Chapter 68 Friend Wang Wencai
Wang Wencai is three or four years older than Wang Ping'an. He was a nerd when he was a child. He reads books all day and has few friends.
Wang Ping'an was dull and said less. The two of them squatted together in a daze, playing with ants, and over time, they became good friends.
Even though Wang Wencai was admitted to high school or junior college, he did not disconnect from this contact. He would come to play with Wang Ping'an every week or holiday.
The two of them were far away. Wang Ping'an's home was at the east end of the village, while Wang Wencai's home was in the valley northwest of the village. If you walk, you would even take half an hour to walk.
Because of this, the talents in the village cannot understand why these two young people who can't even get along with each other have such a good relationship.
"It's not about holidays, I graduated from college this year, and I've finished my internship and returned to the village to rest for a while. I should consider where to find a job."
Wang Wencai replied, having approached Wang Ping'an, habitually punched him on his shoulder.
Wang Ping'an's muscles were as strong as iron lumps, which made his hands hurt.
"Wow, you kid is so strong. What have you eaten? You have grown muscles? It feels different from before." Wang Wencai said in shock.
"I worked in the field and trained, haha, you went to college and didn't have the chance to become like me." Wang Ping'an was proud and deliberately showed off his silly, just like before.
"You are still breathing after praising you! Haha, I said I was going to college, but I actually went to college. I haven't learned anything in the past few years. I just graduated and I'm worried and don't know what to do next."
The two were talking and laughing, and Wang Ping'an took him home, cut a Shennong watermelon for him to taste.
"Is this the sky-high watermelon that is legendary in the village? It tastes weird and seems to taste different from ordinary watermelons, but it is indeed delicious."
Wang Wencai praised it repeatedly, and then ate four large pieces in one breath, and his belly was too full to eat, so he stopped.
"The boss in the village said that the watermelon was mutated and the taste was greatly improved. Since it was about to sell out, Huaguoshan also raised the price.
Things are rare and expensive. It is said that even if they mutate in the future, they will not have a similar taste, so the rich people in the city buy it even more fiercely."
Wang Ping'an used his usual accent to show off his watermelon to his friends.
Wang Wencai sighed and said, "The mutated thing is your luck. Like other people's ordinary watermelons, they can't sell for three or four cents a pound, and they are almost rotten. It's a pity."
"I heard that you are a major in electronic marketing. Can you sell these things?" Wang Ping'an asked.
"Watermelon is not good, it is too cheap, too easy to break, the packaging is expensive, the transportation fee is more expensive, and it is not enough to sell it. Why sell it? It's better to use fertilizer in rotten fields."
"Where is the peaches in Huaxi? All fruits and vegetables have been harvested this year, so I'm afraid the peaches are not easy to sell."
"Huaxi Peach is very easy to operate, but the time is too hasty. Without marketing planning and publicity, I am afraid I can't sell too much. When I come back this time, I also have the idea of helping the village sell agricultural products, but I'm still hesitating."
"What are you hesitating about?" Wang Ping'an asked.
Wang Wencai replied: "One is that there is no capital, two is that the transportation environment is too harsh, and three is that the village bandits and tyrants are too upset... If you make some achievements, there will be more people coming to the door to cause trouble."
Funding is indeed a problem, but Wang Ping'an can solve part of it, but the transportation environment is too harsh, so it cannot be solved by personal power.
There are too many potholes from the mountain road from the village to the town. The watermelon may be fine, but the peaches will be completely destroyed if they are broken.
Moreover, when doing online sales, there is no express delivery in the town, only a small postal parcel, which is crazy slow. It is OK to mail ordinary things, but if you use it to mail fruits, just wait for the customer to refund and complain.
As for the village bandits and village tyrants, Wang Ping'an can pat his chest and promise him that he will beat him whoever dares to make trouble. I am the strongest village tyrant now.
However, Wang Ping'an did not say all these thoughts immediately. If they were said, it would be amazing. He still needs to be a fool and do some practical things now.
So Wang Ping'an just comforted him: "Don't worry, as long as you want to do it, there are always more ways than difficulties. If you can't do it in the village, we can move it to the town or even to the city."
"Haha, Erbao, you can. After not seeing each other during this period, you have become smarter. Let's go to the village for a walk and see the changes in the village. I'll tell you about the outside world."
"Now there is a website called Taobao. Many things can be sold to all over the world through Taobao. There are many fruits in Huaxi Town, which are too low and the purchase of fruit merchants is too unintentional. Farmers have worked hard for a year, but they can only spend a little hard money."
"If I could sell these unsold fruits, I would not only lead everyone to become rich, but I could also become rich myself."
Speaking of this, Wang Wencai also took out his mobile phone and showed Wang Ping'an what the Taobao website is like. He searched for related fruits and a lot of them came out in an instant.
The price marked is only a little lower than the market retail price, but it is two or three times higher than the price purchased by fruit merchants, or even three or four times higher.
Although Wang Ping'an's IQ has returned to normal, his understanding of this world is still in limited TV programs. This is the first time he has learned about this online shopping knowledge.
The fields of Wang Wencai's family are somewhat remote. They are also planted in the northwest corner. Almost all the fruits that can be grown in Tiannan Province have been planted.
This is the idea of not putting eggs in the same basket, but for orchards, such planting methods increase management difficulties.
Wang Ping'an and Wang Wencai walked from the east end of the village to the west end, and looked at the nearby orchards and crops.
At this time, he saw the village party secretary Wang Deli and the village director Wang Jingyi accompanying several people who look like cadres and pointing next to the orchard.
"Those are cadres from the town. I saw them when I came. The middle-aged man in white shirt was Mayor Lu. He built the orchard plan in the town, but the harvest year by year, the farmers could not make money. He was more anxious than anyone else."
"Especially this year's watermelons are extremely unsalable. I heard that he found a juice processing company and is negotiating the acquisition. However, the price offered is definitely very low, which is a little better than rotten in the field."
Wang Wencai is worthy of being a person who has seen the world. He is very informed and doesn’t know where he inquired about the rumor.
Wang Ping'an nodded frequently. He had also heard of Mayor Lu's name, because since Mayor Lu came to Huaxi Town, this remote and closed town has completely opened up an external communication channel.
Some knowledgeable people are talking about his goodness.
Wang Ping'an thought about what happened during this period of time when he was awake and deeply felt that the farmers here needed to get rid of poverty and become rich, and some ignorant thoughts needed to be changed.
His Shennong mineral water can help him get rid of poverty and become rich, but cannot help more villagers. He feels that he is not as good as Wang Wencai and mayor Lu.
"So, I can only make money silently and become the richest man in a village that is admired? Sure enough, I am still a salted fish." Wang Ping'an thought in his heart.
