A small business that earns 50,000 in January. A friend of mine who has been in the small business for over a decade says that in the month before the New Year, he can earn about 50,000 to 60,000, doing business only with rural people.

He has a small truck and goes to the production area to pull apples, only pulling second-grade fruit, which has slight blemishes and does not meet first-grade standards.

The price is very low, just a few dimes per pound. After returning home, he bags them, with some bags containing 20 pounds and others 30 pounds, and takes them to rural markets. He sells them at 2 yuan per pound, moving several thousand pounds every day.

People who are not familiar with rural life might think that no one would buy dozens of pounds of apples at once, as they take up space and can spoil easily.

Firstly, buying things in rural areas is not as convenient as in cities, and secondly, apples at 2 yuan per pound are very cheap, so people usually buy them by the whole bag.

He makes over a yuan per pound, with a net profit of several thousand yuan a day, and sometimes in a month, he earns almost as much as a year's salary from a job.
