Chapter 156: Banana Disaster

Everyone's eyes were on Li Bin's face. Since Li Bin entered the business world, he has made repeated moves and has made achievements almost every time. I wonder what other good ideas he can come up with this time.

Li Bin paused slightly, looked at Zhao Sihan and asked:

"Brother, bananas are seasonal fruits. I wonder how long can unripe bananas be stored at room temperature?"

Zhao Sihan replied without hesitation:

"If placed in a cool place, covered with straw paper, and keep the grass paper humid, it can be stored for about twenty-five to thirty days."

Li Bin nodded and said:

"How much is your total output?"

Zhao Sihan replied:

"The total output of Beihai is about 400,000 tons. It is mid-August, and half of the banana production period has passed. We still have about 250,000 tons of bananas that have not been picked. The key banana production area has about 700,000 tons, and the entire Guangxi Province has almost 1.7 million tons of production. There should be about 60% of the banana production left. The banana ripening period is delayed to October at most."

It can be seen that Zhao Sihan is still very concerned about this matter.

Li Bin pondered for a while and said:

"Let's talk about you Beihai City first. You Beihai City has a population of about 500,000. Your city will work hard to carry out publicity activities and promote the love banana. There should be no problem in consuming 1 million kilograms, that's 1,000 tons."

Zhao Sihan nodded and said:

"Beihai City, including the county under its jurisdiction, has a total population of 1.5 million. We can consume 2,000 tons per month, but this is useless. It only accounts for less than one percent of the total output, which is too far apart."

Li Bin agreed with Zhao Sihan's opinion and continued:

"You should have already made sales to non-banana-producing areas near you. How much can you consume per month? There should be a statistical data in your city."

"It can be sold for about 10,000 tons."

Li Bin nodded:

"If the sales scope is expanded a little, it should be up to 20,000 to 30,000 tons. You should focus on selling to Guangdong. Guangdong has strong purchasing power, and the difference should be able to make up for the extra freight."

Zhao Sihan shook his head, looked at Li Bin and said:

"This banana disaster is mainly due to the good weather in Guangxi this year. The banana production period and Hainan's banana production period collided. A large number of bananas poured into the market almost at the same time. The market has been severely saturated, especially in provinces such as Guangdong and Fujian. They have basically been occupied by Hainan bananas. There is no profit to squeeze in. It can only be a result of both sides suffering. The province has communicated with relevant departments in Hainan Province, hoping that they can give up some of the market and overcome the difficulties together, but there is no result yet. Alas, every day that delays, banana farmers will lose one more part of their blood and sweat."

"Banana disaster?" Zhao Wenge and Li Bin frowned. The high yield of bananas actually acted as a new term for "Banana disaster". It is conceivable that bananas are already the nightmare for the Guangxi government and the people.

Li Bin looked at Zhao Wenge, and Zhao Wenge nodded slightly. He would communicate with the person in charge of Hainan on this matter. Hainan Province's overall economy is one step higher than Guangxi Province. It is natural to overcome difficulties with Guangxi Province. Otherwise, vicious competition will not be beneficial to both sides.

Li Bin thought for a while, then said:

"According to your opinion, the remaining bananas in Beihai are relatively small in Guangxi Province, and the hardest hit area should be Qinzhou."

Before he knew it, Li Bin actually used the derogatory term "disaster area".

"Can you think of ways to get out?"

"Export?" Zhao Sihan glared at the words "Exit" when he heard the words "Exit": "Vietnam, Myanmar, and Laos are all places where bananas are produced. Who do we export them to?"

Li Bin was really almost defeated by this brother-in-law. Only these countries are closer to Guangxi, so when they talk about the export, Zhao Sihan naturally thought of these countries.

"Brother, go back and ask the railway department. I think the difficulties in railway dispatch should be mainly concentrated on routes to the south and coastal areas, such as economically active areas. If transportation to the northwest is easier to solve, then this matter will be much easier to solve. You can contact the business departments of countries such as Russia, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, that is, the member states of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization to see if you can sell all the remaining bananas to them. It doesn't matter if you don't have money. We can exchange bananas for them. You can consider what you want to change. Haha, Brother Sihan, if you can exchange bananas for an aircraft carrier, I guarantee you can become an international figure this year and cover up the limelight of our father."

Zhao Sihan glanced at Zhao Wenge and laughed haha.

Li Bin continued:

"If the transportation to the northwest is smooth, you can also consume a part of it in the big and small cities along the way. In short, just one sentence: if you can sell more, you can sell more. Don't be disgusted with the lack of meat, it's the most practical thing to exchange for money."

Zhao Sihan happily raised his thumbs at Li Bin, and couldn't wait to stand up and walk aside. Regardless of what time it was, he took out the phone from his pocket and reported to the secretary of the Beihai Municipal Party Committee on the solution to the banana disaster. Now he is racing against time, so there are not so many concerns. Seeing that Zhao Sihan had finished reporting, Zhao Wenge waved to him, took the phone from his hand and said:

"It's Secretary Wencai, I'm Zhao Wenge. Well, hello, just now, please report to Secretary Dong of the Provincial Party Committee on how to solve the overproduction of bananas. Please ask Secretary Dong to find relevant experts to study the feasibility. If it is feasible, please arrange and implement it as soon as possible to maximize the losses of the banana farmers. Yes, that's it, okay, goodbye."

Zhao Sihan returned to the table and sat down, picked up the wine glass to Li Bin. It goes without saying that thank you. There is no need for the family to be so unfamiliar. The vast majority of banana farmers themselves cannot represent them. They are just a small official with sesame and mung beans. It is rare, Zhao Sihan gave a humor:

"I won't say anything if you are polite. I'll send you two baskets of bananas tomorrow."
