After the hare farm was completed and a large number of hares, space spirit springs and space grass were put on, it was already the end of July, and the rainy season in the Ginkgo area was really coming!

The monsoon from the Indian Ocean brings abundant rain, which is also the largest precipitation supplement in the entire northwestern Yunnan region in the year. It is precisely because of the three-month rainy season that the snow-capped mountains in northwestern Yunnan can maintain enough glaciers and provide a large amount of snow-capped melting water for the rivers in the region.

However, compared with the rainy season in other places, the rainy season in northwest Yunnan is not a rainy situation. It often causes the sun to appear immediately after heavy rain. The scene of sunrise in the east and raining in the west is basically performed every day.

The arrival of the rainy season has also had a certain impact on Jinghu Scenic Area. After all, many projects and tours need to be carried out outdoors. The rainfall pours down from time to time has become a major obstacle to the operation of the scenic area.

After the rainy season comes, tourists arriving at Ginkgo Village every day show a downward trend. The number of tourists received on a daily basis is only 20% of the previous period, and the number of people on weekends does not exceed 500.

For this situation, senior executives of Jinghu Company headed by Yang Yuanhang had long expected that while strengthening services, they are also constantly improving various hardware facilities in the scenic area to prepare for the peak passenger flow after the rainy season.

Overall, the Jinghu Scenic Area now relies more on the beautiful scenery of Jinghu, Qingling Mountain and surrounding areas to attract tourists. In fact, the design of the tourist projects and activities is still in its infancy. The Jinghu Scenic Area, which has just been established for half a year, cannot fully utilize the various resources in the scenic area. The development level is in the primary stage.

While the arrival of the rainy season has affected the operation of the scenic spots to a certain extent, it also gives the management a reflection and buffer, allowing them to adjust the work direction of the scenic spots in a timely manner according to the business conditions over the past six months, laying a better foundation for the subsequent development!

In the long-term planning of Jinghu Scenic Area, the number of tourists received by 300,000 per year is considered to be basically qualified. The current Jinghu Scenic Area is still a long way from this goal.

…………

As for the villagers of Ginkgo Village, they don’t care much about the decrease in tourists. After all, in the past six months, they have earned income for the past few years and are already very satisfied. What’s more, the arrival of the rainy season has also brought new income channels to the villagers, and it is not a loss when they go in and out.

The arrival of the rainy season also means that the wild fungus season begins in northwestern Yunnan. The villagers in the villages rushed into the jungle and meadow like ants, looking for such natural elves.

Hotels, restaurants and second-course dealers from all over southern Yunnan and even outside the province have also flocked to northwestern Yunnan to purchase various wild bacteria on site.

Southern Yunnan Province is the province with the largest output of wild fungi in the country. It can form a huge output value of billions every year, and the industrial chain derived from wild fungi has also become an important channel for many people to get rich. Especially in northwestern Yunnan, it is the world's largest matsutake mushroom production area. The number of matsutake mushrooms exported to Japan every year reaches thousands of tons, earning tens of millions of dollars in foreign exchange!

For the mountaineering people who go up the mountain to collect mushrooms, the wild fungi they have worked hard to collect can only sell their meager income. The expensive wild fungi in restaurants in big cities actually have little to do with them.

Take Matsutake, the most famous wild mushroom in northwestern Yunnan as an example. The purchase price at the place of origin is only about 100-200 yuan/kg. After packaging and preservation, the import and export enterprises will be delivered from Yaozhou to Haizhou by air freight, and then transferred to Japan. At this time, the export price of Matsutake is basically stable at more than 100 US dollars/kg. In the years of high yield, the purchase price of major import and export enterprises will be further reduced, compressing the income space of farmers and herdsmen.

The fresh matsutake purchased in Yaozhou on the same day can appear in the Tokyo supermarket the next morning, with the average retail price per kilogram reaching more than RMB 5,000! Sometimes, due to the influence of the production of matsutake, the price of matsutake on the Tokyo market can reach up to RMB 10,000 per kilogram!

In a sense, the profits of Matsutake are even higher than those of military-fire, poison-products-smuggling, but these profits have been seized by trading companies and retailers.

It is difficult for outsiders to understand the Japanese's fanaticism about Matsutake. This "king of delicacies" has a very high status in the lives of Japanese people. The Matsutake Season is a feast every year.

However, no matter how high the retail price of Matsutake in the Tokyo market is, it has little to do with the farmers and herdsmen in northwestern Yunnan. They can only barely get some cheap income when they enter the deep jungle in the rain every day!

For a long time, the export of matsutake mushrooms has been monopolized by several import and export companies in southern Yunnan Province. Farmers and herdsmen have no other sales channels and can only endure the exploitation of these monopoly enterprises.

However, starting this year, the "Ye's Trade" from coastal areas has joined the ranks of purchasing Matsutake, which has had a certain impact on the closed market.

With the emergence of competitors, other companies have raised their acquisition prices one after another, which has invisibly increased the income of farmers and herdsmen and stimulated them to search for pineapple in deeper jungles.

…………

At the beginning, after seeing the hot sales of "Jinghu Agricultural Products" in Haizhou, Ye Fan had the idea of ​​getting involved in the high-end food market. He originally wanted to open a specialty store of "Xiao Family Farm" on Ludao, but under Xiao Feng's persuasion, he decided to start with the Matsutake Export Business.

Ye’s Trade was established for more than 15 years. Although it is not large in scale, it has certain business in various countries and has good connections. Since it has decided to use the Japanese market as its main goal, Ye’s Trade has used the various connections it has mastered and successfully obtained the qualification to export wild fungi to Japan, and reached a supply agreement with the Tokyo supermarket.

After completing all the procedures and sales plans, Ye Fan and Xiao Moli took advantage of the opportunity to return to Ginkgo Village to celebrate Xiao Dapeng's admission to Shuimu University and began to set up wild fungus purchasing points in Yuji Town and Ginkgo Village.

If it were other foreign companies, if they wanted to intervene in the wild mushroom market with strong folk customs and relatively closed northwest Yunnan, they would probably not be able to open up any other acquisition points.

However, as one of the big families around Ginkgo Village and even Yuji Town, the Xiao family naturally has a huge influence. No one would object to the Xiao family's son-in-law participating in the wild fungi industry.

In this way, Ye's Trade gained a firm foothold in Yuji Town!

Compared with other companies, Ye's Trade focuses more on the acquisition of matsutake mushrooms. Although it was its first year of involvement in the import and export trade of matsutake mushrooms, it still carried out a series of actions in an orderly manner based on its years of experience in import and export trade.

Now, in Yuji Town, the purchase point set up in Ginkgo Village will clean the image of the matsutake harvested by farmers and herdsmen, keep it fresh before 11 o'clock in the morning, and then pack it and send it to Yaozhou Airport through a refrigeration truck.

Every day at 4 pm, a plane will be from Yaozhou to Haizhou. Matsutake can arrive at Haizhou International Airport at around 7 pm, and then transfer it to a late-night flight to Tokyo. The next morning, these matsutake produced in the depths of Biluo Snow Mountain can appear in the Tokyo supermarket!

The entire trade process did not exceed 24 hours. If Ye's Trade had not had a deep understanding of all aspects of import and export trade, it would have been impossible to do this.

Once the Matsutake cannot be sold within three days, it means that the best time for Matsutake to be eaten is missed, and it will not be sold at a good price! From this point of view, although Ye's Trade is first exposed to it

However, for Ye Fan and Ye’s trade, the matsutake mushroom purchased from farmers and herdsmen is just a pediatric department. The real highlight is Xiao Family Farm or Xiao Feng!

When Ye Fan followed Xiao Feng into the forest in the southwest corner of the farm after a rain, the dense matsutake mushrooms in front of him shocked him!

Among these mixed forests with a total area of ​​more than 10 square kilometers, except for a few wild fungi such as chanterelles, shiitake mushrooms, flower mushrooms, and morels, matsutake occupies every corner!

After deciding to enter the Matsutake market, Ye Fan also spent a lot of effort to understand the biological characteristics, growth environment, and artificial cultivation of Matsutake, and knew that Matsutake could not be fully artificially grown at present.

However, in this forest of the farm, the dense matsutake mushrooms are even higher than artificial planting density, which completely subverts Ye Fan's perception. Perhaps, Xiao Feng mastered the technology of large-scale matsutake mushroom planting, and this mountain forest will become a treasure pot!

He kept asking Xiao Feng, but Xiao Feng was smiling but silent, just asked Ye Fan to collect some samples and send them to Japan for evaluation and identification to determine the price!

Since obtaining the 50-year contracting rights of this forest at the beginning of the year, Xiao Feng has crazily scattered a large number of matsutake spores and space spiritual springs into the forest. After several months of hard work, it has finally reached the harvest season today.

At the beginning, Xiao Feng was still struggling with which fungi to grow, and he also wanted to grow more expensive truffles, but after thinking about it, Matsutake, which had higher yields and larger market capacity, was finally selected.

With the cheating device of Space Lingquan, the Matsutake mushroom from Xiaojia Farm breaks through the bottleneck that cannot be cultivated manually, and the taste is more delicious than the wild Matsutake mushroom, and can be priced according to the highest standards of wild Matsutake mushroom.

As a large supplier, Xiaojia Farm will naturally not just sell these matsutake mushrooms to bargain prices like ordinary farmers and herdsmen, but will deeply participate in the entire matsutake mushroom trading process and gain more benefits from it.

According to the agreement reached by Ye's Trade and Japanese retailers, Xiao Feng will obtain US$150 per kilogram of income from the sale of Matsutake mushrooms, which is worth approximately RMB 1,000 at the current exchange rate.

Xiao Feng conservatively estimates that the production of matsutake mushrooms in this forest is expected to reach 20 tons, which means that the matsutake mushrooms that have not invested any cost will bring about 20 million yuan to Xiao Feng!

It has to be said that the rainy season not only brought enough precipitation to the snow-capped mountains in northwestern Yunnan, but also made Xiao Feng's waist bag a little more bulging.
Chapter completed!
