Fruit farmers in Yuwan Village collectively store their apples in a cold storage facility, gambling that the price will rise to 7.5 by the twelfth lunar month. Relying on his experience with cold chains, Cheng Chuan sees that the refrigeration units are overloaded and bound to blow. Facing mockery from the entire village, he sells off 680,000 catties at a cheap price of 4.3, pocketing 2.92 million. Sure enough, the ammonia pipe later bursts, the cold storage shuts down, and the village's fruit rots into sour water, leaving villagers who borrowed money utterly ruined. Cheng Chuan does not clean up messes for others; he only helps dispatch and ship goods. The following year, he introduces a three-basket risk-sharing contract with a 40% guaranteed floor, 30% spot goods, and 30% gambled on high Spring Festival prices, teaching the whole village how to stop-loss.
