I Have a Wealth Gathering Array-Chapter 375: Helping Qin Family Village

"Mama Wei, do you still go to the vegetable market to sell vegetables?" Zhao Mei asked.

"Not often, just occasionally in the morning." Mama Wei replied with a smile.

Qin Yun knew what they were talking about.

In the Qin Family Village, each family has at least five acres of land where they plant rice and various vegetables.

The produce they can’t finish eating at home is brought to the vegetable market to sell.

Back then, Qin Yun’s mother, Zhao Mei, often did this. She would get up around 3 a.m., take the vegetables to the market, and because she went early, they sold quickly.

The market is busiest in the morning; after the morning rush, there are few people left, and if you go late, the result is that the vegetables don’t sell, and you bring them back.

Actually, some vendors come to rural areas to buy large quantities of vegetables, watermelons, etc., but the purchase prices are very low, far less than the selling prices.

Take watermelon, for instance. In the market, it’s a bit over a dollar per pound, but the wholesale price might only be two or three dimes a pound.

So many people would rather endure some hardship and sell on their own than wholesale to these vendors.

After chatting here for quite a while, Mama Wei left, leaving the vegetables behind.

Zhao Mei couldn’t help but say, "Our family used to grow vegetables too, but now the fields are abandoned."

Before, Qin Yun’s family often gave vegetables to others.

Now, they are busy in the county and don’t have time to tend the fields anymore.

"Dad, Mom."

Looking at his parents, Qin Yun suddenly asked, "Are there still many people from our village selling vegetables? Are there still people selling watermelons?"

Upon hearing her son’s question, Zhao Mei nodded and said, "Well, basically every family grows some vegetables now. If they can’t finish eating them, they take them to the market to sell. There are also many watermelon sellers, not just at your Uncle Laigen’s house, but several others. Especially your Uncle Laigen, he grows five acres of watermelon and gets up early every day to take them to the county to sell."

She shook her head and said, "In the village, actually, many people are like me, illiterate, and besides farming, they can’t do much else."

If it weren’t for her son being capable, she would also be struggling, washing dishes in a small restaurant in Qingwu County, working as a temporary porter at construction sites, doing the hardest and most tiring jobs.

Qin Yun nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Dad, Mom, isn’t the cafeteria at the clothing factory expanding now? In the future, part of the vegetables needed for the cafeteria can be purchased from Qin Family Village."

Now Qin Yun’s monthly profit even reaches over 100 million.

Of course, compared to Qin Yun’s goal, this money is far from enough, and Celestial Fortune cannot always remain in the clothing industry; his ambitions are not limited to this.

But this is already quite huge, and compared to it, his Qin Family Village is too poor.

As the saying goes, returning home gloriously, now that he can earn big money, it’s not unreasonable to help people in the village a bit.

East Brother, Jack Ma, and so on, basically all give back to their hometowns.

Of course, Qin Yun is not a saint, like if he makes over 100 million, taking out part of it, say 10 million, to distribute to the people of Qin Family Village.

That’s something only a fool would do.

He won’t do that, but he can certainly do other things to improve the living standards of the people in Qin Family Village.

Buying vegetables from them is a very good method now.

The people of Qin Family Village may not have great skills, but they have been dealing with farmland all their lives, and they are definitely good at growing vegetables. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Buying vegetables from them means they don’t have to worry about selling the produce, they don’t have to wake up early, and run to the vegetable market to sell them in hardship.

In fact, the Celestial Fortune Clothing Factory has more than a thousand people, and with lunch and dinner, it consumes a lot of ingredients every day, which need to be purchased from the market anyway.

This is indispensable.

It’s just that now Qin Yun is moving the purchase from the market directly to Qin Family Village.

This has no effect on Celestial Fortune, but it directly improves the living conditions in Qin Family Village.

After hearing what Qin Yun said, before Zhao Mei could speak, Qin Guodong quickly said, "Yun, this is a great idea. I think it can definitely be implemented."

"Yes, Yun."

Zhao Mei also quickly said, "The vegetables in the village use less pesticide, and buying from the village is also safe."

Zhao Mei is now working in the clothing factory, but she doesn’t meddle in any affairs. Previously, she did have the idea of buying vegetables from Qin Family Village in her mind, but she didn’t bring it up.

After all, Qin Yun was always against hiring people from Qin Family Village.

Of course, at that time, Celestial Fortune was still small. At that time, Qin Yun wouldn’t choose to buy vegetables from Qin Family Village either, as it would cause a lot of trouble.

But now the situation is obviously different.

"Alright, Dad, Mom, since you both agree, let’s contact the village chief and discuss it together."

Seeing his parents fully support his idea, Qin Yun smiled and said.

Buying vegetables from Qin Family Village, and it’s not a small amount, will inevitably require a process, it’s not just a simple purchase.

After all, everyone has vegetables, and the quantities they grow are different. Celestial Fortune Clothing Factory needs a certain amount daily, and can at most purchase a week’s supply at once, it’s impossible to buy all the vegetables back at once.

Not even vegetables stored in a freezer can last long.

So the village chief of Qin Family Village and others quickly came over.

They were very excited when they heard about Qin Yun’s plan.

"Qin Yun, on behalf of the people in the village, I thank you!" Village Chief Qin Dabao said excitedly.

He knows the scale of Celestial Fortune well and has always been paying attention to the number of people from Qin Family Village working in Celestial Fortune Clothing Factory.

He feels that every place hopes to have an outstanding person, because once there is, the place, even the county and city where it’s located, could benefit.

Now, because of Qin Yun’s presence, Qin Family Village is clearly getting better.

"I’ll now gather the people in the village for a meeting to discuss this matter, and then tally up the types and quantities of vegetables in the village." Qin Dabao quickly said.

"Good."

Qin Yun nodded, and he also called the purchasing department of the Celestial Fortune Clothing Factory’s cafeteria, asking them to send two people over.

Next up is the meeting.

Qin Family Village is not big, with just over a hundred households, which were previously scattered around various places but are now mostly concentrated in the new village community.

At Qin Laigen’s house, Qin Xiaoyin had also returned by this time, staying at home, washing watermelons.

Qin Laigen is a dark-skinned, burly middle-aged man, with calloused hands that look weathered, his hair is dirty as if it hasn’t been washed for days, clearly a sign of long-term labor.

"Laigen, how did the watermelon sell today?" Qin Xiaoyin’s mother, Li Baosu, asked.

"Alright."

Qin Laigen, smoking a cigarette, said, "I’ve contacted a boss who can take some wholesale every day at forty cents a pound."
