Fruit Tycoon [Farming]

When Xu's oranges became popular on campus, the weather had turned cold. In November, Jingzhou had the first snow of the year. Xu Yi, Zhou Suning, and Zhu Chen moved their positions from the library to the dormitory. Sweet potatoes from the cafeteria are baked on the slices.

Sweet potatoes and oranges, and a spoonful of oily and spicy old godmother, this weird combination once made Zhu Chen snort, but after taking a sip, he put away his stubbornness and kept talking about how delicious it was.

This combination is not only suitable for sweet potatoes, but also steamed potatoes in the cafeteria. The potatoes are not peeled and steamed, smashed with chopsticks, dipped in Laoganma or Haidilao dry dishes, and then peeled off three Two oranges, gods don't change them on such a day.

Unfortunately, I still have to go to class.After the second grade, Xu Yi and the others had fewer and fewer courses, but this did not mean that the pressure was less. Thinking of their graduation thesis, everyone couldn't help but touch the dangerous hairline. Alas, the thesis makes people bald.

Xu Yi's advisor, Professor Pan, had high expectations for him, and Xu Yi didn't want to be looked down upon, so he ran to the office very frequently, which resulted in the fact that all the professors in the majors knew Xu Yi's name by heart, but Xu Yi When I went to consult Professor Pan, these professors would come together and give Xu Yi a few words of guidance and advice. Sometimes they even quarreled over an issue, and Xu Yi absorbed a lot from the sidelines.

Naturally, Xu Yi’s graduation thesis cannot be done behind closed doors. There are several research centers and key laboratories of the Agricultural College on Qingbei Campus. The area of ​​the greenhouse is larger than Xu’s orchard in Yunwei Town. Xu Yi listened to Professor Pan He talked about all the details that should be paid attention to in the growth of crops, and carefully recorded them in his notebook.

Xu Yi is not worried about his graduation thesis. During the period of graduate school, he has absorbed a lot of knowledge, and the data of graduation research are basically complete. Xu Yi does not plan to further study for a doctorate. His address book contains Knowing the contact information of many experts in Qingbei and Suzhou Research Institutes, it is enough to ask for advice on the spot when in trouble.

……

Canada.

The tangerines that Lisa and Howard imported from Huaguo have been arranged neatly on the supermarket shelves.

"They're so cute, just like Santa's lanterns." Lisa praised with a big smile.

Howard hesitated a bit: "Honey, do you think these oranges will really be popular? Think about its price..."

Howard thought that $5 a pound of watermelon was already a sky-high price, but it turned out that that tricky oriental man had no idea what the bottom line was, and his grapes actually offered a sky-high price of $20!

Oranges are not cheap either, a full $15 a pound!

This means that Lisa and Howard's profits will definitely be compressed. Although watermelon and grapes are very popular with consumers in Canada, the two have made a lot of money and their popularity has further increased, but Howard is still very upset.

He is prejudiced against Chinese people, which also dooms their careers to always be dominated by Lisa.

"But we have gained a reputation, and everyone knows that we have good products from the mysterious east." Lisa smiled, "My dear, put away your prejudices, even if you can't stand the behavior of misers in China, You'd better keep your mouth shut."

Most of the oranges in Canada come from China and the island countries.After Lisa imported oranges from Xu's this year, she reduced her imports from the island country.Like watermelons and grapes, Xu's oranges did not disappoint Lisa.

Except for the price.

Howard has been complaining, and Lisa may not have no ideas in her heart, but thinking of the harvest of watermelons and grapes in summer, Lisa is still at ease.

Compared with the income of Canadians, the price of fruit in Canada is not expensive. A box of oranges in the supermarket is about $7, while the unit price of "Xu's" oranges imported from China is set at $24.99. It was the price that Lisa and Howard decided after careful consideration.

For Canadian customers, this price is a bit exaggerated.

"Maybe I missed a decimal point, I did try oranges for $2.5 a pound, but $25 a pound would kill me and I wouldn't buy it!"

"$24.99...Maybe the neighborhood is full of billionaires and I'm the only poor guy..."

"It's the fruit of Huaguo again... My wallet is starting to feel a sense of crisis..."

"Hey man, you're not stupid enough to buy such expensive oranges, are you? You're a guy who can't even buy toilet paper!"

On the first day, although many customers were curious about the expensive oranges, very few were willing to stop and buy. Among the very few, only a few people bought more than one pound.

Hearing such feedback, Howard was very anxious: "Maybe we should be more sensible, Lisa, according to the number of oranges consumed by some customers, if they choose the brand we import, they may eat a car."

"Canada is not a superpower, we are not rich enough to have that luxury."

"Calm down, Howard, wait and see. You can't taste the fruit if you are impatient." Lisa smiled, "I have never tasted such delicious fruit in my life, we just need to give my dear Customers have a little time, so they have the opportunity to choose."

As Lisa expected, things turned around the next day.

In the supermarket, a pair of customers gathered next to the shelf with a $24.99 label. Opposite them, there were also people snapping up oranges worth $2.49. Both kinds of oranges were produced in China. The appearance, color, and freshness of the oranges Not much difference, but...

"Why is he so stupid?"

"Why is he so mean?"

The two groups of people looked at me and I looked at you, and they all showed the look of "I'm an idiot opposite me".

However, in the process of picking oranges, the number of people after 24.99 increased. Some customers originally lined up after 2.49, but were overwhelmed by the huge aura opposite and moved unconsciously.

Customers who are choosing in the orange sales area of ​​2.49 dollars: "..."

"Is it this? A divine fruit from the East?"

"Yes, that's him. My grandfather who was in a vegetable state for five years suddenly woke up after eating it..."

"Bob, I remember your grandfather passed away three years ago."

"Slip of the tongue, it's Robbie's grandfather, don't worry about those details. Robbie's grandfather suddenly opened his eyes, and his grandmother fainted from fright, and she is still trying to save her..."

"That's a pity."

While talking, they didn't stop what they were doing, they were still busy picking.There is no difference between these oranges and the oranges that are only one-tenth of the price on the opposite side. Only by smelling them closely can the strong citrus fragrance be revealed. Compared with it, the cheaper oranges have a weaker smell, although It's not unpalatable, but it's worse after all.

The boy who spoke first swallowed his saliva: "I can't help it anymore. Em bought this thing home yesterday, and my mother and grandma accused her of wasting money. I only ate one to save face... But I I only ate one! All the others were eaten by them, these disgusting adults!"

"Don't worry, Tim, we can buy as much as we want!"

The discussion of the two boys quickly attracted the attention of other customers. Some of them thought the two boys were the caretakers of oranges, but when several housewives in ordinary clothes joined the selection team, the interest of others was even more aroused. up.

"Is this orange really so delicious?"

A white housewife smiled: "Yes, I can guarantee it. It's like the watermelons and grapes sold in this supermarket this summer. They are said to be fruits grown in the same orchard."

"Which one?" Hearing this, the eyes of the customers present could not help but light up.

This summer, watermelons and grapes from the far east have abused their wallets severely, and their spouses, parents and children have fallen in love with the delicacy unique to China, even if they themselves were not spared.

Even if the wallet is empty, they are willing.

"Then I must try it, what you said doesn't count!"

In this way, the number of people who bought the fruit marked with a unit price of 24.99 was more popular than the cheap one opposite it. After these people bought it back with the mentality of trying, but on the third day, there was a long queue at the place selling oranges. Team.Everyone was happily discussing the magic of Huaguo oranges, they bought a lot, and they didn't feel any distress in their hearts when they paid.

Few foreign fruits are so popular in Canadian supermarkets. For this reason, the local community TV station specially made a program to promote this phenomenon.

Then, the incident was noticed by the mainstream media in Canada.

Some media scoffed at this phenomenon, thinking it was fake news made by fruit sellers in Huaguo: "'Huaguo oranges' have been in the Canadian market for so many years, and they are no better than the 'Huaguo oranges' from the island country. This kind of news is meaningless fake news that makes people laugh. Why do stupid Canadians always fall for it?"

Some media believe that this is a threat from Huaguo: "After cheap daily necessities and mobile phones, Huaguo has once again invaded our great Canadian market, but they still feel that it is not enough, trying to deceive us with fake news."

Lisa was quite speechless when she saw the news: "This group of arrogant guys, why don't they use their few remaining brain cells to think about it, this kind of invasion is too childish, right?"

"It's true, Lisa, they are invading us."

But the media's statement was quickly slapped in the face by the local people.

"We just bought some oranges, how stupid is this behavior?"

"I think the media is the most stupid creature in the world. They are afraid that the world will not be chaotic. In fact, this Huaguo orange is delicious, even more delicious than the island orange. We cannot accept the slander from the media. If they are willing to close Keep your mouth shut, and the world will definitely be a lot better."

Someone even called the TV station: "This is blatant slander, shut up that idiot!"

Along with the ferment of this incident, media people who were curious about the reason simply went to the local supermarket and bought the delicious fruit that was said to come from China.

Then--

"Our audience is right, Eric is a stupid idiot, maybe I can suggest to my boss to buy some of this fruit, on the premise that I don't give any to Eric."
