Chapter 20 Going into the City to Purchase (1/2)



The aesthetic standards of different times are, of course, different.

According to the current aesthetic standards, if Zhao Yong is a spirited young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, then Liang Gaofeng is an educated youth who is both red and professional.

Liang Gaofeng wore a pair of silver-rimmed glasses. He had a gentle appearance, yet was arrogant and talkative.

If he strikes a "forward" pose, he could be painted on a propaganda wall.

He has a good family background and it is said that his parents both work in the county grain bureau.

As for food, he is definitely a "rich second generation". No wonder he is the object of admiration of many girls.

But from Xiao Jiahua's aesthetic point of view, this student is probably still quite far from being the "school hunk".

Therefore, after realizing what was happening, Xiao Jiahua just politely called him, "Liang Zhiqing."

Yes, Liang Gaofeng had just finished two years at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University and was also faced with the problem of having to go to the countryside.

Fortunately, his parents had connections and they made a call to the supply and marketing cooperative to allow him to go to a supply and marketing cooperative in a surrounding rural area, where he worked as an accountant for the cooperative while joining the team.

Recently, a new rural supply and marketing cooperative was opened in Qinghe Village.

Liang Gaofeng looked at Jiahua and said happily, "Xiaoxiao, it turns out that your hometown is also in Qinghe Village. What a coincidence. After the goods are loaded in the afternoon, we will go back together."

Manager Wang took out the distribution list and was curious after hearing what Liang Gaofeng said: "So Xiao Xiaozhi and Liang Xiaozhi knew each other before?"

Liang Gaofeng: "I am two grades higher than her."

Xiao Jiahua: “We are not familiar with each other.”

The two of them spoke in unison, and the others were stunned.

Xiao Jiahua explained: "When I was in the first year of high school, we presented flowers to outstanding graduates as arranged by the school and listened to Liang Qizhi's graduation speech. However, we never saw him again after that."

Liang Gaofeng nodded: "Yes, Xiao Xue once worked in the school cafeteria to earn money for his studies. I was deeply impressed."

Xiao Jiahua: “…” He really is talking about things that are not relevant to the topic.

During that period, whenever the original owner met this senior Liang at mealtime, he would always give him half a spoonful of rice. How could he not have left a deep impression on him?

Xiao Jiahua didn't want to discuss this anymore, so he took the list and started sorting the goods.

Manager Wang said, "Xiao Xu and I have discussed this. Your site is large enough. For the first time, I will provide you with goods according to the standards of a township supply and marketing cooperative. We will provide you with everything from food, clothing, and toys."

"Manager Wang, thank you for your kindness, but it doesn't need to be so complete."

Xiao Jiahua took out a pen and scribbled on the paper. "Seasonings and detergents are necessary, so you need more of them. Enamel products and iron farm tools are appropriate. Bright cloth is enough, and less dark cloth. Good flour and rice are enough. Wooden and bamboo products are not necessary..."

"So picky?" Manager Xu didn't quite understand. "Why don't you want black and gray fabrics? Don't you want things made of coarse grains and bamboo? These are still popular in town."

"The target customer groups are different." Xiao Jiahua said with a smile: "There are factories and workers in the town, but only farmers in the countryside. The villagers only buy cloth to make new clothes when they celebrate their wedding day or when they are dating or getting married. Otherwise, they wear old ones. Some elderly people even have looms at home."

"I see. I'm sure you guys don't lack sorghum, cornmeal, or anything like that."

"Yes, as for bamboo products, there are bamboo forests on the mountains and carpenters in the villages..."

Xiao Jiahua concluded: "The population in cities is large, and everyone has a salary. When supply is less than demand, everything is easy to sell. But in rural areas, the population is limited, and the location is fixed. To distribute goods, we must have what others do not have and be better than others, so that supply and marketing can be carried out smoothly."

Manager Wang praised: "I have learned a lot. It seems that our urban experience alone is not enough. If we want to develop rural markets in the future, we still need to conduct more investigations and research."

Manager Xu looked at the list that had been revised many times and his face looked unhappy.

"Humph, the principal has never worked as a buyer, or even a salesperson, so no one knows whether this way of distributing goods is appropriate or not."

Xiao Jiahua did not argue, but said modestly: "Manager Xu is right. Practice is the only criterion for testing truth. We will know the truth only after the business opens."

"Practice is the only criterion for testing truth? It sounds reasonable. Where did you read this in a book?" Liang Gaofeng suddenly asked.

"Uh, it seems to be a commentary article from Guangming Daily?"
