Great changes in the countryside

Chapter 230

Chen Yang said, "Old Yu, Lao Zhou, you are from the north. I don't know much about your northern countryside. I only talk about our southern countryside."

"First of all, there is a commonality in rural areas, that is, the existence of families based on surnames. Take our Chenjia Village as an example, with the three major surnames Chen Tongcai as the basis, and the other minor surnames are all moved in later, and have no status at all."

"The foundation of social relations in rural areas is the family. However, after decades of evolution and transformation since the founding of New China, the role of the family has been weakened, and it is difficult to affect daily activities. Those so-called patriarchs or elders can no longer play a role. decisive and decisive."

"Now the people who play a decisive role in the countryside are the cadres of the production brigade. According to the hierarchy you mentioned, the cadres of the brigade are at the highest level. Like the current party secretary of our brigade, who has been in that position for more than [-] years, as long as he If he is willing, no one will dare to challenge his authority."

"Secondly, those powerful factions. For example, the captains of the production teams and ordinary party members. They may not be able to take advantage of it, but they will definitely not be easily bullied. When distributing relief food and relief money, they It’s often easier to get cheaper.”

"In addition, there are so-called special households. For example, the military and martyrs, generally no one dares to bully them. For example, those families with someone who works in the city will generally not be bullied. Of course, they are wage-earners after all. , they are also objects of envy."

"There are also capable people who are skilled in a skill and are particularly good at it. They also have a very high status. Before my father's accident, my family's status in the village was very high, because my father had been a soldier for more than ten years. He has martial arts and is very High. Of course, my grandfather is also highly respected in the village, which is one of the reasons why my family has a good status."

"The other is the rich. Now in the countryside, the status of the rich is getting higher and higher, and they are more and more respected. But in the past, the identity of the rich was very embarrassing, because in the countryside, there were almost no rich people. people."

"In addition to the above, there is another group that can't be provoked, for example, people with many brothers. For example, there is a kind of people who can't afford to hide, that is, punks or village tyrants..."

Chen Yang talked for a long time.

Yu Jiefang sighed, "The countryside is so complicated."

Zhou Yugang added, "There is another phenomenon. In a village, almost all the relatives have broken bones and tendons. When holding weddings and weddings, sometimes the whole village comes. The more people come, the owner's face is full more light."

Yu Jiefang said, "No wonder, no wonder a friend told me not to underestimate rural cadres. He said that ordinary grassroots cadres are not as good as rural party secretary and team leader."

It was late at night, and everyone went back to their room to sleep on Tuesday.

Chen Yang came out this time and stayed in Shanghai until the end of November.

During this period, Chen Yang walked back and forth between Shanghai and Haimen several times.

Because the No. 405 ship regards the transfer of passengers' funds as a business, and sends special personnel to escort them every time, the safety factor is greatly improved.

With no worries, Chen Yang's business is getting bigger and bigger.

In the past, it was one or two thousand per day, and five or sixty thousand per month.

Now at least 15 a day, and the monthly shipment is more than [-] yuan.

Originally, it only sold women's accessories, but now the wholesale of small commodities has expanded to more than 1000 types in five categories.

All in all, what sells best.

But there can never be exclusivity.

Chen Yang is just a pioneer. His business in Shanghai is booming, so it is natural for someone to imitate and follow up.

Including Ye Zhengfang.

Ye Zhengfang had already separated from Chen Yang, which was agreed by Chen Yang.He called his sister and brother-in-law, and brought his wife to Shanghai.

Although the business is not big enough, only one-fifth of Chen Yang's, it can be regarded as flourishing.

According to Chen Yang's estimate, there are not fifty, but at least thirty, colleagues like Ye Zhengfang who are engaged in the wholesale of small commodities in Shanghai.

Chen Yang knew that it wouldn't be long before there would be fierce competition in this business, and the profit would soon approach ten percent or less.

Chen Yang was mentally prepared for this. After all, he had read a lot recently and knew a little about the basic laws of economics.

When any industry, or business, produces according to the plan, it is called a planned economy.

When a certain industry has just been liberalized, it is called a commodity economy.

And once a certain industry becomes saturated and there is competition, it means that the market economy has arrived.

Chen Yang must go home.

Before going home, Chen Yang wanted to have a talk with the proprietress Ye Jing.

At night, Ye Jing didn't go home.Knowing that Chen Yang was going home, she went out and bought some vegetables as a farewell party for Chen Yang.

Sweet and sour pork ribs, sweet and sour carp, fried pork slices, and scrambled eggs are all Chen Yang's favorite dishes.

"Xiao Chen, eat more."

"Sister, put more salt next time."

Ye Jing gave Chen Yang a white look, "Country people, eating too much salt is not good for your health."

Chen Yang smiled, "By the way, has your father's paper been published yet?"

"It has been published. He also said that when he asks you to come to his house, he will celebrate it."

"Then wait for me to come back."

Ye Jing asked with a smile, "The question is, will you come back?"

"Of course, sure. Sister, don't worry, doing business to make money is my lifelong career."

"Okay, my sister has decided to follow you."

"Boss, thank you for your trust."

"Boss, thank you for choosing me."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and drank the old wine in the glass.

"Sister, I want to talk to you about business."

"Old rules, I'll listen to what you say." Ye Jing poured wine for Chen Yang.

"In the future, our business will not be easy to do. The small commodities shipped to Shanghai every day have exceeded the absorption capacity of the SH market. They are not only spreading to the suburbs below Shanghai, but also to the surrounding Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions."

Ye Jing nodded, "I feel this too."

"Under this situation, the next development trend must be competition among peers. And under the condition of unchanged commodity conditions, the only means of competition is price."

Ye Jing nodded again, "That is to say, our next strategy is to actively lower prices, stabilize our market share, and follow the path of small profits but quick turnover."

Chen Yang nodded with a smile, "Miss Boss, you know everything, so I'm talking for nothing."

Ye Jing smiled and said: "The boss's teachings, the boss's wife will always remember them in her heart."

Chen Yang discovered that Ye Jing was already on the right track, and there was no need for him to lead the way.

In the early morning of the next day, Chen Yang boarded the No. 405 ship.

The female captain Li Qin went on vacation.

Chen Yang didn't play cards, didn't play foolishly, and honestly stayed on the boat for three days and three nights.

After disembarking from Haimen Port, head to Luqiao Street first, and after paying the bills to the merchants, it is almost four o'clock in the afternoon.

Chen Yang's bicycles are stored on Luqiao Street.

Chen Yang bought some snacks on the street, and then rode his bicycle home.

Because I rode slowly, it was evening when I got home.

As soon as he entered the village entrance, Chen Yang vaguely saw two people wrestling in the woods not far away.
