Manor Romance

Chapter 99 Advice
"It is because they are so powerful that we have to keep improving. Sheep who have never encountered wolves will not grow up healthy. We can't be like these strawberries, starting from seeds, growing under the best conditions, and there is no wind all the way. No rain, blossoms and fruits, are you right?" Yunli expressed his feelings, he doesn't like wolves, but in life, it is inevitable to encounter all kinds of wolves, the most important thing is to make yourself stronger.

After getting in touch with her during this period of time, Sun Mei couldn't help but admire Yunli's knowledge, insights, and even his way of dealing with things. No wonder Lu Ci was "dedicated" to him. Unfortunately, as the old saying goes, gold has no bare feet, and no one is perfect. Up to now, she still mistakenly thinks Yunli is a liar in love, and her attitude towards him has not changed much.

In her eyes, Yunli is a wolf, and Lu Ci is a sheep, and the sheep can only be bullied. If one day the wolf gets tired of it, one can imagine what will happen to the sheep.Lu Ci's condition was not bad, he was hardworking and kind, and his appearance was even more outstanding, but he sent himself into the arms of wolves, which made Sun Mei regretful and sad, and her current experience was not much better than Lu Ci's.

All the changes in Sun Mei's facial expression fell into Yunli's eyes, thinking that this young lady with a strong imagination is trying to give herself some bad name, so she has to stop her quickly, so she changed the subject and said: "You I majored in economics and management, can you give me some suggestions for Banlu Manor so that I can carry out some projects to increase income."

When talking about her major, Sun Mei immediately got excited and replied: "Well, in terms of the agricultural and animal husbandry-driven economic structure of the manor, buying and selling agricultural products is a low-level economic activity, but this is also the foundation of the manor, and it cannot be abandoned. If you want to step into the middle class, you have to have your own characteristic production. For example, you can process and package fruits and vegetables, engrave the brand of your own manor, and then sell them. This is easier to establish and consolidate the brand. You can enjoy the brand premium."

Yun Li shook his head and said, "Now we don't have our own sales channels, we can only rely on others to digest the products, just like the strawberries in this park, when they are ripe and picked, they will be given priority to the cooperative hotels. , can only find other sales outlets, but cannot decide the market for the product by itself, and the pricing is also subject to the constraints of the other party.”

"So, if you want to go further, you should start to develop your own sales channels. E-commerce is a good choice. Isn't online shopping popular now? In addition to hotels, you can also find chain supermarkets, or even It is also possible to seek export sales." Sun Mei continued to suggest.

Lu Ci also couldn't help but say: "It's not as easy as it is said, it's good to find a stable partner, if you want to process the products yourself, the time and procedures are too cumbersome, and it also requires a lot of manpower. If you don’t run a factory, you shouldn’t have to think about it.”

Yunli nodded in agreement and said, "That's true. We never thought about turning the manor into an assembly line factory, but we can consider making some special products to enhance the brand of the manor, such as the dried shrimp we made last time. It’s a good entry point.”

"Okay? When peeling the shrimp shells, who was tired and complained, saying that this is not a job done by humans, but the dried shrimps are finished, and the chopsticks are faster than anyone else." Lu Ci teased.

"I, I'm helping Aunt Fang and Shen Hong to taste the taste. If it doesn't taste good, I won't send it to them. Besides, I peel no fewer shrimp shells than you do." Speaking of his embarrassing things, Yunli had no choice but to be honest. Face justified.

Lu Ci tightened his net bag and opened his mouth, straightened a plant that was lying on the pipe, and continued to smile: "Of course it is delicious, otherwise why would the remaining dried shrimps have disappeared before the Chinese New Year? Could it be that there are little mice in our bamboo building?"

When Lu Ci said this, Yun Li's face turned red again, and he couldn't find any excuses to refute, he was not a greedy person, but the taste of dried bamboo prawns was indeed extremely tempting , Now thinking about it can make people move their index fingers. The taste is not much inferior to wild ducks. If it enters the market, it will undoubtedly sell well.

"Hey, you two are enough. You are talking about business. Don't flirt here. Leave some time for me to finish the main point." Seeing the two of them playing together, Sun Mei was envious and at the same time It's because of anger, he hummed dissatisfiedly.

Yunli and Lu Ci immediately calmed down and put on a look of being educated. Then Sun Mei continued: "After the middle layer is finished, it should be the upper layer. There is a saying in economics that the economic base determines the superstructure. To put it bluntly, it is the material Determine consciousness, what material the manor can provide to guests will determine their impression of the manor, so to enter the upper economic level, what you provide to guests must also be upper-level products.”

These words sound very profound, but they are easy to understand. Both Yunli and Lu Ci understand the core idea that Sun Mei wants to express. Yunli nodded and said: "Rome was not built in a day, and the economic foundation cannot be built overnight. Adjust the planting and breeding structure to enrich the diversity, but now we can only stop at this stage."

"After these Phnom Penh beauties are mature, they should be regarded as upper-middle-level products. As for the others, tea should be regarded as one, and they can also develop gardens and brew wine." Lu Ci analyzed.

Sun Mei stretched out her scallion-like index finger and shook it, and added: "Hey, you said that those are pediatrics. When the manor has enough brand awareness, it can develop into tourism, real estate, finance and even entertainment. That's called the upper class." The economy, that is called a business empire, and that is what you should strive for."

Sun Mei spoke logically and immersed herself in her fantasy, while Yunli and Lu Ci looked at each other with a smile, knowing that her idea could not happen here in Spotted Deer Manor. This was not Yunli's original intention. In terms of superstructure, Yunli had already I have my own idea, but it has not yet reached the stage where it can be implemented.

The chatterbox opened, and Sun Mei also brought the topic to her distress, and sighed: "Sometimes I really envy you, you can do what you like, and be with the people you like, this feeling is so good."

"Don't be discouraged because of a momentary setback, and don't shrink back because of a little obstacle. Everyone will have a downturn, and adversity can make people grow, right?" Lu Ci comforted, Yunli never thought that she would be so rational Come to comfort people.

"You don't understand, this is not a valley or a peak at all, it's just a fork in the road, a fork in which you can't turn back, no matter how you choose, it's not right, no matter how you think about it, you can't make a decision." Sun Mei said distressedly.

Yunli stood on the push rack, sorting out the strawberry plants on the upper pipe, thought for a while, and said: "Actually, I shouldn't interrupt, but you gave me so many suggestions just now, so I will also express my own opinion." Well, in any case, family is the most important thing. Ideals, love, and desires cannot replace the position of family. If you don’t think so, it proves that you haven’t understood the concept of home, and you haven’t realized what family gives you. Giving, likewise, if someone asks you to choose between your family and him, then he will never be your family, right?"

Sun Mei stopped what she was doing, raised her head and stared at Yunli on the push shelf, and said excitedly, "Don't pretend to be superior and preach to me, father, mother, grandparents, I don't care about their feelings." I know very well that you, an outsider, have no right to make irresponsible remarks, even if I go out with others and pursue my own ideals, wouldn't it be compatible with my family?"

She has been under more and more pressure recently. Last night was New Year's Eve. It was a day of celebration and reunion, but her boyfriend called last night and mentioned graduation. The two had an argument over this and broke up unhappy , She didn't sleep well all night, so she woke up so early today.Sun Mei wanted to speak out and let the two of them be her audience to vent, but Yun Li's words irritated her.

Yun Li also stopped the work in his hands, and replied: "Whether you can be compatible or not depends on conversation and communication. I think Mr. Sun and the others are quite open-minded. You should sit down and talk about things like this. It’s hard to find a solution, isn’t it?”

Sun Mei snorted coldly, and said disdainfully: "You should take care of your own affairs, you don't need to worry about my affairs, and don't say a word to my grandparents, or I will burn your bamboo building."

Yun Li got down from the pushing frame, knowing that she was the young lady who had lost her temper, and he didn't want to argue with her anymore. Leaving is the best way, but when he left, he still couldn't help but persuade him: "Actually, the family is the most important thing." What you care about is whether you are doing well and whether you still have them in your heart. If you can convey these two points in place, many problems can be solved easily."

After saying that, he turned around and left, but Sun Mei was so angry that she didn't listen at all, stomped her feet and said, "If you can't say it, you run away, it's really rude, and you want to teach me, that person who graduated from a university, but came to such a remote place Plowing the fields, does it mean that his parents have no objections, and they have no conflicts at all?"

"He is an orphan. He was abandoned when he was born. Naturally, he will not have parents...I am the same." Lu Ci explained with a wry smile, then continued to do the work at hand, and soon he raised a ladder with water. After checking the frame, continue to the next one, while Sun Mei stayed where she was, with her head down, wondering what she was thinking.

Brother Chen and the others had a great time, it was not easy to get together once, and they probably won’t be back for two days, the three of them still ate together, sometimes bickering, and they didn’t get overwhelmed by the dispute in Jifang Garden in the morning. Alienation is just that everyone tacitly does not talk about that topic.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, it was the annual Double Rice Festival. Not only Yunli, but Lu Ci and Sun Mei were also invited to participate this year. Lu Ci hadn't planned to go at all. She didn't like this kind of lively event very much. There are still many jobs in the garden, but Sun Mei is very interested in going to participate, and dragged her to go.
