Chapter 66: Departure, I am here in the Bolang era [Seeking follow-up reading]

January 7, 1989.

clear!
Suitable for: getting married, meeting relatives and friends, traveling, and getting engaged.

Taboo: None.

Peng Zu's 100 taboos: If Ding doesn't shave his head, he will get sores on his head; if Mao doesn't dig a well, the water in the spring will not be fragrant!

The warm sun shone on the earth, melting the snow, which was not very thick to begin with.

The time is ripe.

Lu Yang called his eldest cousin, Da Jun, and the three of them carried their luggage and came to the big locust tree at the entrance of the village.

A large Jiefang truck has already parked here.

The driver Gong Ping'an jumped out of the car door.

He helped the three people to carry their luggage up, and then the four of them got on the car one by one. "Boom," the car started, roaring towards the distance, just like a wild young dragon breaking into this Bolang era, bound to create stormy waves in this era!
"Yoko, where are we going this time?"

"Go to the city."

"Baoqing?"

"Aren't we going to Shencheng?"

"No, I'll wait until the Spring Festival is over in Shanghai and then consider when to go there. This trip is mainly to solve the problem of supply in the free wholesale market."

"Didn't I say I wanted to do business?"

"Let's start from here. You will understand when you get there."

This time, whether it was Da Jun or the eldest cousin, they were both mainly responsible for making soy sauce and learning how to drive a truck for long distances, so Lu Yang did not discuss it with them.

Currently, the only person who knows Lu Yang’s real destination is the truck driver Gong Pingan.

"Oh, I see. You're in the clothing business, right?"

"Old Six has been acting mysterious these past few days, asking everyone he meets who has a sewing machine, or whose wife or daughter can make clothes. I saw that he even called Xiao Qi after school, as well as some of Xiao Qi's classmates, a group of teenage mud monkeys. He was quite generous, buying them spicy noodles and soda, and asking them to help ask around. Could it be that you, my cousin, gave him money to ask him to do this?"

This time my cousin has learned his lesson.

He slapped his forehead and suddenly realized, "I was wondering how this guy suddenly became rich and didn't even save money to get married. It turns out that it was a task assigned to him by you, cousin. So, cousin, are you going to open your own factory to make clothes?"

Lu Yang waved his hand and said, "It's not really a processing factory. I'm just planning to set up a small family workshop for fun. When the materials are cut, you guys will have to drive them out to the surrounding towns to deliver them to people who have sewing machines at home. If they are willing to do it, you can pay them and teach them how to do it for free. After the clothes are made, you can bring them back.

In this way, even if there is no factory, as long as the development goes smoothly, we will never be short of skilled female workers who can make clothes. We can have as many as we want, until we can no longer supply the cut fabrics, or there are too many people following the trend, and the finished clothes are piled up and cannot be sold. How about this, should it work?"

This pattern became very common in later generations.

Even in the 21st century, small processing workshops like this one are still flourishing in Zhao County, which only provide raw materials and package the entire production process and send it to the countryside, giving rural women who are willing to work and stay at home to take care of their children an opportunity to earn money.

It wasn't until another ten or twenty years later that fewer and fewer people in Zhao County's rural areas were willing to do this. Those with foresight began to upgrade their industries, while those without foresight were gradually eliminated, forming a cluster scale.

Lu Yang chose to do this because he didn't want to take a detour, because this model was very mature. In the 1980s, 1990s, and even 2000s before his rebirth, it almost supported the local processing of the small commodity economy of the entire Zhao County, and also enabled this small inland county to develop vigorously in the early stages of industry and commerce.

Of course, this model is simple and easy to imitate.

The difficult part is the first person to come up with it and put it into practice. Those who come after him almost all make money by relying on this person. Before his rebirth, Lu Yang had no chance.

After his rebirth, Lu Yang was willing to give it a try. He was also willing to be imitated, surpassed, and stepped on to become the founder of the booming small commodity economy in Zhao County.

Because by then, he must have gone further, and Zhao County would only be his first stop in this Bolang era, not the end.

"What a great idea!"

"That's great. I want to buy a sewing machine now."

"When your sister-in-law has given birth and recovered, she can use the sewing machine to make some clothes at home to supplement the family income. She won't have to get up early and work in the fields late. What do you think of this idea, cousin?"

The eldest cousin slapped his thigh and spoke loudly in surprise again.

That’s a great idea.

How wonderful.

He thought so anyway, and when he told his wife about it when he got back, she would definitely agree.

Even Da Jun next to him was tempted. Although he didn't have a wife, he still had a younger sister, who was also a woman. Winter vacation was coming soon, so why not buy her a sewing machine as a gift?

Just think of it as preparing the dowry in advance?

Lu Yang laughed at this time: "Pattern, do you understand pattern? Brothers, you are all my left and right generals, and you will be able to stand on your own sooner or later.

Well, let’s not talk about the distant things, let’s talk about the near things. When I finish setting up this garment processing workshop, you will definitely be too busy just to transport the cut fabrics and garments. You will also have to pack them and set up stalls to sell them, just like the salespeople in those big shopping malls.

If my sister-in-law wants to work after she has the baby, she can go to the county town to work as a clothing salesperson and I will pay her a high salary.

And Dajun, your sister Nini’s main task now is to study. If she has nothing to do at home during the summer vacation next year, she can come and work as a summer intern for me. I promise not to treat her unfairly and will give her the same salary as a formal salesperson.

How about it, are we good friends?
This is just the beginning of our business. When the business grows bigger, you will understand that I will never mistreat my own people."

Just do your best to PUA.

Are you convinced?

This series of bad checks not only made my eldest cousin very happy, but also made the army happy.

"middle."

"I'll listen to you, Yoko."

"Yangzi, we will do whatever you tell us to do, as long as it's not murder or arson. We will follow you from now on."

The army said so.

Wait a minute, he knocked on the front window again: "Old Gong, what about you? Say something. We are both former soldiers, how about you also express your opinion?"

Gong Pingan held the steering wheel with both hands, looking straight ahead: "Get lost, if you keep calling me Old Gong, let's stop the car and practice now."

The army quickly covered their mouths.

It seems that it is an indisputable fact that he cannot beat Gong Ping'an. In recent times, besides practicing driving, he must have suffered a lot at the hands of this former special forces soldier.
