They succeeded, but then they were exposed and the car was smashed.

Yunwazi, I advise you not to make this idea.

My uncle knows that you have a good heart and want to bring the people in the village to prosperity."

Seeing what Qing Yun wanted to say, he waved his hand, "I know, you want your father-in-law to invest and build a factory here.

Some time ago, people from the countryside came to inquire, and I heard that your father-in-law's company has been inspecting nearby in the past few days.

Listen to my uncle's advice and stop immediately, unless you are doing charity.

Our people here..."

After saying this, the old village chief shook his head with a wry smile.

Uncle Chai also sighed, "Uncle Qi, you can't blame the fruit farmers entirely. Lemons are too difficult to take care of. After a year of hard work, you can't make much money at all for just a few cents per pound."

When writing the feasibility report, Qing Yun also knew that Anyue’s lemon yield per mu at the moment was around 800-1,400 kilograms.

However, the cost of planting includes land rent, seedling fees, fertilizers, pesticides, planting management and other miscellaneous expenses, totaling about 1,200 yuan per mu.

The purchase price offered by the fruit seller is a few cents per catty, and farmers are losing money even if labor is not included.

But there is nothing the greengrocer can do. Under the current traffic conditions, freight is the biggest factor, and they also have to make ends meet.

This is an irreconcilable contradiction.

In other places, fruit merchants can use various means to lower the purchase price to realize profits.

In fact, from another perspective, this kind of black-hearted behavior can encourage fruit farmers to unite to support each other and embark on the path of intensive production, thereby reducing costs and achieving profitability.

I can’t say it’s good or bad, it’s all a choice under the market economy.

But this is not feasible in Qing Yun's hometown.

The folk customs here... are too tough.

If a greengrocer wants to do something bad, he must first think about how many beatings he can afford.

This protects the interests of fruit farmers, but it also objectively creates a situation where Anyue lemons are scattered. The situation can only be alleviated after traffic conditions completely improve.

On the contrary, what Qin Tianchuan considers to be internal fighting among clans is a trivial matter in his opinion.

No one has trouble with money.

I have been suffering from poverty for so long. As long as I can become rich, there won't be much opposition.

Qing Yun, who knew the crux of the matter, also knew how to persuade them.

"Uncle Qi, Uncle De, Uncle Guangquan, and Uncle Chai, don't worry, I don't have the heart of a Bodhisattva to do charity. I will definitely make money.

But I can guarantee that the purchase price will not be less than one yuan and eighty pounds."

The old village chief sneered, "Yunwazi, what's the price? Come on, tell me what you earn?"

It’s not like the county and townships haven’t calculated that the freight from here to Jincheng costs 1 yuan per catty. Plus what kind of dealer thing is that, what else do you make?”

Qing Yun shook his head, "Seventh Uncle, what if there are no middlemen? What if the output can be increased, for example, the yield per mu can be increased?"

A few uncles who work outside have seen clearly that agricultural products are now not valuable in the place of origin, but the price in the city is not low.

There are two reasons, one is because of the freight cost, and the other is caused by the complexity of the supply and marketing system.

Although the old village chief understands a little, he still listens to what others say, "There are no middlemen? Please tell me carefully."

Before Qing Yun could say anything, Qing Guangquan rushed to say, "Uncle Qi, you don't know that the lemons we have here cost more than 7 yuan per pound in Yangcheng."

Seeing that the old village chief was stunned, Uncle De shook his head, "Don't tell me, in fact, many fruits are the same.

Layers of dealers are added up, and the price has increased countless times from the place of production to the hands of consumers."

When he was in Yangcheng, he looked at the price of lemons on the fruit stall for the first time, and he had the desire to kill.

At that time, he thought the fruit stall owner was too dark-hearted.

But after asking around carefully, I found out that fruit stall owners don’t make much money either.

This puzzled him.

It wasn't until later, when he was working in a cannery, that he understood the details when he heard them.

In fact, each link is not very profitable, only about 20% of the gross profit, but there are so many links.

From the factory to the consumer, the cans generally go through several stages: factory, agent, wholesaler, retailer, and consumer.

But within each big link there are smaller links. For example, agents are divided into first-level agents and second-level agents, and wholesalers are divided into first-level wholesalers, second-level wholesalers, etc.

In fact, a canned product goes through 8 steps from the factory to the consumer, which is considered a small number.

The final purchase price for consumers is the sum of the gross profits of all links, so it will naturally be high.

Qingde and others have seen this kind of thing many times outside and understand it.

This is also the reason why they are unwilling to stay in the village and continue to farm, grow vegetables and fruits.

Especially the fields. After a year of hard work, how much food can be harvested from the fields?

An acre of real estate is worth only a thousand yuan, and sweat is worthless. But after deducting the cost, after a year of hard work, the net income from an acre of land is only 100 or 200 yuan, and you can't afford to go to the city to see a doctor.

But if what Yunwazi said is true, the price can reach 1.8 yuan per catty, and the yield per mu can be increased, then this land can be planted.

Throwing aside the cost, the net income from one acre of land is more than 3,000 yuan. With a few acres of land, it is not much less than working part-time, but you can take care of the elderly and children at home. Who the hell would want to go out to work?

Qingde and others were breathing rapidly, "Yunwazi, this is not a joke!"

If it were someone else, they would not care or have any control over the price that the final consumer gets.

But obviously Yunwazi did this just to bring everyone together to get rich. If Qingyun did a loss-making business with their interests in mind, he would be cheating his nephew.

In the eyes of Qing De and others, no matter how you say it, Qing Yun is essentially a door-to-door son-in-law.

If you do this, you are cheating your father-in-law, and it will be weird for you to live in the future.

When Qing Yun heard this, her heart felt warm.

His uncles really loved him.

For ordinary people, who cares whether you make a loss or a profit in the end, as long as they can sell their own things and make money.

He shook his head and looked solemn, "This is really not a joke. The fruit merchants who came here in the past were wholesalers, and they would go through several stages before reaching the final user.

But Magnolia officinalis is different. It is a group that has connected all industrial chains, without the loss of intermediate links.

After purchasing the original fruit from us, we sell it directly to retail stores and into the hands of consumers, reducing the need for distribution and consignment.

Even, in some places, Magnolia officinalis itself is a retail store, with one less layer of intermediate links."

Seeing that the old village chief couldn't understand, he simply picked up a few stones and came back to make gestures on the table.

The old village chief suddenly realized, "There is no difference between this and the previous supply and marketing cooperative."

Qing Yun glanced at the old village chief in surprise, and felt funny in her heart.

To put it bluntly, this is the same as the supply and marketing cooperative-unified large market model 20 years later, with the middle links cut out.

However, this is a developing process, and commodity circulation is not that simple. Intermediate links that may seem redundant in later generations are inevitable under specific historical conditions.

The reason why Qing Yun dared to play this way was actually because he relied on the behemoth Hopu Group as a distributor.

Otherwise, it’s just a fool’s errand, where will there be so many people?

Channel is king is the answer in this era.

“This is a way of playing, and there is another way of playing that can be supplemented by selling through the Internet.

Well...you don't have to listen to this. I'll ask the young people in the village to do this.

Uncle De, the young people from our village have also returned?"

In 2003, e-commerce was indeed still in its infancy, and the supporting logistics industry was also experiencing stumbling development.

Qing Yun knew very well that if other fresh fruit sales were to be sold online, he could just go to sleep.

The price of logistics is not an important factor. In fact, the logistics and express delivery industry has been a price war trend since 1993, with a small quantity every year and a large quantity every three years.

The real impact is on the road network.

Under the current logistics conditions and China's imperfect road network at the moment, online sales of fresh fruits look like a sinkhole, and no amount of money can be lost.

but……

This is lemon.

The shelf life of lemons can be up to more than 200 days.

This is the basis for him to play like this.

Of course, these 200 days also require technology and hard work.

Unfortunately, Qing Yun is a professor of chemical physics and he also knows a little bit about chemistry.

At this moment, it seemed to him that the patented technologies of the next ten years were just for nothing.

It can not only preserve the quality, but also preserve the freshness.
