The car broke down, and in this case, the driver of the Sichuan-Tibet line will generally help.

It didn't take long for him to meet a returning car, and the driver of the car took the initiative to stop and ask, "What's the matter?"

"The tooth box is broken, take your car down by the way, and call someone to come up and repair it. ”

"Okay, come up, how many people will you go down?"

"I'm the only one. Driver Wang replied.

He came back to Fan Yang and said to them: "Remember to close the doors and windows, I will go down to call someone, and strive to catch up tonight, you stay in the car for a while, and wait for me to buy braised duck and come up to eat." ”

Then he climbed into the car, asked for some water from the empty car, poured it into a bottle of warm water, pulled out the car keys, and went down the mountain.

Leaving Fan Yang and the three of them, Zhao Guangming climbed to the driver's seat and sat down, took out a thin blanket behind the seat and wrapped it.

The temperature drops down quickly in the mountains, and it doesn't take long for the car to cool down, and the entire cab is cold.

"Let's go and take off our coats. ”

Fan Yang's luggage bags were on the cargo box with Shaqima, and the three of them jumped up and worked hard for a long time before they took out the general's coat and took out a few bags of Shaqima: "Come and eat first, I can only eat casually with this tonight." ”

"Hey, when will the driver come up? Missing a door asked.

"It's probably tomorrow. Fan Yang replied.

"Tomorrow? Didn't he say he had to catch up tonight?"

"If you can catch up with a fart, who would dare to drive up the mountain when it snows at night? ”

Zhao Guangming scolded angrily, opened Shaqima and ate one, and sighed while drinking water.

A few people chatted without a word.

Fan Yang also took the opportunity to explore the situation in Tibetan areas by the way.

"Brother, how long have you been in Tibet?"

"I've been two or three years. ”

"Then I take the liberty of asking, what is my brother doing?"

"I'm doing a little business. ”

"Well, so are we, by the way, I want to ask, what kind of business is good to do now?" Fan Yang asked.

"Are you too? Are you really from Sichuan?" Seeing that they are so young, although they have asked before, knowing that the Shaqima they pulled is also bringing goods, Zhao Guangming still asked a little unconvinced.

"That's right. ”

"So young, that's okay, I thought there was someone in your family inside, so what do you think? Are you 20 years old?" Zhao Guangming asked again.

"No, I heard that this Shaqima could make money, so I tried to run it. ”

Zhao Guangming sighed repeatedly: "I dare to go to Tibet at a young age, and I have the courage, but I told you that I must have come to the right place, now the people in it are rich, and they can do any business very well." ”

"Then you have to learn from my brother. Fan Yang gave Zhao Guangming a cigarette.

"Well, there's fire and there's fire. ”

Zhao Guangming took the cigarette and said: "Now the herdsmen have money, and they are really good at everything, as long as you are willing to run, you can make money by selling rubber shoes in it, and you can believe that a pair of rubber shoes is also sold for twenty or thirty years? ”

"Well, I've heard people say that herders are richer nowadays. ”

"It's very rich, now the cattle and sheep are contracted to the household, you don't see that they are some dirty, people are not particular, but casually pull the head of the yak out, it is one or two thousand, the policy is good, there are subsidies for growing food, more money than people outside, and you can't find a place to spend, as long as you have good things, don't worry about not earning money. ”

"Hmm. Fan Yang nodded.

In Fan Yang's understanding, this is almost the case, before the reform and opening up, most of the Tibetan land was the lowest poor county in the country, poor townships, no industrial support, and the per capita annual income has been lower than the average, because it is a collective animal husbandry system.

However, since the privatization of livestock in the 80s and the contracting of pastures to households, the personal assets of herders have steadily increased year by year.

After more than ten years of family animal husbandry contracting, many herdsmen have an average annual slaughter rate of ten, or even dozens of heads, and then go inside, Tagong, Hongyuan is rich in water and grass, many large animal husbandry households, and even have the scale of hundreds of large groups.

Moreover, cattle and sheep all produce cashmere, so the herdsmen in the 90s were already very wealthy, which was much higher than the income level in the southwest.

Of course, cattle and sheep do not grow up in a day or two, these are the wealth accumulated by herders over the years.

Not to be underestimated.

Kangding is located in the throat of Sichuan and Tibet, the population near the city is dense, the herdsmen are not particularly rich, and the more you go inside, the more desolate the place, the richer the richer, a herdsman is likely to not trade for many years, the more cattle and sheep are produced, the alpine meadows, the transportation is inconvenient, even if there is money, there is no place to spend.

There is also a tradition of herdsmen, after selling cattle and sheep, they often donate money to the monastery, which is really generous, basically how much to donate, especially the herdsmen who make the .0 saint, they have worked so hard that they really can't wait to donate their pants.

Historically, money has not been particularly important.

The level of universal education is not high, the information is relatively closed, and even some herders think that money can buy things, which is quite happy, and they are not so sensitive to prices, and they spend money anyway.

In this context, in recent years, more and more businessmen have poured into Zang District, doing everything, as long as they can do what they like, they can make money.

A mere journey of hundreds of kilometers is not a problem at all for businessmen with a keen sense of smell.

Thinking of the boxes of handicrafts in the car, did they take them in to set up a stall?

So Fan Yang asked again, "What did that brother do?"

"Hehe, I'm going to do everything, I'm going to eat, come on, smoke ......"

Zhao Guangming obviously didn't want to talk about himself.

But there is no interested question: "Tell me, by the way, what are your bodhisattvas for?

"Hey, my gang brought it, and one of them earned a few dollars, which didn't mean anything. ”

"By the way, my brother still wants to ask you about something, what is the price of the leather inside?"

"What's the matter? You want to do a leather business?"

"Well, I'm a little interested, my family is made of leather, and this time I went in, I mainly wanted to ask if the leather inside was good?"

"Leather, oh, I'm looking away, the business is big, but why did you come to Tibet?"

Zhao Guangming nodded, thinking that this still makes sense, otherwise the two little boys would dare to go into Tibet to make money single-handedly, and he would still not believe it.

Two little children in their teens know a fart in his heart.

But since Fan Yang asked, Zhao Guangming still said: "If you want to make leather, why don't you go to Yunnan, how good the leather is over there, the leather in Tibet is not good, it is all yak skin, are you making raw hides or finishing? Finishing has to go to Zhejiang, which is cheaper over there, but not in Tibet." Zhao Guangming shook his head again and again.

Fan Yang looked surprised, he didn't expect Zhao Guangming to be well-informed when he spoke, it seemed that he was an old man for many years.

I can't help but have some more respect.

In terms of the previous life's work experience, Fan Yang only has a superficial understanding of leather, and he has lived a lifetime, but he just takes it for granted, and there are many omissions.

I thought that the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau was one of the major pastoral areas in China, and it was naturally rich in leather, but I didn't expect Zhao Guangming to say that the leather in Tibet was not good.

"Well, I'm going to have to ask my brother for advice. ”

"I told you that the yak skin is too coarse, and you can't accept it, so I advise you not to think about it in that way, if you don't catch you as a poacher, it will be troublesome." ”
