60s: I have a store

Chapter 518: Let Village Chief Wang Become a "Trustee"

Zhou Yimin and the old branch secretary fished quietly by the river for two or three hours. The surface of the river was sparkling and the breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness.

Suddenly, Zhou Yimin jumped up excitedly as if struck by lightning, and the fishing rod in his hand almost fell into the river.

This sudden action startled the old branch secretary who was concentrating on fishing nearby, and he shook involuntarily.

The old branch secretary patted his chest and said with a hint of anger: "Yimin, you have to understand that I am old and can't be scared. My little heart almost jumped out of my chest."

Zhou Yimin finally reacted, an apologetic smile appeared on his face, and he quickly said, "I'm sorry, old secretary, I just thought of something and was too excited for a moment."

The old branch secretary's eyes lit up, and he immediately realized that Zhou Yimin might have a new idea, so he asked, "Yimin, have you thought of a solution to the feed problem?"

Zhou Yimin nodded truthfully.

The old Party secretary was so excited that he grabbed Zhou Yimin's hand and said anxiously: "Yimin, what is the solution? Tell me quickly."

He completely forgot that Zhou Yimin's action just now scared him.

Instead, it was Zhou Yimin who scared the old branch secretary.

Zhou Yimin cleared his throat and said, "My idea is that although we have lost the commune as a big customer, there are still many farmers in the villages near us. We can win them over. Besides, the output of our village is not very high. When the time comes, if we win over a few more villages, we should be able to digest the feed."

When the old branch secretary heard this, his eyes sparkled with excitement. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Yimin, this is indeed a good idea. What can I do?"

Zhou Yimin thought for a moment and said, "Old Party Secretary, you are responsible for inviting the heads of the surrounding villages, and I will take care of the rest!"

In order to make this promotion more attractive, Zhou Yimin planned to ask the village chief Wang of Shangshui Village to be the "agent". He believed that this would definitely attract villagers from nearby villages.

In later generations, this kind of "trust" was a very normal thing, and even some industries such as meal trust and wine trust were derived.

The old branch secretary nodded. At the moment, he had no intention of fishing anymore. He threw away his fishing rod, stood up, hurriedly left the river and walked towards the village.

He found Zhou Zhiming and said anxiously: "Zhiming, hurry up, drive the tractor and follow me to pick up the head of the neighboring village. This matter is urgent, we have to get it done quickly."

Zhou Zhiming looked at the anxious look of the old branch secretary. Although he was confused, he followed the old branch secretary to the tractor without saying a word. Then he jumped directly on the tractor, started the engine, and drove towards the neighboring village with the old branch secretary.

Zhou Yimin also hurriedly packed up his fishing tools, carefully picked up the fish in the bucket, and took these "trophies" back home.

After putting his things away, he got on his motorcycle, gave a kick, and the motorcycle sped towards Shangshui Village.

As soon as he arrived in Shangshui Village, Zhou Yimin went straight to the home of Village Chief Wang.

He was extremely anxious, his steps were hurried, and beads of sweat covered his forehead. Village Chief Wang was busy in the yard, and when he saw Zhou Yimin rushing over, he asked curiously, "Yimin, what do you want to talk to me about?"

It was the first time that Village Chief Wang saw Zhou Yimin so anxious. He was usually very calm and not so anxious.

He also wanted to know what had happened that could make Zhou Yimin, who was usually calm, become like this.

Zhou Yimin got straight to the point and said, "Village Chief Wang, I want to ask you for a favor!"

Then, he told the whole story about the unsale of Zhoujiazhuang feed and his plan to invite the village chiefs from nearby villages to promote the feed, with the intention of having Village Chief Wang act as a "stooge".

After hearing this, Village Chief Wang smiled and waved his hands, saying, "Oh, I thought it was a big deal, but it turns out to be just this. No problem, I'll take care of it!"

Of course, this opportunity to get closer to Zhou Yimin cannot be missed. There will be many things in the village in the future that will require Zhou Yimin's help.

After saying that, Village Chief Wang followed Zhou Yimin out. When he saw the motorcycle parked at the door, his eyes suddenly lit up. He didn’t expect that he could ride a motorcycle. This time he didn’t lose anything, he made a lot of money!

Zhou Yimin came to the motorcycle, took a step, sat on it, and motioned to Village Chief Wang to get on as well.

Village chief Wang sat on it carefully, fearing that if he used too much force, he would cause damage to the motorcycle.

It was his first time riding a motorcycle. He was very curious about this new thing, with excitement flashing in his eyes. He reached out to touch it from time to time, muttering, "This thing is really rare. I haven't ridden it before."

Seeing this, Zhou Yimin smiled slightly and said nothing. He started the motorcycle and drove towards Zhoujiazhuang with Village Chief Wang.

Soon, Zhou Yimin returned to Zhoujiazhuang first. He came to the old branch secretary's house and sat in the yard waiting.

Not long after, the old branch secretary also rushed back with six village heads from nearby villages.

The old branch secretary walked into the yard and saw Zhou Yimin. He smiled with satisfaction and said, "Yimin, everyone is here."

Then he turned around and introduced each village chief to Zhou Yimin one by one.

Except for Zhou Yimin, everyone knew each other. They exchanged a few words and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Then, we got into the topic.

Zhou Yimin cleared his throat, straightened up, and said, "I believe that the village heads have heard of Zhoujiazhuang's feed?"

All the village heads nodded, indicating that they had heard about it. After all, when the commune came, it was a big event, which made everyone very envious. Why didn't their village have such a good thing?

Zhou Yimin went on to say: "The feed in Zhoujiazhuang is carefully developed. We strictly control every link from the selection of raw materials to the processing and production.

This feed is rich in various nutrients and can help livestock grow faster and stronger. Take the chicken farm in our village for example. After using our own feed, the growth rate of chickens has been significantly accelerated, and the meat is more delicious. "

After listening to Zhou Yimin's introduction, all the village heads were shocked by the effect of the feed. Although they knew that the feed was effective, they did not expect it to be so good, and they couldn't help but show surprised expressions.

It's useless to say so much. Seeing is believing, hearing is not.

Afterwards, Zhou Yimin brought the village heads to the chicken farm in Zhoujiazhuang.

As soon as I entered the chicken farm, I saw chickens walking happily in the coop. They had shiny feathers and very strong bodies.

Zhou Yimin pointed at the chickens and said, "Look, fellow village heads, this is the result of using our feed. Every chicken is growing so well, which was unimaginable before.

Moreover, the village heads can also visit Sheung Shui Village. Although their village has not been using our feed for a long time, the effect is equally significant. "

After that, Zhou Yimin asked Zhou Zhiming to drive the tractor and took everyone to the chicken farm in Shangshui Village. The chickens in the chicken farm in Shangshui Village were in a similar condition to those in Zhoujiazhuang. Every chicken was full of energy. Zhou Yimin spoke again: "Village heads, Shangshui Village has not been using feed for a long time, but it has achieved such an effect."

At this time, the village chief Wang of Shangshui Village had not yet reacted. Zhou Yimin was anxious and could only cough slightly and signal village chief Wang with his eyes.

Village Chief Wang finally realized what was happening and said quickly, "That's right. It only takes about a month to see such an effect. After raising them for a while, they can be released from the cage. By then, they will cost three yuan each. I don't know how much money I can make."

When the other village heads heard this, they were all excited. Village Head Wang's words really hit the nail on the head and made them see the huge profits that breeding can bring.

Soon, everyone returned to Zhoujiazhuang.

Zhou Yimin then led the village heads to the feed processing plant.

As soon as you enter the processing plant, you will see the machines neatly arranged and the floor cleaned.

Zhou Yimin began to introduce: "Dear village heads, you can see that our production environment is still very good. The hygiene is guaranteed, so we can provide high-quality feed for livestock.

Our workers strictly abide by hygiene standards during the production process to ensure that every bag of feed is safe and reliable.”

Zhou Yimin went on to say: "The feed in our Zhoujiazhuang is the result of careful research and development. We have put a lot of effort into the selection of raw materials.

The raw materials we use are all obtained from the commune. These raw materials are the crystallization of the villagers' hard work. They are full of grains and rich in nutrients.

Moreover, in order to further improve the quality of the feed, we will also collect a variety of natural herbs from the surrounding mountains.”

As he spoke, Zhou Yimin took out a small cloth bag from behind him, which was filled with dried herbs.

He showed the herbs to the village heads and continued to introduce: "Like honeysuckle, astragalus, isatis root, etc., these herbs are carefully selected and dried by us.

They have the effect of enhancing livestock immunity and preventing diseases. We add these herbs to feed in scientific proportions so that the feed can not only meet the daily nutritional needs of livestock, but also help them resist various diseases. "

At this time, Village Chief Huang frowned slightly and asked, "Yimin, is this herb really as magical as you say when added to feed? Isn't it a psychological effect?"

Zhou Yimin was not in a hurry and patiently explained: "Village Chief Huang, this is not a psychological effect, but it is really useful. We are doing long-term business. If it doesn't work, then you won't continue to buy from us?"

Hearing this, Village Chief Huang nodded thoughtfully.

Zhou Yimin went on to say: "We are also very particular about the production process. We use advanced crushing technology to grind the raw materials very finely.

In this way, livestock can digest and absorb the food more easily, and the nutrient utilization rate is greatly improved.

Ordinary crushing methods may cause some nutrients to be lost, but our process can retain the nutrients such as protein, vitamins and minerals in the raw materials to the greatest extent possible."

Village Chief Zhang couldn't help but ask, "Is it convenient to feed the animals? We have limited manpower in our village. If it's too troublesome, we won't be able to take care of it."

Zhou Yimin responded with a smile: "Village Chief Zhang, you don't have to worry about this. Our feed is very easy to use. It can be directly mixed with grass or fed separately.

Moreover, in order to facilitate everyone to feed properly, we have also specially prepared detailed instructions for use, which clearly mark the appropriate feeding amounts and precautions for different livestock types and growth stages.

Even if you are a novice in breeding, you can easily get started by following the instructions. "

At this time, the village chief Liu, who had been silent, spoke up: "Yimin, the quality of your feed does sound good, but how can we ensure a stable supply? If we purchase in large quantities, we don't want to run out of stock."

Zhou Yimin answered confidently: "Village Chief Liu, you can rest assured about this. At present, although the processing plant in our village is not large in scale, it is well-equipped and the workers are diligent.

If the village leaders are worried, we can sign a long-term raw material supply agreement to ensure a stable supply of feed.

As long as the village heads place an order, we will do our best to ensure that the feed is delivered to your village on time and in the right quantity. "

After hearing this, all the village heads nodded. Zhou Yimin’s explanation was very clear and he also took everyone’s worries into consideration.

After Zhou Yimin's introduction, everyone was very excited.

At this time, Village Chief Huang raised the question that everyone was most concerned about: "Will this feed be very expensive?"

The conditions in each village are not very good now. Everyone wants to make money from breeding. However, if they find that it is not profitable after calculating the cost, then all their work will be in vain.

Zhou Yimin said calmly: "A bag of 100 kilograms of feed costs six yuan!"

When everyone heard the price, they were all shocked and started talking to each other. Village Chief Huang frowned and said, "Isn't this price a bit high?"

Zhou Yimin smiled and continued to explain: "You know, this price is not expensive. If you save a little, one bag of feed can be used for ten to twenty days, and two bags can be used for a month.

Moreover, using our feed, livestock grow faster and are ready for market in a shorter time. You should take into account the time and cost saved. It is definitely worth it.”

After listening to Zhou Yimin's explanation and doing some careful calculations, everyone found that the cost of two bags of feed a month was indeed acceptable.

After Zhou Yimin's hard work in promoting the product, the six village heads were all attracted.

Finally, they decided to place an order to test the waters. If it didn't work, they would only lose 60 yuan at most, which was still within an acceptable range. After all, how could there be a risk-free business?

Then each village chief placed an order for ten packs.

When the old branch secretary saw this, he was very happy. As expected, Yimin left and the problem was solved immediately.

They thought that if the effect was good, they would definitely continue to purchase.

Seeing this, Zhou Yimin waved his hand and said generously: "Don't worry, village leaders, we will deliver the goods directly to your door and ensure that you can save worry and effort."

Watching the village heads placing orders, the old branch secretary couldn't stop smiling.

He knew in his heart that Zhou Yimin's move was a brilliant one. It not only solved the problem of unsalable feed, but also opened up a new market for Zhoujiazhuang's feed.

This successful promotion means that Zhoujiazhuang no longer has to worry about the problem of unsold feed.
