Chapter 125: Roadside Economy

"Don't you see that those big truck drivers heading for central Yunnan, as long as there is spare capacity, will basically piggyback with sugarcane, vegetables and fruits along the way? As long as they carry a few hundred kilograms of goods along the way, they will almost have enough money for oil and food on this journey to central Yunnan or Chuncheng. There are also cars and buses like ours, and the purchasing power is not weak. ”

Qi Jingtao also had these questions before, and those old drivers said this, and he also explained it to Xu Manli.

"No wonder it's so lively here, those small traders along the road in central Yunnan and Chuncheng entrust large truck drivers to bring them over, and they pick up goods on the side of the road, which is convenient and fast, and much cheaper than coming to pull goods. Xu Manli suddenly said.

"This is called adapting measures to local conditions, you don't look at each big truck carrying not much, here is the 213 National Highway, every day passing by thousands of large trucks, the day is long, the volume of goods is quite considerable. There are also those that pass by, and they gather sand into a tower. According to statistics in their county, every year they rely on the national highway that crosses the border, and they can generate 60 or 70 million roadside economic output value. Qi Jingtao teasingly sold what he had heard before to Xu Manli.

"What roadside economy?"

"It is the economic value and employment of those car repair shops, small restaurants, small inns, water filling points, and various local agricultural product stalls opened on the side of the highway. That's about it. ”

"That's right. Brother Tao, can your farmer's trading company come here to set up a purchasing point? You have so many ready-made sales points in Central Yunnan and Spring City, and it is not bad to buy some fruits and vegetables from here and send them to Central Yunnan and Spring City for sale. ”

"Yo, you're very business-minded. Well, the farmer's trading company specializes in this business, so it's nice to have a sourcing point here. Just send one or two people over, and it's easy to contact by phone. Whatever Chuncheng and Central Yunnan need, let them organize what goods to be shipped. Yes, there are business opportunities everywhere. When I went back, I told Shi Lei and asked them to consider this mode of operation. ”

"Look at what you say, it's like doing business is mysterious. I see that those big truck drivers are all helping regular customers to bring goods, and there is no organization. If you set up a point here, there are people at both ends of Chuncheng and Central Yunnan, maybe you can directly help those small traders in Chuncheng and Central Yunnan to do some agency procurement and delivery......"

"Yes, yes, what others are used to turning a blind eye to naturally is actually full of infinite possibilities. What you said is all good advice, go back and sort out a text plan, and give it to Shi Lei for their reference. ”

Qi Jingtao sighed, how many times he passed by here didn't take these into account, and his thinking still hadn't expanded.

"What's the use of the plan I sorted out, people are soft-spoken, and no one will look at it. Besides, these are all nonsense of my own imagination, don't be laughed at. Xu Manli said embarrassedly.

"Who said that? You sort it out, and I'll give it to Shi Lei, they are people who specialize in doing these things, and they will analyze and study whether it is feasible by themselves. Having a plan and not having a plan are two different things, and maybe operation will become a new way for the company to make money. ”

Qi Jingtao encouraged Xu Manli, he didn't think there was anything wrong with these ideas. Many things, those who pay attention to and have ideas are often not able to realize them, and those who have the ability do not pay attention to them.

At present, those state-owned transport companies also have departments and agencies for the deployment of vehicles and goods, but they are more concerned with the cargo connection of empty vehicles, and pay little attention or attention to the transportation of small quantities of goods on the roadside, which is a spontaneous market. In this period when the private economy has not yet stepped out of geographical restrictions, there are many things that no one can do, but they cannot think of or do not go deep into the analysis and research.

The two walked around and took a look, Xu Manli saw that she just bought what she liked, Qi Jingtao followed behind and paid for it, no one considered buying so many souvenirs, whether their Passat could fit it. Xu Manli only knew that after purchasing some sugarcane fruits, she also bought a few roast geese, which were hot next to the stove, so she was still ready to leave.

The temperature here is too high, and the air is not very smooth, Qi Jingtao and Xu Manli actually didn't stay too long. The two hurriedly hid in the car, turned on the air conditioner and prepared to return to Central Yunnan City.

When she got to the car, Manli, who was slightly red and sweaty, felt that the heat was really unbearable, so she took off her autumn coat and threw it on the back seat, shouting incessantly: "It's hot, it's hot." ”

"Hehe, I didn't take it off just now, why did I take it off now?" Qi Jingtao turned his head to look at it funny, but his eyes involuntarily swept towards Xu Manli's chest, and he couldn't help but smack his tongue slightly and quickly turned his head to look at the road, and hurriedly started the car on the road.

He finally knew now why Xu Manli didn't take off her coat just now. At the beginning of September, the daytime temperature in central Yunnan was also about 20 degrees, and this girl was wearing a short-sleeved collarless T-shirt under her autumn coat. As soon as the coat is taken off, it is a snow-white lotus root arm and pink chest and neck, coupled with that choppy picture, is it not in vain to cheap those street vendors and car drivers on the side of the road who are red, red and black?

Hiding in her car, Xu Manli took off her coat, turned over and picked up a hard-shell car information from the back seat as a fan, and kept saying, "Brother Tao, drive faster." Put all the windows down and blow the natural wind, the air conditioner is so stuffy that it's hot. ”

"Girl, be careful of blowing sick. As soon as you hit the road, climb a few hills and the wind will blow down, and it will soon cool down. Qi Jingtao didn't dare to turn his head to look, but he had to remind Xu Manli, who was only trying to be cool.

"It's okay, I'm fine. Xu Manli said indifferently, and stretched her waist and arms to show her delicate figure.

"As soon as I put it on, it started to get cold on the mountainside. ”

"No, you won't close the windows and turn on the air conditioner. ”

……

The speed of the return trip always seems to be faster, and Qi Jingtao, who was concentrating on driving, arrived at the dam in the fifth district when the farmer's trading company had not yet gotten off work. Here, there are people at work almost every day. Seeing Qi Jingtao, who came over on a motorcycle in the morning, drove a Passat back, the people working in the company were shocked and came out to watch.

Qi Jingtao happily got out of the car, opened the trunk and took out a few bundles of sugarcane and a few boxes of fruit to greet everyone: "I just ran a test drive, everyone eats sugarcane fruits." ”

"Old watch, you are quite fast, you just told us to buy a car in the morning, and now you are driving out for a ride. Shi Lei stood upstairs with a smile and shouted.

"It's better to act than to move. Well, the Passat will be fine, right?"

"Hehehe, it's okay to run in the city, but it's enough to run in the mountains!"

"Hahaha,...... You are running in the mountains, and I am not running. Stone, you let me know, I'll treat you after work later, and we will have dinner together. ”

"Hahaha,...... Everyone heard that Qi Laobiao bought a new car and invited him to dinner. Everyone packed up and went to the Hongyun Hotel next to it to eat. Xiaotang, you go over to Boss Yang to order a meal first, and we'll go over later......"
