Chapter 94 Breaking the Contract

Jiang Ancheng knows flowers very well and is confident that he can grow good flowers.

Manager Li thought for a moment and said, "If I help you get flower seeds, how many acres can you plant?"

Jiang Ancheng looked surprised and replied: "If there are seeds, we can persuade our villagers to plant flowers for one or two hundred acres. There should be no problem." After a pause, he asked again: "Manager Li also wants to do the flower business?"

It is also a good thing to have people invest in doing business together and have troubles. It is much faster and more profitable than slowly accumulating wealth.

Manager Li smiled and said, "The flower market does have great potential, and the demand in major cities is also great. In coastal and other major cities, there are already somewhat mature flower markets. The transportation environment abroad has improved, and the flower business can still start from Yuncheng.

Expand to other cities.”

"In addition to being sold as fresh-cut flowers, alyssum is also a raw material for well-known foreign perfumes. My wife and I checked out the relevant perfume-making processes and planned to open a factory to produce several classic perfumes for sale, creating a unique Chinese brand that can be enjoyed by the world.

The whole world can know the charm of Chinese perfume."

Manager Li wants to start a perfume factory, and Jiang Ancheng is surprised and pleasantly surprised.

But soon, he calmed down again.

In the past life, the domestic cosmetics market was developing rapidly, but there was still no brand that surpassed the international front-line, and its international reputation was not obvious.

In addition to reasons such as the intensity of publicity and the accumulation of advertising history, to a large extent, it is because in order to make cosmetics more profitable, most domestic merchants use synthetic flavors that can make huge profits.

Synthetic flavors are artificial flavors. All kinds of flower scents can be produced using various chemical elements.

Most of the perfumes sold on the market are artificial flavors.

Even a well-known brand in China, in order to reduce costs, advertises extraction using ancient methods. In fact, synthetic flavors account for 80% and natural flavors only account for 20%.

Because two tons of flowers can only extract one liter of flower essence.

Foreign perfumes have a long history, and people will pay for expensive perfumes. However, in China, there is actually not much difference between synthetic flavors and naturally extracted flavors. Ordinary people cannot tell the difference at all. Therefore, domestic synthetic perfumes also sell well.

.

But in the international arena, compared with many natural perfumes, it can't match the care put in by others.

People who really like to use perfume are not fools. Naturally, Chinese perfumes are not recognized by the international market.

Of course, there are also niche brands in China that insist on using natural flavors to make perfumes. Many people are used to strong synthetic perfumes and feel they are not fragrant enough. Domestic sales are not good, and they cannot gain popularity abroad, so they are quickly eliminated from the market.

Manager Li wants to use flowers as raw materials to make perfume, but Jiang Ancheng is not optimistic about it.

He seems to have seen the scene where Manager Li used artificial flavors in the face of profit, resulting in a large number of flowers they planted for him being unable to be sold.

Manager Li didn't have the money to purchase it, so he would still argue to him that alyssum cannot be sold as a flavor raw material, but could also be sold as fresh-cut flowers, so it would not affect their income.

However, when hundreds of acres of fragrant flowers bloom at the same time, the flowering period only lasts for a short week. If they cannot be sold within this week, what is worse than vegetables is that even pigs cannot eat them, and they have to be eradicated by hand.

Jiang Ancheng asked tentatively: "Has Manager Li found a master who specializes in making perfume?"

Manager Li's expression paused and he said with a smile: "My wife and I tried it at home, and it's actually not that difficult."

They are not professional, have no specialized talents, and have never visited a perfume factory.

Jiang Ancheng politely suggested: "I think it is best for Manager Li to visit other people's perfume factories to see how many raw materials are used to make a perfume. After making an estimate, how many acres of flowers can be planted? This can also reduce risks.

.”

If Manager Li knows that flavors can not only be extracted from flowers, but can also be synthesized artificially, after considering the investment in both, he may no longer think about planting flowers on a large scale.

Manager Li smiled and said: "Brother Jiang is right. We have also planned to go to Guangcheng to have a look when we have time. If it works, we will come back with flower seeds."

Jiang Ancheng nodded, "Sure, if Manager Li decides and can sign a long-term planting agreement with the people in our village, I will convince them."

Manager Li really knew nothing about growing flowers, and unexpectedly asked: "Can't we plant and harvest year after year for long-term planting?"

Jiang Ancheng shook his head: "It depends on the size of the flower bulb. If the flower bulb is large, it will bloom in the same season. If it is scale division or seed planting, it will take a year to grow. Only in the second year of planting can it bloom. The amount of flowers

It’s not very big.”

"Moreover, if you want the flowers to be good, it is best to build a greenhouse to ensure the quality. If you don't build a greenhouse, if there is a heavy rain during the flowering period, the damage will be very serious."

Manager Li frowned for a moment and asked doubtfully: "Then does this loss also count on me?"

Jiang Ancheng nodded, "Sign the contract, that's it. If we don't sign the contract, our village will have no guarantees, and no one will be willing to do it. It's better to grow food for insurance."

The planting contract had to be contracted for at least two years, and losses had to be guaranteed. Manager Li suddenly felt like he was being taken advantage of.

I harvest ready-made flowers and negotiate the price with everyone, but I can’t determine the output.

This is really hard to do.

Manager Li's family and his daughter-in-law's family are both relatively well-off, but they cannot withstand such a huge risk.

Before he went to Guangcheng, he was somewhat repelled, but he said to Jiang Ancheng calmly: "Okay, I understand. I will go to Guangcheng first to study it. If it doesn't work and I can't make perfume, I can bring you some."

When the flower seeds come back, we can develop together."

Manager Li doesn't want to work for someone else for the rest of his life, so he settles for the next best thing. The flower business actually seems to work.

Jiang Ancheng smiled and said: "I look forward to working with Brother Li."

Manager Li laughed and said, "I'm looking forward to it too." Internally, he felt that Jiang Ancheng was a man who was doing great things. He was more sophisticated in his words and deeds than he had been working under Hua Guoyao for many years.

Manager Li was embarrassed to take Jiang Ancheng's things for nothing, so he specially gave him a bottle of foreign wine.

Jiang Ancheng went back with foreign wine. Everyone was still asleep. Teacher Wei cooked some finger corn and said to him, "Did you grow it yourself? This is the first time I have eaten such small corns. It is fragrant, waxy and sweet."

"

Jiang Ancheng smiled and said, "Well, it's specially grown for children to eat and play with. If you like it, eat more." Then he looked at the ingredients that Teacher Wei sorted out from his backpack, pointed at the passion fruit and said, "This is Yu."

Fei specially asked me to bring you the egg fruit, juiced stewed fish, stewed chicken, and cold rice noodles. They are all very delicious."

Teacher Wei smiled and said: "So this is egg fruit, let's try it tomorrow." Then he said to Jiang Ancheng: "There are too many vegetables. Do you want to get some to sell?"

Jiang Ancheng shook his head, "No, no, I don't have much. Eat slowly. Teachers, neighbors, and neighbors can give some as a gift."

Teacher Wei's neighbors were all enemies in the past, but the relationship has eased slightly in recent years. After thinking about it, he said, "Then I'll soak all the peppers, bitter melons, cucumbers, and cowpeas and eat them."

Jiang Ancheng cheered and said, "Last time, I thought the pickled cowpeas made by the teacher were appetizing and refreshing. I can cook two bowls of porridge at one time, so I'm lucky again, hahaha."

Mrs. Wei smiled and said, "We are lucky because the tamarind cake made by your Miaolan is so delicious."

Zeng Shuanglin still held a piece in his hand, tasting it carefully and nodding, "It's delicious!"

Jiang Ancheng rubbed Zeng Shuanglin's little face, "Well, you have to be careful when it tastes delicious. Eating too much will cause tooth decay."

"Uh-huh."

Back in the room, Zeng Yilin handed the account book and money to Jiang Ancheng, and reported today's situation, "There are more people wholesale flowers today, and two people have come to order ten pairs of flower baskets. They want them at the end of the month.

Several people came to us and wanted to learn how to tie flowers from us, and they would do it for free for three months."

Jiang Ancheng looked through the account book and found that Zeng Yilin had recorded it in great detail. Not only the sales records, but also the name and address of the person who ordered the flowers and the congratulatory message and deposit were all written down.

"Don't bother with anyone who wants to learn how to tie flowers for free, unless they pay the tuition. Otherwise, if you work for free for a few days, they think they have learned it, and they will run away."

Jiang Ancheng would rather hire people who work in a disciplined manner, and there is no need for apprentices for the time being.

Zeng Yilin remembered it and said: "Based on today's wholesale quantity, there may not be enough alyssum lilies the day after tomorrow."

"There are only half of the wind chimes left. The other flowers, which are already few, can only be sold in bouquets until tomorrow at most."

Their business suddenly improved, all thanks to the fact that the mountain people had stopped harvesting flowers in some areas, and Luo Sheng did not get a car to go to the countryside to collect flowers, but the daily market demand was still so huge.

When their prices drop, people will naturally turn to them to wholesale flowers again.

Jiang Ancheng smiled and said: "It's okay, we sell as much as we have. When there are too few flowers and we can't wholesale, we will only retail. The flower shop will definitely continue to open. After two days of busy work, I will apply for a business license."

.”

When Zeng Yilin heard that he needed to apply for a business license and that the flower shop would continue to operate stably in the future, he was very happy. He grinned his white teeth and said, "I will do a good job!"

"good."

After Zeng Yilin left, Jiang Ancheng took out the foreign wine and looked at it carefully. Manager Li was very generous and gave him a genuine imported product. It was full of foreign symbols, and he couldn't understand a word of it.

Imported goods in this era were very expensive. Jiang Ancheng happily put the red wine back and prepared to take it out to celebrate with everyone on the day he moved into his new house.

After accompanying Song Xueyao home for a while, he was also tired, so he lay on the bed and slept without alert until dawn.

As soon as I got up, I felt dizzy and my throat was dry and sore.

He was always strong, but he actually showed signs of illness.

Maybe it’s because I’ve been busy these past few days and my sleep time is short, so my body is a little overwhelmed.

Jiang Ancheng planned to go to the clinic to get some medicine. In the yard, Teacher Wei was handling bitter melons, and Zeng Yilin had already bandaged half a cart of small bouquets.

Zeng Yilin saw him coming out of the room and came over and said, "Brother, the flower baskets you arranged for Miss Song and the others last time were also very beautiful. Why don't you buy some bamboo baskets and put a few more in them, which should be easy to sell."

Jiang Ancheng nodded, "Well, I'll buy it now."

As soon as he opened his mouth, his hoarse voice caught Teacher Wei's attention, "Do you have a cold? Just wait and I'll find some medicine for you."

Jiang Ancheng waved his hand, "It's okay. I'm going to buy a flower basket and call the doctor to prescribe some medicine."
