Chapter 156: Merchants and Entrepreneurs

After Li Yi and Da Chu finished their noodles, they walked out of the noodle shop. Reading

The noodles in this noodle shop are really cheap, a full dollar cheaper than the noodle shops in Jiangcheng.

However, Li Yi still likes this noodle shop. In his previous life, he had eaten a bowl of noodles in Caiji Noodle Shop thirty years later. Although it was a long time ago, the taste made him remember it in his heart.

It was really fate that I was lucky enough to see this noodle shop again thirty years ago.

Li Yi originally wanted to sponsor this noodle shop, but after thinking about it, he gave up the idea.

The reason is very simple, because this noodle shop can finally rely on its own strength to become the most famous noodle shop in the entire Jiangnan Province, it must have its own unique way of operation.

If I intervene rashly, it may change the original development process of things, and maybe this noodle shop will no longer exist.

For the sake of caution, after eating noodles, Li Yi took Da Chu away.

As soon as he sat in the car, Li Yi took out his jade Buddha necklace and handed it to Da Chu.

Da Chu was stunned for a moment, obviously not understanding what Li Yi meant.

Li Yi smiled and said, "I know you want this necklace. Anyway, it's useless to me, so I'll just treat it as a benefit for you in advance."

Da Chu was stunned for a moment, then he reached out to take the necklace, feeling a little reluctant to let it go.

Then, Da Chu scratched his head and said, "Brother Yi, then I won't be polite, I have liked this jade Buddha necklace for a long time!"

Li Yi smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I can see it, hahaha!"

"Brother Yi, where are we going now?"

"Let's go to Yujia Village and see if we can persuade those villagers to follow us in raising pigs."

Da Chu nodded, then frowned and whispered, "Brother Yi, are you going to find these villagers and let them raise pigs as individual households again?"

"What's wrong?"

"Why do we need to find them? Didn't we want to find a breeding farm before? Isn't the scale of the breeding farm much larger than that of individual households? "

Li Yi smiled and replied: "Look at the residents of Mushan Town, they have hardly seen a car! The poverty of this place is beyond our imagination!"

"It is very poor. Although our Jiangcheng is not a developed city, it is a provincial capital after all, and at least there are cars! But the conditions here are indeed a bit unexpected. I just took a look at that street. There are no supermarkets, banks, clothing stores, etc. There are only some small shops. Compared with Jiangcheng, it is really far behind!"

"Yes, although this place is also under the jurisdiction of Jiangcheng, it is completely different from the urban area!" Li Yi said with emotion.

Da Chu nodded, controlled the steering wheel, slowly left Mushan Town, and then asked with doubt: "Brother Yi, this place is poor, but what does it have to do with us?"

Li Yi nodded, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, then sighed and said: "Da Chu, our brothers are working hard to make money, but you have to remember that the money we earn must be conscience money!"

"Of course, we don't make money against our conscience, but what does it have to do with us!"

Li Yi said: "If we find a breeding farm, we can certainly achieve our goal, but it only makes one family rich! But if we go to villages like Yujia Village and find villagers to cooperate, we can make more people rich. This is called common prosperity!"

Common prosperity?

Da Chu frowned. Why have you never heard of this word?

"Brother Yi, what does this common prosperity mean?"

Li Yi just wanted to say Grandpa Xiaoping's name, and then suddenly realized that it was only 1991, and the concept of common prosperity had not been proposed yet!

Grandpa Xiaoping first proposed this concept that shocked the whole of China in 1992!

"This is an adjective, which means that rich people should make money with poor people!"

Hearing this, Da Chu suddenly realized it!

"I understand, Brother Yi, you mean to make money with these villagers?"

Li Yi smiled and nodded, lit the cigarette in his hand, patted Da Chu on the shoulder, and said: "Ruzi is teachable!"

Then he said: "Then do you know what a businessman is and what an entrepreneur is?"

"Aren't they the same?"

"Haha! On the surface, there is no difference. Both of them are centered on seeking profits. An entrepreneur who does not talk about profits is unqualified, because without profits, there is no way to talk about doing things, and the value of entrepreneurs cannot be reflected. And businessmen who cannot make profits are directly facing the crisis of bankruptcy, so entrepreneurs and businessmen are not equal. The main purpose of people is to seek profit. "

But Li Yi changed the subject and said: "However, there is an essential difference between businessmen and entrepreneurs!"

"What's the difference? "

"Entrepreneurs aim to accomplish something, and profit is just a result; while in the general sense of businessmen, profit is his goal, and everything else is just a means. Entrepreneurs have a sense of mission to achieve a certain social value. "

Then Li Yi continued: "Businessmen value profit over separation, but they do what they should do and what they don't do. For a businessman, it doesn't matter whether he makes shoes or pants, as long as he can make money, and making shoes well is to make more money. "

Seeing that Da Chu still looked confused, Li Yi knew that he had only half-understood what he heard, and immediately said again: "Da Chu, we are rich now, but we must not forget the poor people around us! If a person is rich, then It’s nothing, but if you make the people around you, or the entire hometown, rich, then you are truly capable and a true entrepreneur!”

Dachu smacked his tongue, Brother Yi has such a high level of ideological consciousness, no wonder he can earn so much money!

It seems that my vision should be in line with Brother Yi!

………Dividing line………

Yujia Village is a little far away from Mushan Town. It's a bit far. In fact, it's almost outside the boundaries of Jiangcheng.

After driving nearly a hundred kilometers, the two of them saw this small village.

There are many villages around Jiangcheng, but Dachu has never seen such a poor village.

Adobe houses, a few small pieces of land, and walls built of mud and straw are the reflection of this village.

Li Yi sighed and whispered: "Work at sunrise and rest at sunset. These eight words not only reflect the hard work of the villagers, but also reflect their poverty!"

Da Chu understood Li Yi's words this time and nodded in agreement.

As a provincial capital city, Jiangcheng City has fully covered the entire city with home appliances such as electric lights, televisions, refrigerators, air conditioners, etc. No matter how poor the citizens of Jiangcheng City are, at least they still have electric lights.

But this place... doesn't even have electric lights!

"Brother Yi, didn't these villagers sell pigs to the meat factory before? Why are they still so poor now? They should have some savings!"

Li Yi smiled helplessly and said: "What you said is actually right, but the unified purchase and marketing was canceled too suddenly. Most of their savings were used to buy piglets, and they were unaware of the policy changes, which ended up wasting a lot of effort. The pigs that were raised were suddenly lost. All the money was used to buy pig feed. Where is there any savings? "

Da Chu nodded in agreement. It seemed that Li Yi knew better.

Life is not easy for these villagers. They were raising pigs well, but they encountered policy adjustments...

Li Yi opened the car door, got out of the car, and walked toward the village.

Upon seeing this, Da Chu turned off the car and followed Li Yi.
