Chapter 272: Prosperity
If possible, Ding Guo would definitely want to get every one of these talented college students into his own bowl.
But her store really doesn't need so many people because the scale of the store doesn't allow it.
Ding Guo lamented that her career was not progressing fast enough.
We are not hiring for the time being, but Ding Guo is happy to make some good friends. If you want to do a small business, Ding Guo is willing to give some experience based on each person's actual situation.
Among those who came to see Ding Guo, there were many who really wanted to try their luck or let their family members learn to do some small business to ease the financial pressure, and they took his advice to heart.
After listening to Ding Guo's suggestion, a male student in the class hurried back home after the afternoon class. He discussed with his wife and decided to start with small items such as socks, buttons, and hairbands to slowly accumulate experience and capital.
His wife was a little confused: "You are a college student, will it embarrass you if I go out to set up a stall?"
The male classmate laughed and said, "We earn money through labor, there's nothing to be ashamed of. My classmate ranks first in the department every semester and gets scholarships every year. He even runs his own clothing business. Let's try it too. I'll come to help you after school."
When his wife heard this, she hurriedly said, "Then I'll try."
Some people just listened and then stopped talking.
Most of them realized that they were not cut out for small business, so they calmed down and focused on their studies.
There are still two or three kittens who want to borrow capital from Ding Guo, or try to get the goods from Ding Guo without any capital.
Getting something for nothing.
Ding Guo wanted to make good connections, but forget about bad connections.
As the weather began to turn cold, Ding Guo received a letter from Dalin.
At the end of the summer vacation, my third uncle and aunt went back to their hometown together. Following Ding Guo's instructions, they quietly went to the commune to inquire about applying for a license to roast nuts.
The purpose of obtaining a license is to prepare for opening a store in the future.
The commune did not have any relevant business at the moment, so they went to the county with a certificate to apply for a business license for "San Auntie's Fried Nuts".
This name was given by Ding Guo.
At that time, they named the restaurants "Osmanthus Fried Nuts", "Ding San Fried Nuts", "Aunt San Fried Nuts", "Uncle Fried Nuts", "Good Mother-in-law", "Good Mom", etc., all of which are easy to remember and down-to-earth names.
Peng Guihua chose 'Aunt San's Fried Nuts' with a smile.
The county industrial and commercial bureau had to go through the formalities, so Ding Zhicheng and his wife returned to the village to wait and busy themselves with the autumn harvest.
In his spare time, he bought a bigger stove and a large iron pot at home, and went to the county every three to five days to speed up the progress.
This is also the experience that Ding Guo told them.
Nothing will be accomplished without urging.
After all, all self-employed businesses are still in the stage of feeling their way forward. If you don't push them, their progress will stop when they see that you're not around.
After a lot of hard work, they brought back their business licenses from the county town as soon as the autumn harvest was completed.
The old couple stopped working and asked for leave from the production team. They roasted melon seeds and peanuts at home. The aroma of the roasted melon seeds from the third room of the Ding family could be smelled throughout half of the village.
After roasting the melon seeds, they were packed into large and small packages with oil paper and carried to the commune to sell.
Ding Dalin also followed his brothers and sisters in doing business, so he went over to help, and he shouted more fluently than his parents.
The small business is actually pretty good.
This action immediately aroused the suspicion of the villagers, and some people went to the team to report that Ding Zhicheng and his wife were openly engaging in speculation.
The village party secretary said, "Let your children go to the town to find a newspaper and read it. The country now allows individual businesses. Ding Laosan's family has obtained a license."
The bad guy was confused: "What license? What is a self-employed business?"
It is no exaggeration. Even though the policy has been out for quite some time, the information has not yet spread across the country, especially in villages across the country, where many people are unaware of the policy.
The village cadres did know about this, but they were so busy going to work and coming home every day, dealing with village disputes, and responding to people who came to demand land division, that no one thought of promoting the new policy.
I didn't even think of letting my family try it.
There is no other reason, I am just afraid of policy changes and dare not try.
So when Ding Zhicheng went to the village to get a certificate to apply for a license, the village cadres readily issued it to him. They didn't dare to try it, but they could watch others try.
Especially Ding Laosan, if the policy really changes, he has the support of his niece and eldest son, so nothing serious will go wrong.
Unlike them, I am afraid that I cannot bear the consequences of trial and error.
Moreover, they are not only waiting to see the small business, but also want to take a look at the policy of distributing property to households through this incident.
These are all new policies. Once the trend of individual business is not right, even if the policy of distributing production to households is still being implemented, they will have to delay it and cannot respond rashly.
When Ding Zhicheng and his wife came back from the commune in the dark, they saw that their door was surrounded by neighbors who were waiting to see their license.
Peng Guihua was not annoyed. She opened the door with a smile and invited the neighbors in. She took it in her hands and showed it to them, but did not let others touch it for fear that it might be damaged.
Some people who were illiterate just watched a piece of paper with a big red stamp on it float past them, but they still found it novel and interesting.
"Guihua, when did this happen? Is selling things really not considered speculation?"
"Third brother, you guys really broadened your horizons by going to the capital. We, the rough folks, have never even heard of it."
Those who could read saw the name at a glance and joked with a smile: "Why is it called Third Aunt Chaohuo? Your niece gave it to you, right? Why not call you Third Uncle Chaohuo?"
"We should call Dayong's mother roasting nuts." A neighbor laughed.
The others laughed along.
Some people even joked with Ding Zhicheng: "Ding Laosan, why did you let your wife be listed as a figurehead?"
Ding Zhicheng laughed and said, "Whoever is in charge of the family gets to put his name on the list."
It caused a lot of ridicule.
There were still some melon seeds at home, so Peng Guihua gave each of her neighbors a small handful and asked them to taste them. She had to do business outside as well as business in the village. She wanted to let everyone have a taste first. Then, during the Chinese New Year, maybe some people would give up the supply and marketing cooperative and come to her to buy things.
He smiled and said, "The policy has been out for a long time, but no one dares to do it."
That's true.
Even though they have seen a ready-made example, and the license was approved by the county, some people still shook their heads and said, "You are too impatient. You should wait a little longer. Who knows if the policy will change?"
Peng Guihua just smiled and said nothing.
Wait a little longer? Wait until the streets are full of small stalls? That would mean a lot less money.
The melon seeds and peanuts sold in the supply and marketing cooperatives now have a single flavor. By the time everyone starts to work, there may not be people with quick minds and dexterity who can make dried goods with rich flavors. By then, they will be ranked behind others and lose the opportunity to create the preconceived impression that Guoguo mentioned.
Seize this opportunity. Even if the same type of flavored melon seeds are released in the future, people’s deepest impression will still be the melon seeds sold by "San Auntie’s Roasted Goods".
There was also a young man with sparkling eyes and active thoughts.
Peng Guihua has two relatives in the capital, and I heard that both of their families are cadres.
My niece and two sons are also college students. They know much more than these uneducated people.
She can do it skillfully, so does that mean the policy is stable?
Taking advantage of the chaos in the house, the quick-witted man got up and left, hurried back home.
But soon, the elders’ voices of opposition were heard at home: “No, the policy has just been announced, why are you in such a hurry? Let Ding Laosan and his wife try it first, and we’ll think about it later if there’s no problem.”
"Listen to your father. If Ding Lao San gets into trouble, his son and niece will back him up. If anything happens to you, will you let us live?"
"Yes, his uncle, we are a big family, you can't let us get hurt."
Peng Guihua was unaware of the farce going on here, and the house was still lively.
After everyone cracked the melon seeds, they praised the taste of the seeds and talked for a while. Then everyone got up and left. After leaving the house, many people sighed: "The third branch of the Ding family has really risen."
"It's all thanks to my niece."
"It's true. I used to think Ding Dani was a dull person, but I didn't expect her to be so successful when she grew up."
Not only is he successful, but he also knows how to be grateful, and he has helped his uncle and aunt's family to prosper.
On the way, they met Huang Meihua who was walking hurriedly to Peng Guihua's house. Someone who wanted to watch the fun shouted at her: "Huang Meihua, your third family is really good. After going to the capital, they dared to do business. The certificate they registered is called "Third Aunt Roasted Goods". It's obvious that it was your niece who came up with the idea. When can you ask your niece to give you some advice and do some small business?"
Huang Meihua was choked and couldn't get up.
Ding Guo is a vengeful girl. Although she doesn't cut off contact with the second branch like her father does, she is still not close to them.
Still, whenever there is something good, I always think of the third room.
The third room was almost pulled up to the sky by her, and didn't even look at her.
But Taozi was right. Their second branch also benefited from Ding Guo's influence, so she should stop muttering unpleasant words all the time.
For example, Taozi is very satisfied with her current partner.
There is also his second daughter. If Ding Guo had not sold his job to Taozi, he would not have been able to vacate the temporary position for his second daughter to go to the city to broaden her horizons.
Later, when he took the college entrance examination, Ding Guo sent a lot of study materials.
Although Huang Meihua was not very educated, she had witnessed the shortage of books at that time. The educated youth in the village cried in desperation because they could not buy books to study. It was so difficult!
Ding Dazhu organized a study class for everyone to study together. The educated youth were so grateful that they wanted to kneel down to Ding Dazhu.
"I'm not cut out for business!"
After quickly dealing with the neighbor who was causing trouble, Huang Meihua went straight into the third brother's house.
She knew that the third brother's family roasted melon seeds, so she came to get some. They tasted really good, much better than those sold at the supply and marketing cooperative.
Peng Guihua said that it was Ding Guo who taught her to do this.
Alas, I'm jealous, but it's no use.
However, she just found out what the certificate was today, so she came over to see what it looked like.
Speaking of which, Huang Meihua knew about that policy. Ding Li mentioned it to them when she came back from school during the holidays.
But once you’ve heard it, it’s over. It doesn’t cross your mind or your heart.
When she knew that the third family wanted to start a small business, she remembered that the policy seemed to allow it.
But she had no idea and no desire to try.
I'd like to watch the fun.
"Let me take a look at that certificate..."
Huang Meihua, as a mother, is not as good as her second daughter.
Ding Guo also thought that after the policy was relaxed, Taozi would be the first to respond actively in the second room, but he didn't expect it to be Lizi.
She suddenly received the things that Ding Li bought for Dabao and Xiaobao and then she found out that Ding Li had started setting up a stall after school.
In the letter, Ding Li thanked Ding Guo, the elder sister, for her help. She had not been able to repay her before, but now that she had earned money, she bought two sets of clothes for her nephew and niece to express her gratitude.
Ding Guo actually didn't help Ding Li much, and the help wasn't very obvious, but he didn't expect that the girl still remembered it.
Ding Guo accepted the thanks, wrote a letter to Ding Li, gave her some advice on how to run a small business, and sent the letter to the shop.
Just because a shop is open doesn't mean you have to ignore it. She, Dayong and Mosquito will take turns to go there to help.
Collecting accounts, distributing goods, and observing which types of clothes sell well, Ding Guo will draw new designs and retain some of the styles that everyone likes, so that the cooperating manufacturers can process and ship the goods in a timely manner.
The north and south have different preferences for popular items. If the models that don't sell well in the north are transferred to the sea market, they will be sold out quickly there.
The goods there were slow to sell so they were transferred to the capital, where they sold surprisingly well.
There are already two partners who have opened shops in Haishi. They also buy some goods themselves, but the most goods are still purchased from them.
Brother Bao also has fixed stores in the neighboring province, and he sells tens of thousands of items each time.
Of course not just one style, but a combination of all styles.
When reviewing the situation at the end of the year, Mosquito sighed: "It is better to have the policy relaxed."
As the policies were relaxed, they also loosened their hands and feet, and their earnings this year increased several times compared to last year.
Several people counted money until their hands cramped. I'm not just saying it, they really had cramps in their hands.
Mosquito rubbed the wrist joint where his thumb was connected, and smiled so hard that his teeth were showing.
However, there are some troubles. Imitation models have been released both in the south and in the capital.
This makes the mosquito a little depressed.
Ding Guo has seen it. The style looks the same, but the design is not as exquisite as their clothes.
When wearing the same style of clothes, Ding Guo's clothes look particularly elegant.
At that time, there were no regulations related to patents, and people's copyright awareness was still very weak, so it was not surprising that this situation occurred.
Ding Guo is quite open-minded about it, because she knows that this kind of thing cannot be stopped and there is currently no channel to protect her rights.
As long as their clothing styles are updated quickly, those who copy them can only follow behind and eat soup.
Moreover, the clothes produced by the Capital Garment Factory are also sold through state-owned channels and require cloth coupons, so it has little impact on Ding Guo and his business.
Ding Guo didn't plan to eat it all alone. Drinking the soup could feed many workers and families, so he just drank it.
Moreover, her own clothing also borrowed a lot from later styles.
After taking stock of the year's achievements, Ding Guo and his colleagues distributed dividends, paid salaries and bonuses to the shop employees, put away the few clothes left in the store, closed the store, and prepared for the New Year.
Unexpectedly, Yu Shaofen came to find me.
After so much time, her chili sauce business has become more and more prosperous, and she has also hired help to handle the materials.
This time I came here to ask Ding Guo to borrow someone.
"Your shop assistants are on holiday? Can you ask them if they are willing to work a few more days to help me? I am overwhelmed with the orders I have."
I don’t know if the temporary hire is suitable, but the person Guoguo chooses should be right.
Ding Guo went to help ask around. Everyone was very enthusiastic about making money. They had been busy preparing for the New Year's goods for the family. When they heard that they could earn money for two more days, they were busy dividing the household chores between their children and husband. Their mother-in-law, who lived with them, was also asked to prepare for the New Year's goods. So they went to Yu Shaofen's house.
The third branch of the Ding family in Huiyang is also very busy.
Ding Dayong asked his former colleagues to collect a lot of dry goods from the Northeast and send them back to his hometown.
A set of stove and large wok were added, and the couple waved the shovel at the same time, frying peanuts in one pot and melon seeds in the other.
During the winter vacation, Ding Dalin skillfully weighed and collected money from neighbors who came to buy roasted nuts.
"Dalin, do you still have the candied walnuts your parents fried? Your little brother Goudan wants some. Weigh me half a pound."
Ding Dalin kept moving his hands while saying, "Yes, ma'am. I'll weigh them later."
"Third brother, are you going to make the rice popcorn candy?" someone asked loudly.
After winter comes, in addition to dry goods, rice candy dip is added, which sells very well, especially during market hours, it is more popular than peanuts and melon seeds.
It was a very cold day. Ding Zhicheng wiped the sweat off his head with a towel and said with a smile, "There is no more sugar left. I don't have time to make it."
Aunt San’s roasted nuts have become a small name in the local area, and melon seeds and peanuts are the best-selling items at the end of the year, so the supply is in short supply.
Supply and marketing cooperatives from other brigades came to them to ask for goods.
We can cooperate, but we must use the brand of 'Sanshen Guazi'.
The person who came to discuss cooperation smiled and said, "Of course, it's because of Aunt San's fried food."
Peng Guihua's arms were sore from waving, but the smile on her face never faded.
Before, they saw Guoguo and the others counting money in piles. Now they can also experience the joy of counting money in piles themselves.
Just a little tired.
She was too busy to buy New Year's goods, and was afraid that she would have nothing to entertain the children when they came back, so she called Guoguo and told them to celebrate the New Year by themselves and not to come back.
Dazhu was not allowed to come back either. Their cram school was getting better and better. They were busy during the holiday before the New Year, and classes started on the second day after the New Year. It was not worth the hassle of commuting, so he spent the New Year with his brother or sister.
Ding Dazhu was spending the New Year with his sister, and he also went to the compound with her. The old man and Pei Che came back.
