The Analects of Righteous Father’s Collapse
8 Chapter 8
"How do you sell this little box."
An old lady asked, holding a small box with a big palm in her hand. She was so rare and exquisite. Looking at the pattern of straw, she couldn't help but put it down.
"This is small and the price is not expensive, as long as fifty cents."
Jiang Liu smiled shyly and said to the old lady: "We soaked the thatch for several times before weaving to ensure the flexibility of the thatch. Durable, at least for five or six years."
"Weaving these things are the most ingenious women and children on our team. Weaving such a box will take at least half of their time. The most skilled women comrades will make five such small boxes at most a day. , This is not the first time to sort out thatch, so, we have decided what price should, should not be excessive."
Speaking of which, Jiang Liu was a little panicked: "We have a poor food harvest this year, just waiting for me to negotiate this supply contract, so that I can save money and give it to the country to improve and improve the hard living environment of our team members, I I also want to buy my daughter-in-law clam oil for comrades in your city so that her hands will not be covered with frostbite in winter."
The old ladies of Jiang Liu’s remarks who were originally thinking about killing the bargain with this honest man were embarrassed to speak again. After careful consideration of his remarks, they really felt that the price of fifty cents was not expensive.
The price of a similar-sized tung wood box in a department store is now between one yuan and three dollars. As for the prices of popular plastic boxes and enamel boxes, the price reported by Jiangliu is much lower than their previous price. Psychological expectations.
In particular, you don’t need to use tickets to buy this box from Jiangliu. Unlike other things in department stores, some industrial bonds or other types of bonds are more or less needed. This year, vouchers are rare, so think about it. Buy one for fifty cents. The little straw weave box is really not expensive at all.
In particular, buying a box yourself can help the simple rural fellows improve their lives. Let the honest and honest man buy a box of clam oil for his daughter-in-law, why bother.
The samples brought by Jiangliu were sold soon, except for the cheapest penny box, to five yuan, a rattan box for clothes, and some rare weddings with different prices. Supplies, guys, you choose one, I pick two, and I will choose soon. If Jiangliu insists on keeping the two samples as a sample for the department store manager, I am afraid they will all have to be emptied. Too.
"This comrade, you will sell these two boxes to this comrade who likes her."
The onlooker walked over, and handed the reluctant straw in his arms to the guests who liked it.
"I am the manager you are looking for. I have seen what you brought."
Afraid of Jiang Liu’s stubborn failure to sell, the manager introduced himself to himself.
In fact, Jiang Liu saw it as early as he appeared. Otherwise, what did he do to render the hard life of their team and the hard work of women comrades? Isn’t he trying to play the sympathy card on the basis of cheap goods and beautiful goods.
Don't underestimate the sense of responsibility and compassion of this era. In the name of the working people's country and the party, it is enough to shake the man in front of me.
"You are the manager, hello hello, comrade manager, since you have seen it, I will sell the last two items to this big sister."
The woman who was enough to be a grandmother of Jiangliu listened to Jiangliu calling her elder sister, and she couldn't keep her mouth closed.
Waiting for all the goods to be handled cleanly, Jiang Liu, with a dozen or so new bucks, went to the office with the manager. He spent most of the time in it.
Because it is still unclear whether these things are easy to sell in the mall for a long time, the manager just signed the first batch of supply agreements with him, and then follow the sales of these goods, and consider the future monthly purchases as appropriate.
At the same time, the price is also fixed, which is five to five cents lower than the price that Jiangliu sold to the old ladies, and the manager notified Jiangliu in advance to bring the brigade's certificate and seal when the next delivery. , And then this agreement can be regarded as provisional.
Doing this important event well, Jiang Liu also has a good mood to stroll around the city center of this era.
He first went to the state-run restaurant in the city to have an open stomach, a bowl of flying dragon soup, a bowl of meat wrapped in a pot, plus eight or two meals, and the river that he ate was standing fast.
Perhaps because of the guilty conscience of eating alone, he did not forget to go to the largest supply and marketing cooperative in the city, bought a big red plaid scarf for his daughter-in-law, and then bought a jar of vanishing cream and some walnut shortcakes as weekdays. When he was hungry, after buying these things, he also spent all his extra money on extra money, and posted a lot of food stamps and cloth tickets.
But now he is a man with a wife and a family. Naturally, he can’t do it like a bachelor before. It costs a lot of money, but Jiang Liu’s mood is very happy. He can’t wait to see his wife see a gift. The joy of time.

"Liuzi, you said you want to teach the women on our team to weave grass?"
Guan Niutan was smoking a dry smoke, and stopped the action when he heard the words of the river, and looked at him in disbelief and asked.
The popularity of the straw weaves made by Jiang Liu is a thing that many people on the team know. However, some people saw his eyesight after making money and made a batch of straws to sell at the market. Unfortunately, because of the single style and common patterns For the sake of reason, no one is willing to buy it at all, and it takes time to study the drafting. There are not so many idlers on the team, and naturally there is no way to grab business with the river.
Guan Daniel also knows that there are a lot of recent buzzwords on the team, but these are all from the unreliable people on the team who are not like people. Most people are in a position to find a family to support their lives. With a happy and gratifying attitude, he was only able to bear the pressure when the river flow, so he came out and said he was willing to teach everyone the skill of making money.
"Uncle, I'm sincere. I grew up in our team since I was a kid. Many aunts and uncles also care about me. I think my craft may really make money, but I can't be selfish, just thinking about myself. , I also want to take our entire team to a happy life."
Jiang Liu’s sincerity said that Guan Daniu was ashamed, because for him, I am afraid that he cannot be as generous and selfless as Jiang Liu.
"But if you give this skill to the people in our team, the people who need these straws are so little, there are more people who can do it, can you sell it?"
Guan Daniu was a bit worried.
"Uncle, you can rest assured, I have already said to the manager of the department store in the city, the good things on our team can be sent to the mall to sell, but people have high requirements for quality and do not accept defective products. I taught everyone , Before sending the goods, I have to check one by one."
Jiang Liu said a few tangles in his face: "That is, the craftsmanship of the straw weave is not unusual. What is really strange is some techniques I have researched myself. For someone who is careful, I will learn quickly and I will I’m afraid that people from other production teams have also learned this technique, and then people in department stores will not do business with our team, but choose other production teams."
"I think who dares!"
Guan Daniu stood up by patting the table. He was so happy at the moment that Jiang Liu said, saying that their team could dock with the department store in the city and deliver goods to other big malls. How big is this? Ability.
However, Jiang Liu’s scruples also reminded him that there were many girls from other communes and other production teams who married, and some daughters of other families married to other places. In case some of them learned the skill, What should I do if I pass it out?
"You can rest assured that your uncle Daniel is still a little prestigious. This matter has taken advantage of you. If anyone dares to eat inside, the whole family will leave me out of our team."
Although Daniel said this harshly, he also said firmly.
"And it won't let you lose money. You taught you the skills. In the future, everyone will pay you one-tenth of the tuition fee for every straw weave."
It is not easy for Jiang Liu to study these woven methods. In addition, his body needs to be adjusted, and later nutrition costs a lot. Now the people on the team inherit his feelings and should give him a little benefit.
"This is not good."
Jiang Liu thieves in his heart, but hesitates.
"Nothing bad, just listen to me."
Guan Daniu waved his hand and said, Jiangliu, this kid is too honest and honest, and he will take care of him more in the future, don't let him bully him.
"That line, I did realize that I was short of money, but I won't be able to keep it for just two years. The two years will be my tuition fees. After two years, everyone will do it or not. Straw weave, I don’t even draw it anymore."
Jiangliu forgets, even if the management of Daniel is strict, it is very difficult to completely ban the spread of the law. In addition, other production teams will not watch their team earn money, there will always be people Study the draft of their team.
In two years, he had saved some capital. As for the subsequent development, the river flow was still natural.
"Your kid is righteous."
Guan Daniu patted Jiang Liu on the shoulder, and had no words to admire.
Even if this matter is so well discussed, Guan Daniel decided to discuss with the accounting women director on the team, and then choose a time to open the team meeting to announce this matter.

"Sister-in-law, your scarf is so beautiful."
Wang Xuemei came out of the house and happened to see her sister-in-law, Xu Xiuxiu, who was photographed left and right in front of the well.
"This scarf is not cheap, oh yeah, this color is really beautiful, the big red one must line my skin."
Wang Xuemei's jealous eyes were almost red. When the big room was in such a good condition, he also bought a new scarf. Xu Xiuxiu did not look at his waxy skin for this color.
"Oh, tomorrow I'm thinking of going back to my maiden's house. If there is such a scarf, my maiden's family must feel that I have a good life in the Jiang family."
Wang Xuemei approached Xu Xiuxiu and pointedly said that she had forgotten what had been separated, and felt that as long as it was something she liked, Xu Xiuxiu's timid and cowardly character should be given to her obediently.
"Do you like this scarf?"
Why couldn't Xu Xiuxiu hear the meaning of her words, her hands clenched tightly with her scarf, her face a bit stiff and ugly.
"Like, I like it too much."
Wang Xuemei nodded again and again, staring at Xu Xiuxiu's neck scarf, waiting for her to release it and give it to her.
"Since my siblings like it, I will wear it every day when it's cold. Let my siblings rejoice when they see me."
After all, Xu Xiuxiu didn't wait for Wang Xuemei to react, rushed back to his room, and then quickly closed the door.
She actually upset her arrogant brother and sister!
At this time Xu Xiuxiu's heart thumped wildly.
She touched the soft and comfortable scarf, slid down the door and sat on the ground, and then laughed with her mouth covered.
