Era: Started from raising livestock in the mountains

Taking Murakami's certificate, Lin Heng went to the town to go through some procedures.

After finishing the work, it was almost noon. After lunch, Lin Heng asked someone to rent a motorcycle and took him to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau in the city.

In fact, Lin Heng can ride a motorcycle, but people will definitely not trust him to hand over the motorcycle.

When we arrived in the city at around two o'clock in the afternoon, the motorcycle was much faster than the tractor.

After filling out a bunch of information and working around it, it was finally done. In the end, I still had to wait a month to get it.

However, during this period, he can open the purchasing station first and wait until the certificate is issued before signing the contract. Lin Heng has already obtained the quotation list for various medicinal materials and furs for opening the purchasing station.

"Go back now or not?" the motorcycle driver asked.

"Take me to the north of the city and I'll show you the way." Lin Heng said as he got on the motorcycle.

All the way to the north of the city, Lin Heng asked for directions and found a cattle dealer's house.

"Buying a cow or selling a cow?" A man in his twenties with a hooked nose walked out, followed by a mute woman.

“Cow buyer, can you get a cow?”

Lin Heng looked at this young guy and asked.

This young man’s name is Liu Shigen, whom he knew in his previous life. Although he is just a calf trader now, his wife is mute.

But his business grew bigger and bigger, and by the early 2000s he was worth tens of millions, and he didn't abandon this mute woman at that time, which was very admirable.

"If you can't get cows, you don't have to ask others. No one in our area raises cows." Liu Shigen shook his head.

"No."

Lin Heng was a little disappointed, but he had expected it.

There is no grassland here, and few people raise cattle. It is normal that there are no dairy cows. It's just that he won't give up without asking about the situation.

"What about the horses? Are there any tamed horses here that can be ridden?" Lin Heng asked again.

"Brother, I have such big words written as "Cattle Trader", why are you asking about irrelevant things. Apart from buying and selling cattle, I can't do anything else." Liu Shigen spread his hands and said.

"Haha, I think you have great powers and you can expand your business if you have the opportunity." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"I have no money and no capital." Liu Shigen said, spreading his hands.

Lin Heng chatted with him for a few words, got to know each other's names, and then left.

Then he went looking to see if anyone sold modern compound bows, and he wanted to get one.

But the fact is that he thought too much. There is no such thing in Taibai City.

He couldn't find a modern compound bow, and Lin Heng didn't buy a Mongolian bow. He thought the one he had at home was enough.

"Let's go back," Lin Heng shook his head and said.

After riding a motorcycle for two hours, we drove back to Huangtan Town.

The motorcycle was fast. It was only five o'clock at this time, and the students had just finished school.

Lin Heng thought for a while and went to school to find his sister Caiyun, and he would go home with her soon.

When he arrived at school, Lin Heng found that Caiyun was wearing the same set of clothes he bought yesterday. She was as dazzling as a white swan among a group of girls. The little boys in the school were peeping at her in a roundabout way.

Caiyun didn't seem to notice this. She was walking out with Liu Ciwen and two or three other classmates, talking and laughing.

"Caiyun!" Lin Heng called and waved to her.

"Second brother!" Caiyun saw Lin Heng and trotted to his side.

"Second brother, have you finished your work?" Caiyun looked at Lin Heng and asked with a smile.

"It's done. You seem to be very happy today." Lin Heng touched her head and said.

"Yes, second brother, because I ran for class president." Caiyun chuckled.

"So powerful." Lin Heng was a little surprised. But it's not surprising. If it were a show of hands, all the male students would probably choose her.

"It's all the books you borrowed from me, second brother, that made me speak knowledgeable. My head teacher likes me very much." Caiyun said happily.

"This is your own fault and has nothing to do with me. I came to see you today for something. Let's talk while walking." Lin Heng glanced at her and walked forward.

"What's the matter, second brother?" Caiyun asked as he walked.

"I'm planning to open a purchasing station in my town. I'll hire someone to look after it. You can check the accounts for me every two or three days."

After Lin Heng finished speaking, he looked back at his sister. She looked a little cold in her outfit, with an indigo blue cloth bag slung across her body.

"Of course that's no problem, just leave it to me."

Caiyun agreed without thinking. Compared with her second brother's kindness to her, this matter was too small.

Lin Heng nodded: "That's good. I'll take you to get to know that person later. Then you can also come to the acquisition station for lunch at noon."

"Where are we going now?" Caiyun asked, looking at the increasingly remote road.

"Here we are, let me get the kitchen knives and daggers we customized before." Lin Heng said and walked into the blacksmith shop with Caiyun.

"I'm here to get the kitchen knife and dagger, are you ready?" Lin Heng asked loudly.

"Okay, okay." The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment and responded quickly.

He and his two sons who were blacksmithing were stunned when they saw Caiyun.

"It has been prepared a long time ago and is waiting for you to pick it up." The middle-aged uncle said with a smile.

He walked into the house and took out the forged kitchen knife and dagger and put them on the table for Lin Heng to check.

It is easy to see that the steel is made by Baidu, because it is formed by repeatedly folding and forging a piece of steel. The texture of the mille-feuille cake can be clearly seen on the finished iron.

Lin Heng first picked up the kitchen knife and looked at it. The rectangular blade and the handle were made of a whole piece of rosewood. The overall shape was also rectangular, but the edges and corners were trimmed, and the grip felt good.

Although the layers of lines on the blade forged with hundred-refined steel were not as obvious as the acid-soaked Damascus pattern, they were also very beautiful.

Lin Heng picked up a branch as thick as his little finger from the side and cut it off with a light cut, without any effort.

The middle-aged uncle next to him smiled and said, "We folded and forged this hundred-refined steel and weighed it once until the weight stopped changing. There is no doubt that it is sharp."

"It's really good." Lin Heng nodded and picked up the dagger again.

This dagger is more than 30 centimeters long and has a wooden scabbard wrapped in yellow cowhide.

There is a brass guard installed on the handle. The handle is made of a dark red jujube wood with a copper wire inlaid on it.

Although the exquisiteness is still a little behind the top daggers that Lin Heng saw in the knife forging competition, it has far exceeded his expectations.

He pulled it out and swung it in the air, and it felt extremely comfortable.

"The blade and handle ratio of this dagger is three to one. It took a lot of effort to add this guard and inlay copper wire." The middle-aged uncle said with a smile.

He strives for perfection in forging knives, and Lin Heng will definitely not let him down with so much money.

"It's indeed possible." Lin Heng nodded with satisfaction. No man can refuse a handsome dagger.

"As long as you are satisfied." The middle-aged uncle said with a smile.

Lin Heng took out eight yuan from his pocket and gave them to them, plus the previous deposit, a total of nine yuan.

The uncle was so happy after receiving the money that he couldn't close his mouth. It's rare to see such a tyrannical customer like Lin Heng these days.

Ordinary people think it's expensive to make a kitchen knife for one yuan.

"Find me a bag to put the knife in." Lin Heng nodded and stood up.

"Okay." The uncle first found a piece of cloth to hold the kitchen knife, then put it in a paper bag and handed it to Lin Heng.

Lin Heng took Caiyun out, and the uncle sent them to the gate before going back.

"It's so expensive, second brother." After coming out, Caiyun complained that the two knives were almost the same as her tuition.

"It's okay, it's not easy to forge steel, it's all hard-earned money."

Lin Heng shook his head and said, "If my parents know, they will scold you again." Caiyun shook her head.

"It's okay if you don't say anything." Lin Heng smiled and replied, and then said, "Let's go see what Wang Zhou thinks."

He took his sister Lin Heng and went straight to Wang Zhou's residence. When he came over, Wang Zhou and the driver uncle had just got off work and met in front of the house.

"Lin Heng!!" Wang Zhou saw Lin Heng and hurriedly greeted him. His eyes stayed on Caiyun for a second and then quickly moved away, and he didn't even see the details of Caiyun's face.

"Boss Lin." The driver uncle next to him also said with a smile.

"Let me introduce you. This is my sister Lin Caiyun, who is still in school." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"Hello." Caiyun greeted politely.

"You are such a beautiful girl." The driver said with a smile.

Wang Zhou next to him lowered his head and hummed. He didn't dare to look at her. Caiyun was much more dazzling than the girls he had seen before.

Lin Heng glanced at Wang Zhou. He was not surprised by his appearance, nor was he worried about what he thought of Caiyun.

He was too inferior. He probably denied himself in his heart at this moment. Let alone contact, he felt embarrassed to even look at him. Even if he liked him, he would never dare to show it.

If it was those gangsters, Lin Heng would have been very careful and would not introduce his sister to them. Those bastards were the most courageous and the most deceiving.

After all, he used to hang out with such people, and he knew it very well.

The driver next to him glanced at Wang Zhou, sighed and opened the door. This kid is so useless. No wonder he can't find a wife.

"Wang Zhou, what have you considered?" Lin Heng asked him after entering the house.

Wang Zhou nodded and said, "Brother Lin, I have already agreed with the boss, and I can come to work here anytime."

It's funny to say that he thought he was very important and the boss was optimistic about him. As a result, when he told the boss about this matter, the boss paid him a salary and drove him away without saying a word.

"That's good, you pack your things, and I will help you move to the house I rented." Lin Heng nodded.

"Okay, I'll pack it now." Wang Zhou agreed and turned to pack his things.

He had very few things, and the four people helped to move them away easily.

It took more than ten minutes to reach Grandpa Gao. Lin Heng thought that Grandpa had gone fishing, but he didn't expect that he was at home today.

"Grandpa Gao, this is the Wang Zhou I told you about. He will look after my shop here in the future."

Lin Heng looked at Grandpa Gao and said with a smile.

"Hello, Grandpa Gao." Wang Zhou greeted him quickly.

"Hello, Grandpa Gao." Caiyun also greeted him.

"Haha, OK, except for the two rooms of the old man and me, you can live in any other room you like." Grandpa Gao said with a smile.

"Okay." Lin Heng took Wang Zhou inside and found a room to live in. The room was very big, with seven or eight empty rooms, and there was also one on the second floor.

After arranging a place for Wang Zhou to live, the driver uncle was about to say goodbye and leave. Lin Heng looked at him and said, "Uncle, ask me who has horses to sell, I want to buy one."

"Okay, I'll go back and ask for you." The uncle nodded.

Wang Zhou sent him a long way before returning.

Lin Heng talked about the plan with Grandpa Gao and explained the situation.

When he drove the tractor into the city before, he had already bought some supplies such as a scale and an iron cabinet for money.

Wait for the cleaning up tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and we can open the day after tomorrow.

The day after tomorrow is September 7th in the solar calendar and July 23rd in the lunar calendar. It is a very auspicious day and a market day, which is perfect for opening.

"Just do it. The place is rented to you. You can do whatever you want." Grandpa Gao said nonchalantly.

"Brother Lin, I am only responsible for collecting things according to the price, right?" Wang Zhou asked about his job.

Lin Heng nodded, looked at him and said: "It's about the same. Collect things according to the price I give you, keep a record of each item collected, and summarize it once a week.

And sell things, keep a record of the selling price, and summarize it once a week. Caiyun will come to check regularly and help summarize."

Wang Zhou was stunned: "You still need to sell things? What do you sell?"

"Of course it's department stores, all kinds of things." Lin Heng said with a smile.

After a pause, Lin Heng continued, "You can't make much money just by collecting things, not to mention that you have to compete with Liu Qicheng.

I plan to set up a department store and do bundled sales. The price of buying medicinal materials from me is higher than 60% or 70%. If you buy things from me again, you can also enjoy certain discounts.

Even if my profit is low, as long as it is bundled, it can not only increase customer flow, but also quickly recover funds. Liu Qicheng is just a simple collector, what can he use to fight me?"

If he doesn't make a move, it's fine. Once he makes a move, he will definitely kill Liu Qicheng.

He has a good location, in front of Liu Qicheng's house, which is a geographical advantage.

Liu Qicheng doesn't allow bargaining when collecting things, and often speaks ill of him, which has long made many people hate him. When Lin Heng opens a new store, many people come even if the price is the same.

So he also has people.

Add to that the bundled sales, what can Liu Qicheng use to fight against himself?

"Xiao Lin, this is a brilliant move, you are really a good businessman." Uncle Gao couldn't help but applaud Lin Heng after hearing this.

This is really a little sow wearing that thing, one set after another.

"Awesome!" Wang Zhou gave a thumbs up. No wonder Lin Heng can make a fortune. He can't learn this skill.

Caiyun also admired.

"This is nothing." Lin Heng smiled. The rural sales methods are still too backward. He can easily win a large number of people.

No need to think about it. He can play different games every day by copying the sales routines of later generations.

"Then it's settled. You will stay here in the future. I have bought rice and flour for you. You can do it yourself." Lin Heng said after the negotiation.

"Okay, Brother Lin, don't worry." Wang Zhou nodded.

Lin Heng looked at his watch, took his ID card, and turned away.

After returning, Lin Heng told his parents about this matter and asked Lin's father and eldest brother to go to help tomorrow.

The next morning, the family used a cow-drawn cart to take Xiulan Xiaoxia, Lin's father and eldest brother, Caiyun, and Xiongba to the town together.

"Lin Heng, we just need to build a shelf for you, right?" Lin's father asked. Lin Heng's business was a bit big this time, and he was a little nervous for a while.

"Yes, you and your elder brother go to the carpenter's house in the town to buy some wooden boards and make some cabinets. They don't have to look good, as long as they can hold things." Lin Heng nodded.

"Okay." Lin's father nodded.

"Brother, are you confident about doing such a big thing this time?" Lin Yue was a little worried.

"Of course, it's not difficult." Lin Heng said with a smile.

Lin's elder brother came down to help, and as for Xiulan and Xiaoxia, Lin Heng just asked them to come to the town to play.

When they arrived in Huangtan Town, Caiyun went to school, and Lin Heng brought others to Grandpa Gao's house.

When they came over, Grandpa Gao was carrying a bucket and preparing to go fishing in the river.

"Grandpa Gao, I brought you a fishing rod I made myself, with a seven-star float on it. You can try it today."

Lin Heng smiled and handed the purple bamboo fishing rod he took from home to Grandpa Gao, and told him how to use the seven-star float. The seven-star float on this line was made by him with colored plastic.

"This fishing rod is good and beautiful." Grandpa Gao touched it in his hand and couldn't let it go.

This is an old purple bamboo that is more than ten years old. With Lin Heng's modulation, the feel is much better than ordinary bamboo poles.

"How much is it? I'll buy it. I can't just take it directly." Grandpa Gao shook his head and said.

"Don't be polite, it's just a bamboo, it's not worth much. I wasn't polite when you gave me fish before." Lin Heng shook his head.

"Haha, okay, I'll accept it with a thick face." Grandpa Gao said with a smile and accepted it.

Then Lin Heng introduced him to his father, elder brother, Xiulan and others.

After getting to know each other, Grandpa Gao went fishing, and Lin Heng brought Lin's father and others to the store.

"Brother Lin!"

When Lin Heng came, Wang Zhou was cleaning.

After introducing Wang Zhou to his father and elder brother, Lin Heng began to arrange today's tasks.

After the arrangement, Lin Heng took thirty yuan from Lin's father and asked him to go to the town to buy wooden boards.

He rented the motorcycle yesterday and asked someone to take him to the city.

He didn't know anyone who was doing wholesale business in Taibai City, but he knew the general situation. After talking for a whole morning, he finally reached an agreement with a family named Li.

Then Lin Heng wholesaled various things that could be sold in the countryside for 600 yuan at one time.

If they were bought separately, these things would cost 780 yuan.

The difference between wholesale price and retail price is generally between 20% and 50%, and the difference is different for different things.

The things are lighter and easier to load on the car, so the wholesale market uses a truck to pull it up for him.

At around 4 pm, the truck arrived at Huangtan Town.

Before, people around Mr. Gao didn't know what Lin Heng was going to do. Now that the truck came, a group of people understood that he was going to open a store, and they all ran over to watch the fun.

"Dad!" Seeing Lin Heng, Xiaoxia trotted over and hugged his legs to act coquettishly.

Lin Heng hugged her and turned around, gave her a candy and handed it to Xiulan.

"Come and help move things, everything in the truck is ours." Lin Heng looked at his father and others and said.

"Okay!" Lin's father and three others came to help move things.

Lin Heng walked into the house and saw that there were still some shelves that had not been finished, but they should be done tomorrow.

A room of 30 square meters was filled with various things worth 600 yuan. These things can be sold for at least two or three months.

"Are you opening a small store?"

When Lin Heng came out, Liu Qicheng and a group of people gathered at the door and asked.

Lin Heng glanced at Liu Qicheng and smiled and said, "Yes, I sell things."

Hearing this, Liu Qicheng breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that this kid also wanted to collect medicinal materials and furs, so this position would be great.

But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that his worries were unnecessary. Opening a purchasing station requires connections, and where would a young boy like Lin Heng get those connections?

He couldn't help but laugh. There are many shops in the town now. It's not easy for Lin Heng to open a shop and make money.

He thought to himself: "Even if he became a nouveau riche by selling mulberry fungus, he still has no brains. If a small shop could really make money, I would have opened it a long time ago."

Shaking his head, he walked home briskly, thinking about playing cards to celebrate today.

This Lin Heng is still a young boy, not to worry about.
