"During the three months you've been away, a lot has changed in our Jiangwei. First, I've arranged some small businesses for each team according to your plan. Xiaoshutun makes all kinds of hats, Waqian makes all kinds of bags, Shanhou makes insoles and gloves, Dashutun makes belts, and Crouching Tiger..."
Zhang Hai talked about the business of each team without any hesitation.
"What do they use? They don't sew everything by hand, do they?" Although these are small businesses, they must at least have a sewing machine. Things like thread gloves require a machine.
How many pieces can you sew in a day just by hand without a machine?
"Sewing machines are no longer in short supply. I've told the team leaders that those who can afford them can buy machines. The brigade can lend them money for free to buy them. Those who don't want to use them can just sew by hand. Many families have already bought sewing machines, while some are still waiting and watching."
Investing in the purchase of machines is entirely voluntary. If you are not willing to invest, your output will not be as good as that of families with machines. Others will earn more and you will earn less.
“So, are we starting to produce the product?”
"Some teams have already started trial production, while others are still learning the craft. I have invited some masters from the county science and technology association to teach them the weaving and manufacturing techniques for these small commodities. The simple ones can already be processed, but the complex ones still need a few days of learning."
The manufacturing process of these small commodities is not complicated. It is not difficult to understand the production principles and processes and purchase raw materials for production.
As long as they master the production technology, it is not difficult for a family to earn a hundred or eighty yuan a month as long as they work hard.
"Once these products are produced, they can't be sold at retail prices at the market. You have to set a wholesale price that's lower than the market price while still making a profit. Don't expect too much. This is a volume-driven business, and it all depends on sales. If the price is too high and no one buys, it's useless to produce as much as you can if you can't sell it."
"We know this. I told them to sell a product for just a few cents of profit, so that the merchants would feel it was profitable."
Wan Feng nodded.
"But once they become proficient in production, you will have to check the product styles."
"Why should I supervise it? They can do whatever they want with it."
“The same thing that comes out of your head is not the same as what comes out of someone else’s head.”
I am a reborn person, so I am naturally knowledgeable and experienced. How can you, the people of the countryside, understand me?
You're getting cocky, that's not good! We should be low-key and modest. The Chairman said that modesty leads to progress.
"It's not that my brain is different from others, it's just that I think more and think from a different angle than others. The main thing you haven't grasped is the key. If you grasped the key, you can figure it out too."
Of course, Wan Feng didn't say that he came from the future, he was just looking for an excuse for himself.
"So how do you get the hang of it?"
"Take this hat you're wearing for example." Wan Feng gestured to Zhang Hai to take off the hat on his head, but Zhang Hai remained unmoved.
"You treat a green hat as a treasure? No man can wear this kind of hat..." Turning his head and seeing that Zhu Ping also had a green hat on his head, Wan Feng swallowed his words back.
Zhang Hai took off his hat reluctantly.
Wan Feng picked up his hat and began his speech: "When you talk about hats, the first thing that comes to your mind is that a hat should be like this, right?"
Wan Feng held up the hat by the lid and shook it.
"Are there any other types of summer hats besides this?" Liang Wan asked curiously. He also wore a hat, but it was blue instead of green.
It's hot at the end of July, so why are these people wearing hats? Aren't they afraid of getting heat rash?
They must have lice on their heads and are afraid that they will come out and be seen by others.
"You've only seen hats like this for years, so your mindset has become rigid. When you think of a hat, you subconsciously assume it should look like this. Let's do an experiment. Suppose I stretch this hat. Now the length of the hat is about one inch. If I stretch it to about two inches, is it still a hat?"
Zhang Hailiang and Wan Zhuping were all puzzled: "Does this look good?"
Do you look good wearing the same hats?
Wan Feng didn't answer their question of whether it looked good or not, and went on to talk about the next change: "The hats you wear are either green or blue. Can I make it white?"
Liang Wan was the first to burst into laughter: "That would be a mourning hat!"
The hats worn by relatives of the deceased must be white.
Wan Feng was speechless. These guys with rigid thinking had found fault with him.
"Let's not talk about white. Can we make it red? Yellow? Black? Let's take our thinking a step further. Can I make a hat with half red and half white? Wouldn't that be considered a mourning hat?"
Of course not. Who has a red mourning hat?
"Can we also use black and red, blue and green? Or even red, blue and white? Or I can use as many colors as I want..."
This doesn’t seem to work. If a hat is made colorful, wouldn’t it look like the flag of all nations?
Zhang Hai and the other two were caught in a mess. Can you play with hats like this?
Wan Feng pointed to the center of the hat and said, "I was talking about the color just now. I can also embroider a pattern here. Any pattern will do, any pattern that Luan Feng used to sew patches for others will do.
Kittens and puppies, Chinese characters and pinyin, I can also make a pattern on the back of the head, or even embroider a pattern on each side. Do you think this hat is still the hat you imagined?"
The three of them shook their heads together.
"This is the extension of thinking that breaks through the original rules and regulations. Similarly, if you apply this thinking to other areas, it will also produce magical effects. Just like Uncle Zhang Hai, if you and my uncles always have the man on top and the woman on the bottom position and feel bored, why not try some different positions? Maybe you will get the result of extreme ecstasy."
Zhang Hai was obviously listening very carefully, but why did the conversation suddenly turn to his kang?
"You little bastard, you're full of tricks. Are you and Feng'er just practicing this?"
"Hey, I can't tell you this. If you want to expand the joyful space between husband and wife, give me some gifts and I can teach you some tricks."
"Don't tell me, what the little bastard said makes sense. He really said that for a moment, it looked like he was just doing it randomly, but when he turned it over, the appearance of the product changed drastically, and it became a new product."
"Yeah, we never think about things this way."
You guys are all made of stone, how could you possibly think of such a detour?
