On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head.

The weather is still cold.

On the sunny slope, there are already a few traces of tender green. In the Dongla River, the thick ice has not yet melted. In the shade of many mountains, patches of snow remain.

The spring ploughing and sowing of the Loess Plateau has officially kicked off. This is the most important thing for millions of people who are suffering.

The plan of the year lies in the spring.

Only when the crops are planted well will there be a good harvest in the autumn, and the family will not go hungry.

In just a few years, people have been able to fill their stomachs, and many families can even eat white buns occasionally. However, the suffering people have a vivid memory of hunger, so they cherish the land they have been allocated more and more, and they are not willing to waste a single cent of their time.

In order to be able to grab the moisture, every household is men, women and children go into battle together.

Manure transport, ditching, ploughing, harrowing...... Most families still use the most primitive farming methods.

While the family drove oxen, donkeys, and mules in front of the plough and rake, the women spread dung and seeds in the back...... As the loose loess breaks through the waves, grain by grain hopes to be sown.

There is no surprise, more than half of the forty or fifty people in the workshop have taken leave.

Wang Manyin had anticipated this situation and had instructed the workers to work overtime a week ago. At present, there are almost 70,000 catties of goods in the workshop, all of which have been replaced with new packaging.

As soon as he received a call from Ren Changhua, Wang Manyin contacted Hu Yonghe and asked him to send three trucks to help transport the goods.

Qin'an City is too far away from Yuanxi County, and it is not easy to come and go, so he plans to directly get 30,000 catties of fried goods this time. He only has one truck, and he is also responsible for transporting goods to Huangyuan City, and he can't find a driver...... It's better to simply spend more money and ask someone to help with the transportation.

Wang Manyin has Bai Mingchuan and Tian Fujun as backers, and I believe that Hu Yonghe will not dare to make any trouble.

After the mouth was released, the Hu brothers relied on the relationship between Gao Fengge and became prosperous. Hu Yongzhou directly entered Huangyuan City to contract the project, and at present, he has led the construction of new factories and workers' family buildings in several state-owned units.

As for Hu Yonghe, he chartered a few cars of the transport team to go to the provincial capital and the central plain to pull flour, and one car trip could also make a profit of hundreds of yuan.

Although the Hu brothers are not as valuable as Wang Manyin, they are also well-known as "peasant entrepreneurs" in the county.

However, Gao Fengge had an accident last year. When there was a flood in the southern city, the other party, as the commander-in-chief of flood control, actually went back to his hometown to arrange his son's marriage at a critical moment, so he was held responsible.

Without a backer, the Hu brothers are now much more low-key.

After receiving the call, Hu Yonghe immediately rushed to the village with three trucks.

Wang Manyin found someone to load the goods, and personally followed the car to Qin'an City.

Next, for a long time, the workshop could only rent cars for transportation. However, when he became bigger and stronger in the later stage, Wang Manyin planned to find Dong Gang to directly charter a train wagon.

He often sighs in his heart: no matter now or in the future, you must have a certain courage to do business and dare to do things that others dare not, so as to win an opportunity.

More than ten years ago, in that stormy era, Dong Gang, Hu Yongzhou, Wang Manyin and others could be regarded as figures standing on the cusp.

Now it is the same group of people who are the first to sense the changes of the times and take a step ahead of others. As Rebus said, standing on the cusp.

It's just that Dong Gang took a different path.

While working in a weaving factory, he built up a lot of connections.

In recent years, Dong Gang has just become a broker, pouring all kinds of approvals, including train approvals. Now the train capacity is tight, the train wagons are very tight, and an approval can sell at least a few hundred yuan.

Regarding the choice of friends, Wang Manyin didn't know what to say.

Dong Gang liked to do side business at the earliest time and wanted to make money easily, obviously still holding such ideas.

But I don't know that sometimes there are too many deviations, and it is difficult to get back to the right path. Business that is free from the gray area is not destined to last long.

This is also the reason why Wang Manyin is reluctant to earn money.

He privately persuaded Dong Gang twice, but when he saw that the other party didn't listen, he didn't say anything more.

Individuals have their own fate!

A day later, three trucks drove into Qin'an City.

For the first battle of the six squirrels, Wang Manyin naturally attaches great importance to it. After handing over to Ren Changhua, he did not return immediately, but continued to stay in Qin'an City to observe the situation.

More than a week ago, Ren Changhua had already contacted more than 30 outlets, most of which were near schools and stations.

There are no strict rules for opening small shops, so many of them are located directly inside the school or at the main entrance.

Wang Manyin specially explained that these are the key targets.

Ren Changhua's cooperation method is similar to Wang Manyin's, simple and rude. The first batch of fried goods is carried out before payment, and those traders will pay when they enter the second batch of goods.

Ren Changhua was responsible for these fragmentary things, and Wang Manyin couldn't interfere. Not long after breakfast, he came to a nearby elementary school shop and waited.

A large piece of red paper has just been posted on the wall in front of this shop, on which is written the specific content and time of the six squirrels' card drawing activity. It's still class time, and the commissary is deserted, and the boss is sitting at the counter listening to the radio.

Not long after, the bell rang for the end of class.

Soon, children poured out of the school gate in droves and ran to the kiosk.

The middle-aged boss had a smile on his face, and hurriedly got up and shouted at the group of students: "You see the red paper pasted outside, the new six squirrel melon seeds, delicious and cheap, five cents a pack (three taels)." And there are prizes inside, there are a lot of prizes, and there is also a "Water Margin" task card ......"

The other party is not lying.

In order to open up the situation in Qin'an City as soon as possible, Wang Manyin spent a lot of money.

He deliberately manually increased the winning rate of this batch of fried goods, basically one out of every five packs can be drawn, and he doesn't make any money, which can be guaranteed.

There is no way, the most important thing now is to increase brand awareness, and the winning rate must be set higher. When it stabilizes in the later stage, it can be slowly lowered.

As for Huangyuan City, the market has stabilized, and the winning rate naturally does not need to be so high, only one-tenth.

When many children heard the boss's words, they took money out of their pockets to buy fried goods.

Wang Manyin even saw that some children directly took out five yuan.

In just a few years, the number of rich people in the city has increased rapidly, and even the pocket money is more than one yuan. Compared with the current countryside, there are still people who are nervous about eating salt.

After these children bought melon seeds, they did not return to school at all, but dismantled them in place.

A little fat took out the card change from it, and immediately read it out loud: "Zhang Shun, a white strip in the waves, a native of Jiangzhou, dominated Xunyang River with his brother in his early years, and ranked thirtieth when Liangshan Juyi ......"

Afterwards, several children also read it with great interest.

"Mine is the prodigal son Yanqing......"

"I'm not a character in "Water Margin", but a squirrel card, which can be exchanged for a pack of melon seeds! Boss, give me another pack! ”

Their actions attracted other children around them.

It has to be said that this new card collection game has a great attraction for children.

One to ten, ten to hundred.

Soon, the front of the shop became bustling, and thirty or forty children gathered there to watch the card opening.

The boss couldn't stop laughing the whole time.

There are twenty-five heroes in this batch of cards. Because on the first day, almost every one is different. It greatly increased the children's interest.

Wang Manyin made a rough count, and in just one class time, the small shop in front of him actually sold more than 20 packs of "six squirrels" fried goods, of which most of them were spiced melon seeds.

By the end of the second period, news of the six squirrels drawing cards had spread throughout the campus.

Within two minutes, a large group of children rushed out of the school gate. The small shop was even more besieged, and at least 50 packs were sold after class.

According to the profit of two cents per bag, you can earn almost fifteen yuan in a morning.

Definitely made a profit.

Seeing the boss making money, Wang Manyin was even happier in his heart.

Next, he rode his bicycle to a nearby middle school.

The rules on the campus of the middle school are a little stricter than that of the primary school, and students are not allowed to go out at will after class, and outsiders are not allowed to enter at will. However, in order to make it easier for students to shop, there is also a small shop inside.

This regulation is not difficult for Wang Manyin.

He handed the uncle a cigarette and said that he was looking for his own child if he had something to do, so he easily entered it.

It's class time, and the second shop is also deserted. But when Wang Manyin entered the store, he still saw a lot of plastic packaging bags of six squirrels that had been opened piled up on the ground on the side.

It should be picked up by the boss, after all, plastic bags can also be sold for money now.

The shopkeeper was an old lady with shrewdness written all over her face.

Seeing Wang Manyin, she immediately asked out loud: "Housheng, what do you want to buy?" ”

"Hello, auntie, I'm a salesman at the Six Squirrels Factory. Today is the first time that the roasted goods produced by our factory are sold at various outlets in Qin'an City. So I want to investigate the specific situation, I don't know how you sell here? ”

In order to facilitate the next conversation, Wang Manyin directly added an identity to himself.

"You're the one of the six squirrels...... This melon seed is so good. We sold more than sixty packs just now, and my man went to stock again......" The old lady had to answer, and she didn't think to check Wang Manyin's documents at all.

While the two were talking, they saw an old man returning on his bicycle, carrying a snakeskin bag full of six squirrels.

After learning Wang Manyin's identity, the old man was also very enthusiastic.

When Wang Manyin returned to Ren Changhua, he saw a long bicycle parked at the entrance of the wholesale department from a distance, all of which were coming to buy goods.

At this time, Ren Changhua was busy in full swing, and even his parents were helping to collect money and count goods.

Seeing that the other party's busy feet did not touch the ground, Wang Manyin took the initiative to go over to help.

It wasn't until noon that all the guests were sent away that a few people breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Wang, your 'six squirrels' are so hot! In this morning alone, more than 6,000 packs were sold. Now that it's just started, I estimate that more people will come to buy in the afternoon. 30,000 catties of roasted goods, it can be sold out in a week at most, you have to hurry back and prepare to pull another batch, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch it later......" Ren Changhua was extremely excited.

His mouth was dry all morning, and his voice was a little hoarse.

Ren Changhua could already predict that the next six squirrels would be on fire for a while.

I only contacted more than 30 consignment points before, but I just made statistics, and more than 50 came to buy goods in the morning. Most of these new vendors are from the suburbs.

With seven districts and six counties and a population of more than 5 million, Qin'an is a very large market. As the word of mouth of the six squirrels spreads, there will only be more and more vendors buying goods in the future.

Even like selling clothing, people from other regions rush over to wholesale.

Regarding Ren Changhua's request, Wang Manyin agreed.

He stayed in Qin'an City for two days, which was completely relieved. The six squirrels have already caused a huge repercussion among the students, and now even the surrounding counties of Qin'an City have vendors rushing over to buy goods, and some even have the courage to buy 500 catties at one time.

He originally estimated that 30,000 catties of fried goods would be sold out in half a month, but now depending on the situation, it may really be like what Ren Changhua said, and he may not be able to hold on to it for even a week.

In order to allow Wang Manyin to supply goods in time, Ren Changhua simply cleared the first batch of fried goods, and there was no need to wait for the second batch.

Wang Manyin didn't plan to run to Qin'an City with the car every time. After discussing with the other party, he decided to handle the collection and acceptance at the bank starting from the second batch of goods, and the bank would collect the money on his behalf.

This saves both parties a hassle, and orders can be placed directly by phone.

When returning, Wang Manyin deliberately stopped in Huangyuan City for half a day.

As expected, Guo Weidong was also very excited, and immediately got up when he saw him.

"Brother Wang, it's so hot! Since these two days, the card has been drawn, and almost 10,000 catties can be sold in one day. There is no need for Brother Zhou to deliver goods at all, those vendors are all taking the initiative to come to the door, and the two of us can just greet them in the wholesale department......"

"Well, hard work. From today onwards, your monthly salary will be increased by ten dollars! Wang Manyin said loudly.

After returning home, the wages of the factory workers will also increase. Ten yuan for hairy eggs, and five yuan for other workers.

In addition, from this month onwards, he will be paid on a monthly basis.

The efficiency of the factory is good, and Wang Manyin certainly wants to improve the treatment of employees, so that everyone can enjoy the dividends brought by the development of the factory. For him, it is better to pay more wages to the workers than to pay more taxes.

In 81 years, the individual income tax has been officially collected. However, the starting point of taxation is very high, and the monthly salary of more than 800 yuan is included in the scope of taxation.

At present, most people earn only forty or fifty yuan a month, and their annual income is not 800 yuan. Therefore, personal income tax has nothing to do with ordinary people for the time being, and is mainly aimed at foreigners and high-income groups.

Self-employed, one of the high-income groups.

Don't look at Wang Manyin's business is quite big now, and there are nearly 50 people working under him, but he is still self-employed, so he has to pay taxes according to his personal income.

Of course, there is also the need to pay the business administration fee and the security administration fee.

For taxes, Wang Manyin has always been very serious and has always reported honestly.

If the speculation business has been booming until the end of the year this year, it is estimated that it will be able to bring at least hundreds of thousands of taxes to Shibijie Township, and it is estimated that it will shock countless people by then.

***

After returning to Jar Village, Wang Manyin arranged for someone to deliver goods to Qin'an City as soon as possible. This time he didn't follow the car again, but sent Runsheng to go there. I called Shaoping in advance and asked the other party to help take care of it at that time.

Wang Manyin didn't expect that the card drawing turmoil would also affect the children at home.

As soon as Wang Xing and Wang Lei arrived home on Saturday, they immediately shouted and asked him to draw a card.

"Dad, you don't know...... Now that we're all going crazy in school, get me some rare cards to show off. Wang Lei couldn't help urging.

"Study hard, what's so fun about a piece of torn paper? I'll give it to you when the homework is done. Day by day, my heart is not in the right place. Orchid drove her eldest son aside.

Hearing his mother's nagging, Wang Xing swallowed his tongue and followed his brother away honestly.

But the orchid was still a little confused: "Full silver, why do you say it's just a piece of paper, how can it bring such a magical effect?" ”

She is also concerned about the recent sales of her own fried goods.

"Don't underestimate a picture, there are university questions here. Because of the uncertainty, the children didn't know what the card was inside until they opened the package, so they were full of anticipation......

In fact, this card drawing is no different from the blind box culture of later generations, making full use of the curiosity of consumers.

The wise quote in the movie "Forrest Gump" says it well: "Life is like chocolate candy in a box, you never know what the next one will taste like." ”

It is through the uncertainty and random rewards in the product that it will bring freshness and excitement to the consumer's brain, and then make people indulge in the pleasure brought by random returns.

This is commonly referred to as "addiction".

There are also people in foreign countries who have created a kind of psychology called "behavioral design".
