Chapter 514: Going up the mountain for participation
On the first day the Donggang Ginseng Market opened, more than 30 million yuan in supply contracts and letters of intent were signed.
The county leaders were very satisfied, and all the cadres in the town were also happy and grinning from ear to ear.
The hard work of these days and the various expenses spent on receiving customers have finally paid off.
Of course, this reward is not immediate or obvious, but invisible and long-term.
Once the name of the ginseng market is publicized, and foreign merchants come to buy goods, it will attract ginseng farmers and ginseng farmers in the county or even other counties to come and sell goods.
This will drive a series of benefits from transportation, catering services, labor and other related aspects, while at the same time increasing the income of ginseng farmers.
In contrast, the transaction tax and stall fees collected by the ginseng market are not important.
For Donggang Town, being able to have the first professional ginseng market in the country will bring huge economic benefits.
The previous investment was nothing compared to this.
During this time, Xu Shiyan and his wife were busy with their business, and all hotels and restaurants were free of charge.
Moreover, the management of the market was handed over to Donggang Town, and they had no way to make profits from it.
In the eyes of some people, this is just helping the town carry the sedan chair, without much benefit.
But in fact, Xu Shiyan, his wife and their company also made considerable profits.
The market is booming, where can people from other places eat and stay? Of course, the first choice is the hotels and restaurants near the market.
The stores and hotels outside the market all belong to Su Anying's company.
Today, many people are asking whether to buy or rent at the stores outside the market, and how to rent.
Xu Shiyan and his wife took this opportunity to get acquainted with many businessmen from other places.
In fact, when these foreign businessmen first came here, they had the mentality of giving it a try, and many of them were unprepared.
As a result, when I came here, I found that the ginseng market was indeed very good, the relevant departments also paid great attention to it, and the price of ginseng was indeed exciting enough.
The exchange meeting at noon was too short, and many people didn’t actually order the goods.
Therefore, many people plan to stay and wait to see what ginseng will look like after it is launched in bulk.
Some people really couldn't wait to rush back, so they discussed with Su Anying whether they could let Su Anying be their agent.
They sent the goods list, and Su Anying directly followed the list to pick up the goods and ship them.
Of course, working as an agent is not in vain, the profits are also very generous, and both parties are mutually beneficial.
It is much more cost-effective than those merchants coming directly to pick up the goods themselves.
Therefore, people who don't know what's going on think that Xu Shiyan and his wife are working in vain.
In fact, the couple also gained fame and fortune, and it paved the way for the future. There are many benefits.
In order to celebrate the successful start of the market, Chen Jianzhang specially arranged a celebration banquet at the town guest house.
By the time the celebration banquet was over, it was almost nine o'clock in the evening.
Xu Shiyan drank a lot and was shaking when he walked. Su Anying had been walking all day in high heels, and her feet were in pain.
Chen Jianzhang arranged for a driver to take the couple home. As soon as they got home, they lay down on the kang and didn't want to move.

Fortunately, Xu Chenghou and his wife took the children over to take care of them early and did not let them come back at all.
The couple didn't have to take care of their children, so they simply slept until about seven o'clock the next morning, and then they felt better.
Participating in the market and opening a business is only the first step. There are still many things to deal with next, but these have nothing to do with Xu Shiyan and his wife.
The management of the market lies with the town. Xu Shiyan and his wife have no involvement in it. They have to be busy with other things.
Mid-September is a great time to start selling goods.
Before, I had been busy with the opening of the market and couldn't spare any time. Now that the market has opened, there is no problem in leaving the hotel to Zhou Lirong and Su Anyu.
As a couple, we decided to start participating on Sunday, the 14th.
You can get up early and stay up late. There is still so much work to do at home, so don’t delay it.
The ginseng soil used for this year's production happened to be the ginseng soil that was distributed in the year when the fields were divided into households, and the plot was hung at Nantianmen.
Xu Shiyan's family has a total of 27 feet of sticks, Xu Chenghou and his wife have a little more than 10 feet, and the two families together have more than 30 feet.
The two of them set up the mallet, which is about twenty feet a day.
If Xu Shiyan and his wife had to go back and remove the shed and cut the ginseng leaves, it would probably take more than two days to finish these sticks.
It's quite troublesome to go back and forth. It's best to get up and come back every day.
I had no choice but to discuss it with Huang Shengli, Zhao Jianshe and the others to see if we could work together at different times and change jobs or something.
In the farmhouse, it's normal to have a job au pair, that is, if your family has some work, I'll go over and help, and when mine has some work, you can help me.
Huang Shengli and others didn't even pick up the sticks. After discussing this, they simply arranged time to pick up the sticks and hurriedly picked up the sticks from several houses.
Just like that, early in the morning on the 14th, Xu Shiyan and his wife, Xu Chenghou, Xu Haiyuan, Huang Shengli and others drove to Nantianmen to hang out the land.
What everyone is discussing is to pick up Xu Shiyan's house over there first, then go to Feng Chao's house and Sun Xiaofeng's house after that, and then pick up all the other families' houses tomorrow.
When we arrived at the place, we removed the shed, cut the ginseng leaves, and the people at the back took a three-pronged pick and started digging sticks out of the soil.
"Hey, third brother, your Bangchui is quite big. Can this one be as big as three or two?"
As soon as we started digging, before a few trees were dug out, Zhao Jianshe started shouting from the other end.
The Xu family is a bit of a ginseng, and they are very good at handling it, and their sticks are also very big.
One by one, sticks were dug out of the ground. They were all white and plump and looked like little babies. Not to mention how rare they were.
Xu Chenghou and Xu Haiyuan also followed them up the mountain. They were binding ginseng leaves in front of them. When they heard that the mallet was good, they also hurried over to take a look.
"You're not young, you're so tall. You're so rare.
Otherwise, that bean cake fertilizer is really useful. In big houses, such big mallets were rare in the past."
Xu Chenghou reached out and picked up the mallet from the soil, weighed it and sighed.
"Uncle Xu, when did you say that?
In the past, an average of one foot of ginseng weighed only thirteen or four kilograms. If it could lift fifteen or six kilograms, it was considered a great weight.
If it weren't for my third brother's ability to produce this bean cake fertilizer, there would be no current production.
Nowadays, one foot of ginseng can lift more than twenty kilograms, and the best place can weigh twenty-five kilograms. It is almost twice as much as before, how can it be the same?"
Zhao Jianshe swung the three-pronged stick and carefully dug out the stick from the ground, while saying proudly.
"Well, that's true. Now the ginseng field weighs ten kilograms more, and the price of sticks has also increased a lot. My income can almost double.
I really have to thank Third Brother for these.
Not only us, but all the ginseng farmers in the county should thank Third Brother."
On the other end, Huang Shengli also started to dig out the sticks with a three-pronged tooth. When he went down with the three-pronged stick, he brought up three sticks, which were not small in size.
"Ahem, thank you for that. You said that we worked hard and hunched over all day, just hoping to get more goods in the fields and earn more money?
As long as everyone can live a good life, it doesn't matter if you thank me or not." Xu Shiyan smiled on the other end.
