struggle in a small town

Chapter 313 First Test the Waters Locally

Apples are usually picked and sold to receivers.

Some go directly to sales and circulation, and some are stored in cold storage. They can be sold until next summer at the longest, and the price will be much higher.

This year, because Zhang Xuejiao promised to sell apples live, Song Zhe rejected the consignee, but he didn't have enough warehouses to store them, and a considerable part of the apples had to be temporarily stacked in the orchard.

After Zhang Xuejiao found out, she followed Lin Zhiyuan to the orchard to discuss the live broadcast with Song Zhe.

"Brother, let's not procrastinate. I will send out a preview today. I will start a two-hour live broadcast tomorrow to see how the situation goes."

Song Zhe looked at the mixed apples, large and small, and was very worried: "It hasn't been sorted yet, and there are not enough people to pack them."

"How about it." Zhang Xuejiao turned to look at Lin Zhiyuan: "Husband, why don't you just take the apples to the expansion center, I'll let the girls on vacation help sort and pack them, and sell them as soon as possible."

As soon as Song Zhe heard that he could find someone, he immediately said that he paid for someone to hire him, and he couldn't let Lin Zhiyuan suffer.

Just do it.

Song Zhe had a Wuling small truck with a load of two tons. He first pulled three trucks over and temporarily stacked them in the corner of the cafeteria.

The scattered apples look like a lot, but they can be stacked together, and 6 tons of apples only occupy more than 20 cubic meters of space.

Zhang Xuejiao specifically asked the staff's wishes to see who would help sort and pack apples. Unexpectedly, the aunts in the cafeteria and the cleaning aunts were the most active.

Moreover, these middle-aged aunts work very quickly, as long as they explain the precautions to them clearly, and with double wages, they will be full of energy to work one by one.

Lin Zhiyuan saw it, and privately told Zhang Xuejiao that he had misread it, and that picking apples should not only look for young men, but aunts.

Zhang Xuejiao told him with a smile: "Auntie is saving money for her children."

"It makes sense." Lin Zhiyuan looked at her stomach: "Suddenly I feel a lot of pressure."

Zhang Xuejiao didn't bother to talk to him, so she turned to find Yu Shuangshuang and asked her to preview the live broadcast tomorrow.

In order to increase credibility, Zhang Xuejiao decided to put the first live broadcast in the orchard. She personally picked apples from the tree, washed them and ate them on the spot. The whole process would not leave the camera, so that the audience could see clearly.

After Yu Shuangshuang finished listening, her face was wrinkled into a bun: "You should tell me in advance, this is too sudden."

"It's not difficult, is it?" Zhang Xuejiao thought it was very simple: "Just take a selfie stick and a mobile phone."

Yu Shuangshuang then asked: "Only live broadcast on one platform?"

"My cousin's orchard is not big. I think one platform is enough, and it will be placed at noon, so it doesn't take up the live broadcast time in the evening, and I can have an explanation to my partners."

Now that Zhang Xuejiao has said so, Yu Shuangshuang can only follow orders: "Okay, you are the boss and you have the final say. Give me the address of the online shop, and arrange the link first."

Zhang Xuejiao was stupid, she forgot to ask Song Zhe about the online shop.

Yu Shuangshuang even comforted her: "I've been pregnant for three years, it's normal for you to be like this, Sister Jiao."

Zhang Xuejiao hurriedly called Song Zhe, and after asking, she found out that he hadn't taken care of the online store recently, and there was nothing in it, it was empty.

"Brother, if you trust me, send me your username and password, and I'll arrange someone to get it for you."

Song Zhe didn't hesitate at all, hung up the phone and sent it immediately.

Zhang Xuejiao looked at the password xueyan520 and fell into deep thought. Unexpectedly, Song Zhe was quite romantic.

In comparison, she and Lin Zhiyuan were a bit too boring, their passwords were both their names and birthdays, nothing new at all.

Yu Shuangshuang successfully logged into the backstage and turned to ask Zhang Xuejiao for product details and prices.

Zhang Xuejiao was stupid again.

I called Song Zhe again, and he said that according to the size of the fruit diameter, there are three pieces above 8 centimeters, and two pieces between 3 and 7 centimeters.

As for the ones below 7 cm, sorry, there are no such small fruits in his orchard.

Zhang Xuejiao reminded: "Brother, don't forget the money for packaging and express delivery, they have to be free shipping now."

Now it was Song Zhe's turn to be stupid.

He has never delivered a courier, so he doesn't know the prices of various couriers.

And the apple is so heavy, how much will the postage cost?
The postage is expensive, and Apple must also increase the price.

Zhang Xuejiao finally regained consciousness: "Brother, how many apples can you collect this time?"

"Judging from the weight of the harvested so far, this year, one mu of land weighs almost 5000 catties, or 32 mu."

Song Zhe was talking over there, and Zhang Xuejiao had already started pressing the calculator here.

Then the two reported a number in unison: 16 catties.

Zhang Xuejiao feels that 16 catties is not much. The total number of members in the local group alone is more than 3. Everyone doesn't say much. If you buy a ten catty catty, it will be sold out easily.

It seems that there is no need to send it to other places.

"Brother, how about this, let's test the water locally first, and have a good idea. When the time comes, the centralized delivery will save the cost of express delivery."

Song Zhe can have any opinions?
Zhang Xuejiao helped him sell the goods for free, and arranged for someone to sort and pack the boxes, which saved him money and worry.

After reaching an agreement with Song Zhe, Zhang Xuejiao discussed with Yu Shuangshuang: "We only sell locals this time, what do you think?"

Yu Shuangshuang couldn't wait more.

She was actually quite afraid that Zhang Xuejiao's foolishness would affect her personal image, and the partners who came to her door in the future were likely to have similar products.

She also wanted Zhang Xuejiao to go up and sell high-end goods, luxury goods and so on in the future to increase her social status.

Zhang Xuejiao began to think wildly again. Since Apple can be distributed in a centralized manner, shouldn't other things be allowed?
Now that there are so many members in the local group, one can imagine the demand for buying various products every day.

Wouldn't it be a good thing to kill two birds with one stone if we aggregate these demands and then find a stable supplier to cooperate with and deliver them to a fixed location at a certain time every day?

However, many things can be purchased online. If members want to change the way they buy, it must be faster than express delivery in terms of timeliness.

Generally, the express delivery arrives in about three days. It would be great if the centralized delivery can arrive the next day.

Zhang Xuejiao became more and more excited as she thought about it, and ran to Yu Shuangshuang: "Shuangshuang, let me ask you, if you are in a certain group, if you order something today, such as towels and toothbrushes, it will be delivered to you tomorrow, would you like it?" Buy?"

"It depends on whether I am in a hurry to use it." Yu Shuangshuang was quite calm: "If I am in a hurry, why don't I go to the supermarket?"

Makes sense.

Zhang Xuejiao thought about it, and then asked her: "What if the price is much cheaper than the supermarket? For example, the same towel is sold for 20 in the supermarket, but only 16 in the group."

Yu Shuangshuang still said the same thing: "If I am in a hurry, I will definitely buy it from the supermarket. Besides, I am not short of these few dollars."

"Oh, rich and powerful." Zhang Xuejiao shook her head: "It proves that the target customers of this model are not your type. I have to think again."

"I seldom do shopping in the first place. There is a cafeteria for meals, and I don't need to buy clothes and shoes. It is enough to go to the supermarket occasionally to buy some daily necessities."

Zhang Xuejiao patted her on the shoulder: "It's great to be single, just worry about yourself."
