Chapter 514 (2/2)
Lin Wushuang smiled. ”You'd better wear a hat when you go out to work. Look at the villagers, everyone has a hat!”
”Well, I see!”
After persuading Lin's father, Lin Wushuang played with Lin's mother at home and helped Lin's mother at noon. After it was cool in the evening, he followed Lin's father to the ground.
”Peerless, you see, Dad's rice is rising well.” Lin's father took Lin wushuangdao to the field to see, ”these hundreds of acres are rice, which took a lot of effort.”
”Here is a watermelon field. There are not many kinds. Just these three mu of land, several watermelon dealers came and sold them cheaply.” Father Lin said, ”I didn't know until I planted the land. In the past, the farmers in the field sold up to 2-30 cents a kilogram of watermelon for 2 yuan. So... Although vegetables and fruits are expensive now, how many layers of profits are actually involved.”
”Watermelon dealers spend 3 cents to buy it back and sell it to the market. They sell it at 8 cents per kilogram, of which only 2 cents profit and 5 cents freight money!”
”Then the market is selling it to other small vendors at a price of about 1.20 cents per kilogram. Small vendors are selling it at a price of 1.5 cents per kilogram, and some may be 2 yuan...”
Lin Wushuang said, ”so it seems that farmers don't earn as much as other traders.”
”This is for sure. If you meet some small vendors and drive over to buy by yourself, you can earn more.” Lin dad sighed, ”so unparalleled, dad has an idea.”
”What do you think?”
”Why don't we try live selling!” Father Lin said, ”you see, we have watermelon, walnuts and oranges. Although there are not many of them, the villagers also have their own fruit forests. They all plant trees for generations and have a lot of them... If we sell watermelon directly, take watermelon for example. We sell it for 50 cents a kilo and earn more than the dealers buy, so that the sellers can buy watermelon cheaply, can't we?”
Lin Wushuang had to pour cold water on him, ”Dad, did you calculate your freight? When you sell this, you have to calculate the express fee. A watermelon has at least 5 kilograms. The express fee is 10 yuan. You sell 50 cents. The express fee is not enough! ”
Lin Wushuang said 10 yuan casually. Unless there are many lists and the price can be negotiated, it is far more than 10 yuan for express delivery.
”Ah...” Dad Lin really didn't expect that there was an express fee. Yes, people had to pay for the freight when they bought it themselves. Why didn't he expect it?
”Well, I'll talk to the express company. If the price is appropriate, I'll sell one yuan a kilo, which is cheaper than two yuan a kilo outside.”
”Unless you reduce the express to 5 cents per kilogram, you can still earn 5 cents in 1 yuan, otherwise you will lose money!” Lin Wushuang continued to pour Lin's father's cold water, ”don't you invite workers to farm? Don't you give money? Does watermelon not fertilize? Fifty cents, where does the profit come from? ”
Father Lin: ”
Lin Wushuang added, ”and there are so many live goods on the market. Who will buy it from you! The express is broken on the way, and you still pay for it. You should calculate the profit clearly. Otherwise, you can plant the land honestly. Since watermelon doesn't make money, it won't be planted next year... ”
Father Lin: ”
