The leisurely life of a reborn dad

"Who to sell to?" Cao Shujie hasn't considered this question yet.

He smiled and said: "Uncle Long, this is not an issue that should be considered now. We can't dare to try just because we can't sell it, right?"

"If that were the case, it would be a typical case of giving up eating due to choking."

Cao Jianlong pointed at him and laughed and scolded: "Good boy, you are pointing at my nose and scolding me in front of my face. Tell me, can you find sales?"

Cao Shujie said: "We must first grow good fruits, and subsequent sales will not be a problem."

"I know a few fruit sellers. They usually sell high-quality fruits, but they can also sell ordinary fruits. They have connections and a market."

Cao Shujie thought about Zuo Le and Nie Bin. In addition to these people, Cao Shujie also knew a few fruit wholesalers, who were mainly engaged in volume.

Over the past year or so, he has slowly accumulated a lot of connections.

Having said that, even if there are not these people, how will you know if you don’t try?

When Cao Shujie first started selling kiwis last year, he drove directly to the county, city, and even the provincial capital to deliver them for free.

Go to a crowded square and let everyone taste it for free!

Hearing what Cao Shujie said, Cao Jianlong asked: "Shujie, is it reliable? What if we collect it this year but not next year?"

"Uncle Long, it's natural for you to worry, but again, we can't stop eating fish just because they have bones, right?"

Cao Shujie spoke very forcefully now. He said, "It's the same sentence. How can you know if you don't try?"

"Besides, there are people growing kiwis in Caojiazhuang now. If you are worried that you won't be able to sell them, then just don't grow them." Cao Shujie said.

He saw what the problem was.

Cao Jianlong really wanted to do things, but he was too conservative, timid, and not courageous enough.

At this time, he has to be stronger.

What happened to the village party secretary?

"Uncle Long, let me put it bluntly, there is no such thing as a guaranteed profit without losing money, but if we try boldly, we will definitely be fine," Cao Shujie said.

Cao Zhengcun, Lu Ping and others looked at him. Cao Jianlong also looked at him. Cao Shujie looked at them and turned their eyes aside. He said: "You are all my elders. I express my gratitude." Personally, if the kiwis really can’t be sold, I’ll go to the market myself and find a good market for our Caojiazhuang products.”

"Bang!" Quality Assurance Director Cao Zhengcun slapped the table with his backhand. He said: "I have lived a long time, and I have become more and more timid as I live. I believe Shujie, what's the big deal?"

The newly appointed accountant Gao Changyin also nodded: "Cheng, I support you, Shujie, let's think carefully about what you want to do."

Cao Jianlong didn't say anything. He also took a pen and paper to record. This was considered a statement.

When Cao Shujie participated in the election, he really didn't want to earn a salary of several hundred yuan a month, nor did he want to be known as the village director.

He stretched out a finger and said: "First of all, we need to build a scale. Just like the small things we are doing in the village now, there is no scale in vain."

"So, our next step is to mobilize more people to plant kiwis and apples."

When Cao Shujie said this, he paused for a moment and continued: "In addition, we have to unify the varieties."

Hearing what he said, Cao Jianlong and Cao Zhengcun frowned slightly. They knew that the kiwi fruits currently planted in the village were not of the same variety.

This family grows one kind, and that family grows another variety.

"Shujie, is this important?" Cao Zhengcun asked.

Cao Shujie nodded heavily: "Grandpa Zhengcun, let me put it this way. Let's assume that after the kiwi fruit harvest is good, I find someone to buy it, or I go out to the market myself. Even if all the land in our village is planted with kiwi fruit, there won't be much yield. When the time comes, what will people think if there are three or four varieties for such a small amount?"

"In addition, unified large-scale planting also facilitates unified management, unified branding and unified sales in the later period."

Cao Shujie said three "unities" in one breath.

Cao Jianlong was a little confused. He subconsciously took out a cigarette and lit it, squinting his eyes and puffing out smoke: "Do you still want to build a brand?"

"Of course, we must be a whole to build a brand!" Cao Shujie said seriously.

He asked: "Uncle Long, Grandpa Zhengcun, Aunt Ping, and Uncle Yin, have you ever thought about why my orchard is so famous?"

"Didn't your wife make a video for you to promote it? I heard from my son that the video your wife made has been watched by many people on the Internet, millions of people!" The expression on Cao Zhengcun's face was particularly exaggerated.

When he first heard the news, he really couldn't accept it. Millions of people watched a video shot by Cao Shujie and his mother-in-law?

No matter how you think about it, it feels a bit fake!

When Cao Shujie heard what he said, he smiled and then asked, "Then how do they know about my orchard?"

"Isn't it in the video? It's called 'Mengmeng Orchard.'" Cao Zhengcun said directly as if rushing to answer.

After he finished speaking, Cao Jianlong was thoughtful.

Cao Shujie said: "Grandpa Zhengcun, you are right. Mengmeng Orchard is my brand."

"No matter whether it is on the Internet or in reality, as long as they look for Mengmeng Orchard, they will find me."

Listening to Cao Shujie repeatedly emphasizing this name, Cao Jianlong, Cao Zhengcun, Gao Changyin and Lu Ping all understood it this time.

"Shujie, what do you think our brand should be called?" Cao Jianlong asked.

But Cao Shujie waved his hand: "Uncle Long, there's no rush. Our top priority is to work with some people in the village to make them believe that growing kiwi fruit can make money. Next, we will implement large-scale management."

"If we can't do this, what brand can we talk about?" Cao Shujie said.

Several people nodded, and Cao Jianlong asked him again: "Shujie, what you just mentioned is the first step. Is there anything else?"

"Step 2, if there are people who are unwilling to grow kiwis, you can ask them if they want to breed them?" Cao Shujie held out two fingers.

"What should I raise?" Cao Zhengcun asked.

Cao Shujie said without thinking, "Raise cattle."

"I am familiar with this area, and it will be easy to do the market in the future." In this area, Cao Shujie was equally confident.

"Is there more?" Cao Jianlong asked him again.

Cao Shujie stretched out his third finger: "If someone doesn't want to grow kiwis or raise cattle, he can use his own land to grow pasture and sell the grass to people who raise cattle."

"I can say this, based on my current understanding, the profit of growing forage is definitely higher than the profit of growing corn and wheat now, and it is also easier to manage." Cao Shujie said.

"Shujie, please tell me more specifically." Gao Changyin remembered something and asked him: "What your parents grow in those fields is pasture, right?"

"That kind is alfalfa, which is also a kind of pasture. It is suitable for raising cattle. I grow it for my cattle to eat, but the amount is far from enough. If there are people in our village who are willing to grow pasture, then Just sell it to me directly." Cao Shujie said this.

But he also said: "If there is someone else who raises cattle and is willing to harvest the grass, it would be the same if I sold it to him."

"How much profit is there from this thing?" Cao Jianlong asked.

Gao Changyin has prepared pen and paper to record.

Cao Shujie talked about the costs and profits of growing alfalfa.

After hearing what he said, several people stopped talking. They always felt that what Cao Shujie said was a bit untrue.

The cost of planting alfalfa is only three to four hundred yuan, but according to Cao Shujie, the net profit per mu of land can be more than 1,500 yuan.

"Shujie, are you sure that growing this thing can be so profitable?" Cao Jianlong asked loudly.

Cao Shujie shook his head: "Not only this amount, but also state subsidies. All in all, the net profit from one acre of land is almost 2,000 yuan."

This is true. You don’t know if you don’t tell me. After Cao Shujie finished speaking, Cao Jianlong and the others realized that this thing was much more profitable than growing corn or wheat.

Under normal circumstances, ordinary people grow two crops of food per acre of land a year. After all costs are eliminated, they only lose money for one season, which is actually several hundred to one thousand.

But if what Cao Shujie said is really feasible, it would be much better than what they are doing now.

"Shujie, are there any more?" Cao Jianlong asked again.

Cao Shujie didn't say anything further this time.

He looked at Cao Jianlong seriously: "Uncle Long, I have already mentioned three plans. As long as these three plans are implemented well, the people in our village will definitely make more money than they do now."

"If these three relatively small risks cannot be implemented, no matter how much I say, it will be useless." Cao Shujie said this.

Cao Jianlong also realized that he was a little anxious.

Think carefully about the three plans proposed by Cao Shujie. Indeed, as he said, the risks are relatively small.

Because kiwi fruit is now grown in the village, if there are other new people planting it, at least in terms of experience, you can ask if you don’t understand.

As far as breeding is concerned, Cao Shujie is a large cattle farmer in Caojiazhuang. He has rich breeding experience. If you have any questions about this, go to him and ask him. You can also ask Cao Shujie for help.

As for the third option, planting forage, just like what Cao Shujie said just now, you can just sell the forage to him or to others.

With Cao Shujie here to take care of this, the risk is almost zero.

If you don't even dare to try these three methods, then it's really useless no matter how much you say.

"Secretary Jianlong, I think it's like this. Let's work separately. We must implement the items that Shujie just proposed."

"If there are picky kids who don't want to try it, don't worry about them, but vaccinate them in advance. When they see others getting rich, stop them from crying and making trouble." Cao Zhengcun said.

He is the security director of Caojiazhuang. In this area, he dares to think and act.

Cao Jianlong nodded: "That's it."

"By the way, Shujie, there is one more thing." Cao Jianlong suddenly stood up and said.

"Uncle Long, tell me." Cao Shujie was also puzzled.

Then I heard Cao Jianlong say: "What if someone has the courage to do it but has no money?"

"This is not difficult. As long as you have the guts to do it, you can go to the Yiling Rural Commercial Bank branch in the town and ask Manager Ma Changrong of the Credit Center for an interest-free loan for the economic development of rural areas and farmers." Cao Shujie said.

He suddenly remembered that Ma Changrong asked him if he needed money some time ago.

Cao Shujie wondered if he had solved a problem for Ma Changrong?

"I'll give Manager Ma a call later to let him know. If there are people like us in Caojiazhuang who come to apply for loans, please give me some accommodation." Cao Shujie thought to himself.
