Chapter 1835
If I can't sell them, I'll take them all.
Upon hearing this, Sun Dafu's face immediately lit up with a smile like a chrysanthemum, and he said happily:
"That's great! How about this: we can't let the village use your truck for free. Afterwards, we'll just pile it up like your harvester and turn it into part of your wasteland. What do you think?"
Wang An laughed and said nonchalantly:
"Sure, whatever you say goes, whatever you say, Master Sun."
In fact, although it was Wang An who suggested using his own Liberation truck to transport supplies and building materials, Wang An didn't really think about asking for any reward. After all, it was just a simple favor, and it wouldn't cost Wang An much money.
But at this moment, in front of a large group of people in the village, it was absolutely impossible to say something like "free".
Because many shameless people will take this kind of thing for granted, and if they use Wang Anjia's car for official business in the future, they will also take it for granted.
Although Wang An's family also holds a significant share in the plastic greenhouse cooperative, public and private matters are distinct, and Wang An doesn't want to continue providing free services to the village.
After finalizing the departure time for tomorrow morning, Sun Dafu suddenly said with a worried look on his face:
“Xiao An, let me tell you, this money is going out of our hands every day, it’s making me nervous. Give me a heads-up, when these vegetables are grown, will we be able to sell them? If we can’t sell them, we’re all doomed.”
It's clear that Sun Dafu has been worried about this matter the whole time.
Just a few days earlier, under the instructions of the township, Sun Dafu had already handed over a large portion of the money raised by the villagers to the agricultural station and the textile factory.
After receiving the money, the agricultural station began preparing materials related to plastic greenhouses, such as plastic sheeting, vegetable seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides. Meanwhile, the textile factory was already producing insulation quilts for the plastic greenhouses.
This money, a full thirty or forty thousand yuan, was all spent by Sun Dafu.
Although Wang An had repeatedly assured everyone about selling vegetables before building the greenhouse, people are always prone to feelings of "gain and loss".
Moreover, such a large sum of money was spent through Sun Dafu's hands, so it's only natural that the organizers and leaders of Sun Dafu would feel worried.
Seeing the worry on Sun Dafu's face, Wang An chuckled, patted his chest, and said:
"Oh, Grandpa Sun, just relax. Even if it's 100 greenhouses growing vegetables, I can still sell them all, let alone just 45 greenhouses."
Seeing the still worried looks on the faces of the villagers around him, Wang An said again:
"Well then, Grandpa Sun, everyone's right here in front of us. I'll put it this way: if we can't sell them, I'll buy them all. Is that alright? Hahahaha."
Wang An wasn't worried about selling vegetables. He figured that the county town of DJ alone could easily absorb the vegetables grown in the village's 45 plastic greenhouses, plus the vegetables grown in Old Wang's family's plastic greenhouses.
Wang An had already planned it out. When the vegetables in the greenhouse matured, some would continue to be supplied to Wu Dong's unit, while the rest would no longer require him to go to factories to ask for connections to sell the vegetables. Instead, he would open several vegetable shops in the county town, and any unit that wanted fresh vegetables could simply come to the shops to buy them.
As the saying goes, "You can't make a sale by being too eager," and turning passivity into initiative is Wang An's style.
Mainly in the Lesser Khingan Mountains during winter, and even throughout Northeast China during winter, not only in this era, but even in later generations, fresh green vegetables are always in high demand. As long as they enter the market, they are always easy to sell and sell like hotcakes.
Of course, the premise is that the vegetables have to be fresh. They can't be frozen solid, or even rotten to the bone, otherwise no one will buy them. Hearing Wang An speak so confidently in front of so many people, Sun Dafu nodded and said with a smile:
"It's all thanks to you, Xiao An, that you're so reliable! Hahaha, I feel relieved to hear that."
Wang An then laughed and said:
"What's there to worry about? My family invested the most money. I can't let all of my family's money go down the drain, right, Grandpa Sun?"
Upon hearing Wang An's words, Sun Dafu seemed completely relieved, the worry on his face vanished, and he echoed:
"Yes, yes, that's absolutely right, there's nothing wrong with what you said, hahaha."
After Sun Dafu finished speaking, the villagers working nearby also chimed in:
"It has to be Xiao An; she really speaks so frankly."
"Xiao An is not only straightforward in his speech, but also in his actions. He's never had any trouble before, and he's got money too."
"If you ask me, if it weren't for Xiao An finding a market for our vegetables, they would have rotted in the fields and we wouldn't have been able to get them out."
"Yeah, these greenhouses, fourteen or fifteen acres of vegetables, you really need some skill to manage them."
"That old man's greenhouse is one example. Every time, he sells half and throws the other half away. I told him to ask Xiao An for help, even if it's cheaper, but he just won't listen."
As they talked, the topic veered off course. However, Wang An remained silent throughout, neither accepting the praise nor offering any rebuttals. His main concern was dealing with the villagers; as long as things were respectable on the surface, he was content. Saying anything more might be considered a mistake.
Seeing that the crowd's discussions were getting louder and louder, and that the topics of discussion were becoming more and more varied and covering all sorts of things, Wang An lost the will to stay there any longer.
After greeting Sun Dafu, Wang An led Wang Li and Huang Zhong for a stroll on the eastern hillside.
During their journey, they ran into Uncle Da and Uncle Er, chatted briefly for a few minutes, and then Wang An and his two companions went home.
On the way back, Wang Li took the initiative to say to Wang An:
"Fourth Brother, I don't have any work tomorrow, how about I drive with you to the county?"
Wang An turned his head in confusion and looked at Wang Li, asking:
"You're going? What are you going there for? There's no work at your house, and there's no work at your mother-in-law's house either?"
Since Li Xiuyu came into the picture, Wang Li has been going to Sujiatun every few days. If he doesn't go for two days, he'll definitely be there early on the third day. Of course, Wang Li will also occasionally help Li Xiuyu's family with some chores.
However, most of the time, Wang Li would abduct Li Xiuyu and take her to a cave or a deserted dugout in the mountains, where he would have a very friendly chat with her.
And you know what? Ever since Wang Li started feeding and interacting with her, Li Xiuyu, that pretty little girl, has completely transformed into the allure of a beautiful young woman. Especially her breasts, which have become increasingly impressive. Judging by appearances, Li Xiuyu can't even see her toes when she looks down now. (End of Chapter)
