Chapter 1165: Making Money
The farm has livestock and off-season greenhouses, so there is plenty of work to do all year round.

After picking the melons, Lu Miao let Ling Yuan do his thing while she walked around and took a look around.

When Chen Xiangdong arrived, she was standing on a rocky hill, looking around with the help of the terrain.

Chen Xiangdong started calling "sister-in-law" from a distance, and Lu Miao waved in response.

Chen Xiangdong ran all the way to her side, leaned on his knees and took two breaths to calm his heartbeat, then quickly stood up again and looked around with her.

Looking at the area outside the farm, there were at least twenty workers busy at work, some near and some far away.

"Sister-in-law, I've found a tractor to plough this area. The problem of workers is easy to solve. There are many migrant workers from the suburbs who come to the city to find work in the labor market behind Qingta Hutong. It's perfect to let them do these jobs..."

Without Lu Miao asking, Chen Xiangdong moved his fingers back and forth and took the initiative to report on the progress of his work.

But halfway through, Chen Xiangdong paused and touched his head and said:
"The more difficult problem now is the cactus seedlings. I have sent letters to all my good friends, but so far there has been no good news..."

Lu Miao did plant some at home, but it was only in a small corner.

Not to mention twenty or thirty acres of land, I'm afraid even if you dig it all up, you still won't be able to plant a long ridge.

We have already invested several thousand dollars in leasing the land and manpower. If we still cannot get enough seedlings later, the plan will probably fail.

Chen Xiangdong has been very anxious these days.

However, Lu Miao did not regard this as a difficult matter:

"I know a few newspaper companies. I'll find their contact information for you later. You can talk to them and ask them to invest some money to buy a spot on their front page to publish an investment promotion announcement."

Chen Xiangdong was stunned for a moment.

I really hadn't thought of this idea before.

I have seen similar news about hiring odd jobs in newspapers in the past, but they were always in the corners of the newspapers.

They're going to put a horizontal front page cover, isn't that a bit too ostentatious?
Although economic policies have gradually opened up, Chen Xiangdong still feels that wealth must be made secretly.

If you are too ostentatious, you will be easily caught by others. You can't guarantee that people from both the open and secret paths will get wind of it and come to cause trouble...

Chen Xiangdong was worried and asked whatever he thought.

Lu Miao smiled calmly and said:

"You have to attract attention. If you don't attract attention, how can the news spread quickly? As for the rest...everything has multiple sides. Sometimes you don't have to be so pessimistic. As long as you don't step into the minefield, no one can touch you."

When Lu Miao said these words, she didn't mean to express that the industry belonged to her or that she was protecting it from behind.

On the contrary, given the nature of her job, she would never expose these things to others.

Regarding the factory and the store, she could only carefully study the "rules" and, without violating any rules, mobilize Chen Xiangdong and others to take advantage of the policy initiative.

As for daily operations and development, Lu Miao tends to classify the industry and Chen Xiangdong and others as independent entities, give them suggestions and directions, and let them grow wildly.

She herself was not too involved.

Then again, in the process of economic development, taxation is an important source of national fiscal revenue.

The increase in corporate tax rates is also contributing to the country's economic development.

The state will also provide a certain degree of support and protection to enterprises in terms of policies and other aspects.

Generally speaking, as long as there is no problem with you, no one can do anything to you.

Of course, there is a premise here.

It is best to know the law yourself. If you really encounter someone setting a trap, you can fight back in a minute...

Chen Xiangdong thought about these words and felt that there was some truth in them, so he nodded slightly.

Lu Miao smiled faintly, and then slowly changed the subject and talked about business:

"What's the current situation with the customized lipstick tubes and outer packaging boxes mentioned earlier?"

"I just called the manufacturer a few days ago. They said they have completed more than half of the work and will be finished in the next two days. However, it will probably take until mid-May for it to be shipped here."

Mid-May, that's about a week away.

Lu Miao nodded gently and asked:
"How's Meizi doing lately? What have you been busy with?"

"She learned how to mix lipstick from you last time, and now she's been tinkering with it at home whenever she's free. But she's been busy lately, and I haven't had the time to find the natural pigment powder she wants, so she's been making more balms..."

Chen Xiangdong said and looked at Lu Miao again:

"I think she's almost mastered the craft. The color and smell of the balm she makes now are very similar to the ones you made before."

Lu Miao nodded gently: "Take it slow, just make some progress in daily stability."

After saying this, Lu Miao changed his tone and said:

"In addition to putting cactus planting on the agenda, the essential oil cooperation with John King will also be expanded... At the latest, the Guangzhou branch can be opened in three months. There are many foreign companies and foreign merchants there, which means there are more opportunities for export."

Lu Miao carefully considered and communicated his ideas with Chen Xiangdong:

"As for hair ties, we haven't made any particularly outstanding and rare ones so far. They are not high-end and therefore difficult to sell at a high price. Later, the Guangzhou branch will sell these products as supplementary products. We will mainly sell lipsticks, essential oil soaps, and fine beaded and wire-wound jewelry... We are different now than before. We have some assets in our hands. Whether it is beaded or wire-wound, we can slowly replace the materials of average quality and use real materials bit by bit."

Whether it is "A Rose" or "Feast" in the factory, their initial positioning was not to target the general public.

It’s just that at that time, we didn’t have much capital, so the pricing was relatively affordable, so it wasn’t very noticeable.

Now that the family has saved enough money, it’s time to start making some adjustments.

The foreigners have already made enough money from them, and now it is almost time for them to make some money.

Chen Xiangdong was not a wooden man. He thought about what Lu Miao said and soon had some ideas in his mind:
"If that's the case, should we stock up on essential oil soaps and lipsticks?"

Lu Miao nodded: "If others like something and want to cooperate to get the goods, we should at least be able to help, but this situation is not necessarily absolute."

Chen Xiangdong looked at her blankly and shook his head, not quite understanding the meaning of this sentence.

Lu Miao asked with a smile: "Do you know what 'hunger marketing' is?"

Chen Xiangdong still shook his head.

Lu Miao smiled faintly and looked into the distance and said:
“The goods must be supplied, because in the initial stage of cooperation, the quality must be visible to people, but the supply cannot be unlimited…”

Things are rare.

Things that are easily obtained often do not reflect their value.

Naturally, no one would care.

If you want to be high-end, you must know how to create momentum.

Thanks for voting, kids!
