Chapter 204: Retail
Chen Yuan and his team participated in the expo for luck, and they might meet a fruit hunter.
Speaking of fruit hunter, Chen Yuan remembered Yoshino, the Japanese fruit hunter...
Chen Yuan and Yoshino also have contacts. Although Yoshino service companies also collect dragon fruits, they have long-term cooperation with farms in other countries...
However, it was Rambutan from the Far Farm. Yoshino said that he would come to take a look in June.
Exporting fruits is also a very simple thing. The problem is that it is difficult to sell at a high price.
Whether it is sold abroad or at home, if you want to sell it at a high price, you need quality. Moreover, when you go abroad, the competition is even greater.
Chen Yuan and the others went to meet their luck, and the boss Zhuang went to the expo, just to promote the Bihu Resort while it was hot.
On his side, he sent two people to help set up the venue.
Chen Yuan drove Lexus LM to Qingmu Farm first, picked up his mother, and then set off... and headed straight to Luhudu Hotel in Haitang District, Sanya.
This expo was held at Luhu Hotel.
Today's opening ceremony. When Chen Yuan and the others arrived, a leader spoke on it...
Chen Yuan glanced over there from afar, drove the car into the parking lot, and called Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen was waiting for him in the parking lot early, and walked towards him while talking on the phone: "Here."
"This place is so big..." Chen Yuan said loudly and walked towards Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen smiled and greeted Chen Yuan, got on Zhang Xingguo's cold chain car, gave him directions, and went to the truck area...
Chen Yuan and the others followed behind and moved the fruits on the car to the agricultural product exhibition area.
The agricultural product exhibition area, each booth is like a hypermarket. There are all kinds of fruits in it...
Yuanfang Farm and Bihu Resort share a booth. The booth is a box with four sides... Chen Yuan and Zhuang boss use two sides. The booth belonging to Yuanfang Farm, where Zhao Pengyu and Zhou Chengping...
"My Mr. Chen, you're here." Zhao Pengyu complained, saying that Chen Yuan was not concerned about this expo at all. Like other farms, agricultural products were put out yesterday.
Chen Yuan placed the fruit on the table: "It's still early. Look at the venue, there are not many people."
"You came with fruits just now, where is the packaging box?"
“Uh…no.”
They themselves never pack the dragon fruits from Yuanfang Farm. Only those sold outside can have packaging boxes and packaging bags, but they are all made by Wensheng Company and small companies. Wensheng Trading, Zhou Wen's company...
The only products exhibited by Yuanfang Farm are dragon fruits, which are placed on the platform.
Zhao Pengyu and the others took out the cutting board and kitchen knife, and there was a disposable small transparent plastic bowl and spoon next to it. They were about to wait for too many people to make a free tasting.
The boss of the village became more lively and put on many large photos, all of which were photos of Bihu Manor, outside the manor, as well as grandma. He also visited the LCD monitor on the platform, which was a promotional video they took themselves.
It was past eight o'clock, and there were still few people in the exhibition.
Baby, Mom Chen and Aunt Chen, they sat here for a while and wandered around.
Chen Yuan took about 2 kilograms of dragon fruit, cut it into three parts, and handed it to Zhou Wen and Zhang Xingguo...
Zhou Wen took a bite and said, "Crispy and sweet, melting in your mouth. It feels like the ripeness is a little higher, which is better than the dragon fruit from last season."
"Absolutely, one season is better than the other." Chen Yuan smiled and said, "You are not alive now?"
"Yes..." Zhou Wen shrugged: "But there is only one factory left, and there are only a limited number of fruits that can be processed. There are only two left in the refrigerated warehouse. There are quite a lot of people asking me to buy fruits, but I dare not take too many. The situation this year is almost the same, just barely enough to support my life..."
"So miserable?"
"Hahaha... I'm going to acquire land in Guoyuan Township and build a factory to facilitate imports to buy fruits directly in Tingzhou and Lingshui."
"It's pretty good." Chen Yuan said.
The lychees that Zhou Wen collected in the past had to be sent to Sanya for treatment before then to Haikou. Most of the fruits were taken to the ports in Haikou... This round and round is also troublesome.
Zhao Pengyu also cut a few dragon fruits and sent some to the boss Zhuang and others. While eating the dragon fruits, he saw someone passing by, so he asked him to taste them for free...
"Your dragon fruit tastes good, how much does it cost per pound?" asked the guest after the free tasting.
“Retail or?”
“Buy some to try the taste.”
"If you sell it in stock, you can buy 17 yuan per kilogram." Zhao Pengyu said.
"It's so expensive... The dragon fruit over there is only 10 yuan per kilogram."
"You get what you pay for."
The customer waved his hand and said he would not sell it.
The dragon fruits on the Far Farm are very unique, with a light rose fragrance. They are elegant, non-existent, and fragrant…
Most red dragon fruits, if they have a rose fragrance, are relatively rich, just like chewing rose petals.
Zhao Pengyu said that he got what he paid for because of the size of the dragon fruit and its unique fragrance. As for the sweetness, it may not be better than the dragon fruits on other farms.
17 yuan per kilogram is still too expensive for most people.
Watching the guests walk away, Zhao Pengyu looked at Chen Yuan and spread his hands together.
Chen Yuan also shrugged...
Sitting at the venue until after nine o'clock, Zhou Wen received a call and stood up to say goodbye.
There are still not many people coming to the venue.
Zhao Pengyu found some customers who could taste it for free, but when it comes to selling 17 yuan per kilogram, no dragon fruit was sold. At the same time, no one asked about the wholesale price...
There are too few people.
Sitting bored, Chen Yuan said to Zhao Pengyu and wandered around with his uncle-in-law.
There are probably dozens or hundreds of farms that come to participate in the expo, selling bananas, lychees, dragon fruits, early-ripening rambutans... and selling local chickens, local eggs... and selling saplings...
Most farm rental exhibitions are very small, a few square meters and a dozen square meters.
In fact, the exhibition rented by Chen Yuan and others is not big. It’s just that the location is better…
It's simply a large party.
Chen Yuan and his friends went to several exhibitions selling dragon fruits, and they were also red hearts...
Chen Yuan also tasted their dragon fruit, which was very sweet, probably 23% sweet, with a strong rose fragrance, like a perfume. If you like this taste, you will naturally feel good. If you don’t like it, you may feel it…
This is also the best dragon fruit.
Extra large fruit, 12 yuan per kilogram. Large fruit, 9 yuan. Others, 6.5-8.5 yuan.
This is also the price of retail...
