Chapter 465: Try selling mountain goods
Lin Jing had a little "sympathy" and wanted to help Lin Zhong, but Lin Yuan was still her second uncle no matter what. Maybe she would be the one to suffer in the end, so she could only say a few perfunctory words.
After chatting for a long time, Lin Jing said: "The foreigner who used to live in our house is now willing to build a factory in our town. The town is not far from the village. Then my second uncle should agree to you going to work in the town, right?"
The town is relatively close to Linjiacun. It takes an hour or two to get there just by walking on two legs, but compared to Nandu or Imperial Capital where you have to buy a train ticket, everything you can reach on foot is very close. .
What's more, there are tractors in the village, and there will be more people working in the town. Everyone can use the tractor to commute to get off work together, or rent a house in the town.
Lin Yuan also told Lin Zhong about this - making money at home without having to travel far is better than anything else.
Lin Zhong believed that once the factory was built, Lin Jing would definitely find work for him. However, no one could say for sure when the factory would be built. Everyone who went south to work could already make a lot of money, so why should he have to spend so much money? What about in the village?
Some people are timid when other people's families are wasted, and some people have people to take care of. Lin Yuan is unwilling to be wasted on their families.
Lin Yuan even said: "I will definitely not be able to be the village chief for the rest of my life. If you leave the village, it will not be your turn to be the village chief."
Lin Zhong only thought it was funny. Who would choose him as the village chief if he was divorced?
Besides, the village is so poor that it can't move. What's the point of him being the head of Linjia Village?
Can't you go out and make some steady money for a few years, and then when you come back you can build roads and build houses with everyone else?
Lin Jing didn't expect that Lin Yuan actually wanted to make his son the village chief. With such a big official, he still wanted to inherit it hereditary?
Well, her grandfather and her father both served as village chiefs, so there's really nothing to say about this.
"We can't change the second uncle's idea for a while. If you want to make money in your hometown, you can also think of other ways." Lin Jing said to Lin Zhong.
Compared with Wang Hong and Zhang Xiaohua who both thought that Lin Hui was the eldest grandson of the Lin family and should inherit the Lin family business, Lin Zhong really didn't have that idea.
Your son is your own, and you should earn whatever you want.
However, he is not a very clear-minded person. Sometimes he prefers to compromise and pretend not to notice. As long as his name is not called, the matter has nothing to do with him.
"What opportunities do you have?" Lin Zhong also admired Lin Jing very much. She was a college student, she could make money, and the method she thought of would definitely work.
Lin Jing said: "You can go to the city to sell vegetables."
Lin Zhong frowned and said in embarrassment: "We have done it before when you and your cousin went to the market to sell vegetables. Now there are many people selling vegetables in the city. We go far to the city and drag the vegetables there. It won’t be worth much if you sell it, and you can’t even make gas money.”
It’s like this in everything you do. The more people do it, the less money you can make.
When Lin Jing was reborn, the weather was bad and the policies were loosened but not very clear in places like Qi City. The brave ones were starved to death and the timid ones were starved to death.
Now that everyone has become bolder, it is difficult for Lin Zhong to still make money by doing this, and sometimes he even loses money.
So what if it’s difficult?
There are only so many opportunities to make money in Linjia Village. With the changes in national policies, it will be difficult to make money in the future due to various regulations on hunting and fur hunting in the mountains. Compared with selling vegetables, it is more practical.
Lin Jing looked at Lin Zhong in front of her with mixed feelings in her heart.
She knew that Lin Zhong was an honest man who was eager to change the status quo, but lacked courage and direction.
As an elder, her second uncle cares more about his authority than changing the fate of his family. If he doesn't go out, he will really be trapped in the village.
Lin Jing slowly spoke more clearly, "I know there are many people selling vegetables in the city and the competition is fierce, but we can try a different route."
Lin Zhong frowned, obviously hesitant about this proposal. He knew the hard work and risks of selling vegetables, and he also understood Lin Jing's good intentions, but he couldn't help but ask, "How to do it?"
However, the person from the county gave Lin Jing inspiration. In the past, the mountain goods from Linjia Village were very popular when they were sold in the city. Now Lin Zhong and the others can do this. "You can sell mountain products."
"Selling mountain products?" Lin Zhong also thought about it. "Actually, I have done it too, but I can't make much money at all."
It is true that city people like wild products, but there are not many dried wild products. No one would go to the mountains to pick wild products. Naturally, they cannot be sold for much money if there is not much quantity.
"It's true that your family can't produce much mountain vegetables. We can collect the mountain vegetables in the village and bring them to the city to sell." Lin Jing explained, "The mountain vegetables are very popular in the city, and the price is higher than ordinary vegetables. . We can try to contact some hotels or restaurants to see if they are interested in purchasing our mountain products in the long term."
"Of course, it won't go smoothly at the beginning, but you can always get better if you take your time."
"Besides, there are people in the family now in Nandu and Imperial Capital. They can also ask what the local market is like. If it is far from good, they can also send goods to these places for sale."
Lin Zhong was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then nodded: "This is a good idea, I'll give it a try first."
Yu Xiaohua, who was standing next to him, said unconvincingly: "If it's mountain products, our village also collects them, but there's not much after they're dried, and the price doesn't look high, but it's really hard work." There are still many people, so I’m afraid it won’t be that easy.”
Lin Zhong pushed her and said with some complaints: "Jingjing suggests that we listen first and try it before talking."
Yu Xiaohua is not someone who wants to find fault, "Is it because I don't want to try? It's because my family really doesn't have money."
"If you collect mountain goods like others, you won't make much money at all."
The whole country is thinking about making money. Regardless of whether they go out to work or not, who doesn’t want to make more money?
It's the same in rural areas. I can't wait to use my family's money to sell it for money. The key is that someone will buy it.
Lin Zhong was actually troubled. He had thought about it and even tried it, but it just didn't make any money.
"Brother Lin Zhong, you see these mountain mushrooms and fungus are mountain products, but they are actually different. If we pick and dry them in the wrong way, their taste and nutritional value will be greatly reduced." Lin Jing pointed casually. Said the mushrooms and fungus in the basket.
As he spoke, he took out a handful of dried fungus and said, "City people also pay attention to the appearance of things. In addition to eating them, they also look good. So when we pick them, should we help customers select them from the beginning?"
Whatever you do, you must standardize the process to stabilize the quality of the product. If you want to do business for a long time, you must be careful and do your best.
