"This requires you, the brigade leader, and several other village cadres to step in and consider what kind of model we should use to operate this side business."
For example, if we go into retail, the village might need to organize people to collect all the qualified bean sprouts from everyone and then take them to the market to exchange them.
Another approach is to transform individual tourists from other villages into groups.
Wishing you well directly sparked Si Tian's inspiration.
"That's right! If we can reach a cooperation agreement with the commune canteen, the canteens of the factories in the city, and even the state-run restaurants, we can deliver food to them a few times a month or a week."
Then we'll never have to worry about selling our bean sprouts, and we can basically continue doing this stably!"
Si Tian spoke with great excitement, but Wang Fulin listened with a sense of melancholy.
"Is this really feasible?"
As he spoke, he turned his questioning gaze to Zhu Qinghao's face.
Upon noticing his gaze, Zhu Qinghao went straight to meet him and nodded affirmatively.
"Uncle, this method is theoretically feasible, but we need to consider the specific circumstances on our side."
And I seem to have heard that our commune really encourages people to have side jobs, is that true?
At this point, Wang Fulin instantly gained confidence.
"Yes, our commune leaders are very open-minded. They have always encouraged us to do some side jobs within our capabilities so that everyone can earn more money."
However, we ultimately failed to get it going because a few of us cadres weren't quick-witted enough and couldn't think of anything worthwhile to do, so it was delayed..."
Towards the end, he himself became quite embarrassed, and his tone even revealed a hint of regret.
"So, Uncle Brigade Leader, have any of the other brigades in our commune successfully started any side businesses?"
At this moment, the two saw Wang Fulin frowning tightly and shaking his head in denial with a serious expression.
"No, Hongyang Brigade over there used to raise pigs, but accidentally, more than a dozen pigs died. This not only dealt a big blow to their own brigade, but also had a significant impact on other brigades in our commune."
This is why I said before that we wouldn't consider it if the cost was too high, because the team members were genuinely afraid of investing too much and ultimately losing everything.
If it were just a complete loss, that would be fine; but it's even possible that the entire brigade would be in debt to the commune, and every autumn harvest wouldn't bring them joy, but rather the burden of paying off debts.
After saying that, he let out a long sigh.
"You can't blame the team members. Everyone hopes that life will get better and better, but if we cause trouble and things get worse instead of better, who would be happy about that?"
Zhu Qinghao and Si Tian could understand the villagers' thoughts, but they were glad that the method they came up with was not particularly wasteful of manpower and resources.
Even so, they were all somewhat worried that this side business would eventually fail.
Thinking of this, Zhu Qinghao quickly added to Wang Fulin:
"Captain, there's a limitation to this: sprouting beans doesn't require any particularly high-tech skills. Maybe soon someone in our team will imitate it, and then our bean sprouts might not have such a good market anymore."
To overcome this limitation, we don't have many options. One is to add varieties that others can't produce, making them irreplaceable, but that's quite difficult.
