In the courtyard, everyone is afraid of the little boy who is so smart!

Some villagers were outspoken and said loudly:

"What? Are we opening another supply and marketing cooperative? Didn't we open one before? But it didn't work out at all. It closed down after a short period of operation. Why are we opening it now?"

Another villager echoed:

"Open it, open it. Anyway, I think it will be just like the last supply and marketing cooperative. It won't be open for long."

Zhao Shuzhuo noticed that everyone's enthusiasm for the new supply and marketing cooperative was very low, and everyone seemed very negative.

He was a little anxious and quickly turned around to look in the direction of Wang Jianguo, his eyes full of eager requests for help.

Wang Jianguo also happened to catch the look from Zhao Shuzhuo, and he knew in his heart that he had to do something to change the atmosphere.

So he cleared his throat, raised his voice and said to everyone:

"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment and listen to me. I know this very well because we had a supply and marketing cooperative before, but it failed."

"So now everyone has no hope for the new supply and marketing cooperative. However, the supply and marketing cooperative we are going to talk about today is completely different from what everyone imagines."

After Wang Jianguo said this, the villagers all focused their attention and looked at him, wanting to hear what was different.

Wang Jianguo saw this and continued to explain in detail:

"This supply and marketing cooperative is quite large. It's not like the previous one, which was just like a tiny store, with always something missing from the shelves."

"And this supply and marketing cooperative is a real supply and marketing cooperative. I plan to select four salespersons from our village, and they must be female comrades only."

"There is no requirement for education level, and it doesn't matter if you can't read, but you must be smart and hardworking."

"The monthly salary of this salesperson is about the same as that of the production team, about 15 yuan, and this salary will increase every year."

"Most importantly, the job of a salesperson is much easier than working in a production team."

"If you have a daughter or daughter-in-law at home, you can go to my cousin He Yushui to sign up after this meeting. This can be regarded as the first welfare for our village."

After hearing what Wang Jianguo said, the negative emotions on the villagers' faces disappeared all of a sudden, and were replaced by expressions of excitement.

They were all thinking in their hearts, they didn’t expect that this supply and marketing cooperative was so different from the previous one.

The previous supply and marketing cooperative was opened in another village next to the clinic. It was very small and did not have all the supplies.

That supply and marketing cooperative used to have only one person selling goods, and sometimes he was very idle. But now this supply and marketing cooperative needs four salesmen at once. This shows how big its scale is.

Seeing the happy expressions on the villagers' faces, Wang Jianguo felt relieved. He paused for a moment and then continued:

"Let me tell you about the second benefit."

As soon as he finished speaking, the villagers who had been chattering just now suddenly became silent.

Everyone listened attentively, not daring to blink, for fear of missing any important information.

Wang Jianguo continued:

"Many of our villagers have their own skills. Some villagers can make brooms, which are strong and easy to use."

"Some can weave baskets, and the baskets they weave are both beautiful and durable; others are good at catching fish, and their ability to catch fish is really great."

"But these skills are only used when needed at home. Most of the time, I don't have the opportunity to show them off. What a waste."

At this point, Wang Jianguo raised his voice slightly:

"So, I've made a decision. From now on, everyone can give away the baskets they weave, the brooms they make, and the fish they catch."

"Take them to the supply and marketing cooperatives to sell, and then you can exchange them for some things or money to supplement your family income."

When everyone heard the news, it was like a huge rock was thrown into a calm lake, and it immediately exploded.

They never thought that their daily skills could be used to make money.

Grandpa Huang in the village had doubts and surprise in his eyes, and couldn't help asking:

"Young man, can I exchange the brooms I made for money? Will the supply and marketing cooperative really accept them?"

As soon as Mr. Huang finished speaking, a young man of about seventeen or eighteen couldn't wait to speak.

He is Yu Daguang from the village. He and his brother Yu Xiaoguang’s biggest hobby is fishing and catching shrimps in the river. He asked excitedly:

"Can I sell the fish I catch in the river to the supply and marketing cooperative? Will the supply and marketing cooperative accept any fish?"

After hearing everyone's questions, Wang Jianguo raised his hands to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said to everyone seriously:

"Don't worry, as long as it's something you need in life, I will accept it if you bring it to the supply and marketing cooperative."

"But as for the specific price, we have to wait until the supply and marketing cooperative opens for business and draws up a price list with clear price tags. I will definitely not let anyone suffer a loss."

When the villagers heard the news, they were so excited that they could hardly control themselves.

They had been in a negative and listless mood just now, but now they seemed to be injected with infinite energy and became excited in an instant.

There was a gleam of anticipation in their eyes, as if they had already seen the lively scene after the supply and marketing cooperative opened, and they were all eager for the supply and marketing cooperative to open for business right now.

At this time, Zhao Shuzhuo's gaze turned to Wang Jianguo, his eyes full of admiration.

He never imagined that Wang Jianguo was so capable that he could completely reverse the villagers' negative emotions in such a short period of time and firmly control the situation.

Seeing that everyone was in high spirits, Zhao Shuzhuo thought this was a good opportunity, so he said to everyone:

"Everyone, listen carefully. Those who need to go to work should continue to work in a while."

"As for me, I need to pick a few people to go with me and Comrade Jianguo to clean up the old warehouse next to the commune."

"Our supply and marketing cooperative is going to be located there. This supply and marketing cooperative is related to the welfare of our village, so everyone should be more active."

He paused, then continued:

"If anyone wants to work at the supply and marketing cooperative, please come to my house after get off work and find Comrade He Yushui to sign up."

"Our supply and marketing cooperative needs a lot of manpower. Anyone who has ideas should not miss this opportunity."

After that, Zhao Shuzhuo began to point out people in the crowd:

"Erzhu, Erhua, Erhua's father, Brother Hai, the four of you follow me. Let's go and clean up that warehouse now."

"You know, the sooner we get the warehouse ready, the sooner our supply and marketing cooperative can be completed and opened. The sooner the supply and marketing cooperative opens, the sooner everyone can enjoy the benefits."

Erzhu, Erhua, Erhua's father and Hai Ge, who were called, showed proud and excited expressions on their faces when they heard that they were selected.

He immediately stood up and prepared to follow Zhao Shuzhuo and Wang Jianguo to clean up the warehouse.

The other villagers dispersed with full expectations, some continued to work, and some happily discussed the affairs of the supply and marketing cooperative.
