Qian Cheng quickly calculated in his mind.
The city has dozens of primary and secondary schools, which process at least several hundred kilograms of vegetables every day. If they earn one cent per kilogram, that's a few dollars a day. If they earn two cents per kilogram, that's more than ten dollars a day.
Over the course of a month, it adds up to several hundred yuan.
He looked up at Teacher Zhou, feeling a warm glow in his heart.
"Thank you, Teacher Zhou."
,
Teacher Zhou smiled and said, "No need to thank me. You did a good job, so I can recommend you. Tomorrow afternoon, I'll take you to see Section Chief Sun."
The next afternoon, Qian Cheng changed into clean clothes and went to the Municipal Education Bureau with Teacher Zhou.
The Education Bureau is located in the city center, in a gray three-story building. Teacher Zhou led him inside and found the Purchasing Department.
Section Chief Sun was in his forties, wore glasses, and looked quite amiable. Upon seeing Teacher Zhou, he quickly stood up.
"Teacher Zhou, you've arrived."
Teacher Zhou introduced him to Qian Cheng.
Section Chief Sun looked Qian Cheng up and down and nodded.
"I heard from Teacher Zhou that you're doing a side job at the teachers' college, delivering vegetables to the family quarters?"
Qian Cheng nodded: "Yes, it's been half a year."
Section Chief Sun asked, "Can you guarantee the supply?"
Qian Cheng said, "Yes, we can. Our production team has about a hundred households, some grow vegetables and some raise chickens. Once we place an order, we can deliver every day without any problem."
Section Chief Sun then asked, "And the price?"
Qian Cheng said, "It's 10% cheaper than the market price. Whatever the vegetable market price is, I'll offer it 10% lower. I guarantee freshness and quantity."
Section Chief Sun thought for a moment and said, "How about this, you send it for a month to try it out. After a month, we'll see the results. If the results are good, then we'll sign a contract."
Qian Cheng said, "Okay, Section Chief Sun, I'll do as you say."
As they left the Education Bureau, Teacher Zhou patted him on the shoulder.
"Xiao Qian, do a good job."
Qian Cheng nodded: "Teacher Zhou, don't worry."
Upon returning to school, Qian Cheng immediately wrote a letter to Qian Lu.
"Brother, a big deal has struck. The Municipal Education Bureau needs vegetables from dozens of primary and secondary schools throughout the city. Go back and tell Captain Li to organize the villagers to grow vegetables and raise chickens, the more the better. The price is 10% lower than the market price, but the quantity is large, so you'll make a lot of money. Get back to him right away."
The letter was sent, and Qian Cheng began to wait.
A few days later, Qian Lu replied.
"Chengzi, I received the letter. I told Captain Li, and he was very happy. He said he wants to hold a meeting of all the villagers to encourage everyone to grow more vegetables and raise more chickens. Don't worry, the village will fully support you. I'll send over a batch of vegetables next week; you can decide what to do."
After reading the letter, Qian Cheng felt relieved.
Over the next few days, he was busy preparing. He found warehouses, transportation, and manpower. Liu Jianguo and Wang Dali were both willing to work with him, and he also asked a few classmates for help.
A week later, Qian Lu arrived with two large truckloads of vegetables.
One truck was loaded with spinach, chives, and scallions, and the other with eggs. They were all packed full, the produce the villagers had been saving up for days.
Qian Cheng and his team unloaded the vegetables into the rented warehouse. Then, as required by the Education Bureau, they repackaged them for delivery the next day.
The next morning, he took Liu Jianguo and Wang Dali and rode a tricycle to deliver supplies to various primary and secondary schools.
The first place was the No. 1 Middle School in the city, located in the east. The security guard asked them questions and let them in. The cafeteria manager came out to inspect the food, weighed it, signed off on it, and collected the food.
The second is the No. 2 Middle School, located in the west of the city. The third is the Experimental Primary School, located in the south of the city. The fourth is the Affiliated Primary School of the Normal University, located in the north of the city.
After a day of running around, I delivered vegetables to more than a dozen schools.
When Qian Cheng got back that evening, he did the math. He had delivered over 500 jin of vegetables and over 200 eggs that day, earning a total of over 80 yuan.
After deducting the costs paid to the village, I made a profit of over ten yuan.
He felt confident.
The next day, they continued delivering.
On the third and fourth days, deliveries were made every day.
Over the course of a week, I visited more than 30 primary and secondary schools throughout the city.
At the end of the month, after tallying up the accounts, we found that we had delivered over 10,000 jin of vegetables and over 3,000 eggs, earning over 2,000 yuan. After deducting costs, we made a profit of over 400 yuan.
Qian Cheng looked at the account book, feeling a warm glow in his heart.
He divided the money, sent two hundred yuan back to the village, paid Liu Jianguo and the others their wages, and saved the rest for himself.
That evening, he went to see Teacher Zhou and told him about it.
After listening, Teacher Zhou smiled.
"Little Qian, what did I tell you? You can do it."
Qian Cheng said, "Teacher Zhou, thank you so much."
Teacher Zhou waved his hand: "It's because you're capable."
""
After leaving Teacher Zhou's house, Qian Cheng went to wait for Zhang Mingxi downstairs at the girls' dormitory.
Zhang Mingxi came downstairs, saw him, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Qian Cheng said, "It's nothing, I just missed you."
""
Zhang Mingxi blushed and lowered her head.
The two walked on campus, the moon shining and the wind blowing.
Zhang Mingxi suddenly asked, "Qian Cheng, what are your plans for the future?"
Qian Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Let's focus on making the business successful and saving some money. After graduation, I'll stay in the city and marry you."
Zhang Mingxi's face turned even redder. She didn't say anything, but the corners of her mouth were turned up.
She stopped downstairs at the girls' dormitory.
"Money Prospects".
"Um?
""
"I'm waiting for you.
""
After saying that, he turned and ran inside.
Qian Cheng stood there, watching her back, his heart filled with emotion.
As the days went by, Qian Cheng's business became increasingly successful.
The city's education bureau's supply has stabilized. The city's more than thirty primary and secondary schools receive at least five or six hundred kilograms of vegetables and about two hundred eggs a day. Qian Cheng calculated that with a monthly turnover of over two thousand yuan, he could earn about four hundred yuan himself.
Including the school cafeteria and the staff quarters, I can earn more than 500 yuan a month.
He held the account book, looking at it again and again, feeling a warm glow in his heart.
Five hundred dollars was a lot of money in 1979.
He wrote a letter to the village, asking Qian Lu to organize more people to grow more vegetables and raise more chickens. The letter specified in detail: spinach, chives, scallions, etc.
We need rapeseed, bok choy, everything. The eggs have to be fresh, no rotten ones. The price is still 10% lower than the market price, but the quantity is large, so the villagers earn no less than before.
Qian Lu replied that Team Leader Li had held a meeting of the commune members, and everyone was willing to work. The village has now allocated dozens of acres specifically for vegetable cultivation, and every household is raising more chickens. He assured him that vegetable and egg production would only increase in the future.
Qian Cheng felt relieved after reading the letter.
He went to the Municipal Education Bureau again to see Section Chief Sun.
Section Chief Sun was in his office when he saw him come in and greeted him with a smile, "Little Qian, you're here? Have a seat."
Qian Cheng sat down and handed him the account book.
Section Chief Sun flipped through it and nodded.
"Well done. The feedback from all the schools is very positive; they say your dishes are fresh, the portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable."
Qian Cheng said, "Section Chief Sun, I was thinking, could we expand the supply a bit more?"
""
Section Chief Sun looked at him and asked, "How do we expand it?"
Qian Cheng said, "The city not only has primary and secondary schools, but also kindergartens, technical schools, and vocational schools. These institutions also need vegetables. If we can secure all of them, the volume can double."
Section Chief Sun thought for a moment and said, "Kindergartens are under the jurisdiction of the Education Bureau, so we can give it a try. Technical schools and vocational schools are under the jurisdiction of the Labor Bureau, so we'll have to contact them separately."
Qian Cheng said, "Section Chief Sun, could you introduce me to someone? I'll handle it myself."

Section Chief Sun laughed: "You're a really energetic guy."
