Chapter 746 Construction Site Economics
Liu Laoji has been standing at the head of the village to watch the excitement recently. Their village is located in the urban-rural fringe of Tianyang City, facing a wasteland where no food can be grown, and was sold to a developer from the south five years ago. As a result, the entire Northeast economy has not been good in recent years, and the developers have lost all their underpants.
It's just that last month it was rumored that someone took over the unfinished villa area. The person who took over has recently become famous in Tianyang City, known as Mr. Yuan, the Goddess of Wealth. It's inspiring to see people collect junk and start a family.
Old Liu was so listless that he didn't know what inspiration was or not. He only knew that since the opposite villa changed owners, the unfinished project started again. This start will make money!
In recent years, young people have gone out to look for jobs and never come back. With a net loss of population in the village, there are only a few elderly people left, and the family income naturally goes from bad to worse. Now suddenly there is a project, and some simple things allow some idle laborers nearby to earn some extra money.
For example... Liu Laoji specializes in selling his tea eggs. In the beginning, he just boiled the eggs laid by his old hens and sent them to the construction site for sale. Later, it was discovered that there were more and more people on the construction site, and his tea eggs were in short supply.
On the construction site opposite, more than 2,000 migrant workers gathered in a short period of time, and people from all over the world came to do part-time jobs. If each person had an egg a day, Liu Laoji would be too busy even if he was exhausted.
But is this tea egg easy to sell? Competitors also appeared immediately. Liu Laoji found out that the daughter-in-law of Lao Zhao opposite had also started selling tea eggs, and immediately robbed half of his business.
hateful!
Originally, Liu Laoji was full of hope that he could rely on monopoly management and make a lot of money selling tea eggs. Eggs that cost one yuan each are too cheap, and they should be sold at five yuan or ten yuan each. But now that Zhao's daughter-in-law comes out, the dream is shattered!
Just when Liu Laolan was thinking about discussing with Zhao's daughter-in-law, the two joined forces to raise the price. Not to mention five yuan each, at least one yuan and five yuan! But he found that the market economy was too annoying—in less than a week, there were quite a few people selling tea eggs.
Alas, tea eggs can be earned for one yuan each. There are more than 2,000 people in such a construction site, and the demand is not small, and a little bit of money is a little bit.
But the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family on the opposite side is no less ambitious than Liu Laolan. They found that there are too many competitors selling tea eggs and the profit is too small, but it is a problem for people on the construction site to eat.
The box lunch is a combination of meat and vegetables, and it is up to the person to be rich and thrifty. The wife of the Zhao family even got a special cooking truck and took the initiative to send the meals to the construction site to buy. The service is enthusiastic, the customer is the first, and the business grows immediately.
Now Liu Laolian will quit. He used to sell two or three hundred tea eggs a day, but now he can sell twenty or thirty. Not everyone who sells tea eggs can make box lunches, and some people are eliminated from the market immediately.
Liu Laoji also wants to follow the industrial upgrading, but he is not very good at cooking, so he can't compete with Zhao's daughter-in-law. Moreover, the woman not only did it alone, but the other party also brought her seven aunts and eight aunts over. The output of this boxed meal has been rising steadily, and the price has remained the same, but the profit has increased instead.
Seeing that the daughter-in-law of Zhao's family earns several thousand yuan a day from selling boxed lunches, Liu Laolan is angry and anxious, and such a good opportunity to make money has just fallen into his own hands.
hateful!
Liu Laolan's tea and egg business ended up in dismal business, until one day a foreigner lived in the villa area, and it was said that they were from India.
And that foreigner is also very interesting. He actually stood by the construction site and watched all day long.
He also took his family of ten to Liu Laolan's stall and bought a whole pot of tea eggs. After tasting it, he smiled and shook his head.
Although the language communication is completely chicken and duck, Liu Laoji quickly understood that the other party shook his head to indicate that his tea eggs tasted good.
This is the way!
Liu Laoji also decided to upgrade his business. He set up a Mala Tang stall, and he specialized in supper business. Now Zhao's daughter-in-law won't make box lunches in the middle of the night to grab business, right?
As a result, the Malatang business became an instant hit!
The construction site of the laboratory is shifted day and night, and the progress is constantly rushing, and there are people who have to work and eat in the middle of the night. Liu Laolan's stall was guarded by hundreds of people on the first night, because the business was so good that he almost died of exhaustion.
In the next week, Liu Laoji also followed Zhao's daughter-in-law to expand production, and called several of his relatives to help, and finally tasted the feeling of hand cramps when counting money—it was all a few cents in small bills, looking at a lot of money , In fact, only a few thousand yuan.
Since the construction of the main building of this laboratory started, the construction site has become even more busy, with various construction vehicles constantly flowing. It is said that several large construction teams from the province have come to grab this project with four floors on the ground, two floors underground, a construction area of 20,000 square meters, and a total cost of nearly one billion from construction to decoration.
And there are more foreigners watching the excitement on the construction site. From the beginning, there was only one Indian, and soon there were a dozen or dozens. Everyone pointed at the construction site.
What's so good about the construction site? Houses are being built everywhere these days, and the most unusual thing is the construction site. What Liu Laoji is most concerned about is his Malatang business, because the business is so good that powerful competitors will soon appear in the market.
After inspecting the market, Zhang Mazi from the next-door village believed that there must be a large number of people working and living in this laboratory. He decided to make a strategic investment in this catering industry, and introduced a more advanced business model and management in one fell swoop - he opened a restaurant in the village!
When the firecrackers fired for the opening of the restaurant, the business level of this restaurant was immediately higher than that of Liu Laolan's Malatang. Just a few hundred or even thousands of gross profits for a single table, the profitability has increased by ten or even a hundred times, which is enough to stand out from the crowd - the gang of small stalls in the village are all dumbfounded.
In the past, there was no competition. Whether migrant workers or foremen, they ate lunch boxed by Zhao’s wife during the day and Liu Laoji’s Malatang at night. But now on the construction site, anyone who has a bit of status and has a higher level of pursuit feels that Malatang is not up to standard and should go to a restaurant.
This is really productivity and production relations must keep up with the needs of the people for material and spiritual civilization!
hateful!
No... we can't let Zhang Mazi seize the top of the industrial chain like this, we have to take the initiative to develop to the upper levels. Liu Laolan learned from the painful experience, and decided to go up the grade, and setting up a small stall will not support the great cause after all!
What if there is no funds? Partnered with Zhao's daughter-in-law who also felt threatened.
What if there is no talent? Go to the city and hire a chef who can cook good noodles.
What if you don't know how to manage? Sending his son out to steal a teacher to learn art, he must continue his career no matter what.
When the main laboratory building was completed after three months of construction, Liu Laoji's Food City also lit firecrackers for its opening. Foreigners who have always liked to watch the excitement on the construction site are curious and appreciate their face to come to eat.
Laman, the management director of the laboratory, was sitting in the Food City, looking out of the window at the main building of the laboratory, which was completed in three months, and exclaimed in the Chinese he had just learned: "You Chinese are really amazing!"
"Hi..." Liu Laoji thought that the foreigner was praising himself, and immediately laughed and said, "We ordinary people have come here for thousands of years, what can trouble us? As long as we understand anything It’s simple. Come on, I have both Chinese and Western food.” (To be continued.)
