Reborn in 1979, with a female educated youth lying next to me.

After laying so much groundwork, all I was waiting for was to hear Boss Zhang say that!

As long as he agrees, everything else will be easy to discuss!

In Mr. Zhang's eyes, those defective products were no longer of any value.

But for Liu Jia, this was a rare opportunity to make a fortune!

Uneven surface, uneven coloring, or misaligned vent holes on the lid are all considered substandard second-grade products.

Normally, these would not be accepted by legitimate sellers.

However, it's a different story in the eyes of ordinary people.

If they could save a few cents, most farmers would rather have a slightly flawed earthenware pot.

After all, making money isn't easy these days, so every penny saved counts.

As long as the clay pot doesn't leak, what does it matter if it looks a little ugly?

This just proves what my mother always said: "Looking good doesn't put food on the table."

The same goes for earthenware pots; as long as they don't affect usability, the cheaper the better.

Liu Jia didn't have time to think about how much money he would make from selling a tractor of clay pots. He just clearly understood that once this truckload of substandard clay pots was sold, their finances would definitely be much better!

To put it bluntly, isn't this just getting something for nothing?

No investment required, just profit – this is like a windfall!

"Then I'll thank you in advance, Brother Zhang. So, for this trip, I'll take out a truckload of substandard goods first?"

Liu Jia was sincere, and his words were full of negotiation.

Mr. Zhang immediately smiled, and even his voice became much more relaxed.

"Let's do it your way. You call me Brother Zhang, so I have to give you face, right?"

"How about we do it this way from now on? Every time you bring in a truckload of payments, you bring back a truckload of defective products."

"A little more or less doesn't matter. I'm aiming for a long-term partnership, don't you think?"

Mr. Zhang's words delighted Liu Jia.

This one-to-one return is so hot it'll keep you up at night.

The tractor's cargo bed is large, and the profit margin is already considerable just from loading it onto the truck. If it's loaded even fuller, wouldn't that be...?

The more wealth you get for free, the better.

As long as the tractor can't crush it, then load it to death!

"Thanks, Brother Zhang. It's getting late, shall we load the truck now?"

"Go ahead, I'll write you a note. When you get to the warehouse, just give them the note."

talking.

Boss Zhang immediately took out a pen, quickly wrote a few words, and then handed the note to Liu Jia.

Liu Jia accepted the gift with both hands, exchanged some polite words, and then left with Qin Tianming.

As soon as they stepped outside, Qin Tianming grabbed Liu Jia's arm.

"Brother, we..."

Liu Jia quickly interrupted him, "Don't say anything, just load the car and leave."

Qin Tianming realized he had been too impulsive and quickly shut his mouth.

The loading went very smoothly.

When they learned that Liu Jia and his team were going to install defective products, everyone in the factory was overjoyed.

In front of Liu Jia, those people couldn't wait to start discussing it.

"We've finally gotten rid of all this stuff, otherwise the warehouse would have been completely full."

"Exactly! Top-grade products are being shipped out every day, which is normal. But these defective products just don't move at all. Who wouldn't get annoyed by that?"

"Let's all work together, move one pot at a time, and we'll never have to look at these earthenware pots again!"

Liu Jia smiled but didn't say anything, just kept her head down and helped carry things.

To those people, these were just pieces of junk taking up space, but to Liu Jia, they were stacks of banknotes.

Qin Tianming became more and more excited as he worked, as if he had inexhaustible strength.

Seeing how hard Liu Jia and Qin Tianming were working, the others felt embarrassed to dawdle any longer and quickened their pace.

It's not a big deal.

The tractor bed is now dry and level.

"Still pretending?"

Someone asked Liu Jia.

Liu Jia nodded, "Thank you all for your hard work. It's not easy for you to come all this way, so we also need to consider the cost of gas. Let's pack some more!"

After saying that, Liu Jia added, "Everyone has worked hard. I'll go get some cigarettes from the car."

Hearing Liu Jia say this, many people perked up.

They didn't say anything to Liu Jia's face, but they all thought to themselves, "This young man is quite adept at handling things, and he's very quick-witted."

then.

An older man took the lead and said, "Everyone, let's work harder and get rid of this waste so that the young man can leave sooner."

As soon as these words came out.

Many people nodded.

So, the defective clay pots started being loaded onto Liu Jia's tractor again.

Although they were all workers helping to load the truck, Liu Jia didn't give them cheap cigarettes.

Two filtered cigarettes per person.

When Liu Jia handed over the cigarette, some people laughed so hard their eyes couldn't open.

Some people smoke one cigarette in their mouth and another tucked behind their ear.

Some people couldn't bear to part with the cigarettes and secretly put them in their pockets.

Liu Jia pretended not to see it.

The cigarettes have already been given out; whether or not someone smokes them is their own business, so why should I interfere?

As long as they help load the casserole dishes onto the car, my goal will have been achieved.

After receiving the cigarettes from Liu Jia, everyone buried themselves in their work and no one said anything more.

Qin Tianming sighed once again.

Third Brother is indeed different from others.

Not only are their words eloquent, but they also handle things with remarkable skill!

Moreover, the third brother is always very generous!

Ordinary people wouldn't be willing to give out so many filtered cigarettes all at once.

Liu Jia handed out two cigarettes to each person, and they were even brand-name cigarettes. It made him feel bad for himself!

It must be said that the filtered cigarettes did play a significant role, allowing Liu Jia to effectively win over people's hearts.

The workers only stopped when the truck bed was completely full.

Liu Jia greeted everyone again before driving away in his tractor.

"Third Brother is alright. These defective products weren't sold in bulk. Otherwise, just this one bushel of goods would have been enough to cause us trouble."

"This back compartment is completely full, much more than usual, isn't it?"

"Is it really true, just like the factory manager said, that all of these are free?"

Once inside the cockpit, Qin Tianming dared to voice his doubts.

Liu Jia smiled smugly.

"That's right, all the money from selling those defective products on the truck belongs to us!"

"That's great! If we sell them at a lower price, these things will definitely sell out quickly!"

"Yes, I've thought it through. It's definitely not feasible to sell these things to regular factories like supply and marketing cooperatives. I'll just sell them in the villages!"

Currently, all villages still operate under the production team model, and each village has a loudspeaker.

Liu Jia had already planned it out. After arriving at the village, he would first find the production team leader, and then broadcast the plan over the loudspeaker.

Defective clay pots are sold for much less than first-class ones.

Only in this way will people rush to buy it.

Just now, Liu Jia had been thinking for a long time about how to promote these casserole dishes.

Making soup, stewing meat, frying and braising, and cooking porridge are all basic functions of a clay pot.

As I said before, as long as it doesn't leak, what does it matter if it looks a little ugly?

Besides, the defective products that were picked out by the factory weren't necessarily bad; some of the flaws were simply unnoticeable without close inspection.

Thinking about the clay pots he had seen, Liu Jia muttered to himself.

"The coarse sand material has a delicious taste, and if used properly, it can last for several years without any problems."

"Third Brother, what are you saying? What do you mean nothing's wrong?"

Liu Jia's voice wasn't loud, and since they were driving a tractor, even though he was in the cab, the sputtering sound kept ringing in Qin Tianming's ears.

So much so.

Qin Tianming only heard the second half of what Liu Jia said.

"It's alright, I'm just thinking about how to promote these defective clay pots."

"What? How do you advertise this? It's just a stew pot, for making soup or something, what else can you say?"

Liu Jia raised an eyebrow.

"You're thinking too narrowly, listen up!"

Liu Jiaqing cleared his throat, briefly summarized what he had just said, and then slowly began to speak.

"Our casserole is made of coarse sand, which conducts heat quickly and evenly, preserving the original flavor of the ingredients to the greatest extent."

"Our clay pot can be used to cook porridge, stew meat, make soup, and it can be used for frying, braising, and stewing!"

"A clay pot can last for several years, making it absolutely worth the money."

At this point, Liu Jia even considered adding a couple more sentences.

Take a look and see, you won't lose out or be cheated.

The later parts felt a bit cheesy.

But after saying it, Qin Tianming felt it was necessary to add something.

"Most of us aren't cultured people, so just shout a few words over the loudspeaker that we won't lose out or be cheated, and that will put everyone at ease!"

"That's right, when you call it back, just add those two lines!"

Just now, when Liu Jia said that a clay pot could be used to stew meat and braise, Qin Tianming had already started to secretly swallow his saliva.

How delicious it would be to stew a pot of meat in a big earthenware pot!

Qin Tianming had never ridden a tractor before.

I have never had the experience of sitting on a tractor thinking about stewing meat in a clay pot.

This trip made Qin Tianming admire Liu Jia immensely.

At this moment, Liu Jia, having calmed down, was thinking about something else.

Before this wind blows, let's seize the opportunity and make a big profit!

Otherwise, once everyone sees the potential for success and starts flocking to this area, it will be difficult to seize the opportunity.

People aren't showing obvious signs of following trends yet, but there's always a tendency for this to happen.

Moreover, Liu Jia asserted that the market would eventually reach saturation.

Therefore, I cannot waste all my time.

Within a single day, Liu Jia had this thought more than once, and even felt a sense of crisis.

Back in Xili Village, Liu Jia first found Zhou Fengshou, and then had Zhou Fengshou read the prepared text over the loudspeaker.

At this time, everyone was still at work and busy at the production team.

So everyone immediately became very curious about what was being broadcast over the loudspeaker.

"What casserole? It's just a casserole, how come it's being sold on loudspeakers?"

"It must be that kid Liu Jia again. I just saw him driving his tractor into the production brigade's yard!"

"I must say, this kid is quite capable. He does everything quite well. By the way, he said it's cheaper than regular clay pots, is that right?"

"It's much cheaper, but there are some minor flaws. You can pick and choose; if you like it, buy it; if you don't, you don't have to buy it!"

"I was just thinking of buying a clay pot. It doesn't seem like a big deal now, but in winter, food cooked in a clay pot cools down so slowly!"

When the last sentence was spoken, people craned their necks even further.

At this time.

Liu Jia suddenly walked out of the production team's gate.

Liu Jia came out at just the right time, just as he was finishing up.

He parked his own tractor in the production team's yard so that it would be more convenient for everyone to pick and choose.

To avoid chaos, Liu Jia and Qin Tianming first set out about ten clay pots before Zhou Fengshou made the announcement over the loudspeaker.

Zhou Fengshou called out several times in a row.

So when everyone saw Liu Jia, they immediately surrounded him and asked him all sorts of questions.

Someone asked what a clay pot looks like.

Someone asked about the size of the clay pot.

Some people also asked what the problem was?

Some people are already eager to see what kind of casserole it is.

Faced with everyone's questions, Liu Jia didn't know which question to answer first.

Finally, Liu Jia raised his voice and spoke.

"Listen to me, everyone. It's no use me to say how good or bad this casserole is. You all have to tell me."

"This clay pot has been placed in the production team's yard. Everyone can go and take a look."

"If you think it's suitable, you can buy one to try and see how it goes?"
