Back to 90s small fishing village

Chapter 9 Natural is not as good as artificial

"I can do that, what about Caimei?"

"Me too."

After ordering a drink, he waited until the waiter came to the door and left before letting Xu Caimei take out the pearls.

Looking at a small bag of smooth and round pearls of various sizes, Boss Wang couldn't help but admire them.

Of course, there is no "orb" that Xu Caimei picked up in this bag.

She had a deeper plan for that bead, so she kept it, hid it in a safe place that only she knew, and kept it carefully.

"You kid, you were born to do this. Look at these beads, tsk, tsk, tsk, they are all beautiful."

Talking about the purchase price, he said: "The big ones are 25 yuan each, the small ones are [-] yuan, the medium ones are [-] yuan, and the colored ones are [-] yuan more on this basis."

The bag Xu Caimei handed him was worth almost 300 yuan.

After taking the money, Xu Caimei was not happy.

"Boss Wang, I remember a few years ago, weren't they available at 81-[-] pills? Why has the price dropped now?"

"You don't know, although the supply of natural pearls is less now, because of the high price, the sales volume is also much lower. Basically, except for the top quality, you can only sell the rest," explained Boss Wang, "Now the market The trend has changed. Instead of natural pearls, everyone is buying artificially cultured southern pearls. Instead of fishing for pearls in the sea, I suggest you open a breeding farm, and you may make money faster."

"A breeding farm?" Xu Caimei's heart moved. She also knew about this in her previous life. After the millennium, Xu Pingli, the second son of the village chief, started a breeding farm and made a lot of money. She also invited her to help on the farm. Unfortunately, At that time, she only wanted to die and did not pay much attention to this matter.

Thinking about it now, this might be a good opportunity to change your destiny. "Yes, the farms that specialize in raising pearl mussels are a new branch of the farming industry." Yao Zhihua interjected, "Now this industry has just emerged. In response to the national call, all along the coast are assisting villages to open pearl farms, especially those like Poor villages like yours and mine have preferential policies for running businesses."

"This is the first time I've heard about this. Can you tell me more about it?" Xu Caimei asked.

Yao Zhihua did not hide it, but openly told Xu Caimei the relevant matters.

At the same time as the introduction, Yao Zhihua also talked to Boss Wang about the return on investment in the farm.

Regarding this part of the conversation, Xu Caimei was confused. She only heard things like "survival rate of clam seedlings", "bead production", "two-year production", and a lot of unfamiliar professional terms.

When their conversation ended, Xu Caimei couldn't help but ask: "Boss Wang, Zhihua, why can't I understand what you just said?"

"It's normal not to understand," Yao Zhihua smiled. "At the beginning, I was just like you. I couldn't understand these terms and couldn't calculate such a big number. But there are experts in the city and the government will allocate technical skills." The backbone will guide the farm for a period of time, giving him step-by-step guidance. As long as you are willing to learn, you will soon be able to start working on your own.”

"Then I'll go back to the village and ask to see if anyone can join me in this. Since there is a new trend in the market, it would be a pity not to take advantage of it."

"That's the reason, Caimei, if you want to set up a breeding farm, you can contact me more. If you need any help, just tell me."

"But Zhihua, you are also running a pearl mussel farm, right? In this case, aren't we competitors? It's unreasonable for you to help me."

"Aren't your horizons too small?" Yao Zhihua smiled, "Now is the boom period for artificially cultured pearls. There is a huge gap in the market, but there are very few farms that seriously cultivate pearls. The top priority is to occupy the market first and consolidate Stable customer base.

"If you want to achieve this goal, how can I supply it to a small farm? If you can successfully join this industry, if our two villages work together, can we occupy a larger market share faster and more?" This is a win-win situation. As for competition, let’s wait until we get to that point in the future.”
