The stupid big man lowered his head and muttered, "I was wrong—"

Guo Dalu stretched out his hand and patted the stupid big man on the shoulder gently: "Did I say that you were wrong?" Shalin, be careful, there is not enough straw, what does it have to do with our straw paper business?"

The stupid big man got Guo Dalu's encouragement, and finally mustered up the courage: "Let's make this straw paper, we want wood, bamboo, straw, lime and other objects, wood, bamboo can be cut from the back mountain, lime can also be burned by itself, that is, straw - there are not many people who grow rice in our village, and recently made straw paper, and have used up people's straw, I heard the third sister-in-law in the east of the village complain that her family's rice grassland is kept for winter cooking, we use up her family's straw, and we have to let men go up the mountain to collect firewood." I thought, we still want to continue making straw paper, and it's better to say that the other materials are just not enough for this straw. ”

It was the first time that Brother Hao knew that there was a shortage of raw materials in the straw paper workshop, and he said dissatisfiedly: "The third sister-in-law in the east of the village has long hair and short knowledge, so why don't you use some straw from her family, so she is stingy like this." Big deal, let's go to the neighboring village and ask for some without her family's straw. By the way, there are many families in Huandong Village and Lotus Village next door who grow rice, and they have a lot of straw there, so we can ask them for it. ”

Guo Dalu didn't care about Brother Hao, and smiled at the stupid: "Shalin, whoever dares to say that you are stupid in the future, you will beat him - you are the only one who can find that there is a shortage of straw raw materials, except for me." Here, bring this chocolate to your sister, don't let her eat it all in one bite, beware of tooth decay. ”

The stupid big man held the chocolate in his hand, he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, his courage suddenly became bigger, anyway, the chocolate was already in his hands, no matter what he said, even if he said it wrong, it was earned, he raised his head and said to Brother Hao: "Brother Hao, no, if we asked Huandong Village for some straw before, people would be willing to give it for nothing." But if we sell this straw paper for money, and then ask for straw from Huandong Village, people will not be happy. The people in Huandong Village are not stupid, why let us make money for nothing, they must ask us to use money to buy straw. ”

Brother Hao stayed on the spot, yes, no one is a fool in this world, why do I give you things for nothing, but you take my things to make money and make benefits? Before and after, the villagers of Houlong asked the villagers of Huandong Village for some straw, and they used it for their own fire, the quantity was not much, and they sent it when they sent it, but he was a "big rich man" who was determined to sell straw paper all over the world, and all the straw in the entire Huandong Village was not enough for his own use, how could people give it away in vain?

That will sell for money!

Brother Hao wrung his eyebrows: "Then let's spend money to buy it from Huandong Village! This thing of straw itself is not valuable, and a penny can buy a large bundle and make it into straw paper, we still have to make money!"

Guo Dalu didn't care about Brother Hao, and still looked at Sha Lin with encouraging eyes: "Silly big man, what do you think in your heart, just say it." ”

The stupid big man suddenly felt a wave of confidence in his heart, and he straightened his waist: "What if the people of Donghuan Village also plan to make straw paper and sell it for money? They will definitely not want to sell the straw to us at a low price." ”

Brother Hao shouted: "Donghuan Village makes its own straw paper?!How is this possible-" But his words stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say any more.

Guo Jin had been smiling and listening to the three children's arguments beside him, and then coughed lightly: "Brother Hao, this is not difficult to make straw paper, as long as those who have a heart go to our workshop to take a look, they will understand everything." You can't hide such a big straw paper workshop, right? What's more, it's useless to hide it, there are thousands of serious papermaking workshops in the world, and they know how to make paper, and straw paper is just a change of materials. People really want to fancy the straw paper business, the knowledgeable master take a few pieces of straw paper to see, you know what to use, maybe the children are experienced, the straw paper made is better than ours. ”

Brother Hao naturally understood this truth, and quickly cried and mourned: "Then can't we do this straw paper business? Alas, it was hard to find a business that could make money, and it was so yellow?"

Guo Dalu said with a smile: "The straw paper business is naturally still done." In fact, it is impossible for this business to be monopolized by a paper mill - well, a monopoly is a separate business. The reason is very simple, because the money made by straw paper is too small, a bundle of fifty pieces of straw paper will be sold for a penny, and the cost of manpower is removed, and the profit can be halved. If you want to transport this straw paper to a very long distance, the cost of eating and chewing horses along the way will not be enough. Therefore, this straw paper can only be sold nearby, and it is simply delusional to want to sell it all over the world. ”

Brother Hao blushed and lowered his head: "Yes, Brother Guo, I thought too simply." My father used to tell me the truth of marching and fighting, saying that the army did not move, and the grain and grass went first, but the transportation of grain and grass was extremely troublesome, but half of it was eaten by the people who transported the grain on the way, and many battles ended up with a big defeat, not because the soldiers in the front did not work hard, but because the grain and grass in the rear could not be transported in front of the army, and they were all hungry. I didn't expect that this small matter of selling straw paper would be related to such a militaristic event as marching and fighting. Our straw paper, at most in Yinxian County 10 towns and towns to sell, want to go further, the cost of this road will not be able to bear the energy, even if we Yin County three rivers confluence, can be transported by big ships, travel very far, but after all, straw paper is thin, how to calculate is not cost-effective. ”

Guo Dalu nodded: "Brother Hao, you can draw inferences, this is a good thing." In fact, you have to understand one thing, we are all ordinary people, if there is really any unique business to make money, it will definitely be targeted by the wealthy nobles, and when the time comes, it is still us who will suffer. It is better to do some profitable business, which is not noticeable, which is the long-term way. ”

Guo Dalu looked at Brother Hao and the stupid big brother were a little wilted, knowing that his words just now were a heavy blow to their "lofty ideal" of doing straw paper business, he just wanted to remind Brother Hao to do things with a comprehensive plan, and he didn't want to suppress them, Guo Dalu decided to give Brother Hao a little hope.

Guo Dalu cleared his throat: "Actually, doing business is very simple, nothing more than no one has me, and everyone has me." Don't look at this straw paper, but if you really work hard, you can still make a lot of doorways. For example, we can make straw paper bigger and thicker, and even make special straw paper bags, so that everyone can use straw paper to wrap and package things, I saw in the market, many people are wrapped in dried leaves, if there is special straw paper, isn't it more convenient to clean?"
