Chapter 551 New Ideas
Seeing Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao not talking, Liu Jingxue was secretly happy, it seemed that it was stable. But she couldn't relax yet, she had to keep working hard to completely dispel the two people's ideas.
"You know the current situation outside better than I do.
Yes, the Zheng family has fallen, but is the family behind you safe?
Can you guarantee that no one else is eyeing the Zhou and Zhao families, and no one is waiting to take responsibility for your mistakes?
I don't think so. With the status of your two families, there should be other people who want to replace you, besides the Zheng family. After all, who doesn't want to climb to a higher position?
Have you ever thought about how much trouble it would bring to your family if you did this in private and got caught?
You are not short of money, so why put yourself and your family in danger for a little profit? "
Liu Jingxue emphasized, "When you come here and see that Grandpa Wu and his family are living a good life, you won't be so naive as to think that all the people who were sent down to the countryside live the same life as them.
You are wrong, they are just exceptions.
They were lucky to come to the Red Star Production Team, where they met such good team leaders and villagers, and we were there to take care of them.
As for the lives of the other people who were sent down to the countryside, you won’t have to go to work anymore. You can go to the nearby production teams and see for yourself.
After seeing how they live, think carefully about whether you want to put your family in such a situation just for a little money."
After saying this, Liu Jingxue stopped talking and let the two of them digest it slowly.
She just didn't believe it. Even after she said so, these two people still wanted to continue doing this business.
The two of them don't have her cheats. If they go out to do this, what if they get caught? Then their families will definitely be implicated, and even those people in the cowshed.
After finally getting rid of Zheng Pengcheng, Liu Jingxue didn't want to disrupt her peaceful life.
If they did this, she would have to escort them. The winter in the Northeast was too cold, and even with the spiritual energy protecting her, she still didn't want to go out.
What's more, the snow was so thick that it was inconvenient to walk. She had not yet reached the foundation-building stage and could not fly with a sword, so she didn't want to go out.
Everyone likes money, including her, but she doesn't want to put herself in danger for the sake of making money, and she doesn't want to be implicated by others.
I don’t know how long it took before Zhou Mingxuan spoke, breaking the silence in the room.
"Xiaoxue, you are right. We cannot put ourselves and our families in danger for a little bit of profit. We were just crazy for a moment and thought the wrong way.
Let’s forget about what we talked about before. We won’t mention it again, and neither of us will have such thoughts again.”
Zhao Junhao then spoke up, "During this period of time, the two of us have negotiated so many deals and sold so many vegetables that we lost our minds for a while and forgot about the current situation.
In fact, when we went to discuss business with others, we were also checked. If we hadn’t had the certificate issued by the brigade, we would have been arrested long ago.
We made so much money in just ten days by selling vegetables that were not worth much, so we thought that if we sold meat, we would make more money. What's more, the meat was from the mountains, so it was a zero-cost business, so we could make more money."
Zhou Mingxuan smiled bitterly, "It seems that the money came too quickly and we were blinded by it.
Grandpa had warned us before, but we didn’t take it seriously. We didn’t expect it to show its true colors all of a sudden.”
Zhao Junhao touched his head and said, "Don't you think this is strange? We are not short of money, so why are we so obsessed with money all of a sudden?"
Liu Jingxue smiled and said, "You two are not short of money, but money is different from money.
The money you had before was given by your family, but the money from selling vegetables is earned by yourself, so it is of different significance.
Maybe it’s just like you said before, what you like is not money, but the joy of making money and the sense of accomplishment that making money brings you.
After all, this means that you are no longer solely dependent on your family for support, but can create your own wealth. "
Liu Jingxue has experienced this feeling. In modern times, she worked a summer job and received her first month's salary. The feeling of joy is still fresh in her memory, but she never had that feeling again.
Zhao Junhao seemed to be thinking about something. "That's right. Every time I get the commission from Accountant Li, it feels different from getting money from our elders.
I think I like the feeling of making money myself.”
Liu Jingxue laughed, "If the situation is reversed in the future and you give money to your parents and elders, you will probably like that feeling even more."
Zhao Junhao imagined the scene Liu Jingxue described in his mind and couldn't help laughing. "That feeling must be more pleasant."
Zhou Mingxuan said, "I originally wanted to continue practicing what grandpa taught us, but I didn't expect it would be useless so soon. I can only wait until next year."
“Yes, we want to do business privately. Besides wanting to make money and not rely on family subsidies, another reason is that we want to verify what we have learned.
I didn’t expect that there would only be one chance a year.”
"Wait a minute, there will be opportunities in the future. It is impossible for the higher-ups to prohibit private transactions forever.
After all, there has never been such a thing in the past. Even in primitive society, people used to barter. "Liu Jingxue comforted him.
"I hope so." Zhao Junhao said weakly.
Worried that the two would sink into despair, Liu Jingxue quickly said, "And you don't have to wait until next year to sell vegetables before you have the opportunity to practice."
When Zhou Mingxuan heard this, he immediately became interested again, "Xiaoxue, do you have any new ideas?"
“A few days ago, I went to the clinic to get some herbal medicine, and the barefoot doctor told me that the clinic had a lot of herbal medicine stored up and was running out of space to store it.
These are the finished medicines I made, and the clinic has a lot of them stored up.
The villagers are very hardworking. Every time they go into the mountains, they will get some harvest. After drying, they will send the harvest to the health center to record their work points.
Forget it this year, it’s going to snow soon and we won’t be able to pick any herbs.
But after the beginning of next spring, I’m afraid the health center won’t be able to store them and some of the herbs will have to be disposed of.
As for how to deal with it, it is definitely not possible to throw it away or ask the villagers to stop collecting herbs."
Liu Jingxue looked at the two of them and said, "If you go to the town, you can go to the pharmacy or hospital to ask if they sell herbal medicine.
If they collect the herbs, the villagers will have a new way to make money next year. They can keep some of the collected herbs in the village as a backup and sell the rest to pharmacies and hospitals.
As for how to negotiate with the pharmacy, hospital, and team leader, that's up to you to figure out."
“Besides this, I have another idea.
Just now you said that those who order vegetables from you also want to order meat. It is impossible to sell the meat in the mountains to them in bulk. After all, the meat is owned by the state, not the production team.
The meat from the mountains is not good, but the meat raised by the production team is fine.
See if you can convince the team leader and others to develop breeding in the team and raise more chickens, ducks, pigs, sheep and the like. Then you can not only sell meat, but also eggs and milk.
If there are many people in the town asking for meat, it is impossible for the captain and his men not to be tempted.
It is impossible to ask those people in the production team to sell the goods, and the other educated youth have their abilities, so the task of sales will definitely fall on you.
You will have the opportunity to put into practice what you have learned, and you can do it in the name of the brigade, so others will not be able to find trouble with you."
Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao were very excited when they heard this, but they were also a little worried.
"Will the captain agree?"
“You haven’t even tried, so how do you know he doesn’t agree?
Even if he disagrees at first, you can still try to convince him.
If you have this idea, you should tell him earlier. After all, you will have to divide money and food the day after tomorrow. If you really want to raise livestock, the family must set aside some money so that you can buy eggs to hatch chickens and ducks, and buy piglets.
As for sheep, they have to be caught and domesticated in the mountains."
"If this thing succeeds, it won't be like selling vegetables, which only happens once a year. It will be a long-term business. You can use the name of the brigade and do business openly. It's better than doing it secretly."
Zhou Mingxuan gritted his teeth and said, "Let's discuss it first and then consult with the captain."
