Return to 1981 and start from breaking off the engagement

Chapter 49 Everything is ready
"Brother Zhou, I'm not taking it back this time, I plan to take it long term."

Yao Weijun said calmly: "As long as you have the goods, I can get a thousand pounds or eight hundred pounds almost every week!"

"Uh! How can you ask for so much?" Zhou Liqiang looked startled and frowned slightly, showing his contemplation.

"Haha... don't worry, Brother Yao is not joking with you. He has joined a partnership with others in the village to do some speculation business, so the quantity of goods needs to be relatively large, so you, Lao Zhou, can tell you whether you can help or not!"

Seeing this, Xu Wen immediately smiled and explained first.

"As you said, the Agricultural Technology Station sent me to Xingegezhuang to conduct a sunflower planting pilot project. I wish someone could come to buy raw melon seeds!"

After hearing his explanation, Zhou Liqiang immediately relaxed his brows, pushed the brewed tea to Yao Weijun and the other two, and continued:

"Well, brother Yao's request is not small. I'll go tell the village party secretary about this. After all, he has to mobilize for the melon seed harvest later. You two wait for me."

After saying that, he hurried to the main house and village department.

After about 20 minutes, Zhou Liqiang brought an old man in his 60s into the house and introduced to Yao Weijun that this man was Wang Tongfu, the branch secretary of Xingge Village.

Yao Weijun stood up to say hello. After the four of them sat down again, they discussed the purchase of raw melon seeds.

Finally, with Wang Tongfu's nod, a cooperation plan was formally agreed upon.

The harvest period of the sunflowers grown on a large scale in Xinggezhuang lasts until the end of October. During this period, one thousand kilograms of sunflowers can be supplied to Yao Weijun every week at a price of two cents per kilogram.

In addition, Yao Weijun made a special point that one thousand kilograms of raw melon seeds every week must be stamped by the village party secretary Wang Tongfu in the name of "market distribution" to prevent anyone from settling old scores.

Xinggezhuang is a pilot village in the county, and some policies are originally allowed by the county leaders. Yao Weijun's conditions are not harsh for Wang Tongfu.

Therefore, he happily agreed and promised to send a tractor from the village to deliver goods every week. Zhou Liqiang would be responsible for handing over and getting the money back.

After the matter was settled, Wang Tongfu enthusiastically stayed for dinner. Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Yao Weijun went to the village agency to buy some cigarettes and alcohol, and the four of them had lunch at the village headquarters.

"Brother Xu, please transport the shelled peanuts to the village for me tomorrow. Also bring a thousand kilograms, and we will weigh them together and settle the bill."

On the way back, Yao Weijun and Xu Wenyuan also agreed to purchase goods.

Now that the supply of goods has been arranged and everything is ready, it’s time to go all out and fry melon seeds and peanuts continuously.

The next morning, Xu Wenyuan's tricycle took the lead in arriving at the threshing floor of Jiachang Village. After the weighing and settlement, Xinggezhuang's tractor also showed up.

Working until noon, Yao Weijun paid more than 400 yuan and received more than 2000 kilograms of goods.

After dinner in the afternoon, my sister-in-law and I started frying it in big pots.

Yao Weijun made a simple calculation. According to the current speed of his sister-in-law, she can fry almost three hundred kilograms a day. If she is given a few more helpers, who are only responsible for watching over the heat and cutting ingredients, the amount of fried seeds will have to be doubled at least.

"Let's talk to Chuntao tomorrow. As long as she can endure the hardship, we'll keep her."

While Yao Weijun was busy, he was thinking about hiring people next.

That night, he went to the village party secretary Li Qiming with two bottles of wine.

"Uncle Ming, you and Director Xiao have high hopes for me, so naturally I can't just wait for the boss to feed me, so I recently asked a friend to help me and spent money on a side job. You should also know, right? Buy and sell.

I plan to make a trip first, but we don’t have enough manpower at the moment. I would like to ask Uncle Ming to find two people in the village who can work quickly and are not afraid of hardship. I can give them wages and interview them in detail. Do you think so? "

Yao Weijun had carefully considered hiring people in the name of the village party secretary.In this way, it will appear more formal, and with the village meeting, he has been regarded as the leader of the development of sideline businesses and has a reputation. Even if some people in the village are jealous behind his back, they will naturally be unable to say anything.

"Full support! Haha... Weijun, just go ahead and try boldly. As for manpower, I promise to pick two capable and honest people to send to you!"

Li Qiming happily agreed. He was happy to see Yao Weijun really take action. As long as he did not apply for financial support from the village, everything else was easy to negotiate.

"Thank you, Uncle Ming. I'll go back first."

"Hey, bring the wine with you. If you have any problems in the future, come to me. Don't waste money."

"Uncle Ming, you are so polite. You should take my thoughts as your own. You have helped me so much. I don't know how to thank you!"

"Haha... Slow down on the road there. At noon tomorrow, I'll have someone go to the threshing floor to find you."

"Okay, Uncle Ming, please stay."

Yao Weijun left the party secretary's courtyard and returned to the threshing floor to rest.

Early the next morning, Chuntao came here with excitement on her face. She specially changed into a rural woman's dress, her hair was tied up, and her eyes were full of urgency.

"Sister Chuntao, the work may be a bit hard. If you feel you can't do it, just tell me anytime. It'll be okay."

Yao Weijun carefully arranged work tasks for her and told her that her monthly salary would be 20 yuan, and she would be given bonuses based on her work ability.

Chuntao was overjoyed, and under the guidance of Yao Weijun, she began to soak and dry melon seeds and peanuts. Her hands and feet were quick and she did the work without hesitation.

After lunch, the two people the party secretary Li Qiming had found also came.

Yao Weijun chatted with them separately. They also received a monthly salary of 20 yuan, bonuses for good work, and assigned tasks to each of them.

The older one is called Li Qixue, who is the cousin of party secretary Li Qiming. He is in his 50s. His wife died a few years ago, and the only girl is already married. She is relatively honest and good at work.

The other one is Aunt Qiuhe from the west of the village. She has never had any children in her life. Her wife is still there, but she is just a medicine jar. The burden on her family is also very difficult.

Yao Weijun asked her to partner with Chuntao to be responsible for soaking and draining in the rice shed, while Li Qixue was responsible for spreading and transporting the food. Then, when the sister-in-law cooked it, the three of them would put it into bags together.

As soon as there were more people, the frying speed immediately increased greatly. Yao Weijun was delighted to find that including his sister-in-law, these four people could fry at least eight or nine hundred kilograms of goods a day, supplying Lao Dai and his three joint ventures. More than enough, maybe even a lot more.

"Fortunately, now that I have a motorcycle, I can go out and find a few more collaborators, so that I can balance production and sales."

In the afternoon, he got on his motorcycle and went to three joint venture areas including Xiheba and told Lao Dai and the other three that they could take delivery of the goods tomorrow with the money.

Having a motorcycle is convenient. It used to take an hour to ride a bicycle, but now it only takes 10 minutes at most. It only took more than an hour to complete the three joint areas. It is convenient and easy.

Another day passed in the blink of an eye.

Yao Weijun carried fried peanuts and melon seeds on his back and rode a motorcycle to Xiheba first.

Now that he has sorted out all the links in the business, it's time to reap the rewards.

According to his model, once it is running, he can make money continuously, and the key is that it does not take up much of his own time.
