Dashan Orchard 1988

Chapter 192: Canned peaches are easier to sell, right?
Li Muyang finally finished laying the groundwork.

As he said, he is an old farmer. With this status, there is no problem when it comes to farming, but if he wants to put forward constructive opinions on doing business, it will definitely be a trick.

Moreover, he and Wu Zhongshi actually only met each other a few times.

What they admire about each other is their character, or their demeanor.

Definitely not because of professionalism.

The level of trust created by this kind of thing is obviously not enough.

Therefore, he began to pile up his armor repeatedly and said a lot of polite words, just to catch Wu Zhongshi's interest step by step.

He waited until the boy became very curious and then prepared to release the bait he had prepared.

This is simple wisdom.

"Mr. Wu, look at this, we all know that fruits have certain limitations, right?
The fruits we like to eat may not necessarily be eaten by southerners.

What southerners like to eat may not be what we like.

A friend once went to Hainan Island and brought back some local fruits. He said they were quite expensive. Guess what, after I took one bite, I wanted to spit out all the sour water in my stomach.

Too bad to eat.

But just because we don’t like to eat it doesn’t mean that people over there don’t like it, right? This is the difference.

But, having said that, not all fruits are like this, there are still some fruits that people from both the north and the south like to eat.

For example, apples and pears are abundant here, bananas, sugar cane, pineapples from the south, etc..."

Wu Zhongshi found that Li Muyang seemed very professional and clear-cut when talking about these things.

He no longer had that kind of honest simplicity, but seemed to have developed another identity. Even his tone of voice was no longer so humble, but very confident.

He sat down by the flower bed, took out a cigarette and handed it to Li Muyang.

Li Muyang waved his hand and continued:

"...Of course, including Tao Zi."

"peach?"

"Yes, that's right, it's a peach."

Li Muyang's behavior was purely out of luck.

He said so much just to trigger his own things.

"Why peach?"

Wu Zhongshi was a little confused, "What is the difference between peaches and apples and pears?"

Because I only have peaches.

Li Muyang was thinking to himself, but on the surface he still looked serious and professional.

"Mr. Wu, of course you are great at business, but when it comes to your understanding of fruits, I cannot be humble.

Apples are good, but the taste of apples is not as ordinary as that of peaches. They all have a natural sour taste. Don’t underestimate this. It is because of this particularity that they are inconvenient to be made into food.

Take pastries as an example. At first, there were both apple cakes and peach cakes, but later on, why did only peach cakes become more popular, while apple cakes were basically nowhere to be seen?
Looking at canned food, there are canned apples and pears, but why are canned peaches the best-selling? "

"Which one sells the best canned peaches?"

Wu Zhongshi was a little confused. He actually didn't notice this.

He doesn't eat canned food much on weekdays.

"Of course, it's easy to verify this. Come on, let's go outside and take a look."

"Look at what?"

"You come with me."

Li Muyang pulled Wu Zhongshi out of the hospital. Outside, there were canteens set up around the hospital on both sides. Inside were some non-staple food, cakes, etc. for visiting patients.

The two finally entered a store. Li Muyang pointed to the canned food section and said, "Look, canned peaches sell the most?"

Wu Zhongshi took a look and it seemed to be true.

There are four rows in total, two of which are canned peaches, and canned apples and pears occupy one row each. It is easy to see from the dust on the cans that the canned peaches have just been placed, while the canned pears and apples are thickly covered with dust. The dust indicates that they have been there for a long time.

"Let's change to another one."

Li Muyang took Wu Zhongshi to the second house... and the third house.

Not surprisingly, I visited several houses in a row and they all looked the same.

It’s really canned peaches that sell best.

This completely frightened Wu Zhongshi.

He is a businessman. Whether the goods can be sold, whether they sell well or not, whether they are cheap or expensive, and how much profit he makes are all his concerns.

Now, seeing that the sales of canned peaches are so strong, I naturally have some recognition of what Li Muyang said before.

The two returned to the hospital.

"Brother Li, what you said makes sense. It seems that canned peaches are better than others."

"Well, you saw it just now. Are there no side dishes about apricots?"

"Seems to be."

"This is it..."

"But why?"

Wu Zhongshi fell into deep thought, which was inconsistent with his previous thoughts.

He also thought that there were many apricot trees and rich raw material resources here.

"There is no special reason. Didn't I say it before? This is because the taste of peach is more acceptable to the public.

To put it bluntly, there are many people who don’t eat apples and pears, let alone apricots.

But there are very few people who don’t eat peaches.

The reason is that peaches are very mediocre and don’t have a special taste..."

In fact, Li Muyang was talking nonsense.

He was just being clever.

The shops outside the hospital are inherently expensive, and most of the people who buy things in front of the hospital go in to see patients.

Think about it, if the relationship is really close, why would you buy things at the entrance of the hospital?

I must have bought them all in advance.

Buying at the hospital entrance is mostly a temporary idea, in fact, it is just a formality.

Then price becomes very important.

Li Muyang had already observed the canned goods at the door, and the peach ones were the cheapest.

Naturally, it will sell faster.

When people visit patients, they usually bring a bottle of canned food, a pack of non-staple food, and at most a bag of apples or pears.

The can is just a standard feature.

It’s not interesting what’s inside.

Of course, there is another problem. There are already pears and apples as fruits, so how can we buy cans of these two fruits?

Naturally, Wu Zhongshi wouldn't know about such small details.

He is a boss, so even if he really wants to see a patient, there will naturally be other people to handle these small tasks for him, so who knows the twists and turns involved.

This is a "dimensionality reduction attack."

"I didn't expect there was such a saying. I really didn't notice it. If you hadn't said it, I might have done it blindly, haha."

Wu Zhongshi was brainwashed by Li Muyang and was a little confused.

He actually burst out in admiration from the bottom of his heart.

Li Muyang was a little embarrassed when he said that.

He quickly changed the topic.

"Mr. Wu, can I ask you a question?"

"What? Just ask."

"I don't understand why you have to make food. If you really make money, there are many other industries you can do."

"Oh, you ask this..."

Wu Zhongshi took another cigarette, seemed to think for a moment, and then smiled: "I said it's a feeling, do you believe it?"

"Feelings?" "Well, it's just feelings."

Seeing the confusion on Li Muyang's face, he explained with a smile: "Actually, it's like this. As for me, I have made some money after working hard for so many years.

If this money is too much, it will burn like crazy.

Just thinking about doing something else.

If you don't think about putting money in the bank and not spending it, it will get moldy if you keep it, right? "

"Haha, that's the truth, but those of us who don't have money won't feel good when we hear it."

Wu Zhongshi smiled.

"Then what's the point? Some people don't know what the world is like when they have money, and they can eat, drink, go whoring, and gamble.

As for me, my family was poor when I was a child, so I had little interest in these things when I grew up.

I am just fascinated by this business.

No, not long ago, a friend I knew wanted me to invest in the south. He said that the south was about to face a great opportunity for development. As long as we go now, no matter what we do, we can make a lot of money.

I was moved.

I just went to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and also went to Fujian and Guangdong. There must be more opportunities here.

I also saw a few good businesses.

But every time at critical moments, I suddenly lose my mood.

Stopped.

You may not know, Brother Li, that business people like us actually value Jin very much..."

"strength?"

Li Muyang had never heard of this statement.

Even though he is busy planning to make money now, he actually makes a small amount of money.

Although it is said to be a business, it is actually still inseparable from the shackles of the small-scale peasant economy. ,

In other words, you can produce it yourself and sell it yourself to get profits.

This kind of business model without too many intermediate stages is destined to prevent him from being exposed to more business links and learning more knowledge and experience.

Even with the rural entrepreneur in front of him, the gap between him and others is obvious.

Apart from the clever tricks he played before, he is incomparable in every aspect.

Therefore, when Wu Zhongshi talked about business, Li Muyang pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

I just want to keep all the experience in my heart.

"The so-called Jin is a kind of momentum.

When I want to start a business, I have a feeling from the beginning. Once the feeling comes, there will usually be no problems. This is energy.

If you feel that there is little hope from the beginning, you are weak and there is a high probability that you will not make any money.

This is not superstitious. I have been in business for so many years and have already verified it. "

"Oh I got it."

Li Muyang was secretly disappointed.

I thought I was talking about flowers, but it turned out to be confidence.

Who doesn't know.

Just like when fighting a war, you need to have momentum and the drive to win.

If you are timid before fighting, then there is no need to fight.

“However, when I returned to my hometown, the energy came back again.

I mean it.

As long as I'm on our side, I have a lot of ideas and a lot of momentum, and I always feel like nothing can stop me.

At first I was wondering, is this just acclimatization?

Later I felt that this might be a kind of hometown feeling.

Because we were born and grew up in this land, it gives us great courage and makes us fearless..."

After hearing what Wu Zhongshi said, Li Muyang seemed to see light on the other person's face.

He has always felt that people of different generations have different characteristics.

The characteristics of Wu Zhongshi's generation are obvious. They have made money, but deep down they still have a deep attachment to their hometown.

This is true even when doing business.

To say this is a kind of sentiment can be regarded as sentiment, but it is more of a deep bond.

"Mr. Wu, I admire you very much. It's really good that you can still have this kind of sentiment even though you are so rich. If you keep at it, your business with us will get bigger and bigger."

"I hope so. Anyway, that's how making money is. There are losses and profits. I can't guarantee that every business will make money. But making money is part of human beings. If you can make money, it's fine. If you can't, don't do it. , I won’t care too much.”

"Open-minded!"

"I have kept in mind what your brother said today. I will go down and investigate carefully. If Xing is really not good, then I can consider Taozi."

"it is good."

Li Muyang did not talk about the Taoyuan incident, otherwise it would seem a bit too deliberate, which made Wu Zhongshi, who was not very determined, feel wary and felt that he might have set a trap for him.

He just wanted to wait for Wu Zhongshi to go down to investigate and then come to him.

If it really doesn't work, it's not too late to find other channels when the time comes. Just find a way to deliver yourself to his door.

After parting ways with Wu Zhongshi, Li Muyang hurriedly ran to the ward.

He didn't expect to be delayed here for so long. Others must have been waiting impatiently.

Sure enough, when I ran to my mother's ward No. 318, there were already many brothers and sisters standing there.

The eldest brother's family, the second brother's family, the eldest sister, the second sister, Xiaofeng, Muyun, and Qinqin Yuanyuan.

At this time, the benefits of having more children are shown.

The sons packed their things.

The daughters help with dressing, combing hair, etc.

Wu Zhongshi's old lady next to her was envious, with a sour taste in her mouth.

She herself had several sons, but none of them got married, which was really frustrating.

"Five, why did you come?"

Yuan Rufeng is in a particularly good mood now.

She never dreamed that one day she would be able to sit up and move her whole body.

The doctor said that if she recovers well, she might even be able to stand up again.

In the early days, she thought she wouldn't live much longer.

According to other paralyzed people in the village, they generally don't live long.

Now it is equivalent to his second life.

And the person who gave her a chance at a new life was her fifth son, who had always felt that he was an honest man and not very good at dealing with people.

So now Li Muyang has been promoted to the best son in her mind, much better than others.

Even though everyone was gathered around her, she was thinking more about Li Muyang.

Li Muyang agreed and stood with the other brothers. He did not deliberately go to his mother's bedside, so that the other brothers would not have a grudge and feel that his mother was biased towards her.

Sometimes, the relationship between relatives is also very mysterious.

When there is no money, everyone cares more about money. When life gets better, they start to care about things other than money.

It's hard to really not care about anything.

Li Muyang's goal is not only to restore his mother's health, but also to unite the entire Li family's brothers and sisters around her mother.

Let's all work together to make life better.

After chatting for a while, Li Muyang went to handle the discharge matters. After finishing the process, he returned to the third floor and met Professor Hu again.

Then he remembered that today was also the 21st, which was indeed the day Professor Hu was here for consultation.

Professor Hu must have just finished an operation and seemed a little tired. One leg was dragging the other while he was walking.
But the moment he saw Li Muyang, he felt like he was on stimulants.

"Xiao Li, I was just saying why I didn't see you, and you came. Come, come, come. I have something to tell you."
