From wilderness to palace

Chapter 5 Advice from Former Colleagues

Compared with when they came to the market, the villagers who rubbed their cars brought a lot of goods.When I returned home, I sold these goods and exchanged them for money, as well as some things that the villagers bought at the market.When I got in the car again and found a place to sit, I was naturally much more relaxed than when I came here before.

Just listening to the villagers' complaints, Liu Yaozu also knew that the cucumbers harvested by many villagers did not sell at the ideal price.It's just that in the countryside, this situation is very common.Those dealers who receive cucumber incense also have to make a difference in the middle.

If there is no money to make, how can they go to the market to collect the cucumbers picked by the villagers?

But Liu Yaozu is more aware that even if the villagers complain about the low price, some villagers will still go to the mountains to harvest cucumbers after returning home.Unless the price is so cheap that it is unprofitable, these villagers who want to increase their income will still pick cucumber incense.

Compared with the food grown in the field, Cucumber Xiang is purely wild, and it only takes a little time and effort for the villagers to go up the mountain, and it costs nothing.As for labor costs, in places like rural areas, unless it is handicraft work, who would recognize this?

Thinking back to the early days in the imperial capital, my mother also bought cucumber incense at the farmer's market, and the price of a catty could reach dozens of yuan when it first hit the market.The prices charged by those dealers in the countryside are indeed much cheaper.The price difference is naturally earned by the middleman.

"If you have the opportunity, you can try selling online. There is no middleman making a difference in price. Even if there are some postage costs, I believe the villagers will make more money. However, the cucumbers must be kept fresh and processed before mailing. "

Since he chose to return to the village to live, Liu Yaozu also planned to do something to help the villagers.To do these things, you need to have a plan.Not to mention the investment cost, just for online sales, someone must be willing to pay for it.

Liu Yaozu, who had this idea, really planned to give back to the village.In fact, the villagers in the backing village can also earn a lot of money by harvesting mountain products every year.But the real big money is still earned by those middlemen.

If we can integrate these resources, we may not be able to make a lot of money, but it will definitely increase the villagers' income.Nowadays, pure mountain products are becoming more and more popular among urban residents, and the prices of all kinds of mountain products are also rising year by year.

It stands to reason that the mountain goods become more valuable, and the villagers who harvest the mountain goods should also be able to make more money.But in fact, whether the villagers can make money depends on the mood of the traffickers.If they lower the price, the villagers can only sell it cheaply.

Apart from the three well-known treasures, ginseng, velvet antler, and mink fur that has been protected and become rarer, in fact, there are many good things in the vast mountains behind Shantun Village, and everything can be sold in the city. less money.

For example, pure wild black fungus, Hericium erinaceus, hazel mushroom and other mushrooms, unique nuts such as pine nuts and hazelnuts, and precious Chinese medicinal materials such as Gastrodia elata.Even if he didn't come back for a few years, these things are no strangers to Liu Yaozu.

Bringing the villagers back home after the market, Liu Yaozu also pondered whether to open a small store of mountain goods online.But after thinking about it, he felt that this kind of thing could be done occasionally, and if he regarded it as a profession, he might not have that kind of patience.

Realizing this, Liu Yaozu also began to think about how to deal with this matter without affecting his life.When chatting online with colleagues in the company at night, colleagues quickly gave suggestions.

"Master, if you don't have a lot of mountain products to sell, there is no need to open an online store. You also know that short videos are developing rapidly, and there are also a large number of Internet celebrities on the Internet. Isn't it easy to find an Internet celebrity to bring goods and sell some mountain products? "

Internet celebrities bringing goods is also an emerging profession after the rapid development of short videos.Even the company where Liu Yaozu worked before actually created a group of internet celebrities.But Liu Yaozu didn't like most of these internet celebrities.

As for the reason, it is also very simple. He feels that compared with celebrities, Internet celebrities are becoming popular on the Internet very quickly.Although there are some Internet celebrities among them, their character quality is indeed worthy of recognition.But more of them still like to cut vermicelli and leeks.

The group is mixed with dragons and snakes, and their quality is uneven.While becoming an Internet celebrity is very fast, it is also very fast to make an Internet celebrity cool.But Liu Yaozu knew that his colleague's suggestion was reasonable.

Perhaps because he knew that Liu Yaozu didn't like internet celebrities very much, his colleague asked again: "Are you really planning to come back?"

"What do you do when you go back? I don't know much about the company's operations. Besides, after several rounds of financing, the company has grown rapidly and recruited a group of professional elites. Apart from playing code, I am not good at anything else.

In the past few years, I have been busy with study and work. Now I have a rare opportunity to relax and enjoy life. I must cherish it.Although I have not been back for a long time, I am very satisfied with my current living conditions and live a comfortable life. "

Looking at the text sent back by Liu Yaozu, He Bin, who was sitting in the technical director's office, felt quite uncomfortable.Although this technical director was replaced by Liu Yaozu after he resigned, he is not jealous of Liu Yaozu at all.

On the contrary, in the growing and prosperous company, many executives during the startup period miss Liu Yaozu, the youngest but most skilled partner.But they all understood how Liu Yaozu felt when he left the imperial capital.

For many people, the imperial capital may be the city where they look forward to staying and settling down.But for Liu Yaozu, the city was the loss of his loved ones.If he continues to stay here, I am afraid that Liu Yaozu will not have the heart to work or even live.

If someone else said this, He Bin might feel hypocritical.But if it were Liu Yaozu, he wouldn't think so.Although Liu Yaozu is the youngest partner of the company's entrepreneurial team, he is one of the core members of the company's creation.

In the eyes of others, Jianyue Technology, where He Bin and others work, is the most potential emerging technology company in China.Unlike other network technology companies, Keyyue Technology has several world-renowned patents and is a company that truly masters core technologies.

And these patents that have made Jianyue Technology famous in the Internet technology circle, and even overseas technology companies need to pay, most of them were created by Liu Yaozu.Without Liu Yaozu, the company would not have grown to its present scale.

The colleagues who have worked with Liu Yaozu, although they are all older than him.But without exception, after working with him for a period of time, they were all impressed by Liu Yaozu's skills.In the network field, Liu Yaozu's professional skills can be called a leader-level existence.

Because of this, even He Bin, who is the technical director of the company, would respectfully address Liu Yaozu as 'Guru' when facing Liu Yaozu.During the time we worked together in the company, He Bin learned a lot about network development and security from He Yaozu.

Thinking of the topics we talked about before, He Bin suddenly said: "Master, why don't you post videos on the company's video website! I think that your current living conditions should be very popular with some young netizens.

You also know that the pressure of work and life in the city is high now. Your video of achieving financial freedom ahead of schedule and starting to pursue the life you yearn for should have an audience market.If you accumulate more fans, wouldn't it be easy to sell some mountain products in the future? "

Looking at the message sent by He Bin, Liu Yaozu also couldn't laugh or cry: "You want me to become an Internet celebrity?"

"I know that you have prejudices against the group of Internet celebrities. But you should know how big the market will be for this group in the future. If you don't want to cheat and deceive fans like them, then just manage fans who recognize you. ?”

Perhaps it was He Bin's last sentence that successfully moved Liu Yaozu. After thinking about it, he finally decided to think about it before saying it.The reason is that Liu Yaozu thought of a way to earn recognition value.

Compared with staying in the village and gaining the recognition of a few villagers, the recognition value that can be earned on the Internet will undoubtedly be more.Nowadays, in the short video field, there are many people who provide video production, and some of them shoot rural themes.

Shooting this kind of short video, the speed of earning traffic and fans may not be as fast as those who sing and dance to win attention.But in Liu Yaozu's view, as long as rural life bloggers focus on shooting video content, I believe the market potential is still great!
