Chapter 33: You've got a cash cow in your head
Although Li Xian went to college in another place, he lived in Bangye County until high school, and he still has a deep understanding of the situation in Bangye.
The marriage customs in the forest area are not good, and they are well-known throughout the region;
Before he came back, Li Xian attended the wedding of a childhood friend.
In that wedding, he learned that the man gave a full 300,000 bride price in order to marry a daughter-in-law. That's it, not counting houses, cars, and gold and diamond jewelry.
It is said that after a wedding, the man's old man took out more than 1.2 million.
This kind of generosity made Li Xian, who was not married, secretly speechless. But what's even more terrifying is that this is just a normal situation in forest areas, not an exception.
You must know that even in 2018, the per capita income of the forest area was less than 50,000 yuan a year. When a son in the family got married, he almost emptied the money that the old man had earned all his life.
At that time, there was a very classic saying in the forest area, calling the marriage of a son "smashing Lao Tzu's bones and squeezing pulp oil". The son has a deposit of hundreds of thousands after getting married, and Lao Tzu owes hundreds of thousands of debts.
However, the irony is that the "three highs" of young people in the Bangye Forestry Bureau at that time were also well-known in the region after marriage. The so-called three highs are the high wedding bride price, the high debt of the man, and the high divorce rate after marriage. In addition to this, there is a high number of civil cases arising from the division of property between men and women.
Although the current wedding customs in the forest area have not yet developed to the peak state of later generations, they are already terrible.
The environment of the forest area is relatively closed, and the vice of good face and comparison is most likely to grow in such an environment. From Wang Feng's previous clamoring for a new house, you can get a glimpse of the whole leopard;
Now the standard configuration for newlyweds in the forest area is two large brick houses. But this is only the most basic, according to the current market, almost every family marrying a girl will require the man to have at least three acres of arable land and a certain amount of dowry.
This number is very particular, if the man's family is rich, then it is more than 10,000 to 5,000. If the conditions are average, then at least two or three thousand.
In short, it depends on the market.
Therefore, even in the current era, every young man who has just gotten married is the richest person in the forest farm, with the highest consumption power, and the most fond of comparison.
Li Xian, who thought that he did not have so much energy to change this custom, decided to make money with it.
Yesterday, after learning that the tiles were unsalable, he had already hit the idea on this.
I thought that after explaining Wang Feng and letting him help him publicize, he would have to wait a few days to get the effect. Thinking that it would be okay anyway, Li Xian planned to borrow the camera of the forest farm to take pictures of Li Qing's model house and make a large publicity photo to facilitate the publicity of the surrounding forest farm.
But before he could borrow a camera, young couples from the forest farm came to the door one after another.
Faced with the price of 7 yuan per square meter given by Li Xian, everyone was naturally too expensive. But Li Xian was very keenly aware that almost all the people who were too expensive were men, and when the men either handed over cigarettes to please or bargained with the friendship of the villagers, the little daughter-in-law on the side looked unhappy.
The results speak for themselves.
In the next two days, Li Xian received twelve orders for the decoration of the walls of the new house, and the price was without exception - 7 yuan per flat!
Among these twelve orders, almost all of them ended up being made by the little daughter-in-law.
To be honest, Li Xian is very confident in his business. But he never thought that the business would be so hot.
He admits that he underestimated the spending power of young people in this era.
However, in this way, the original plan was completely disrupted, and in the face of the twelve orders that came in at once, Wang Qinghe's six brothers and a few bricklayers were simply not enough.
On the one hand, Li Xian asked Wang Qinghe to find a young man with a poor family background and not much arable land in the forest farm, and on the other hand, he directly found the accountant of the forest farm, lent the camera, and urgently took Li Qing's "model house renderings", and then washed it out.
After finishing this, he rushed directly to the Forestry Bureau non-stop.
……
Tile factory.
Yang Hongshan went to the Commercial Bureau for a meeting in the past two days, and the bureau was already very dissatisfied with the benefits of the tile factory. At this meeting, Wang Wenqing, director of the Bureau of Commerce, revealed the bureau's intention to shut down and transfer a number of loss-making enterprises. This made Yang Hongshan particularly worried.
When he returned to the factory, he immediately convened a factory meeting to explain the current difficulties of the factory; the backlog of inventory could not be released, the production in the factory could not be carried out, and the factory would be in danger if it continued like this.
At the conference, he was bitter and sincere.
But the effect is no different from the old sow's fart.
The workers in the factory should do what they should do or how to do it, those who arrive late and leave early or even absenteeism still do their own thing, and those who play sweaters and eat melon seeds are still in full swing.
At this time, Li Xian, who had disappeared for three days, came to the door.
When Li Xian said that he wanted 900 boxes of bathroom bricks and 600 boxes of mosaics, a total of 1,500 boxes of tiles, Yang Hongshan was stunned.
"Tell me again, young man, how many bricks do you want?"
Li Xian was helpless and had to repeat his needs.
Afraid that Li Xian would fool himself, Yang Hongshan grabbed his hand: "Where is the money? When will the money be settled?"
Li Xian immediately took out a stack of tickets from the inner pocket of his tracksuit, "Now!"
Looking at the pile of tickets, Yang Hongshan fell into ecstasy, "Young man, it's really yours! Hey, by the way, what's your name?"
Li Xian is no longer able to complain.
Okay,
You don't even remember my name?
It's not a good idea to take this business too much!
"Yes, yes, Li Xian, Li Xian, right?!" Yang Hongshan patted his head and grabbed his hand excitedly, "Li Xian, tell me, how did you sell those tiles?"
With the contract in hand, Li Xian was not afraid of the tile factory prying his own business, so he directly used the renovated model house to carry out precision marketing to the newlyweds.
Hearing Li Xian's overall plan, Yang Hongshan's expression was complicated.
In the past, the factory did not sell tiles to the forest farm, but every time I went, I got very little. The reply given by the distribution office was that tiles were not used in the forest farm, and even the floor of every household was made of cement - there was no market at all.
Even he himself has been there a few times, and the situation is exactly as the dealership says.
But who would have thought that tiles could be applied to the exterior walls and made patterns?
Who would have thought that taking advantage of the mentality of newlyweds who like to compare?
At this moment, a whole new window opened in his world. He realized that a lot of the problems were just problems with the mind. A lot of losses, just not enough brains.
"Li Xian, this thing can be replicated, right?" Yang Hongshan took Li Xian's hand and asked sincerely.
Li Xian nodded, "That's right." In the next step, I plan to expand the construction team, and then go to several forest farms around Bajiu to sell. These stock tiles of yours should sell out quickly. ”
Yang Hongshan was excited, and the loser paced back and forth in the factory director's office twice, as if he had made up his mind, and finally stood in front of Li Xian again.
"Good boy! I really want to cut your head open to see if there's a cash cow growing in it! Now the bureau is ready to shut down or privatize the tile factory, and I'm ready to take it down. I will give you another 20% lower cost price of this batch of inventory tiles, and I will return the 10,000 yuan bonus to you. After that, how about you come to me as the deputy factory director?!"
