Zhao Shucheng didn't think so much at the beginning. He respected Lei's mother and loved his wife.
But in Lei Mother's eyes, Zhao Shucheng married a wife and forgot his mother. His son was alone in the past, but now he has one more person to share, so he is naturally unhappy.
In fact, Zhao Shucheng knew a good solution, that is, to have a child quickly and let her take care of the child. However, Zhao Shucheng didn't want to have a child so quickly. On the one hand, he and Song Yunping were very busy and had no time to take care of the child at all. On the other hand, the family is getting a little better now. Raising a child will lead to a decline in quality of life, which will make the child suffer at that time.
After thinking about it, Zhao Shucheng still came up with a solution, which was to build a new house for his mother first, and if he didn't live together in the future, there would naturally be no such conflicts.
When Zhao Shucheng talked about this matter with Song Yunping, Song Yunping's eyes were bright. In fact, she didn't really care about her mother-in-law saying bad things about her, but because of Zhao Shucheng, she was embarrassed to mention this matter.
Now Zhao Shucheng took the initiative to propose, and she naturally agreed and began to calculate how much money her family still has and whether it would be enough to build a new house.
The two of them calculated that the income of the past few months was just enough to build a new brick and tile house, so Zhao Shucheng went directly to find someone to level the land and renovate the house the next day.
Of course, Zhao Shucheng actually thought of buying a TV at that time and let Song Yunping get on the power station without leaving home, so that he would not have to run around all day.
Time is coming, and it is almost time for the Canton Fair.
Zhao Shucheng had already obtained the Canton Fair quota applied for by County Mayor Xu. After discussing with the village cadres, he and the old branch secretary took several workers from the bamboo weaving factory to Guangzhou, while the others stayed in the village and managed their work according to the division of labor.
Zhao Shucheng saw that many people were actually looking forward to going to big cities, so he said, "Don't worry, this time I will go to explore the road with the old secretary. After that, our village will continue to participate in the Canton Fair. Everyone will take turns to open their eyes. Don't just stare at the one-acre and three-point land in front of you."
When Zhao Shucheng said that he would take turns to go, those who could not go were happy. Especially Siyan and Sibao, one was worried that he was not Zhao Shucheng's direct troops, and the other liked to stand out like this, so naturally he hoped to open his eyes and show off when he came back.
Zhao Shucheng and the villagers set off with big bags and small bags. First, they asked the village tractor to take to the bus stop in the county town, and then took a bus to the provincial capital. From the provincial capital, they took a train to Guangzhou to attend the Canton Fair.
Of course, Zhao Shucheng and the others mainly brought some samples, bamboo weaving crafts and wall hangings, basically the same one, and it is impossible to transport live things directly to the Canton Fair.
The old branch secretary was still a little calm, but after the young people got on the train, they all looked around happily like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
This made the old branch secretary feel a little embarrassed and couldn't help but scold them, making them all restrain themselves and not to embarrass the Xiao Lei family. In fact, they had already amazed when they were standing on the platform. After all, for the few people who were not far away from the county town, all this was incredible.
Especially when the platform was waiting for the train to enter the station, a locomotive like a hill was directly crushed with the sound of a whistle, almost scaring several young people to death, and each of them showed horror.
In fact, Zhao Shucheng also understood them very well. After all, these people had never seen a train, so they naturally reacted a little loudly. This also made Zhao Shucheng deeply understand that the Xiao Lei family could not be so arrogant. At least there should be a TV set that allows villagers to better understand the outside world through the TV.
After the train started, accompanied by the sound of eating and eating, Lao Wu said excitedly: "Brother Dongbao, the train has moved. You said that the train is all steel and is so large. How big is the engine to drive it?"
Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "It's rare and weird. You haven't seen the train heading on the rails, so there is little resistance. Now you don't understand it. Our village's literacy class still needs to teach you more knowledge."
"We still have to go to class? We are all literate, and there is no problem reading the newspaper."
Zhao Shucheng said: "It is not enough to read newspapers. You all see the development of Xiao Lei's family during this period. Now there are brick kiln factories, breeding farms, and bamboo weaving factories, but this is just primary processing and has no technical content. Sooner or later, other villages will see us making money, and they will work with it."
"The easiest thing is the brick kiln factory. I heard that several nearby villages have already prepared to build brick and tile factories. When the amount of bricks produced is too high, if the supply exceeds demand, then there will be price competition."
After hearing this, the old branch secretary asked curiously: "Dongbao, what do you mean by oversupply and price competition?"
Zhao Shucheng said: "Uncle, in fact, oversupply means that more bricks are produced than the needs of ordinary people. After all, the purchasing power around is limited, and it is impossible for someone to build a house every day. After the sales decrease, other villages will continue to produce bricks and tiles. If they are produced and sold, they will be oversupply. Price competition is very simple, but other villages will lower the price when they see bricks and tiles that cannot be sold, and then trigger a price war. If you sell five cents per yuan, I will only be a quarter and a half yuan per yuan, and then others will sell three cents, and in the end, they may sell at a price that is less than the cost."
"Dongbao, no one is so stupid, right? If you lose money and make a lot of money, who would do such a thing?"
Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "If I have no way out, I will do things that will lose money and make a name for myself. At that time, it will be up to who can't stand it first. The village that can't stand it will naturally close the brick kiln, and even demolish the brick kiln in anger. Then I insisted on it. In the future, others knew that the brick kiln business was a loss-making business and no longer entered this industry. Then I could monopolize the entire county town's business, and naturally restore it to the original price, and even raise the price, and the money I lost could naturally be made back."
"In fact, this is similar to farming and breeding. It's okay to say that the country controls the price of grain, but there will not be too much price fluctuations, but other agricultural products are different. For example, some cash crops, at the beginning, have few people planted, so the prices will naturally be high. However, others will follow the trend when they see the price, but if there are too many things, the prices will naturally not go up. In the end, they will not make money and lose money, and no one will plant them, but the prices will go up again."
"The breeding industry is similar. For example, piglets are raised at the beginning and the price of pork is expensive. When others see pigs making money, they will naturally raise pork prices. At that time, there will naturally be fewer people breeding, and the price of pork will rise again. Of course, this is a situation that will only occur after the market is liberalized. Now it is still a planned economy, so this situation will not happen."
After hearing this, the old branch secretary said worriedly: "Dongbao, you said there wouldn't be any price war you mentioned, right? The brick kiln in our village is fine, but this happens to the breeding farm, and the villagers will not be able to eat or live there by then."
Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Uncle, don't worry, this situation will not happen in our village. Because I don't plan to let our village just engage in the most basic breeding. If our trip goes well, I think if we can make money or even have a large order, we will purchase a batch of machinery and open a factory directly. The price of rabbit hair is so high, and the prices of products produced by rabbit hair will naturally not be much lower."
After hearing this, the old branch secretary patted Zhao Shucheng on the shoulder and said, "Dongbao, I'll be relieved if you say this. Go and do it boldly, and I'll support you in the back."
After hearing this, the other young people blinked from time to time. Although they didn't quite understand what Zhao Shucheng was going to do, as long as it was for the sake of the Xiao Lei family, they were naturally willing to do it.
Just when the group was imagining how much money they could earn after they arrived at the Canton Fair and how to live a good life in the village, the old branch secretary had questions again.
"Dongbao, do you think we have to find an interpreter after we arrive in Yangcheng? We have to sell the things to foreigners and can't speak foreign language. How can we communicate?"
Zhao Shucheng laughed when he heard this and said, "Uncle, don't worry about this. I picked up my wife to the TV University and learned some foreign language. Although I can't write, there is still no problem with communication."
The group talked and laughed on the train, and successfully arrived in Yangcheng a day later.
After holding the invitation letter and asking passers-by how to get there, Zhao Shucheng and the others directly found the guesthouse near the Canton Fair to settle down and wait for the Canton Fair to be held.
During this period, Zhao Shucheng and the others also saw many other units that came to participate in the Canton Fair. Many units had dozens of masks, including some women and children, who were taking the opportunity to travel for public expenses.
Actually, it’s right to think about it. After all, this Yangcheng can be said to be the first place to open and develop the fastest, especially compared to many cities in the north and the mainland, it is even more prosperous and unimaginable. Various foreign goods are very attractive to many people.
Of course, Zhao Shucheng could still feel that many units still attach great importance to this Canton Fair. After all, if a business is successfully completed, this is a serious foreign exchange investment, which will be of great help to the factory.
In the past few days, Zhao Shucheng and the old branch secretary have not only set up stalls in the hotel, but also on the Canton Fair, striving to give outsiders a better sense and also let them see the product craftsmanship of the bamboo weaving factory, thereby attracting orders.
However, for the young people in the village, they were a little curious at the beginning, but after the stalls of the Canton Fair were arranged similarly, they felt that they were similar to those in the town market, but the products here were more technical.
Zhao Shucheng and his team's stalls are not big, they are just a space of more than 30 square meters. There are crane bottles, flower baskets, fruit baskets, etc. in front, and a wall hanging directly behind them, with a pattern of panda eating bamboo shoots on it.
This is a carefully selected pattern by Zhao Shucheng. After all, this panda is a national treasure in China and is still very attractive to foreigners.
The full name of the Canton Fair is the China Import and Export Commodity Trade Fair, so not only domestic units set up stalls here, but foreign companies also have stalls here. Moreover, the entire Canton Fair lasted for half a month. Zhao Shucheng was not in a hurry, but instead planned to let the old branch secretary and others receive other people here, and go for a walk first to see if there is anything that Xiao Lei’s family can use.
After a walk around Zhao Shucheng, he analyzed something, that is, most of the domestic exhibition areas are mineral resources, roughly processed fragments, as well as specialties from various places, such as porcelain, tea, silk thorns, and of course agricultural products, such as wild vegetables. Zhao Shucheng and their bamboo weaving products should actually be local specialties.
From these stalls, we can see that the country still relies on resource exports for foreign exchange, and light industrial products, handicraft products and agricultural products with low profit margins are just icing on the cake.
On the contrary, those foreign companies are different. Most of them are agricultural machinery products, seed products, fertilizer stations, pesticide stations, and mid- and low-end mechanical processing machine tool booths, mainly involving mid- and low-end industrial products and agricultural equipment.
After a walk around Zhao Shucheng, he initially decided on the equipment that Xiao Lei's family would purchase in the future, but he did not go up and communicate directly. After all, he didn't know how many orders he could get this time, nor how much it cost.
However, Zhao Shucheng is very sure that if Xiao Lei's family wants to develop, it cannot just engage in such low-end products. It must have its own characteristics in the future, at least it must have its own technology so that it will not be controlled by others.
After Zhao Shucheng returned to Xiao Lei's booth, the old branch secretary quickly pulled Zhao Shucheng and said that many people had just come here to check the situation, but they didn't understand foreign languages, so they could only take out the notes that Zhao Shucheng left here before, and let the other party come to negotiate cooperation tomorrow.
Seeing the old branch secretary looking a little anxious, Zhao Shucheng comforted the other party and promised not to wander around again, which made the other party feel relieved.
In the next half month, Zhao Shucheng received a lot of foreigners and introduced them to Xiao Lei’s bamboo weaving factory products, especially some exquisite wall-mounted photos, which fascinated them, so they quickly signed an order and even delivered a part of the deposit, waiting for Zhao Shucheng and the others to deliver the goods.
The old branch secretary looked at the orders and counted the amounts on it, and showed a happy smile on his face. The rest of the bamboo weaving factory were also very happy. After all, the bamboo weaving factory has always lived on the wages of the brigade. Now it can make a profit, and finally can raise its head in the village.
Zhao Shucheng was naturally very happy. Even if he couldn't spend such a large amount of foreign exchange directly, after returning to the county town, the Xiao Lei family was the big hero of the county town. Even if the others wanted to cause trouble for the Xiao Lei family, they had to think twice.
Moreover, Zhao Shucheng had already thought of the use of this money, which was to pay back the credit union loan first, and then expand the breeding scale of long-haired rabbits in the village and the production scale of bamboo weaving factories.
Chapter completed!
