Chapter 242 Selling Vegetables
In mid-December, the first batch of greenhouse vegetables in Shanqian Township were ripe. This batch of greenhouse vegetables are mainly home-cooked dishes such as peppers, tomatoes, eggplant, etc. In today's season, these fresh vegetables should be on the market and the prices should be good, but no vendors come to buy them. Zhou Tianhao has discovered the problem, that is, the publicity is not in place.
The person who is responsible for the publicity work is Yan Jiafu, the newly appointed deputy township chief. Yan Jiafu also serves as the director of the police station. He should not be responsible for this work, but this is Ma Weidong's arrangement. If Yan Jiafu has also worked hard, why is it not effective? Zhou Tianhao summarized the reasons for the failure of publicity: it is not possible to promote greenhouse vegetables in official form, and it is impossible to have any effect. Just imagine, when you go to the county, report to the leaders of the county party committee and government, and ask the head of the county unit to help promote it. What is the effect? How can someone help you sell vegetables?
The absence of vendors caught Zhou Tianhao off guard. This batch of vegetables must be sold, and everything is difficult at the beginning. If you want to promote greenhouse vegetables in Shanqian Township, if the problem of vegetable sales cannot be solved, it will harm farmers and not do good deeds. Naturally, it is impossible to continue to develop greenhouse vegetables.
The first batch of greenhouses were mostly built with loans from township government cadres, and no one came to buy vegetables. In the past two days, there have been some restlessness in the township government, and the cadres are in a bad mood. The investment in a greenhouse is more than 300 yuan, including expenses for wood, cement columns, plastic film, etc., and some labor costs are not calculated. If you cannot make money, it is not just the greenhouse. All greenhouses are built in the best land. Indirect losses must exist, and the pressure you are under mentally cannot be calculated.
Vegetables must be sold as fast as possible and must not be accumulated. Jiajiale Supermarket can solve some of them. But nowadays, ordinary people are still accustomed to buying vegetables in the vegetable market. Not many people are actually going to the supermarket to buy vegetables. The sales capacity of supermarkets is limited. Besides, large-scale development of greenhouses and the final sales must be relied on vegetable vendors. Only when vegetable vendors come to buy vegetables can the sales of greenhouses be guaranteed.
The township government held an emergency meeting to focus on the sales of greenhouse vegetables. According to Zhou Tianhao's plan, the second batch of greenhouses will soon start to develop, and before the Spring Festival. Those who can produce a large number of fresh vegetables will not expect to encounter such a big problem, which is equivalent to encountering a blow.
Zhou Tianhao thought of two ideas. One is that the team members will carry out raw materials in pieces and sell vegetables. The first batch of vegetables is not many, and selling them according to this method may quickly solve the problem. However, the disadvantages of this method are extremely obvious. Most team members in Shanqian Township have little contact with the outside world and do not have many ways, so it is impossible to open the sales market. Moreover, if they do this, the team members will be scared and are obviously afraid of the development of the next batch of greenhouses.
The second method is that the team members go out to buy vegetables in person, and it is best to go directly to Chunshan City to sell them. If they can enter the sales market of Chunshan City and the greenhouse vegetables developed in Shanqian Township, there is no need to worry about sales. The advantage of this is that it can allow more farmers to develop greenhouse vegetables. Over the past year, the number of migrant population in Chunshan City has increased significantly, especially after the development of a commercial street, many foreign vendors entered Chunshan City. Moreover, the small commodity wholesale market is under the preliminary preparation process, and the plan has been issued. The Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government are working hard to coordinate. I believe that after the small commodity wholesale market is completed, it will attract more foreigners to come to Chunshan City.
Zhou Tianhao expressed two views at the meeting. This time, the team members' opinions were very unified and unanimous. They agreed that to go to Chunshan City to sell vegetables and open the sales market in Chunshan City. Ma Weidong's view was the clearest and analyzed in detail. He believed that if the vegetable market in Chunshan City was opened this time, Shanqian Township could develop greenhouse vegetables on a large scale. Moreover, Ma Weidong volunteered to lead the team out to sell vegetables.
Zhou Tianhao knew that Ma Weidong had the intention to make up for his merits. Since the two talked, Ma Weidong's attitude has changed a lot. He has become much more down-to-earth in his work and has become much more low-key.
Seeing that everyone's discussion was almost done, Zhou Tianhao finally summarized it.
"The ideas raised by everyone are very good. I think this way, let's not discuss too much. Vegetable sales are the most important thing. We must open the vegetable market in Chunshan City. Only in this way can we ensure the development of greenhouse vegetables. In this regard, we have reached a consensus. As for who will lead the team to go out for sales, I think this arrangement. I will lead the team to Chunshan City to sell vegetables. I am familiar with the situation in Chunshan City. This time, the sales must be completed in the shortest time. Only in this way can our next work be carried out smoothly."
Zhou Tianhao had just finished speaking, and Ma Weidong spoke.
"Secretary Zhou, I'll sell vegetables. You are the secretary, just coordinate and coordinate. If I lead the team out for sales and encounter any difficulties, I'll ask you to solve them..."
The other team members also spoke one after another, disagreeing with Zhou Tianhao going out to sell vegetables in person. Yan Jiafu proposed that he followed Ma Weidong out to sell vegetables in Chunshan City, opened the vegetable market in Chunshan City, and resolutely completed the task.
Zhou Tianhao did not agree with Ma Weidong's point of view, although he knew that Ma Weidong was sincere.
"Don't argue about selling vegetables. I have decided. Besides, if I go to Chunshan City to sell vegetables, I can live at home, at least save one person's accommodation fee. This is also money. If I coordinate later and encounter problems, I still need to come forward, which will delay time. Now, our most precious thing is time..."
After the meeting, Yan Jiafu took the jeep from the police station and quickly contacted the agricultural truck that was dragging vegetables. The vegetables in more than 20 greenhouses needed two agricultural trucks, and they had to be weighed. They had to keep the accounts in half a day to complete the work. It was not easy. Early the next morning, Zhou Tianhao was about to set off with him.
Zhou Tianhao returned to the office, and Ma Weidong came in quickly.
"Secretary Zhou, I did not do a good job in vegetable sales in the early stage, which caused the situation today. I think I should lead the team out for sales. Should Secretary Zhou reconsider it? Besides, you are the secretary and have come forward in person, and there is no place for me to put my face on it."
"Old Ma, don't think too much about it. This is work. In fact, I have neglected the early publicity. After all, our team members have never really done business and are not familiar with the rules of the business world. It is normal for such things to happen. Don't blame yourself too much. Besides, I, the secretary of the village, is an ordinary cadre when I arrived in Chunshan City, and selling vegetables is not a shame. As long as the vegetables can be sold, they can open up the vegetable sales market in Chunshan City and develop greenhouse vegetables on a large scale. All the work is worth it."
"Secretary Zhou, I can really learn a lot with you. I used to work in the government office and had a strong sense of face. I would never think about selling vegetables, let alone do it myself. You came from the Municipal Party Committee Office and didn't care about these things and went out to sell vegetables in person. I believe that the vegetable market in Chunshan City will be able to be opened, and the greenhouse vegetables in Shanqian Township will be able to develop on a large scale."
"Haha, you're putting pressure on me. I don't know how this time is going, whether it will go smoothly. What should I do if I encounter a problem? Everything is unknown. After all, we are not business people."
After Zhou Tianhao said this, Ma Weidong was also silent. He had thought of this question for a long time.
"Lao Ma, I have considered it. This time the situation is special. If the vegetable market in Chunshan City is opened, there must be a group of vendors specializing in organizational work in the village. The township government cannot hold such organizational work for a long time, and it is not suitable. It is necessary to mobilize merchants to do these things."
"Secretary Zhou, I also considered this. I didn't say it at the meeting just now. I mainly thought that this task was a bit urgent and other things would not be considered for the time being. I think this way, you go to Chunshan City to sell vegetables. I will look at the village to see if there are suitable people or suitable merchants who are specifically doing such things. The sales have been opened. This is also a matter of making money, but it requires a certain amount of strength and credibility."
"Okay, we will do our work at the same time and strive to achieve substantial results in the shortest time. However, you should consider the key point of developing greenhouse vegetables, and the sales have been opened. This is a good way for farmers in Shanqian Township to get rid of poverty and become rich. We must attach great importance to it."
"Okay, I'll go to the credit union now and contact the loan matter. In the afternoon, I went to the village and discussed it with the village cadres to find some farmers with strength and skills as the focus of development."
Zhou Tianhao was a little helpless. This is the case with grassroots cadres. They have to worry about everything, or even go out to sell vegetables. If you want to sit at home and command comfortably, don’t think about being able to achieve work results. Many things need to be done by yourself. Only when the beginning is done well will the subsequent things become natural.
During the afternoon meal, Yan Jiafu returned to the township government. During the meal, he reported to Zhou Tianhao that all the vegetables in the greenhouse were returned. They started loading the car at five o'clock in the morning, mainly to keep it fresh. They could set off at eight o'clock. Zhou Tianhao nodded and asked Yan Jiafu to make corresponding preparations. This time he went out to sell vegetables, that is, he and Yan Jiafu, and did not even bring the staff. (To be continued)
