Chapter 367 The Gentle Educated Youth Loves the Rough Officer 41
These villagers were jealous of the money made by the Song family and wanted to get a piece of the pie. After the long-faced woman encouraged them, those who also wanted to take advantage began to agree.
"That's right! I heard that you guys don't make enough to sell. Why don't you teach the people in the village how to make it together and make money together?"
Lin Yi sneered and said to the long-faced woman.
"Aunt Wang, Uncle Wang is a famous carpenter in the surrounding villages. I heard that the furniture he makes is very popular?"
When Lin Yi asked this, the long-faced woman immediately became proud, raised her head and said proudly.
"My husband makes furniture that everyone in the surrounding villages would give him a thumbs up!"
Lin Yi asked again with a smile.
"I heard that many people come to Uncle Wang to make furniture, but he is too busy to handle it all. He now only accepts jobs with high bids. In this case, why doesn't Uncle Wang teach everyone so that everyone can make money together?"
The long-faced woman got angry when she heard this, and she jumped up and started cursing.
"You little rascal, you're obsessed with my husband's carpentry skills. How can your shabby stuff compare to ours? Our skills are only passed down to our son. If others want to learn it, they're just dreaming!"
Lin Yi was not angry at all and spoke to everyone with a smile.
"As you can see, Aunt Wang's family has a profitable business, but they are unwilling to share it with everyone. Today, I am speaking on behalf of our Song family. As long as there are people in the village who are willing to share their own unique way of making money with the whole village, our Song family will definitely not keep it secret and will definitely teach them one of our ways of making money!"
After Lin Yi finished speaking, Song Junchen, who had been silent, also spoke.
"As the eldest son of the Song family, I completely agree with what my wife said. What my wife said today is always valid, but everyone remember, it must be a way to make money. If anyone wants to fool others and take advantage of our Song family, I, Song Junchen, will never agree!"
Song Junchen is 1.9 meters tall and looks particularly oppressive. When he said this, he was holding a whip for driving cattle. Song Junchen exerted force with his hand and the wooden stick at the handle broke.
Those who originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity were suddenly frightened by Song Junchen's move, and they all left in a hurry with fear in their eyes.
Looking at the people leaving, Lin Yi was still worried and said to Song Junhua.
"Junhua, puppets and hair ornaments like us are easily imitated by people who know the business, so I said these words. If we want to make money in the future, we must constantly come up with new ideas. As long as we keep the first mover advantage, we will always make money!"
When Lin Yi said this, Song Junhua was listening carefully. Song Junhua now admires his sister-in-law so much. She just dealt with the most difficult shrew in the village in just a few moves, and she always has endless ideas when it comes to doing business.
"Sister-in-law, is there anything else I should pay attention to?"
Lin Yi thought for a moment and then spoke again.
"You saw the reaction of the villagers just now. If we are the only one making money, everyone will keep an eye on us. If we bring most people to make money together, those who want to make trouble will not touch our interests, so naturally some people will be willing to unite to deal with those bad apples!"
"But sister-in-law, you also said that our head flowers and puppets are easy to be imitated. If the villagers learn how to make them, they will go home and make them themselves, and we can't come up with new ideas, then how can we make money?"
Lin Yi admired Song Junhua's clever brain more and more, and he immediately saw the key problem.
"Don't worry about new tricks, my sister-in-law has too many in her mind. As for the villagers learning and selling them, don't worry about that either. Most villagers are more focused on the land. They only have the energy to do these things during the slack season. Sales also require skills. Not everyone can sell what they make. Some people will stop wasting their time after hitting the wall a few times."
Song Junhua thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case.
"Junhua, there is one more thing you need to pay attention to. We must ensure the quality. My sister-in-law will design a logo for the things we make. The things that come out of us must have quality assurance!"
"No problem, sister-in-law!"
Song Junchen didn't say a word the whole time. He just looked at his wife chatting with his brother with admiration in his eyes.
After arriving at the county town, Lin Yi and Song Junchen went to look for the materials Lin Yi wanted, while Song Junhua went to the place where he used to do business.
As soon as Song Junhua put out his puppets, he first attracted other vendors around. A vendor who was familiar with Song Junhua came over and after seeing Song Junhua's puppets, he couldn't let go.
"Junhua, how do you buy these dolls? I want them all!"
This man's name is Liu Bo. He often travels around doing business. He had been interested in Song Junhua's head flowers before, but unfortunately Song Junhua did not sell them wholesale. When he saw these dolls this time, he immediately smelled a business opportunity.
"Brother Liu, these were made by my mother and sister, and I just don't know how to price them! You are knowledgeable, what do you think these things are worth?"
When Song Junhua saw that Liu Bo was interested in puppets and thought of what Lin Yi said about wholesale, he felt that Liu Bo would be a good partner. He said this, firstly, he wanted to do Liu Bo a favor, and secondly, he wanted to test Liu Bo's character.
"I'll give you one dollar for each, what do you think?"
Song Junhua was stunned when he heard this. Is this thing so valuable? According to Lin Yi's estimated cost, a puppet can be made for a maximum of 50 cents. Excluding the labor cost, if it costs one dollar, there is at least a profit of 30 cents per puppet.
"Brother Liu, are these things selling well? If they are, I can make more for you!"
Song Junhua said excitedly.
"I can't say if it's selling well or not at other times, but it's definitely selling well at the end of the year! How many do you have left? I want them all. I'm going to the provincial capital tomorrow. This might be the last time before the New Year!"
When Song Junchen heard this, he immediately put away the puppet and pulled Liu Bo away.
"No, brother, why are you in such a hurry? I can't run away. I have packed your things, but I haven't packed mine yet!"
Song Junchen quickly let go of Liu Bo and said embarrassedly.
"I'm too anxious. I'll help Brother Liu collect them. I'll take you to see my sister-in-law. She drew all these dolls. You can talk to her in person!"
The reason why Song Junhua was anxious was that he heard Liu Bo say that Liu Bo was only going to the provincial capital once before the New Year, and he couldn't let Liu Bo take only these few puppets with him. However, Song Junhua didn't know how many puppets he could make before Liu Bo left, so he could only drag Liu Bo to find Lin Yi.
But when they arrived at the agreed meeting place, Song Junhua could not wait for Lin Yi and Song Junchen for a long time, and he was so anxious that he kept spinning around.
"Brother, you are usually a very calm person, why are you so anxious today? I am not anxious, so why are you anxious?"
Liu Bo looked at Song Junhua with amusement and teased.
