Great changes in the countryside

Chapter 243 It's a Mess
Cai Chaoyang and Cai Guoping were doing very lively.

But the money is also flowing out like running water.

A total of $500 was raised.

The wall was almost finished, and the two found that they had already spent more than 500 yuan.

With less than a thousand left, what else can I do?
You know, the yellow bricks and sand, as well as the wages of the plasterer, still owe a total of more than 500 yuan.

As soon as the two discuss it, let's not talk about anything else, and do the easiest thing to do first.

raise pigs.

The two hired three people from the village and bought sixty piglets.

Sixty piglets, more than 400 yuan.

There was only 250 left in the account, and the two paid out of their own pockets, each taking [-], to fill up the hole first.

The piglets have been bought, and the pig raisers are in place, but the feed for the pigs has not yet been provided.

At that time, pigs were raised, and the main feed for pigs was broken rice and grain husks, of which grain husks accounted for more than 90.00%.

Grain husk is also called rice bran, and it is found in every household.

The two thought of a way to buy rice bran from the villagers.

Most of the villagers raise pigs at home and do not have a lot of rice bran, so they should go to the market to buy it.

You can go to the market to buy, you need to pay cash.

There is no money in the account.

The two thought of a way to buy rice bran from the villagers on credit, and the price was increased by [-]% on the basis of the market price.

The feed problem is temporarily resolved.

The pig farm is set up.

But what about the other two factories?
No Money.

If you have money, you can travel the world, but if you don't have money, you can't move an inch.

Looking at the whole village, there are only three real rich people, the brothers Chen Yang, Chen Bing, and Tong Laogui.

Tong Laogui has already squeezed out 1000 yuan, and it is impossible to squeeze out more.

Chen Bing was even more cunning than his elder brother Chen Yang, and besides, he worked in a soap factory and a shoe factory, so he would not borrow money if he had money on hand.

Only Chen Yang has money.

But Cai Chaoyang understood too well that he couldn't borrow any of Chen Yang's money.

Cai Chaoyang and Cai Guoping were worried about having no money.

In Shanghai, Chen Yang was worried about having too much money.

The proprietress Ye Jing is a very good partner. She partnered with Chen Yang and agreed that she would get one and Chen Yang would get two of the money she made, and she would not take a penny more.

The two have accumulated more than [-] funds in hand.

Now Chen Yang has established a reputation in the Luqiao market, he can buy goods without money, and the debt can last up to one month.

In other words, Chen Yang no longer needs so much money to start a business.

Besides, there have been several robberies on the line from Shanghai to Haimen, and the safety factor is too low for carrying huge amounts of money with you.

That night, Chen Yang discussed with Ye Jing and entrusted her to keep his money.

Ye Jing giggled, "Brother, you are so stupid."

Chen Yang also laughed, "I'm really stupid sometimes."

"You take the money home, except for the business part, the rest must be deposited in the bank."

Chen Yang nodded, "I will also keep a small part for private lending."

"The bank over there is a bank, but the bank in Shanghai is not a bank anymore?"

Chen Yang suddenly realized, "Yes, why didn't I think of that."

Ye Jing said, "Anyway, if you have money, saving some of it here will not affect your business there. Besides, if you do business in Shanghai in the future, it will be convenient for you to use the money."

Just do it.

The next day, accompanied by Ye Jing, Chen Yang came to the nearby Construction Bank.

At that time, there was no ID card, and Chen Yang opened an account in a different place, and he didn't have a household registration book, so he only had a certificate to use.

Chen Yang opened two accounts in China Construction Bank under his own name, one with a three-year fixed deposit, depositing two-thirds, and the other demand deposit, depositing one-third.

With so much cash in the bank, Chen Yang felt relieved.

"Brother, more and more people are joining our industry. Last time your friend Ye Zhengfang and his wife came over. According to Ye Zhengfang, we have at least sixty competitors."

"What is our profit margin now?"

"Probably around 15.00%."

"Not bad. What about our shipments?"

"Compared with before the Spring Festival, it has decreased slightly."

Chen Yang thought for a while.

"We still have to use the price as a weapon. Sister, you lower the wholesale price, little by little, to ensure our competitiveness."

"Well, how low can it go?"

"5.00% profit rate. Now it is 15.00% profit rate. From 15.00% to 5.00%, you can slowly reduce it, and it can last at least one year."

Ye Jing nodded and said, "Anyway, I'll follow your arrangement."

Chen Yang said, "I estimate that after a year, we will be able to wholesale other things."

"what?"

"I can't say it yet, because it hasn't been fully settled yet. Sister, you will be the first to know when it is settled."

Ye Jing gave Chen Yang an angry look, "Anyway, anyway, you can't dump me."

"Hehe...how can I be. Without you as the lady boss, how could I be the boss."

The two talked and laughed, and discussed everything that should be discussed.

This time when he came to Shanghai, Chen Yang stayed for more than two months. When he returned home, it was already April [-]rd in the Gregorian calendar.

There are changes at home, and there are changes in the village.

The second brother's shoe factory is well-run, with a total of eleven male and female workers.

What Chen Yang didn't expect was that the footwear chosen by the second brother was cloth shoes that even ordinary old ladies could make.

But Chen Yang also knew that the profit of cloth shoes was relatively lowest.

Chen Yang didn't understand how the shrewd second brother started by making cloth shoes.

At night, Chen Yang called his second brother upstairs.

"Third, do you make money by making cloth shoes?"

The second brother said, "I did a serious calculation, and the profit margin is about 5.00% to [-]% after excluding all costs."

"If you are not careful, you will not make money or lose money."

"Yes, I'm doing my best now."

Chen Yang was curious, "Then why do you make cloth shoes instead of other shoes?"

The second brother smiled, "Brother, you taught me this, why did you forget?"

"What have I taught you?"

"From simplicity to complexity. Cloth shoes are the simplest. I want to start with the simplest ones first, to experience and accumulate some experience."

Chen Yang nodded, "You're much smarter, boy. However, don't stick to the rules. Sometimes, you can advance in leaps and bounds."

"Brother, you have a good relationship with Cai Fuman. Can you tell me and let him lead me."

"Okay, I'll go to his house some other day."

After talking about family affairs, let's talk about village affairs.

"Old man, how is the village?"

The second younger brother laughed, "Need to say anything, it's just eight words, it's a mess, it's out of control."

Chen Yang said solemnly, "Third son, don't gloat about the affairs of the village."

"Oh, I remember."

"Tell me, why is it such a mess and out of control?"

The second brother said, "First of all, I raised 35 pigs, and I don't know what disease they got, and [-] of them died. Now it is a heavy loss."

Chen Yang frowned, "What happened. There is a veterinarian in the village, it shouldn't be."
