Chapter 154: How to make money

How much money can you make nowadays by raising a pig? Han Songlin can only remember a small amount.

Raising pigs is a time-consuming and labour-intensive task. For farmers nowadays, there is no better choice than raising pigs as a way to supplement their family income.

Rearing two pigs can earn you three to five hundred yuan a year, which is very satisfying.

If you want to make money, make big money, you have to go for large-scale farming.

But who in the countryside has the brains, financial strength and ability to do this?

Maybe someone has the idea and the execution, and just raises pigs. And they raise quite a lot of them, but then an accident happens and all the pigs are lost.

There is such a real-life example, and it will definitely scare off all the would-be successors.

Farmers have no capital to waste, and if they succeed, then everything is fine; but if they fail, they may need to spend decades paying off their debts for the rest of their lives.

How many decades are there in a lifetime?

That's why farmers are conservative. It's not that they want to be conservative, it's just that they dare not be radical.

It's not just farmers, it's the same for many people in the world.

They see a chance for success, but they dare not invest because the cost of failure is too great to bear.

'Have you ever thought about working for someone else?'

Wang Dashan was a little surprised to hear Han Songlin's words. There are no absolute idiots in this world, and it was obvious that the seemingly simple-minded man was only simple-looking.

Han Songlin was asking him to help him out!

'I, apart from farming and feeding pigs, have no other skills!' Who wants to spend their whole life scratching a living from the land?

Wang Dashan didn't want to do that anyway. There was no way to do that in the past; now that there is an opportunity, Wang Dashan also wants to try it in his heart.

Han Songlin took Wang Dashan aside and said, 'After the New Year, I will build a large pig farm on this side of the music pond. At that time, you can come and help me look after it.'

'Help you look after it? How? If you want me to help you raise pigs, I'll do it!'

After a while, Wang Dashan suddenly reacted, surprised and said, 'You said you want to build a pig farm?'

Han Songlin looked at Wang Dashan suspiciously. Wasn't his own words clear enough?

'Well, there's too much lees in the distillery, which is not easy to deal with, and we plan to use it as pig feed in the future,' Han Songlin explained.

As for Han's Marinated Delicacies wanting to control the upstream raw materials, there was no need to tell Wang Dashan; even if he did, he wouldn't understand.

Wang Dashan did know that the distillery had a lot of lees, and he had even asked for a truck to collect it.

The distillery didn't even charge the locals for taking the lees away to feed their pigs, they were all given away for free.

For the winery, this means that some of the lees can be taken away, and the winery itself will have to deal with less of it.

The existence of a large pig farm is very meaningful for the disposal of lees.

In fact, if the lees are not disposed of, they will easily deteriorate, and then have an impact on the environment.

In the 1990s, although people didn't care about this; as a later generation, Han Songlin naturally knows that just because other people don't care about something, it doesn't mean that you can do whatever you want.

There is a cycle of retribution in the world, and no one is spared by heaven!

You will pay for your sins!

Wang Dashan rubbed his hands together in secret, a little excited, or perhaps not a little, but quite excited.

He could not find the words to say.

Han Songlin gave Wang Dashan a gentle pat and laughed, 'Brother-in-law, please think about it and give me an answer!'

'No, there's nothing to think about, I'll agree now!'

Facing Wang Dashan's quick answer, this was something Han Songlin had not expected.

'Good, then after you get back, you can deal with the pigs at home. My sister...' As he said this, Han Songlin looked over at Han Xiuya, who was busy working.

Since arriving, Han Xiuya had been busy washing vegetables and dishes without a break.

Traditional women in China are busy all their lives, living a strong but hard life.

'My sister can't feed so many pigs alone. I expect to be quite busy after the New Year, so let my sister come and help take care of Mum!'

Zhang Suyun's health is a little worrying to Han Songlin.

She seems fine now, but she could be taken ill at any time.

This makes Han Songlin a little worried, and after the New Year, she needs to go to the hospital for a check-up.

However, Han Songlin was hesitant because he had heard many stories of people who seemed healthy but were actually ill and then lived in fear every day before passing away soon after.

Of course, there were also people who were cheerful after being diagnosed with an illness and lived a long life, playing and eating as they pleased every day.

Wang Dashan nodded happily. He was also a little worried about what would happen to Han Xiuya at home if he and Wang Le were both away.

'That's good!'

Han Songlin didn't want Wang Dashan and Han Xiuya to be apart for a long time, so he said, 'After the pig farm is built, there will be a special dormitory. At that time, my sister can also go there to help with the food and so on.'

The person in charge of the food would definitely not be given to an outsider.

Everyone knows that the food management is very profitable, so why not give it to someone from your own family?

Han Songlin wanted to let Han Songqing go, but Han Songqing was in charge of the canteen at Fule Wine Industry and simply couldn't leave.

The canteen at Fule Wine Industry, under the management of Han Songqing, was quite satisfactory to Han Songlin.

There was no loss in the canteen, which was impossible.

However, Han Songlin could accept the loss being reduced to a relatively low level.

'That's great,'

Han Songlin was about to continue chatting when he heard someone shout, 'Get ready to eat, everyone find a seat!'

Naturally, the mahjong table and everything on it was put away.

The poker and long cards were also put away.

Han Songlin was naturally invited to the main table, where it was now not only about seniority, but also about achievements.

'In that case, before we start eating, let's let Songlin give us a few words!' Someone suggested it, and everyone agreed.

They even applauded.

Don't think that people in the countryside don't know how to applaud. Everyone has been in meetings together before.

Han Songlin didn't refuse, and stood up. 'Well, I've been asked to say a few words suddenly, and I haven't prepared anything. Then, I'll talk about something that everyone is more concerned about: how to make money.'

This is a question that really concerns everyone.

'As farmers, what's the first thing that comes to mind when you think about making money?'

'Farming!'

'But our family only has three or four mu of land, and after planting all year round and paying the taxes, we can barely feed ourselves, and we can only eat meat every ten or fifteen days. If you want to get rich farming, I can tell you unequivocally that it won't work. Unless, you can farm several families' land.'

'Farming is not profitable, so I suggest that we plant fruit trees. I'm going to buy some loquat trees and plant them. In a few years, we'll be able to make some money selling loquats, but it's still difficult to get rich.'

Han Songlin saw that everyone was listening attentively, so he couldn't help but get carried away.

He would rather talk about his hope that these people, with whom he shares a blood relationship, can have a good life in the future.

In this world, it is very easy to just think about oneself and have a good life!

It is really very easy.

How low are the material needs of a person!

But if one just satisfies oneself in this way, isn't life a bit too ordinary?

'So, what should we do after all?'

What should we do to get rich is indeed a question that many people have.

If we don't think about getting rich, what if we set our goals a little lower?
