18.5 yuan per pound, this price is okay.

The Chinese New Year is less than 20 days away, and Cao Shujie is considering selling the cows and focusing on other things.

We still have to prepare New Year's goods, and there are still poor households in the village who need to visit and express condolences.

A few years ago, I also had to go to my father-in-law’s house and my uncle’s house for a walk.

He didn't have many relatives to begin with, but Cao Shujie cherished them even more.

After telling his wife, Cheng Xiaolin told him: "Shujie, my mother called me and said that she sold all the five big cows at home. Guess how much they sold for in total?"

Cao Shujie thought for a moment, stretched out two fingers and crossed them into a cross shape: "Do you have 100,000?"

Cheng Xiaolin pursed her lips and glanced at him sideways, feeling very bored: "Your guess is quite accurate. My mother said the total price was 96,400 yuan, which is a difference of 3,600 yuan and less than 100,000 yuan."

"Shujie, my father and my mother are both very happy. My mother said that she has saved 90,000."

Speaking of excitement, Cheng Xiaolin couldn't hide the secret and continued to tell him: "My mother also said that when we go there for the New Year, she will return the 30,000 yuan to us."

Cao Shujie didn't think about it and asked his wife: "What's 30,000 yuan?"

"It's the 20,000 yuan my dad used to buy the cow, plus the 10,000 yuan you gave my mother when she came back from Xinjiang last time. It's exactly 30,000 yuan." Cheng Xiaolin explained to him.

"Oh, you said that money, oh my gosh, I forgot about it." Cao Shujie waved his hand: "Honey, please call our mother quickly and let them keep the flowers for themselves."

Cao Shujie didn't expect that the old couple would still remember this incident.

But Cheng Xiaolin shook her head: "Shujie, it's not like you don't know my mother's temper. She will definitely give you this money."

After hearing what his wife said, Cao Shujie remembered his mother-in-law's stubborn temper and said nothing else.

"Honey, I'm thinking that if we sell 135 cows this year, kill the remaining one and keep the meat for ourselves, what do you think?" Cao Shujie asked his wife.

Cheng Xiaolin has no objections to this.

Selling one more head would only bring in an extra 20,000 yuan, which was nothing to Cao Shujie.

Cheng Xiaolin also said: "Kill one and keep it for yourself. Give one to relatives at home. There are also those who work for our family. It can also be used as welfare. Everyone can share a little bit."

"Yes!" Cao Shujie nodded, that's what he thought about.

On the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, with less than half a month left before the Spring Festival, Wang Leigang and four others came to pull cattle.

After a whole day of work, all 135 cows passed the finishing scale.

The total gross weight is 194,049 kilograms. According to the price they agreed on before, it is 18.5 yuan per kilogram, totaling 3,589,906.5 yuan.

No matter who it is, this is a big income.

The moment he received the money, Cao Shujie looked at the three people except Wang Leigang with admiration. Unexpectedly, they also kept their secrets secret. In comparison, Wang Leigang was the most arrogant among them.

They took away 135 big cows. When Wang Leigang saw that Cao Shujie had one big cow left, he also asked Cao Shujie, why would he keep it if he didn't sell it together?

Then I heard Cao Shujie say: "It's not the Chinese New Year soon, I'll keep it and kill myself to eat it."

The four people were very convinced at that time.

When they buy it back, they process it in various ways and sell it at a higher price, or they sell it in beef gift boxes.

But people like Cao Shujie, who keeps a cow worth more than 20,000 yuan to eat for himself, are the real ruthless characters.

After finishing this matter, Cao Shujie also called Cui Jingguo and learned that he would not be able to get the more than 200 calves together before the year. Cao Shujie did not force him and asked him to just send them over after the year.

When he was about to hang up the phone, Cao Shujie finally said the more, the merrier.

After selling the cattle, he took time to go to town to process the last batch of apples.

At this time, other things had nothing to do with him, and he was too lazy to deal with them.

As the Spring Festival approaches, the traffic support provided by Taobao platform for the 2012 Product Festival is getting bigger and bigger, and now all 54 of them feel a little overwhelmed.

"Shujie, we need to find some people to come over, otherwise we will be too busy." Cheng Xiaolin said to her husband.

Cao Shujie also knows that manpower is very tight now, and the daily shipment volume continues to increase. There are more elderly people and women here. From a personal perspective, doing his job with a certain amount of physical labor is more efficient than

Not as good as men.

Xinjiang Changji no longer ships here, so Cao Shujie only needs to worry about selling the current inventory and shipping it out.

In the afternoon of that day, he went to the town and temporarily found 10 people to work for him, with a daily salary of 80 yuan.

When the time entered the 15th day of the twelfth lunar month, Cao Shujie did not even return home and lived directly in the factory warehouse.

He also signed a supply contract with a fast food restaurant in town.

The steamed buns, fried buns, fried dough sticks, and egg soup they make are given priority to Cao Shujie. They have three meals a day, breakfast, lunch, and dinner, making every effort to ensure that the workers have no worries about eating.

It's impossible not to do this. The sales volume in the store is huge, and Cao Shujie must find a way to save every minute.

That's it, working until the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, Cao Shujie looked at the apple inventory that was almost empty, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

The result was better than he expected.

But Cao Shujie knew that this improvement in efficiency was largely due to the traffic diversion from the Taobao platform.

Seeing the inventory decrease, Cao Shujie also set inventory limits in his stores on Taobao platform.

He has to do this. If the inventory is really sold out and there are still customers who continue to place orders, where will he go to buy Apple?

On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, more than 60 people watched the last box of apples being loaded into the truck and sent out. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Especially for Cao Shuju and the first 24 people, this wave of making money is truly a matter of money rather than life.

Song Huixia, who joined later, and Cao Shulin, all felt physically and mentally exhausted after continuous high-intensity work.

At this time, they didn't think about how much money they earned or how much bonus they could get during the New Year. What they thought about was having a good meal and a good sleep.

Waiting for the 28th of the twelfth lunar month to catch the last big gathering and prepare things for the New Year.

I have been busy making money during this period, and I haven’t prepared the New Year’s goods for my family yet.

"Everyone, please clean up the warehouse first. The boss will hold a meeting for us later." Cao Shuju shouted to everyone.

As soon as he finished speaking, more than 60 people at the scene went to work together.

Among these people was Cao Huifang, who worked for 17 days without a day off after returning from the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month.

This was the first time she had experienced this kind of physical strength in her life. To put it bluntly, she really didn't want to do it a second time.

But when she saw everyone going to clean, she was too embarrassed to watch, so she went to work with a broom.

Cao Shujie returned to the small office in the workshop warehouse, sat on a chair, and looked at the reports compiled by his wife. He could not calm down for a long time.

He listened to Liu Furong's suggestion at the time. When he first started doing this, he never expected that it would become as large as it is now.

At that time, he thought that he would be done with selling the more than 800 tons of apples purchased from Adilijiang.

But no one expected that the video they shot would attract so much traffic to their fruit shop.

As a last resort, Adili Jiang was asked to help them contact 2,118 tons of apples from Xinjiang Changji, but who knew it was still not enough to sell.

From the beginning of November to now, in less than three months, Cao Shujie has sold a total of 5,371 tons of apples through various business methods such as online sales, sub-distributor distribution, and bulk purchasing for welfare benefits of enterprises and institutions.

The total sales revenue was 55.8287 million yuan.

The total purchase cost of these apples is 25.9411 million yuan.

Cao Shujie looked at the remaining gross profit margin of nearly 30 million yuan after deducting procurement costs, labor costs, packaging costs and other expenses.

However, this is not the final profit, and the consignment fee, express fee and the tax to be paid have not been removed.

Even so, Cao Shujie estimates that the remaining profit he can make is more than 20 million.

"My dear boy earns nearly 10 million a month." Cao Shujie had an idea now. He also wanted to ask Liu Furong if there was anything else he could do.

"Huh? I have to send some fruit to Lao Liu." Cao Shujie thought.

"In addition, the money from the bank should be repaid." Cao Shujie thought to himself.

I always feel uncomfortable during the Chinese New Year when I have bills hanging over me.

But he called Ma Changrong and just told him that he wanted to pay back all the loans.

Ma Changrong directly told him that the bank was on holiday and that he wanted to repay the loan after the year.

"You are so confident about me?" Cao Shujie was also speechless and didn't know what to say.

Since Ma Changrong is not in a hurry to ask for it, Cao Shujie is not in a hurry to give it to him and will wait until next year.

Just as he was thinking about meeting Liu Furong later and treating him to a meal, his wife came in: "Shujie, everyone is finished, don't you have a meeting?"

Cao Shujie nodded: "I'll be there right away."

When he came out of the small office, he saw a total of 63 people waiting in line.

Seeing Cao Shujie coming, everyone became quiet and looked at Cao Shujie one by one, wondering what he wanted to say.

"Are you tired?" Cao Shujie asked.

This opening statement was something no one expected.

But because of these words, the atmosphere at the scene relaxed.

Everyone's mood became more relaxed, and some people shouted: "Tired!"
