Chapter 546 Drawing a pie
I have to say that Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao are very proactive. After discussing with Grandpa Wu in the evening, they went to the brigade headquarters to find the brigade leader the next day.
The autumn harvest has ended, and the brigade cadres in the brigade office are busy counting the accounts, so all the people are present.
As soon as the two of them told the captain about the matter and handed over the plan they had prepared in advance, it immediately aroused the captain's great interest.
Although the team leader had a high prestige in the production team, he was not the only one who had the final say. Important matters in the team still had to be discussed collectively by the team cadres. As everyone was present, the team leader called them together to discuss the matter with Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao.
After more than two hours of discussion, the rules for selling the goods were finalized.
During the past few months that Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao have been here, every trip to the town has not been in vain, and they have accumulated a lot of connections.
As for whether they could sell the things, after discussing with grandpa in the cowshed last night, and after several elders in the cowshed explained the vegetable reserves for the winter in the Northeast, the two said they were not worried at all.
The two were even a little worried that they had brought in too many orders and the production team would not have enough products to sell.
If there are any problems, they should be raised. The two raised their concerns at the meeting.
Hearing the two say this, several cadres in the production team burst into laughter.
"It seems that Zhou Zhiqing and Zhao Zhiqing are very confident. They are worried that there won't be enough vegetables to sell before they even start. It seems that they know that our production team sold out of vegetables last year and had to go to other production teams to look for goods."
"You can rest assured about this. Seeing that there were not enough vegetables to sell last year, almost every household in our production team has expanded their planting area this year. The output of various types of vegetables has increased, and it is basically more than double that of last year."
Zhou Mingxuan was still a little worried. He and Zhao Junhao had met many people from various institutions and factories in the town during this period. Although they were not in charge of purchasing, it would not be difficult for them to meet people in the purchasing department with their introductions.
After hearing about the custom of hoarding food in winter in Northeast China from several elders last night, the two were very confident about signing a large number of orders.
"Having said that, we have added the selling of pickled cabbage this year. To make pickled cabbage, we need to use fresh vegetables.
I am a little worried that if we sell fresh vegetables and pickled vegetables, our production team may not have enough vegetables to sell." Zhou Mingxuan said.
The captain took a puff of his pipe and said, "Don't worry about this, you are only responsible for signing the order, you don't have to worry about the rest.
As long as you can sign it, we guarantee that we can get the goods even if our production team is out of stock.
The members of our production team basically have relatives in the production teams in the surrounding area, and we, the brigade cadres, can also talk to other production teams.
If our production team really doesn’t have it, we can go to other production teams and get it at a lower price, and then we can make a profit from the difference.”
Zhao Junhao was worried, "What if other production teams follow suit and organize people to sell vegetables instead of selling them to our production team?"
Secretary Xu tried to comfort them, "Zhou Zhiqing and Zhao Zhiqing have been in our production team for so long. I think you are familiar with the situation of our team members. You think they are capable of going out on their own to discuss business.
It's not that we look down on our own people. If we, the people who make a living from the fields, were asked to sell vegetables, the only thing they could think of was to carry their own vegetables to the supply and marketing cooperatives or to the black market.
But private transactions are not allowed now, and if you go there, you will be caught.
If they were asked to represent the brigade and go to work to sell vegetables, they would not know who to find even if they wanted to. Even if someone told them who to find, they would not be able to find that person. Even if that person was standing in front of them, they would not have the courage to speak.
So, even if other production teams wanted to find someone to sell vegetables, the task would definitely fall on the educated youth from the city.
You two may not know the situation in other production teams and think that other production teams are the same as ours, with harmonious relations between the villagers and the educated youth.
You are wrong. The relationship between the villagers in other production teams and the educated youth was not irreconcilable, but it was definitely not good either.
The villagers were wary of the educated youth and didn't want them to take advantage of them. The educated youth would not think of the villagers and would help them sell vegetables, and were lucky enough not to make trouble secretly.
So, don’t think that people from other production teams will compete with you for business. Even if there are, they are very few.”
"Zhou Zhiqing, Zhao Zhiqing, no matter how capable you are, just use them. No matter how much you sell, we will cover you. We will not let you bring in business but have no goods." The captain made the final promise.
With the captain's assurance, Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao immediately felt relieved, "Captain, let's go ahead and do it.
Don't worry, we will definitely sell all the vegetables, dried vegetables and mountain products that the production team has in abundance, not to mention other things."
The two have always wanted to do business, but the current situation does not allow it. Now that there is such an opportunity, they want to give it a go and accumulate some experience for the future.
After the two men left, several brigade cadres started discussing.
"Seeing how confident they are, can they sell it?" Accountant Li was a little worried.
Secretary Xu said, "I have great confidence in them both."
"Why did Secretary Xu say that?"
"Have you forgotten their backgrounds? Children from such families are not familiar with these things.
I even suspect that since they came to our countryside, they might have people in the town or even in the city. Otherwise, if their families really trust these young masters to come here, they must have arranged people to look after them.
Didn’t you see that they like to go to the town whenever they have time? You would have really thought they were going to the supply and marketing cooperative in town to buy things.
Even if you go shopping, you don’t have to go so often.”
After Secretary Xu said this, several cadres present also felt hopeful.
"If that's true, then our production team won't have to worry about the vegetables.
To be honest, when my mother and my husband proposed to grow more vegetables, I was against it because I was worried that the educated youth would not be able to sell them. "
“It’s the same in our family.
I think if we sell it this year, everyone will definitely expand the planting next year.”
The team leader took a puff of his cigarette and said, "There are new changes to the rules for selling vegetables. I will go and tell the other educated youth so that they can also take action.
As for you, let's discuss what price we should negotiate with other production teams if our production team does not have enough vegetables.
Remember not to set the purchase price too high, leaving some profit margin for our production team and the vegetable sellers, otherwise we will have to work hard to sell the vegetables for free.”
"Captain, don't worry, we are not that stupid."
The team leader pulled two children outside the team headquarters and asked them to run to Zheng Jianmin and Chen Guoqing's homes to report the news, and asked everyone to quickly gather at the educated youth point. After he had something to say, he slowly walked towards the educated youth point.
No one was sent to inform Liu Jingxue because the captain knew about it and she would not get involved in this matter at all.
Less than half a month after the army personnel left with Liu Jingxue's prescription and the signed contract, someone else came and gave Liu Jingxue the stamped contract and the certificate.
Starting from September, Liu Jingxue can receive a monthly salary of 45, and the team leader is also aware of this.
So he didn't ask anyone to call Liu Jingxue, because she didn't care about the money she made from selling vegetables.
What's more, after more than a year, the team leader has also realized that Liu Jingxue is not a sociable or eloquent person, and is not the type to do business at all.
