Chapter 264: Rush to the Gathering
After Chen Shi's family killed the New Year's pig, they kept preparing things for the New Year, although Chen Shi brought back a lot of things, but after all, he didn't live here, so there was still a lack of daily necessities in the house, so Chen Shi drove to the nearby market town to shop.
This time, his parents didn't go together, he took Li Yalian to drive off in the morning, preparing to rush back at noon.
As soon as he went out, before he got in the car, Chen Shi saw his cousin and a few cousins hanging over together, and he didn't know what they were going to do.
Chen Shi stepped forward and greeted, "What are you doing?"
The cousin said, "Go to the market, buy something before the year, what about you?"
Chen Shi shook his head and said, "I'm also in the market, let's just go all the way, let's get in the car!"
The cousin and the others were overjoyed when they heard this, and they were not polite, so they quickly opened the car door and sat directly in the back. Li Yalian was in the co-pilot's position, so they had to sit in the back.
Although everyone had sat in Chen Shi's car, and some had even used Chen Shi's car to practice and learn for a while, they were still very curious after getting on the car, looking east and west.
Chen Shi didn't care, he could understand that these were his brothers and sisters, all of whom were babies in the countryside, and they had never seen anything in the world, even if they were working outside, they had never taken a private car, so it was not normal to be curious.
After everyone got into the car, Chen Shi started the car and drove out slowly. The road was very bumpy, and Chen Shi drove very slowly, firstly, because he didn't want to have an accident, and secondly, because he was to maintain the car. Driving on such a road, one will accidentally hit the chassis, therefore, you must be careful along the way.
While driving, Chen Shi complained: "When will the road in our hometown be repaired, this road is simply not walked by people, it is too suspenseful." β
The cousin said: "If we want to build a highway in this mountain, I'm afraid it will take decades, and the government will be poor like that, how can you expect him to build the road?"
Indeed, now even the office residence of the township government is in a dilapidated brick house, so don't expect to rely on the government to build the road.
Chen Shi sighed and said: "If you want to get rich, build a road first, if this road is not built for a day, we will not develop here for a day." β
The cousin disagreed, and said, "Aren't you already developed? The so-called one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven, and our village must be cleaned, even if it can't be as rich as the big city, but it should be better than other villages, right?"
Chen Shi smiled slightly, of course he was happy to be able to do something for his hometown, but he would not pay in vain without asking for anything in return, he was essentially a businessman, everything was based on profit returns, even helping his uncle and cousin, he would not say that he had no place to spend more money, and then give money to others, this practice has no substantive effect.
Chen Shi knows that even the poverty alleviation funds issued by the government have raised a lot of idlers, and he is a private boss, if he learns from the government to distribute poverty alleviation funds, he may be deceived, and even if he is not deceived, it will also make many people develop the illusion that they get something for nothing, so that not only harm others, but also harm themselves.
Real help is to provide an opportunity to work, to provide a channel for rising, not to give money to food.
Chen Shi said to his cousin and cousin: "If you have anyone who wants to start a business in your hometown, you can come to me, I will give you the capital, and I can even guide you to do some business, if you don't want to, even if you don't want to, although you also follow me outside, but I instruct, everyone is very hard outside, and it is always better to make a fortune at home than to wander outside, don't you say?"
Everyone nodded yes, but they all said that there was no way to do it, because they didn't know what they could do when they came home, and if they didn't go out, they would wait for death, at most, they would hold on to one acre and three points of land, and if they didn't starve to death, they would definitely not have any chance of development.
In this mountainous area, you don't expect to be able to develop farming, don't expect to make a fortune by contracting land, because even if you contract land, you can't plant, because it's all mountainous, and you don't use mechanized large-scale farming, so that the efficiency is incomparable, and in the plains, one person can cultivate more land than a village here.
After listening to everyone's complaints, Chen Shi said: "Actually, it's okay to go home and do some small business, you can also take a look, in recent years, there are a lot more people rushing to the market than before, it is more lively, there are many business opportunities on the street, there will be a market when someone rushes to the market, and you have a chance if there is a market, just see if you are willing." β
The cousin asked, "Then what did you say you were doing here?"
He didn't want to come back, his cousin was already a contractor, and now he had a preliminary taste of the sweetness, he just wanted to help other people ask.
Chen Shidao: "Clothing and vegetables can be, these two points will not lack business, although there is no shortage of these things on the market now, but I have a better one, you can get the best goods at the cheapest price, so that you can compete with others, as long as you occupy the market, you are afraid that there is no business?"
Chen Shi is not bragging, he has a supermarket, and of course he has a channel to buy goods, so that if his brothers want to, he can help them occupy the market in the nearby market town.
The cousin said: "This is indeed a good main, but the traffic is not very good, and this market is not so lively every day, it only takes two times in ten days, and the rest of the time is deserted and there is no business." β
Since Chen Shi proposed to help his brothers, of course there is a way, he said: "You can go to other places, not necessarily only in a market town, 369 to catch a place, the fifth and tenth days of the first month, so you can do it almost every day, but it's a little hard, I'm afraid you can't bear this hardship." β
When my cousin thought about it, his eyes lit up, and he said, "This is indeed a good idea, but it's a pity that I have already become a contractor, otherwise I would have gone home to sell vegetables and clothes." β
Chen Shi smiled: "There is another problem, that is, you need a truck, a small two-row truck, it is inconvenient without such a car, and you don't need to find a fixed place to catch the market, you don't need to buy a house on the street, which can save a sum of money, compared to the city, the principal of starting a business in the countryside is lower, of course, the harvest is much lower." β
The cousin smiled bitterly: "If you want a car, no one will want to, think about it, who has the money to buy a car?"
A minivan costs more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan, which is a huge amount of money for rural people, but for Chen Shi, it is definitely a drop in the bucket.
He said, "You can come to me, I will lend you money, but I am afraid that you will not have the guts." I dare to guarantee that I can pay back my investment in one year, and then it will be a stable business, as long as I don't make a big basket, I will definitely make money. β
In the countryside, there can be a truck, which can not only transport goods to sell at home, but also help others to buy goods, and even carry guests, those who rush to the market will have this demand, double row seats can also pull three or four people, a person can earn twenty yuan a day for five yuan, don't underestimate this money, if there is one day, it is five or six hundred a month, which is higher than the salary of a substitute teacher, and even catches up with the waiters in the county.
After Chen Shi finished speaking, he didn't think that anyone would be willing to do it, but a cousin suddenly said: "Brother, you lend me some money, I did it, I was tired of being outside for a long time, and I wanted to go home for a long time, but I didn't have anything to do when I came home, so I mixed outside." β
This cousin's name is Chen Fu, Chen Shi didn't know where he worked, and asked, "Who are you doing outside?"
Chen Fudao: "My uncle and I drive trucks every day, running around, my driving skills are not bad, so I want to come back and do it myself." β
Chen Shi was overjoyed when he heard this, this is just right, as long as he has driving skills and is willing to do it, this job must not be wrong, he explained carefully: " I'll tell you, if you come back, I'll lend you money to buy a car first, and then you go to the supermarket in the county to pick up the goods, I'll give you the cost price, absolutely not make a penny from you, and then you can pull the goods to catch the market, I believe, with the advantages of Chen Ben and the quality of the product, you will soon be able to occupy the market, but every day the sports car is indeed a bit hard, you should be clear, you have to think clearly, don't run indecent for ten days and half a month after that. β
Chen Fudao: "Brother, don't worry, I don't have any skills, I just know how to drive, I like to drive, although I follow you outside, but I get a dead salary, I don't want to work for the rest of my life, at least I want to be a small boss." β
Of course, being a boss is stronger than an employee, no matter how small the boss is, he must be stronger than the employee, because the boss has freedom, and the employee has no freedom at all.
Chen Shidao: "Okay, that's it, you can go to buy a car after the New Year, today we are in the market, you also have a good look at how others buy things, this business can go back to study, you can't be brainless, drill forward, but find a way, look at other people's experience." β
Chen Fu said okay, Chen Shi said that it should be a market research, let him know more about what kind of people are buying things, and only after understanding clearly can he buy goods, otherwise, if you buy some sea cucumbers and shark fins, you will definitely not be able to sell them.
Doing business should be based on market demand, not what you want to sell.
Soon, a group of people came to the market town, although it was not yet noon, but there were already a lot of people, the vendors had set up stalls, paved with their own goods, it looked colorful, dazzling, unusually dazzling, but Chen Shike could not look down on such things, if it was not to buy some necessary goods, now he would not come to this kind of place to buy things, this is not a matter of discrimination, but a person has money after the quality of life naturally improved, therefore, it is very normal to refuse this low-end market productsγ
After getting out of the car, Chen Shi was slightly uneasy, afraid that others would scratch the car, and he was also afraid that the children would let go of their anger, and he was too lazy to go to the crowded crowd, so he stayed in the car.
