Chapter 88: Money-Making Plan: Rich Wife Talks About the Importance of Packaging
"It's nothing. I just dug a big hole in the back mountain, tied him up, put him in a wooden box, and then filled it with dirt. But I had a plan. I put a pipe in the wooden box to let air in. I just wanted to scare him. Who knew I forgot about it later? I only remembered it when the police came to my door. It's nothing. It only lasted four days..."
Su Yang's words made Qin Shumo grin. Damn, it's nothing, just four days. Is that even human? This is burying someone alive, and burying them alive for four days, and you've forgotten about it? You're kidding me. Although I haven't experienced it myself, just thinking about it makes me feel terrified.
Being buried underground, let alone four days, even four hours would be enough to make people collapse.
"Don't look at me like that. I really was just trying to scare him. It was that bastard who wanted to bully Mother Zhang. If we don't use some tough tactics on him, there's no way to calm him down. Don't be fooled by the people in this village who smile all day and look simple and honest. But when they act like bastards, they are worse than anyone else."
Su Yang said bluntly, "Poor mountains and bad waters breed unruly people. In this poor mountain valley, many people have a weak sense of law, and when things go wrong, they are really bad."
It's not that Su Yang is a ruthless person, but that the people here have forced him to be one over the years. Otherwise, Zhang Mama, a woman, especially a beautiful woman, with no relatives in this village, who knows what will happen. Human nature can be terrifyingly evil at times.
To deal with these people, you have to be more cruel and vicious than them, and make them completely afraid of you. Only then will they dare not act recklessly.
It was a harmonious and warm meal.
Mother Zhang also told the three people many stories about Su Yang's childhood.
Although Su Yang was brave and aggressive when he was a child, he was a little adult. At a young age, he knew how to protect his mother Zhang and his younger brothers and sisters.
Su Yang was also very bright and a very good student. He spent much of his junior high and high school years studying on his own. He would simply pick up his textbooks from school and study in his free time in the village, asking Mother Zhang if he didn't understand something.
Even so, Su Yang always performed very well in every major exam, which was why the schools were willing to let him do this. Even if he didn't come to school, his grades would still be very good, and considering Su Yang's actual situation, the school compromised.
As long as Su Yang does well in every important exam, it doesn’t matter whether he comes or not.
Such a legendary experience made Qin Shumo full of admiration.
This is what a fucking academic master is. Compared with Su Yang, those so-called academic masters on the Internet just stand aside.
After dinner, Su Yang took Qin Shuyao for a stroll in the village. He was full of curiosity about the village and Qin Shuyao. The villagers looked at Su Yang and Qin Shuyao, whispering about them behind their backs, and the gossip soon spread throughout the village.
Su Yang and Qin Shuyao didn't say anything about everyone's discussion. After all, this was not something to be ashamed of.
"Su Yang, have you ever thought about leading everyone out of poverty and into prosperity?"
After strolling around, Qin Shuyao looked at Su Yang curiously.
"What's the use of thinking about it? The conditions in this village are too poor, and the transportation is inconvenient. Besides, I don't have time to take care of them. I'm already busy with my own affairs."
Su Yang said indifferently. The people in the village were poor, but so what? It had nothing to do with him. It didn't matter whose life was not hard. As long as he lived well, as long as Zhang Mama and the others lived better and better, that was enough. Su Yang didn't have any great love in his heart. He was just an ordinary person, so what kind of love did he talk about?
"Actually, I think the conditions in this village aren't bad. In fact, they're quite good. If we invest some money to improve them and do a little bit of marketing and publicity, we might be able to lift the village out of poverty and become rich, and even make a lot of money."
Qin Shuyao's words aroused Su Yang's interest. He thought he could make a lot of money.
Seeing Su Yang staring at her, Qin Shuyao smiled, feeling a little proud. "You bastard, you only care about money. When you heard that you could make money, your eyes lit up immediately."
"Look, your village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the geographical location is actually very good. The surrounding scenery is also very beautiful, and there is a small river next to the village. It makes sense to be surrounded by mountains and water. You just said that there are a few springs in the mountains and there are mountain products and game in the mountains, right? These things may seem very ordinary to you, but the rich people in the city really want these things. As long as you package them a little bit, you can cheat them all."
There was a hint of conspiracy in Qin Shuyao's eyes, which made Su Yang more and more curious and interested. Su Yang liked to cheat people, especially the rich.
"Actually, in today's society, a lot of things are all about packaging. It's just like in the entertainment industry: our artists need packaging, and so do branded products. For example, take your village's spring water. You build a small canning facility, then find a few so-called experts to speak out, claiming it contains certain minerals, and claiming it's delicious. Women drink it for beauty, men for aphrodisiac effects. It's absolutely accurate. Then, find a talented designer to design a beautiful bottle, and guarantee it'll sell for a hefty price. And if you then try to limit the release, claiming you can produce a certain number of bottles a year, believe it or not, that bottle of spring water could fetch hundreds of yuan..."
Seeing Su Yang's stunned expression, Qin Shuyao felt even more proud. Humph, it turns out that you, Su Yang, can also be shocked.
"If you can do this with water, you can do this with other things, too. For example, the rice grown in your village, you could create a brand and claim it's organically grown, irrigated with mountain spring water, and hand-picked by village girls. At worst, I could help you promote it. If you don't sell this rice for thirty or fifty yuan per pound, it's a shame to sell it. And the same goes for your homemade cured ham, your free-range pheasants, and so on. You can all use this same tactic..."
"As for this house in your village, we can set up a company later, plan it in a unified way, and build some B&Bs and farm stays. It would be even better if we could promote it well. For example, if we use this as a location for a movie, it would definitely become a hit. As long as we spread our fame, we can make money without doing anything. This is exactly the same as hyping up celebrities. Look at those internet celebrities or those young handsome guys, aren't they all using the same trick? Even young models outside the circle know how to package themselves with this trick."
Qin Shuyao spoke eloquently. Although Qin Shuyao didn't have a business mind, she did have a good sense of the bigger picture. Having been in the entertainment industry for so many years, she'd seen many high-end brands use the same tactics. Many so-called high-end brands and internet celebrity brands were created this way.
Qin Shuyao's words made Su Yang's eyes roll. He looked at Qin Shuyao and then at his village.
"What do you think would happen if we created a variety show to promote the village? Would we be able to make more money?"
Su Yang looked at Qin Shuyao and said something, which made Qin Shuyao's eyes widen. Creating a variety show to promote the village, is this serious?
"Well, I have a little variety show idea in mind, but I don't know if it will work. It's like this..."
Su Yang began to explain the specific plan for the variety show to Qin Shuyao. As Qin Shuyao listened to Su Yang's plan, her eyes widened and widened. Finally, she stared at Su Yang intently, feeling the urge to chop open his head with a knife. This bastard, what's wrong with his brain?
