Rebirth of Rural Literary Life

Chapter 174 Letter from "Contemporary"

Han Zhaokun didn't understand what He Ping meant, "What do you mean getting in?"

"Look, this year the chicken farms in Pingxian County are pretty much the same, not to mention blooming everywhere. If we don't kill them, how can we make money? Although I don't want to do this, but killing people's money is like killing their parents. Since they dare to follow suit , you have to be prepared to be beaten to the ground.”

He Ping's thought was very simple. He told the old captain that lowering the price was a last resort. In fact, lowering the price was also the most effective, simple and rude way to attack the opponent.

With the current scale and cost advantages of the Hantun chicken farm, it is no problem to directly suppress the price of the newly-built chicken farm to death. When the big players are down, the remaining retail investors are naturally nothing to worry about. The market is still their Hantun. Tun Chicken Farm has the right to say.

Low-price dumping has always been the favorite game of capital, and in essence, Internet companies of later generations also play this kind of thing.First hit the opponent with free/low price, acquire users, wait until the territory is well established, the opponent is exhausted, and the user forms a certain consumption habit, which is the hunting time.

Limited by the logistics conditions and costs of this era, it is difficult for eggs from other places to enter the Yingcheng area. Since they come in, they do not have a cost advantage and only they can attack. Therefore, He Ping and the others can attack and retreat.

He Ping will not think that dumping this set of equipment at a low price to deal with several rural chicken farms is an anti-aircraft gun to kill mosquitoes. When they really compete with you in the market, customers will buy the same thing regardless of the size of your chicken farm. It's not buying. How many companies in the West looked up to the high-end companies in later generations were squeezed into bankruptcy by their counterparts who started from small workshops in the South.

"A lion fights a rabbit with all its strength. The kindness to the enemy is the greatest cruelty to oneself."

Han Zhaokun repeated these two sentences of He Ping. If the conversation between He Ping and Hao Jianjun at Hao Jianjun’s house before opened the window for Han Zhaokun to do business, then these two sentences of He Ping were a ringing bell for Han Zhaokun. Alarm bells, the cruelty of the business field is unimaginable to ordinary people, a diamond that may be worth a lot today may be a piece of glass with edges and corners tomorrow.

After the fifteenth day, as the weather warmed in spring and flowers bloomed, the vast Northeast Plain, which had been dormant for a winter, gradually revived.

Recently, the boys in the team who went out to sell eggs have been inquiring about the outside news. With bicycles, their range of sales has become wider, covering all communes and brigades in Ping County.

Every commune has set up chicken farms one after another, but the largest one is just like He Ping’s chicken farm just now. The strangest thing is that there are individual production teams that gather chickens from various families in the production team together .

On the surface, in the early spring of 81, the entire Pingxian County seemed to be caught in the tide of raising chickens. The legend of getting rich by dividing thousands of yuan a year was hugely attractive to anyone in this era.

With the definite news, He Ping let go of his hanging heart. So far, he hasn't seen any competitors that pose a threat to them.

In the face of these competitors, the best thing he can do now is to refine his internal strength, further reduce the cost of the chicken farm, improve the quality, and deal a fatal blow to his competitors at the moment before their eggs hit the market.

"He Ping!"

The postman Kan Lijun of the commune parked his bicycle at the gate of the chicken farm and called He Ping at the gate.

A working member heard the call and informed He Ping who was studying egg packaging in the warehouse.

"Lijun, do you have a letter from me?"

"Well, here it is."

He Ping was a little curious, could it be another letter from the publishing house informing the novel to be printed?

"Contemporary?"

He read the name on the envelope. Isn't this the magazine where he published the novel "Soul and Flesh" for the first time when he traveled across time? He said that he later thought that the fee they gave was low, so he never submitted any more manuscripts to them.

"Let's go!" The letter was delivered, and Kan Lijun stepped on his bicycle and left.

"See you next time."

He Ping tore open the envelope and took out the letter paper inside.

The content of the letter was not long, but He Ping read it very carefully, because the content of the letter really caught him by surprise.

There is a director who has taken a fancy to the novel "Spirit and Flesh", and hopes to change it into a movie, and it is the great director Xie Jin.

Although He Ping has rarely seen director Xie Jin's works, he is familiar with his name, and "Spirit and Flesh" was changed into a movie through the hands of director Xie Jin in later generations. "This novel is still in his favor, which cannot but be said to be an arrangement of fate in the dark.

The novel has been published, and it has also been adapted for film and television. After 40 years, will we be able to have a starting platinum appointment?He Ping thought in a crooked way.

While He Ping was wandering around the world with the letter paper, members with good deeds gathered together.

Now the members have already summed up their experience, but whenever He Ping receives a letter, it must be good news.

"What is written here?"

"The novel is published again? Or should I send you the manuscript fee?"

He Ping spread the letter paper and said indifferently: "It's nothing, it's just that a director named Xie Jin fell in love with the novel I published before, and wanted to make it into a movie."

ho~
The first reaction of the members was that this kid was bragging, but when they thought about He Ping's previous style, they couldn't help being suspicious.

"Make it into a movie? What kind of film will it be? Is it like a real battle?"

"Really? You won't be deceived, kid?"

He Ping tossed the letter paper, "Don't believe me put it on hold, it is said that Shanghai Film Studio made a special call to their editorial department."

"Shanghai Film Studio? Is it the one that made Love in Lushan?"

"Is that true? I said that the name Xie Jin is so familiar. Didn't he film "Women's Basketball No. [-]" and "Red Detachment of Women"?"

"Hey, okay, He Ping! This time I really woke up. Such a big director wants to shoot your novel. Will you become a famous writer all over the country in the future?"

"What's the future? He Ping is also well-known all over the country. You didn't know about the "China Youth" incident last year. In the noisy city, He Ping received letters in sacks of sacks."

The members of the commune chattered around He Ping, and He Ping was thinking about the pros and cons of this matter.

He knew that "Spirit and Flesh" was adapted into a movie, and he also made the two male and female protagonists who were in their youth popular at the time.

This letter from the editorial department attached the contact information of Shanghai Film Studio, asking He Ping to call them and discuss the adaptation of "Spirit and Flesh".

There is one thing to say, it is definitely a good thing that literary works can be adapted into film and television, but I don’t know how much the Shanghai Film Studio can pay for the adaptation.

The fame of the novel has only advantages and no disadvantages for He Ping, and the cost of adaptation seems to be of little use.

Worth a try.

He Ping stuffed the letter into his pocket and got on his bicycle. He was going to make a call to the commune to see what was going on.
