Super Farming Tycoon Novel - Chapter 317
317 Cute Little Orange!
Hearing that Gu Qingming would build an online shopping platform on the Internet in the future that would facilitate sales for the village, everyone became even more enthusiastic about working.
They did not doubt the authenticity of Gu Qingming’s words because there was no need for Gu Qingming to lie to them about this.
Previously, some people were not very willing to rent land to her. After all, the farmers relied on the land to live. They did not care much about the rent.
However, they did not have much land, and it was not good for them to offend the Shi family. Moreover, they were eyeing the job opportunities that the Shi family would provide. They wanted to earn some money to subsidize the family and reduce the burden on the young people.
!!
Now, they were no longer dissatisfied with renting out the land.
It wasn’t like every family had only so little land. They had other land.
They could use other land to plant things. At most, they could rent land from his relatives and friends in other villages.
Of course, this would depend on whether the items were easy to sell in the future.
…
When they returned home, the elders were quite happy to hear that Gu Qingming was going to build an online shopping platform.
“Ming’er, are you really going to build an online shopping platform?” Grandma Shi asked impatiently.
“That’s right, Grandma.” Gu Qingming nodded and said, “Online shopping now has become an inevitable trend for electronic sales in the future. There are many good things in this village, but because we lack a sales channel, many of them can’t be sold.”
The main reason was that the villagers were all old people. They could only choose to sell the things they planted in town.
If one was lucky, one would meet one or two customers who came to buy.
But the items were usually sold separately.
But how much could they sell separately?
This way, they could only stock up at home and choose some to sell from time to time.
When her grandmother heard Gu Qingming’s words, she asked with concern, “Darling, will this be very troublesome? Don’t you have to stock up like those supermarket owners?”
Gu Qingming shook her head and said, “No. I’ll get a shop on the shopping website. Then, I’ll take photos of the sales and hang them on the platform. When customers browse, they’ll be able to notice these goods. If any customers have this requirement, they’ll place an order. After receiving the order, we’ll just ship them directly.”
Compared to other elderly people, Grandma Shi’s thoughts were more up-to-date.
She knew that people nowadays liked to shop online, but she didn’t understand how buyers and sellers traded without seeing each other. Aren’t they afraid of being cheated?
Grandma Shi still did not understand.
Gu Qingming continued to explain, “Yes, actually, this kind of online platform is equivalent to a shop. Grandma, let me put it this way. For example, when we usually go to a shop to buy things, it belongs to a physical shop and is a face-to-face transaction.”
“This online platform is an electronic sales platform derived from the development of online technology. It is commonly known as e-commerce. E-commerce merchants would take photos of what they want to sell and post them on the online sales platform in the form of photos or videos. Then, they would introduce this product in detail.”
“Those customers who have browsed over will buy it if they have a demand for this product. After the customer places an order, we will directly distribute it and send it directly to the customer.”
Grandmother seemed to understand, but she still asked worriedly, “But, will we be cheated? What if someone doesn’t pay? Wouldn’t that be a huge loss?”
Gu Qingming shook her head and said, “Nowadays, many e-commerce companies have the modus operandi of having customers pay first before the goods are shipped to prevent them from not paying after obtaining the goods. After paying, if they are dissatisfied with the goods, they can return the goods and have them reshipped again, or get a refund.”
“Oh, so that’s how it is!” Grandma nodded in understanding. “Then if you do this, won’t you have to buy all the things you want to sell? But if that’s the case, won’t you have to find a room to store these things?”
Gu Qingming shook her head and said, “Grandma, there’s no need. Actually, I’m just a middleman. I’ll sell things to everyone. Then, I’ll take a commission for how much they sell. However, we have to make this clear in advance. Sellers can bring the goods to our shop and send them to the delivery company.”
When Grandma Shi heard this, she immediately nodded and said, “Oh, is that so? Then what should be said must be said clearly. When someone goes back on their word or something, what should we do?”
No matter when, there were all kinds of people. She was just afraid that some people didn’t want to pay after the items were seng, or that sellers didn’t want to give the goods after paying.
Gu Qingming smiled and said, “Grandma, don’t worry. It’s not too late to deal with the future after it happens!”
“Darling, if you think you can do it, then do it.” Grandma was very supportive. “Grandma doesn’t know about these technologies, but I think you’re right.”
“Thank you for your support, Grandma!” Gu Qingming hugged her grandmother and said, “Since I promised to help everyone get rich, I’ll fulfill my promise.”
Grandma Gu hugged Little Orange and said with a smile, “In-law, don’t worry. Mingming has been in the business world with her father and grandfather since she was young. It’s just an online shop. The child will definitely do well.”
Grandma Shi smiled and said, “I believe in Mingming.” What she didn’t say was that she didn’t believe in some of the villagers in this village.
As soon as Little Orange, who was wrapped in swaddling clothes, saw her mother return, she began to make a sound. First, one of her eyes opened. Her eyes first turned around and looked around. Then, after looking at Gu Qingming, her other eye opened.
Gu Qingming looked at the little darling’s cute and adorable appearance and her heart almost melted.
She took Little Orange from Grandma Gu and gently pinched her little cheek. She smiled and asked, “Baby, do you miss Mommy? Come, let Mommy hug you!”
“Yes, yes!” Little Orange made a humming sound, as if responding to her mother.
Grandma Gu said in amusement, “You heartless little thing. Great-grandma carried you for the entire morning. As soon as your mother came back, you chased after her.”
She didn’t know if Little Orange understood, but as soon as Grandma Gu finished speaking, she let out another moan, as if responding to Grandma Gu. She had a conscience.
“Haha…” Little Orange’s cute look made everyone laugh heartily.
Gu Qingming carried the child back into the house and fed her
She ate well, slept well, rested well, and naturally had enough milk. She planned to commit to full breastfeeding .
After six months, when irradiated complementary foods can be added, breast milk and milk powder can be mixed.
In less than half a day, the entire village knew about Gu Qingming’s promise to the villagers.
Hearing this, most of the villagers were happy, but a small number of them were disdainful.
