation and other costs, the landed cost is about forty-five yuan. We can't do it at this price now! I have invested tens of millions, but I estimate that I can only get back a small half of it." Lao Tu's face looked very ugly.

"What should we do now?"

A skinny boss gnashed his teeth and said, "What should we do? Run away and transport the durian to the north as soon as possible. Sell all the stock before the Hailufeng Company goes north."

"Yes, yes, the old monkey is right."

"Old Huang, what about you?"

"I plan to sell this batch of goods and then go back to grow durian." Old Huang replied with a smile.

Lao Tu was speechless: "The durian from Hailufeng is so cheap, how can you make money from growing durian?"

"Do you think China is Siam?" Old Huang smiled and shook his head. "I asked around. Hailufeng's durian uses new technology. It bears fruit three times in two years. The second harvest is the high-yield period. Each harvest can yield four to six tons per mu."

"so much?"

The old monkey was shocked. "The high-yield old trees in Siam can only produce about five tons per year. Didn't Qiongzhou in China say that the yield per mu was more than 1,000 kilograms a few years ago?"

"Haha, can other companies' technology compare with Hailufeng Company?" Old Huang reminded with a smile.

The old monkey nodded: "Well... Hailufeng Company is indeed very powerful."

Another boss stroked his stubble and said, "If we harvest three times every two years, and harvest four to six tons of durian each time, we can make a profit per acre per year."

Old Huang did not hide the information he had found out: "I have found out everything. The total cost of pesticides, fertilizers, watering, farm machinery, labor and other miscellaneous expenses for one acre is about 12 yuan. Add in the land rent, which is 6 to 7.6 yuan per acre. The purchase price of Grade A fruit by Hailufeng Company is 5.6 yuan per catty, and the price of Grade B fruit is yuan per catty. The annual income for one acre is about yuan, so I can make about yuan."

"Do you have land, kid?" Lao Tu asked with a sneer.

"Haha, it's true. There are too many people who have left my hometown to live in the city. Now there are only about 20 households left. If we cut down the lychees, longans and mangoes in the whole village, plus the barren slopes, we can probably make 500 to 600 acres."

The old monkey nodded slightly: "Five or six hundred acres? That year I can make more than 20 million, which is better than doing wholesale."

"Mr. Huang, is there any way? I also want to go back to my hometown to grow durian." another boss asked eagerly.

"Haha, Awei, don't even think about it." Old Huang shook his head.

"why?"

"Hailufeng Company issued an announcement yesterday, announcing that it would only promote new durian cultivation technology in Qiongzhou and Shanmei, and the total planting scale would be limited to 1.5 million mu. If you want to lease land, you can only try your luck in Qiongzhou."

"Damn! Why are there restrictions?"

"If there is no restriction, and everyone rushes to plant, then no one will make any money. One and a half million acres is already enough."

"That makes sense. I'll go to Qiongzhou right away."

"Lao Liu, aren't you from Qiongzhou? Help me, brother!"

"Go, go, go, who is your brother?"

"Don't be like this, kid, don't forget that we went to Tamsui some time ago..."

"Damn! Don't talk nonsense..."

Durian wholesalers in the wholesale market went their separate ways.

Some people quickly transported durian to the north to sell it off. They were afraid that the Hailufeng Company would move north, so they pushed the price very low, almost close to the cost line.
Some people asked factories in Siam and Annan to delay shipments, trying to avoid the time when Hailufeng's durians were on the market;

Some people go to Shanmei or Qiongzhou, preparing to rent land and switch to growing durian or bananas.

the other side.

Yangcheng warehouse supermarket.

A fruit shop owner: "Ah Lin, 100 pieces of durian, and 20 pieces of Red Big Mike."

"Sure, do you want it delivered?"

"No, I called a car, hurry up and give me the goods." "Wait a minute, I'll give you the order, and you can go to the warehouse next door to pick up the goods."

"well."

Although the price of the goods reached 16 yuan per catty, they sold it at 19 yuan per catty, and with services such as door-to-door delivery, they were still able to sell it.

It seems that they only make more than two yuan per kilogram, but with the principle of small profits but quick turnover, this fruit shop can sell one hundred pieces of durian in two days, each of which is a standard 17 to 20 kilograms.

The same goes for the Mike series of bananas. With small profits but quick turnover, they are still profitable.

Currently, Hailufeng Company imports about 1.8 pieces of premium durian to the Pearl River Delta region every day, but the supply still exceeds the demand.

After all, Hailufeng Company's durians are equivalent to Siam's A++ fruit, and the quality is very stable, with a relatively good floral fragrance. In addition, with the advantages of tree maturity and price, they are snapped up by consumers and fruit stores as soon as they arrive.

Many consumers buy them by the box.

Although it is a few dollars more expensive than the 15 yuan per pound picked directly from the farm, many consumers do not want to go to the place of origin and can only accept the additional cost of a few dollars. In fact, it may cost more to go to the place of origin, after all, transportation, accommodation, food and drink require a lot of money.

Therefore, whether to go to the place of origin or not depends on the consumers' own ideas.

If you don’t have time or are just too lazy, you can buy them at nearby specialty stores or fruit shops.

If you have money and time, you can travel to the production area and enjoy the cheap and delicious fresh tree-ripened durian.

The fruit shop owner got the manifest and hurried to the warehouse area next door.

Without even making any choices, he and his staff loaded 100 durians and 20 bananas onto the van. In fact, these durians were already carefully selected products, but the fruit shop owner, who had purchased from him several times, was too lazy to check each box.

Just then, someone tapped him on the shoulder.

"Old Wu, are you here to buy some goods?"

Turning his head and taking a closer look, Boss Wu realized that it was Lao Dai, the owner of the seafood store next door: "Yes! Are you here to buy something too?"

"I'm here to buy some sockeye and pink salmon."

Old Wu glanced at the aquatic truck not far away that was pumping oxygen and asked, "What kind of fish is this?"

"It's salmon." Old Dai replied with a smile.

Old Wu looked at the bright red salmon and said, "Salmon? Isn't salmon silvery white? How can it be red?"

“It’s a different kind of salmon.”

"Hailufeng Company also breeds this kind of fish?"

"They have a breeding base in Shanmei."

Old Wu suddenly asked in a low voice: "Old Dai, I heard that freshwater salmon, like rainbow trout, have parasites. Sockeye salmon won't have parasites either, right?"

"No, this sockeye salmon is farmed in seawater, and you know the products of Hailufeng Company. They are famous for their good quality and they are very strict about food safety." Old Dai has obviously done business with Hailufeng Company many times.

After a while, both of them had loaded their goods and then they each escorted their items back to the store.

As soon as Lao Wu’s durian arrived at the store.

Several customers came over, and one of them, a middle-aged man wearing a golden nanmu bracelet, asked impatiently, "Boss! Is this Hailufeng durian?"

"Of course! I dare not sell fakes." Old Wu quickly picked up a utility knife and cut open the packaging tape: "Boss, look, these are premium fruits."

Looking at the shape and size of the fruit, as well as the faint fragrance and odor of durian, several people nodded.

"How much is one pound?" asked another middle-aged man.

Old Wu was also unequivocal: "A whole box is 18 yuan, and a single box is 19 yuan."

A few middle-aged men discussed in a low voice for a while and then jointly bought a box.

After opening the box, they found there were six fruits in total, but there were five of them, so they decided to split one on the spot.

Old Wu has become very skilled at selling tree-ripened durian these days. He picks up the knife and his movements are quick, accurate and ruthless.

"Yes, they are all dried yellow meat." The middle-aged man wearing the bracelet took a piece directly.

Another middle-aged man said as he tore open the durian flesh: "The texture of this chicken shreds is the same as the durian I ate in Siam before."

Old Wu had just finished splitting the durian when a few more customers came to buy durian. These customers were even more generous and directly brought three boxes.

Two bananas were also sold.

Within an hour, his private fruit shop received more than twenty orders, many of which required the fruit to be processed and delivered to the customer's door.

This is also the core way for many fruit stores to make money, because tree-ripened durian is not like imported durian, which cannot be opened by breaking it open, but must be split directly with a fruit knife.

For many consumers, it is not easy to open this kind of durian when they encounter it for the first time. However, many fruit stores have seized this feature and launched services such as selling the fruit pulp directly and delivering it to customers’ homes.

Most of the orders that come through private domains are orders for directly purchasing fruit pulp.

Many consumers are gradually getting used to this consumption pattern. It is more convenient to purchase fruit pulp, and although the price is a bit higher, they can accept it. After all, it is just for convenience.
