Her Cultivation Diary
Chapter 486 - Chapter 486 Goods worth 4.867 million _1

Chapter 486: Goods worth 4.867 million! _1 Chapter 486: Goods worth 4.867 million! _1 Zhang Yanping wanted to speak but hesitated, yet upon reflection on this year’s price for the premium apples from his own family’s orchard–although his fruit wholesale store couldn’t afford such expensive fruit, since someone dared to name such a price, there definitely had to be a market for it.

He gritted his teeth, “Alright!”

At this moment, the two differently colored peelers exchanged a look, sharing a tacit understanding.

And Zhang Yanping thought, “A live broadcast this afternoon? If it’s a live broadcast, I can put up a notice for Qiaoqiao’s live broadcast room, and by the way mention that this is the only live broadcast for the peaches.”

Song Tan then lifted his chin, looking in the direction of Boss Qian, “I think he’s quite tempted, he might really buy a lot…”

It was just uncertain how much daring he had, could he spend 200,000?

Song Tan was not wrong; Boss Qian indeed had this intent.

At this moment, he had finished his phone call and had also heard Boss Wu on the other end asking incoherently about some special fruit seedlings. He realized–

They had a unique channel for planting or grafting.

What did that represent?

It represented that there were no competing products in the market.

Selling fruit was one thing, but establishing good relationships with the customers in the excellent orchards was another indispensable aspect.

Because he operated on his own, relying entirely on repeat customers.

At this moment, Boss Qian was squatting in the courtyard, watching Secretary Xiaozu help pack the peaches wrapped in sponge into boxes one by one.

During this time, Aunt Lianhua even washed one especially for him.

After all, in her simple mind, this was someone coming to purchase fruit; it made sense to let them taste the quality.

Boss Qian, feeling moved and pained, took the peach and crunched into it, meanwhile asking, “You’re packing them now, does that mean you already have orders?”

He grew wary to himself–it couldn’t be that despite this remote location, they already had suppliers contacting them?

“No,” Secretary Xiaozu, busy to the extent of not looking up, replied, “These peaches are delicious; I’m taking a dozen boxes for my family to share first.”

If it were not for the fact that they would be less fresh if kept for too long, she really wanted to take thirty to fifty boxes at once.

After all, once they start getting repeat customers from the live broadcast, it’s another matter altogether whether there will be any extra peaches in Peach Garden for her!

Boss Qian was shocked, “A dozen or twenty boxes? Also at 60 yuan per half kilo?!”

“Yes,” Secretary Xiaozu also sighed, “Fruit has been getting more and more expensive over the years!”

“That’s several thousand…” Boss Qian muttered.

Secretary Xiaozu truly had experience with expensive fruit; sixty yuan per half kilo might be expensive, but also still reasonable.

She then helped persuade him, “It’s okay. Some famous peaches, when they hit the market, are priced at seventy or eighty yuan per half kilo. Those who can’t afford them don’t understand, but those who can afford them don’t look at the price at all. The target customer groups are different.”

There are even local peaches in the market going for ten yuan for three half kilos!

“But I think, even the ones at seventy or eighty yuan aren’t as delicious as these. Besides, when you see good stuff, you have to act quickly, otherwise you won’t even see a shadow of it.”

As she spoke, she thought of the regrets these elders had shared with her over the phone from time to time about not being able to snatch up tobacco leaves, which also struck a chord with her.

After all, now if you brought over a couple of bottles of alcohol, Youde would refuse to take it, naturally making it less likely for her to get a favor in return.

Boss Qian could hear her sincerity, and at the moment was truly astonished.

Indeed, even a small village secretary had such courage and vision, so why was he himself still hesitant?

Reflecting on the fruit he had handled over the years, were there none that were expensive?

One year, the cost price of a variety of honey peaches reached 40 yuan. Were they as delicious as these?

Not at all.

Did they sell?

Yes.

Although it was difficult, he had sold them.

“All we need is a high-end packaging box,” he glanced dissatisfiedly at the plain paper boxes in front of him, which bore only the words “Tian Yuan Memoirs.”

No, that won’t do!

He stood up, “I need to discuss this again–I don’t need the boxes, just pack them in plastic bins! Can you give me a cheaper price?”

He crunched on a peach, his slender body ablaze with fighting spirit, and charged back into the living room.

“Girl, I want 700,000 yuan’s worth of goods, I don’t need your paper box packaging, what price can you give me?”

“Of course, it’s still 6–” Song Tan’s words were not yet finished when she suddenly realized, “700,000 yuan?”

Seeing the serious nod from Mr. Qian, she then hurriedly stood up with Zhang Yanping, “Let’s discuss this.”

Zhang Yanping was also deeply shocked.

He had overheard Mr. Qian’s call; this move was truly a sink-or-swim gamble. Even if there were some inflated figures, the remaining cash flow must be tight.

At that moment, he discussed with Song Tan, “They don’t want our paper box packaging, which reduces the cost by more than three yuan per box, not to mention the savings on packing costs.”

Song Tan also nodded, “By the looks of it, he’s desperate too. We still have several hundred acres of mountain land to manage, let’s leave a good impression first!”

Despite this, Song Tan still felt some regret, “The best strength of my fruits is their deliciousness, there’s really no need to cut prices… What a pity…”

The two exchanged a glance, each understanding why.

Because of time.

The Eagle Beak Peaches were ripe; they couldn’t stay on the tree for long.

But how many strong laborers were there in the village now?

None left.

After the spring, they had packed up and gone off to work, leaving only a few who were still busy in the fields.

If they were really to sell online, picking, sorting, packing, and writing up express forms… they might not even be able to gather enough hands for the entire process!

Zhang Yanping could only advise, “It’s okay to go a bit cheaper. After all, you’re letting Qiaoqiao sell for 60 on the live stream, and if he wholesales at that price, you can’t leave customers feeling aggrieved, right?”

“Besides, with his 700,000 yuan investment, you won’t have to worry about most of your orchard anymore–what’s left can be enjoyed by yourself or sold piecemeal, which is less of a hassle.”

He flipped out his phone, “There’s a lot of heavy rain in summer. The forecast says there might be rain a week from now; whether it will come is another question, but selling now is better than risking rain damage.”

Song Tan sighed, “It’s a shame, Brother Yanping, that your family doesn’t deal in high-end fruits, otherwise you could definitely make a fortune.”

“Let it go,” he replied.

Zhang Yanping thought about his family’s business, which was a headache of its own.

His parents had always been cautious in doing business, a lifelong conservative approach.

This caution was good, as it meant they wouldn’t lose much no matter what, but it also meant there were no breakthroughs or opportunities.

Take Tantan’s peaches, for example: even if they were sold wholesale for 60 yuan per jin, any customer who tried them would surely come back for more.

But the question was, would the couple dare to take that leap?

The most expensive fruit they sold every year was the cherries during the holiday season, and those certainly wouldn’t hit the 60 yuan per jin mark!

If Song Tan were to ask for help in selling her peaches, they would indeed help, but subsequently, they would be worried sick.

So, from the very beginning, Zhang Yanping never considered this option–simply because he knew his parents all too well.

If it hadn’t been for that, why would he have gone through so much trouble to find import fruit resources for his family in the first place?

It was pure persuasion.

Clearly, Song Tan understood this too, as she sighed, “It’s okay, once this batch of fruit is sold, and we’re not so busy, I’ll personally deliver two boxes to each of them.”
