Chapter 285: A few cents is enough!
The calmer the words, the more powerful the shock.
In the afternoon, the children's words 'this is a domestic animal raised by the teachers' and Li Sixin's words 'The children in the mountains are energetic, and a two-kilometer journey is nothing to them' have been haunting Xu An's mind, repeatedly.
After tossing and turning for a long time, Xu An finally sighed, tiptoed open the quilt, left the warm bed, put on his coat and walked out of the room.
As soon as he came out of the room, his eyes swept to the balcony leaning on a figure, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that this figure was Xu Heping.
"Why don't you sleep so late and stand here in a daze?" Xu An tightened his clothes, walked to Xu Heping's side, and stood with him.
"Can't sleep" Xu Heping glanced at Xu An: "Are you up at night?" β
"It's not." Xu An shook his head and said with a smile: "Like you, I can't sleep." β
After this sentence ended, the two fell into a long silence, quietly looking at the bright moon in the sky, watching the fairy clouds and mist cover the moon little by little, and leave little by little, and finally there was still only that bright moon in the sky.
"I talked to those children about going to school today, do you know why Secretary Li didn't answer about the admission rate of your school?" Xu Heping's voice was very soft, deep, and muffled, which was very inconsistent with his image of the child king in the past.
"Well, what do those kids say?"
"Most of the people in Hezibao only go to school at the age of eight, and the parents don't pray that they can succeed in their studies, they just hope that they can be literate, and they can go to school at the age of eight without being a blind stream in the future, and they will be fourteen years old in six years, and they will be a little adult. Most of them are taken by their parents to work at construction sites and factories to earn money, and a few stay at home to do farm work, and very few can go on to junior high school."
Xu Heping suddenly turned his head to look at Xu An as he spoke, revealing a meaningful expression.
"There are usually about 100 sixth-graders in this elementary school, guess how many of these 100 people can go on to junior high school?"
Through Xu Heping's tone and expression, it is not difficult to analyze that this number is definitely a bit outrageous, otherwise he would not have asked such a question.
"Nine?"
"It's not." Xu Heping shook his head.
"Seven?"
"It's not." Xu Heping shook his head again, and then revealed the mystery: "Three, only three out of a hundred people can study in junior high school." β
"But isn't there nine years of compulsory education?" Xu An was dumbfounded when he heard these numbers, and even raised a guess: "Could it be."
"The policy has been thoroughly implemented, but what is stopping them from going to school is not the tuition fee, but the living expenses?"
"Living expenses?" Xu An muttered the word repeated.
This Li Sixin once said that he almost dropped out of school because of this living expenses at that time. It's been almost a decade, and this roadblock still exists.
"The accommodation fee for a semester is 100, the food fee for a month is about 15 yuan, and for five months in a semester, the living expenses add up to nearly 1,000 yuan, which is 2,000 yuan a year."
The average annual income in this village is only more than 10,000 yuan, and a child will spend 2,000 a year just to study, but a family here usually has more than two children, and the age difference is basically only one or two years old
Xu An thoroughly understood Li Sixin's silence when facing his own problems, unless people's income can be raised, otherwise this is an unsolvable matter.
Heyββββ
"When I listened to them, I felt the urge to pull them along, but." Xu Heping sighed leisurely and did not continue.
"Aren't you helping them now?" Xu An patted Xu Heping on the shoulder: "Help them find a way out of the crops they harvest, exchange agricultural products for real money, and when they have money, their lives will slowly get better, and these things will slowly change." β
Without waiting for Xu Heping to answer, Xu An continued to speak.
"Acquisition personnel need to be stationed here for a long time, not to mention, at least three or five months a year, they need to work here, and they can't live here every time they come over. There is also the sorting and packing site I saw yesterday, it is not cold now, and after more than half a month, it will snow, and the weather will be cold and frozen at all, and it will not work at all, plus the follow-up shabu-shabu."
"Hmm" Xu Heping looked at Xu An steadily, waiting for his next step.
"I thought, why don't we just lease a piece of land here and build a small factory. At that time, the warehouse, the dormitory, and the workshop will all be alive. The rental fee here should not be expensive, the labor is also cheap, and there is no need to purchase any equipment, and it should be done with 100,000 yuan. β
"Are you planning to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with Hezibao?"
"Hmm." Xu An nodded: "Late Tang Wen exported and sorted out the sales data of Hezibao's agricultural specialties and sent it to me, the data is very good, it is also a good income for us, and long-term cooperation is also a mutually beneficial thing." β
"That's good." Listening to Xu An's words, Xu Heping felt that the big stone in his heart had become smaller and looser, but the next second he seemed to think of something, and asked, "Is the candidate for the acquisition personnel decided?" β
"Not yet, look for it slowly after you go back, it is estimated that it is not easy to find, and I will have to trouble you to help me look over here during this time."
"What do you think of me?" Xu Heping interrupted Xu An's words and said.
"What's going on." Xu An suddenly reacted halfway through speaking, and said in surprise: "You mean, you want to stay here as a resident buyer?" β
"yes, don't you think I'm a good fit?" One reason after another came out of Xu Heping's mouth: "First of all, I am the person you can trust, you don't have to worry about this job if you leave it to me; Secondly, I have been familiar with the children here these days, and you also know that the children will not hide anything, and if there is any change here, I can also know in time; Finally, I really like it."
"You're here, what are you going to do with the more than ten fish ponds in your house?"
"Aren't my parents still there, and ah, now that the village is engaged in tidal flat farming, my parents are also considering whether to change the fish pond and concentrate on following the village."
"No matter how fast it is, we have to wait until next year, it's October this year, it's too late, right?"
"That's not, the second grandfather has been planned, just three months before the Chinese New Year shrimp breeding for everyone to practice, my parents were invited as instructors, and now I have to see the seedlings, and so the tidal flats are leveled, the equipment is installed directly stocking, if it goes well, it can just catch up with a batch during the New Year, so that everyone can see the money!"
"Why didn't you listen to the second grandfather and them about this?"
"It's still discussing, if it weren't for the door to find my parents, I wouldn't have known."
"Oh that's it." Xu An nodded and patted Xu Heping's shoulder again: "You better discuss it with your family first, after all, the conditions here are still relatively difficult, it doesn't matter if you come here once in a while, it's not good to be here for three or five months." β
Xu Heping wanted to say something, Li Sixin's door squeaked open, Li Sixin rubbed his eyes and walked towards the stairs, only took two steps to see Xu An and the two staring at him, and was immediately startled.
"Boss Xu, it's so late, why are you all standing here, it scares me a lot!" Li Sixin gently patted the heart that was beating wildly, and asked curiously.
"I got up at night, Secretary Li, you also go to the toilet, let's go together!"
Xu An immediately pulled Xu Heping, followed Li Sixin, and the three of them went to the toilet together and came back together, and after coming back, they each returned to their respective rooms, and the night was quiet.
Xu An, who returned to the room, still didn't feel sleepy, so he simply sat down at the table, took out a notebook and pen, and began to calculate.
After walking down in these two days, you can see that the crops produced by the village here in Hezibao are quite rich, potatoes and peanuts are common crops, such as prickly pear, crisp plum, pear, grapes and other cash crops
It's just that in this way, so many crops and fruits are all placed in Xu's lo-mei Taobao store, and if it is still in existence for a long time, it is inevitable that there will be some priorities, and it is best to build another Taobao store specifically for selling the harvest here in Hezibao.
After recording this idea in his notebook, Xu An took out his mobile phone and looked at this type of Taobao store.
At this stage, Taobao has not yet launched the main picture video function, and the idea of putting some attractive farmland photos or food on the homepage cannot be realized for the time being; The details page can be inserted into the video, and after Lu Shengnan has set up a shooting team, he can shoot a three- to five-minute promotional video and put it on.
Flipping through shop after store, difficulties slowly rising as the action was repeated.
Ahaββββ
Xu An yawned while operating the mobile phone to exit the Taobao page, but because of the yawn, the action was wrong, clicked into a product page, and also entered the product detail page.
Well?
A red heart sign caught Xu An's attention.
[Public welfare baby: Each transaction will donate 0.02 yuan for the rescue of hearing-impaired children, and a total of 6 donations have been made. γ
Charity baby? What is this thing?
The sleepiness that had just sprung up suddenly dissipated a little, and Xu An switched the page to the browser search page, typed in 'public welfare baby' and searched for it.
[This is a public welfare program launched by Taobao in 2006, and it is up to the store to decide whether to participate, the amount of donation after each order is closed, etc. γ
In 2011, a total of 214,000 sellers participated in the public welfare project, donating a total of 8.144 million yuan, and 109 million donations helped nearly one million people.
At present, the total number of daily orders in Xu's Lo Mei Shop is about 3,000-5,000 copies, take the lowest number to calculate, a product donation of two cents, a day is 60 yuan, a month is 1800 yuan, enough to pay for a student in Hezibao to study in a school year junior high school. That's 12 people a year
If you raise this donation to four cents, that's twenty-four!
Or, as Xu's Lo-mei or Hezibao agricultural products become more and more well-known and their sales are getting higher and higher, this looks like a donation of only two cents, which is a geometric exponential increase!
Looking at the data in his pen, a less complete but feasible plan came to his mind, and he quickly wrote line after line of text on the note with a pen in his hand
