It wasn't until the sun set and it got dark that Sanlang returned home. The family packed up the food and wine and put them on the porch in the yard.

Sanlang washed his hands and face, sat down at the table, and said to his parents: "I'm busy today, so I came back late. Don't blame me, Mom and Dad."

Zhang Yan said with some heartache: "There is no need to be so busy. When it comes to making money, it has to be done gradually. If you are like this, what should you do if you are exhausted? Make less every day, and over time, you will add up to more."

"

Sanlang said: "During the busy farming season in the past, didn't dad always work day and night? It's the same."

Zhang Yan said: "What's the difference? When the farming season is busy, it's true that there's no darkness or night. But the farming season only lasts a few days a year. Grit your teeth, the busy farming season is over, and you'll have a rest soon. You're different now, you're like this every day.

No way."

Sanlang said: "I employ more than 20 people there. If I don't do the work, how can others be willing to do it seriously? If you want to make money in business, how can you do it if you don't work hard? Business is good this year, and the people in the supply and marketing cooperative are urging them every day.

It can’t be done.”

Zhang Yan had no choice but to let Sanlang eat meat.

After dinner, the family sat in the yard chatting.

The cool breeze at night picked up and blew on my body, which immediately made me feel a lot cooler. Saburo hung a newly bought oil lamp on the pillar, took out a small high chair, unfolded it, and sat down. He pulled up his trouser legs and faced him.

Facing the direction where the wind is blowing.

Wu Lang said on the side: "Brother, I see that this lamp is covered with glass and is extremely exquisite. Does it cost a lot of money?"

Sanlang said: "That's natural. One lamp costs three thousand dollars, and the oil used is not cheap. But this lamp is really good, brighter than a candle, and it has no smoke and won't hurt your eyes. You go to school well, and you can be here in the future.

Read a book under the lamp."

After hearing this, Zhang Yan hurriedly said: "Three pieces of money for a lamp, how can you be willing to spend this money? Sanlang, your business has just started, you spend money everywhere, you have to save a little. Not to mention, the money you borrowed from Erlang is, after all,

You have to pay it back."

Sanlang said: "I understand. I am in business, and it is really inconvenient not to have such a light at night. You don't know, I went to Xiangyang City a few days ago to see the venues run by the government. There are many

There are lights like this everywhere.”

Wulang said: "There are many places. Oh my god, how much does it cost? It is not easy for us country people to make three guan of money."

Sanlang said: "I asked the people at the supply and marketing cooperative, and they said that these are called industrial products. The prices are high when they first come out, but they gradually become cheaper. In a few years, every household in the Song Dynasty will have one like this.

lights.”

Wulang couldn't help but laugh after hearing this. It's easy to say this, but difficult to do. How many people are willing to buy a lamp that costs three dollars per lamp?

Zhang Yan couldn't help but shake his head after hearing this. When Sanlang was doing business, he often didn't know what he was thinking, and what he said made people feel like he was dreaming.

Saburo raised his head and let the wind blow into his clothes. The cool breeze at night calmed down his burning heart.

After a while, Zhang Yan asked: "Sanlang, I have always been reluctant to ask you, so let me ask you tonight. How much money can your Weixi Club make in a year?"

Sanlang said: "If the business is like this summer, you can make a few hundred guan. However, the reed mat business is best in summer, and it will definitely not be able to compare with other times. In my opinion, I can earn more than 100 guan a year."

If it goes through, I will be satisfied.”

Zhang Yan said: "Who dares to think about a hundred guan a year? Our family has nearly a hundred acres of land, and all the grain is sold for only a few dozen guan."

Sanlang smiled and said: "Dad, if it's the same as farming, who would still do business? If I can't make a hundred dollars, I won't do it next year!"

Yang Yan said: "Don't be arrogant. You have to take your time to make money. How can you make a lot of money at once?"

Saburo just smiled and said nothing.

I invested more than 200 guan of my own capital, but if I can’t make 100 guan a year, what else do I do? I run a factory, not just sell goods like before. In the past two years, with the strong support of the supply and marketing cooperative, I started a factory.

When making money.

After a while, Sanlang said: "Two days ago, Qiao Tong from the supply and marketing cooperative came to me and said he was in the business of making willow baskets. He wanted me to do it. Willow baskets don't require any machinery, and the cost is small, but they make a lot of money. In the end,

Importantly, these are things used by the army, and I bought a lot of them. I didn’t think about it for a while, so I didn’t reply to him. Our village is still too small, and there aren’t many people doing the work. If we take over the Liugang business, we’ll need another one.

Think of ways to."

Zhang Yan said: "Every household uses willow baskets, so how can it be considered a decent business? There are many people in the surrounding villages who can weave willow baskets. Who can make a living from this? They all take advantage of the slack time to make some money by weaving a few baskets."

Sanlang said: "Dad, this is used by the army. The requirements are exactly the same, strong and durable. The supply and marketing cooperative collects the same price, the price is stable, and it is a business that makes a profit without losing money. My second brother is in the army, and our family is considered a military dependent. The government takes care of us. This

You only come to me for business."

Zhang Yan said: "In Xinye, I heard Erlang say that the local government would take care of people in the army. In the past, the labor force was less, the work was lighter, and nothing else. Why, now they even take care of business?"

Sanlang nodded: "Of course. The supply and marketing cooperative is looking for people to do things in the local area. It is obviously a matter of making money, and not everyone can do it."

Zhang Yan said: "The more this happens, the more panicked I feel. Someone in my family is a soldier, and I have never heard of local care before. Suddenly like this, who knows whether it will cause trouble? These profitable businesses used to be done by powerful people.

,Why is it our family’s turn?”

Sanlang shook his head and didn't bother to explain to his father. In fact, it was because of his second brother Zhang Chi that he took over the reed mat business. Two hundred guan was a lot of money in his own family, and for many powerful people, it was too much to pay for it.

It's not difficult to get out. Why should it fall on you?

Wulang played in the yard for a while and came over to sit down. After hearing the two people's words, he couldn't help but ask Sanlang: "My brother keeps talking about the supply and marketing cooperative. What does this supply and marketing cooperative do? As long as it collects, will it definitely make money?"

Sanlang said: "As long as the supply and marketing cooperative collects the money, of course it will make money. This is run by the government and specializes in this business. I have asked people, the supply and marketing cooperative is in the towns and the market has its own special market, and the goods are best sold.

. Another person who has a regular supply in the countryside, with a stable supply of various supplies. They are in the middle, connecting the two ends, and making a lot of money."

Wulang nodded. But after thinking about it carefully, he still didn't understand.

The supply and marketing cooperative is not a simple commercial organization, but a huge organization specially established by Wang Xiaolie to connect urban and rural areas, workers and farmers. On the one hand, it has its own specialized markets in various cities, and at the same time, it distributes to various markets, and even has sales agencies in many villages.

On the other hand, with the support of the government, various small workshops were widely established in the countryside to sell rural goods.

One end is the market, the other is the source of goods. The supply and marketing cooperative has established a complete commercial chain with its own logistics, warehousing, etc., opening up a huge national market for the rich local products and handicrafts in the countryside.

Now is the time when supply and marketing cooperatives are vigorously developing, and there are many preferential policies. Saburo's Weixi Club is drinking first-class soup and has huge profits. But it has just begun, and many people are still skeptical.
