Chapter 184 The Foreshadowing of the Consignment Store
In the eyes of others, the agency store is just a means of making a living, a small business that can add some income to the family.
But in Luo Xuan's eyes, it was a platform, a platform on which he could spread the materials in the space in the future.
Think about how difficult it will be for the people during those three difficult years?!
By then, even if a person on the verge of death gets 2 kilograms of grain, he may be able to save a living life...
As for who should be saved when the time comes, and who should not be saved?
Luo Xuan hasn't thought about it carefully yet.
First get the agency store, and then change its operating mode.
As for changing the operation model of consignment stores, the specific measures are: Luo Xuan requires consignment stores to accept members "depositing things" in the store in the future.
For example, a chicken, salted duck eggs, or a few eggs, a handful of vermicelli, even a pound of fried broad beans, even pumpkin flowers, fresh bamboo shoots, etc. can be "stored in the consignment store."
If someone needs these things, they will take them.
If these materials cannot be "exchanged", the agency store will send a message to the owner of the goods to take the items back...
There is no buying and selling relationship with this kind of deposit.
For example, if someone's daughter-in-law is pregnant and needs eggs and old hens to replenish her body, she can go to the agency store.
Take what he needs.
As long as you put down a very reasonable amount of money, it doesn't matter if you don't have any money, you can just exchange it for something of equal value.
If this person has no money and nothing to exchange for, he will need a consignment store to help him advance the payment.
However, if you want to ask the agency store to advance for him, you have to be very selective...it definitely depends on the person who orders the food. Different people are treated differently and have different credit limits.
For example, Mrs. Wang, it is impossible for her to get even one cent on credit in the consignment store!
Deposit items and voluntary exchange.
These things are all "material exchanges" that members participate in voluntarily and have nothing to do with the agency store.
The people in the consignment store are only responsible for helping to "take care" of these items, and they will not earn any price difference at all.
Thus,
No matter whether it is the supply and marketing cooperative, the higher-level supervisory unit, or the brigade headquarters, or the township office, they cannot make irresponsible remarks on the behavior of agency stores.
But they will only praise the consignment store for such measures that benefit the people.
In fact...if the agency store continues to operate in this way, it will be a miniature "farmer's market" pattern.
However, it is done very secretly and on a small scale.
The reason why Luo Xuan is designed like this is that it can greatly boost the business of consignment stores and steal customers from other consignment stores... This is still a small matter.
The real purpose of Luo Xuan's move was not this little money.
You know, only when the goods are circulated can you have the opportunity to get your hands on them!
There is no way to fish in a pool of stagnant water...
When the agency store insists on operating in this way, it can be expected that the variety of goods that members come to "storage" will become more diverse and the scale will increase.
At that time, it will not be easy for Luo Xuan to make some small moves!
At that time, if Luo Xuan wants to help someone, or even plans to trick someone, it will all depend on his own will...
Help whoever is good to you.
If anyone doesn't like it...hehe.
Although the current members don't rely much on this small agency store.
But Luo Xuan makes a bet: It won't take more than a year, and it won't take more than 5 kilograms of grain to be stored, and it can be exchanged for a yellow flower... Humph!
By then, this small agency store will be able to influence the fate of many people!
Now,
Since Dai Hongmei agreed to take over the consignment store, she was very resolute in her work. She ran back to her parents' home that day and moved the entire store from the hands of Aunt Dai who was crying with joy!
There were not many products sold in the consignment store. After Dai Hongmei agreed to take over the consignment store, she asked everyone for help and moved all the small shops originally opened at Dai's house to Yiyang's house.
It is easy to move the agency store. The biggest and heaviest thing is the big pottery jar that holds kerosene.
Then there is a big vat for bean paste, a jar for bulk wine, and a small vat for salt.
There were some candy jars that were only half filled, as well as miscellaneous scattered goods, as well as a few simple shelves, containers, and the like.
It's very quick to move.
If we wait a few years, consignment stores will begin to sell medicines such as "Headache Powder" and "Children's Anxiety", as well as groceries such as elastic bands, needles, threads, and firecracker toys.
There are even "electrical appliances" such as dry batteries and flashlights.
At that time, the more complicated the goods sold by the agency store, the more convenient it will be if you want to mix some private goods into it...
On this day, Luo Xuan and Ji Xuyuan were having fun at home.
The township office sent an officer to inform the brigade headquarters, asking the old party secretary or captain Liao to send someone to tell Luo Xuan and Ji Xuyuan: The township will hold a grand foundation laying ceremony for the "Red Star Agricultural Machinery Factory" tomorrow.
Luo Xuan and Ji Xuyuan were invited to attend and attend the banquet after the ceremony... This banquet was jointly held by the township office, enterprises, and agricultural machinery factories, and all expenses were borne by the public.
so,
The officer also specifically told the brigade headquarters: Luo Xuan and Ji Xuyuan just go empty-handed and don't need to bring food stamps or money.
During this period, a little food stamps and money are considered very valuable to everyone.
That's why the officer specifically explained this matter.
This goes to show how rare the opportunity is to get a free meal from the government!
"I don't want to go to this groundbreaking ceremony and celebration."
Ji Xuyuan looked at the simple invitation in his hand, threw it on the table, and said, "Why don't you go ahead? I like silence and don't like to move. At that kind of banquet, there are all the top leaders from the county and the village.
It’s embarrassing for us to sit there.”
Luo Xuan thrust the invitation back into Ji Xuyuan's hand, "Go, you can have a free meal, how can you let it go? As long as you become thick-skinned and don't feel embarrassed, then it will be fine."
Ji Xuyuan glared at Luo Xuan, "Why do you imitate some people in the production team and stare at the pieces of meat in other people's bowls every day?"
Luo Xuan said with a smile, "If the leader invites us to go, we have to give him face! Not only are we going, but we are going with great fanfare and bringing a big team with us!"
Of course Ji Xuyuan knew that as the heroes who improved the threshing machine and invented the threshing machine, he and Luo Xuan would not be able to attend the celebration banquet without attending the groundbreaking ceremony.
I guess he and Luo Xuan must have occupied a little bit of the leadership's speech.
When the leader speaks, he will mention this sentence casually.
If he and Luo Xuan were not present and only Liu Fuguier was left taking credit, the scene would be a bit embarrassing...
"You said you wanted to go there with great fanfare, and you also wanted to go with a large team? What do you mean?"
Ji Xuyuan stared at Luo Xuan and asked, "We only have two invitations in hand, and only your and my names are written on them. How can we bring others there?"
Luo Xuan asked back, "Do you think it's very graceful to participate in the foundation laying ceremony and use a shovel tied with red silk to pour soil on the foundation stone?"
Ji Xuyuan smiled slightly, "Maybe, for some people, being able to participate in the ceremony with the leaders of the county and township is indeed a very beautiful moment...
Hey, are you planning to invite the old branch secretary and Captain Liao to attend the ceremony together?"
"Exactly."
Luo Xuan replied honestly, "I am a junior member of the Zhengxing Brigade, and you are now a new member of the Zhengxing Brigade.
We respect heaven and earth, but how can we not respect our leaders? How can such a glorious moment be without the old Party Secretary and Captain Liao who have worked hard for the members and have nothing to lose?"
"The old party secretary has been honest and dedicated his whole life and devoted himself to the cause of the production team. He is so old, what does he want?
Why not just give a thumbs up when a member of the club mentions him and sincerely praise him by saying, "How good our old branch secretary is!"
Isn’t it just that when a superior leader mentions the old party secretary, he can say with satisfaction, ‘This is a good comrade who is capable, disciplined and principled’?”
Luo Xuan said, "Seeing that the old party secretary's career has reached its peak, how many more opportunities can he have to show his face? Captain Liao's career is developing strongly. Shouldn't he go and have a good time on this occasion?"
Ji Xuyuan patted Luo Xuan on the shoulder, "That's right! Okay, you can figure it out. Anyway, I'll follow you and just eat! I won't interfere with what you say or do."
The next day.
The old party secretary, Captain Liao, Ji Xuyuan, Luo Xuan, Dai Hongmei, Yi Yang and his wife, a group of six people, rushed to Hongxing Township early in the morning.
Among them, Captain Liao and Dai Hongmei were riding bicycles.
After all, the old party secretary still didn't learn to drive this "foreign horse", so he had to sit in the cab of the tractor and run ahead with Yi Yang and Luo Xuan.
Captain Liao and Dai Hongmei, dressed neatly, followed behind the tractor on brand-new bicycles.
The bicycle looked foreign and eye-catching, and everyone stopped to watch along the way, pointing at Dai Hongmei and the others with envy.
The scenery is quite beautiful.
It's a pity that the dust behind the tractor's butt is really a bit big...
When they arrived at Hongxing Township, Dai Hongmei and Captain Liao had to go to an acquaintance's house and wash themselves thoroughly before they dared to go out to meet people.
"Today is a big day for our Hongxing Township! At the same time, it is also a good day for our Hongxing Township!"
From the loudspeaker, the mayor's passionate voice came out, "Today, on this good day filled with joy, our agricultural machinery factory in the township, with the cordial care of the superior leaders and the strong support of the regional and county leaders.
Thanks to the efforts of the cadres and masses of our Hongxing Township, our state-owned Hongxing Agricultural Machinery Factory was established!"
"Bah, bang, bang—" applause rang out, and the crowd was excited.
"It is not easy to establish our Hongxing Agricultural Machinery Factory!"
The township head's voice slowed down, and his tone was full of emotion and relief, "Like Comrade Liu Fugui, the technical backbone of our agricultural machinery factory.
In order to innovate and improve new threshing machines and threshing machines, in order to support our agricultural production and construction undertakings... Barabara.
It was a time of forgetting sleep and eating, working day and night on the design and improvement of agricultural machinery...
Finally, with the unremitting efforts of the research and development team led by Comrade Liu Fugui, working day and night...
Of course, with the wholehearted support of Comrade Nanhua Gong Chengmao, Comrade Luo Xuan of our Zhengxing Brigade, and Comrade Ji Xuyuan, our new threshing machine was finally successfully developed!
It is precisely because of this advanced threshing machine that the superiors decided to officially establish the Hongxing Agricultural Machinery Factory in our Hongxing Township!
Ah, the reason why our agricultural machinery factory has reached the scale it is today, able to feed hundreds of people, ah, this is also inseparable from the strong support of superior leaders! Now, I would like to invite the leader in charge of industry in our county to speak.
Everyone applauds and welcomes!”
Next, there will be speeches by the cadres sent by the county, the leaders of the county planning committee, the leaders of the county supply and marketing cooperatives, the leaders of the industrial bureau...the director of the enterprise office in the township...
Balabala is another big pass.
When the leaders at all levels finished speaking, they each raised their shovels and shoveled some soil into the pit according to their level, and the foundation laying ceremony was completed.
After the leaders finished all the work on the construction site, they had to go back to the township office conference room for a small gathering first.
Then they would go to Fatty Gu’s catering service for dinner.
Luo Xuan, Ji Xuyuan, the old party secretary, Captain Liao, and Dai Hongmei went straight to the catering service club.
"Luo Xuan! Luo Xuan!"
Just as everyone walked forward for a while, Liu Fugui's voice came from behind, "Wait a minute, we are looking for you!"
Luo Xuan stopped and took a look at Liu Fugui, who had already put on a brand new four-pocket cadre uniform with a red silk flower on his chest, "Leader Liu, what are your instructions?"
"Fart instruction!"
Liu Fugui smiled and tugged at Luo Xuan, and said: "Don't come here to talk about me in a weird way. Come on, let me introduce you. This is the deputy director of our agricultural machinery factory, Director Liu Ping."
Said,
Liu Fugui introduced a tall, stern-looking middle-aged man next to him to Luo Xuan, "Director Liu, this is the young comrade Luo Xuan I often mention to you.
Oh, and this is Comrade Ji Xuyuan, who is also an expert in business management.
As our factory is starting up, we can still refer to the opinions and suggestions of these two comrades on some matters."
Deputy Director Liu stretched out his hand and said with a hearty smile, "I am Liu Ping. I have just been transferred from the team to the local area. Regarding production management, my knowledge is still very narrow.
I hope that the two comrades will not hesitate to impart some valuable experience to us, which will also be of great help to the economic construction of our Hongxing Township!"
Seeing Deputy Factory Director Liu's sincere attitude, Luo Xuan suddenly felt good about him.
Although Liu Ping looked serious, he seemed to have difficulty speaking.
However, his attitude is indeed very low and his attitude is very sincere, which is beyond criticism.
The man from the agricultural machinery factory was in the township office today, talking with important cadres.
The factory director was an old cadre from the township, with seniority and wide contacts.
His strength is to go to the top to run indicators, apply for funds, and coordinate all aspects of relationships.
In matters related to production management, the factory director leaves it to the deputy director Liu Ping, asking him to take charge of it.
But Liu Ping is also a person who has just resigned from the team. He has never been exposed to business management before, and he really doesn't understand these things very well.
so,
Now Deputy Factory Director Liu has regarded Liu Fugui as his right-hand man, and Liu Ping is extremely optimistic about Liu Fugui's work ability.
The group of people were chatting and walking.
After a while, we arrived at the door of the catering service.
Of course Fatty Gu knew that there would be a grand banquet today.
Early this morning, Luo Xuan sent Qiu Guiying and Qiu Xiaogang to bring him a large basket of mushrooms, eels and other ingredients.
But at the entrance of the catering service agency, there is the director of the township office, who is responsible for the specific reception work.
So Fatty Gu didn't come out to say hello to Luo Xuan, Liu Fugui and the others.
"Comrade, please show your invitation."
A group of people were walking in chatting and laughing. Behind a simple desk at the door, the office director in charge of reception stood up and stretched out his hand to ask everyone to show their invitations.
Among these people,
The old party secretary, Captain Liao, Yi Yang, and Dai Hongmei were all invited by Luo Xuan so that they could show their faces in front of the leaders and become familiar with each other.
A bunch of people who are just looking for money and face.
