Yu Jun got straight to the point, saying, "Your grandfather's health has improved a lot recently. He eats and drinks normally and can take care of himself."
"That's great!" Yu Hui beamed.
"But......"
Yu Jun hesitated for a moment before saying, "Your grandfather and I had a big fight yesterday."
"Why?" Yu Hui asked, frowning.
In his memory, his grandfather was always an honest, kind, and amiable man who rarely argued with anyone.
Why!
Yu Jun sighed and began to explain.
“Yesterday he carried a basket of watermelons and insisted on going to the street to sell them. He has only just recovered from his illness, and the doctor said he shouldn’t do heavy work, so of course I was not happy about it.”
"I immediately stopped him, but he immediately yelled at me: 'Are you planning to let all these watermelons rot in the field?'"
"......"
After learning what had happened, Yu Hui fell into deep thought.
Yu Jun was always worried about his father's health and didn't want him to overwork.
Grandpa Yu Hui, having lived through the old era, was very frugal with food.
They were afraid the watermelons would rot in the field and they wouldn't be able to sell them.
When two people with different views come together, conflicts are bound to occur.
There is no right or wrong, just different perspectives.
"Sigh!" Yu Jun sighed repeatedly. "It's not that I don't understand him."
"It's just that they can't bear to part with those few acres of watermelons, isn't it?"
"I understand! I understand everything!"
"But even if he carries a basket of watermelons to sell every day, he still won't be able to sell them all, and they will all go to waste in the end."
"Doesn't your food street have milk tea stalls?"
"I was thinking, could I sell these watermelons to them as raw materials? The price is negotiable!"
Yu Hui listened patiently and replied, "No problem."
"But suppliers usually deliver to your door..."
“That’s no problem,” Yu Jun said. “As long as you can communicate well, you can leave the door-to-door visit to me.”
"Even if I have to buy another used van, I'm still going to take this job!"
"Okay, just wait for my good news."
After hanging up the phone, Yu Hui pursed his lips and began to think.
Besides Ye Qian, there are two other beverage vendors on the food street.
One vendor specializes in lemon tea, while another specializes in "Yangmei Iced Rice Balls" and some shaved ice drinks.
Watermelon is a seasonal fruit and is very popular.
Ye Qian's family alone can sell more than a dozen watermelon-themed drinks a day.
If Yu Hui remembers correctly, their store also offers a 500ml bottle of freshly squeezed watermelon juice.
This one drink alone requires about 750 to 1000 grams, and that's without the skin.
Grandpa's watermelons never have to worry about selling.
However, when selling these watermelons to them, the price will definitely be driven down very low.
after all.
This year, watermelons from many producing areas are experiencing sluggish sales.
Farmers who grow watermelons on a large scale are worried that they won't be able to sell their watermelons.
This led to a price war.
A few days ago, Yu Hui saw on Douyin that a netizen said that watermelons in his area were only selling for 28 cents a pound.
It truly shocked him!
"Qianqian, if I may ask, how much do you buy watermelons per kilogram?" Yu Hui walked up to Ye Qian and asked in a low voice.
Yu Hui and Ye Qian sell different categories of products, so they are not in competition with each other; on the contrary, they complement each other.
In addition, the two had a good relationship.
Ye Qian also trusted Yu Hui a lot.
So she blurted out, "Forty-eight cents!"
“Okay!” Yu Hui nodded.
The watermelon market is bad this year, and many watermelon farmers have lost money.
Taking Chuanshan Town as an example, it initially sold for three or five yuan per kilogram, but the price gradually decreased later.
The price is currently around one yuan per kilogram.
The cost price of these milk tea stalls is about half that of the market price.
This means...
A watermelon of the same weight can sell for 100 yuan on the street, but only 50 yuan to these milk tea stall owners.
Yu Hui knows her grandfather very well.
Without even a second thought, he definitely wouldn't be willing to sell with such a huge price difference.
So what is the best way to achieve both?
After thinking for a moment, he came up with a bold idea.
Or you could release a watermelon-based beverage and bundle it with your product for sale?
Spend a total of 50 yuan and add another 18 yuan to get a free cup of freshly squeezed watermelon juice – absolutely fresh!
In the scenic area, a serving of freshly squeezed watermelon juice for 18 yuan is already very cheap.
On a sweltering summer mountaintop, enjoying a glass of chilled watermelon juice is truly delightful!
Yu Hui thought this method was feasible.
then.
He then told Ye Qian his thoughts and sincerely said to her:
"Can we cooperate? I'll provide the raw materials, you provide the technology, and we'll split the profits."
Making freshly squeezed watermelon juice is very simple.
Simply put the chopped watermelon into the juicer, and then choose to add ice or room temperature according to the customer's request.
Yu Hui could handle this simple task by himself.
The reason he wanted to cooperate with Ye Qian was simply to avoid taking away her business.
When it comes to interpersonal relationships, our Brother Hui is still very adept at handling them!
Ye Qian now sells a glass of freshly squeezed watermelon juice for 25 yuan.
Compared to the price of Yu Hui, she can earn an extra 7 yuan for each unit she sells.
But freshly squeezed watermelon juice isn't very popular with Ye Qian.
At most, we can only sell one or two cups a day.
If we cooperate with Yu Hui, we might be able to earn even more.
"Okay! Sure!" Ye Qian readily agreed.
