Actually, the county has a much better supply of goods than the village. For example, in a department store, you can find almost anything you need.
Moreover, Lin Mo had noticed this when he bought books before: anyone wearing a Zhongshan suit who went in to buy something didn't take out a ticket, they just took out money.
This means that the department store has the necessary qualifications to sell to the public. Although things are a bit expensive, at least you can buy things with just money and without being restricted by tickets.
The struggle to catch fish appeared to have failed, but it undermined the prestige of the production team.
Lin Mo planned to first get a motorcycle to make it easier for him to get in and out of the village, and then build a house on the plot of land next to his own house.
Just build it as a village store!
At this time, most of the villagers have gone to the mountains to trade camphor and pine nuts. After selling them to the village chief, they all have some money in their hands.
If you have money, you have to spend it. If we can set up a shop, the money in the hands of villagers who have money but no coupons will flow to us.
Although mosquito legs are thin, they are still meat, but Lin Mo didn't plan to make a lot of money through the shops in Zhiling Village.
The significance of the store lies in the fact that villagers will come here, and with more comings and goings, information exchange will also be concentrated in the store.
A store that can meet the villagers' daily needs will definitely be supported by the villagers, and the production team has no authority or ability to manage it.
In time, maybe the production team will protect our shop? At least it's a shop that's related to the villagers' food and daily necessities, so Chen Gang won't report it to the county, right?
At worst, just in case, we can tie Chen Gang up in our shop too. We can get him to come over by giving him a little something. He's just stubborn, but he's not a bad person at heart.
Um!
"whee."
Lin Mo, who was following behind the donkey cart, was pondering his own plans when he suddenly heard a sly laugh coming from ahead.
Looking up, the village chief's face looked like he was about to burst into laughter, his mouth stretched wide and unable to close.
"What are you laughing at?" Lin Mo couldn't help but laugh when she saw his expression.
"Hehe," the village chief chuckled slyly again:
"What are you laughing at? Of course, I'm laughing because we can finally relax after this trip, hehe."
Lin Mo was both amused and exasperated, and chuckled a few times in response.
The village chief can earn 45 yuan per kilogram from the 500 kilograms of pine nuts.
This is... 22,500.
It's likely that after receiving this money, the village chief would have enough to save Wu Ji's life, which is why he was smiling so happily.
"What are we going to do next? We've run out of pine trees."
"Take your time to figure it out. I still need to find a way to get those camphor and pine nuts out of the village."
The village chief was very busy. Although serving Lin Mo earned him a lot, it was only a small part of everything. The main source of income was the camphor and pine nuts, which weren't very valuable but still earned a lot.
As they passed the health station, the village chief and Lin Mo both glanced at it simultaneously before continuing to lead the donkey cart forward.
When they passed the department store again, coincidentally, they both stopped.
"Ahem, I need to buy a Zhongshan suit, otherwise, wearing this to the county government will attract too much attention," the village chief said.
"Hey, we need to buy a set too," Lin Mo thought. He'd definitely be coming to the department store every day to buy expensive goods and dealing with people everywhere, so he needed to dress presentably. His current attire made him look like a farmer from the village.
"You go ahead, I'll watch the donkey outside."
The village chief nodded and then rushed inside.
Everything in the department store was very expensive, so expensive that the village chief grinned from ear to ear.
There were many goods inside, a dazzling array, but the village chief didn't even glance at them. He just wanted to save money and had no intention of buying anything.
"Goodness, even the cheapest Zhongshan suit costs at least a hundred yuan..."
This price is a real pain in my heart.
One hundred yuan is enough for a farmer to save up for three years, enough to cover half a house.
When the grimacing village chief came out of the department store, he had already put on a Zhongshan suit.
It looks rather impressive.
"Go ahead and wander around. Take your time. I'll walk the rest of the way myself."
The implication is clear: don't follow me; you'll never get access to our connections.
"..."
Lin Mo was speechless and could only watch as the village chief led the donkey away quickly, disappearing into the night.
Turning around and walking into the department store, Lin Mo didn't head straight for the clothing section, but was instead drawn to the television sets on display for sale halfway there.
Although this thing was too old-fashioned and outdated for him, there had been a severe lack of entertainment activities in rural areas in recent years.
The villagers' first thing to do when they open their eyes is farm work, and their first thing to do when it gets dark is sleep.
Otherwise, the only form of entertainment in the village wouldn't be gossiping and whispering among themselves.
These televisions are all black and white, but...
Above a row of black and white televisions, there was a larger silver-gray television, which was clearly a color television.
It's imported.
"Wow, our county now sells imported color TVs too."
Lin Mo knew very well that at that time, China did not have much capacity to produce color TVs. There were some, but they were still in the research stage, and only black and white TVs were available.
If you want a color TV, you have to import it from Japan.
The salesperson heard his voice, but just rolled her eyes and ignored him, assuming he was just a country bumpkin who had just come to the city and was amazed by the fashion in the county town.
"Even if you look at it, you still can't afford it. That color TV is imported from Japan, and it costs two thousand yuan apiece."
The salesperson spoke rudely, then looked down at his watch, rolled up his sleeves, and saw that it would be nine o'clock in about ten minutes before he could leave work.
"Only two thousand? That's alright, not expensive." Lin Mo was tempted and wanted to buy it.
If we could set up a shed outside our store, put a row of small wooden stools, and put a color TV in front of it.
Wouldn't that attract a huge number of villagers to watch the color TV?
The location of their house in the village was not very good; in fact, it could be described as remote, and it was quite a distance from the village road.
If we had a TV, our house wouldn't be so remote anymore; instead, it would become the center of the village!
"Not expensive? Heh heh heh." The salesperson rolled their eyes again.
Lin Mo rolled her eyes at him.
I'll buy it in a few days.
We need to get the motorcycle sorted out first, otherwise it'll be hard to get the TV back even if we buy it; it weighs dozens of kilograms and is incredibly heavy.
Lin Mo rolled his eyes at the salesperson, walked around the clothing section, bought a Zhongshan suit, changed into it, and then turned and left.
Upon arriving at the agricultural machinery factory, Lin Mo pondered his words as he walked towards the security room.
Letters of introduction are hard to come by.
"Oh, here you are again," the young security guard said with a half-smile when he saw Lin Mo.
"It's no use looking anymore, you can't afford it anyway."
Lin Mo didn't want to bother with these snobbish people and was just about to give them a piece of her mind.
The young security guard suddenly leaned closer and said to Lin Mo in a noticeably lowered voice:
"If you want to see our factory's good stuff up close..."
"I'll take you inside for five yuan as a guide fee."
Lin Mo was a little surprised, but then he smiled as expected.
In reality, even security guards get in through connections. Once they occupy that spot, there are countless ways for middlemen and other middlemen to make money.
This security guard has impure thoughts.
Very good.
