Return to 1981 and start from breaking off the engagement

Chapter 107 To whom?
Yao Weijun came to the county seat and went directly to the Industrial and Commercial Complex, which was the former diversified business office.

The first floor has been converted into a service hall, but there are not many people who come to do business, and the hall seems deserted.

Yao Weijun walked to the counter and explained his purpose, and took out the documents issued by the commune and the village.

As one of the first people to apply for a self-employed license, he naturally aroused the curiosity of the staff and carefully inquired about many aspects of information. Finally, he handed Yao Weijun several forms and told him to fill them out carefully and sign them.

Finally, the staff took back the completed form and told Yao Weijun to go back and wait for notification. The specific progress of the process could not be informed at the moment.

The whole process ended in just over half an hour, but the subsequent approval process probably won't be that quick.

Yao Weijun walked out of the general office without intending to go to You Damin. After all, the latter had a public official job. Unlike him, who had free time, he would not discuss the matter of taking over the clothing job tomorrow when You Damin went to collect goods in the morning. Late.

Because of the wedding, the speculation was stopped for two days. On the day of the wedding banquet, I told You Damin that normal supply would resume tomorrow morning.

He rode his motorcycle on the streets of the county town, paying special attention to the stalls on the roadside. When he saw a fruit seller, he would stop and observe for a while.

After turning a few streets, he stopped in front of a fruit stall in front of the county cinema.

"Comrade, what do you want to buy?" The stall owner saw him approaching and enthusiastically chatted up, "Our fruits are all fresh. Did you see these bananas? The goods just arrived last night. You are in time. If you want Don’t you want some?”

"How do you sell these apples?"

Yao Weijun picked up an apple, sniffed it, and asked casually.

"The market price is [-] cents per pound. I guarantee that each one will be crispy and sweet!"

The stall owner introduced.

"Okay, give me two dollars."

After Yao Weijun finished speaking, he deliberately asked curiously: "You only sell fruits here? Do you have canned food?"

"There are really no cans. If you want to sell them, you still have to go to the store. I'm sorry!"

The stall owner said he was measuring the apples and smiled apologetically.

"Why don't you put in some? You sell fruit to begin with. If you put a few cans on the table, someone will definitely buy it. Besides, it will be convenient for us buyers, right?"

Yao Weijun suggested kindly.

"Hey, what you said is true. I also want to get cans and buy them as well. Who doesn't know that those things are in short supply?"

The stall owner smiled helplessly when he heard this, "But there is no cannery in our county. Besides, there is a cannery. With my small business, they won't even let me in, so where can I get the goods?"

Having said this, he deliberately leaned forward and whispered: "To tell you the truth, the fruit I sell is only obtained through trust relationships. When it comes to investigation, it may not be available!

To put it bluntly, I just make a living, which is better than working. I don’t want to do that much! "

Yao Weijun smiled and said nothing, and did not continue chatting with the stall owner.

He mainly wanted to understand the thoughts of the fruit stall owners in the county about canned food, and would not really take the time to discuss cooperation one by one in person.

Because that is too time-consuming, not only inefficient but also unstable. The supply and settlement alone will take up a large part of the time. When there are other options, there is no need at all.

And his plan was to talk to You Damin first about the sale of canned red dates in sugar water in Shuyun County.

If You Damin is willing to cooperate, that would be the best. If you don't have this idea, it doesn't matter.

He believes that as long as he spends more energy, he can also find out who wholesales and sells fruits in Shuyun County. It would also be a good idea to discuss cooperation in the past.

As for the first consideration of cooperating with You Damin, the main reason is to value this buddy's future upward path. Cooperating with him can reduce a lot of troubles in all aspects in the future.

Next, Yao Weijun went to other places and chatted with several fruit stall owners. He became more confident about the distribution and sale of canned sugar water.

Seeing that it was getting late, he returned to Jianchang Village relaxedly.

Not long after he entered the house, his sister-in-law learned that he was back and told his father that Yao Xiangui had been here in the afternoon and asked him to go to the greenhouse when he came back.

So Yao Weijun asked his sister-in-law to take the fruits he bought to the south courtyard to divide some, and then went out again.

When we arrived at the greenhouse, we found that there were many more villagers, all of whom had already followed the original group of people.

"Junzi, they have all figured it out. The people who want to build a greenhouse with you are not at home in the afternoon, so I will let them learn from it first. Is it okay?"

When his father Yao Xiangui saw him coming in, he quickly pulled him out of the shed and explained in a low voice.

"This is a good thing. In the future, when I am away, as long as there is someone in the village who is willing to come and study, you can just agree on my behalf. As for people, the more the better!"

Yao Weijun said with a smile.

"That's it, I'm relieved. Anyway, what I told them is the same as what you told your Uncle Xianping yesterday. Everyone expressed their willingness to build the second set of greenhouses with you!"

Father Yao Xiangui had an exciting smile on his face and an excited tone.

"Well, you can just say this when I'm not around from now on. My goal is for everyone in the village to participate. By then, our Jianchang Village will be covered with greenhouses. By selling mushrooms every year, we will be able to completely lift everyone out of poverty." hat!"

Yao Weijun was also very happy. He couldn't stay outside chatting with his father, so he went into the greenhouse again and greeted the villagers who had just joined today with a smile and said some words of encouragement.

After taking care of things in the greenhouse, he went to the place where the cellar was dug, chatted with Chen Shoushan and smoked a cigarette, and then returned home.

He would go to pick up Xiunan later and have dinner at Yu's house in the evening. Yao Weijun returned home and tidied up briefly before walking towards the village.

The Yu family was extremely satisfied with his son-in-law, and specially prepared fine wine and food to entertain him grandly.

Finally, Yao Weijun had enough to eat and drink, and took his daughter-in-law, Xiunan, to see her off with her father-in-law's family, and then they both returned home to rest.

Early the next morning, You Damin arrived on time.

During the weighing and loading process, Yao Weijun pulled him into the main room to drink tea and chat.

"Brother You, I'm planning to do some other business recently, are you interested?"

Yao Weijun said straight to the point with a smile.

He was already very familiar with You Damin, so there was no need to beat around the bush, which would make him look petty. "Oh? Are you trying to figure out how to make money again? Hey, you really can't take your time. Isn't it good for us to make peanuts and melon seeds? Why do we need to change them? Every other line is like a mountain. You'd better take it easy. !”

You Damin obviously misunderstood what he meant, thinking that Yao Weijun was going to change his career and stop using peanuts and melon seeds.

"Don't get me wrong, I'll still do it with melon seeds and peanuts. In addition, I also want to process canned fruits and plan to find someone in the county to help distribute them. I've understood it, and there will definitely be no problem in making money from this!
Brother You, we have always cooperated very well, so I want to talk to you first. "

Yao Weijun suppressed his smile and said seriously.

"..." You Damin was startled for a moment, then frowned slightly and said, "Have you made cans before?"

Yao Weijun did not answer him, but turned around and left the room. He quickly brought a bottle of canned red dates with sugar water and placed it in front of You Damin.

"You...did you make this yourself?" You Damin looked suspicious. After picking it up, he looked at the swollen red dates inside and murmured.

"Open it and try it to see if it tastes right?"

Yao Weijun smiled and nodded.

You Damin did as he was told, and unscrewed the iron lid of the can with great effort, and took a sip of the slightly thick sugar water directly from the bottle. His eyes suddenly lit up, and then he sucked a red date and silently sipped it in his mouth. Chew it and smash it up.

"Hey, it tastes good. It's definitely comparable to what's sold in stores in the county!"

He got a little excited and couldn't help but ask: "Brother Yao, this must be steamed, right? Many families here also make this stuff, but the taste is completely different from yours. There is no such thing as canned food." Taste, tell me, how did you do it?"

Yao Weijun smiled and said nothing, and asked at the right time: "How about this bottle of canned red dates with sugar water, if I give you the entire streets and alleys of Shuyun County to sell, will it be sold?"

Locals in the suburbs of Beijing occasionally have the habit of making canned food at home, but the taste is similar to Yao Weijun's before. Because no citric acid is added, it is always different from the canned goods sold in stores.

"I don't think it's a big problem!" You Damin became excited, with excitement flashing in his eyes, "Brother Yao, this kind of can can be completely produced. You will be in charge of production and I will be in charge of sales. Tell me how much you plan to sell a bottle. ?”

"Brother Yu, what do you think?"

Yao Weijun tore open the cigarette case and handed over a cigarette, then lit one himself.

"Let me tell you, cans in stores basically cost three yuan a bottle. The yellow peach ones are [-] cents more expensive, but you have to buy them with a ticket."

You Damin thought for a moment and said decisively: "Then let's just sell the red dates for three and a half yuan! After all, we don't want tickets!

When the time comes, I'll find some fruit sellers to cut the cans down and wait to collect the money! "

"Is it easy to sell for three and a half yuan? Isn't the price a bit high..." Yao Weijun said thoughtfully.

"Don't worry, I promise you won't! I used to buy this stuff when I went to visit my father-in-law before I got married. When the sales department was in short supply, a bottle of canned yellow peach on the black market could cost up to four yuan! "

You Damin continued confidently: "There must be few people buying in the commune. After all, it is still quite expensive. But people in the county basically have jobs, and their living standards will always be much higher. Don't worry about the price. It is definitely not expensive." What a problem!”

Yao Weijun nodded slightly when he heard this and said seriously:
"That's it. Anyway, I will only deliver goods to you from the county seat. You decide the price. If we do this, I will give you a profit of [-] cents per bottle. After all, this profit point is estimated to be almost [-] points. , we settle the bill at two yuan and seventy cents per bottle, what do you think?"

"One bottle earns [-] yuan, ten bottles is [-] yuan, one hundred bottles is [-] yuan, oh! If I sell hundreds of bottles a day, it will almost equal my current salary for a whole year!"

You Damin murmured the calculation, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face, "Brother Yao, this settlement is no problem. If you can really guarantee my daily supply, this business will be more exciting than the peanut and melon seeds business!"

"Why else would I bother with this? Haha..."

Yao Weijun couldn't help laughing when he saw that he agreed to the settlement unit price.

The cost of a bottle of canned food is about sixty cents. If you settle with You Damin for two yuan and seventy cents, you will have a profit margin of a little more than two yuan.

Calculated at two yuan, Yao Weijun couldn't help but feel a sense of expectation in his heart when he thought of the 25 cans and bottles he had customized.

If all 25 bottles and cans are sold, he will make a net profit of 50!

Of course, You Damin alone would definitely not be able to complete this volume of goods in Shuyun County. When he is free later, Yao Weijun plans to go to the capital to discuss cooperation with those self-employed fruit wholesalers on the black market.

Currently, there are only canned red dates in sugar water. In the future, he plans to make some canned fruits made of mixed fruits to attract customers' interest in buying.

"In a few days, you can go back and contact some wholesale fruit sellers first, so that you can distribute them at any time when the goods are available."

After Yao Weijun finished speaking, he added with a smile, "We are still settling in cash. Your brother You's family has a big business. I have invested all my money in making this can and am eager to get my money back. Brother You, you have to understand." My problem."

"No problem, my friend will definitely not have a hard time helping you in this regard!"

You Damin readily agreed and said with a grateful smile: "Brother Yao, you have something good in mind for me. I will remember this favor. Between us friends, we will definitely help those who need to be helped!"

When Yao Weijun heard this, he put down his tea cup and changed the topic to the clothing factory.

"Brother You, I really have something I want to ask you for help with recently."

"Oh? Tell me, what's the matter?"

You Damin lit a cigarette again and asked boldly.

"I know that our county's No. [-] Garment Factory has a lot of outsourced work, such as sewing zippers, ordering buttons, hemming trousers and hems, etc. Can you come forward and contact me so that we can get back to you?"

When Yao Weijun said this, he explained in a serious tone: "Don't worry, we rural people are not good at anything else. We will definitely work quickly and well, and we can maintain quality and quantity, and there will be no mistakes!"

"..." You Damin was obviously startled, and he quickly pointed at Yao Weijun and sighed with a smile, "Oh, I can see it, you really don't make enough money, even the clothing outsourcing work. Are you thinking about it? Do you have so much energy? Haha..."

He laughed a few times and then waved his hand cheerfully, "Okay, I am friends with the production director of the county's No. [-] Garment Factory. As for outsourcing work, who should I give it to? It's just a matter of words!"

"That's good, Brother You, don't leave at noon, let's have a drink together!"

"No, no, no, I have to go to the county military compound to visit my old comrades in the afternoon. I can't delay this. Let's do it next time. Next time, when you get the cans out in batches, let's have a good celebration and a drink!"

"..."

The two discussed some details about canning cooperation and taking over work at the No. [-] Garment Factory, and they had a great time.

After the goods on the tricycle outside were loaded, You Damin took out the money, settled the bill, and left with a happy face.
