"Uncle, what's going on over there with Uncle Hua?" Cao Shujie was very curious.
He had discussed this issue with Cao Jianhua at the beginning, and also suggested that Cao Jianhua should try not to do farming in unfamiliar situations, or take it easy, but Cao Jianhua didn't listen and Cao Shujie couldn't do anything.
Later, Cao Jianhua asked him for help, and Cao Shujie also helped.
For example, by introducing Chen Xingquan, the owner of Chenzheng Guardrail, to Cao Jianhua, he can buy high-quality barbed wire guardrails at a very low price.
"Shujie, don't just talk, pour it yourself. Let's drink some together." Cao Jiangang took an empty cup from the long coffee table at the back and placed it next to it.
Cao Shujie was not polite, reached for the wine bottle, filled Cao Jiangang with wine first, then poured it for himself, raised the wine glass and toasted to Cao Jiangang.
Cao Jianguo didn't buy it, he said: "Shujie, why are you so anxious about drinking? You eat something to satisfy your stomach first, and we will drink slowly and chat slowly."
Cao Jiangang shared Cao Jianhua's farming story with Cao Shujie as a story, and only then did Cao Shujie understand what had happened during this period.
Since Cao Jianhua contracted the mountainous land to prepare for breeding, he has invested a lot of money in it.
Not to mention the rent of more than 50,000 yuan, the barbed wire guardrail that was contacted later cost a total of nearly 100,000 yuan. This was because Cao Shujie introduced him to Chen Xingquan, who was an acquaintance and gave him the lowest ex-factory price.
In order to make it easier to get water, Cao Jianhua also contacted someone to dig a well for him in the mountains.
However, it is difficult to find water sources in Cao Jianhua's area, and the cost of drilling wells is slightly higher than that in Cao Shujie's area. This is human nature and can be accepted.
When Cao Jianhua thought about the future gains, he felt that this loss did not matter.
But later, the contact person built a pig pen, and with some other miscellaneous investments, the price soon exceeded 200,000, 250,000, 300,000...
The investment of these funds must be spent in the budget. When he thought about it at the time, he didn't think it was anything, but after he actually spent it, he felt that things were different from what he thought.
And I have been investing so much that I haven’t started buying piglets yet, and there are also subsequent feeding expenses such as corn, feed, bean cakes, etc.
In addition, his wife Gao Hong saw that her family's savings were gradually bottoming out, and there was no hope for the pig farm, so she did not dare to give him any money.
In this way, Cao Jianhua was faced with a dilemma, and he came to Cao Jiangang for help.
"Shujie, what do you think about this?" Cao Jiangang asked Cao Shujie while holding a wine glass.
"Uncle, to be honest, I have no opinion." Cao Shujie shook his head. He really had no opinion on this matter.
The difficulties Cao Jianhua faces now are insufficient financial preparations, and more importantly, insufficient planning.
Cao Shujie told Cao Jianhua about this issue when he first asked him for advice.
Cao Shujie really wasn't bluffing him at that time.
Cao Shujie has more than 1.6 million yuan as the bottom line from the sale of his house, and he has nutrient solution in his hands. For him, planting is the way to go.
All other projects derived from planting are done under controllable circumstances. Cao Shujie is confident in his heart. He is not worried and dares to get loans.
But the problem is that Cao Jianhua has no awareness of risk management and control. Asking him to take out a loan now will only increase his investment and may cause greater risks in the future. Is this really okay?
Speaking of this, Cao Shujie asked Cao Jiangang: "Uncle, what did you tell him?"
Cao Jiangang stood up and stretched, but he also shook his head: "I can't help it."
When Cao Shujie heard what he said, he smiled. He was indeed an old fox. His academic qualifications were not as high as his, but his perspective on problems was not bad at all.
Having said this, Cao Jiangang looked at Cao Shujie with a smile and continued to ask him: "Shujie, are you still planning to contract the mountain land?"
"Why don't you contract? Uncle, I have a complete development plan, I have a budget, and I have the funds to back it up. Uncle Hua and I are different." Cao Shujie said.
"For the sake of your father and I being brothers, I've told you everything you need to say. I won't stop you if you insist on doing it. I also believe you have the ability." At this point, Cao Jiangang held up his hand.
Looking at the half-filled white wine in his glass, he said, "Shujie, let's have a drink. I wish you success."
"Uncle, drink better some other time." Cao Shujie said.
It was fine if he didn't say anything. As soon as he opened his mouth, Cao Jiangang scolded him: "When will your banquet start?"
"Last time you told me that you would invite me to have a drink after building a house, but your house is almost finished and I haven't seen a hair on it." Cao Jiangang complained to him.
Cao Shujie chuckled: "Don't worry, uncle, after the house is renovated by the end of this month, I will serve wine and I will definitely come and call you then."
"I've been waiting for half a year." Cao Jiangang said with a straight face.
"I'm sure this time, let me just watch!" Cao Shujie raised his neck and drank the rest of the white wine in the glass.
"Okay, you have to go through the same process for contracting the mountainous area. I will convene a meeting in the afternoon to discuss it, and then convene the villagers to hold a village meeting. After the process is completed, I will go to the town to make a record." Cao Jianhua told him.
Said something.
Cao Shujie was very familiar with this process, so he was not in a hurry these days. He chatted with Cao Jiangang for a while, then left and walked home.
Cao Jianguo was repairing a small cart for his granddaughter in the yard. Mengmeng disliked the small cart rubbing her butt. When she told her grandfather, Cao Jianguo became very interested.
He concentrated on thinking about how to reform it.
Seeing his son come in, Cao Jianguo asked him without raising his head: "Shujie, how was the conversation with your uncle Jiangang?"
"Hehe!" Cao Shujie said, "Dad, it went very well."
"I have nothing else to think about. Come here and help me. Mengmeng said that the scooter is a bit harsh on the butt. What do you think of changing it?" Cao Jianguo urged him.
Cao Shujie nodded: "Just add a few more layers of cushions."
He took off his coat, pulled up a small stool and sat down, and the two of them began to study.
Mengmeng saw her father back in the house. She smiled happily and ran over, lying on her father's lap: "Dad, let's go fishing."
"The water is too big now, we can't do it." Cao Shujie shook his head, not yet.
"I don't." Mengmeng pouted and stared at her father, very unconvinced.
After she finished speaking, she used her father's legs as a fulcrum, pushed her feet on the ground, and rocked back and forth on Cao Shujie's legs, like a human seesaw, and she was very engaged in playing.
Cao Shujie was afraid that she would fall, so he had to protect her with one hand, which would prevent him from helping his father work.
Cao Jianguo puts his granddaughter at the center of everything. He said: "Just watch Mengmeng, I can do it myself."
When Mengmeng saw the car, she pointed at her butt and said, "Dad, my butt hurts."
"Isn't your grandpa repairing this for you?" Cao Shujie remembered the first time he took his daughter for a walk on the street with a dog. He turned to his father and said, "Dad, this car has no shock absorption, and the board is very hard.
, just adding a seat cushion is useless, you have to find a way to add shock absorption, otherwise it will still be bumpy when passing through small tunnels."
"With just a few broken wooden boards, how can we add shock absorption?" Upon hearing his son's suggestion, Cao Jianguo looked over and over at the bottom of the small cart, but he really couldn't think of a better way.
After thinking for a moment, Cao Shujie said, "Dad, what do you think about finding an iron plate, installing a shock absorber on the iron plate, and then drilling two holes to connect it to the wooden board?"
"You have a good idea. How about I go to the town and have a look? The car repair shop should be able to handle it." Cao Jianguo really took this matter as a big deal.
Cao Shujie quickly waved his hand: "Dad, don't go to town. I'll go to Taobao later and have a look. There should be ready-made ones, which are more beautiful than the ones in town."
"What is Taobao?" Cao Jianguo looked confused.
Even though Taobao has been developing for eight years since 2003, and even though it has held three Double 11 Shopping Festivals, Lao Ma’s alien face often hangs out in front of the media, but for Cao Jianguo, who lives in the countryside, that
It's still an unfamiliar territory.
Cao Shujie knew this, so he patiently explained to his father: "Dad, we are short of things at home. Why don't we all go to the market or the mall to buy them?"
"Yes!" Cao Jianguo nodded.
Cao Shujie continued: "This Taobao is just like a market mall. You can't see or touch it, but it also sells those things, even more comprehensively than those sold in the market and shopping malls."
"Is the Internet reliable?" Cao Jianguo asked him.
How should I say this? Cao Shujie knows that it is difficult for someone who has never been exposed to a new field to trust it in a short period of time.
He patiently explained to his father what was going on.
Cheng Xiaolin came out of the house. After hearing this, she went directly to get the computer. She also called her mother-in-law over, opened the computer and logged into Taobao, and explained the operations to them one by one.
This operation is very simple and straightforward.
Both Cao Jianguo and Wang Yuelan found it strange. Wang Yuelan also remembered something and asked her daughter-in-law: "Linlin, you bought me a dress before, and you also went to the post office to pick up the express. You bought it here."
"Yes, Mom, I bought it from here." Cheng Xiaolin nodded and said, "We have chosen it and the buyer will send it to us by express delivery."
"That's really convenient." Wang Yuelan said.
Cao Jianguo thought differently. He asked his son: "Others can sell things from here, can we also sell things from here?"
"Dad, what do you want to sell?" Cao Shujie asked him.
He never expected that his father's mind would move very quickly, and he would think of the key point of selling things as soon as he came into contact with him.
"Can I sell anything?" Cao Jianguo asked his son.
Cao Shujie nodded: "Dad, everything is sold here."
"Look..." Cao Shujie swiped a few times in the notebook operating area, and then saw the cursor flashing on the screen, pulling down the menu: "Dad, look here, clothes, shoes, food, drink, and
Toys, etc.”
"It's so complete." Cao Jianguo felt incredible: "Why didn't I know this before?"
After Wang Yuelan heard this, she scolded him: "There are so many things you don't know, so where are you going?"
Cao Jianguo wanted to retort, but when he saw his wife staring at him, he swallowed what he didn't say.
Cao Jianguo lowered his head and saw the small cart being repaired and improved, and asked: "Is this available on Taobao?"
"There should be, right?" Cao Shujie said.
"If you have it, you have it, if you don't have it, you don't have it. What does it mean to have it." Cao Jianguo recovered the anger he had received from his wife from his son.
Seeing that his son had not moved yet, he glared again: "If you don't hurry up and look for it, what are you doing so stupidly?"
"Do you need me to teach you about such a small thing?"
Cheng Xiaolin watched her father-in-law scolding her husband, and she burst into laughter.
Simply!
In this family, it’s her husband who is the one who gets offended!
Cao Shujie was not as experienced as his father. He entered "small scooter" and when he saw that all scooters appeared, he knew that he had searched wrongly.
After thinking for a while, he then entered 'children's trailer' again, and when he clicked on it this time, he found that he had found the right one, and there were all kinds of them.
Look at the introduction of each store, there are also imported ones.
Cao Jianguo looked at the beautiful pictures on the website. Then he looked at the small solid wood cart that the two of them put together. It was too crude, the details were not handled well, and it was not beautiful enough. The more he looked at it, the more unpleasant it became.
"Aren't there a lot of them? If I had known they were sold here, I wouldn't have wasted my time." Cao Jianguo complained.
He said: "Shujie, look for it and find a good one for Mengmeng. I'll pay for it."
What else could Cao Shujie say? He finally found a small trailer with a shock-absorbing system and could play music, and clicked to place an order.
This thing costs more than 400 yuan a car, but Cao Jianguo didn't hesitate. He actually asked his wife to get the money and insisted on giving it to his son. In the end, Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin stopped him.
Ignoring this matter, Cao Jianguo was still thinking about Taobao. After dinner in the evening, he took his son Cao Shujie outside to chat and asked him: "Can our fruits also be on this?"
Sell?"
"Of course you can, but there are a lot of problems and it's not as easy as you think." Cao Shujie said.
Cao Jianguo disagreed, and asked: "As you said, there are many problems wherever you sell. Tell me what are the difficulties of selling here, and I will listen."
Cao Shujie said seriously: "Dad, do you know why people buy things online?"
Cao Jianguo wanted to slap his son: "If you hadn't mentioned Taobao today, I didn't even know there was such a thing. What could I have said? If you continue to talk nonsense, believe it or not, I'll slap you."
Cao Shujie laughed and said, "Dad, most people buy things from here because they want it to be cheap and affordable."
"If you sell them more expensively, you will buy less. Besides, things like fruits are hard to see and touch, and they are not easy to store. They are easily damaged during transportation and are very troublesome to handle."
After hearing what his son said, Cao Jianguo pondered for a few minutes before shaking his head and saying, "No, Shujie, I don't think what you just said is a problem."
"I just looked at it, and there are hundreds and thousands of items sold on the website. Is our fruit that expensive?"
"Besides, if it's broken, let's just replace it. What's the big deal?"
Cao Shujie gave his father a thumbs up.
"Dad, do you want to try it?" Cao Shujie asked.
Cao Jianguo shook his head: "I'm just asking out of curiosity. Besides, all your kiwis are sold out, so there's nothing left to sell."
"I'm thinking that this is a way to go. If it's not easy to sell in the future, I can absorb part of it here." Cao Jianguo was a bit prepared for a rainy day.
Cao Shujie admired his father very much for this.
"It's not impossible, the quantity must be large." Cao Shujie said.
Isn’t it funny that the items are sold out every time they are sold out?
Hearing what his son said, Cao Jianguo glared at him: "If you want to sell it, you must sell more. Why bother with it if it's just a little bit?"
