Chapter 243: How Big Bowls, How Many Meals to Eat

"Making candy requires a special machine, and although the process is not complicated, there are many intermediate links. In addition, the raw materials include white sugar, starch sugar, pigments, etc., which are difficult to buy in large quantities without approval, and they are not at all something that ordinary people can play. So the best starting point is to fry melon seeds...... "Wang Manyin said his thoughts as they were.

In this era, I am afraid that few people realize how big the market size of fried food can be. There have been special reports in later generations, as early as 76 years, the king of melon seeds in the south earned the first million in his life.

However, due to the situation, he did not dare to deposit in the bank at all, so he could only hide in his own home. Later, because the coins were damp and moldy, they were placed on the earthquake shed to dry, and they were placed all over the roof.

After entering the eighties, the fool has developed rapidly, and even became a benchmark of the times, remembered by history.

A few squirrels in later generations have achieved a scale of nearly 10 billion in just a few years. Another speculation giant, Kaka Gua Seeds, has a market value of more than tens of billions.

Therefore, as long as the industry of speculation has the pulse of the times, it will definitely make a difference.

Of course, no one can get rid of the limitations of the times, and the decline of fools is another story.

"So the melon seeds we ate today were fried by you? Brother-in-law, you still fry melon seeds!? Sun Shaoan asked in surprise.

Tian Fujun's face also showed a bit of discoloration. Only then did he realize that Wang Manyin was not only an idea, but had already begun to put it into action. Can this be said in another way, at least not in the vernacular.

"That's right," Wang Manyin nodded.

"Man Yin, have you done a detailed investigation, just by selling fried melon seeds, you can make the people of Jar Village rich? In addition, as mentioned just now, the production process of fried melon seeds is very simple, as long as there are raw materials, everyone can make them. How do you make sure to make this mess bigger? Tian Fujun pointed out the most critical points.

With his vision, he can naturally see the defects in the fried melon seed industry. The entry threshold is too low, and you can fry it in a large pot at will.

"Of course I looked into it. Now the salted melon seeds in the supply and marketing cooperatives cost five cents a catty, but melon seed tickets are needed, and each person is limited to three taels, which cannot meet people's needs at all. The fried melon seeds sold by small traders on the market are one pound a piece, and the highest one is two, among which the city is the place with the most consumption. Since the beginning of this spring, I have been going back and forth between Yuanxi County and Huangyuan City, and found that movie theaters, stations, and school gates are the most popular places to sell melon seeds. ”

"Especially outside the school gate and the movie theater, a small vendor can sell ten catties of melon seeds a day! Excluding various costs, according to a pound of three cents, ten pounds is three yuan! ”

Since Wang Manyin intends to do this industry, he will definitely conduct a detailed investigation in advance.

No matter what the era, women and children have the best money to earn.

At present, the rural areas have not yet solved the problem of food and clothing, so adults generally rarely give their broken babies money to spend. Even if you give it, it's only one or two points at a time.

In the cities, it is different, most people are on a salary, and the money is much more generous. In particular, since last year, 40 percent of workers' wages have been raised by one level.

When adults have money in their hands, they naturally have to spend it on children.

Therefore, with the liberalization, the number of small traders and vendors at the school gate quickly increased. At the end of each class, a large group of children would gather in front of their booth.

Again, the snacks of this era are too monotonous. In addition to all kinds of sweets and pastries, it is roasted food. The price of pastries is too expensive, and the average child is reluctant to buy them at all, so the sales of candy and melon seeds are very hot.

Most of the vendors fry their own salted melon seeds, and there are almost no other flavors.

Their way of buying and selling is very flexible, they don't use a scale at all, they weigh directly with a paper tube. Five cents a tube, about half a tael, can make children eat for half a day.

As for the vicinity of the movie theater, it is a place for young men and women to date, and fried melon seeds are also very well bought.

Every time Wang Manyin passed, he could see a thick layer of melon seed skin on the ground.

He roughly estimated that the people of the original West County could eat hundreds of catties of melon seeds every day. Coupled with the dozen or so communes below, the amount is at least 500 catties a day.

As a result, it will be expanded to the entire Huangyuan region, and the number will be even more amazing, and three thousand catties a day is considered less. If you calculate the consumption of the surrounding two provinces, it is estimated that there will be at least 20,000 catties per day.

Even if he occupies nearly one-tenth of the market, it is two thousand catties. According to a pound of profit of five cents, a thousand yuan a day.

Some people may think that this data is exaggerated, but in fact, Wang Manyin is well-founded.

According to information from later generations, three years later, the fool sold 200,000 catties of melon seeds in a coastal city in just one Spring Festival.

A fool can do it, but there's no reason why he can't do it.

However, Shao'an was shocked by the grand blueprint for the future described by his brother-in-law: 1,000 yuan a day, which is worth a year's salary for himself and Runye. According to this calculation, you can earn three or four hundred thousand a year.

But when he calmed down, he asked again: "Brother-in-law, according to your algorithm, you have to sell nearly one million catties of fried melon seeds a year, where do you plan to buy raw materials?" ”

Now the production team is very limited in what crops to plant, and there is no place for large-scale sunflower planting in Yuanxi County.

"Take your time, there's always a way. The initial raw materials should not be a big problem......"

The meal had to be eaten step by step, and Wang Manyin was not ready to eat a fat man in one go. In his planning, he started from the original West County, slowly accumulated experience, and then expanded to Huangyuan City when the conditions were ripe.

Tian Fujun thought for a moment and gave the answer: "You plan to buy raw materials from the northern grassland, right?" ”

"That's right, it's the grassland!" Wang Manyin nodded again.

More than 10 years ago, in order to be able to control saline-alkali land, the grassland began to promote sunflower cultivation, and the area continued to expand. In just a few years, it has reached tens of thousands of acres, and then it has grown to 6.7 million acres.

Therefore, as long as there is a way, there should be no shortage of raw materials in a short time.

In later generations, the area of sunflowers planted in the grassland accounted for more than 70 percent of the country's total, close to 7 million mu, and most of the well-known melon seed brands in China were manufactured by the grassland.

Yuanxi County is only a few hundred miles away from the grassland, and in terms of freight costs alone, Wang Manyin also has more advantages than several brands in the south.

"If you want to make the melon seed business bigger, I think there are two important points. The first is to reduce costs. As long as the scale is large enough, the cost will be lower than others. The second is to grasp the taste and quality ......"

Why did Wang Manyin explain to Tian Fujun in detail his idea of doing speculation business? I just want to be recognized.

He has always been very aware that if you want to do business in this era, there are many constraints, and someone must escort you. No one may pay attention to a small fight, but once the business grows, all kinds of situations will arise. Even in the future, similar situations cannot be avoided.

The king of melon seeds has suffered losses in this regard and has faced prison several times.

Wang Manyin is different, as early as ten years ago, he established his own connections.

A few years ago, Bai Mingchuan, who served as a cadre in the garrison in Jarzi Village, was promoted to the director of the Shibijie Commune because of his outstanding work achievements. Not long ago, he was transferred to the county as deputy director.

Since the other party came to Jar Village, Wang Manyin has been careful to maintain the relationship with each other. So when encountering ordinary troubles, Bai Mingchuan is definitely willing to help.

Of course, the thickest thigh is Tian Fujun. According to the description in the original book, although Tian Fujun is currently in a low period, he will jump up soon.

With the relationship between the two parties, Wang Manyin can avoid many uncertainties.

With so many advantages, if he doesn't do it well, he can only prove that he is really not a business material.

Tian Fujun nodded frequently after listening, and there was a lot of emotion in his heart.

The times create heroes, and this is true.

People like Wang Manyin are like being in a cone, and they didn't look very good in the past.

As soon as the time came, it immediately broke out of the bag.

Today's conversation alone made Tian Fujun feel that the trip was worthwhile. He looked forward to the other party being able to realize the blueprint depicted, and even had the idea of helping out in his heart, trying to make the other party take fewer detours.

"Manyin, I read the internal newspaper some time ago, and now there are requirements for self-employed people to do business, and no more than seven employees can be employed. In this way, the scale of the fried melon seed workshop cannot be expanded, and it will not benefit all the villagers in the jar village. Private entrepreneurs are now not allowed to start businesses......"

Now pay attention to seven up and eight down, seven people meet the regulations, eight people make mistakes.

Hearing this, Shao'an put forward his own idea: "Brother-in-law, I feel that when the time comes, you can hang the workshop under the name of the village collective, so that you can obtain a non-private status, and you should not be subject to recruitment restrictions." ”

Wang Manyin couldn't help but look at his brother-in-law, shook his head speechlessly, and said, "Shao'an, it's better not to take advantage of some cheapness." 'How big a bowl there is, how much food you eat.' How much power, how much to do'. Since I am not allowed to run a company, I will be self-employed for the time being. If the people in the village make money by watching fried melon seeds, they can also follow suit. At worst, they can grow sunflowers and sell them for money, which is much more profitable than growing food crops. ”

Shao'an's idea sounds good on the surface, but it is actually to pit his brother-in-law to death.

In the years that followed, many people started private businesses in a similar way.

They pay a certain management fee to a collective or state-owned enterprise and obtain a non-private status in order to obtain protection.

In this way, it seems that many things can be avoided, and as a result, when the enterprise develops, because the property rights are not clear, it will cause more trouble. There are even some people who work hard for their enterprises and are swallowed as fat and end up in prison.

Such a big pit, Wang Manyin naturally will not step on it. He would rather take smaller steps and walk more steadily than rush to achieve success.

There are many ways to achieve the idea of small goals. It's a big deal that after more than ten years of investing in the stock market, you can make a lot of money by drinking alcohol and taking medicine.

He makes fried goods, and he has more industrial feelings in it, and wants to bring some real benefits to the people of Jar Village.

"What Man Yin said is very reasonable, there is no distinction between public and private, it seems that he has taken advantage of it for the time being, and he will be in trouble in the end." Tian Fujun echoed and agreed.

He has been through a lot of things, and he understands the troubles that exist.

After a small talk, Wang Manyin basically achieved his goal. It wasn't until it was dark that he left with the children.

When they got home, the three little ones immediately ran to the village with joy as if they had taken off the reins.

Wang Manyin moved a chair and sat on the sidelines while sobering up and planning what to do in the coming year. With the various liberalizations, the commune is now no longer strict in the management of self-retained trees.

After the beginning of spring next year, you can plant a few more fruit trees on the edge of the field. By the way, planting a circle of horsetail seeds around the steep slope can not only prevent soil erosion, but also add a natural fence.

Speaking of which, the results of afforestation in the past ten years have been quite remarkable. A few years ago, the commune issued a new regulation advocating vigorous tree planting, and the standard was: "More than 100 trees should be planted on all sides, on average, per person".

Other villages practiced with gusts of wind, but the village of jars has always persevered.

In ten years, at least 10,000 trees were planted in the idle area around the village. Jujube thorn, horse ruffle, acacia tree...... There are all kinds of miscellaneous trees. In particular, the eastern mountains have become lush and green, and in spring, summer and autumn, they have completely become a sea of green.

Coupled with more than a dozen silt dams, there are almost no more flash floods in the summer.

The changes in the environment of the East Mountain Pass have also added nearly 100 acres of fertile land to the second team. It is the existence of these fertile fields that can reassure the members and no longer worry about hunger.

There was a great drought one year, and the harvest in the villages of the Shibi Festival was lost, and many people went out to beg for food, and hundreds of people in the jar village still carried it over.

Since then, Jar Village has become a well-known advanced village in Xuedazhai, and even registered in the Huangyuan area. Nowadays, when the members go out and mention that they are from the jar village, they will be looked down upon.

After staying for a while, the alcohol completely dissipated.

Being bored at home alone, Wang Manyin simply grabbed a handful of melon seeds, brought rhubarb, and swayed into Dongshan Pass.

It's winter, and the surrounding mountains and forests are desolate. In the gully, many bushes have four-finger-high stubble, which is the mark left by the machete.

A few years ago, after afforestation reached a certain scale, Wang Lianshun would send people to cut shrubs in the autumn and winter every year, and then distribute them to the members as firewood.

Each family can divide a large firewood stack, which is at least enough for two or three months, but it saves a lot of effort to go into the mountains to cut firewood.

In addition, the most important thing in Dongshan Pass should be hundreds of pepper trees, which can bring thousands of side income to the second team every year.

Wang Manyin now works as a forest ranger in Dongshan Pass, so he knows these accounts very well.

Walking some distance along the cliff ditch, seeing that there was no one around, he turned into a ditch.

Immediately, the dodge vanished.

When it reappeared, it was once again occupied by greenery.

Now that there are a few more children, it is a lot more difficult for him to get in and out of the space. Basically, it is no longer operated at home every day, and only when it goes to a remote and uninhabited place in the wild, will it enter it.

In the past ten years, space has also undergone earth-shaking changes.

The small saplings planted by Wang Manyin at the beginning have now become towering trees more than ten meters high.

The pond ditch where the fish are raised is also completely covered by the jungle. Farther away, many saplings spontaneously grow, stretching more than 100 meters away.

Of course, more places are occupied by wild grass.

With the canal as the dividing line, two or three meters wide near the canal, the barren grass is more than half a person deep. Farther away, it gradually becomes shorter.

A few dozen meters away from the water source, it is still loess soil. However, Wang Manyin has completely lost the interest in planting plants and trees, and prefers to keep the land pristine.
