Chapter 8: Mango, Watermelon, Strawberry, Lychee, Grape, Pineapple
Jiang Rong was not very familiar with this place, so before arriving at the Hai City Fruit Wholesale Market, she searched the overall layout of the area on the Internet.
It is divided into six major areas in total, namely the mango area on the west, the northern fruit area in the middle, the watermelon area in the northeast, the cold storage in the east, the grape area in the southeast and the Hami melon area in the south.
The entire wholesale market trading shed covers an area of 20,000 square meters.
Jiang Rong first went to the mango area in the west. Because the entire area was very large, Jiang Rong also scanned a solar-powered yellow car and rode it all the way to the mango area.
Although it is called the mango area, it does not only sell mangoes. Almost all other fruits are sold there, such as dragon fruit, coconut, banana, pineapple, strawberry, lychee, watermelon, grapes, cantaloupe, etc., almost everything is available, but some are out-of-season fruits and may not taste as good as those in season.
But there is nothing we can do about it, since the dog disaster happened in January.
Jiang Rong was riding his shared yellow bike while looking at the fruit shops on both sides of the street. Generally speaking, the configurations of each shop were almost the same, and the fruits they sold were also similar.
So she finally just picked one at random and walked in.
These fruit wholesale shops are all the same, with a stall outside selling a variety of fruits.
Then when I entered the house, I saw boxes of fruit everywhere, piled high. In addition to the area visible from the outside, there was also a large warehouse behind the house, which contained even more fruit, almost all of which were also in boxes.
Because it was not early at this time and it was almost noon, there were not many customers in the store. Jiang Rong first walked around the store to look at the various fruits, and then went outside to buy a bunch of ready-cut pineapples and a grilled starch sausage and started to eat them happily.
The grilled starch sausage was bought from a roadside food truck.
There are usually a lot of people here, so there are also a number of food trucks selling snacks.
Jiang Rong ate something to fill her stomach first. By the time she finished the pineapple and grilled starch sausage, there were almost no customers in the store they had just entered.
The bright-looking young boss looked at the customer who was leaving and coming back, and asked with a smile: "What else do you want to buy, beautiful girl? We have a wide variety of fruits."
What this means is that you can buy whatever you want from them.
Jiang Rong nodded and asked, "I want to ask how much mangoes are sold here?"
"My dear, do you want to buy them in bulk? Or in a whole box? Do you want a large quantity? The prices are different." The proprietress asked patiently.
"It's a lot, a whole box, please."
In Jiang Rong's impression, wholesale in boxes is definitely cheaper than bulk.
In addition, if time was not tight and she had to save time to buy other things, she could just go directly to an orchard for wholesale, and the price would probably be cheaper.
"A box of mangoes usually weighs 10 kilograms. Small mangoes cost 40 yuan, medium mangoes cost 50 yuan, and large mangoes cost 60 yuan. If you buy a lot, I can give you an 8% discount."
"Can I try one first?"
I am still quite cautious when buying ginger fruit. I always have to taste it first to see how it tastes.
"Sure, little beauty, you can pick one for yourself." The young proprietress didn't seem unhappy at all when she heard Jiang Rong say that, and she still had a smile on her face.
Of course, this is based on the premise that the customer buys a large quantity and buys in a whole box. Generally, if you buy in bulk, it is definitely not allowed.
Jiang Rong picked out a mango of decent quality from a stall outside, cut off a piece of flesh with the store's fruit knife and tasted it.
The mango has a strong and sweet flavor. It is a relatively ripe but not bad mango, and the texture is just right.
"Boss, I want 2,000 boxes of medium-sized mangoes."
The total price is 100,000 yuan.
Jiang Rong herself likes to eat mangoes, so the first thing she did when she came here was to run to the mango area.
The mangoes she is buying now are of a small variety. Even if they are medium-sized fruits, they are not too big and may be smaller than the palm of your hand.
Compared with small fruits, the flesh is more abundant, and compared with large fruits, the flesh has a stronger aroma.
"Boss, do you have a lot of watermelons in stock?"
Watermelons are not in season right now, but H Province is located at a low latitude and has a high temperature. Watermelons are still produced even at this time, but the price may be higher.
However, Jiang Rong has money on hand now. Of the 805 million he made from selling jadeite before, after deducting taxes and the money for buying jadeite, he still has a little over 600 million left.
It was enough for her.
"A lot of them. In fact, behind each store here we have its own supply orchard. So even though our area is called the Mango Area, we also sell the same fruits that others sell, and the quality of our fruits is definitely not worse than others. Just buy them with confidence, my little beauty." The young boss continued confidently.
Jiang Rong nodded after hearing this. This was exactly what she wanted. She wouldn't have to run to all six districts one by one. It would be best if she could buy everything in one store.
"Boss, do you have a price list for fruits?" Jiang Rong was too lazy to ask one by one, so he asked again.
"Oh, yes. Wait a moment, I'll get it." When the experienced young boss heard Jiang Rong ask this, he knew that a big customer might have come to his store today. He immediately went back to the house happily and took out a price list of fruits in his store from the drawer of a wooden table.
This price list was not printed, but handwritten by her. She wrote several copies and kept them in a drawer for future use.
Because the price of fruit often changes, she did not print it. Sometimes, something that costs 5 yuan a pound today may drop in price or increase in price in a few days.
You can also flexibly modify what you write.
The boss quickly handed the price list to Jiang Rong who was waiting outside.
Jiang Rong took it and glanced at it briefly.
They are 6 yuan per catty for watermelon, 3 yuan per catty for dragon fruit, 4 yuan per catty for coconut, 2 yuan per catty for banana, 2 yuan per catty for pineapple, 15 yuan per catty for strawberry, 25 yuan per catty for lychee, 7 yuan per catty for grape, 3 yuan per catty for Hami melon, 2.5 yuan per catty for mandarin orange, 3 yuan per catty for sugar orange, 5 yuan per catty for green orange, 6 yuan per catty for ginseng fruit, 10 yuan per catty for longan, 15 yuan per catty for red grape, 3 yuan per catty for kiwi, 5 yuan per catty for apple, 3 yuan per catty for grapefruit, 6 yuan per catty for pear, etc.
After reading it, Jiang Rong started to make a quotation directly.
This time she didn't even want to try it anymore. There were so many that she couldn't taste them all.
The mango I just ate was good, I hope the others will be the same.
"Watermelons, bananas, strawberries, lychees, grapes, oranges, longans, and red grapes, 10,000 kilograms each, and the rest, 5,000 kilograms each."
"Boss, can your store supply these?"
"Sure, please wait a moment." The young boss raised his mouth and responded happily.
At the same time, he was typing on a calculator, calculating the specific price.
"My little beauty, the total value of these you bought is 1,110,500 yuan. Because of the large quantity, we can deliver them to you for free. The shipping fee is not yours, but our service." The young boss said to Jiang Rong with a smile.
Jiang Rong certainly had no objection to this.
She paid half of the deposit first, then left a warehouse address and left.
The warehouse she rented this time also provided her with a warehouse manager free of charge, so she no longer needed to go to the warehouse to receive goods as before.
After buying the fruits, Jiang Rong rode his shared bike to another large trading area nearby.
The vegetable wholesale market, as the name suggests, specializes in trading vegetables.
The vegetable trading area and the fruit trading area here are separated by only a wide road, and the two sides are collectively called the Haishi Fruit and Vegetable Wholesale Market.
However, when Jiang Rong was halfway to the vegetable trading area next door, the cell phone in her pocket suddenly rang.
