Yili Food Factory Canteen.
Xiang Nan and Chunming made a meal and sat down to eat together.
Cabbage, tofu, stir-fried pork, and three steamed buns are quite filling.
At this moment, Cai Xiaoli happened to pass by carrying a lunch box.
Seeing this, Xiang Nan quickly poked Chunming and winked.
"Cai Xiaoli, let's sit together~" Chunming looked up and invited with a smile.
Cai Xiaoli hesitated for a moment, then sat down next to Chunming.
"Why do you just eat this~" Chunming couldn't help but asked in surprise when she saw that there were pickles and steamed buns in her lunch box.
Cai Xiaoli nodded awkwardly.
There are five sisters in their family, except for her and the eldest sister, none of them have a job. For a family of six, relying on two people's wages, life is certainly tight.
In addition, her father was ill and owed a lot of debt, so she could only live frugally. Unlike Xiang Nan and Chunming, who had extra money in addition to their salary, everyone in the factory knew that they made money.
Xiang Nan silently pushed the fried pork in front of Cai Xiaoli.
Cai Xiaoli was stunned for a moment, with a flash of hesitation on her face, and then asked, "Chunming and Jianjun, I know you are both smart and can make extra money. Can you help me think of a way? I also want to make money."
Her family now has a foreign debt of more than 200 yuan. It doesn't sound like much, but it is almost crushing her family, so she is eager to make money.
And she was originally prejudiced against Xiang Nan. I think he is always in chaos and always gives up, loves the new and forgets the old, and is not a good person. However, after these two months of getting along, she felt that Xiang Nan was not that bad.
He works conscientiously and responsibly, is diligent and capable, and manages the relationship between superiors and subordinates well. In particular, he is smart and repairs second-hand cars by himself and sells them, and it is said that he makes a lot of money.
Because of this, she gradually changed her view of Xiang Nan. Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to eat at the same table with him today.
…
"To be honest, I have a way." Upon hearing this, Xiang Nan said with a smile, "It's very profitable."
"What method?" Cai Xiaoli asked curiously.
"I heard that our factory charges 50 cents per catty for eggs, while eggs in the countryside only cost 35 cents per catty." Xiang Nan explained, "There is a price difference of 15 cents per catty for eggs. If we go to the countryside to collect eggs, If you pour a few hundred or a few thousand kilograms into the factory, wouldn't you make a fortune?"
When Han Chunming and Cai Xiaoli heard this, their eyes lit up and they nodded excitedly.
"Really, that's great. Then let's go to the countryside to collect eggs on the weekend." Chunming nodded immediately.
"Yeah." Xiang Nan also nodded.
"Hey, no, I don't have the capital." The excitement on Cai Xiaoli's face faded, and she waved her hands in embarrassment.
It is possible to make money by flipping eggs, but several thousand kilograms of eggs cost hundreds of dollars. With so much money, where would she raise it? !
"Don't worry, I'll put the capital down for you, and when you make money, you can pay me back." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
"No, then you are at a huge disadvantage." Cai Xiaoli waved her hand.
He has such a good plan to make a fortune, so it would be great if he would take her along. She wanted to borrow even the capital. That doesn't mean getting something for nothing.
"In that case, the first time you go, just treat it as a helper, and we will share your wages later." Xiang Nan thought for a moment and said, "In addition, flipping eggs is also suspected of speculation, and it is inappropriate for the three of us to come forward. Find someone at your home If you come out personally, you will get a share of the shares when the time comes."
At this stage, materials are purchased and sold by the state. Private transfer of materials, even if it is speculation, is strictly prohibited.
For example, in "Chicken Feathers Flying to the Sky", Yiwu businessmen will be arrested if they go around the streets and exchange chicken feathers for sugar.
Therefore, there is a certain danger in this matter. In the play, Cheng Jianjun reported Chunming, causing him to be fired from the factory.
Xiang Nan naturally wouldn't report it, but he couldn't help but make others jealous.
Once reported, it will be troublesome.
Upon hearing this, Cai Xiaoli thought about it carefully, and then nodded.
Her three younger sisters are all in school now. If they come forward to do this, they can get an extra share of the money. Even if something happens, how can a student handle it if he is not yet a minor?
…
After the plan was drawn up, on weekends, Xiang Nan, Chunming and Cai Xiaoli took the factory's jeep to collect eggs from Xiaoqinghe, where they had jumped the queue.
On the one hand, they have been there for two years and are familiar with the situation in the village, so they are more confident in collecting eggs; on the other hand, Xiang Nan is also planning to set up a point in Xiaoqinghe, where the villagers will collect the eggs and then transport them to the city.
This way, they don't have to travel back and forth. Although multiple middlemen will share part of the profits. However, it will also save a lot of trouble.
When Han Chunming and Cai Xiaoli heard Xiang Nan's idea, they both thought it was a good idea. Strongly Agree.
"Jianjun, why are you so smart?" Han Chunming said with a smile.
Cai Xiaoli felt that Xiang Nan was far-sighted and thought of everything in front of them.
After Xiang Nan and the others entered the village, they first went to see Yang Youping, the party branch secretary of Xiaoqinghe.
Secretary Yang was a little surprised to see the three people coming back. I heard that the three of them entered the food factory and came back to purchase eggs. They were very excited.
"Okay, Jianjun, Chunming, and Xiaoli, you are really good. You have returned to the city, and you still want to come back for a visit. Good!!" He praised with a smile.
In the 1970s, Fangshan was still a poor place, and he could not make much money a year from farming.
When Cheng Jianjun, Han Chunming, and Cai Xiaoli joined the queue here, the food they harvested every year was not enough to eat, and they had to rely on financial support from their parents in the city.
Sideline businesses such as eggs, duck eggs, and pigs have become important sources of income for farmers. The money to buy needles, thread, grains, oils, seasonings, books, paper and pens all comes from selling them.
Generally speaking, villagers sell their eggs to supply and marketing cooperatives, and the price is about 32 to 35 cents per catty.
Xiang Nan and others planned to raise the purchase price by one cent, setting it at 36 cents. This is already very tempting to the people.
Therefore, the villagers who received the news quickly rushed to sell their eggs.
In one morning, Xiang Nan and others collected more than 800 kilograms.
In the afternoon, they planned to visit nearby villages to try to collect two thousand kilograms.
…
At noon, the three of them had dinner at Secretary Yang's house.
Pancake stall with eggs, millet and mung bean porridge.
"Secretary Yang, thanks to you, otherwise we wouldn't be able to collect the eggs so quickly." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
"Jianjun, don't say that. I should thank you." Secretary Yang waved his hand and said, "Instead of you collecting them, we villagers have to take the eggs to the countryside to sell. Not only do we have to walk a long way, but the price is not as good as yours. Give high.”
Xiang Nan nodded, "Secretary, I have an idea. In the future, you can help us collect eggs in the village. Once you save three or four hundred catties, you can transport them to the city. We will collect them for 40 cents. This will increase your income and save us trouble." ."
"That's... okay." Yang Youping nodded.
He knew that by doing so, he might be speculating and make a mistake. But having said that, Xiaoqinghe is really poor. They can even quarrel over a piece of cow dung.
If you really transport the eggs into the city, you can sell them for four cents more. Five hundred kilograms can be sold for twenty yuan more, which is equivalent to a rural woman's one year's work points.
This risk is worth taking.
"Then it's settled." Xiang Nan nodded and smiled.
