Send me to the countryside? Turn around and make you homeless!

Earning foreign exchange, taking out US dollars and euros from foreign friends, this thing is easy to say, but it is not so easy to do.

That’s right, Tan Yuan wanted to start with the accessories that women often wear.

It's not just women, men also need accessories. The hat on the head, the watch on the wrist, the brooch on the clothes, which one is not an accessory?

These inconspicuous little things can better reflect a person's taste.

When it comes to cooperating with others, one's wealth and strength are the key factors, and even these insignificant things can play a crucial role.

The Chinese people are still at the stage of solving the problem of food and clothing, but now is the best time to expand their vision to the whole world.

It’s just like the life next to China. Life here is pretty comfortable.

In Tan Yuan's memory, the financial crisis that brought her downfall would not break out for another ten years, that is, in 1990.

The decade between now and 1990 was the time when the small-scale economy developed most rapidly.

Traditional clothing for daily life requires a lot of accessories, such as velvet flowers and beaded flowers, and of course the more exquisite the better.

As for real flowers?

How can real flowers compare to velvet flowers? Even if the real flowers are freshly picked and worn on your head, won’t they wilt after a day?

Wilted flowers are neither beautiful nor auspicious, and can never compare to the everlasting velvet flowers.

Europeans prefer pearls and gems.

As for pearls, Tan Yuan still remembers some methods of artificially cultivating pearls, which do not require much technical skills.

As far as she knows, the technology for artificial breeding already exists, but it has not been widely promoted. However, after 20 years, this technology will begin to be promoted in China, and China will become the world's largest freshwater pearl breeding country.

It is originally a pearl farming industry and is already the largest pearl farming country. It is just that the development was advanced by a few decades. It should not be a big deal.

Not only pearls, but also artificial diamonds and crystals, all of which are the result of technological development.

According to the historical process of the previous life, foreigners should have taken advantage of China's low labor costs to raise these things in China, and finally sold them to China and even the whole world at high prices.

Most of the wealth gained went into the pockets of foreigners.

Now she uses her country's labor force to earn foreign exchange, and finally uses it to develop her own country. The time is more than 20 years earlier, and the foreign exchange has been transferred from the hands of capitalists to the hands of the country.

The difference doesn't seem to be particularly big.

It didn't take much time to convince myself, but it took obviously more time to convince Zhang Xingguo.

Zhang Xingguo originally thought that Tan Yuan would set her sights on food.

After all, this is what Tan Yuan did in Changyun County and Huaiyin Brigade.

Human life cannot be separated from three meals a day. You can wear worse clothes and use less, but you absolutely cannot skimp on food.

From high-ranking officials and foreign guests at state banquets to farmers, educated youth and three-year-old children, everyone needs to eat. Food is something that must be consumed every day. It is a consumable and a source of continuous foreign exchange.

And this is exactly what Tan Yuan is good at. Tan Yuan was able to lead the cadres and members of the Huaiyin Brigade, a backward and remote place, to build a tofu factory, canned fish, and spicy strips. Now when she arrives in Hangzhou, with his unconditional support, she should be able to produce more food.

Zhang Xingguo is no stranger to Western food. How should I put it? It's just to fill the stomach, and it's better than nothing. Compared with the major Chinese cuisines, it's just a drop in the bucket and is not worthy of being on the table.

If Tan Yuan can create food that is popular with Westerners, then why would she still have to worry about foreign exchange?

"No, that's not how it's said, and that's not how it should be viewed."

Tan Yuan shook her head. She did not agree with Zhang Xingguo's point of view.

"We think their food is not tasty simply because our eating habits and tastes are different from theirs. For example, I don't like Hangzhou's food either."

Just because she didn't like and wasn't used to the food in Hangzhou and didn't want to treat herself badly, Tan Yuan asked Zhang Xingguo to stop hiring the aunt who had been specially hired to help her cook and clean the house.

She can cook by herself, and it’s hygienic. To be honest, there’s nothing to clean up, so she can just do it herself.

"It's very difficult to change a person's eating habits. We're all Chinese, and that's the case, let alone foreigners. It might be okay to let them try something new occasionally, but eating it every day...it's unlikely."

Tan Yuan shook her head and was not optimistic. Even if it could be changed, it would take time. It was unlikely in a short period of time and we had to look at the long term.

However, when this long period really comes, I am afraid that the opportunity will be gone. What's the point of talking about earning foreign exchange and using foreign exchange to develop the economy of our own country? We should just follow the historical process of the previous life and proceed slowly.

Tan Yuan felt that God gave her a rebirth not to keep things the same, but to change. If possible, she could change as well as China.

The butterfly's wings flutter, and the world's pattern cannot remain unchanged forever.

Zhang Xingguo fell into deep thought. He was too presumptuous and had never encountered this before, which led to the current situation. He needed to reflect on this.

If food doesn't work, then accessories will do?

"Will it be even slower if it's accessories?"

"Of course not, Comrade Zhang Xingguo. You saw it the other day at the exchange meeting. Those foreigners' female companions, and those wealthy women, who didn't have any jewelry? And not just them, but also the men's hats, crutches, brooches, and status-symbolizing watches—aren't each of them jewelry?"

It's not just the rich, it's the same for people who live a little poorly.

Even the Chinese, who are still struggling to make ends meet, do the same thing, don’t they? They also use accessories in their daily lives.

Sometimes it's a sparkling hairpin, sometimes it's a yellow wildflower by the roadside...

We can see them everywhere in our daily life, so why can’t we earn foreign exchange by doing so? As long as the things they make are more refined and beautiful.

There may be differences in aesthetics, but beautiful things are all the same, and no one who sees them can say that they are ugly.

Foreigners are not blind, they can naturally tell the difference.

"I think so. Aren't there a lot of brands in foreign countries? Why can't we in China create our own brands?"

There are many foreign luxury goods that have reaped the money of many people by claiming to be high-end, and people flock to them just for the sake of a brand.

Foreigners can create brands, especially high-end brands, so naturally Chinese can do it too.
