Chapter 381: Robbing money?
"Greenhouse? What does this mean?" Yang Jinsheng didn't know anything about farming, so naturally he didn't know what a greenhouse was.
"It's just putting up a layer of shelves in the field and covering it with plastic sheeting. It's not really plastic sheeting, it's just a film. I heard that Beijing has already started doing this, and they're also growing strawberries."
For this, Xiao Sun even went to Beijing to observe for a while, which naturally cost him a lot of money.
"Oh, I see. This is mainly for keeping warm in winter, so the strawberries won't freeze to death. Is that what you mean?"
"Well, that's about right. It also rains. Strawberries are prone to getting sick and rotting when it rains. If they are grown in a greenhouse, the yield will be higher."
Yang Jinsheng nodded thoughtfully, "It seems like we can really give it a try if you put it that way."
Xiao Sun clapped his hands and smiled, "Of course, big brother, listen to me, the strawberries here are basically grown outdoors, and the earliest they mature is in May, so they are not that sweet. The ones we grow in greenhouses are different. We start planting in August or September, and they are basically available in late January. They are also sweeter, so they can naturally sell for a high price."
"No matter how high the price is, someone has to buy it. Outdoor-grown strawberries are sold for more than five yuan per pound. Your greenhouse also has costs. How much do you plan to sell it for per pound?"
Zhao Yita felt that he didn't even want to buy strawberries that cost five yuan, and he wouldn't even look at them if they cost more than five yuan.
"You don't have to worry too much about this. As long as the taste and appearance are good, there will be no problem of no one buying it. There are still many people who are rich and willing to spend money."
Xiao Sun smiled and said, "Brother Yang is right. Don't worry about sales. I have connections here."
Yang Jinsheng glanced at his mother and mother-in-law and said, "How about this, you calculate how much money it will cost? If it's suitable, we can do it together. You know, my parents are old, and you still have to do the main things, so we will invest in capital and you will invest in technology, what do you think?"
Xiao Sun smiled and nodded, "Brother Yang, that's what I mean. If you want me to pay, I really can't give it to you, but I do have the skills."
"Okay, then let's put it this way. You go back and make a plan, and then I'll help my parents to review it. Mom, are you satisfied with this?" Yang Jinsheng looked at them and asked.
Sun Erni nodded, "That's good enough. Just wait, we will definitely make money."
“Yes, Xiao Sun, just tell me how much money you need, and we can all pool our money together to build this strawberry greenhouse.” Chen Cui’e felt that she was full of energy now.
…
"So you also think this strawberry greenhouse is reliable?" Jiang Xinbai asked immediately after hearing what her husband said.
"Well, I think it's feasible, provided the early stage management is good. I've made inquiries, and they have indeed started growing strawberries in greenhouses in Beijing. In January this year, the supply was in short supply in Beijing. Can you guess how much they sell for per pound?" Yang Jinsheng asked with a smile after glancing at his wife.
"Let me see, it's five yuan a pound here, but it's probably seven or eight yuan a pound in Beijing!"
"No, 25 to 31 pounds,"
"Oh my god, is this eating gold? Is there anyone who buys it even though it's so expensive?" This is much more expensive than pork.
Yang Jinsheng waved his hand and replied, "It's not more expensive than gold. When it was first released, I heard it was sold for 31 yuan per pound, and then it slowly dropped to 15 or 10 yuan per pound. But when it was most expensive, it was also when it was the largest and tasted the best."
“But this is really too expensive…”
"You think it's expensive, but rich people don't! Let me ask you, Xinxin wants to eat 31 kilograms of strawberries, will you buy them for her?"
"This," Jiang Xinbai hesitated.
"Xinxin is watching other children eating strawberries with eager eyes, and you are reluctant to buy them for her?" Yang Jinsheng added upon seeing this.
"Buy, buy two kilograms. How can we let the child watch others eat? It's not like we can't afford it." Jiang Xinbai blurted out.
Yang Jinsheng spread his hands and said with a smile: "Look, you bought it, didn't you? Anyone with a little money at home will buy it for their children. And pregnant women who want to have a taste of it will buy it after gritting their teeth. Of course, the main consumer group is still those who are not short of money."
"It's true what you said."
"Of course. Xiao Sun said he wanted to grow some kind of cream strawberry. He said it was big and sweet, and had a milky flavor. Didn't mom give us a small basket of it last year? I ate one and it was delicious. Didn't you eat any?"
"I didn't eat any. I gave them all to Xinxin. Isn't that why the child loves to eat them?" Jiang Xinbai regretted not trying any of them now. She was also feeling greedy after hearing what her husband said.
"Let's give it a try. As long as we invest money, it will be fine." Now their annual rental income alone is over 100,000 yuan, plus the dividends from the vegetable market are around 2 million yuan, and there are also dividends from foreign supermarkets. This makes a total of more than 3 million yuan in income this year. They are not afraid even if the greenhouse strawberries lose money in the end.
"That's right. It's better for the two moms to ask to grow strawberries than to ask to buy some health supplements. Those are really scams!"
Jiang Xinbai shook his head as he spoke. The eldest sister living downstairs spent a lot of money on health products every month. The storage room at home was filled with bottles and jars, but there was nothing good about her.
While Jiang Xinbai was still complaining about health supplements, Su Qiuyan came to find Li Huifen with a big bag.
"Sister-in-law, look at what this is?" Su Qiuyan looked very mysterious.
Li Huifen glanced at him and asked, "What? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Pooh, pooh, I'm fine, sister-in-law, you just hope I'll be okay!" Su Qiuyan rolled her eyes at her. How could she say someone was in poor health right away? Sister-in-law, what a fool.
"Then why did you suddenly come to see me?" Although the three sisters-in-law all live in Shenzhen, they are all busy with their own things. It is considered a lot to see each other once a month. The last time I saw Su Qiuyan was during the Chinese New Year!
"Hey, haven't I brought you something good? Didn't you say last time that your waist was uncomfortable? Look, it's this plaster, made in Sakura Country. It will get better immediately after you apply it." Su Qiuyan said as she took out a bag of plasters printed with foreign languages from her bag.
"Oh, is this true? I've been to the hospital for my back pain, and the doctor told me to take good care of myself. But I still have to take care of the kids and do housework, so how can I have time to relax?"
As Li Huifen spoke, she supported her old waist. She was destined to be a hard worker. She had to take care of the old and then the young. She didn't know when she could take a break.
"So, I brought it to you today. Come, let me try it on you," Su Qiuyan said as she tore open a plaster and applied it directly to Li Huifen's waist with a click.
"How is it? Do you feel warm? Numb? Your waist doesn't hurt as much anymore?"
"Hey," Li Huifen touched her waist, feeling it carefully, and then smiled, "Hey, it's true, it's warm, and it seems that my waist doesn't hurt anymore. Qiuyan, where did you buy this plaster, and how much is it?"
Su Qiuyan smiled proudly, "Sister-in-law, this plaster is not cheap, one patch costs twenty yuan!"
"Twenty? Robbery?" Li Huifen screamed.
