What happened next was simple. With Zhou Daguai's investment, Li Feng became richer.
The construction of the cold storage started quickly, and the people in the village were also shocked: "Oh my God, this Li Feng is really capable. He just built a house and now he is investing in a cold storage."
"Yeah, that's awesome. I heard the investment is almost five million."
"Didn't you hear? The village chief and the kidnapper have also become shareholders."
"This is really profitable..."
Everyone was talking a lot, and they became more and more polite when they saw Li Feng.
Li Feng didn't feel much about this. The cold storage investment was huge, but he really didn't have much money to spend, and he was more concerned about collecting the apples next.
Zhou Daguai's money is not a big deal, but Li Xiaolu's money is something Li Feng really doesn't want to owe for a long time. They mortgaged their house to raise the money for him. If he doesn't do something big, when will he earn back more than two million yuan?
However, after Zhou Daguai invested the money, he didn't seem to feel reassured. When the cold storage was being built, he asked Bai Xiaoli to come over and help oversee the construction.
Li Feng didn't care about this, because having Bai Xiaoli watching over him made it easier for him.
Time passed by a month, and the cold storage was finally completed. The final space reached 18,000 cubic meters. Not counting the storage space in the cave behind, if added together, it would be 20,000 cubic meters.
This made Li Feng very excited. Zhou Daguai also pulled Li Feng around inside for a long time: "Oh my god, Xiaofeng, can we really use such a big cold storage? Isn't it too big?"
"If you want to save fruit, how much do you need to save?"
Li Feng grinned: "Uncle Zhou, don't worry. We just finished it this year and may save a little less. Next year I will save a lot of things. Pears, peaches, apples, apricots. I'm afraid there won't be enough by then."
Woolen cloth."
"Besides, if I said I'd keep you, I'd guarantee you four years to get your money back. If you get more points, I'll make up for any less. Didn't we write this in the contract?"
Zhou Daguai nodded: "Haha, yes, Xiaofeng, you have to protect me."
'Also, aren't you going to harvest the fruits soon? Your Auntie Li will also come to work. You have to arrange a place for them. You can't let them stay in the cold storage. It won't freeze them.
?'
Li Feng grinned: "Uncle Zhou, we have already arranged it during the construction. In front of this cold storage is my house, and the door is connected. Usually it is in my house on the first floor. I can just change into thick clothes when I enter the cold storage.
Can."
"It happens that there are a lot of people here when the fruit is harvested, so I will ask my aunt and my sister-in-law to help with the work. I will be busy now, and I will be less and less at home every day. Aunt Xiaoguo doesn't dare to disobey when she takes care of others.
"
Zhou Daguai felt proud after hearing this: "That's right, if anyone dares to disobey, I will deal with him immediately, haha..."
The two settled the matter, and it happened to be the first season of apples.
It is the golden autumn, and the village is completely busy. The cold storage has officially started to open for fruit harvesting.
This made Li Feng very happy. The pears he had saved before were about to be sold out. Li Xiaolu was still worried about what to sell next. With apples, the fruit shop would not be out of stock.
And Li Feng also concentrated on studying Apple's catalytic methods.
With his previous experience with peaches and pears, Li Feng conducted many experiments and finally added milk, a small amount of pear juice and sucrose to the apples. The taste of the catalyzed apples was simply amazing.
The apple is as crisp as a cucumber, and tastes fragrant, sweet, and extremely refreshing.
The most important thing is that apples are the fruit with the largest planting area and the largest yield per acre. They are also the fruit with the lowest purchasing price. The retail price is only 1.5 yuan per pound, which is still a big fruit.
Li Feng directly developed it and then put it on the market with a price of six yuan. Li Feng named it milk candy.
As soon as the fruit was put on the market, it sold like crazy. The previous jade pear was sold out. Many regular customers thought that there was no better fruit. This milk candy tasted better than the jade fruit, so they ordered one after another.
Li Xiaolu was so anxious that she kept calling Li Feng and asked him if he could bring more luck in one day.
Li Feng felt worried after hearing this. He wanted to get more fruits, but his ability was only so great. At most, he could only get 5,000 jins a day. More than that would be impossible.
However, this also allowed Li Feng to really see business opportunities. In order to save more fruits, as long as the money was transferred back, he would invest all in acquisitions.
And Li Feng's purchase price attracted fruit farmers from all over the country: "Hey, have you heard? Li Feng's harvest of fruit is 1 yuan and 50 pounds."
"Yes, the price is higher than what we sell at the market."
"I gave it away yesterday. The requirements are strict. Anything over 80 fruits is worth 1.5 yuan. Just don't touch it. All my fruits are given away."
"Yes, it's three cents more per pound than those in the city selling fruit..."
In this way, the fruit spread from ten to ten, and the fruit farmers all sent their fruits to Li Feng. Before long, there were a lot of fruits piled in the cold storage.
Until that night when Li Feng finished delivering the fruits and returned to the cold storage again, it was already dark. Li Dazhuang and Widow Zhang in the cold storage had both gotten off work, leaving only Bai Xiaoli and Qin Xiuli. But there was another fruit farmer at this time.
Here comes the fruit.
Li Feng could only move his hands and started to help move it in.
But later when all the fruits were unloaded and paid for, Qin Xiuli was a little confused: "Xiao Feng, the money is not enough, do you have any more?"
"Ah?" Li Feng was stunned and hurried to the car to get the money. It took him a long time to collect 10,000 yuan to pay for the fruit.
After sending the person away again, Li Feng looked at Qin Xiuli in confusion: "Sister-in-law, is there no money in the account?"
Qin Xiuli nodded: "Yes, the fruit harvesting has been so intense during this period. More than one million kilograms have been lost in the warehouse. Although you deliver it out every day, the harvest is too much."
Having said this, he looked at Li Feng: "Why don't you stop for a moment? This... I really won't be able to give you any money if I keep accepting it like this."
Li Feng frowned when he heard it. He could understand the difficulty Qin Xiuli said. He delivered five thousand kilograms every day. When he went to the fruit shop, he gave Li Xiaolu five yuan, and Li Xiaolu took out the food for six yuan.
Calculated in this way, he earns three and a half yuan per catty, which means he can earn more than seventeen thousand a day.
It sounds like a lot, but he used up all the money to build a cold storage, so he kept 200,000 yuan and delivered 5,000 jins every day. He could collect 50,000 jins here, so the money was naturally not enough.
But it would be impossible to really stop now. More than one million kilograms of fruit sounds like a lot, but for their cold storage, it only amounts to a small corner.
The cold storage is 20,000 cubic meters, and one cubic meter can hold one thousand kilograms of apples, so we need to store 20 million kilograms.
Although Li Feng also knew that it was impossible to store that much, if more than one million kilograms were stored, the cold storage would be too wasteful.
After all, he has to pay the cold storage fee here.
But where to find money?
Li Feng was worried in his heart, but he couldn't show it in front of Qin Xiuli. Instead, he turned around and smiled: "Sister-in-law, you go cook first. You and Aunt Xiaoguo are both tired today. I'll pile up these apples."
.”
Qin Xiuli nodded: "Don't worry, Xiaofeng. The days are long anyway, and making money is not just for this moment."
Li Feng didn't explain much, but took off his coat and started to pile up the apples he had just harvested.
Bai Xiaoli was helping to count. She looked up at Li Feng's strong muscles and blushed...
