Lu Qiuying was deeply moved upon hearing this.

Targeted customers?

What happens after finding the right customers? Lu Qiuying pursed her lips, as if she could see the beginnings of a business taking shape.

Before deciding to join the Ministry of Commerce, she had contact with the management of several factories.

She also accompanied her grandmother to many business meetings.

Lu Qiuying had a vague feeling about something at that time, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Now she has a vague idea that targeted customers are only one aspect.

It also requires scientific support and a combination of technology and marketing.

"Ayan, thank you." Lu Qiuying felt a sense of sudden enlightenment.

Lin Ziyan smiled, and she saw determination in Lu Qiuying's eyes.

The two walked out of the shrimp farm together, then went their separate ways to their respective homes.

Lin Ziyan turned to look at the shimmering sea and reached out to shield her eyes from the dazzling light.

Lu Qiuying returned to her grandmother's courtyard and immediately began packing her luggage.

When she had almost finished packing, she took out an appointment document from her briefcase.

Lu Qiuying walked out into the lobby, glanced at the phone number on the document, and started dialing.

"I am Lu Qiuying, I am looking for Minister Hai."

She straightened her back, listening to the rustling sounds on the other end of the phone, her heart remaining calm.

"This is Hai Chuyang." A strong and clear voice came from the other end of the microphone.

"Minister Hai, this is Lu Qiuying. I've decided on the province or city where I'll be serving..." Lu Qiuying briefly explained the purpose of her call.

Actually, when she came here, Minister Hai had already given her several options.

At the time, Lu Qiuying was not very satisfied.

That's why I applied for a postponement of my appointment, and I didn't even fill in the city where I would be serving.

"Okay, I hope you can achieve your goal as soon as possible, just like you said in the interview." Minister Hai said, and then hung up the phone.

Lu Qiuying pursed her lips, silently encouraging herself, "I can definitely do it."

…

Time flies,

This is the first time Uncle Chen and his family's shrimp farm has produced shrimp.

Early in the morning, the partners arrived at the shrimp farm.

They leaned against the edge of the pool, watching the lively shrimp, their hearts pounding with excitement.

"Old Chen, we really caught shrimp!" Wei Yu excitedly patted Uncle Chen on the shoulder.

Uncle Chen's hands trembled slightly; he had been so excited last night that he hadn't slept a wink.

"Yes, Ayan has already cultivated new shrimp larvae."

"For the next batch, shall we buy shrimp larvae? Will that be considered a formal cooperation?" Uncle Chen asked for their opinions.

Everyone nodded without hesitation.

The fact that the shrimp farm was able to be established shows that their previous plans were feasible.

Having an income and not having to leave one's hometown is better than anything else.

The group waited a while.

Lin Ziyan and Fatty brought over a few aunties and picked out the shrimp by size.

The shrimp from Haibi Village shrimp farm have gained trust due to their quality.

Huo Qizhen didn't come this time; he only sent a driver to pick up the shrimp.

Aunt Wang even called the village store directly and asked them to rent an oxcart from the village to deliver the shrimp to the town.

"Boss Huo and Aunt Wang have prepaid, so you can just help pack the shrimp." Lin Ziyan watched for a while, then left; she still needed to check on the construction progress of the new shrimp farm.

The chubby girl supervised the entire process to ensure the shrimp were the right size and loaded onto the truck.

Uncle Chen and the others exchanged shocked glances.

Are bosses these days so easy to talk to?

This time, the shrimp were not only sold to two bosses, but also to out-of-town bosses who came after hearing about it.

In the end, all the shrimp in the shrimp pond were sold out in one day.

The chubby girl wasn't surprised at all. After finishing the accounting, she took the money and rode her bicycle back to the village.

It was getting dark, and several people were cleaning the shrimp ponds.

"Old Chen, let's settle the bill tomorrow and get ready to buy shrimp fry and raise a few ponds of shrimp!"

Wei Yu was the most excited, and he was full of energy when farming the pool.

Uncle Chen: "Okay, that's what I think too."

The others echoed, equally excited, and vigorously scrubbed the pool.

Under the moonlight, the shadows of the people washing the pool were elongated.

The croaking of frogs rose and fell all around them, as if celebrating their victory.

…

the next day.

After eating breakfast, Lin Ziyan didn't rush to the new shrimp farm, but waited for Uncle Chen and the others in the courtyard.

Grandma Lin sat in the inner room cutting paper, glancing at the doorway every now and then.

Jiaojiao and her second sister had already gone out to play together.

Sunlight falls on the grape trellis, casting dappled shadows.

Lin Ziyan calculated the total income of Uncle Chen's shrimp farm yesterday.

560 jin of shrimp, 2.5 yuan per jin.

300 catties of medium-sized shrimp, 2.1 yuan per catty.

268 jin of small shrimp, 1.8 yuan per jin.

Total income: 2512.4 yuan.

Fatty recorded the cost of shrimp food and medication, which amounted to 318 yuan. Shrimp larvae were charged 268 yuan based on market price.

The net profit was 1926.4 yuan.

Based on a 30% commission rate, their first batch of shrimp was harvested in 37 days, and they received 577.9 yuan, which is rounded up to 578 yuan.

"Ayan." Uncle Chen knocked on the door, and only after seeing her sitting in the yard did he step into the yard.

The group pulled up chairs and sat down.

Lin Ziyan showed them the list and then prepared a second contract.

Four people worked together and earned 144.5 yuan in 37 days.

During this period, all they did was provide the abandoned shrimp ponds and spend time feeding the shrimp, which cost them nothing.

This is more than two months' wages for an average worker.

Several people were so moved by the data that their eyes welled up with tears.

"This is the cooperation agreement. You buy the shrimp larvae, and the shrimp feed is purchased according to our specifications. We only take a 5% profit management fee." Lin Ziyan handed the contract to Uncle Chen.
