In the blink of an eye, it was the end of 1986.

This year, Jiang Tian still did not go back to school, but he became the most popular person in all the township middle schools in the county.

The reason was simple: because it was too troublesome to recruit "underage apprentices" sporadically, Jiang Tian established the first private vocational and technical school in the county - Xiangjun Vocational School - in the name of He Xiangjun.

In the autumn of 1986, Jiang Tian should have gone back to school, but she became the guest of honor of the principals of middle schools in various towns and villages.

He walked to the principal's office with arrogance, took out the vocational school's enrollment brochure, and talked directly to the principal about enrollment.

Speaking of enrollment, Jiang Tian originally thought that the vocational and technical school she opened would have to wait until the end of the annual high school entrance examination and college entrance examination before it could recruit those students who unfortunately failed the exam and ask them if they wanted to learn a skill or something.

Unexpectedly, Hu Qiongfang was even more enthusiastic than her and insisted that she go to school early to promote the enrollment.

"By the time the test results come out, it will be too late to make a living!"

"When the school is on vacation, where can you find those students who live in rural areas and don't have a phone at home?"

"Oh, that's right~" Jiang Tian suddenly realized.

Hu Qiongfang couldn't help but roll her eyes at her daughter.

"I told you and your brother to learn more knowledge. You are busy with your career and don't have time to go to school. Mom won't force you. But learning doesn't necessarily require going to school."

"Just listen to me, mom. I've borrowed three years of junior high school textbooks from someone, and we'll study together then..."

As the business grew, Hu Qiongfang felt that her primary school diploma was not enough, so she decided to teach herself junior high school courses at home.

She has already bought the textbooks, and the "tutor" is also ready. She is her own son, and not only does she not charge any fees, she also dares not to slack off. Where can you find such a good tutor?

The score was two to one, and Jiang Tian’s resistance failed. From then on, she no longer had the time to lie down freely at night.

Hu Qiongfang pulled him together and he started to study the junior high school textbooks with difficulty.

When the first frost fell, the annual pickled and fried food festival of Fangjie Hotel officially kicked off.

This year, Jiang Tian and her colleagues no longer asked passing truck drivers for help in transporting frozen hairtail from the south. Instead, they directly cooperated with the county transportation company and purchased in bulk.

First, the frozen hairtail is transported from the place of origin to the railway station, and then transported to the city railway station by train.

Then the county transportation company sent a fleet of vehicles to bring back carloads of frozen hairtail.

Hu Qiongfang did not eat all the frozen hairtail she brought back by herself.

Under the organization of Han Sishu, Shuangfeng Town established a catering retail association this year. Because Hu Qiongfang played a good role in setting an example, everyone elected her as the first president.

Some people who didn't know Hu Qiongfang heard that she came from the countryside and thought she was a big and strong country woman.

When I met her in person, I found that Hu Qiongfang was not only good-looking, but also very elegant in her manners and manners, and she was well-dressed. She didn't look like a rural woman at all, but rather like a fashionable girl on TV.

However, this seemingly delicate and weak President Hu is actually more open-minded than some stingy men when it comes to getting things done.

Before the convoy transporting frozen hairtail fish returned, Hu Qiongfang organized a meeting of all member units of the Chamber of Commerce.

Jiang Tian, ​​who has grown into a beautiful young lady, sits in the secretary's position, responsible for taking meeting minutes for her mother.

Hu Qiongfang was talking eloquently at the forum.

The money spent on newspaper subscriptions over the past six months was not wasted. After watching the leaders' speeches on the news every day, Hu Qiongfang can now imitate them and make a few polite remarks.

She first thanked the Shuangfeng Town Government for its support for the Chamber of Commerce's work, and then thanked the majority of member units for their support and trust in her and the Chamber of Commerce's work over the past six months.

Finally, on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce, we would like to express our gratitude to you all. This year, the Chamber of Commerce has organized a large-scale procurement of a batch of high-quality and low-priced frozen hairtail from the place of origin, and will supply it to member units in need at a price lower than the market price.

As soon as these words were spoken, the audience immediately started to chatter.

"I thought those frozen hairtails were purchased by President Hu himself."

"President Hu is so generous. He gave up such a good opportunity to make money just like that?"

"I think President Hu is a good person. We can make money together and boost the economy of Shuangfeng Town. When the people have money in their pockets, more people will be willing to go to restaurants to eat."

Hu Qiongfang's sworn sister Wang Chunjuan is also a member of the Chamber of Commerce. When she heard a bunch of grown men talking nonsense, she couldn't help but roll her eyes at them:

"After all that talk, is it too hot to say thank you sincerely?"

"This year, the price of the better quality frozen hairtails sold at the supply and marketing cooperative has risen to 90 cents per pound. The hairtails that Sister Qiongfang brought back for us are only 50 cents per pound, which means we can save 40 cents per pound. This is a gift to us."

As she spoke, she took the lead in applauding her sisters to show their support.

However, some people whose family members work in the supply and marketing cooperatives expressed concern about Hu Qiongfang's actions.

After all, their behavior of purchasing in bulk directly from the place of origin bypasses the supply and marketing system, causing them to lose a lot of money. How could they be happy with that?

"This is the significance of establishing our chamber of commerce. Only by organizing more centralized purchases like this can we reduce our operating costs and increase profits." Hu Qiongfang smiled and gently retorted.

"If the supply and marketing cooperative wants to bring back big customers like us, they can also come and negotiate a price with us. As long as the price is right, it doesn't matter who they buy from."

We now have a market economy. To put it bluntly, who would still tolerate the bad habits of the supply and marketing cooperatives?

Oh, they want to make money from us, but they are unwilling to give us a preferential price. When we go to purchase, they also make excuses, saying that the frozen hairtail from the supply and marketing cooperative is also distributed in fixed quantities, and we can’t sell all of it to them, and we have to keep some for the people...

Since you can't do it, someone will do it for you!

Jiang Tian bit the tip of the pen and almost laughed out loud.

Are you worried that the frozen hairtail at the supply and marketing cooperative won’t be sold?

You will have a lot to worry about in the future!

Jiang Tian didn't dare to tell others, but even around her, several groups of people had already quietly taken the train to the place of origin, preparing to compete with the supply and marketing cooperatives for food during this year's Spring Festival.

Han Jisong had taken the train to the new province half a month ago.

This time he was going to purchase a batch of dried fruits and frozen mutton and sell them at a good price before the New Year.

There are few large-scale sheep farmers in their province, and they cannot raise delicious sheep, but they all like to eat mutton during festivals.

In the past, we would stay up late every year to queue up for mutton at the supply and marketing cooperative.

This year, there is probably no need to queue.

At least Jiang Tian and his friends don’t have to queue anymore.

Jiang Tian had already booked a few sheep from Han Jisong in advance, and planned to give one to each family when the time comes.

Anyway, according to Jiang Tian's prediction, as long as Han Jisong can successfully transport this batch of frozen mutton back, there will be no problem selling it.

The difference lies in whether you earn more or less.

There are also various dried fruits that are specialties of New South Wales, which are difficult to buy in the province and are in short supply during the Chinese New Year.

In addition to Han Jisong, Uncle Hu also went out a while ago.

He saw on TV that a certain southern city was doing very well in the clothing business. In addition, Hu Qiongfang was already doing very well in the catering business, so Uncle Hu wanted to see if he could start some clothing business.

If they can succeed, the two brothers will develop their businesses separately, one in the catering industry and the other in the clothing industry, instead of eating from the same pot.

Jiang Tian felt that her second uncle was a natural businessman and his clothing business was great!

If you create a brand, you will have food to eat for decades to come.

Moreover, there are several large textile factories in this province. If my second uncle can really build up the clothing business, once he accumulates a certain amount of money, he may be able to open his own clothing factory and create his own clothing brand.
