The Big Landlord

After successfully selling his first pet pig, Wang Ben's confidence doubled. He looked at the pet shop owner with a smile and let out a proud chuckle.

The reason why he asked the boss to collect the money was because the customer did not buy the more expensive Teddy because of a small fragrant pig. This was already considered a loss of business, and it was still in his store. There was no way to justify it. It is impossible for him to come to the city every day just to sell one, so seeking cooperation is the last word. Besides, pets are not as good as fruits and vegetables, and they have to rely on pet stores to provide customers with follow-up service guarantees.

How could a shrewd pet shop owner not understand these truths? Since he dared to reach out to collect money, it meant that he was willing to cooperate and saw the market potential of the fragrant pig as a pet.

"Come on, come on, sit here!" The shop owner took the initiative to invite, serving tea and pouring water, very enthusiastic.

We returned to the negotiation table and finally agreed at a price of 450 yuan each. However, the boss was only willing to ask for 20 of the first batch to test the water. This is the case in emerging markets, and no one dares to take too much risk.

Wang Ben also understood very well and readily agreed without saying a word. After finding two more pet shops to negotiate cooperation, he finally sold dozens of fragrant pigs.

I returned home and waited quietly. In just a few days, three pet stores called to ask for an increase in the demand for fragrant pigs. The news of the dog restriction in Yongfeng City became more and more serious. After the fragrant pigs entered the pet market, the number of pets increased. Thanks to the store's vigorous promotion in the past few days, the market response has been very good. Many citizens gave up their original plans to raise dogs and started raising cute pig pets instead.

The remaining more than 100 pigs from the first batch were all sent to these pet stores. At this point, the market was finally fully opened, and there was no need to worry about sales anymore. The monthly income of more than 200,000 yuan was satisfactory. I wonder if over time, in a good modern city like Yongfeng City, pigs will be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys, and whether there will be another pig restriction order.

Find two villagers in the village who are doing bamboo work all year round, and ask them to weave cages for the fragrant pig pets. They buy them at a price of four yuan each. More than two hundred are needed a month, so that the two villagers can harvest four yuan a month. , 500 yuan, which is very stable and can bring some small benefits to the villagers. Wang Ben is also very happy.

From then on, sending goods to the city every few days became Wang Ben's must-do thing. This way, it would not affect his carefree rural life, and he could keep abreast of real-time urban development information, so as not to be out of touch with society.

In the blink of an eye, the day of delivery came, but there was a continuous heavy rain in the sky. The tractor-taught roads were covered with water, and the remaining roads of the silk factory were all turned into mud. It had been sunny for several days, and the large trucks that came to pull the goods could not get in at all. .

Yes, we still need to pave a road. After finally earning a sum of money, we still have to keep it warm in our pockets, and we have to spend it again.

A construction team was called in, hauling in gems, cement, river sand and other materials to build the roadbed and pave the road. They worked overtime for nearly ten days and spent nearly 40,000 yuan. A three-meter-wide cement road was successfully built, starting from the highway. It is about 700 meters long all the way to the entrance of the pig house, including more than 400 meters of tractor road, plus more than 200 meters of branch roads leading to the pig house. It is much better than the asphalt road outside that gets wet in summer.

Wang Ben was very satisfied as he walked on the flat concrete road. From now on, he would not have to worry about delivery even if it rains heavily. When he has more money, he would make it available to every household in Xiushui Bay so that everyone would not have to worry about it. No more suffering from the mud.

It was another delivery day. I walked leisurely outside the pig house, looked at the tractor path, and immediately frowned.

There were at least seven or eight walking tractors parked on the cement road, forming a long row along the road.

Although they were parked at the side of the road and the tractor could still pass on the remaining road surface, the truck Wang Ben contacted was unable to pass at all.

No one buys tractors in Xiushui Bay, and there are no other teams in the tractor-trailer road extending back. The owners of these tractors are from the neighboring teams. They do not live next to the road. If they drive home, when it rains, they will They couldn't get out for at least two or three days, which would affect their business. They didn't dare to park on the main highway, so they simply took advantage and parked on the cement road.

I got on my motorcycle, notified the tractor owners one by one, and then sent them over one by one. They made several trips back and forth. It took more than an hour to finally clear the road. A truckload of mini pigs could have been sent to the city early, but what happened? At noon, two of the hotels were still waiting to be served, and they almost missed it.

I thought that the traffic would be smooth in the future, but just two or three days later, all the tractors stopped on the cement road in unison. They all said that building the road is convenient for themselves and others. Now that it is good, it is convenient for everyone and embarrassing for themselves.

What should we do? Wang Ben is one of two people. The mechanized plowing road belongs to everyone. If others want to stop, they can't control it. If they have to control it, they will become car gangsters and road bullies.

Fortunately, each road section is managed by the corresponding production team. After thinking about it, there is still a way to solve it. After some thought, I found Liu Changsheng, the captain of Xiushuiwan, and Wang Ben made pertinent suggestions: "Our team's mechanized farming road is full of potholes. Everyone wants to It’s very inconvenient to haul grain, fertilizer, etc., and the roadbed will collapse in the long run, so how about hiring someone to maintain it?”

"This is a good idea, but who is willing to do such a wasteful and useless thing," Liu Changsheng shook his head and said.

"Of course there are benefits," Wang Ben blinked and came up with an idea with a smile, "We can open a hole on the tractor road, and for every vehicle that passes by, the tractor will collect a toll of 1 Yuan, and the large vehicle will collect 2 Yuan of toll. This way The people who build the roads are motivated, and the cars that come and go have good roads, so we kill two birds with one stone and get the best of both worlds.”

"..." Liu Changsheng was speechless. Toll booths had only been set up on major highways and tolls were collected on tractor-taught roads. He had lived for decades and had never even heard of it.

After thinking for a while, he felt that this suggestion was indeed a good one and agreed on the spot.

After bidding farewell to Liu Changsheng, Wang Ben rushed to villager Li Sanye's home, which was the road construction target he suggested and Liu Changsheng agreed to.

Li Sanye is the younger brother of villager Li Laohan. He is in his forties today. Because he was born with a slight lameness in his legs, he did not marry a wife. He is the kind of person who can feed one person and the whole family is not hungry. He wants to have more free time to take care of the machine farming. Tao, and also supported this villager in this way.

There are still more than ten vehicles passing by on the farmland road every day. During the season when public grain is delivered, or when someone is repairing a house, there will be more. It is no problem to earn three to four hundred yuan a month, and it will not delay farming. Li The third master was naturally very happy. He picked up the hoe on the spot and prepared to build the road. He also thanked the team repeatedly for giving him this opportunity.

Returning to the road again, he dug a pit about one meter long, more than one meter wide, and half a meter deep on the recently repaired cement road, and then used the tree trunk to make a wooden raft with a firm hoop and handed it to Li Sanye. , who gave money to lay wooden rafts as a road bridge to allow cars to pass.

The effect of this method is really good. After this pitfall, the tractor owners turned around and left one after another when they heard that they wanted money. They parked for two yuan a night, which is sixty a month. It is not easy to make some money, coming all the way. After pulling a full truckload of goods, they could only receive more than a dozen yuan including gas money. They were not willing to waste it here, and besides, there were many rainy days.

Finally, there was no need to delay the delivery, the road conditions in the village were improved, and he also helped a villager. It was really killing three birds with one stone. Wang Ben was very happy, satisfied and proud.
