At night, the sound of crickets outside the window is constantly chirping.

Jiang Qing was still stepping on the sewing machine, and the sound of da-da-da-da was very rhythmic.

Jiang Yang lay on the mat, looking at the ceiling in a daze.

"Don't go out for the next two days."

Jiang Qing's voice suddenly sounded, pulling Jiang Yang's thoughts back.

"Why?"

Jiang Qing turned around from the sewing machine, her face full of worry, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.

"That Liu Guangzhi is a notoriously pungent scoundrel, I'm afraid he will make trouble for you."

Jiang Yang smiled indifferently: "He doesn't dare to do anything to me yet." ”

Jiang Qing sighed and said, "I still have to find a way to get the money to him quickly, otherwise this person may not be able to do something." ”

With that, he continued to pedal the sewing machine.

Jiang Yang looked at Jiang Qing's busy back and said softly: "From now on, everything is with me." ”

……

Early the next morning.

Jiang Yang rode an old Phoenix bicycle out early.

First, I went to the grain purchase station.

The staff said that more than 5 tons of grain can be sent to the countryside to collect it for free.

Corn 3 mao, barley 3 mao 5, sorghum temporarily not harvested.

Then I went to the county's passenger station again, learned about the branch situation of the surrounding towns and villages in Shishan County, and by the way, I went to the newsstand to buy a map, and studied Shishan County where I was located.

Shishan County, with a total population of 1.69 million.

It is divided into four cities, east, west, north and south, and a combination of cities and villages.

The city has jurisdiction over 21 towns, 12 townships and 327 villages.

Among them, the townships that are easy to reach by transportation are Lianhua Township, Chishui Township and Hongying Township.

Jiang Yang looked at the passenger station, and took a minibus from Shishan County to these three towns, and the ticket cost about 2 yuan, and the distance was about 20 kilometers.

These three townships are the largest townships in Shishan County, and there are nearly 80 villages under their jurisdiction.

I first bought a bottle of soda on the side of the road and took it with me, and then bought a ticket to Lotus Township.

He planned to visit the village store first to find out.

The bus departed in less than ten minutes, and it staggered out of the city.

On the way, Jiang Yang looked out the window while constantly talking to the old man beside him.

Jiang Yang learned through this old man that this Shishan County is mainly agricultural, not only has a lot of grain, but also many farmers have grown fruits in the field.

Barley, corn, sorghum.

Pears, apples, peaches.

The journey was very bumpy, and the 20-kilometer journey took almost an hour.

Jiang Yang got out of the minibus and was shocked by the scene in front of him.

In the endless fields, the fruit trees are neatly separated on the blueprint like a lattice.

The air is sweet, and inhaling it into the lungs makes people feel good.

The sky was as blue as the ocean, and the cicadas were deafening.

As we walked down the country road into the village, smoke rose from the cooking.

Jiang Yang found that there was often only a simple commissary in these villages.

The goods in the commissary are very simple, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and some snacks for children, adding up to less than a dozen kinds of goods.

Due to poverty and backwardness, they could not afford to buy refrigerators, such as cold drinks and sodas, only two of the ten commissaries could be seen, and they were already covered with dust, and it was obvious that no one cared about them for a long time.

But it's no wonder that the price of this bottled soda is generally around 5 cents, like Coca-Cola, and even sells for 1 yuan a bottle.

The gap between rich and poor is clear at a glance.

Rich people in the city drink Coca-Cola and Jianlibao, and many rural families are reluctant to buy even a bag of drinks for their dolls.

Jiang Yang casually entered a store with a commissary and began to negotiate with the boss.

It didn't take long for him to come out of the store with a satisfied face.

Clearly, his idea worked perfectly.

In the morning, Jiang Yang ran to five or six villages without his legs, and negotiated the same content with the shopkeeper.

The approach is all the same.

Jiang Yang hopes that through these commissaries, the idea of exchanging cold drinks for food will be realized, and he generously said that for every pound of grain exchanged, he will give the store a commission of 1 cent in return.

But there is a premise for all this, and that is that the commissary requires a deposit of 1 cent per bottle of cold drink.

The cold drink was exchanged, Jiang Yang came to collect the grain, and then returned the deposit.

Of course, the owners of the commissary are happy to do it.

I worked all morning, and I didn't have time to eat a bite.

When Jiang Yang returned to the county seat by bus, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

Zhou Hao was already waiting anxiously under the big locust tree on the trade street.

When he saw Jiang Yang, he finally breathed a deep sigh of relief.

At this time, there was an extra agricultural tricycle behind him, and the cart was full of bottled cold drinks.

"Brother Jiang, you are here."

Zhou Hao hurriedly stepped forward.

Jiang Yang smiled: "What, are you still afraid that I won't be able to release your pigeon?" ”

Zhou Hao touched the back of his head embarrassedly.

"How many in total?"

Jiang Yang asked.

"There are 800 bottles on the tricycle, and I still have quite a few at home, and I'm making them!"

Zhou Hao replied.

Jiang Yang nodded and said: "There are basically these, these 800 bottles are just samples, if this business is done, I'm afraid 80,000 bottles will not be enough." ”

Zhou Hao was shocked when he heard this.

"Brother Jiang, what kind of business are we going to do?"

Jiang Yang laughed and said, "Let's go, get on your tricycle, and follow me to the countryside." ”

As soon as they returned to the city, the two of them drove on the agricultural tricycle and headed towards Lotus Township.

When Jiang Yang returned to the commissary in the countryside again, the old people in the store were surprised.

To put it bluntly, the young man's efficiency is really fast.

With Zhou Hao's agricultural tricycle, the country roads are like a tiger with wings.

800 bottles of cold drinks were quickly distributed in kiosks in more than 20 villages.

As previously agreed, a deposit of a dime for a bottle of cold drink.

800 bottles of cold drinks were charged for 80 yuan.

Zhou Hao counted the money and smiled, and said, "Brother Jiang, you are so good, you sold all the goods so quickly and made half of the net profit." ”

In Zhou Hao's heart, the cost price of 5 cents is already very powerful to sell for 1 cent in the blink of an eye.

He didn't know that this was just the beginning of Jiang Yang's strategy. And the 80 yuan is just a deposit.

In the process, Jiang Yang left the landline number of each shop.

Barley, corn, sorghum and other grains are exchanged for cold drinks 1 to 1.

For the people in the village, grabbing a handful of grain to the commissary can be replaced with a bottle of cold drink, which is very cost-effective.

When they saw that they had seen more food, they took out a handful of corn and took out the money from their pockets, although there was not much difference in value, but the difference in psychological effect was too great.

After careful calculation, 1 pound of corn is only 3 cents, and other soda drinks in the commissary cost at least 5 cents a bottle, which is still a lot of bargain.

Jiang Yang also calculated an account in his heart.

Putting aside the 5 cents cost of each bottle purchased from Zhou Hao, and then removing the fuel cost of transportation, labor and other messes, as well as the 1 cent commission in the commissary, each bottle of cold drink can net 2 cents.

But he wanted much more than that.

There are a total of 327 villages in Shishan County.

At present, there are only 20 villages that have distributed goods.

These 20 villages are like a fuse, and if they explode, it will cause a lot of shock in Shishan County.

When the time comes, this business of exchanging grain for cold drinks will have more unexpected gains.

After Jiang Yang took Zhou Hao to put the cold drink in the village commissary, he did not leave in a hurry, but found a shade to observe.

In less than half an hour, the village dolls were crowded at the door of the commissary.

There are old people who are in a hurry to change pots and bowls, and there are also children who steal their own food and come out to exchange for cold drinks.

At this time, Zhou Hao seemed to have reacted to something, and goosebumps appeared on his back.

"Brother Jiang, this is the business you are talking about, and it is too good!"

Jiang Yang smiled: "It's just a little trick."
