September 17, 1981, August 20 in the lunar calendar.
That morning, the villagers of Wahou quickly discovered that some changes seemed to have taken place in Wahou that day.
At first, careless people didn’t notice what had changed, but just felt that there had indeed been a change. It was not until they saw a row of stalls in front of the shoe factory that they realized what had changed.
More than a dozen small stalls appeared in the open space in front of the shoe factory, displaying various rubber shoes produced by the factory.
Those who came from all directions to the shoe factory to buy shoes found that the shoe factory no longer sold rubber shoes retail. The people from the shoe factory told them that the shoes sold at the stalls in front of the door were priced the same as those sold at the factory.
When those who were buying shoes went over to inquire, they found out that it was indeed the case. So, those who came to the shoe factory to buy shoes would gather in front of these shoe stalls.
Moreover, there were not only people selling shoes here that morning. Jiang Jun was brought here by Wan Feng and he got some pants and clothes from the garment factory to set up a stall here. In order to make the scene look spectacular, Jiang Jun used the clothes hangers that Wan Feng had used before and stretched a long line along the side of the road. He hung the clothes and pants up, and the colorful clothes fluttered in the wind, making the scene quite spectacular.
The biggest attractions to his stall are girls. Whenever a girl comes, she will stay in front of his stall for a while. When she finds that the clothes he sells are only a few cents cheaper than those in the market, it will be easy for her to sell them.
There is also Lao Liang who likes to sell melons here, but most of his melons are bought by Wan Feng.
People from all directions did not come in all at once. Usually, one person left and another came, which created a scene of a long and continuous flow of people.
At Wan Feng's instruction, Chen Wenxin's mother made two pots of vegetable dumplings at home, and put them in bowls and went to sell them in front of the shoe factory at noon. At eight cents each, they were sold out in just a few minutes by the vendors and passers-by.
At that time, a steamed bun or flower roll cost five cents each, and vegetable dumplings costing eight cents were considered very expensive.
Chen Wenxin's mother sold two pots of more than 40 vegetable dumplings for more than three yuan, which allowed this woman to find a way to get rich.
These vendors made good income in the morning, so no one left at noon because this place is different from a market. At the market, there is no one there after the morning crowds disperse.
But it’s different here. Some people even come here on bicycles in the afternoon, so the vendors sell until three in the afternoon before packing up and going home.
When they were closing their stall and preparing to go home, Wan Feng came to them and asked about their income.
People at that time were still very simple and didn't beat around the bush. Wan Feng knew their actual sales situation just by asking.
On a day when sales are good, I sell more than 20 pairs, and on a day when sales are less, I sell more than 10 pairs. The profit of 30 cents per pair is still a few dollars in income.
Jiang Jun also sold more than a dozen pieces of clothing that day. Although the clothes he sold were a little cheaper than those at the market, the profit from clothing was higher than that from selling shoes, usually around 50 cents per piece. He also made six or seven yuan that day.
"I never thought I could make money right at my doorstep, and it's more than what I make selling popsicles and fish. I'll come back tomorrow to sell again. I'm close to home anyway, so if no one buys, I'll just pack up and go home."
At this moment, Jiang Jun was full of vigor and his eyes were dancing with fire.
Wan Feng hoped that these people would come again tomorrow, so he naturally expressed his support.
Businessmen are a group driven by profit. When there is profit, they are always the first group to rush to the front.
After those who set up stalls in Wahou yesterday earned income comparable to that of the market, it was only natural for them to appear here again the next day.
When Wan Feng wandered from his new home in Xigou to the team headquarters at the entrance of the ditch, he was surprised to find that the vendors had come again.
However, there was a change in the group of vendors coming in. Some families obviously had children with them, and some had only one child.
"Aunt, you are here again today? Why are you here alone? Where is my uncle?" Wan Feng asked a shoe vendor.
"Your uncle went to the market, so this way we can both do the same thing."
Farmers are not stupid. When they find a shortcut to get rich, they will burst out with tremendous energy. You will see that they will immediately split into two groups to operate.
What surprised Wan Feng today was that there were not only people selling shoes, clothes and melons, but also a few people selling fruits and one selling seafood.
The fruit sellers naturally sell products from their own fruit trees, which are nothing more than Guoguang apples and a kind of pear called Hongxiao. There is nothing else available in this season.
The seafood seller happened to be carrying two baskets of fish to sell at the back of the depression in the morning. He was surprised to see a small market here, so he stopped there.
The sales seem to be pretty good, and people from time to time come to buy one or two kilograms of it.
In order to show his support for the sale of his own agricultural and sideline products, Wan Feng bought some apples and pears and took them to the machinery factory to share with the busy workers.
Because it is autumn now, the machinery factory is very busy.
Although the thresher and peeling machine has not become a hot-selling product, we still ship out goods every day.
There is always a market adaptation period when a new product appears, and the peeling and separation machine is now undergoing such an adaptation process.
However, this rule is not very applicable when applied to tractors. It seems that tractors have no adaptation period. Since the Sutun Agricultural Machinery Company started selling them, it has always maintained a good sales volume.
Wan Feng also asked Zhang Guangdong to spend a total of 500 yuan to place advertisements on Bohai Radio Station and Bohai Daily. Now, not only Sutun Agricultural Machinery Company is distributing the products, but Bohai Agricultural Machinery Company has also started to distribute the products.
This resulted in a surge in tractor sales. Trucks were parked in front of the machinery factory almost every day, including those from the Sutun Agricultural Machinery Company and other agricultural machinery companies along the Bohai Sea.
As long as we can get two tractors together, we'll take it away immediately.
Even Wan Feng wondered who bought these tractors before the full implementation of the contract responsibility system.
The two workshops in the machinery factory that specialize in producing tractors can produce three tractors a day, but they have no inventory at all.
Because there is no time to produce, Zhou Bingde's one-ton machine has still to deliver two units.
Zhang Hai's mouth was as wide as the waist of a man's trousers, and it never tightened all day long. His hearty laughter could often be heard in the streets and alleys behind the wall.
Zheng Laosan was also very happy.
His son has been working for a month now. This kid and Xiao Jun have formed a team to pull bricks from the brick factory to the construction site together every day. I don’t know what’s wrong with these two guys, but they actually run four trips back and forth a day. This is a bit crazy.
In the first month, Zheng Laosan took home more than 500 yuan.
There was no reason for Zheng Laosan not to be happy. At this rate, he would be able to get his driving license back by May Day next year.
