Chapter 607 It’s snowing time again
Seeing that the weather is getting colder day by day, growers across the north have already begun to get busy. Seeing that the vegetable seedlings they planted before are growing day by day, they are full of expectations.

The traders, who have also been waiting for a long time, are also gearing up to prepare for the upcoming acquisition feast. The wholesale market, which originally had few customers, is now renting and booking all the stalls in preparation for the large influx of vegetables.

Everyone knows that when the first heavy snow falls this winter, these farmers' wholesale markets established in various counties and cities in Beijiang will become lively again. The largest ones among them are naturally Shuangdian and Hunhe.

Compared with the growers and planting areas in other counties and cities, Hunhe has now become the largest greenhouse planting area in the north. Shuangdian is one of the counties with the largest number of greenhouses in Hunhe.

At this time, there are countless vehicles traveling between the two places. What makes many traders happy is that this year it will be much more convenient and faster to transport the vegetables they purchase to provincial capitals or other places than in previous years.

The reason is simple. The first expressway in Beijiang, which started construction last year, was officially opened before the snow fell. This expressway connects several counties and cities in Beijiang, and most importantly, it is also connected to the inter-provincial highways in the other two provinces.

Beijiang took the lead in building an expressway, and the other two brother provinces were naturally envious. Fortunately, the construction of the first expressway they are exploring and planning should start next year.

Large-scale infrastructure construction projects like this can now be seen in various provinces in the country. Nowadays, everyone knows that if you want to be rich, you must build roads first. Although there are interprovincial highways, highways are undoubtedly more convenient and faster.

After learning about this situation, Mu Shanhe also instructed Zhao Zhicheng and others to send out all supervisors from the farm and the logistics company. What they have to do is to supervise the subsequent transportation and sales of vegetables.

If someone is found not to follow the rules, these supervisors can report it, and then the farm will notify the local area to launch an investigation into these illegal behaviors. The intention of doing this is also very simple, and the market rules cannot be violated.

Many traders who came here to purchase goods or do business for the first time were surprised when they learned about this situation: "I have been doing business for so long, and this is the first time I have heard that there are so many rules for selling vegetables."

When they go out to earn a living, many people seek money. But besides seeking wealth, more people still hope for peace. Who would want to earn money if you have a life to make or spend it? There are many rules, but they are also a guarantee for foreign merchants like them!

In his previous life, Mu Shanhe moved to the capital early, and even later went to the south to do business. But he still knew that the business atmosphere or reputation outside the customs at that time was not good, and many foreign investors did not dare to do business outside the customs easily.

"Although there are many rules, as long as we follow the rules, our personal safety and funds will be guaranteed. As long as we abide by the rules, we don't have to worry about being cheated. At least here, we don't have to worry about being bullied by the locals."

If we want to ensure that the off-season vegetables of Hunhe or Beijiang are trusted by northern customers and even customers from other places in the future, deception and abduction must be resolutely put to an end. Correspondingly, each wholesale market also has corresponding reporting mailboxes.

The reason is simple. They feel that the geographical protection outside the customs is very strong. In this life, Mushanhe has created a good and fair investment environment through a series of investments, which has indeed attracted a lot of foreign investment.

Even though most of these foreign capitals are investing in Beijiang, the other two provinces have also reaped some benefits. After learning about the series of policies implemented by Beijiang, the leaders of the other two provinces also knew what to do despite copying the cat and the tiger.

In contrast, many citizens who used to store vegetables at the end of the year are now less anxious. Because they all know that after the heavy snow falls, fresh vegetables can still be bought at the vegetable market. Compared with the other two provinces outside China, the price of fresh vegetables in Beijiang is even the envy of many southern citizens. The wide range of varieties even surprises many traders who are new to the south, and express their admiration for the high technology of off-season vegetables here.

When the snow first fell, just like last year, a large number of agricultural vehicles were notified and began to rush to the fields where the growers' greenhouses were located. Freshly picked green vegetables are quickly packed and transported to the wholesale market in trucks.

While many people in the town are sleeping soundly, the farmers' wholesale market is still brightly lit on a snowy night. On all roads from the town to the city, snow plows are on standby, ready to clear snow from the roads at any time.

Looking at the various vegetables arriving at the farmer's market one after another, some of them are shipped directly to the trading stalls. Wholesalers who had been waiting for a long time also began to bargain with stall owners. After finalizing the price, we immediately arranged for vehicles to transport the vegetables.

By the early morning of the next day, these vegetables would appear in vegetable markets in the city or province. Seeing these fresh vegetables, citizens who came to buy vegetables early in the morning also knew that this year's greenhouse vegetables have begun to be on the market again.

What makes the citizens happy is that the price of vegetables this year has dropped to a certain extent compared to last year. If you can get the same food for less money, citizens will naturally be happy to buy it. After all, winter vegetables are rare.

Accordingly, although the market price has dropped somewhat, the transportation and wholesale costs of vegetable vendors are also lower than last year. As for growers, although prices have not increased much, they are still higher than last year.

After all, the interests of growers, wholesalers and citizens are all protected. And the costs that are compressed are mostly costs in the process. These costs are naturally related to transportation and other factors.

On the other hand, those vegetables that are shipped to all parts of the country and can be kept fresh for a longer period of time are transported to the capital or the other two provinces by special vegetable trains. The prices of the first batch of vegetables on the market are naturally higher than those that follow.

But the arrival of these fresh vegetables will undoubtedly greatly ease the number of vegetables in northern vegetable markets, and even the varieties will be much richer. For the residents of these cities, they are naturally happy to buy some and try them out!
What surprised these citizens the most was the large amount of fruits and vegetables on the counter of the He Family Supermarket, which had just started to snow this year. Cucumbers can be eaten as fruits, as well as cherry tomatoes, strawberries and other fruits.

Seeing these juicy fruits and vegetables, people who come to shop are happy to buy some to try. Even though the price seems a bit expensive, they all know that it is really rare to eat such fresh fruits in winter!

In fact, family supermarkets in the north can supply seasonal fruits from all over the country all year round. Such a logistical supply chain has also put great pressure on foreign retail giants who have entered the northern market to inspect.

Because they really discovered that if they want to enter the mainland to invest in their retail supermarkets, they can only choose the south. As for the north, the market share left for them is pitifully small. Even after entering, it is very likely that it will not last long!

Through such a series of inspections, they also truly realized that before many people realized it, a real retail giant had emerged in China. No matter the management or training, it is no less than their supermarkets abroad.

This also means that if they want to gain a foothold in the country, they may have to put in a lot of effort to launch a series of business competitions with Family Fun Supermarkets. Only in this way can they have a chance to survive!
