Starting from selling lunch boxes at the construction site

Chapter 286 A Few Cents Are Enough!
The calmer the words, the stronger the shock.

In the afternoon, the children's words, "This is a domestic animal raised for the teachers" and Li Sixin's words, "The children in the mountains are full of energy, and a two-kilometer journey is nothing to them", have been lingering in Xu An's mind, repeatedly. appear alternately.

After tossing and turning for a long time, finally Xu An sighed, tiptoedly lifted the quilt, left the warm bed, put on his coat and walked out of the room.

As soon as he came out of the room, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a figure leaning on the balcony. Looking up, this figure was Xu Heping.

"Why don't you go to bed so late, and stand here in a daze?" Xu An tightened his clothes, walked to Xu Heping, and stood with him.

"Can't sleep." Xu Heping glanced at Xu An: "Are you waking up at night?"

"No." Xu An shook his head and said with a smile, "Just like you, I can't sleep."

After these words were over, the two fell into a long silence, watching the bright moon in the sky quietly, watching the fairy clouds cover the moon little by little, and then left little by little. Still only the bright moon.

"Today I chatted with those children about going to school. Do you know why Secretary Li didn't answer the question about your school's enrollment rate?" Xu Heping's voice was very soft, deep, and dull, just like the one he used to The image of Kid King is very unsuitable.

"Well, what did the kids say?"

"Most people here in Hezibao don't go to school until they are eight years old. Parents don't pray for them to be successful in their studies. They just hope that they can read and write. In the future, they can enter school at the age of eight without doing blind work. After six years, they will be 14 years old. , is a young adult. Most of them are taken by their parents to construction sites and factories to work half-price to earn money, a few stay at home to do farm work, very few people can go to junior high school.”

As Xu Heping said, he suddenly turned his head to look at Xu An, showing a meaningful expression.

"There are usually about 100 students in the sixth grade in this primary school. Guess how many of these 100 students can continue to study in junior high school?"

From Xu Heping's tone and expression, it is not difficult to analyze that this number is definitely too small, otherwise he would not ask such a question.
"nine?"

"No." Xu Heping shook his head.

"Seven?"

"No." Xu Heping shook his head again, and then revealed the answer: "Three, only three out of 100 people can go to junior high school."

"But, isn't there nine years of compulsory education?" Xu An was dumbfounded when he heard these numbers, and even had a guess: "Could it be."

"The policy has been fully implemented, but it is not the tuition fees that stop them from going to higher education, but the living expenses?"

"Living expenses?" Xu An murmured and repeated the word.

This Li Sixin once said that he almost dropped out of school because of the living expenses at that time. It has been more than ten years, and this stumbling block still exists.
"One semester's accommodation fee is one hundred, and one month's food expenses are about one hundred and fifty. One semester is five months, and the living expenses add up to nearly 1000 yuan, which is 2000 yuan a year."

This is enough. The average annual income of the village here is only a little over [-], and a child spends [-] a year just to study, but a family here usually has two or more children whose ages are almost the same. one or two years old
Xu An completely understood Li Sixin's silence when facing his own problems. Unless people's income can be raised, otherwise this is an unsolvable matter.

Hey----

"When I heard what they said, I felt an urge to give them a hand, but..." Xu Heping sighed leisurely, and did not continue.

"Isn't it just helping them now?" Xu An slapped Xu Heping on the shoulder suddenly: "Help them find a way out for the crops they harvested, and exchange the agricultural products for real money. For the better, these things will slowly change.”

Before Xu Heping could answer, Xu An continued.

"The acquisition personnel need to be stationed here for a long time. Not to mention, they need to work here for at least three to five months a year. They can't always live here at the village branch office every time they come here. And I saw it yesterday It’s not too cold for the sorting and packing site, but after half a month, it’s going to snow, and it’s so cold that I can’t work at all, plus the follow-up shabu-shabu.”

"En." Xu Heping looked at Xu An calmly, waiting for his next words.

"I just thought, why not just rent a piece of land here and build a small factory. By then, warehouses, dormitories, and workshops will all be used. The rental fee here should not be expensive. The labor is also cheap, and there is no need to buy any equipment, and it should be able to be done for a hundred thousand."

"Are you planning to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with Hezibao?"

"En." Xu An nodded: "Wan Tangwen exported and sorted out the sales data of Hezibao's agricultural specialty products, and sent them to me. The data is quite good, and it is also a good income for us. A long-term cooperation is also a mutually beneficial thing.”

"That's pretty good." Hearing Xu An's words, Xu Heping felt that the big rock in his heart became smaller and looser, but he seemed to think of something in the next second, and asked: "The candidates for the acquisition personnel have been confirmed. ?"

"Not yet. Look for it slowly after you go back. It's probably not easy to find. I have to trouble you to help me look here for a while."

"What do you think of me?" Xu Heping interrupted Xu An's words.

"What's the matter?" Xu An suddenly reacted in the middle of speaking, and said in surprise: "You mean, you want to stay here as a factory purchaser?"

"Yeah, don't you think I'm a good fit?" One reason came out of Xu Heping's mouth: "First of all, I'm someone you can trust, so you don't have to worry about this job if you entrust it to me; secondly, these days Kung fu, I have become familiar with the children here, and you also know that children are the least likely to hide anything. If there is any change here, I will know in time; in the end, I quite like it here."

"You have come here, what about the dozen or so fish ponds in your house?"

"Aren't my parents still there? Besides, now that the village is engaged in tidal flat farming, my parents are also considering whether to transfer the fish pond and focus on following the village."

"No matter how fast it is, we have to wait until next year. It's already October this year, so it's too late, right?"

"That's right, the second grandpa has already planned. Just three months before the new year, I will raise prawns for everyone to practice. My parents were invited as instructors. Now I have gone to see the seedlings. When the tidal flats are leveled, the equipment will be installed. Once it’s done, we can stock it directly, and if it goes well, we can release a batch in time for the Chinese New Year, and let everyone see the return money!”

"Why didn't you hear what Second Grandpa said about it?"

"We're still discussing. If I didn't come to see my parents, I wouldn't know."

"Oh, it's like this." Xu An nodded, and patted Xu Heping on the shoulder again: "You should discuss it with your family first, after all, the conditions here are quite difficult, it doesn't matter if you come here once in a while, three or five The moon is here, it's not good."

Xu Heping wanted to say something, but Li Sixin's door opened with a creak. Li Sixin rubbed his eyes and walked towards the stairs. After taking two steps, he saw Xu An staring at him. I was taken aback immediately.

"Boss Xu, it's so late. Why are you all standing here? I'm shocked!" Li Sixin asked curiously, patting the beating heart lightly.

"We met at night, Secretary Li, you go to the bathroom too, let's go together!"

Xu An immediately pulled Xu Heping and followed Li Sixin. The three of them went to the bathroom together and came back together. After returning, they each returned to their respective rooms, and the night fell into silence.

After returning to the room, Xu An still didn't feel sleepy, so he simply sat down at the table, took out his notebook and pen, and began to calculate.

After walking for two days, you can see that the villages in Hezibao produce a wide variety of crops. Potatoes and peanuts are common crops, and there are also many economic crops such as prickly pears, crispy plums, pears, grapes, etc. If it is true The purchase factory has been set up, so it is definitely impossible to only purchase potatoes and peanuts, and other commercial crops that can be used for sale must also be tried.
It’s just that, so many crops and fruits are all placed in Xu’s Braised Taobao Store, and if it exists for a long time, there is no distinction between priority and secondary. It is best to build another Taobao Store for sales The harvest from Hezibao.
After recording this idea in his notebook, Xu An took out his mobile phone and looked through this type of Taobao shop.

At this stage, Taobao has not launched the video function of the main picture, and the idea of ​​putting some attractive farmland photos or delicious food on the homepage cannot be realized for the time being; the details page can insert videos, after Lu Shengnan has formed a shooting team, you can Shoot a three to five minute promotional video and put it up.
Flipping through one store after another, with the repetition of this action, the difficulties gradually rose.

Aha————

While yawning, Xu An operated his mobile phone to exit the Taobao page, but because of yawning, he made a mistake, and clicked into a product page, and even scrolled into the product details page.

Ok?
A red heart sign attracted Xu An's attention.

[Public welfare baby: Each transaction will donate 0.02 yuan to the rescue of hearing-impaired children, and a total of 6 donations have been made. 】

Charity baby?What is this stuff?
The drowsiness that came up just now suddenly dissipated a little, Xu An switched the page to the browser search page, entered 'public welfare baby' and searched.

[This is a public welfare program launched by Taobao in 2006. The store itself decides whether to participate, the amount of donation after each order is completed, etc.]

[.In 2011, 21.4 sellers participated in the charity program, donating a total of 814.4 million yuan, and 1.09 million donations have helped nearly one million people]

At present, the total daily orders of Xu’s Lo-Mei Store are around 3000-5000 copies. Taking the minimum number as the calculation, a donation of two cents per product is 60 yuan a day, and 1800 yuan a month, which is enough to pay for Hezibao. The fee for a student to attend junior high school for one semester. That is to support twelve people for one year
If the amount of this donation is raised to four cents, that is 24 people!

Or, as Xu's Braised Meat or Hezibao's agricultural products became more and more famous and their sales volume increased, the amount of donation was only two cents, which increased exponentially!

Looking at the data in the pen, an imperfect but feasible plan appeared in his mind, and the pen in his hand quickly wrote line after line of text on the note
