I am farming in the real world

Chapter 40: Ashore!

Chen Jue was completely stunned by the wholesale price of Shanghai greens at 7.49 yuan in Shanghai.

Although he knew that the production area price and the wholesale price were on a dual-track system, with the former running smoothly to ensure the income of vegetable farmers, and the latter fluctuating in a small range according to market supply and demand.

He never expected that the increase could reach such an outrageous level!

In just a few days, it had increased by about 500% from the original 1.5 yuan.

If people who like to invest in finance knew about this, they would probably gouge out their eyeballs and use them as light bulbs to step on.

"Third Brother, why did it rise so high this time?" Chen Jue asked, still a little incredulous.

Wu Lao San explained and urged on the other end of the phone: "The flooding is too severe, and the supply of Shanghai greens in Hangzhou and Shanghai has been cut off. Trucks from other places are coming to us to grab goods. This kind of market is rare to see once in more than ten years! Hurry up and get people to pick them, and send as much as you can!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jue immediately realized that this kind of price surge should be a short-term disruption of the supply and demand balance of Shanghai greens.

You should know that large economic cities like Hangzhou and Shanghai are not like Wencheng, with its small population and many mountains. The more developed the city, the less arable land there is, because any land is used to build houses and start businesses.

The daily consumption of agricultural products in these first-tier cities, which are full of hot money, basically relies on the supply from surrounding provinces and cities.

To tell an easy-to-understand joke, Shanghai, the place where the Shanghai green variety was named, eats Shanghai greens grown entirely in other places!

Once a supply link is broken, it will form a chain reaction similar to the domino effect.

"Even the wholesale price has risen to this level, wouldn't the retail price in supermarkets and vegetable markets have to rush to more than 10 yuan per kilogram?" Chen Jue took a deep breath.

Checking the retail price online, since it was nighttime and the retail market had not yet opened, the average retail price statistics still remained at yesterday's 4.99 yuan/kilogram.

Wu Lao San and his group's news was much more accurate and ahead of the statistics on the Internet.

However, Chen Jue knew that this kind of short-term fluctuation would not last too long.

Because once the price of a single vegetable rises sharply in a certain place, the northern and central plains provinces with larger planting areas will exert their strength, and vegetable vendors driving large trucks will rush to send vegetables to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai before the price falls back.

If you want to catch this wave of market, you can only rely on the short-distance transportation advantage within the province, as Wu Lao San said, and quickly send the Shanghai greens to the market for sale.

Realizing this, Chen Jue couldn't sit still, immediately changed his clothes, put on his backpack, and ran straight out of the house.

First, he called his uncle in Wencheng to urge them to work overtime overnight to catch a wave of the market, and bring the vegetable farmers from several nearby villages to earn a quick buck together.

Because the production area price had also soared to 2.2 yuan at this time, which was Chen Jue's 0.1 yuan price increase. Picking one kilogram of Shanghai greens was equivalent to the income of picking 4 or 5 kilograms in normal times.

Stimulated by the money, the villagers were enthusiastic and got up in the middle of the night to call friends and partners to rush to harvest vegetables.

The momentum was even more active than the student parties who used to stay up late to play Happy Farm and QQ Farm to harvest vegetables.

As for Chen Jue's side, he took the 5 iron golems who had already spent money to buy human skins, and drove straight to Wanqiang Logistics Park in a white truck.

First, he unloaded the 5,000 kilograms of Shanghai greens that were stored in the truck, and then ordered Tie Yi and Tie Lao Liu to change to a larger 9.8-meter厢式truck and rush to Wencheng to pick up the vegetable farmers' goods.

After that, Chen Jue took Tie Erleng and used a 4.2-meter small truck to shuttle back and forth, tossing from 11 pm to 2 am.

In addition to the 200,000 kilograms of Shanghai greens produced from the underground base, Wencheng also rushed to send more than 50,000 kilograms, and a total of 250,000 kilograms of packaged Shanghai greens piled up in the new warehouse like a small mountain.

A phone call to Wu Lao San, and soon a fence semi-trailer with an empty truck drove in from outside the park, shaking the ground.

"Brother Chen, you're really something!"

"With so many Shanghai greens, you have to make a fortune!" Wu Lao San stared at the vegetables piled up in the two warehouses with bloodshot eyes. He was getting old, and staying up all night was very harmful to his body.

But in the face of this great market, even if he was sent to the ICU immediately, he had to hold on to this breath.

"It's still Third Brother and you who are making a fortune. What's my little fuss?"

"How much goods did you collect tonight?" Chen Jue said a few words of humility, took out a pack of Huazi cigarettes, and distributed them to several foreign buyers who had also arrived.

"Not much, not much. We a few have only pocketed more than one million kilograms in total." Wu Lao San took the cigarette and greedily took a puff.

Because the price of Shanghai greens had risen too high, it was difficult for Wu Lao San to eat it alone, so he contacted a few acquaintances to share the goods and spread the risk.

Everyone smoked and calculated the shareholding ratio. Finally, Wu Lao San came forward and bargained with Chen Jue for a while, and bought all 250,000 kilograms of Shanghai greens at a price of 7.42 yuan.

A simple contract was signed, and cash was transferred on the spot. As several large cash transfers arrived in Tie Yi's account, a forklift that was temporarily dispatched entered the venue and began to cooperate with Chen Jue and the buyers to load the goods.

Everyone went up to help, including Chen Jue himself.

Under such a race against time, in less than half an hour, the two fences behind the semi-trailer were filled with bags of Shanghai greens.

Finally, the dark green rain cloth was covered, and the certificate of origin given by Chen Jue was taken. The red semi-trailer roared out of the logistics park and drove towards the expressway.

According to Wu Lao San, this semi-trailer was going to Hangzhou for distribution.

With the wholesale price rising to this level, the Shanghai greens in supermarkets in Hangzhou and Shanghai will have to be at least 9.9 yuan per kilogram after dawn. Otherwise, these middlemen will have no profit to earn.

However, this has nothing to do with Chen Jue, the first-hand supplier.

After distributing two packs of Huazi cigarettes and watching Wu Lao San and the group of foreign buyers who were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood leave, Chen Jue slumped into the passenger seat of the white truck with his back completely wet.

"Old... Boss, the money is all here!"

Staring at the mobile phone electronic account handed over by Tie Yi, which showed a balance of more than 1.86 million, Chen Jue leaned on the cloth seat as if all his energy had been drained.

After being crushed by more than one million debts after bankruptcy for nearly 2 years, he felt that the burden on his shoulders was completely unloaded at this moment, and the throat that was invisibly stuck by money and debt finally got a moment of relaxation and breathing at this moment.

Chen Jue's eyes showed a bit of the light of rebirth, and he grinned tiredly at the city skyline in the east that was about to turn white: "Finally ashore!"
