After graduation, I went home to keep bees

Chapter 168

After working for more than two months, Jiang Xiaoman felt that he was running up and down, his eight-pack abs were about to come out, and his whole body was dark and thin. He finally got rid of the last batch of tea cakes and the remaining stock cleared.

Tired is really tired, but making money is also really making money.

After deducting the cost of purchasing tea cakes and mountain products, as well as the wages of employees, logistics and other expenses, Jiang Xiaoman actually earned more than 100 million in less than three months!

He didn't dare to tell anyone in the village about this amount!

Even at his father's place, he was afraid that the old man would talk bald when he was drunk, so he only told Jiang Youliang that he had earned 10,000+.

When asked by others, he said that this industry seems to have a lot of turnover, but in fact the gross profit is very low, and taxes have to be paid.

After all, no matter how poor people are these days, they still have TVs or smart phones. Think about the news that some Internet celebrities have to pay hundreds of millions of taxes at every turn. The common people don’t understand what tax rates are. Pay a lot of taxes.

It was a mistake, and Jiang Xiaoman was actually fooled by it.

Although he earned a lot of money, Jiang Xiaoman didn't dare to spend it, and temporarily saved it all in the bank.

He has already discussed with Shan Yan that after this year's autumn honey season is over, they will discuss with the village individually and plan to rent land to build a factory.

In the future, the business will grow bigger and bigger, so we can't run small workshops in our yard every year, can we?

Moreover, the scale is too large to rely on human labor alone. We still need to install some machines and recruit a group of stable employees. By then, their cooperatives will be able to transform into a "farmer cooperative enterprise" operating model.

This model is a model that has been proven by the market and is more suitable for rural entrepreneurship.

This is also impossible.

After the chaos of returning to the hometown to start a business in the past few years, everyone now knows that in starting a business in a rural area, in addition to choosing a good project, the relationship between neighbors is also very important.

Pulling farmers into cooperatives, becoming part of the entrepreneurial team, and bringing local people to make money together seems to be the key to the success of many similar projects.

This also coincides with Jiang Xiaoman's initial thoughts.

He was originally from Langshan Village. More than anyone else, he hoped that the uncles and aunts in the village would have a good life, and that children would have the opportunity to go to college. To attract more farmers to join the cooperative, the scale of production must be expanded. .

Therefore, they will have to build their own factories at the latest in the spring tea mining season next year.

100 million may not be enough.

Because in addition to the factory buildings, they also need to purchase machinery and equipment.

Originally, Jiang Xiaoman didn't dare to take such a big step, but Sun Zheyuan, the poverty alleviation cadre in the town, brought him good news——

I heard that some people in their town wanted to dig out the wild tea from Langshan the year before last. They bought all the machines and spent tens of thousands to set up a simple factory building. Unexpectedly, the green tea produced had no reputation and no brand. Nearby, the boss himself is reluctant to spend money on marketing, and in the end he can only compete in the low-end market.

I worked so hard for a whole year, and at the end of the year, I did the math, and I actually lost 10,000+!

The boss couldn't make it for two years. Not to mention wasting the savings that his family had worked hard outside for more than ten years, he even sold the house in the county seat. His wife wanted to divorce him. I had no choice but to close the factory, and followed my wife in despair to go into the factory to make screws.

"I heard that his machine is still there, and it has been used for more than a year. It should be in good condition. Would you like to go and have a look?" After calling, Sun Zheyuan sent the phone number of the owner.

Jiang Xiaoman had never bought a tea-making machine before. Fortunately, Shanyan had a wide range of roads, so he invited a knowledgeable person from the provincial capital, and the three of them went to the town together. The whole set of tea making machines has been bought.

Sun Zheyuan is right, at least [-]% of this machine is new, and the reason why it has not been sold is because the output is too embarrassing - big companies don't need such a small machine, and small workshops can't afford it. He also didn't know how to do it, and was deceived by others.

Shan Yan’s friends also advised them that if the factory wants to grow bigger in the future, it’s best to do it in one step. Even if they are looking for a bank loan, they must fix the factory buildings and machines.

Otherwise, after a few years of expansion, the depreciation of the machine will not sell much. If the factory is expanded and the land is approved, the price will probably be several times the current price.

Jiang Xiaoman thought about it, shook his head, and told Shan Yan and his friends what he thought——

"Brother Yan, don't make fun of me for being worthless. In fact, after graduating from university, I went back to my hometown to start a business. I originally wanted to spend more time with my father."

"I haven't grown my business yet, so I don't have time to accompany him. If I expand production and become a big boss, then my father will become a left-behind old man again if he runs outside all year round."

"How about this, Brother Yan, just today, let's talk about it. From now on, as long as my father is still here, I will not leave Langshan Village to do business. Whether it's beekeeping or tea cakes, I just need to earn enough money for me." The pension money with my father is enough."

"Actually, I have been regretting it for a while. I feel that I am sorry for my father. Originally, I wanted him to enjoy himself when I came back, but now that the business is getting bigger and bigger, my father is suffering and suffering with me."

"I've figured it out, so let's do it. After you buy this machine, let me use it. Brother Yan. If you want to open a big factory in the future, if you don't mind, give me a share. I won't do the work. , my father is already so old, I can't leave him alone in the mountains."

……

Shanyan was quite moved by what he said, and his friend's eyes were even red, and he couldn't help but walked up, held Jiang Xiaoman's hands, and patted him on the shoulder: "Good brother! Just rely on With your words, I, Tong Shuai, must make you my friend today!"

"You are so right! Back then, I just wanted to start a business and make a fortune. I ran all over the world, but in the end, I didn't make much money. Before my mother died, she wanted to take another look at me. Didn't wait, alas!"

Tong Shuai was originally here to help Shanyan, but he unexpectedly met such a filial son as Jiang Xiaoman, which suits his taste so much. If you are busy, you can stay and help them set up the management structure of the factory.

The most important thing is that Tong Shuai still has a bit of loyalty, he insists on recognizing Jiang Xiaoman as his brother with a different surname, and even visits Jiang Youliang as a junior.It made Jiang Xiaoman dumbfounded, but fortunately his family has a place to live now, so he called Jiang Youliang to explain something on the way, and explained a few words to Lang Ying, then took his new friend home .

However, Tong Shuai is really comfortable to be a friend with. He has a sharp tongue and a lot of knowledge when he travels around. Jiang Xiaoman heard him talk about the turbulence in the shopping mall along the way, which was an eye-opener. .

At the same time, he also strengthened his original intention: for a simple mountain boy like him, it's better not to make too much business, otherwise he won't know how he will die when the time comes.

When he got home, Jiang Youliang heard Tong Shuai say that he wanted to befriend this brother because his family Xiaoman was very filial, so he couldn't help but straighten his back proudly, and said with a reserved mouth that in fact his family Xiaoman has been filial since he was a child. , Tong Shuai really has a vision!

Jiang Xiaoman: "..."

Look, anyone who wants to make his father happy, must praise his son face to face!

Unexpectedly, Tong Shuai and Jiang Youliang had a really happy conversation. The two even went to the back mountain to visit Jiang Youliang's beehive bucket, and came back with a basket of newly grown yams.

This is amazing!

Jiang Xiaoman wondered secretly.

You know, although the yams in this season are ready to eat, they haven't fully grown up yet. If Jiang Youliang cherishes the character of food, he will never dig them out and eat them at this time!

At this time in previous years, their family would eat the old potatoes stored in the cellar last year.

"Xiaoman, come quickly! Look at how well our yams are growing this year! Xiaoshuai said he hasn't eaten our red-skinned yams yet. Tonight you cook him a chicken with yams. I'll catch a chicken and kill it." gone."

Since he wanted to treat guests, of course it was impossible to invite only Tong Shuai.

Jiang Xiaoman called Shan Yan and Jiang Yu as well.

But Shan Yan was the only one who came to eat at night.

"Xiaoyu said that he promised his fans to broadcast live at night and sing fisherman's songs to them."

After all, Shanyan glared at Jiang Xiaoman.

Jiang Xiaoman had long been tempered by this vinegar jar to have a cheeky face, shrugged his shoulders, and pretended not to receive the white eyes of Resentful Fu Shanyan.

Isn't it because he took Jiang Yu to do the live broadcast, which made Jiang Yu addicted to the live broadcast, and went into the live broadcast room to chat with fans every night?

If you're really angry, why don't you make your Jiang Xiaoyu too tired to broadcast live every night?

Reluctant to bully Jiang Xiaoyu, ran over to him and lost his temper, this is a man, heh! !

If it wasn't for him not being familiar with Tong Shuai yet, Jiang Xiaoman really wanted to kick this old vinegar jar down the mountain if he wanted to find Shanyan to accompany him!

However, he has been busy making money during this time, and his father Jiang Youliang hasn't been this happy for a long time.

Seeing his father take out the kung fu tea set he bought as if offering a treasure, humbly learning from Tong Shuai, who can make kung fu tea, Jiang Xiaoman's heart warmed, and he rolled up his sleeves and went into the kitchen.

The kitchen at his house is much more convenient to use than the express station at the foot of the mountain, and the vegetable garden is just behind, so you can pick and cook whatever you want to eat.

Before it was dark, Jiang Xiaoman took the vegetable basket and sickle to his vegetable garden.Sure enough, as long as there is an old man at home, his vegetable garden will be fully planted at any time——

On the fence built by small steel bamboos, there are loofahs, lentils, dry cucumbers, long beans... There is also a shelf next to it, and two chayote trees are planted casually.

Seeing this chayote, Jiang Xiaoman's vision went dark!

On the blacklist of the most hated vegetables in his life, chayote is definitely in the top three!

There is no other reason, but this thing can grow too much. As long as you plant such a tree at home, it will not die for several years, and it will germinate every year. Hundreds of melons can grow on one vine!

I can't finish it!

What's even more hateful is that after the chayote is ripe, it will fall to the ground, and new seedlings will grow next year. There is no need to plant it by yourself. When Jiang Xiaoman was a child, he hated eating chayote. While his father wasn't paying attention, he stomped a piece of it to death secretly.

Unexpectedly, his father loved chayote so deeply, even though there were no seeds left at home, he actually dug two from someone else's house and planted them...

Seeing that the vines were covered with flower buds, Jiang Xiaoman's eyes darkened, and he turned his head away in pain.

Luckily, there are plenty of other delicious vegetables in the vegetable garden.

From the fence, I found a few plump loofahs, a few dry cucumbers, a handful of long beans, picked a lot of purple-skinned lentils, chopped a cabbage, picked a few purple eggplants, and picked them again. I picked a handful of pumpkin vines and picked half a basket of peppers.

Originally, I wanted to pick a tender pumpkin and stir-fry it, but I was worried that my father would be pissed off, so I decided to forget it.

After all, the idea of ​​his father's generation is that he would rather starve to death than eat a pumpkin that hasn't grown yet. Only a prodigal can eat tender pumpkins the size of a fist!When this pumpkin grows up, it can weigh more than ten catties!

If you want to eat tender pumpkins, go back down the mountain and pick two from Uncle Baichuan's vegetable garden, and eat your fill secretly!

As long as his father doesn't see it, he doesn't count as a waste of food!
