Early the next morning, Lin Tao called a car and drove directly to the 8424 watermelon planting greenhouse in Nanhui, a suburb.

Looking around, rows of watermelon greenhouses are spectacular.

The wholesale market usually pulls 3,000 to 5,000 kilograms at a time, which is far from satisfying Lin Tao's appetite.

As long as the quantity of watermelon purchased is large, the cost will be lower if it is harvested directly from the production area.

At first, the local melon farmers thought Lin Tao was an individual customer and ignored him. When Lin Tao proposed a one-time purchase of 100,000 kilograms, several melon farmers came to quote.

Lin Tao currently has 80,000 yuan, all of which is invested in purchasing watermelons, which is about 100,000 jins.

"Young man, do you work in a company or run a supermarket chain?"

"It takes 100,000 jins at once. It's not enough for one household, but two or three households together."

"It's hot this year, so watermelons are selling very fast. When others get goods, the minimum price is 8 cents."

Lin Tao walked around the field to find out the market conditions.

He also cut open a few melons and tasted them, whether they were good or bad.

Lin Tao has a "Fruit Attribute Spell System" that can change the sweetness of fruits. As long as the melons are fresh and round, he doesn't worry about eating them.

"Eight cents is too expensive. I want 100,000 catties. Can it be cheaper?" Lin Tao counter-offered.

Several melon farmers looked at each other and felt that Lin Tao knew a little about watermelons and could not fool him.

"There are melons worth 7 cents, but they are not cooked yet." A melon farmer quoted.

"Let's go, take me to the greenhouse." Lin Tao said.

Under the leadership of the melon farmer, Lin Tao walked into a watermelon greenhouse. There were many watermelons on the ground and the canes were green and green. Compared with what he had seen in the greenhouse before, the watermelons here were smaller.

These 8424 watermelons are about 5 days away from being truly ripe, commonly known as eight-mature.

"This year, dealers are harvesting these eight-ripe melons, which are cheap," said a melon farmer.

Many melon dealers come to collect watermelons and don't care about the quality of the watermelons. They just look at the price. The lower the better.

Medium-ripe melons have a short growth cycle. They are picked and ripened slowly. On the one hand, they can be launched first, and on the other hand, the sales cycle is also longer. There is a large market and they have become the first choice of melon dealers.

The only drawback is that some watermelons are not sweet enough and the ratio of raw melons is high.

Normally ripe 8424 watermelon has a sweetness of 11-14 degrees, while eight-ripe watermelon has a slightly lower sweetness.

The popularity of eight-ripe watermelons is due to market rules. Melons that are too ripe tend to rot easily and have a short sales cycle.

"Okay, I want this 7-cent melon!" Lin Tao made up his mind and said.

He doesn't care much about the sweetness of the watermelon. It doesn't matter if it's 1 cent cheaper. After all, 1 cent is real money.

Since bulk melons do not require packaging, Lin Tao only needs to contact a vehicle to pick them directly from the greenhouse and then deliver them to his store.

He made an agreement with the melon farmers to deliver the goods tomorrow evening, and Lalamove and the unloading workers have also been contacted.

Putting all the expenses together, Lin Tao calculated that the store price of these 100,000 catties of 8,424 watermelons would be around 1.2 yuan per catty.

100,000 kilograms of watermelon sounds scary. In fact, a watermelon generally weighs 8 to 10 kilograms. It is common for fruit shops to sell several thousand kilograms of watermelon a day.

During his free time, Lin Tao also cleaned the store, replaced the cash register, and bought some plastic bag consumables and a watermelon knife.

He is full of expectations. This batch of 8424 watermelons should be as popular as lychees.

Now everything is ready, just waiting for the arrival of watermelon...

At around 7 p.m. the next day, two Iveco trucks loaded with 100,000 kilograms of 8,424 watermelons arrived as scheduled.

It took six unloading workers to unload the watermelons together.

Zhang Dehua, the owner of the "Xiao Zhang Fruit Shop" opposite, was dumbfounded when he saw it. Lin Tao had suppressed his big move. He had two carts of watermelons, and he couldn't sell so many watermelons in a month.

In Lin Tao's eyes, these watermelons are his source of wealth.

"Are you crazy? You bought so many watermelons?" Zhang Dehua was confused.

The profits of watermelons are very thin, so I would rather buy less and sell more, otherwise I will suffer a big loss if it falls into my own hands.

Of course, Zhang Dehua has no idea that Lin Tao holds the trump card of the system.

Now, there are 8424 watermelons in Zhang Dehua's store, selling for 3.18 yuan per pound. Lin Tao bought so many watermelons at once, which put a lot of pressure on him.

"Honey, this guy has bought a large amount of watermelon. I'm afraid the price will be reduced. From tomorrow, our melons will sell for 2.98 yuan per pound!" Zhang Dehua said to his wife.

The price of his watermelons at the store is about 2.3 yuan, not counting losses.

Even though Lin Tao has a lot of purchases, his cost price is lower than Zhang Dehua's, but if it fails to sell, he will suffer huge losses.

"Xiao Lin is so reckless in what he does. He was probably deceived by the melon dealer." Wan Hong continued.

She also felt that it was completely unnecessary for Lin Tao to take in so many watermelons at once.

"He's still a little young when it comes to selling watermelons. Anyway, we'll see how much his watermelons sell for tomorrow, and we'll tell him what to do. He has tens of thousands of kilograms of watermelons, and I'll let him get stuck in the store and he won't be able to sell them!" Zhang Dehua said with a smile.<

/p>

He was even prepared to fight against Lin Tao's price, even if he didn't make money, Lin Tao would not be able to sell watermelons.

Let’s see how he turns around this time!

Six workers plus Lin Tao took more than three hours to unload 100,000 kilograms of watermelon.

The workers were so tired that they were sweating profusely.

Lin Tao bought them salt soda and gave them money for late-night snacks. Every penny was worth the service. Of the 100,000 kilograms of watermelons, less than 20 were cracked.

As soon as the workers left, Lin Tao quickly closed the door of the shop and looked at the big green watermelons in the room, feeling excited.

These watermelons are not enough to excite him. He is looking forward to the moment when "the ugly duckling turns into a swan".

【Ding!】

[It has been detected that the host is located at No. 100 Pudu Road and meets the conditions for using skills. Do you want to use the "preservation" or "sweetness" skills on this batch of watermelons?]

【Yes/No】

Lin Tao confirmed "yes" with his eyes, and then selected the "Sweetness" skill.

[Sweetness skill can increase the sweetness of fruits by about 5 points. This effect can last for 6 days (LV2)]

【Yes/No】

Hoho!

Directly increase the sweetness by 5?

If the sweetness of watermelon reaches 16 or 17, it is equivalent to the sweetness of mango and persimmon, and it tastes better!

After all, sweetness is so important to a fruit, it is even synonymous with deliciousness.

Lin Tao did not hesitate and immediately confirmed [Yes] with his eyes.

【Ding!】

[The "Sweetness" skill is in use, currently loaded at 5%, and the remaining time is 6 minutes]

[After the system is loaded, the watermelon will soon reach a sweetness value of no less than 16, and the duration will be 6 days (LV2)]

This moment is coming, Lin Tao closes his eyes, as if he can hear the sound of his own heartbeat.

【Ding!】

[The "Sweetness" skill is 100% loaded!]

When Lin Tao heard this, he immediately picked up the watermelon knife and slashed hard at a big watermelon.

The bright red juice gushes out like spring water and has a melon fragrance.

Lin Tao hurriedly dug out a piece of watermelon flesh and put it into his mouth. The sweet and fragrant juice immediately filled his mouth.

"Sweet, really sweet..." Even Lin Tao was intoxicated.

After system optimization, the sweetness of watermelon has risen to an incredible level!

It can be said that this is the most delicious watermelon he has ever eaten in his life.
Chapter completed!
