Chapter 42
After Mr. Long went out, Ma Yaozhong, who sat beside him silently for a long time, asked, "Brother-in-law, do you think this project is easy to do? Why do I feel like I'm dreaming?"

Lu Tu smiled and asked, "What's the matter? Why do you say that?"

Ma Yaozhong said with a confused face: "I just listened to it for a long time, but I didn't fully understand it. Do you want to open a factory? Just to process the prickly pear fruit? Is it so easy to open a factory? We don't have much money .”

Lu Tu shook his head with a smile, picked up the wine bowl and touched him, and said: "We don't call this a factory, but a small family workshop. It doesn't cost much, I guess I have tens of thousands of yuan, so it should be It can be started. But if it works well, it may not be less profitable than opening a factory. The key is to see the size of the scale. We will earn more if we sell more, and we will make more if we sell less...well, it will be an increase for Grandpa Long and the others. It’s paid, and it doesn’t cost anything anyway.”

He is not very interested in opening a factory. Without the strength, he will not do such ambitious things.But Professor Liu's words reminded him that the family workshop model is very suitable for the production model of prickly pear dried fruit!
After opening his mind, he would naturally not miss this opportunity, and immediately encouraged Grandpa Long to take the lead in operating it.Although I don't know if Grandpa Long will agree, but judging from the way he just went out, he should go to the village chief Long to discuss it, which shows that the old man is still a little moved.

Professor Liu nodded and said: "Your idea is right! Don't be greedy for everything, take your time, after the market opens, there is still time to expand the scale!"

He thought for a while and continued, "If sealing ring packaging bags are used, I don't think the equipment will cost much, just buy a few sealing machines. At most, we can pay for some packaging and printing materials, and the whole project will be completed. Ready to start."

His views on the operation of the project are similar to those of Lu Tu. Brother Long is responsible for organizing the collection and packaging of prickly pear dried fruits. He can handle the printing and packaging issues by himself. As for sales, just leave it to Lu Tu and the young man next to him.

Their team can handle everything from production and processing to packaging and sales.This kind of good project is hard to find even with a lantern, why hasn't it been discovered before?
Professor Liu couldn't help but glance at Lu Tu, it was all thanks to the young man in front of him!
He couldn't help but rejoice in his heart, thanks to the students making a fuss!If he didn't change his tour guide, how could he know Lu Tu again?If you don't know Lu Tu, how can there be a prickly pear dried fruit project?

Ma Yaozhong also figured it out at this time, stood up excitedly, and laughed, "If you want me to say, we don't need to buy a sealing machine, just light a candle and seal it with a saw blade! Even if we buy the kind of sealing machine You can buy 5000 bags for 1 yuan, which is enough for us to use for a long time! Brother-in-law, this project can be done, and it will definitely make money!"

Lu Tu couldn't help laughing.

Lighting candles and sealing bags with a saw blade, as he did when he was a child.At that time, my family was poor, and every household bought white sugar in bulk, and the store would give away a dozen small plastic bags.In the evening, he and his wife bagged it together, lighted a candle and sealed it with a saw blade, and that was what he did.Packed white sugar can be used as a gift during festivals.This phenomenon lasted until the late 90s before it gradually disappeared.

"It's hard to say now, I can only say that the prospects are very good, and we need to do the following things step by step. Let's see what attitude Grandpa Long has."

Mr. Long opened the door and came in, followed by the village head, Long Xiaotian.Lu Tu guessed right, as expected he was looking for someone.

"What attitude can I have? I don't understand this thing! Last time, Xiao Lu, you said that you would help the village find projects, but how long has it been? You brought people to the door! No matter what, as long as If you said you were capable, you didn’t say anything, I’ll fight this old bone, and I’ll support you to the end! That’s it, if you have anything to talk about, you can talk to Xiaotian!”

Mr. Long's statement was mixed with Miao dialect, and under Ma Yaozhong's translation, Lu Tu heard it clearly, and couldn't help but blush.

This is the Miao family!
Whoever treats him well, he treats him wholeheartedly!

How long has it been since you felt this kind of unreserved trust?
Even Long Lanxiang, or his relatives, might not be so thorough, right?
After eating the reassurance pill given by Mr. Long, everyone felt relaxed a lot, and the next step is nothing more than talking about what should be done.

Long Xiaotian took out a dry pipe, filled a pot of cigarettes, and was about to light it, but the old man snatched it away, and reprimanded him: "This smoke is choking, don't smoke here."

After finishing speaking, he walked to the door of the room, lit the fire, and started to smoke.

Miao people, regardless of gender, like to smoke. Sometimes children smoke for fun, and adults don't care when they see it.He has long been addicted to smoking, but the customers don't smoke, and he himself is embarrassed to smoke, so he has been holding back until now.

Long Xiaotian looked at his old father helplessly, rubbed his hands, dragged the chair and sat down.

Mayaozhong quickly took out King Furong and handed it over, "Brother Long, come on, smoke this. Grandpa is not used to smoking, so he won't smoke if I give it to him."

Long Xiaotian took the cigarette, and said with a smile: "Xiaoyao, why did you change your name to Grandpa? Didn't you always call him Uncle before?"

Mayaozhong squinted at Lu Tu, "It's all my brother-in-law's fault, he insisted on calling grandpa last time, so I can't fight against him!"

Long Xiaotian laughed loudly, leaned forward and patted Lu Tu's shoulder, "Xiao Lu, your Long Lanxiang always calls me brother. You are like this, which makes it difficult for me!"

Lu Tu smiled and said, "Brother Long, I heard Lan Xiang talk about you, we have different opinions, and they don't affect each other!"

Sometimes things are like this, once you start, there is no going back.If he changes his words at this time, everyone will feel embarrassed, it's better to keep the status quo, each other is the best excuse.

Ma Yaozhong smiled and said: "Yes, yes, this is the best! Brother Long, do you think this can be done? How should the shareholding ratio be divided?"

He was impatient and couldn't hold back the thoughts in his heart long ago, so he couldn't wait to throw out the question.

Long Xiaotian took a puff of cigarette, took a long breath, and said: "You guys go ahead, I still can't figure it out."

Ma Yaozhong spoke quickly about the project, raised his chin and said, "How about it, Brother Long, is my brother-in-law amazing? Just his brain, you and I combined, are not enough to watch!"

Lu Tu hurriedly said: "No, no, this is actually all thanks to Professor Liu! If you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have known that prickly pear fruit was so valuable. Brother Long, this project is very operable. If it works well, it will definitely bring a lot of income to the villagers of the Miao Village.”

Long Xiaotian thought for a while and asked, "Then how much do you plan to sell it for?"

Lu Tu said with confidence: "250 grams of packaging, the retail price is 20 yuan, and the wholesale price is 10 yuan! The minimum shipping price cannot be less than 8 yuan."

"hiss!"

The other three gasped at the same time.

Long Xiaotian stood up, and said with a flushed face: "Do it! It must be done! I'll go call the villagers and ask them to send over all the stocks at home!"

Lu Tu stopped him and said, "Brother Long, don't worry! It's not too late to start taking action after our plan is finalized."

Professor Liu nodded in agreement, "For this kind of product, only by following the brand route can we sell at a high price! We can design the packaging first, and after the packaging bag is produced, there is still time to receive the goods! There is also a sales plan, which must be prepared in advance. Get ready, or else, does anyone know how to sell this product for you?"

Long Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, touched the back of his head, and said with a sneer: "Oh, is there still trouble? All right! Then I will do what you say!"

Professor Liu pointed to Lu Tu and said, "Xiao Lu, don't hide it at this time! I'm going back to Guizhou tomorrow, and I don't have much time to stay here. In my opinion, it's better to leave the whole project to you to plan As for us, we all follow your command, what do you think?"

Neither Long Xiaotian nor Mayaozhong had any objections, and Lu Tu could only nod his head in agreement when he saw this.

Afterwards, under the auspices of Lu Tu, after intense discussions, the four of them finally decided on the intention to start a joint venture and the plan for the division of shares: Long Xiaotian invested 1 yuan to be responsible for collecting and packaging dried prickly pears, accounting for 60 yuan. 20% of the shares; Lu Tu and Mayaozhong invested in technology and are responsible for sales, each holding [-]% ​​of the shares.Professor Liu helps guide the planting of prickly pear trees and does not take up any shares. He will only charge some guidance fees after the company is established.

In addition, Lu Tu is also responsible for the specific implementation plan and sales plan. After the plan is finalized, the project can be officially launched!

The name of the company is Fenghuang County Xiaotian Food Co., Ltd., and the brand name is Tiantian Dried Prickly Pear.

After talking about the business, it was getting late, and the students outside were making noise again, and several people came to spy on the "military situation".

Lu Tu smiled and said, "Brother Long, Xiaoyao, I have something to ask you to do."

Long Xiaotian waved his hand and said, "What's the matter? Tell me! I won't let you become a major shareholder, I've never seen such a stupid person like you!"

Lu Tu shook his head and smiled, "It was originally to satisfy Grandpa Long's wish that he thought of running this project. How can I do it for him?"

He thought for a while and then said, "It's about our cooperation. Can you stop telling Long Lanxiang first? I'll give her a surprise when I think about it!"

Ma Yaozhong laughed and said, "Hey, that's it? I wondered why! Brother-in-law, don't worry, I won't tell you if you kill me!"

Long Xiaotian pointed at Lu Tu, smiled and nodded in agreement.

Professor Liu stood up and said, "We've finished talking, so let's withdraw first!"

He is very satisfied with this journey now. Although he does not take a share, he still gains a lot.Moreover, he has already decided on the candidate for his student's prickly pear wine sales, and it must be Lu Tu!There is no need to worry about it right now, as long as the time is right, the cooperation will be reached if the boat is pushed along.

After agreeing on a time for the next meeting, Lu Tu and Mayaozhong led the team to leave Zaogang Miao Village by car.

Lu Tu looked back, the setting sun was setting, and the Miao Village was shrouded in a hazy brilliance, and the roofs of green bricks and black tiles were rising from cooking smoke. In the misty smoke, the cornices seemed to be about to spread their wings and soar.
