Looking up, Guo Youchui found that his wife was also looking at him.
He asked, "Do you think this is really a good thing?"
Guo Youchui's wife said, "Looking at the driver's attitude, if it's true, this base should be nearby.
You can find out by asking someone."
Guo Youchui nodded. As a rural uncle with a natural social savvy, asking for directions was extremely easy.
After he went around and chatted with five "fellow villagers", he actually found out the location of the Ai Xin Zhu Nong fruit wine production base.
And it’s not far, just three kilometers away by car.
After Guo Youchui turned a few intersections, he saw a long line of melon carts in front of him from afar.
When he saw Guo Youchui, a young man wearing the uniform of the "Love to Help Farmers Fruit Wine Production Base" immediately ran over and asked him to line up at the back.
Guo Youchui asked hurriedly, "Young man, are you really charging 70 cents per pound for these watermelons?"
The young man had obviously answered countless similar questions, but he still showed no impatience: "Uncle, the price we buy watermelons for is 20 cents per pound."
Guo Youchui felt a chill in his heart, and he knew that there was no such good thing.
Unexpectedly, the young man said, "But the 'Love to Help Farmers Fruit Wine Production Base' not only offers the normal purchase price, but also provides a 50-cent per pound subsidy to help farmers."
Guo Youchui was a little confused: "Love aid agricultural subsidies? What does that mean?"
"What this means is that if the watermelons are grown on your own land, in addition to the market price, there's also a subsidy price, so you can get 70 cents per pound."
"Really? Then why not just charge 70 cents per pound? Why go through all this trouble?"
The young man smiled slightly and said, "Uncle, you don't understand this.
Our charity to help farmers is aimed at helping the melon farmers who were affected by the disaster this year.
If you meet a watermelon vendor, we will buy the watermelons from you at 20 cents per pound, and then sell them to us at 70 cents.
Then our loving subsidies to help farmers will lose their due meaning.
It's also a huge loss for the farmers, don't you think?"
When he thought of the melon vendor, Guo Youchui immediately nodded in agreement.
Guo Youchui's wife, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly asked, "Then how do you distinguish between melon farmers and melon vendors?"
The young man smiled and said, "It's very simple. When you sell melons, you just need to provide your household registration booklet and land use certificate.
If you are leasing someone else’s land, you will also need to provide a land lease contract.”
"Is that so?" Guo Youchui was a little embarrassed. "That thing is at home. I didn't bring it with me."
"You can go home and get it in the end. Of course, if it's really inconvenient, you can ask your family to take a photo and send it to you."
"Is that so? Thank you, young man."
Guo Youchui hurriedly drove to queue up, and taking photos was very simple.
My son is at home on summer vacation. Although he is only in junior high school, he is very good at using his mobile phone.
This glorious task can be entrusted to him.
Although the melon-selling team was long, they moved quickly. An hour later, they were holding a thick stack of money. Guo Youchui stood there for a long time, unable to believe it was real.
Did you really sell your melons for 70 cents per pound?
Although this price cannot be compared with last year, times have changed. It is a blessing to be able to get 70 cents, and I dare not ask for too much.
Suddenly, he slapped his forehead.
This is only the first car, you have to know that our family has fifteen acres of land!
Nine acres of the land are rented from a neighbor, and additional certification is required if I want to sell it.
Not daring to stay any longer, Guo Youchui drove the tractor home in a hurry.
In the following days, he mobilized his entire family. His parents and wife picked melons in the fields, and he took them here to sell them.
I also brought my son along, and let him take over for a while when I got tired of driving.
After all, 70 cents per pound is a rare opportunity. If the Love to Help Farmers Fruit Wine Production Base announces that it will stop accepting products one day, it will be a big loss.
However, Guo Youchui’s melons were not sold out after all.
It’s not that there’s a problem with the Ai Xin Zhu Nong fruit wine production base, but as a large number of watermelons were purchased, the market price of watermelons began to rise, and even 80 cents was not a problem to sell them.
With the higher price, Guo Youchui would naturally not be stupid enough to run dozens of kilometers again.
Forty-five days later, when the watermelons were completely off the market, Guo Youchui counted his income and found that he had earned nearly 90,000 yuan.
Although the result was far from what I expected when I planted the melons, at least my family did not have to work in vain.
After all, if it really only costs one or two cents from start to finish, that would be really heartbreaking.
Guo Youchui was relieved, but Jiao Yucheng felt uncomfortable.
He acquired several wineries in key watermelon-growing areas across the country and converted them into fruit wine production bases to purchase and produce watermelon wine.
Money was spent like water, and watermelon wine was produced in large quantities.
However, when this type of wine was put on the market in the conventional way, the response was not good.
He conducted a special market research and found many problems.
First of all, the positioning of watermelon wine is very vague.
If you say it is wine, you hardly feel like drinking much alcohol.
Moreover, customers who like alcohol prefer beer to cool down in the summer, while they prefer white wine for social occasions.
Not much red wine can be sold, let alone this kind of fruit wine.
The only relatively famous apple cider vinegar of the same type is called "Tian Di Yi Hao".
But this kind of wine is only popular in Guangdong Province, and other parts of the country are not interested in it at all.
If it weren't wine, the competition would be even more intense.
Coke, Sprite, juice, functional drinks, etc., hundreds of kinds.
Even some fresh or yogurt products, I can't help but want to try them.
