In his previous life, after Li Weidong earned money selling mushrooms, his relatives became envious and begged him to let them profit as well. However, simply because he charged them an extra dime ...
Why don't you agree?
Tiger was speechless: "Mom, do you know why I've accomplished nothing? It's because you never support me in doing whatever I want!"
"So many people in the village are waiting to work with me, and you refuse right away. With your attitude, how can I possibly succeed!"
Then he looked at Zhao Weiguo beside him and said, "Dad, say something!"
Zhao Weiguo puffed on his pipe, not even lifting his eyelids: "Don't ask me. Your mother makes the decisions in our family. Whatever she says goes."
"You guys..."
Tiger was furious and stomped his foot, saying, "I don't care, I've already told the villagers that these mushrooms have to be planted!"
"I have to get my revenge!"
Wang Dahua tapped his forehead with her finger: "You're still trying to live up to expectations? Tell me yourself, how much money has our family lost because of you lately? Now we're going to grow mushrooms, and we're going to get the villagers involved too. Where are we going to get the money to waste like this!"
"You keep saying you want to compete with Li Weidong, but do you even have his abilities?"
He got so angry with himself while talking that he sat down and was panting heavily.
Tiger was even more unconvinced: "What skills does Li Weidong have? He's all eyes and a mouth. If he can do it, why can't I?"
"Who the hell are you? Whose side are you on?!"
Wang Dahua glared at him: "Am I supposed to help him? He's obviously better than you. If he wasn't capable, how could he earn so much money?"
No matter how much resentment and jealousy she felt towards Li Weidong, she had to admit that he was indeed capable.
At a young age, he took on the responsibility of supporting his family, and they lived a prosperous life.
Unlike my good-for-nothing son, who loses money no matter what he does, and who finally got a girlfriend only to have her snatched away by Li Weidong!
Wang Dahua grew angrier the more she thought about it, and couldn't help but pinch Hu Zi hard: "Anyway, I don't care, I won't agree to this!"
Tiger was furious: "Mom, what are you doing! I've already asked around. Li Weidong is able to make money because he has a master backing him up!"
"You know the Wenhe Hotel in the city, right? It's the restaurant where we delivered mushrooms before, owned by Ji Dahai."
Wang Dahua was taken aback: "What does this have to do with him?"
Tiger explained, "Mom, think about it. You watched Li Weidong grow up. He used to make money growing mushrooms, but only a little. Now, he's involved in Moutai liquor and is organizing a company to help the whole village grow mushrooms."
"Could he have come up with these things on his own, and was he capable of doing them?"
Wang Dahua still didn't understand: "What does that mean?!"
"Oh my god, why can't you understand?"
Tiger stamped his foot: "The reason Li Weidong is able to make money is because Ji Dahai is guiding him behind the scenes! Ji Dahai is the Moutai distributor in this area!"
"If he hadn't said it, would Li Weidong, a peasant, have thought of this?"
His words were filled with utter contempt.
Wang Dahua hesitated: "What you said makes some sense..."
"That makes sense, that's exactly how it is!"
Tiger said with absolute certainty: "This large-scale mushroom business must have been orchestrated by Ji Dahai behind the scenes!"
Zhao Weiguo, who hadn't spoken until now, suddenly said, "Speaking of this, when Weidong got engaged the other day, Ji Dahai was there too, wasn't he?"
"you do not say!"
Tiger nodded vigorously: "He even drove over to give Li Weidong face!"
“Li Weidong made money by currying favor with me, and now he’s in the mushroom business. It’s not easy for everyone in the village to trust me and be willing to work with me. If we miss this opportunity, we won’t have another one!”
He tugged at Wang Dahua's sleeve: "Mom, can you just trust me this once?"
Wang Dahua was persuaded, but still hesitated: "Can it really make money? Our family can't afford any more losses!"
Tiger patted his chest confidently and said, "Would I lie to you?"
"Moreover, I've figured it out. Li Weidong's mushrooms are able to sell because, on the one hand, Ji Dahai is helping him, and on the other hand, it's because he processes the mushrooms well!"
“When we delivered mushrooms last time, they said our mushrooms were dirty and not properly prepared, and they would all break when we delivered them, so they wouldn’t accept them.”
"If we could do what Li Weidong did, clean the mushrooms thoroughly, and improve the quality, wouldn't that solve the problem?"
He tried his best to persuade them.
Wang Dahua frowned: "What about sales channels? All those big restaurants in the city are cooperating with Li Weidong. Where will we sell our mushrooms?"
Tiger laughed: "You have to worry about this? Mom, go out and ask around. There's such a shortage of mushrooms outside. Because of that yellow mushroom disease, you can't buy them even if you have money!"
"If we grow the mushrooms, will we still have to worry about selling them?"
Mushrooms may look unassuming, but they are actually incredibly delicious whether stir-fried or used in soup. If cooked properly, they can even taste better than meat.
Therefore, no restaurant can refuse to accept mushrooms.
Tiger became more and more smug as he spoke: "I've already planned it all out. Now everyone in the village wants to work with me. As long as we get people to grow the mushrooms, once the yield goes up, we can just wait to count the money!"
"When the time comes, I'll build the most beautiful and impressive house in the whole village, and crush Li Weidong!"
His eyes were shining.
Wang Dahua was still somewhat worried: "After saying all this, why do I still feel uneasy? Hu, are you really confident you can beat him?"
In any case, it was Li Weidong who started growing mushrooms first, and even his family followed suit.
Now that Li Weidong is also going to do it on a large scale, what if he can't compete with others?
Tiger sneered, "Other things are one thing, but this time, Li Weidong made a stupid mistake, and I caught him in the act!"
"Mom, you don't know this, do you? He brought people to grow mushrooms, and not only did he charge fifty yuan for the greenhouse, but he also managed to drive down the price of the mushrooms to forty cents a pound!"
Do you know how much it sells for outside?
He held up one finger with an exaggerated expression: "It's almost selling for a dollar! I think it's going to go up even more. As long as we offer a higher price than Li Weidong, why worry about not finding people to follow us?"
Wang Dahua's eyes widened: "That much difference?"
"you do not say!"
Tiger nodded: "Mom, let me do the math for you. Let's say we buy it for six cents a pound and resell it for a dollar. Even if we lose one cent, we can still make three cents a pound!"
"One greenhouse can produce more than 200 jin per batch, so 100 greenhouses would yield 2,000 jin. Do the math, how much money can we make?"
Wang Dahua was so excited that her hands trembled, and she couldn't figure it out even after trying for a long time.
Zhao Weiguo, who was standing to the side, gave the answer: "One hundred sheds can earn six hundred yuan. With a harvest every half month, you can earn twelve hundred yuan a month."
Tiger slapped his thigh: "That's right! This is just one shed per family. If each family built two sheds, we could earn even more!"
Wang Dahua was completely tempted: "My goodness, more than a thousand yuan a month, what's the difference between that and robbery!"
At this point, she suddenly paused, "That's not right!"
"You've squandered all our money, and now we want to grow mushrooms? Where are we going to get the capital?!"
