Chapter 21: invaluable oranges

This fruit supermarket looked like had an area of ​​200 square meters. Everywhere you looked was dazzling and the decoration was extremely luxurious! A fruit supermarket was so shiny. Moreover, this was the most prosperous area in the county. Every inch of land was very valuable. The annual rent for such a store was a terrifying figure, right? "Hey, what are you doing? Bring the oranges here quickly." Seeing Francis in a daze, Maya pinched his waist and said angrily. "Hiss! It hurts!" After Francis came to his senses, he said speechlessly, "You must be a lobster!!" Francis was very strong and quickly moved all the oranges down and moved them into the small warehouse behind the fruit shop. "Hey, it's just a fruit shop. Do you want to make it so big? Isn't it too wasteful? How much is the rent this year?" Francis asked. "It's not expensive, just five hundred thousand!" Maya said with a smile. "Not expensive? Five hundred thousand? Just?" Francis suspected that he had heard wrongly. Five hundred thousand was an astronomical figure to him. He had never seen what half a million looked like in his entire life. "Hey, don't act like you've never seen the world, okay?" Maya rolled her eyes charmingly and said, "You are also a shareholder of the fruit shop now. You should not take the rent per year seriously." "All right." Francis nodded. He felt that his ideas were indeed going to change. Didn't act like a bumpkin! If nothing else, just said that the village could now earn tens of thousands a day from purchasing fruits, and in a month, it would be close to 300,000 dollars! "Francis!" Maya turned her gaze to Francis and asked, "What name should we give for this orange?" "Oranges are oranges. What else do you want to call them?" Francis was a little confused and said, "If it's not called orange, can it be called watermelon?" "..." Maya rolled her eyes and said angrily, "You are so... stupid. We want to fully spread the reputation of this orange and make it the signature of our Fresh Fruits, so that people will mention it. This orange will remind them of Fresh Fruits! Otherwise, why do you think I would be willing to give you 20% of the shares?" No matter how expensive these oranges were sold, due to supply problems, they could not be worth 20% of Fresh Fruits shares! What Maya was interested in was the market influence that this orange could bring, and she would completely build the reputation of Fresh Fruits. She was not willing to just live in this poor small county. She wanted to make a career and let some people see that she, Maya Su, was not just a vase! "Then let's call it... Qingshan Orange!" Francis thought for a while and said. "The orange comes from Qingshan Village and is called Qingshan Orange. It's a good name. Okay, let's call it Qingshan Orange." Maya immediately decided that the oranges watered by Francis with "spiritual liquid" would be called Qingshan oranges. At that moment, Maya directed the store clerks to vacate the most conspicuous position in the fruit supermarket, and then placed Qingshan oranges. "How much do you plan to sell these oranges per pound?" Francis asked. He had just looked at some fruits in the fruit shop, and the prices were a bit scary, ranging from more than ten to more than twenty per pound, and even more terrifying, there were three to fifty per pound. Of course, Francis had never even heard of those fruits that were extremely expensive and eaten them. "How much do you think is appropriate per pound?" Maya asked the clerk to print the labels and asked with a smile. "I think... if the price is too low, it will appear mediocre, so we have to sell it at a high price." Francis said seriously. "You finally enlightened a little bit." Maya nodded and said, "As you can see, this fruit shop is compatible with low-end fruits and high-end fruits, and Qingshan Orange is positioned as high-end fruit. The price of high-end fruits cannot be too low." "Yes, so I think it's more appropriate to sell it for ten dollars a pound." Francis clenched his fists and said excitedly. Oranges sold for ten a pound. It was something he had never dared to imagine before. "Ten dollars a pound?" Maya put her hand on her forehead and said, "Okay, it seems I still overestimated you!" At this time, the clerk had already taken the printed label and handed it to Maya. "Eighty...eight...a pound?" Looking at the price on the label, Francis trembled. He was sure that he had read it correctly! ! "Yes, eighty-eight a pound. This number is more auspicious, right?" Maya smiled and said. "You sell an orange for eighty-eight dollars per pound? Why don't you rob a bank?" Francis felt that Maya was really crazy. If she sold oranges at this price, he would probably not be able to find anyone else in the world. He used to sell it for five per pound because he had the mentality that rare things were more valuable. For this reason, he still felt a little guilty. As a result, now compared with Maya, he felt that he, a farmer, was really so kind! "Calm down, calm down!" Maya said angrily, "Look at you, are you making a fuss again? The value of an item has the most direct relationship with its location." "For example, if a dish of green vegetables is sold at a roadside stall, it is only worth a few dollars, but if a dish of small green vegetables is sold in a five-star hotel, then it is worth dozens of dollars!" "Besides, the value of this kind of orange is amazing. It's eighty-eight dollars per pound. It's not expensive at all." No matter what Maya said, Francis didn't believe that oranges could be sold for eighty-eight pounds per pound. "It seems you won't believe it." Maya shook her head and said, "Then just be optimistic. Someone will definitely buy it." As Maya spoke, she took out her mobile phone, opened WeChat, and said, "I have some high-end customer groups here. As long as I speak in the group, someone will come to buy oranges soon." "I do not believe!" Francis shook his head. He did not deny that there were many rich people, but no matter how rich they were, the money did not come from the flood. How about buying eighty-eight yuan a pound of oranges? What's the difference between that and burning money? Twenty minutes later... A convertible sports car stopped in front of the fruit shop, and a plump lady got out of the convertible sports car. "Maggie, you are here." Maya walked up to him and said sweetly. Maggie nodded and said, "I saw your message in the group. What kind of oranges are you selling for eighty-eight dollars per pound? Don't lie to old customers." "Maggie, look at what you said, have I ever lied to you? Which new fruit has ever disappointed you?" Maya said with a smile. "Yes! We can assured when we buy fruits from your store." Maggie smiled. She only cared about whether the fruit was delicious. As for the price, she didn't care at all. Her husband was the CEO of a listed company and was worth billions. Why would he care about fruit costing tens of dollars per pound? "Come on, Maggie, the original rule is to taste before you buy." Maya smiled and peeled an orange for Maggie and handed it to her hand.
