Chapter 448: Holding a lifetime of happiness
Qinghe Village and nearby villages have seen the sales of the fruits that Xu Xiangdong planted before.
It can be said that Xu Xiangdong has made a lot of money.
To be honest, they are envious.
They also want to make money.
It would be great if they could also grow such fruit.
Just when they were thinking about whether to go to Xu Xiangdong, buy some fruit seedlings, and ask for advice on planting experience.
I heard the county leaders issue such a notice.
As soon as the news came out, almost everyone in Anren County was excited.
Especially after I heard that this fruit seedling was the same variety as Xu Xiangdong's, and that Xu Xiangdong also made a name for the fruits here.
They knew immediately that this was a business opportunity given to them by the county leaders and Xu Xiangdong, an opportunity to make money.
Besides, the price of these fruit seedlings is not high, and anyone who has land at home can plant them.
Because everyone has seen Xu Xiangdong’s success in growing fruits.
So now, after the notice came down, all interested people came to the county town to buy fruit seedlings.
Now two years have passed, those who originally bought fruit seedlings to plant them have already grown fruits, and now they are also making money.
Now that the fruit is available, its quality and reputation are also available, and sales are not a problem.
The only problem is transportation.
This fruit is not long-lasting. The fruit is freshly picked and tastes better when it is fresh.
Furthermore, although their fruits have gained a reputation and quality, those who come to buy them are from nearby places.
In places farther away, buying here will take a long time, distance, and money on transportation, so it is not so cost-effective.
It would be great if people from far away places could also buy their Anren County fruits locally.
So, Xu Xiangdong went to these places to run.
Finally negotiated some local suppliers and distributors.
Xu Xiangdong also bought several large trucks specifically to transport these fruits to these relatively distant places.
Of course, due to transportation costs, the price of fruits is relatively high.
However, even so, many people still like to buy and eat them, and those who grow fruits here in Anren County have also made money.
Furthermore, this money is not temporary, but if you can keep growing this fruit, the money you earn will also be long-term.
However, Xu Xiangdong still feels that this method of transportation is too slow.
After returning home, Xu Xiangdong talked about this issue with Xu Jinning.
“…Now, people who want fruit from those places have to call. You have to answer the phone one by one. If you are not there, you will miss it.”
"I'm wondering if there will be a more convenient way in the future. Even if no one is there, we can know who has placed an order, how much they want, and where it is."
"Is there any other transportation method? As long as the customer wants it, I will know it soon. Then from me, I can directly deliver the fruit to the customer in a distant place. The time will be faster and the fruit can be kept fresh. In this way , if customers from far away want to eat fruit, they don’t have to buy it at a high price..." Xu Xiangdong talked about his idea.
Xu Jinning became more and more surprised the more he listened.
and Xie Tingyu looked at each other.
I thought silently in my heart: Brother, this idea is not modern online shopping and express delivery.
For online shopping, as long as there is a network, a computer, and the items are linked, you can place orders remotely and check them at any time. And express delivery is the fastest way to achieve long-distance transportation.
However, let alone the Internet, computers have just appeared, and they only appeared in universities.
Ordinary people have no access to it, and it is not available on the market. Ordinary people cannot buy it, and it is not expected to be popular.
So online shopping may still take a long time to appear.
But if you can talk to your elder brother about this express transportation.
If you can't place an order online, you can only use the phone. Now, phones are gradually becoming more popular, and mobile phones will also appear in the future...
So, Xu Jinning told his elder brother about the idea of express delivery. The more Xu Xiangdong listened, the brighter his eyes became.
He felt that he could slowly develop his transportation team into express delivery, as my little sister said.
He felt that this was completely feasible.
However, he also knows that this requires huge funds and a team, which is not easy to establish, and must be done slowly.
However, Xu Xiangdong has this goal.
At this time, Xu Jinning didn’t know that just because she casually proposed the idea of express delivery, her eldest brother, Xu Xiangdong, started to develop the express delivery industry in addition to selling fruits.
The first express delivery company in China was born.
Even though other express companies have appeared one after another since then, this express company has become the leader in the industry, and the express delivery industry has even gone abroad.
Xu Xiangdong has also become a big boss in the express delivery industry.
But who would have thought that the reason why Xu Xiangdong got into the express delivery industry was just to make it easier for him to sell fruits.
Who would have thought that a leader in the express delivery industry would be created by unintentional planting of willows and willows.
Of course, these are all things for later.

This year’s Qingming Festival, everyone from the Xu family came together.
Xu Jinning and others returned from the capital city, and Ningdi and Xu Aian also came back to pay homage to their ancestors.
This year, the ancestral hall in Qinghe Village was also planned to be built.
No matter how they develop now or their descendants, they never forget their roots.
Sacrifice sacrifices to ancestors, remember ancestors, be grateful, and never forget the original intention.
On Qingming Festival, Xu Xiangdong also accompanied his wife Wen Yulan to pay homage to her parents and grandparents.
The two of them went with their three children.
Three years are enough for a baby to grow into a three-headed doll that can run around with short legs.
For example, Xu Yu, whose nickname was Xiao Yu'er, was a little baby three years ago. Now, she is a four-year-old girl with pigtails who is very cute.
Xu Xiangdong doted on the daughter who looked most like his wife to the core.
After Wen Yulan worshiped her parents and grandparents, she held the hands of her two sons and walked back.
She looked down at her son holding her hand, then at her husband holding her daughter next to her, and then thinking about her current life, she felt extremely peaceful and satisfied inside.
Mom, dad, grandparents, Yulan is living a very good and happy life now.
You don’t have to worry, Magnolia will take care of herself and will continue to live well.
Wen Yulan thought that if her current happiness could last for the rest of her life, then her life would be considered complete.
"Yulan, what are you thinking about? Come, let Xiaoji and the others hold their hands together, and I will hold yours." Xu Xiangdong, who was holding his daughter in one hand, stretched out his hand.
Wen Yulan looked at the big palm, smiled and slowly held it, as if she was holding a lifetime of happiness.
