Chapter 11: The Plum Tree and the Pager
After eating, Zhao Qiwu wandered around the street, there is a high school in the town, and of course there is also a primary and junior high school.
Today all schools are in session, and the streets are full of students hanging out, or parents who are sending students in.
Zhao Qiwu, who has been in the fourth year of school in the town, is very familiar with the town, and walked a few steps to the town's agricultural machinery company, which is actually the point set up by the county agricultural machinery company in the town. The main ones sold are walk-behind tractors, and there are also some small machines that can be used on tractors, such as threshers and wheat cutters.
Zhao Qiwu looked at the door and squatted at the door with a staff member with glasses, and he was not embarrassed to go in by himself.
In fact, there is nothing to see, just a few walk-behind tractor engines, wheat cutters and threshers, and on the other side there are some spare parts on the counter, which can be seen at a glance at the door.
He stood at the door and asked cheekily: "Big brother, I want to inquire, if we are engaged in transportation, what is the right one to buy." My family used to buy a walk-behind tractor here, but it was too little to pull and too slow. ”
The skinny staff happened to be fine, or he wouldn't have squatted at the door to smoke, and when he saw someone asking, he chatted at the time, and said to him: "It depends on how much money your family has? What are you doing when you buy things? If you want to run long-distance transportation, I will definitely recommend a large truck, but that thing is expensive, even a small truck will cost tens of thousands, and most of them will hang hundreds of thousands." ”
"It's too expensive to afford. When Zhao Qiwu heard this, he immediately felt that he had a long way to go to earn money, and he was still too poor.
"Hehe!" Skinny Glasses laughed. "I just said, you don't want to buy what I sell, I don't have it, I don't have it in the county, I have to go to the city. First of all, what are you going to do in your family, do business or just run transportation, what is the main transportation? If you want to pull bricks, you can use a larger tractor. ”
"If you want to transport vegetables, you don't have to run far, it's better to be faster than a tractor. Zhao Qiwu thought about it and said.
"That's an agricultural tricycle, you can buy a similar one for seven or eight thousand, and a good one will cost tens of thousands. Skinny glasses introduced. "The kind of small truck of the car is not practical, in addition to being able to block the wind and rain, it is not more than a tricycle to pull goods, and the key is to get a license plate or something. The roads in our countryside are the best when they run on three wheels, and no one cares whether you are listed or not. ”
"Miwa I know. Zhao Qiwu said and asked. "Big brother, you said that if we buy it, what brand should we buy?"
"There are no other brands, just the wind and galloping horses. Skinny Glasses laughed. "There are other brands too, but they don't sell to us. If you want to buy it in our county, you can only buy Shifeng and galloping horses, good or bad, you don't have to choose. ”
"Which of these two brands is better?" Zhao Qiwu continued to ask with perseverance.
"It's all the same, you can buy anything. Skinny Glasses said. "It's the same thing as a tractor, you have to learn how to fix it yourself. At the beginning, there are only small problems, you learn to lay a foundation, and then there will be big problems later, and you continue to learn. In the future, even if you change the car, you are also a master, and you will know whether the car is good or not as soon as the engine sounds......"
Who knows, if I can think that far, I won't go to high school!
As soon as the thin glasses looked at Zhao Qiwu's expression, he understood that he was not interested in things that were too long-term, so he changed the topic with a smile: "I think you are still a student, right?
"No, I'm going to learn. Zhao Qiwu didn't dare to talk nonsense, he felt that the thin glasses of this agricultural machinery company might really know.
Skinny glasses became interested when he heard it: "Not yet, I'm just going to learn?" Come on, take it out and I'll teach you, I played the harmonica in college and won awards in school entertainment performances. ”
"You went to college and you still came here to sell machinery?" Zhao Qiwu didn't understand.
"What's wrong with going to college? I still studied agriculture, so I could only be assigned to the county agricultural machinery company, and then I was arranged here. Skinny Glasses smiled disapprovingly. "Come in and play for a while, there is tea and chairs in the house......"
It seems that this is an unsatisfactory thing, it is estimated that it doesn't matter if there is no backstage at home, the college student was actually assigned to this small broken town agricultural machinery company.
Zhao Qiwu thought in his heart, and he didn't know much about refusal, just because he also wanted to know more things, so he followed the thin glasses into the agricultural machinery company.
Unlike what he thought, there was no smell of engine oil here, and the indoor ventilation conditions were very good.
Skinny glasses are obviously boring, and when you meet someone, you pull in and talk about it. Originally, he came to teach the harmonica, but Zhao Qiwu didn't take it out, and he didn't mind, so he chatted with Zhao Qiwu's topic. 、
What Zhao Qiwu wants to talk about the most, of course, is to ask for advice on how to do business.
In the end, he went to school, and when people talk about business, they summarize it better than Zhao Qiwu: "You have to inquire more, and you can't just look at our surroundings, you have to look farther." If you have three wheels, it will run no worse than a car, and running around Lanwei City will not be a problem at all. ”
"I'll tell you about last year, and you will know how to do business as soon as you hear it. Last year, Xiaoyanghe had a bumper harvest of watermelons, and they were sold for a dime and a pound on the street, but in fact, they went to the field for wholesale, and it was only four to five cents. There are also green onions in the red tower shop, small peppers in Zhanggang, you have to remember these places, if you want to do business in this area, no matter when you go to the land to ask for a price, it is right. ”
"This is close, and there are far away, the mushroom fungus kiwi in Xishan County, the salvia in Sifang Gorge, the jade leaf tea in Shuilian County, the pepper pepper in Zhehe, etc., these are all famous specialties in various places. You can't just stare at the food, you have to look at something else. ”
"You see you have two legs now, if you don't have a bicycle, your range of motion is ten miles, with a bicycle, you can move to a radius of fifty miles or even a hundred miles, with a tricycle, your range of activity has to be expanded to two hundred miles away, otherwise I'm sorry for the money you paid for the car. ”
"If you want to do business, you have to watch the news. If you want to sell vegetables, you can read the local news, and when something is harvested, you can quickly run to ask the price, and you must be right. I see that you also farm at home, and you understand this as soon as I say it, don't you?"
Zhao Qiwu understands very well, and when he sees the harvest of crops and vegetables all over the land without farming, he thinks it must be a good thing.
Actually, not necessarily, because a good year may not necessarily lead to a good income. The radish and cabbage have a bumper harvest, and no one necessarily wants a few cents a pound, and the watermelon has a bumper harvest, and you have to beg the people who come to buy it for three or five cents to let the family collect it.
The cinnabar red peach in Xiaoyanghe Township in the west, that thing is not released, and it is good to sell it for one or two cents a pound in the ripe season.
The business that I do is what Thin Glasses said, selling the agricultural products of the harvest area to the land where there is a shortage of things. However, Skinny Glasses was wrong, he said that with a tricycle, the range of movement should be expanded to 200 miles, which is not right.
What I have is not a tricycle, but a cloud-driven fog, and it takes more than an hour to go to Western Xinjiang. Then the scope of one's own activities must be expanded to the whole country.
That's what buying a map is for.
And you can't just watch the local news, you have to watch the whole country.
Although he had a lot of ideas, Zhao Qiwu really admired the thin glasses, and said cheekily: "Big brother, you tell me so much, I don't know what your name is, can I often come to talk to you in the future?"
Skinny glasses smiled: "Come on, come on, I have a business card." I printed two boxes, but so far, I haven't sent out two. If you don't work by yourself for a period of time, you really don't know what it means to be down-to-earth and rooted in the countryside. ”
As soon as Zhao Qiwu saw the name on the business card, he was a little happy.
This big brother's name is Li Zishu, and his name is really down-to-earth. But...... Zhao Qiwu looked at it and asked: "Brother Li, I know the phone number on this, what is this string?"
"Oh, that's my pager number. Plum explained to him, and took down the little thing hanging from the belt and showed him it. "This is the pager, and I am a Hanxian, which is to be able to display Chinese characters. When you call, dial 126 on the phone, listen to the prompt, and leave a message, and I will receive it. You see, this is to see the information......"
Zhao Qiwu understood and had the courage to press it a few times, feeling that this thing was much taller than his watch.
And then he felt that this was too convenient. Although it was the first time I saw it, I liked it as soon as I saw him: "Brother Li, how much does this thing cost?"
"I bought this early, and when I bought it, I didn't include a service fee of more than 2,600 points. Li Zishu said with a smile. "It should be cheaper now, and if you don't have to, you can buy a cheaper one. ”
"It's so expensive, what brand, what is the service fee?" Zhao Qiwu smacked his tongue when he heard the price, just such a small pimple, more than two thousand?
"Motorola's brand, if you want to buy this, you will know it as soon as you talk about Motorola. "Plum Tree is quite patient. "The service fee is the service of the pager, and you can't receive information if you don't open it. How much depends on which pager you use, there are thirty and fifty-one months, and there are also more than two hundred and a month ......"
Moto I know, who is Lola?
But this service fee, it's really a pit! If you buy this thing for more than 2,000 yuan, you have to pay more than 350 to 200 fees a month?
Zhao Qiwu muttered in his heart, and his mouth was not slow: "I...... Let's think about tricycles first!"
He turned a little more urgently, which made Li Zishu laugh all of a sudden: "Yes, earn money first, and then enjoy." You still go to school, just understand these things, go to school first, learn knowledge and insight, and then you will naturally know how to make money, and with money, you don't need to learn to know how to enjoy ......"
Zhao Qiwuxin said, I know how to enjoy it now, now we eat braised noodles all start with half a catty, and we must also match chicken legs......
