Chapter 144 Retail Investors
"I don't know if Guicheng's sister-in-law is free, but she also asked me to invite them over. The three of us will eat roasted mutton together. It will be lively."
Jiang Anning's heart moved and the words came out.
Aunt Fang was surprised: "Usually at this time, Sui Ran and his wife would be back around the same time, but today we haven't seen anyone yet."
"I'll go over to Guicheng's sister-in-law's house later."
After Jiang Anning finished speaking, Aunt Fang said: "Goodbye, I'd better go! This will save those old beasts in the village from doubting what benefits you have given Sui Ran!"
"What did you say?"
Jiang Anning was greatly surprised: "What benefit can I give to Sister-in-law Guicheng?"
"Isn't that what you said?"
When Aunt Fang mentioned the people in the village, she no longer had the same warmth as before, but more with scorn and disdain: "After all, I just saw Sui Ran and his wife making money, and she was jealous and jealous. , and it became sour to speak.”
"They all think that Sui Ran and his wife suddenly have money to do small business because they lowered their stature to please you and gained your appreciation and free money."
Jiang Anning was extremely surprised: "How could they think so?"
No wonder when Patriarch Jiang saw her coming back, he asked her to use money to subsidize the village and everyone else, as if he regarded her money as the common property of the villagers and could use it at will.
It turns out that there is another reason.
"It's just shameless, it's just shameless!"
Aunt Fang looked down upon those people in the village: "It makes me feel uncomfortable when I see others living a good life, and I try my best to slander them."
"Didn't Sister-in-law Guicheng explain it to them?"
Jiang Anning: "They were able to get the money because they took the deeds of their houses and came to me for mortgage. Strictly speaking, I am just a loanee."
"Why didn't you say anything?"
Aunt Fang had an unlucky look on her face and was very reluctant to mention the faces of those people: "But what's the use of talking about it? When you meet those people who pretend to be confused, even if you tell the facts and present evidence, they won't say anything. If you don’t believe it, you won’t listen to a word.”
"You just have to pretend to be confused while still pretending to understand, and tell lies with your eyes open, saying that Sui Ran got a benefit from you."
She sneered: "Actually, who doesn't know what you have in mind?"
"Isn't it just that I want to use this matter as a talking point? I will come to you someday and ask you to spend money to support them..."
Aunt Fang sighed, feeling very sorry for Jiang Anning: "You really shouldn't have agreed to help them pay just now!"
"Just wait and see, just wait and see, when these people go home, maybe something will happen again!"
"As long as you give them a chance and don't refuse their unreasonable demands, they will just think you are easy to bully!"
"I don't miss you at all."
Aunt Fang sighed: "If you give me a favor this time, if you don't give it next time, they will think you are not honest again."
She looked at Jiang Anning worriedly, hesitating and hesitating to speak.
"Peace..."
Aunt Fang pursed her lips and clenched her hands into fists nervously. She was struggling and tangled in her heart. After a while, she finally summoned up the courage to say: "Listen to Auntie's advice. If you have the ability and settle down outside, don't come back again." ”
"Stay as far away from here as possible!"
Without the Zhao family, there are still so many evil-hearted families.
Those people...
Aunt Fang thought about what she heard from Jiang Xiu'e, and then recalled some things in the past, and she felt really sad.
Those people will not let An Ning go.
"If you are obedient and can leave, then leave as soon as possible!"
Jiang Anning always felt that there was something in Aunt Fang's words.
When she wanted to ask more questions, Aunt Fang clapped her hand with a sad look on her face and stopped mentioning the topic just now. She just said, "I'll go to Sui Ran's house and take care of yourself."
"Aunt..."
Jiang Anning called out to someone and wanted to ask again, but Aunt Fang left without hesitation, without even looking back. She waved her hand, obviously not wanting anyone to ask further questions.
She wanted to ask a few questions about Jiang Genshan, but there was no chance.
After Aunt Fang left, the huge room suddenly felt a little more lonely.
Jiang Anning thought for a while and went to the Zhao family next door.
The two sericulture farmers invited by Jiang Wei were a little nervous when they saw Jiang Anning coming over.
"Both of them were born in Huzhou, and their families have made a living by raising silkworms and reeling silk for generations. I have great faith in their abilities."
As soon as Jiang Anning saw the person, she went straight to the point and told the purpose of her visit without being cryptic: "I wonder if you two are willing to cooperate with me and teach each other all the skills you have learned from your family."
< br>
Sang Nanshan turned his head and glanced at his brother Sang Donghai next to him.
"How do you want to cooperate?"
Sang Donghai placed his scrutinizing eyes on Jiang Anning's face, making no secret of his probing intentions.
Jiang Anning smiled slightly: "I need two people to help raise the most cocoons in the fastest time."
"This..."
The two looked at each other, and finally Sang Donghai said: "Girl, to be honest, the price of these cocoons is really not high, and there is not much profit. Basically, it is just a hard-earned money to barely support the family. Without you, Make as much money as you imagine.”
Sang Donghai also had some interactions with villagers during this period.
The biggest feeling he had after contacting the villagers was: whimsical!
These people are so whimsical!
Just like making money is a pie-in-the-sky thing, you just need to think about it and just talk, and you can get it done.
It's as if they don't understand what it means to value something rare.
Even if a large number of silkworm cocoons can really be grown, wouldn't the person who collects the silkworm cocoons take the opportunity to lower the price?
Not to mention, reeling silk is a time-consuming and labor-intensive task, and it is not as simple as they imagined.
"Even if we, two brothers, can help you raise silkworm cocoons, how will you manage to get rid of so many cocoons?"
"If you hire someone to do it, the labor and cost will be another big expense."
"What's more, you are still new to this business, and you don't even have a fixed sales outlet. Ordinary bosses have their own regular place to collect silkworm cocoons, and they have cooperated for many years. They will not collect retail investors easily, especially They are new retail investors. Even if they are accepted, most of them will give extremely low prices. They will push them as low as they can. Maybe in the end, you will not only make no money with all your busy work, but also The cost will be passed on.”
Sang Donghai felt that it was necessary for him to explain these things clearly to Jiang Anning.
Even if it is possible that Jiang Anning will not use the two brothers anymore.
They come all the way, and nine times out of ten they will return without success.
But if they don't say it out loud and earn this money without conscience, they will feel uneasy!
If at the beginning, they were angry because Jiang Wei suddenly disappeared and disappeared, they wanted the people in the village to give an explanation and pay him the wages as agreed with Jiang Wei.
After a period of observation, they no longer think so.
They have no doubt that what these people said, paying one hundred taels first, and then paying another one hundred taels after completing the course, is just a delaying strategy, and it may even be a routine!
If sericulture is really so profitable, these people can easily make back their original two hundred taels, so why would the two brothers come out to beg for this food?
Haven’t you raised silkworms for half your life and never seen what two hundred taels look like?
Two hundred taels is enough for the two brothers to earn two lifetimes of hard work! It is even possible that you will never make so much money in two lifetimes!
Therefore, there is a high probability that these people will use the excuse that they cannot make any money to intercept them and get their money back again.
More likely, it is not enough to just get the money back, but also to ask for interest from them.
It is true that the people in this village have too heretical ideas.
The two brothers really couldn't believe the character of the people in this village.
Just a few days of getting along were enough for them to feel deeply panicked about the behavior of the people here.
They just want to get out of here quickly.
It's really scary for them every day they stay here.
But they didn't dare to reveal their desire to escape.
I'm afraid that once the people here notice, they will immediately counterattack, imprison them, and force them to help them make money. If they can't make money, they will be beaten, kicked, and deprived of food...
It is no exaggeration to say that the two brothers Sang Donghai and Sang Nanshan dare not close their eyes together every day when they sleep.
They were afraid that while they were sleeping, a group of barbarians would suddenly break in, cut their throats or tie them up, and imprison them in a dark place.
So terrible...
The reason why he confided the truth to Jiang Anning was because of other considerations.
Before coming, the man named Jiang had said that he would help them introduce Aunt Jingwan's daughter.
Unexpectedly, the man named Jiang turned out to be a liar!
Not long after they arrived here, the man suddenly disappeared and disappeared.
However, after a period of insidious inquiries, they were able to determine something about it.
Aunt Jingwan's daughter is probably really here.
Moreover, it is very likely that she is the woman in front of her.
In addition, even if the woman in front of them is not Aunt Jingwan's daughter, just looking at how the people in the village treated her like a blood bag and took whatever she asked for, they can't help but make some bold guesses that this woman is very likely to be related to her. Those people in the village are not on the same side.
At least I won't be so brainless, thinking that if I can successfully raise silkworms and make cocoons, I can make a lot of money.
He should be able to listen to some persuasion.
Of course, if this woman doesn't listen, even if she is Aunt Jingwan's daughter, they will never recognize her.
Sang Donghai looked at Jiang Anning, waiting for the other party to make a choice.
If you are someone who can't listen to advice, then it's useless to talk too much. It's better to think about how to escape safely.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Anning just laughed and said nonchalantly: "I didn't expect to make any money from this cocoon."
From the beginning, she did not expect to really make money from raising silkworms and reeling silk.
The whole body is covered with silk robes, but there is no silkworm breeder.
It is already very difficult to support a family, but to make a lot of money?
If it were so easy to make a lot of money, wouldn't everyone in this world be rich?
If the people in the village were conscientious and down-to-earth, like the Sui Ran couple, who worked hard and down-to-earth, they might not be able to make money.
The land in the village is not suitable for growing crops.
The harvest throughout the year is just enough for the whole family to make ends meet.
But if taxes are removed, what is left will become a problem.
If you take advantage of the terrain and raise silkworms to increase your income, no matter how much money you make, at least it will be enough to feed the whole family.
Maybe even eat better.
At least we can add some meat to the New Year's Eve dinner.
It would not be like now, where every household has to tighten their belts to get by.
Usually, if you want to eat something fishy, you can only dip it in a little bit of meat oil to taste it.
I don’t even dare to hope to buy meat or eggs.
Only a few families in the village can afford meat and eggs.
But if you spend all day long thinking about pie-in-the-sky pie, wanting to easily earn a hundred taels, a thousand taels, or ten thousand taels a month, putting all your hopes on raising silkworms and leaving the fields uncultivated, I am afraid that life will become even worse. difficult.
By then...
Even if they were hungry and wanted to flee, they could only be blamed for seeking their own death.
When Jiang Anning was planning this matter, she also thought that if the people in the village stayed on their own terms, she might not be able to let go and let go of the grudges from her previous life.
But she will never live in the village again.
From now on, everyone will keep in touch with each other, and will never interact with each other until death. Naturally, they will be out of sight and out of mind.
But now it seems that the people in the village have never thought of keeping their feet on the ground as she expected.
Then what awaits them is naturally only the endless abyss.
I just hope that when that day comes, they can wake up.
Jiang Anning smiled, feeling that her idea was a bit too naive.
How can someone wake up after taking advantage for a long time?
I feel that everyone wants to harm them, and it’s almost as if I can’t see them being well.
"I never thought about making money raising silkworms."
Jiang Anning retracted her thoughts, calmed down, and said again: "I just need you two to help me produce enough cocoons."
"As for how to deal with these cocoons, you two don't have to worry. In short, I will not lose the benefits promised to you."
She smiled: "Of course, I also need you two to keep your mouth shut while doing things. Just like what you said just now, you don't have to tell anyone anymore."
"Especially the people in the village."
Sang Donghai felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet for no apparent reason.
What exactly does this woman want to do?
"You two don't have to worry about what I want to do. It's not about murder or arson."
The most it can do is destroy people's lives.
But...
All roads are chosen by those people themselves. Even if their families are really ruined in the future, what does it have to do with her?
She can only clap her hands and say "so good" with a smile.
Sang Donghai was shocked and a little flustered because he had accidentally spoken out what was on his mind just now.
At this moment, looking at Jiang Anning, she felt even more flustered.
The woman in front of him was obviously smiling, a very kind smile, but he felt that she was looking at her like a poisonous snake, and chills ran down his back.
