Chapter 373 369. Sit tight and wait for the bait to come

In the experimental greenhouse, we have achieved a yield of 500 kilograms per acre, while the yield of 300 kilograms per acre in the field is much lower.

Even so, one round of twelve times can produce 3600 kilograms. If the area is small and the work is intensive, it can produce 4500 kilograms.

The yield per mu is almost catching up with cabbage.

Then it will be sold at a very low price.

However, it is not as durable in storage as cabbage and has a high loss rate, so its final selling price will definitely be higher than cabbage.

But that's for later.

How to sell now?
Luo Yihang thought for a moment and decided, "The yield is too large, and each crop grows very fast. The storage and transportation issues have not been resolved. So we can only sell to the surrounding areas, and we have to pick and sell them quickly. The shorter the links in between, the better."

This is as it should be, otherwise the first experimental base would not be placed in Deyang. Isn't the purpose to have a consumer market nearby?

The capital of Sichuan Province with a population of 20 million.

More than 300 kilometers away, within a four-hour drive, there is a mountain city with a population of 30 million.

Two super large markets can absorb any amount of production.

"Marketing authorization." Luo Yihang looked at Qi Ruomu.

Qi Ruomu nodded and agreed, "I'll get it done. It will be quick. The Academy of Agricultural Sciences has someone in charge of this."

As mentioned before, experimental crops can be marketed under certain conditions.

Moreover, the sale of experimental crops is a major source of profit for breeding institutions.

When crops are put on the market for sale, they are examined for the presence of biological toxins, metal residues, and whether they comply with national standards.

No one cares about your planting costs, whether it is resistant to diseases and pests, how to rotate crops, or how to drain water.

Similarly, whether the market accepts it and whether you can sell it depends on you.

After the qualifications were settled, Luo Yihang looked at Wang Shaopeng again and said with a smile: "Boss Wang, we are unfamiliar with this place, can you help us with the sales?"

Wang Shaopeng also smiled and said, "Mr. Luo, you are too polite. It's my duty. Leave it to me."

We had made arrangements in advance. Isn't this the reason why we went to see this local boss?

Finally, there is the selling price.

Luo Yihang looked at Shi Juan: "How much is the planting cost? It's based on intensive farming, not counting harvesting."

Everyone present here is our own people. Except for Luo Yihang and Qi Ruomu, everyone else knows the actual cost very well.

So Shi Juan answered directly: "The rent is 300 yuan. The seeds are our own, so it's 150 yuan. Fertilizer and agricultural materials are 2350 yuan. Other miscellaneous expenses are yuan. Not counting labor, one acre is yuan. Including labor, it doesn't exceed yuan."

The cost is a bit high, mainly due to the rent.

Good land on flat ground is really valuable.

"Let's calculate the harvesting amount. I'll double it. If the total cost is 8,000 per acre, the output will be 3,600 kilograms, which means an average of 1.1 yuan per kilogram."

Shi Juan gave a wider allowance, and Luo Yihang gave a larger allowance, so in reality it should not be more than one dollar.

"The pea variety we developed is a vegetable type, not a bean type, and the benchmark is the pea heads on the market. Our goal is the variety, not the pea heads grown in the test fields now. We need to distinguish the primary from the secondary and highlight the advantages."

Luo Yihang explained his purpose, and then said: "So, I hope the market terminal price is about six yuan, and our shipping price is four yuan. Do you think there is a problem?"

Because it is only sold in the surrounding area.

Peas are in such high demand, so vegetable vendors will definitely flock to them for the two-yuan profit.

Any farther than that won’t work.

Everyone present was shocked when they suddenly heard the price.

I feel very awkward mentally.

The market price is twenty yuan, and you sell it for six yuan. That's a bit stupid.

Sichuan and Chongqing have a huge market of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people. Can't they digest a mere 200 acres and a yield of 60 tons per crop?

Even if the price will drop after the shipment volume increases, it will be done gradually. It is impossible for it to drop to one third at once.

Everyone looked puzzled, except Wang Shaopeng, who started his own business. He frowned, thought for a moment, then relaxed his brows and said in surprise, "Boss Luo, you are going to make big news."

He guessed it.

Then he pointed out a point that Luo Yihang had overlooked: "But Mr. Luo, you didn't consider the quality grading. The things produced in this field are also good and bad."

Luo Yihang gave him a thumbs up and said, "Boss Wang is wise. Are you interested?" Wang Shaopeng was stunned for a moment, but then he reacted immediately. He was excited and happy. He patted his chest and promised, "Boss Luo, don't worry. I'll take care of the harvesting and sorting."

What are these two people talking about?

Others simply don’t understand.

Qi Ruomu was furious. He grabbed Wang Shaopeng by the back of the neck and shook him. "The riddle teller should be beaten to death!"

He didn't dare to pinch Luo Yihang. Since he couldn't beat him, he just picked a weak one to pick on.

Wang Shaopeng laughed and begged for mercy, "Big Brother, Big Brother, let go, I'm going to spit, spit all over you."

Qi Ruomu had been about to let go, but upon hearing that, he swayed a few more times, "What did you call me!"

"Brother Monkey, isn't the eldest brother Monkey? No way, no way, you must know that..."

"You're itching, aren't you?"
-
Very simple.

This time we are making a new species.

So what Luo Yihang wanted was fame. He gave up the profits from the lower market price and made a big news to spread his name.

Pea pods are the favorite of people in Sichuan and Chongqing. They are still available in large quantities even though summer is approaching, and the price is the same as in winter.

It will definitely become a hot topic, with a large number of media rushing to report on it and grab traffic.

The fame will naturally spread.

And the purpose is to promote seeds.

There is still a long period of time before trial planting in different regions and climatic conditions.

But Wang Shaopeng doesn't have the same conditions.

If we have to find a test field on our own, it would not be enough even if we spread out the little bit of information that Luo Yihang's company has.

Besides, no matter who goes to talk to him, whether it’s Shi Juan or Luo Hongzhi, he will be cheated to death.

Therefore, it is better to spread your fame, sit back and wait for those who are willing to take the bait.

But there is a problem.

Luo Yihang is selling it for four dollars, but the dealers will not listen to you and sell it for six dollars. They would rather sell it for twenty dollars today and eighteen dollars tomorrow, or even join forces to sell it for twenty dollars together. What can you do?

This time Wang Shaopeng, the local boss, had to step in.

For this reason, Luo Yihang also gave him the authority for grading.

It is equivalent to making Wang Shaopeng the general distributor.

I gave him all the peas from the two hundred acres of land for $4.

He then sorts the goods, packages the high-quality ones and sells them separately, and sells the rest of the ordinary goods for six pieces.

As for how he controls it.

It's very simple. He has the channels and can enter supermarkets directly. He just needs to stipulate the selling price and price cap when signing the contract.

Then send someone to patrol and supervise, and there won’t be any big problems.

As for reselling, after all, the shipment volume is 60 tons, not 600 kilograms.

This quantity is neither big nor small, and even if you resell it, you won’t be able to sell much.

Wang Shaopeng signed a very detailed contract with Luo Yihang.

Then I got busy without stopping.

People are arranged here to harvest and screen.

Going to each supermarket over there.

I also took time to do the packaging during the process.

It's very thoughtful, and the four words "Qingyin Agriculture" are written particularly eye-catchingly.

Just three days later.

Qingyin Agriculture’s pea variety “Xiaoman No. 1” is now on sale.
