Chapter 290 Business Opportunities
"You kid, you've been bragging all day long. Come on, tell me what inspiration you got from visiting the Canton Fair. The Canton Fair is crowded and messy, so it's weird to have inspiration!" Sun Lianying scolded with a smile.
"Uncle Sun, don't tell me, there is a reason why I visited the Canton Fair. Because of the U.S. blockade, we rarely know about world affairs. I gained a lot from going to Yangcheng this time." Li Wen quibbled with a smile.
In fact, Li Wen actually wrote an article about the Canton Fair, but he did not dare to publish it. It is better to publish less articles on these sensitive issues these days.
"Tell me what you gained." Sun Lianying smiled and threw a cigarette to Li Wen, preparing to listen to the show.
"Uncle Sun, I have seen a business opportunity, and it is also a business opportunity to earn foreign exchange. However, this business opportunity is difficult to obtain and easy to lose." Li Wen rolled his eyes and took it into consideration.
Li Wenke didn't say anything. He really discovered a lot of business opportunities, but under the conditions of the planned economy, most of them could not be realized.
"Oh! Tell me quickly."
When Sun Lianying heard that he could earn foreign exchange, he stood up immediately.
"Business opportunities are car seat cushions and handicrafts." Li Wen said with a smile.
"Hey! What kind of business opportunity is this? We can't produce this thing!" Sun Lianying was immediately discouraged when he heard about Li Wen's business opportunity.
"Uncle Sun, I haven't finished speaking yet! You are so discouraged that you don't want anyone to say anything anymore." Li Wen said speechlessly.
"Okay, go on." Sun Lianying waved his hand and asked Li Wen to continue.
"Uncle Sun, the car seat I'm talking about is not the original seat on the car, but the seat cushion. Listen carefully, it's a seat cushion." Li Wen emphasized again.
"Oh! Then how do you produce it?" Sun Lianying thought it was a car seat just now, but after hearing it again, he sat up straight.
"Uncle Sun, there are not many cars in our country now, but there are already a proliferation of cars from foreign countries, especially from developed countries.
Especially Ugly Country. Their country’s cars have reached 70 million. What a huge number this is!
So many cars must have car seat cushions, but normal leather and cloth seat cushions are expensive and cannot provide ventilation or warmth," Li Wen said with a smile.
"What does this have to do with us? Don't talk about it, just talk about the key points." Sun Lianying was confused by what he heard and waved his hand hurriedly.
"Uncle Sun, I didn't expect you to be impatient. I'll just say it bluntly. What I said is airtight and keeping warm is a business opportunity.
Think about it, in the summer when the temperature inside the car is 70 or 80 degrees, if you open the door and sit on it, will the seat burn your buttocks?
And in winter, does it freeze your butt when you sit directly on the cold car seat? There is even a steering wheel that I didn’t mention just now." Li Wen said with a smile.
"What the hell is this! Just endure it in the summer and warm it up in the winter and you're done! What a business opportunity this is," Sun Lianying complained.
"Uncle, your thoughts are really outrageous. You don't think about what you eat in a day or what other foreigners eat.
We have just started, and life is relatively difficult. What about foreigners? They have plenty of money, and they pay more attention to enjoyment." Li Wen said helplessly.
"Yes! These empire lords are really rich, so what do you think we should do?" Sun Lianying thought for a while, became interested, and asked Li Wen to continue.
“We use bamboo and wooden beads as cushions for the summer model, and sheepskin for the winter model.
The prices of these things in our country are much lower than those in foreign countries, and the labor costs are also low, so you can definitely make money doing this." Li Wen said with a smile.
"It makes sense, but I have to think about it again!" Sun Lianying smoked a cigarette and began to think deeply.
"Is it really okay for you to say this?" After thinking for a moment, Sun Lianying seemed to have made a decision.
"Uncle Sun, there is nothing to worry about. We can try it first. Bamboo is not a valuable item.
We can make samples first, and then let foreign businessmen place orders, and then increase production if there are orders." Li Wen said with a smile.
"Yes, bamboo is really worthless. It's just a waste of manpower. It's worth trying." Sun Lianying nodded in agreement.
"That's right! Let's make 10,000 sets first. Including labor, the cost will be thousands of dollars. If we sell them, we will also have contributed to the country.
"Oh! By the way. You just said what that handicraft is, let's talk about it too." Sun Lianying had a problem in his mind and remembered the handicraft Li Wen mentioned just now.
"Handicrafts are just a big category, not just handicrafts, but also daily necessities.
We can sell bamboo weavings, straw weavings, handmade brooms and reed mats from our hometown." Li Wen said with a smile.
"Boy, is your hometown the main goal? The cushions are all incidental." Sun Lianying laughed.
"Uncle, you are wrong. I thought of cushions first, and then I thought of handicrafts." Li Wen quickly waved his hand to deny.
"Can the brooms, reed mats, wheat straws, and bamboo weavings you mentioned be sold? Can capitalism be interested in them?" Sun Lianying asked with a smile.
"Why not? Capitalist labor costs are very expensive, and people are relatively lazy. Uncle, please don't underestimate these crafts. This is a precious wealth left by our ancestors.
But the way we usually use it will definitely not work. Since we earn foreign exchange through exports, we must make it more elaborate." Li Wen explained with a smile.
"It just so happens that I will be transferred to the Department of Commerce next month. I will go back and discuss it with the old man and make this my first job.
You, the boy, must help me when the time comes. I don’t dare to let my uncle’s future slip away.” Sun Lianying said with a smile.
"These are all small things, no problem. My uncle will also coordinate with me in my hometown. I also want people in my hometown to earn more and live a richer life." Li Wen finally expressed his request.
"You kid, you really don't do anything that doesn't benefit you!" Sun Lianying smiled and shook his head.
A few years ago, the canning workshop in the village was snatched away by the county, but it failed. Li Wen also wanted to help his hometown get bagged fruits, but in the end he shelved it because the county did not support it.
This time is Li Wen's last time to repay his deep love for his hometown, and he also hopes that his family will live a better life in the next ten years.
After leaving Chang'an, Li Wen returned directly to his hometown of Sanxing Village. He wanted to tell the villagers about this in advance.
"Wenzi, you came back just in time, just in time to harvest the wheat." As soon as he returned to Sanxing Village, the young man who was cutting wheat in the fields greeted Li Wen with a smile.
"Brother Youlun, work hard, and you will be lazy when you are working. Be careful when your third uncle comes to whip you." Li Wen joked with the young man.
"It's okay. The team members are afraid of being lazy. This year the harvest is divided into plots, and whoever can't finish cutting is not allowed to rest. I'm almost done cutting, so it's okay to rest." Shirtless You Lun said with a smile.
Li Wen very much agrees with this measure, which can effectively avoid cheating and cheating. It seems that the brigade cadres are courageous.
Li Wen didn't stay long, smiled, handed out cigarettes to nearby tribesmen, pushed his bicycle and left.
Li Wen does not have a Sanxing Village registered permanent residence, and his work is voluntary labor. Without his work points, he will not be affected by the heat.
"Awen, is the office on holiday?" When she got home, the old lady pulled Li Wen and asked with a smile.
