Born with rich bones

The Nanyue Provincial Chamber of Commerce received a request for help from the Binh Han Provincial Chamber of Commerce, so the vice president led the team members and experts to fly to Binh Han Province.

The expert is a doctor of agricultural science, specializing in fruit tree grafting, and has also published papers on problems such as unsalable domestic fruits.

These two doctors of agricultural science happen to be from Changjing University, and they are talents in the key experimental training base.

Li Yan knew the vice president of the Nanyue Provincial Chamber of Commerce and had some friendship.When he spoke and brought Luo Bai with him, the vice president expressed that they were very welcome to accompany them.

After all, it is a golden thigh.

If Jin Thigh is satisfied, he nods his head and nods, maybe he will invest 3000 to [-] million yuan, right?

In addition, the young man who was brought in had acquainted with the expert group, so he might also be a well-hidden kid from a rich family.

Therefore, Dai Chengcai, the vice president, had no intention of objecting at all, and was quite enthusiastic about the two of them.

Those in the team who didn't know the situation thought they were Shangfeng's sons, and Dai Chengcai was in a hurry to please.

They secretly glanced at Li Yan and Luo Bai, they were both young and quite handsome boys.

The former had a calm and calm demeanor, as if calm and calm, with Buddhist beads wrapped around his wrists, but he didn't have the slightest kindness and kindness that a Buddhist believer should have.

When you meet those eyes, it's like staring into the abyss, and you will break out in a cold sweat if you are caught off guard.

The appearance is also too beautiful, but after staring at it for a long time, I feel that there is an evil spirit condensed into a knife, as if it wants to choose someone and devour it.

The older generation said that if you are too beautiful, you will become a sha. The reason is unknown, and it is probably like this.

On the other hand, another boy has a natural affinity even if he doesn't smile.At this time, he was wearing a blindfold and sleeping on the shoulder of his companion, who was motionless and maintained the same posture, as if he was worried that a slight noise would wake him up.

In this way, he is a gentle person.

The words of the older generation may not be fully believed.

The plane encountered turbulence and bumped. Luo Bai, who was not a deep sleeper, raised his head. Because he was wearing an eye mask, his eyes were pitch black.He snorted and asked in a nasal voice, "Are you there?"

Li Yan: "No." He picked up warm water and brought it to Luo Bai's lips: "Drink some water."

Luo Bai happened to have a dry mouth, so he took a sip to moisten his parched throat.Every summer, he is prone to lack of water, and there are necrotic skin lumps on his lips.

The tip of his tongue licked a piece of necrotic skin, and Luo Bai was a little annoyed, so he tore off the piece of skin directly, and it was bloodshot and painful.

Li Yan pressed his hand: "You want to tear off the skin?"

Luo Bai: "It's uncomfortable to lick."

There is still a necrotic piece of skin on the lower lip, and I can't help but lick it until it is pulled off. The more I lick it, the more dehydrated it becomes.

Li Yan opened his hand: "Don't move."

He asked the stewardess for a pack of cotton swabs, took out a cotton swab, dipped it in water, moistened Luo Bai's lips little by little, waited until the necrotic skin was soaked in water and soaked his hair, and then carefully rubbed it away little by little.

After confirming that there were no traces of blood, Luo Bai was asked to drink two more glasses of warm water.

After taking off the blindfold, Luo Bai frowned and muttered: "There is no sugar in it."

Li Yan glanced at Luo Bai, his eyes fell on the lips that had been worn into a deep red, and he looked back after a couple of glances.

After Luo Bai drank two glasses of warm water, a cotton swab was stuffed into his hand.

Li Yan: "I moisturize my lips."

Luo Bai looked at Li Yan, moistened his lips and said: "We will probably stay in Pinghan Province for four or five days, and there may be situations where we are not acclimatized or the diet is not to our liking."

He has never been unaccustomed to the environment, and the food in Pinghan Province is too spicy, which is not very friendly to Li Yan.

Li Yan: "I have stayed in Pinghan Province, and I have never experienced acclimatization. There are many people from other places, so the hotel will also provide non-spicy food."

Luo Bai: "That's okay." Throwing away the cotton swab, he looked at the time prompt on the plane: "It's almost here. Pinghan Province has well-developed air routes, but the land transportation is not very good."

There are many hills in Pinghan Province, which are used to plant orchards. Many roads have been built, but there are still many places where the roads are not accessible.

This is also a major reason for the unsalable fruits in Pinghan Province. After all, there are many hills and mountains, and roads are difficult to repair.

..

Half an hour later, the plane landed at the Pinghan Provincial Airport. A group of people walked out, and there were already people waiting outside the airport for a long time.

The Pinghan Provincial Chamber of Commerce sent a special car to pick up the plane, obviously full of sincerity.

At the same time, Luo Bai also noticed that there are quite a lot of business people at the airport, with bags and phones, and most of them come and go in groups.

While walking, I still kept on talking, and when I blurted out, several familiar words popped out of my mouth, such as 'Southern Market', 'Lee Rendezvous', 'Southeast Asia Market' and so on.

Not only Luo Bai noticed, but also Dai Chengcai.

The group of people looked at each other, bowed their heads and whispered, and then it was Dai Chengcai who answered the phone. I don't know what was said on the other end.

In short, Dai Chengcai's expression obviously became serious. After the call ended, he sighed heavily and said, "Pinghan Chamber of Commerce made a stupid decision."

His team asked, "What decision did they make? Do they still need our help?"

Dai Chengcai's expression turned ugly: "They decided to hold an auction!"

Everyone was confused: "Auction what? Fruit?"

What else does the Fruit Merchants Association do besides fruit?

But where is the fruit worth auctioning?Is it possible to return tens of thousands of tons of auctions?

Dai Chengcai: "Auction sales supply rights can only give up benefits if the market cannot be given up. Auctioning fruit supply in a certain area can set a lower limit of a certain price within a certain time limit. Have the source of fruit supply and marketing in the region."

Hearing this, most people didn't react for a while and thought it was a good thing.But if you think about it a little bit, you can figure out how harmful it is.

For example, Wuyou County, Pinghan Province is rich in sweet oranges, and it is set as one of the sources of fruit supply and marketing.

The auction will release this supply and marketing source for auction, assuming that the time limit is five years, and set the minimum price limit to 0.78 yuan per catty.

So as long as the auctioneer obtains this source of supply and marketing, it is equivalent to contracting all the sweet oranges in Wuyou County within five years.

On the surface, it seems to be a good solution to the problem of unsalable fruit in the region.

Because the biggest reason for unsalable fruit is the lack of market, and now that someone directly contracts, farmers can plant with confidence, no matter how good or bad, someone will always pay.

"It seems to be no problem. It can not only solve the disaster of slow sales this year, but also find a good channel for the fruit growers in the next year's market. It is a good solution."

"I don't see a problem either. The only problem is that the price of fruit is slightly lower, but it's much better than rot."

"At least fruit growers can plant with peace of mind and don't have to worry about not being able to sell. The price is low, so just increase the quantity."

"Who came up with a ghost idea, it's okay."

Do not!

In a short period of time, it is a weird idea. It can indeed temporarily solve the problem of fruit farmers, but it is not good for the long-term development of the fruit in the area.

First of all, if the lower limit of the price is set very low, then the price can be reduced to the lowest within the time limit, and a huge and cheap fruit source warehouse can be realized.

If it is resold to the market, and the fruit merchant doubles or triples, then the profit will be doubled.

However, the doubling of the market has nothing to do with fruit farmers.

Then the economy took off, and 92 and 98 were important periods of economic explosion. If the source of fruit supply and marketing was completely controlled by the fruit merchants, it would be equivalent to a monopoly.

Then the market price depends entirely on the fruit merchant.

The cheap fruit is mainly due to the oversupply, and the fruit merchants can completely unite to reverse this situation and form a situation in which the supply exceeds the demand.

Then, the price of fruit will naturally increase, but the fruit growers will not get the benefits they deserve.

Secondly, everyone who does business knows that it is better to give up profits than give up the market.

Giving up profits is only a loss of part of the benefits. Once the market is given up, it will be a loss of long-term benefits. If the gap is opened, it will be a continuous loss of benefits.

Therefore, the holding of the fruit auction in Pinghan Province is mainly to keep the market and give up part of the profits temporarily.

In fact, it is giving up its own market!

Brands play a decisive role in the market. In future generations, many brands in Huaguo are not as good as foreign ones.

For example, automobiles, cosmetics, clothing, etc., there are almost no domestic brands, and they are only cheap brands, and there are no high-end brands.

Because the high-end brand market has been seized by foreign countries in advance, they would rather lose profits than give up brand cultivation and promotion.

Therefore, in future generations, the brand is the most favorable shield in the market competition.

Regional fruits are monopolized, and their own brands cannot develop. When they want to cultivate brands, they will find that there is no place in the market.

The fruit merchant is not an idiot, so he naturally knows how to develop his own brand, but this brand does not belong to Binh Han province.

The fruit merchants are developing markets abroad, and this market does not belong to the fruit farmers in Binh Han Province.

Once separated from the fruit merchants, the fruit source warehouses in Binh Han Province will become a big trouble that cannot be sold and rots.

In order not to be unsalable, fruit farmers and fruit merchants can only reach a long-term cooperation and continue to be squeezed.

Because they don't have their own brands, channels, or markets, they can only rely on fruit vendors.

Five, ten, or 20 years later, fruits in the market cost five yuan or ten yuan a catty, but fruit farmers still pay less than one yuan, and they may not even be able to afford fruit.

Not only fruit farmers, but even the entire fruit market may be controlled by fruit merchants.

The worst case scenario is that fruit sales in other provinces are unsalable, and fruit farmers blindly learn to auction because of anxiety, then the national fruit market will really be monopolized by then.

The fruit growers who grow fruit and the people who eat fruit cannot say a word in the market.

Luo Bai shook his head: "The market balance will be broken."

The market is most afraid of the balance being broken, and only deformed results will be obtained at that time.

Dai Chengcai patted his thigh: "That's right! This idea is a bad idea. It will destroy the fruit market in Pinghan Province in a short period of time, and it will continue to ferment for a long time, affecting the fruit market in other provinces. Some people didn't see it through, and some people I've noticed it a long time ago, otherwise why are so many people rushing here? Do you think they are all here for charity?"

The other two experts explained in a superficial way, which made others understand.

"Since it's such a dangerous idea, how dare the Pinghan Provincial Fruit Traders Association release it?"

"Either you are selfish, or you are stupid!"

"Don't forget, most of the members of the Fruit Business Association are fruit merchants, which is beneficial to them."

"Fruit merchants in other provinces probably heard the news and rushed over. Some fruit merchants are kind and may be willing to raise prices, but some fruit merchants choose to squeeze. That is a disaster for fruit farmers."

"Look, there are also foreign businessmen."

Everyone looked in the direction of the airport through the car windows, and there were indeed several waves of foreign businessmen.

Although I don't know if they came here for the Bengoo auction, but Huaguo is a super big market, and foreign businessmen must take a fancy to this big market.

If you hear the news, you will come naturally.

Luo Bai said in a low voice: "This idea has advantages and disadvantages. It can indeed solve the problem of unsalable sales. But the fruit growers are almost deprived of the right to speak, and it is easy for one company to dominate. Unless there is an institution that can check and balance the fruit merchants and regulate the market."

Li Yan then replied softly: "The Fruit Merchant Association can serve as a balancing institution, but it doesn't necessarily have the ability."

There are no legal restrictions, interests come first, and everyone can turn into a greedy beast.

Luo Bai murmured: "I can't get involved."

What a headache.

The monopoly of the fruit shop, as far as his cooperative is concerned, at most the fruit market channel is diverted, and it will not bring much profit damage.

His agricultural machinery can still be sold, there is no need to mix it in, and it can't be mixed in.

He just wants to be a middleman, and once he gets involved, he becomes a contractor.

Fruit sales, processing, deep processing, and market channels all have to be busy, how can I remember it?

He is not a professional and qualified fruit merchant, so there is no way to get him.

It seems that this trip to Pinghan Province is destined to be in vain.

Li Yan put his palm on Luo Bai's head, touching the soft hair with his palm, he was a little dazed for a moment.

"Do you want to go back then?"

Luo Bai was silent for a moment: "Let's have a look again."

Let's see who the biggest winner is.

Li Yan: "Yes."

It's nothing to do with him, whether it is a fruit farmer or a fruit merchant, who is proud and who is miserable has nothing to do with him.

The nature of a businessman is to seek profit.In other words, as long as you ask for something, your nature is to pursue interests, and it has nothing to do with good or evil.

In Li Yan's view, there is nothing wrong with it.

He has no sympathy or sense of urgency. If this fruit auction is beneficial to him, then he will also participate.

Ping Han and his party were just to accompany Luo Bai.

..

Before the fruit auction started, Luo Bai went to Fang Yi's hometown, Pingyao County.

Pingyao produces grapes and cherries. The cherries are big and juicy, and the price in the southern market is very high, selling for 15 yuan a catty.

But in Pingyao, nearly half of them could not be sold.

Because of the long distance, high air freight costs, slow trains, hot weather and underdeveloped cold chain logistics, there is almost no sale in the south, and the market is blank.

Seeing the cherries in the garden, Luo Bai grinned his teeth in distress: "You said that if I had a more complete cold chain logistics, all of them would be shipped to the south, so they wouldn't be sold out?"

Fang Yi's father didn't understand what cold chain logistics is, but he knew the word 'sold out', and asked, "Can it be shipped there?"

Luo Bai regretted: "No, it will all die halfway."

Father Fang smoked a dry cigarette and coughed twice: "My cherry orchard rots by dozens of catties every day, which is not bad. My family is watching and protecting it every day. Others are not as meticulous as me. Every day It rotted over a hundred catties, and after ten days passed, it was over a thousand catties."

Luo Bai squatted next to Old Father Fang: "The market price of cherries must be seven or eight yuan, and this thousand catties would cost seven to eight thousand yuan to throw in the mud."

Father Fang waved his hand: "Normally, that's about the number of dead ones every year."

Luo Bai narrowed his eyes and asked him, "Have you never thought about further processing?"

Father Fang was taken aback: "What deep processing?"

Luo Bai: "Process it into canned fruit, dried fruit, snacks and the like."

Most of the canned food nowadays is fruit, but it is expensive and most people cannot afford it, so there are not many factories that process canned fruit.

But dried fruit can do it. There are a wide variety of dried fruit in later generations, and many people love it as a leisure snack.

Father Fang: "The nearest canned fruit processing factory is already full this year. It doesn't harvest much every year, and most of them are canned peaches and sweet citrus fruits. If fresh fruits can't be sold, why would anyone buy canned food?"

Luo Bai rubbed his fingers, the market is so empty, it's no wonder that nearly half of the fruits in Pinghan Province are unsalable.

He pondered for a moment, then asked Father Fang: "Where is the nearest canned fruit factory?"

Father Fang: "I'll take you there."

Luo Bai smiled and said, "Thank you."

He turned his head, looked at Li Yan who was leaning against the car door, waved his hand in greeting, and then ran over: "Let's go to the nearby fruit processing factory."

Li Yan handed him a handkerchief: "Wipe the sweat."

Luo Bai took the handkerchief, held Li Yan's hand behind his back, and stuck it to his cheek, which was very cool and comfortable.

He sighed: "It's like jade, super comfortable."

Luo Bai made an inch of it, and wanted to stick it on the refreshing and clean Li Yan to lower his own temperature.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Li Yan pinched Luo Bai's hands and pushed him away from him: "Wipe off your sweat before approaching me."

Luo Bai wiped his face indiscriminately: "Sweat smells like a man!"

Li Yan couldn't see it, took the towel, clamped Luo Bai's chin and wiped it clean for him bit by bit.

Luo Bai cooperated very well, squinting his eyes comfortably, and after wiping his face, he turned his back on his own initiative and lifted up his T-shirt, revealing his white and green torso.

Sweat dripped down the spine of the torso and slid into the hollow of the tail.

Li Yan's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and said in a hoarse voice: "The back...wipe it yourself."

Luo Bai turned his head: "Brother, help people to the end."

Li Yan had already thrown the towel to him, opened the car door and went in, before closing the car door, he said: "Let me see sweat, or smell sweat, and you don't get in the car."

Luo Bai: "..."

Brother, is it appropriate for you to be ruthless?
