The leisurely life of a reborn dad

At 18.5 yuan per pound, the price is okay.

The Chinese New Year is less than 20 days away, and Cao Shujie is considering selling the cows and focusing on other things.

We still have to prepare New Year's goods, and there are still poor households in the village who need to visit and express condolences.

A few years ago, I had to go to my father-in-law’s house and my uncle’s house for a walk.

He didn't have many relatives to begin with, but Cao Shujie cherished them even more.

After telling his wife, Cheng Xiaolin told him: "Shujie, my mother called me and said that she sold all the five big cows at home. Guess how much they sold for in total?"

Cao Shujie thought for a moment, stretched out two fingers and crossed them into a cross shape: "Do you have 100,000?"

Cheng Xiaolin pursed her lips and glanced at him sideways, feeling very bored: "Your guess is quite accurate. My mother said the total price was 96,400 yuan, which is less than 100,000 yuan less than 3,600 yuan."

"Shujie, my father and my mother are both very happy. My mother said that she has saved 90,000."

Speaking of excitement, Cheng Xiaolin couldn't hide the secret and continued to tell him: "My mother also said that when we go there for the New Year, she will return the 30,000 yuan to us."

Cao Shujie didn't think about it and asked his wife: "What's 30,000 yuan?"

"It's the 20,000 yuan my dad used to buy the cow, plus the 10,000 yuan you gave my mother when she came back from Xinjiang last time. It's exactly 30,000 yuan." Cheng Xiaolin explained to him.

"Oh, you said that money, oh my gosh, I forgot about it." Cao Shujie waved his hand: "Honey, please call our mother quickly and let them keep the flowers for themselves."

Cao Shujie didn't expect that the old couple would still remember this incident.

But Cheng Xiaolin shook her head: "Shujie, it's not like you don't know my mother's temper. She will definitely give you this money."

After hearing what his wife said, Cao Shujie thought of his mother-in-law's stubborn temper and said nothing else.

"Wife, I think we will sell 135 cows this year, butcher the remaining one and keep the meat for myself. What do you think?" Cao Shujie asked his wife.

Cheng Xiaolin has no objection to this.

Selling one more head would only bring in an extra 20,000 yuan, which was nothing to Cao Shujie.

Cheng Xiaolin also said: "You can kill one and keep it for yourself. Give some to relatives at home, and those who work for our family can also use it as welfare. Everyone can share a little bit."

"Yes!" Cao Shujie nodded, that's what he thought about.

On the 12th day of the twelfth lunar month, with less than half a month left before the Spring Festival, Wang Leigang and four others came to pull cattle.

After a whole day of work, all 135 cows passed the finishing scale.

The total gross weight is 194,049 kilograms. According to the price they agreed on before, it is 18.5 yuan per kilogram, totaling 3,589,906.5 yuan.

That's a lot of money for anyone.

The moment he received the money, Cao Shujie looked at the three people except Wang Leigang with admiration. Unexpectedly, they also kept their secrets secret. In comparison, Wang Leigang was the coolest one among them.

They took away 135 big cows. When Wang Leigang saw that Cao Shujie had one big cow left, he also asked Cao Shujie, if you don't sell it together, why do you keep it?

Then I heard Cao Shujie say: "It's not the Chinese New Year soon, so I'll keep it and kill it for myself."

The four people were very convinced at that time.

They buy it back and process it in various ways, then sell it at a higher price, or sell it in beef gift boxes.

But people like Cao Shujie, who keeps a cow worth more than 20,000 yuan to eat for himself, are the real ruthless characters.

After finishing this matter, Cao Shujie also called Cui Jingguo and learned that his side would not be able to get the more than 200 calves together before the year. Cao Shujie did not force him and asked him to just send them over after the year.

When he was about to hang up the phone, Cao Shujie finally said the more, the merrier.

After selling the cattle, he took time to go to town to process the last batch of apples.

At this time, other things had nothing to do with him, and he was too lazy to deal with them.

As the Spring Festival approaches, the Taobao platform's traffic support for the 2012 Goods Festival is also increasing. Now all 54 of them feel a little overwhelmed.

"Shujie, we need to find someone to come over, otherwise we will be too busy." Cheng Xiaolin said to her husband.

Cao Shujie also knows that manpower is very tight now, and the daily shipment volume continues to increase. There are more elderly people and women on his side. In itself, doing his job with a certain amount of physical labor is more efficient than Not as good as men.

Xinjiang Changji no longer delivers goods here, so Cao Shujie only needs to worry about selling and shipping the current inventory.

In the afternoon of that day, he went to the town and temporarily found 10 people to work for him, with a daily salary of 80 yuan.

When the time entered the 15th day of the twelfth lunar month, Cao Shujie did not even return home and lived directly in the factory warehouse.

He also signed a supply contract with a fast-food restaurant in town.

The steamed buns, fried buns, fried dough sticks and egg soup they make are given priority to Cao Shujie. They have three meals a day, breakfast, lunch and dinner, making every effort to ensure that the workers have no worries about eating.

This can't be done otherwise. The sales volume in the store is huge, so Cao Shujie must find a way to save every minute.

That's it, working until the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, Cao Shujie looked at the apple inventory that was almost empty and felt relieved.

The result was better than he expected.

But Cao Shujie knew. This improvement in efficiency was largely due to the traffic diversion from the Taobao platform.

Seeing the inventory decrease, Cao Shujie also set inventory limits in his stores on Taobao platform.

He has to do this. If the inventory is really sold out and there are still customers who continue to place orders, where will he go to buy Apple?

On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, more than 60 people watched the last box of apples being loaded into the truck and sent out. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Especially for Cao Shuju and the first 24 people, this wave of making money is truly a matter of money rather than life.

Song Huixia, who joined later, and Cao Shulin, all felt physically and mentally exhausted after continuous high-intensity work.

At this time, they didn't think about how much money they earned or how much bonus they could get during the New Year. What they thought about was having a good meal and a good sleep.

Waiting for the 28th of the twelfth lunar month to catch the last big gathering and prepare things for the New Year.

I have been busy making money during this period, and I haven’t prepared the New Year’s goods for my family yet.

"Everyone, please clean up the warehouse first. The boss will hold a meeting for us later." Cao Shuju shouted to everyone.

As soon as he finished speaking, more than 60 people at the scene went to work together.

Among these people was Cao Huifang, who worked for 17 days without a day off after returning from the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month.

This was the first time she had experienced this kind of physical strength in her life. To put it bluntly, she really didn’t want to do it a second time.

But when she saw everyone going to clean, she was too embarrassed to watch, so she went to work with a broom.

Cao Shujie returned to the small office in the workshop warehouse, sat on a chair, and looked at the reports compiled by his wife. He could not calm down for a long time.

He listened to Liu Furong's suggestion at the time. When he first started doing this, he didn't expect that it would become as large as it is now.

At that time, he thought that he would be done with selling the more than 800 tons of apples purchased from Adilijiang.

But no one expected that the video the couple took would attract so much traffic to their fruit shop.

As a last resort, Adili Jiang was asked to help them contact 2,118 tons of apples from Xinjiang Changji, but who knew that there would still not be enough to sell.

From the beginning of November to now, in less than three months, Cao Shujie has sold a total of 5,371 tons of apples through various business methods such as online sales, sub-distributor distribution, and bulk purchasing for welfare benefits of enterprises and institutions.

The total sales revenue is 55.8287 million yuan.

The total purchase cost of these apples was 25.9411 million yuan.

Cao Shujie looked at the remaining gross profit margin of nearly 30 million yuan after deducting procurement costs, labor costs, packaging costs and other expenses.

However, this is not the final profit, and the consignment fee, express fee and the tax to be paid have not been removed.

Even so, Cao Shujie estimates that the remaining profit he can make is more than 20 million.

"My dear, he earns nearly 10 million a month." Cao Shujie had one thought now. He also wanted to ask Liu Furong if there was anything else he could do.

"Huh? I have to send some fruit to Lao Liu." Cao Shujie thought.

"In addition, the money from the bank should also be paid off." Cao Shujie thought to himself.

I always feel uncomfortable during the New Year when I have bills hanging over me.

But he called Ma Changrong and just told him that he wanted to pay back all the loans.

Ma Changrong directly told him that the bank was on holiday and he wanted to repay the loan after the year.

"Are you so confident about me?" Cao Shujie was also speechless and didn't know what to say.

Since Ma Changrong is not in a hurry to ask for it, Cao Shujie is not in a hurry to give it to him and will wait until the next year.

Just as he was thinking about meeting Liu Furong later and treating him to a meal, his wife came in and said, "Shujie, everyone has finished their work, don't you have a meeting?"

Cao Shujie nodded: "I'll be there right away."

When he came out of the small office, he saw a total of 63 people waiting in line.

Seeing Cao Shujie coming, everyone became quiet and looked at Cao Shujie one by one, wondering what he wanted to say.

"Are you tired?" Cao Shujie asked.

This opening was something no one expected.

But because of these words, the atmosphere at the scene relaxed.

Everyone's mood became lighter, and some people shouted: "Tired!"

The others said nothing.

But Cao Shujie responded: "That's right, don't say you are tired, I am tired too, very tired."

"But I am really grateful to everyone here for their efforts over the past two months. Without you, we would not be able to create this miracle." Cao Shujie said.

"I know it is redundant to say anything else now." Cao Shujie said: "I announce that we will all go to Fuxing Hotel at noon tomorrow to have a celebration banquet."

Seeing someone wanting to refuse, Cao Shujie said directly: "It's okay to refuse, but don't want the year-end bonus."

Hearing what Cao Shujie said, everyone present burst into laughter.

"In addition to the year-end bonus, we will also give you a New Year's benefit tomorrow."

"The Spring Festival is only three days away. On this special day, I would like to wish you all a happy New Year in advance." Cao Shujie finished his words crisply.

Others were speechless after hearing this, and someone else asked: "Boss Cao, will we still sell apples next year?"

"It won't be certain next year. I'll have to take a look at it then." Cao Shujie said.

As soon as he finished speaking, many people present suddenly felt a little panicked.

They were used to working at Cao Shujie's place, working from morning to night, and receiving wages and performance bonuses at the end of each month.

It is indeed tiring, but the work is very fulfilling, especially when I get the salary, I feel very at ease.

Cao Shujie suddenly became uncertain, which made everyone feel unsure.

Even the joy of having a celebration banquet tomorrow and receiving the year-end bonus and holiday benefits is gone.

Even Cao Shuju, Song Huixia, Cao Shulin and other people in Caojiazhuang were a little panicked.

It's not easy to find a place where you can make stable money in the countryside these days.

Even Cao Shujie didn't expect that after he said those words, the atmosphere at the scene changed immediately.

But he was also very accomplished in his heart.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more depressing, he said, "You have to give me some time to contact the fruit farmers to purchase fruits, right?"

After finishing speaking, Cao Shujie pointed to the empty factory workshop warehouse and said: "You have sold out all the apples. If I don't buy fruits, will we sell air next year?"

"Also, we don't have to sell apples next year. We can also sell other fruits, okay?"

After hearing what Cao Shujie said, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

Some people were so overwhelmed with emotion that they even shed tears from the corners of their eyes.

Only then did they realize that their hearts were placed entirely on this factory, which might not look like much from the outside.

Because here is their hope.

"Okay, I won't say anything else. Let's go to the Fuxing Hotel in town for a quick bite. We will hold a celebration banquet tomorrow." Cao Shujie finally said.

Cao Shujie said he could just have two bites, but the price of the set meal he wanted was not low. The standard of 380 yuan per table was already comparable to the wedding banquet ordered by others when they got married. He couldn't imagine what he would eat at the celebration banquet tomorrow?

When Cao Shujie returned home at night, he didn't think about anything. After taking a bath, he lay on the bed and fell asleep.

On the morning of the second day, he took his four dogs, Daha, Erha, Dahei and Xiaohei, for a walk, and then came to the orchard on the mountain.

As soon as I came up, I saw Cao Shuchao cleaning.

"Shujie, you're done over there." Cao Shuchao asked.

"Well, I just finished my work yesterday. Brother Chao, are you okay here?" Cao Shujie asked.

Cao Shuchao shook his head: "Don't worry, nothing happens here."

"Brother Chao, you guys should tidy up, lock the door and go to the Fuxing Hotel in town for dinner at noon today." Cao Shujie told him.

Cao Shuchao asked him: "What do you want to eat again?"

"Isn't it the end of the year for us? Let's get together and get together."

"In addition, I will give you year-end bonuses and New Year benefits." Cao Shujie said this.

After hearing what he said, Cao Shuchao didn't say anything else. He understood that he could just follow the arrangements at this time.

However, Cao Shuchao is also curious about how many year-end bonuses he will receive during the Chinese New Year this year.

"It's better than last year's year-end bonus?" Cao Shuchao thought to himself.

I was given 1,000 yuan during the Chinese New Year last year.

What about this year?
