Chapter 328: Another Year

During this time, Shao'an continued to take trucks to Huangyuan City and Qin'an City for inspection.

As a result, after he came back, he immediately rushed to the door and said: "Brother-in-law, I went to Qin'an City a few days ago and found a kind of flower and plant called Junzi Orchid, the price is very high, and one plant can be sold for thousands of yuan. At present, Junzi orchid is still relatively rare in our Qin Province, do you think it can be planted on a large scale? I read that there are also reports in the newspapers, and it has been rated as the ...... of the city by a city."

"What are you investigating?" Wang Manyin asked speechlessly.

He only knew that at this point in time, "Junzilan" made a lot of noise, but he didn't expect that even Qin'an City, thousands of miles away, would be affected.

It's normal to think about it, Junzilan is popular in the three northeastern provinces, but it doesn't mean that this craze won't spread to other places. At the end of the day, people's desire for profit is the same.

In fact, it has now spread.

It's just that the awareness of Junzi Orchid in other places is not high, so the market speculation is still in its infancy.

Wang Manyin once planned to earn the first pot of gold with the help of Junzilan. Later, after having a speculation business, he decided to choose to make money steadily.

Seeing that his brother-in-law was fooled, Wang Manyin hurriedly advised: "Shao'an, don't be deceived by the newspaper, there must be someone hyping behind the scenes." You can use your brain to think about it, Junzi Orchid is just an ordinary pot of flowers and plants, you can't eat or drink, why do you sell it for thousands of yuan? Now everyone is buying like crazy, just trying to make a profit from it. ”

"It's like beating the drum and passing the flowers, they all want people to take the last baton. If it hits your hand, no one will want to sell it cheaply......"

Then, Wang Manyin analyzed the specific process of hype for Shao'an.

Zhang San, Li Si, and Wang Wu hyped up a pot of Junzi Orchid, Zhang San sold it to Li Si for 10 yuan, Li Si sold it to Wang Wu for 100 yuan, and Wang Wu sold it to Zhang San for 1,000 yuan...... After a few cycles like this, the price of a pot of junzi orchid will reach an astonishing level.

As long as they attract fools to buy, the three of them will make money smoothly.

As for the fool who took over the plate, he could only cry to Junzilan.

In later generations, there was too much such hype.

From the gentleman's orchid, to orchids, tea, all kinds of wood, etc., and even hype all kinds of pits.

The speculation method is much the same, hoarding goods in advance, and then frantically raising prices, with the left hand in and the right hand out, resulting in a false prosperity in the market.

After the fools come in, the merchant starts to ship again, cash out and leave.

"I know......" After listening to his brother-in-law's analysis, Shao'an only felt a cold sweat on his head.

"Actually, I think there's something wrong, but people are crazy! You say so many smart people, why can't you see through it? I read in the newspaper that the highest price of Junzi Orchid has been sold for 80,000 yuan per pot, which is equivalent to the wages of workers for more than 100 years. ”

Wang Manyin sighed: "It's not that I can't see through it, to put it bluntly, it's still greedy." These people are like gamblers sitting at the table, betting that they are not the unlucky ones who will take the last baton. ”

"Brother-in-law, what do you think of making spices?"

"I said this before, it's definitely okay......"

Listening to Shao'an's meaning, it seemed that he was interested in making seasonings, and Wang Manyin analyzed it in detail.

What he didn't expect was that his brother-in-law did not step into the trap of Junzilan, but Dong Gang was tempted.

When he went to Huangyuan City to deliver goods, Wang Manyin thought that he didn't go to Dong Gang's house to be a guest when he had time, so he brought two air-dried rabbits to visit.

As a result, as soon as he entered Dong Gang's house, he found that the courtyard was very different. In a corner against the wall, a new greenhouse was newly buckled with plastic sheeting.

Wang Manyin couldn't help but ask: "Brother Dong, your family still deducts greenhouses to grow vegetables, is there a shortage of vegetables in the city now?" ”

In this era, many people around the country have begun to try to grow out-of-season vegetables in plastic greenhouses. Now out-of-season vegetables are a new thing, so the price is relatively expensive, and the profit of one mu can even reach thousands of yuan.

Most of the people who ate the crabs first tasted the sweetness.

Hearing this, Dong Gang shook his head again and again: "What kind of vegetables, I plant flowers and plants." Come, show you the world. ”

As he spoke, he lifted the curtain of the greenhouse.

Wang Manyin noticed that there were more than 20 pots of green plants inside.

He blurted out: "Junzilan? ”

"Man Yin, you know it too." Dong Gang responded with some surprise, "That's right, it's Junzilan!" Some time ago, I heard from friends in the Northeast that this kind of flower is very expensive, and the price rises three times a day. So I took a car to the Northeast and bought it for 100,000 yuan, all of which were precious varieties. Now a flower cellar has been built and kept in it. ”

"Brother Dong, I have heard people say that the price of Junzilan is artificially hyped, and I don't know when it will collapse. You'd better sell your ...... sooner."

Wang Manyin hurriedly persuaded him.

In the end, he didn't want to see Dong Gang fall into it.

"Don't worry, I have it in my heart. When new seedlings are cultivated next year, one plant can be sold for at least tens of thousands of yuan...... Don't you read the newspaper, people also set the gentleman's orchid as the city flower. There is support for it, and it will definitely not collapse for the time being. Next year, I will sell all of them and make at least 200,000 yuan. ”

Seeing that the other party was completely fascinated by it, Wang Manyin simply didn't say more.

In the final analysis, Dong Gang is used to making quick money, and he is not willing to do things in a down-to-earth manner at all.

But I don't know that it's easy to gather fast money, and it's easy to disperse.

***

With the official operation of the production line introduced by the provincial radio factory, TV tickets are no longer so in demand. In particular, the black-and-white TV is now on the counter of the Shibijie Township Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

In just half a year, more than 20 new TVs have been added to the Jar Village. Among the two or three hundred rural areas in the original West County, it is definitely unique.

Especially as the Chinese New Year approaches, the number of people buying TVs has increased rapidly.

Because of this, the reporter of "Huangyuan Daily" was also alarmed to come for an interview.

Of course, in this report, it is indispensable to praise the six squirrels for roasting.

There are more people who buy TVs, and people have higher pursuits for programs. The village is surrounded by mountains, and the television signal is severely hindered. At present, most families in the village can only watch one or two programs, usually the largest station and the Qin Provincial TV station. Occasionally, I can receive programs from neighboring provinces, and the rest are blurry, which is really not enjoyable.

So Laixi approached Wang Manyin as a representative and proposed to build a 10-watt small transfer station in the village to solve the problem of people's difficulty in watching TV.

This kind of differential station TV signal covers a radius of 3 kilometers, can receive 5 channels, forward 7 channels, enough for the whole village to use.

The price is not too expensive, about 3,000 yuan.

Wang Manyin did not refuse after hearing this, and told the other party bluntly that he was willing to take the lead and take 2,000 yuan to support the village to run a transfer station, but the rest of the money needed to be made up by others.

With the workshop's current earning capacity, let alone 3,000 yuan, 30,000 yuan is not a problem. But again, there are some things in the village that concern everyone, and you can't let yourself pay for it alone.

Otherwise, it will become natural and may make it more ugly......

Wang Manyin dealt with the people in the village, and he adhered to a red line in his heart.

After getting the letter, the next thing is to coordinate with the others. Now there is a gap of 1,000 yuan, and more than 20 households in the village have televisions, and each household can contribute a maximum of 50 yuan, so it should not be a big problem to get together.

Lai Xi was responsible for the construction of the transfer station, and after Wang Manyin gave the money, he didn't care about this matter anymore.

Most of his energy is focused on production in his own factory...... After a while, there will be a holiday, and I will try to stock up on more goods before the year.

Just a few days after entering the lunar month, he received a call from Ren Changhua.

On the phone, the other party seemed very flustered.

"Brother Wang, X melon seeds suddenly advertised on our provincial TV station, and then implemented prize sales. The prize is much bigger than the 'Six Squirrels'. The first prize is directly rewarded with a car, the second prize is a motorcycle, and the third prize is a color TV...... Does the factory need to follow up? ”

Ren Changhua has been an agent of six squirrels for less than a year, and with the help of Qin'an's favorable transportation hub status, he has made a lot of money.

In addition, he just signed a contract with Wang Manyin some time ago and set a three-year agency contract.

In a sense, Ren Changhua and the six squirrels have been tied together, and naturally hope that the six squirrels can dominate the market.

Some time ago, there were almost no X melon seeds for sale on the market.

I didn't expect to make a comeback near the Chinese New Year, and there would be such a big battle.

"Changhua, don't mess with yourself." For such a situation, Wang Manyin had expected it, so he seemed very indifferent.

"Let me ask you a simple question, who are the main consumers of the six squirrels?"

"More than half of them are students......" Ren Changhua replied without hesitation.

Although Six Squirrels is also very popular in the market, the main consumer group is still students. In order to be able to draw rare cards, some children basically use change to buy melon seeds. In addition, the book "Six Squirrels Brain Teaser" is also mostly purchased by students.

"That's right, for elementary school students, the lottery to get a small car and a big color TV is far from a rare card fragrance. So as long as we stabilize the basic plate of students, we are not afraid of X seeds and melon seeds, but the sales were not so hot a year ago......"

Wang Manyin analyzed the other party in detail.

He had the impression that the prize sales of X melon seeds made too much noise this time, and was finally stopped by the above. Then dealers around the country could not sell the melon seeds, and they asked the manufacturers to return them, which led to the disrupted position of the melon seed king.

Coupled with the fact that the originally promised prizes could not be fulfilled, the melon seed king was finally sued in court, causing huge losses to the company.

However, Wang Manyin did not blindly believe in memory, and also made a response plan.

If the sales of melon seeds in the factory continue to decline next year, he will also follow up on the lottery. It's nothing more than burning money for the market, and I have a greater cost advantage, so I'm really not afraid of the other party's trick.

Soon, other dealers also saw the relevant advertisements and called to inquire.

Wang Manyin could only take similar words to appease.

At home at night, he saw the specific advertising information broadcast on TV: for every 1 catty of X melon seeds that consumers buy, they can get 1 lottery ticket if they increase the price by 1 cent. The campaign starts on February 5 and ends on May 1, with the open draw on May 10.

As for the prizes set, there is no difference from what Ren Changhua said.

After thinking about it again, Wang Manyin still decided not to follow up for the time being.

However, he rushed to the printing house by car the next day and asked the other party to urgently print ten new character cards.

After doing these measures, Wang Manyin began to prepare gifts for the New Year for the workers.

Ordinary workers were given a bonus of 20 yuan each, and he found someone to kill his big fat pig. Two catties of meat per person, plus a New Year's roasted goods gift package.

As for Mao Dan and Guo Weidong, Wang Manyin privately gave each of them a bonus of 1,000 yuan.

If you make money this year, you naturally can't treat the heroes badly.

With such a big spend, even Guo Chaowang was tempted. When Wang Manyin came to deliver New Year's goods a few years ago, the old man even said that he wanted his youngest son to go to work in the factory.

With the relationship between the two families, Wang Manyin agreed.

In everyone's expectation, the Spring Festival has finally arrived.

Wang Manyin's family hasn't changed much, it's just to buy more beef and mutton and fry more meatballs. For a family, eating and drinking well is no longer a problem.

What Wang Manyin didn't expect was that after the Chinese New Year, the lottery of X seeds and melon seeds became more and more popular, and even other brands followed up.

Now the roasted melon seeds are no longer a simple commodity, but a lottery ticket leading to the jackpot. As for the quality of the roasted melon seeds and whether they are moldy and spoiled, many people don't care anymore.

Not only has the melon seed industry set off a boom in prize sales, but even many shopping malls have begun to engage in it.

Wang Manyin kept receiving calls from dealers, hoping that the six squirrels would follow up quickly. However, just a few days after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the trend of prize sales was slammed on the brakes.

The above is officially announced, prohibiting all prize sales.

For a time, there were chicken feathers all over the ground.

However, Wang Manyin's fried goods have not been greatly affected, and even the sales volume has continued to increase on the original basis.

All this is mainly thanks to gacha and comic books.

So far, the total sales of the first and second volumes of "Six Squirrels Brain Teaser" have reached 400,000 copies, forming a huge publicity effect.

When "Six Squirrels: Forest Guards" debuted, it was not surprising that it caused another wave of craze.

Because as early as the beginning of painting, Wang Manyin set a principle, the content must be humorous. And after the painting, he deliberately asked the broken babies in the village to look at each other, and got unanimous praise.

In just two months, the first printing of 200,000 copies is about to be sold out. The publisher called and printed another 100,000 copies.

At the same time, Orchid set out to begin drawing the second volume.

The new comic book sold well and also attracted the attention of Qin Provincial TV Station. They took the initiative to contact Wang Manyin and proposed to jointly shoot an animated film "Six Squirrels: Forest Guards".

The two sides hit it off, because this itself was Wang Manyin's plan.

Similarly, he clearly stipulated in the contract that the image of the six squirrels belonged to him, and the TV station could only use it for cartoon promotion.

However, the production cycle of animation is too long, and it will definitely not be seen this year.

Although Wang Manyin deliberately slowed down the pace of development, with the hot sale of "Six Squirrels Brain Teaser", more and more southern dealers rushed to buy goods.

Other roasting factories also began to experiment with gacha sales, but this did not affect the six squirrels too much.

By the end of 85 years, the total number of employees in the factory exceeded 300, and the number of roasted seeds sold every day had reached 80,000 catties. The annual turnover exceeded 40 million, and the tax paid alone was one million yuan.

The six squirrel melon seeds have officially entered a period of stable development.

Wang Manyin felt that as long as he didn't make any trouble, he would let the factory develop steadily. Twenty years later, there is definitely a place for the six squirrels in the roasting industry.

There's one more chapter to end tomorrow.
