The years when I opened a farmhouse in my hometown

Although the rent collected is only a few tens of dollars a day, each homestay now has several rooms, and the income is hundreds of dollars a day. This is all ready-made money, plus some snacks at home. Although each small pancake, small pastry, a handful of melon seeds, and peanuts are only sold for [-] cents or [-] yuan a piece, the victory is that there are tourists who come to buy them every day, and occasionally there are people who buy them. Fermented bean curd, kimchi, sun-dried wild vegetables, etc. These odds and ends cost hundreds of dollars a day, and together, the income is definitely considerable.

And there is no need for appearance fees, rent, etc., except for the output of some manpower and material resources, there is almost no cost. This kind of real income is much more than what he earns from working in the city.

And here at home, there is no need to spend money on food and drink, and the consumption is greatly reduced, which means that almost no money is spent, and the monthly net profit is even more terrifying to imagine.

After Li Lei came back, he also roughly calculated the monthly income of the family. This calculation, just the homestay and selling various snacks every day, as well as odd non-staple foods, add up to less than [-] a month.

Li Lei didn't even dare to think about earning so much money a month without any cost.

He didn't study for a few years, he went to work outside early, and spent a few years outside with others. Later, he was older and had seen more of the world. He knew how to use mobile phones and computers. Character.The latter is also considered to be self-motivated. I followed a workshop master and learned a few years of craftsmanship from the master. After entering the workshop, I will repair some machines. The salary has also been raised for him in the past two years, but it can be raised to the top. More than 7000.

Their factory is just an ordinary machinery factory, which is very common in that area. The salary of ordinary workers is between 7000 and [-]. With skills like him, it is considered that the old employees in the factory can get more than [-]. , The appearance of getting [-] or [-] is considered a middle-level employee.

In the small third-tier cities, it is still the kind that eats well.

It was also true that among the young people in the same village of Yunshui Village, Li Lei was considered to be a good mess, although he was not as short as he was, but he was more than enough.Now that he is rich and confident, he can be regarded as having made a fortune now, has become a teacher, has his own experience, and can respond to mechanical accidents in a timely manner, so he usually has his own personal time, and his work is free. The family group in the village He also effervescent from time to time.

The development of Yunshui Village this time, Shen Xiaoyun took the lead in starting a business, motivating all the young and old in Yunshui Village, and attracted the attention of many young people who are away from home. Look, at the same time, he also wanted to reach out to help Shen Xiaoyun.

Over the years, Li Lei has been groping alone in the society for several years. He started to work in the city with his older brothers and sisters in the same village when he was 14 years old. Do you want to start your own business?

He can be regarded as self-motivated and has his own ambitions and ambitions. He wants to create a world of his own outside by himself. He also wants to prove himself and let himself live a good life. He fantasizes about shopping in the city. A small house of my own, or buy a scooter or something, and if I do better, I can borrow the elders of my parents' family to live in the city.

Unfortunately, such an idea failed in repeated attempts to start a business on its own.

After working hard for several years, he hoarded money like a hamster, and he was reluctant to eat and wear the rented facade house with some money saved. He also wanted to set up a small facade and start a small business.However, doing business is not something that can be made by following the trend. Seeing the crowds of people in front of other people’s doors, a large number of buyers, you are jealous, but your business is not as good as others don’t say, and you even lose money every month. .

Business is a very mysterious thing, not only depends on the individual, but also depends on the person's good luck from time to time, whether this business is suitable for you, and you must also be able to bear the various negative consequences of facing losses.

The first business Li Lei started at that time was to ask a lot of people, and then he bought a small storefront, operating a small brand of fried chicken, specializing in fried chicken cutlets, fried chicken drumsticks, fried potato skewers, and grilled sausages. Wait for this very popular fast food snack nowadays.The fried chicken restaurant run by Li Lei was a very famous brand in that provincial capital at that time. It may not be so well-known in China, but there are quite a lot of people eating there. Make up your mind and invest the savings that you have saved for several years at that time.

With the brand effect and the unique seasoning formula, after a period of training by a dedicated person, Li Lei can easily go into battle by himself. In the first month or two, the business is really good. Even though the store is small, the location is not bad. His fried chicken shop makes a lot of money every day.But after a few months of operation, in his street, there were only three or four fried chicken shops, and all kinds of roasted chicken drummers rushed in. This business was pulled away, and Li Lei's business became worse and worse. Now, we can only rely on promotions, giving juice drinks or something to attract customers.

But people have followed suit, and even some shops that originally sold milk tea actually bought fried chicken cutlets and grilled sausages...

Later, with the addition of small mobile vendors, all kinds of barbecue, mala tang, and oden, the street became more prosperous, with the addition of all kinds of food and drink, and many people came to shop, but Li Lei's business was not good.

In the past, the grilled sausages in the shop cost five yuan for a large bunch, and the small bunch for three yuan was an endless stream of people. Fried chicken cutlets cost ten yuan a piece, and there are all kinds of tomatoes, cumin, spicy, and spiced. There is also a long queue of people.Nowadays, the grilled sausages at the mobile stalls only cost one yuan a piece, and the fried chicken cutlets only cost six yuan a piece. People who come to shop think those small stalls are cheap, so they go there to buy. Naturally, no one wants to come to him to buy. .

Although there are some customers who are concerned about hygiene issues or worry about the taste, they will still go to his small shop to buy, but there are too few such customers.

Most people who come out to play don’t care about hygiene issues, nor do they care about the sources of delicious snacks that can be purchased for one or two yuan. They only need to be cheap, and then discuss whether they are good or not.

Fewer people come to buy fried chicken sausages, and the daily income is also reduced. After seeing the profit after a month, after deducting costs, manpower and material resources, rent, water and electricity, etc., I don’t see the money coming in at all, but I still have to take it out. The money earned before is used to make up for the loophole of the loss.

However, the storefront under his offer is at least one year old, and he also spent various transfer fees for this storefront, the later decoration, and the purchase of some machines, all of which cost money.Li Lei's heart was dripping with blood. He went to work with a smile every day.

Li Lei also tried every means to turn the situation around, but no matter how you operate alone, it is the same around you, no matter how much you lower the price, how can the appearance fee, water and electricity fee, etc. have anything to do with those itinerant vendors? It's exhausting...

That year was very difficult. Li Lei was worried that he would not have the money to buy goods later, and he was even afraid that he would not be able to pay the rent or eat. He decided not to run a small shop in the morning, but to go out for shopping in the afternoon and evening. Time to go out and shop.And in the morning and noon, he went to post various small advertisements by himself, doing housework, cleaning, removing various pests in the house, such as cockroaches, mice, etc., and treating sewers and oily pipes for others. , The house is leaking, all these things he thinks he can do, and he can find time to do it, he has done it.

Those days were really miserable. I was reluctant to eat and drink all year round, and I was reluctant to buy a new pair of socks when they were torn.Li Lei used to be frugal too, because he never lived a prosperous life since he was a child. His family is used to frugality. Even if he made money outside later, he would have money in his hands. He also frugal, buying clothes and so on. Buy it when the season changes, and keep it for next year, so it will be new.

Some snacks and fruits are only bought once in a while, and the cheapest ones are better.

But when he opened this fried chicken restaurant, Li Lei saw him losing money, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet. Every day before dawn, he went to repair the water pipes of other people's homes, deal with sewers, and various toilet blockages. Cleaning some really messy rooms, gritting your teeth so you don't let your emotions leak, smiling and earning tips.

At that time, doing these jobs was not as lucrative as it is now. Every time I paid a few dollars, a dozen dollars, or tens of dollars, sometimes I encountered various tricky employers, and the money was not mentioned. They also sarcasm you, find excuses to deduct your money, and they think you are cheating money after you do the work.

Li Lei kept all these in his heart, and invested the money he earned into the fried chicken shop. Although the business of the fried chicken shop is not as good as it was at the beginning, it still has some income every day. It needs to buy some chicken chops, drumsticks, potatoes and various seasonings from time to time. Materials, edible oil, etc., all of which require working capital.

All the money he earns every day has been invested. After deducting the rent and accommodation, and the minimum monthly food expenses, Li Lei has not bought a single piece of clothing throughout the year. The shoes are from the year before last year, and so are the socks. , Li Lei would never have imagined this before.

He has never thought that clothes and socks need to be mended if they are torn. Like cheap clothes, when the seasons change, you can buy one or two pieces at a bargain price. You can buy three pairs for five yuan at the small stall, but when it really comes to the end of the mountain, Li Lei is reluctant to spend even a penny.

And he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, so he spent a year cooking noodles with vegetables in plain water.During the period, he also borrowed money from fellow villagers, but everyone either hesitated or hawed, or had various meanings other than words, when must be returned, and some borrowed money, but every once in a while, Li Lei gritted his teeth and ran more. After a few private jobs, I collected the money and returned it to others.

After that he stopped borrowing money.

Not to mention hurting people, but also being looked down upon by others, because everyone knows that his business is losing money, and all kinds of debt reminders and people asking for money come one after another. This brings him more pressure than seeing his business disappear.

It was like a nightmare.

The business in the store is gone, and he can still rely on some private work every day to earn some pocket money for a while, but those who borrow money to press the debt ask for too much at one time, and ask for too much, they all coax together He wanted to, but he couldn't do it at all. Some people called every day to urge him, and even said some harsh words. At that time, Li Lei collapsed to the extreme.

Fortunately, there were only two or three people who lent him money at that time, and there was only one person who urged him to pay the debt. The other two didn't keep pressing the debt, but Li Lei also felt the pressure.

Not only these pressures, young people from the same village also mentioned it in the group from time to time. His despair and indifference.

He dared not go home during the Chinese New Year. He was afraid that his fellow villagers would spread the news of his failure in starting a business, that his parents would be worried, that he would be ridiculed by the whole village, that he would see his parents' disappointed and sad eyes, and that they would worry along with him.

He can only tell his family that he's doing well outside, that he doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking every day, and that he still has money...

Li Lei was not discouraged when he failed in starting a business. He picked up the idea of ​​looking for a job again. His mind was not bad, and he felt that it was not a problem to work for others all the time. of.Fortunately, he has experienced ups and downs in his life. Although he failed in starting a business, he groped from the bottom and let him know how to control his emotions, how to flatter others, and make his sharp edges and corners smooth. This is also a failure. A kind of feedback that adds to many social experiences.Therefore, he quickly paid homage to a good master, who treated him very well and passed on his skills to him. Li Lei also climbed up to the position of the junior supervisor relying on his willingness to endure hardship and hard work.

Thinking back to how hard it was to start a business at the beginning, people like them have no foundation and no resources. They just want to succeed in starting a business by themselves. Not to mention starting a business, opening a small shop can make you unable to turn over for several years.

When Li Lei thought of Shen Xiaoyun, he felt inexplicable admiration.

If you want to start a business, you need not only rely on strength, but also luck, and a lot of manpower and material resources. This guy is really good. With the power of one person, he can drive the whole village to start a business. This time, he will not only drive the business of the farmhouse Every household in the village also followed suit. Not to mention, every household has arranged for people to work, with considerable income, and the overall economy has also leapt forward. I really watched Yunshui Village getting better every day. .

It's only been a few months.

According to my parents, Shen Xiaoyun has been making preparations at home since the beginning of the year. First, she sorted out various ponds, her abandoned fields, and the open yard behind her house, and then went to the town every day to buy various fish fry, fruit tree seedlings, and ducklings. , chicks, piglets and more.The live broadcast started almost at the beginning of March, and only tourists from other places came to visit when it was full.

At that time, there was no farmhouse, and Shen Xiaoyun took the tourists alone. He often went to the county town to buy things. Helping people with cooking and arranging accommodation, I was busy in the middle of the night every day, which was very hard work.

It was all up to Shen Xiaoyun to deal with and arrange it all by himself. Everyone else in the village was old and didn't need to read any books. They couldn't read a few words, and they couldn't help even if they wanted to. Know.Li Lei started his business by himself. He knows how difficult it is to work alone without anyone's help. This difficulty is not only material and financial, but also spiritual. It requires extremely strong willpower and perseverance, because in this stage of starting a business There is a road where you must be alone on that road, through the silence, without light, and walk on the road that seems to never end.

There can be no mistakes during the period.

People with poor willpower and perseverance may collapse once they collapse.

How can the younger generation who go out to work outside the country have no dreams and ambitions? Most entrepreneurship is a silent torment by one person, and one knows the hardships. Many people do not say a word, and they will not tell others.There are lessons learned from the past like Li Lei, but at that time, each other had not added their own Qiuqiu numbers and WeChat IDs, and they could only find out when chatting at parties or during the Chinese New Year.Everyone definitely wouldn't say anything in person, and when people left, they would turn their backs and complain, sarcasm, and even say that they were stupid, incompetent, and so on.

Of course, there are not no successes, but when everyone achieves something, flatters each other, and speaks politely, looking back at the past, it seems ridiculous and the human touch has faded.

This is completely different from the kind of harmony that the older generation got along with in the same village. After they left the society, they got into a lot of bad habits. Takes pleasure in sarcasm of others, fights in a small circle, has no overall situation, and has shallow eyelids.

In the past, Li Lei would chat and chat in the group in the village. After watching a lot, he also met some people, and found that sometimes he really couldn’t be with certain people, because he chatted too much, and he really didn’t know if he would It will turn into a look that makes me hate it.

Then there are some people who feel that this is not good, and they have created other groups in private, which can be regarded as different ways and not conspiring with each other.

As for people saying that they look down on them, that rich people have high vision, and dogs look down on others, Li Leiquan pretended not to hear it.

This time when Li Lei returned to the village, those who came back at about the same time as him were also in the same group. They were considered to have similar personalities, and they chatted well. mean.

Shen Xiaoyun has done so much for their village, if their peers have been watching and enjoying the fruits of victory in the end, they are undoubtedly thieves, not to mention that they are unable to do this kind of thing.

After discovering that the development of the village was better than expected, Li Lei's desire to start a business in his hometown was ignited again.

Yunshui Village is now a fragrant bun. There are many tourists in the village. As long as you are willing to endure hardships and put in some thought, there are too many ways to make a living. Li Lei and many people who came back from the same village have the same idea. They want to start a business in the village.

Then they set their sights on the Internet. They want to sell some agricultural and sideline products in their hometown, some special snacks in their village, and those snacks that are checked in by Internet celebrities and hand-picked by gourmet anchors on the Internet!

What is the purchasing power of the Internet? The popularity of Yunshui Village has risen, and there are also advertisements on the Golden Channel. This is the rhythm of getting popular and making a fortune. If the sales volume is increased, it is a trivial matter to sell more than [-] a month.

They compared all kinds of homemade snacks and snacks on the Internet. Some snacks made with traditional craftsmanship and a nostalgic atmosphere seem to be quite popular on the Internet. Those prices are the same as those sold at home. It can be said that It has doubled several times.

If they change the packaging of these snacks, make the packaging more exquisite, and add the name of Yunshui Village, even if they increase the price ten times, there will still be a lot of people buying them. Just by imagining that scene, the beauty is bubbling.

"This Shen Xiaoyun is also stupid. Fortunately, he has read so many books and has no brains at all. If these things are sold online, the daily sales will be very scary. Our village will be rich long ago."

"You can also set up a special processing factory to sell these special snacks, which are vacuum-packed, and the price will increase. It will definitely make a profit. Like that pastry, you can buy it for two or three yuan at a time, and I think it will cost four or five yuan a piece. It’s very cheap. If you look at the scenic spot outside, you can buy a steamed stuffed bun for 30 yuan. It’s not very popular. There are still people buying a few dumplings for dozens of yuan, and the food in our village is really delicious, but the price has increased a little. times, it’s not as high as what’s sold outside.”

"Oh, I am very angry when I say this. My family sells Neng mung bean cakes. Although they are very popular and there are many people who buy them, the price is too cheap. Thirty cents for one piece, fifty cents for two yuan, what's the profit of this. Take a look at the mung bean cakes sold outside, a box of more than a dozen yuan, dozens of yuan, we are all made of genuine mung beans, it is really handmade, I don't know what advice Shen Xiaoyun gave, actually gave such a Low price."

"My family sells oil sanzi, five yuan a bag, one bag a catty, I thought it was cheap at first, too cheap, but my mother said that there are three yuan, three or five yuan a catty in the town. There is no way, the price here is too low, if you raise it too much, most of the tourists will know the surrounding situation, and it will cause disgust to others, everyone is understanding. My mother told me, and Shen Xiaoyun also raised it In this regard, one should not be too greedy, others are not stupid."

"So we can't raise the price here, but we can sell it online. There must still be people who buy it. This is to make money."

"There are also those fish and shrimps in our Houshanshuitan. After baking and processing, they can be sold at sky-high prices. Now each of those shrimps can be sold at the farmhouse for ten yuan each. We can sell them online for ten. Is it a steady profit?"

"There are also native eggs, native chickens, ducks, geese, and the Tujia pork that many tourists are obsessed with, bacon, salted fish and dried plums. These are all available for sale. Shen Xiaoyun, a fool, has so many opportunities to make money. To make money, just foolishly waiting for tourists to come.”
