Shen Chi thought in his mind that although Manager Zhao was from the R&D department, he was a businessman. He said he raised the price for his father, but the quality of the ginseng grown by his father was not as good as the ones he grew every day, but compared with the wild ginseng in the mountains. I don't know how much stronger it is.
It sounds like he suffered a loss, but in fact it was not a loss at all.
"Let's do this. I agree to sell you half of the ginseng in my field." Shen Chi said to Manager Zhao.
Half? Buying the whole thing is not enough. What can half be used for?
"Half is too little, you sell it all to me, and I'll pay you two and a half dollars for the stuff in your field. I'm willing to sign a five-year supply and sales contract with you, and you won't have to worry about selling your salvia for these five years." Manager Zhao increased the price again.
Shen Chi wanted to keep half of it to exchange for spiritual energy, but when he heard that Manager Zhao seemed determined to buy all his salvia, Shen Chi thought for a while and said, "Has your price been two and a half yuan in the past five years?"
Manager Zhao nodded, thinking that Shen Chi was very satisfied with the plan, but Shen Chi said, "What if the price of Salvia miltiorrhiza rises to five or ten yuan in the past five years? Wouldn't I lose money?"
"How is this possible?" Manager Zhao felt that Shen Chi was just a child speaking out of whims.
Shen Chi told Manager Zhao solemnly: "I promise to sell it to you, but we can only sign the contract year by year.
As for the price, the quality of the salvia from my dad’s two acres of land is not bad at all, and the lowest price is probably one yuan. As for the ones from my field, it’s only three yuan a pound.”
Year-by-year signings? That's fine too. As for the price mentioned by Shen Chi, it was within the range that Manager Zhao could bear. After some thought, he gritted his teeth and agreed. As long as Shen Chi was willing to sell the shares to him, anything could be said.
The ginseng in Shen Chi's field had been harvested once in order to exchange spiritual energy. At this time, it was only the size of ordinary ginseng. Shen Chi asked them to come back in a few months, but the ginseng in Shen Chang's forest was ready to be harvested.
Manager Zhao immediately said that he would take back Shen Changlin's participation first.
Suddenly, Shen Chi and Shen Changlin couldn't harvest all the ginseng from the two acres of land. Shen Chi had to go to the production room to find his godmother Liu Cuihua, and asked her to bring a female worker to help dig ginseng, and the wages were paid.
Forty female workers dug the ginseng in half a day, then picked off the big ones and kept the smaller ones for a while before planting them again.
Shen Changlin borrowed a large scale and weighed it one by one. The total amount was more than 10,700 jins. Manager Zhao calculated it as 10,800 jins.
This time, Shen Changlin directly sold the salvia miltiorrhiza for more than 10,000 yuan. When Manager Zhao was paying, Aunt Zhou and others happened to come to Shen Aizhi to get the goods. They caught up with Shen Changlin selling ginseng and watched the excitement. Everyone was stunned to see Shen Changlin's ginseng sold for so much money, which was an astronomical figure in rural areas at that time.
Growing ginseng in one year can lead to a “ten thousand-yuan household”. It is really incredible when everyone is barely able to meet the food and clothing problem.
This is because they don't know that Shen Chi's ginseng has not been sold yet. If Shen Chi's is included, they might be shocked.
After weighing the scales and loading the ginseng, Shen Changlin happened to have a hand to hold the ginseng. Manager Zhao immediately said that he would hire Shen Changlin to deliver the ginseng to him. Shen Changlin agreed, but he couldn't hold it with a hand, so he went to call for help again. Sun Fuqiang.
Taking advantage of the opportunity when his father went to call his godfather, Shen Chi said to Liu Xiangren: "Uncle Liu, I heard you say that you went to Changbai Mountain?"
"Yes, we collect ginseng." Liu Xiangren replied.
"Is it fresh ginseng?" Shen Chi asked again.
Liu Xiangren guessed what Shen Chi was thinking: "You want to plant it yourself."
"Yes, I want to try growing it myself." Shen Chi didn't hide it either.
"It's useless. The climate here is not suitable for growing ginseng, and if you can barely grow it, it won't be as effective as Changbai Mountain." Manager Zhao advised him from the side.
"I don't sell it myself. It won't hurt to try growing it." He said and looked at Liu Xianghe, who asked Zhang Cheng to take out a package wrapped in newspaper from his leather bag.
Opening the layers of paper, there were seven or eight thumb-thick ginseng sticks inside. Shen Chi picked the smallest one and asked Liu Xiangren: "Uncle Liu, can you sell this ginseng to me?"
Liu Xiangren smiled and said: "As long as you promise Uncle Liu not to sell the salvia you grow to Xinyuan Health Products Factory in the future, Uncle Liu will give this ginseng to you."
"Okay, deal." Shen Chi was overjoyed. He picked up the ginseng and ran to the ginseng field. But not far away, he turned back and said, "I can sell it to you, but my price will depend on the market."
"I know little devil, you are the only one who is smart." Liu Xiangren scolded with a smile.
Mr. Hu looked on and smiled from ear to ear.
Just at this moment, Shen Changlin called Sun Fuqiang over, and with the help of everyone, he began to move the salvia to the car.
Shen Chi happened to take advantage of this time to plant the ginseng he got from Liu Xiangren in the ground. He also dug up a Polygonatum plant, extracted the plant essence, mixed it with water, and poured it on the ginseng to ensure that it would survive.
Seeing that the orchid next to him had several seedlings, Shen Chi cut off the seedlings and transplanted them aside in order to keep the shape beautiful.
Watching his father and the others carrying bags of salvia to the handrail, Shen Chi felt relieved that his small farm was finally starting to make a profit.
Soon all the salvias were moved, and Liu Xiangren and the others followed the car to the city.
Because the female workers in the production room helped a lot, Shen Aizhi went to town to buy some meat and came back to give them a snack at noon.
While cooking, Liu Cuihua led others to help plant the ginseng seedlings on the ground.
Within half a day, the news that Shen Changlin had become a "10,000-yuan household" by selling ginseng spread throughout Yuanjia Village, and every household started to make up their mind.
Now that they have all begun to engage in clothing business, no one is planting the land at home, and it is empty, so they have also started to think about planting salvia.
When Shen Changlin came back in the evening, several families who were not close to Shen Chi's family even used the excuse to get close to Shen Changlin and asked him for advice on how to grow salvia.
In fact, he didn't know the method. He watched Shen Chi planting and making money, so he followed suit. As for the method, it was the ancient method of retting that Shen Chi taught him.
Shen Changlin only told everyone what he thought in his heart, and those people listened attentively, and begged Shen Changlin to take him and others with him when he sold ginseng next year, and Shen Changlin agreed.
So from the next day, people in Yuanjia Village stopped going out to sell clothes. They went to the mountains to dig up salvia and plant it. There was a craze for planting salvia throughout Yuanjia Village.
Early in the morning, he saw uncles and aunts in the village carrying baskets and hoes up the mountain to dig salvia. Shen Chi thought that he couldn't finish a bowl of rice by himself. He couldn't make enough money. It was a good thing to lead the villagers to get rich together. , I am also happy to see the success of this.
After dinner, I came to school with Sun Tao. Teacher Duan had been waiting in the classroom early in the morning. When he saw Shen Chi, he informed him to go to the provincial capital to participate in the National Mathematical Olympiad Competition for primary school students in half a month.
Knowing that he had passed the exam again, Shen Chi nodded happily.
Spring is warm and flowers are blooming. The weather is getting warmer day by day. The fruit seedlings in the orchard are blooming again. These fruit trees have just been planted. When they are not ready to bear fruit, Shen Chi still asks his father to pinch the flower bones.
The newly planted ginseng plant finally grew leaves again under Shen Chi's careful care. In addition to using his daily energy to promote the growth of salvia, the rest of his energy was spent on this ginseng plant. This chapter has been completed!
