Wang Manyin is not alarmist.

In fact, some factories have been laid off sporadically due to business reasons. In addition to some of them being voluntary, some of them are purely unavoidable.

It's just that this word is not used now, but it is called "leave without pay" or "unemployed in the industry", "long vacation" and so on.

It wasn't until three years later that an instrument factory in Northeast China declared bankruptcy, which shocked countless people for a while.

For the first time, the workers learned that what they thought was an iron rice bowl was not strong and could be broken.

In the 90s, it was the people of Wuyang who were looking for jobs, and they deduced a lot of joys and sorrows.

To paraphrase a later generation: everything successful people say makes sense. Although Wang Manyin is not a successful person now, in the hearts of many people, what he said already carries a lot of weight.

The same is true for Guo Weidong.

It's just that this statement is very different from the concept he has accepted for a long time, and he asked with some doubts: "Brother Wang, you said that the soy sauce factory will really go bankrupt, why doesn't the county care?" ”

"How?" Wang Manyin asked rhetorically.

"Let the supply and marketing cooperatives continue to order soy sauce and vinegar, so that production can be maintained."

"If you can't sell it, what's the use of ordering...... Didn't the supply and marketing cooperatives also sell melon seeds before, why did they finally make us bigger and stronger? ”

Hearing this, Guo Weidong was silent.

He understood the meaning of Wang Manyin's words, in the past, the soy sauce factory was a unique business, and as long as there was a supply and marketing cooperative, it could be maintained steadily.

Now that the mouth is open, soy sauce from other places has entered Yuanxi County.

In addition, even private individuals have started making soy sauce.

People walk the streets and villages to shout, not only sell cheaply, but also have more flexible business methods, and can directly exchange soybeans for soy sauce.

In normal times, most farmers do not have spare money in their hands, so they are naturally more willing to barter.

As more and more competitors enter the game, it is difficult to sell what the prefectural soy sauce factory produces.

And soy sauce is different from other seasonings, the shelf life is not long, and it is easy to grow maggots in summer, and even spoiled and smelly.

Even if it is a supply and marketing cooperative, it is impossible to purchase too much at one time.

It was precisely because of various reasons that Li Xia's father had to think of another way and began to purchase machines to produce sorbet, which was reluctantly paid back wages to the workers.

However, sorbet is a seasonal product and cannot be sold when the weather is cool. Next, dozens of workers in the factory can only go back to the old road.

"Besides, our former West County is not only a soy sauce factory. A lot of the benefits are not good...... Do you think you can handle it? ”

Although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs.

Now there are not only soy sauce factories in Yuanxi County, but also small steel factories, fertilizer factories, cement factories, agricultural machinery factories, food factories, wood factories, towel quilt factories and so on.

The scale of these enterprises is too small, except for a few exceptions, the others basically do not make money, and they all rely on the county to barely maintain. There are too many people who open their mouths to eat, even if the county wants to manage it, they can't manage it.

"What about the workers in the factory?"

"Cold salad, find a way if you have a way, rest at home if you don't have a way, or go back to the village to farm!"

"Hearing you say that, I don't think it's much fun to be a worker."

Guo Weidong felt that his inner thoughts were constantly being impacted. He has been staying in the county all these years, and he has some understanding of the situation of various enterprises in the county, and knows that what Wang Manyin said is the matter.

Now many factories can't find money, and even workers' wages can only be in arrears.

"So isn't it confident? Since you have a fancy for Li Xia, go after it. Wang Manyin continued to cheer for the other party.

While the two were talking, a car horn sounded outside the door, and it was Jin Bo and Runsheng who had arrived.

The driver was sent away, and Wang Manyin helped unload the goods together.

Soon, Bai Mingchuan's brother-in-law Zhou Hongqiang went out to deliver goods and came back. After greeting a few people, he took the initiative to join the carrying team.

This made Wang Manyin quite satisfied, at least he was a good look.

In addition, he learned some information from Guo Weidong just now, and at present, this person is okay, and he has not seen any cheating and cheating.

Tens of thousands of catties of fried goods, five people took an hour to unload.

After a short rest, Wang Manyin asked Guo Weidong to lock the door of the wholesale department, and then took a few people to find a small restaurant nearby to eat.

Now there are more and more private restaurants in Huangyuan City, and most of them are doing well. In fact, as long as you are brave enough in this era, you can make money no matter what business you do.

In the afternoon, Runsheng and Jin Bo wanted to drive back, but Wang Manyin didn't order wine, so he came directly to five bowls of buckwheat noodles, two steamed buns per person, and a big pot of stewed vegetables.

While eating, suddenly a loudspeaker sounded outside.

When they looked out of their windows into the street, they saw many pedestrians parked on the side of the road.

As the car slowly drove by, you could see rows of prisoners standing in the carriage. According to the regulations, prisoners must be paraded through the streets before being escorted to the execution ground.

"I've been parading the streets for the past few days, and some bastards are so hateful that they should be shot if they are caught!" Guo Weidong pointed to the car on the road.

Zhou Hongqiang also gritted his teeth and nodded: "That's right, I also went to the trial scene the day before yesterday to listen, and there were several criminals who blocked the road and robbed and killed people." There was also a woman who conspired with her husband to abduct and sell human beings, and both husband and wife were sentenced to death......"

Wang Manyin also felt a little emotion in his heart, but he did not have the slightest sympathy.

For some time to come, at least everywhere will be much calmer.

After dinner, Runsheng and Jin Bo went to the city together, and Wang Manyin began to reconcile and collect money with Guo Weidong.

Because of Bai Mingchuan's relationship, the county department store was very refreshing, and after the purchase, the other party immediately settled the money.

After finishing the account, Guo Weidong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I finally handed over the money...... You don't know, I have more than 10,000 yuan in my hand these days, and I can't even sleep well at night, for fear that something will happen. I have no choice but to take Brother Hongqiang to live with me. Brother Wang, next time you come and bring the rhubarb to me, keep it as a guard! In case there is movement at night, we can respond in time. ”

Hearing this, Wang Manyin was also a little afraid.

It's so undeserved to forget the most important thing. Fortunately, Yan Da has been in the past few days, and the city of Huangyuan has calmed down a lot.

But rhubarb definitely can't be brought over, this guy only recognizes his own family. Even if it was handed over to Guo Weidong, he would not be able to surrender.

After explaining, Wang Manyin said again: "I'll go back and ask you for two pups, which are also rhubarb species." You raised them from a young age, and they must be obedient. ”

In the countryside, cats and dogs are not a rare thing, and they are easy to get. Two days ago, he heard that it seemed that Wang Yanqiang's family had a nest of puppies for the full moon, and he happened to get two.

After dealing with Guo Weidong's affairs, Wang Manyin went to the market to buy all kinds of condiments.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, he asked the driver to help drive the car out of Huangyuan City. When I returned, in addition to thousands of pounds of condiments, there were tens of thousands of plastic packaging bags in the carriage.

These bags were ordered in advance by Wang Manyin by phone, and then the manufacturer sent them to Huangyuan City by freight, and Guo Weidong helped them back.

After Wang Manyin received the goods, he remitted money and ordered a batch of plastic bags by the way.

By the time I got home, it was almost dark.

On the dirt road outside the yard, there was a sound of rattling as usual, and a large group of black heads were gathered in front of the TV.

Orchid cooked early.

Next, a family of three sat high on the sideline, eating and watching TV.

When the people watching TV dispersed, the orchid locked the cave door. Then he sat down under the electric light and began to crackle.

"Full of silver, excluding all kinds of costs, we shipped this batch of fried goods to Huangyuan City and earned about 1,600 yuan. According to this calculation, there are almost more than 10,000 profits a month...... In five months at most, the loan will be repaid!! ”

Although Orchid had a rough estimate of the profit, she was still indescribably excited to see a large number of tickets in front of her at the moment.

The income of 300 yuan a day was unthinkable before.

"Don't get excited, there will be more in the future. We can set a small goal first and strive to earn 200,000 yuan next year. ”

Wang Manyin actually calculated in his heart.

At present, their own fried goods can achieve a net profit of one pound and one dime. When the sales channel is completely opened, it is possible to sell 10,000 catties a day, and the cost will be further reduced.

At that point, the income will only be more.

Two hundred thousand?!

This number once again startled the orchid.

She was about to say it was too exaggerated, but when she thought about it, it didn't seem impossible.

Now most of the families in the village can't earn even a few hundred yuan a year...... The gap is too big.

In the end, Orchid said in a trembling voice: "You said that you really earned 200,000 yuan, how should you spend it?" I can't think of anything I can spend. There is no insurance in the bank, and it is estimated that the whole township knows about it. ”

"Are you afraid that you won't be able to spend your money?" Wang Manyin looked at her mother-in-law funny, "There are more places to spend money!" In the next step, I plan to build a concrete floor on the side of our house and the workshop, so that it will be convenient to dry things in the future. ”

"In addition, after the beginning of spring next year, we can pay for the village to rebuild a few stone bridges. Donate some more to the school to build a library. We can also pay for eggs, so that the children in the village can eat a boiled egg every day. ”

is still the same sentence, Wang Manyin himself has some feelings. As far as he can, he is willing to do something for the village.

Building bridges and roads to help students has always been a good deed.

***

In the following period, Wang Manyin's speculation business entered a period of slow growth.

Every three or four days, Jin Bo and Runsheng have to drive to Huangyuan City to deliver goods.

Wang Manyin told them very clearly before, two yuan a day, if you don't have to deliver the goods that day, you can help in the workshop. So during this time, the two spent most of their time working in the workshop.

In addition, there is the autumn harvest, which takes a month or two intermittently.

Therefore, after the workers finished the large part of the work in the field, they entered the working state one after another, but they were able to supply roasted goods to Huangyuan City normally.

As for Wang Manyin's family, the most important thing is naturally to collect melons.

As the weather gradually turns colder, the seedlings also begin to turn yellow and dry up.

Wang Manyin simply invited more than 10 people from the village to help pick melons, and in just one day, more than 30 acres of melon land were cleaned up.

Then, he asked someone to beat the melons and smash them one by one, put them in a large basin for washing, and finally screen and dry.

No way, it's too slow to rely on people to eat. In addition, there is no machine dedicated to crushing melons, so this stupid method can only be used temporarily.

In the next step, Wang Manyin prepared to make a small pulverizer to solve the problem.

However, after the watermelon seeds were dried, the weight was greatly beyond Wang Manyin's expectations.

On average, the yield per mu is 300 catties. Even if you just sell watermelon seed raw materials, you can earn 150 yuan per mu of land. More than 30 acres of land, starting with almost 5,000 yuan, basically covered Wang Manyin's investment in contracting barren mountains.

Wang Manyin did not hide it from the workers when he settled the accounts, so the results were quickly spread.

Many people came to the door to inquire, and when they heard the meaning, it seemed that they planned to plant melons next year.

In this regard, Wang Manyin is of course happy to hear about it.

What he didn't expect was that this incident also alarmed Liu Genmin and Yang Gaohu.

Wang Manyin was working in the workshop in the morning, and Wang Manchu led the two to the door.

"Township Chief Liu, Township Chief Yang, welcome, you are rare guests." Wang Manyin said in his mouth, and quietly glanced at Wang Manchu.

"Man Yin, Township Chief Liu and Township Chief Yang have something to do with you, let's go to your house and talk about it."

"Good, good!" Wang Manyin nodded, and said to his aunt, "Orchid, you hurry back and cook a few dishes, and let's have a few drinks at noon!" ”

"Don't let Sister Orchid be busy, we came here to ask about your family's melon planting, and we will go back to the township later." Liu Genmin hurriedly stopped.

He and Shao'an are classmates, so the title is more casual.

"That's even more about eating, it's not something that can be explained clearly in a few words. Besides, everyone is not an outsider, so they just have a light meal. "Since people have come to the door, how can Wang Manyin have a reason to push people out.

"Okay then," Liu Genmin hesitated and glanced at Yang Gaohu.

Immediately, he nodded and said, "I heard from the secretary of the Manchu Branch, the hundreds of acres of barren mountains you contracted this year are doing very well, just take us to take a look!" ”

"Okay," Wang Manyin certainly didn't refuse.

Dozens of acres of melons in the cliff ditch of Pimple Ridge have been harvested, and now there is nothing to see except for the pepper nursery.

But...... Wang Manyin will draw cakes.

If you are wrong, you should be good at planning blueprints.

He will spend three to five years to make all the 300 acres of barren mountains green, and how much income can be brought. All in all, the outlook is very promising.

By the time a few people returned, Orchid had already finished the meal.

In addition to Wang Manchu, Wang Manyin called Wang Xiuzeng and Wang Yanqiang to accompany him.

During the banquet, Liu Genmin and Yang Gaohu put forward the township's idea: to prepare for the planting of 2,000 mu of melon fields for each village in the summer and autumn of next year.

Of course, the premise is that Wang Manyin is willing to buy melon seeds.

Of course, this was a good thing, but he didn't dare to nod his head easily.

After pondering for a moment, Wang Manyin said sincerely: "Two leaders, the acquisition must be no problem." But I'm going to give you the cost first. If you want to have a high yield, you must use more chemical fertilizers. I import one package of urea per acre of land and half a package of imported high-efficiency diammonium. A bag of urea is twenty pieces, and a half pack of diamine is fifteen pieces. In addition, planting melons requires irrigation, and there is a drought when the melons are bearing, what should I do then? ”

"Most of our Shibi Festival is mountainous, watered by walking tractor, one acre of land needs six or seven liters of diesel, one liter of diesel fuel is six two five pounds, almost ten catties, that is, two yuan. This summer, the rain was good, and my family only watered it three times from planting to harvesting. In previous years, it was necessary to water at least four times, which is eight yuan. These costs can be calculated for more than 40 yuan! ”

"The most important thing is that we often hail here in summer, and a hailstorm is estimated to be able to break all the watermelons......

Farmers are most afraid of natural disasters.

Therefore, for large-scale planting of melons, Wang Manyin has doubts in his heart. What he can do is explain the problems clearly. As for how Liu Genmin and Yang Gaohu plan, it's not something they can worry about.

In addition, in the early years, there were thousands of acres of bumper yields in various places, which made Wang Manyin a little afraid. In case of a large-scale reduction in the yield of the melon fields at that time, he will be a sinner.

Hearing this, Liu Genmin and Yang Gaohu seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water on their heads, and quickly calmed down.

They used to think more about the benefits, but they didn't think about the risks.

On the Loess Plateau, hail is a high probability thing, almost every year. As Wang Manyin said, watermelons are no bigger than other crops, and they are easily broken by hailstorms.

A hailstorm may make farmers' expectations completely empty.
