I am farming in the real world

Chapter 10: The Deadliest Form of Invisible Flexing

You should know that the highest rating for Dongkui Yangmei within the industry is Special A.

However, business people like to boast about their own products, just like those micro-business owners who promote cosmetics and skincare products, they like to come up with random gimmicks.

The 9A or 8A labels used to classify Dongkui Yangmei sizes that you see on the internet are actually just marketing ploys used by merchants to attract attention, sound good, and lure those ignorant newbie customers to place orders and snap them up.

The reason Chen Jue put 13A and "Royal Special Supply" on the packaging box is also a promotional strategy.

"How would I know why it's called 13A?"

"Isn't it just for flexing and convenient sales, to make it look high-end?" Chen Jue thought amusingly.

Seeing that the fatty was interested, he took out a waxberry wrapped in a small plastic shell and handed it over: "Brother, this is the best Dongkui, picked from decades-old trees. If you don't believe me, try it and compare it with those Dongkui on your stall to see which one is authentic."

Seeing that Chen Jue had handed the fruit to him, the fatty immediately restrained his previous disgusted expression, put down the calculator in his hand, and suspiciously unwrapped the package, picked up one, and put it in his mouth to taste.

"Huh?"

"Sweet!"

"This 13A Dongkui really has flavor! It's also juicy, much better than the batch I received before."

The fatty only took a small bite, and a sense of satisfaction appeared on his face, as if the summer heat was mostly dispelled by this fruit.

So, the fatty asked Chen Jue for two more, picked up those 9A Dongkui on his stall, and took a photo and a short video.

After comparing them, the fatty found that ordinary Dongkui, whether in color, size, or fullness of the fruit, were far inferior to this waxberry with the 13A gimmick.

"Brother, come in with me to enjoy the air conditioning and have a cup of tea, it's too hot outside."

The fatty was obviously conquered by the MC system's waxberry, put down the account book and calculator in his hand, asked a shop assistant to watch the stall, and immediately put on a smiling face to invite Chen Jue into the shop to sit down.

Seeing the MC's waxberry start to show its power, Chen Jue also grinned. Holding the two gift boxes, he passed through the shop with transparent plastic curtains and sat down in a small, simply decorated tea room at the back of the shop.

"This is the first time I've heard of 13A Dongkui, what's the price?" The fatty made tea and handed Chen Jue a business card from the table.

Chen Jue took the business card and glanced at it. After learning that the fat boss was called Luo Xian, he scanned the code to add the other party's WeChat, and immediately began his sales performance: "Brother Luo, if I sell this 13A in bulk, it will be 100 yuan per catty, and 120 yuan with packaging."

"So expensive?"

Luo Xian was also taken aback when he heard this, because the packaging box contained neatly arranged 10 pieces, and he weighed one in his hand, which was at least 50 grams.

A catty is only 10 fruits, so on average, without packaging, each one costs almost 10 yuan.

Not many people can afford to buy such expensive Dongkui Yangmei to try.

"Brother Luo, you get what you pay for!"

"This is the king of fruits among Dongkui. It was even more expensive when it was first launched in June. I did a few orders before and sold them to the Middle East at 200 US dollars per catty." Chen Jue began his bragging performance.

Anyway, bragging doesn't cost you anything, and with the appearance of this MC waxberry, it's never too much to brag.

Luo Xian, as a fruit wholesaler, has been working in this area for many years, and naturally understands the value of this kind of fruit king.

So, he asked Chen Jue for a box and played with it. Luo Xian said with a bit of euphemism: "It's all hype when it's first launched, the more expensive the better, 8A can be sold for seven or eight yuan a piece!"

"Now it's July, and the output of Dongkui has increased. The best 9A only costs 3 or 4 yuan per piece. Your 13A has a good appearance and taste, but it's not easy to sell it!"

His implication was to let Chen Jue lower the price.

Business people are like this, there is give and take, and every little bit that can be cut is profit saved.

"Brother Luo, good things don't worry about selling, you know that."

"There aren't many fruit kings like this in the garden I contracted. If you sincerely want to take it, I can give you 5 mao less per piece at most. And I can guarantee that there won't be a single bad fruit for you." Chen Jue patted his chest and said.

"Brother, 5 mao is not enough! At least give me 1 yuan 5 less. Otherwise, the price I set is too high, and it's not easy to sell it." Luo Xian shook his head and began to bargain with Chen Jue.

Chen Jue was overjoyed to see that the other party had a sales channel for this kind of luxury fruit.

He, a newbie in the fruit business, relied entirely on the scarcity of goods to come and promote it, and he was aiming at the channels mastered by these old wholesalers.

Otherwise, relying on him alone to run out and sell it, it would take until the year of the monkey to sell the more than 20,000 MC waxberries on hand.

So, after a series of brotherly haggling, the price of 8 yuan 7 per piece was finally settled, and the packaging box was also ground by Luo Xian to 10 yuan each.

After all, he is an old hand in the business world and knows the price routines of these packaging boxes. Adding a little more to Chen Jue is purely to give some manual packaging fees for the first cooperation.

As for the quantity of the first batch of goods, it was negotiated to 500 boxes.

According to Luo Xian, the pricing of this 13A is too high, and it is a bit difficult to run the quantity. He has to find banks, large hotels, gift shops and other wealthy people to promote it.

Take 500 boxes first to test the waters, and if the market response is good, he will order from Chen Jue again.

Chen Jue also gladly accepted this, saying that he would pull 100 boxes over to deliver the goods later, and the subsequent 400 boxes would have to wait until tomorrow to be transported.

However, when it came to how to pay for the goods, Chen Jue specially made a small request, that is, it must be in cash.

His bank account and electronic payment have been forcibly frozen by the court. If he transfers money by card, the money will be like throwing it into the water, and he won't even hear a sound.

After all, in order to get this MC waxberry packaging done, he has spent almost all of his cash savings on hand.

If he doesn't recover blood quickly, he won't even be able to take out the steel coins to take the bus into the city in a few days.

Luo Xian didn't seem to care about the cash payment. Like them, these people who do wholesale business have a lot of cash in their hands, just in case they encounter some strange customers.

Only before Chen Jue left, Luo Xian hinted to him: "Brother, you can't go to other shops after you leave my door, otherwise it won't be easy to do it later."

"Understood, Brother Luo! I'll go and send you 100 boxes first." Chen Jue nodded and agreed.

After all, he has been in the business world, and Chen Jue naturally understands the principle of 'exclusive authorization'.

The main selling point of this luxury-grade fruit is the attribute of "scarcity", and if two neighboring wholesalers put it on the shelves together, they may have to fight a price war to grab each other's business.

If it is not done well, it will also affect the reputation and subsequent sales of MC waxberry, and Chen Jue will definitely not be so stupid to do such a thing that cuts off his wealth.
