Volume 1: Reborn in the 1980s, selling lunch boxes with my mother Chapter 168 I'll Keep Watching You
Jiang Tian's performance impressed the station staff.
The man explained to Jiang Tian in a gentle voice, and almost knelt down to swear that their public institution would never sell the state-owned shops to private individuals at will.
"Really? I don't believe it!" Jiang Tian looked at him sideways, as if the man in front of her was a bad guy who was undermining socialism.
"Really! More real than real gold!" the staff swore.
Jiang Tian left worriedly.
Before leaving, he did not forget to remind this unfortunate staff member -
"I'll keep an eye on you guys!"
The staff member spat fiercely only after Jiang Tian walked away.
"Bah! Our bus station is a state-owned unit. How can we sell the public shops to individual businesses?"
Just a few days after saying this, the staff member was slapped in the face.
A huge amount of money was spent on building the new passenger station, much of which was bank loans.
Although the current bank loan interest rates are not high, the amount they loan is large!
The monthly interest is enough to pay the salaries of half of the employees at their bus station.
This won't work. We must pay off the bank loan as soon as possible.
What should I do?
The leaders of the Transportation Bureau turned their attention to the storefronts in the bus station.
A few days later, an inconspicuous rental advertisement appeared in the local newspaper.
Holding the newspaper, Jiang Tian excitedly ran to find Grandpa He and asked him if he could accompany her to the county town.
She remembered Instructor Zhou of the county traffic police brigade, who was an old comrade of He Xiangjun in the army. Traffic police deal with traffic the most, so Instructor Zhou must know the leaders of the Transportation Bureau!
"You want to buy a storefront at the bus station? Do you have enough money?" The first thing Grandpa He was concerned about was whether his granddaughter had enough money.
Grandma He was eager to try, and her desire to spend money on her granddaughter was almost written on her face.
There was no way. The old couple had originally thought that after adopting a daughter for Xiang Jun, they would have to work hard to save money to raise their granddaughter.
Unexpectedly, the adopted granddaughter was so outstanding, she was like the God of Wealth who had descended to earth. Not only did she not let them spend money, she also often spent money on them.
From the Chinese New Year to now, the old couple conservatively estimated that Jiang Tian had spent at least several hundred dollars on them.
Before the Chinese New Year, Jiang Tian bought new clothes for the two elders from head to toe, and brought all kinds of new year's goods such as cigarettes, alcohol, tea, melon seeds, snacks, candies, and pickled and cured meats into the house like water.
The old couple refused to accept it, so Jiang Tian played the sympathetic role, saying that grandparents were old, it was raining and snowing outside, and the ground was frozen. If she went to the town to buy New Year's goods and accidentally fell and hurt herself, she would definitely have to give up her business in the store and come back to take care of them.
The store is so busy every day, how can she leave? She should ask her grandparents to be kind to her and ask her not to run around before the New Year. Tell her if there is anything missing at home. Anyway, the store has to go to the town to buy things every day, so just buy them together.
The old couple were afraid of causing trouble for their granddaughter, so they didn't dare to walk on the icicles to go to the town to buy New Year's goods.
Unexpectedly, when the Chinese New Year was approaching, Jiang Tian came back with a lot of bags.
This time, he rode a tricycle back directly.
The back bed of the tricycle was filled with all kinds of fried hairtail, meatballs, crispy fish, crispy pork, two killed and frozen native chickens, and all kinds of fried sugar-coated fruits.
Don’t ask, the question is that since the elderly are old, it is best not to fry anything in an oil pan. What if they get burned accidentally?
It's so inconvenient to see a doctor in the village.
Just like that, after a new year, except for spending some money on red envelopes for their younger generations, the two elders of the He family did not spend a penny this new year!
Now that they finally have a chance to spend money on their granddaughter, the two elders of the He family can't wait to use the money to buy a storefront for Jiang Tian.
The bus station really didn't think about selling these storefronts. It's not that they don't want to make money, but in this era, people subconsciously still believe that these storefronts are public property. It's okay to rent them out for some rent, but just sell them directly?
No one has the guts to do this yet.
However, it just so happened.
Before the bus station had time to raise money to repay the loan, the bank came to collect the debt.
It turned out that the bank president who made the decision to lend them the money the year before was reported for financial problems, and now he has been suspended for investigation.
The focus of the investigation, of course, is the loans handled by this bank president over the years.
The investigation team actually found some problems.
This bank president was extremely bold. When he found out that the bank's loan policy was very loose, he colluded with others to use state-owned enterprise loans to update equipment, build new factories and other projects, and obtained large amounts of bank loans. He then "laundered" the large sums of money into his own pockets through channels such as equipment procurement and project construction.
This time, the bus station was really hit even though it was lying down.
Although they took a bank loan and actually built a new bus station, as we all know, those who are in charge of infrastructure are bound to be greedy.
The only difference is whether it is big greed or small greed.
Unfortunately, the person in charge of the infrastructure project of the new passenger station is a greedy person.
Although I didn’t dare to make a lot of money, I could still make 20 yuan for a chair, 50 yuan for a fence, and various small projects that were subcontracted out…
In short, in order to prevent themselves from being implicated by the "big corrupt official" bank president, the "small corrupt officials" at the bus station decided to strike first and raise money quickly to fill up the bank loan.
We have all repaid the loan in advance, which at least proves that the money was not embezzled by the bank president. The higher-ups are busy checking other discrepant accounts, so maybe they don't have time to check them?
For a time, leaders of all levels in the Transportation Bureau and the Bus Station were trying their best to raise money!
Soon, a smart guy set his sights on the newly built bus station.
There are quite a few storefronts here . If we collect rent from them month after month, how long will it take to get the funds back?
It is better to take out a part of it and sell it at a high price to recover some funds first. As long as they can fill the hole of the bank's loan and keep their iron rice bowl, they can think about the future later.
Jiang Tian arrived at a good opportunity, as the Transportation Bureau had just announced that it was going to sell off some of the storefronts.
Fortunately, she asked Grandpa He to accompany her on this trip. Because the sale of the storefront was not made public.
The reason is very simple: one is that they are afraid of attracting the attention of the investigation team; second, the leaders of the Transportation Bureau still think that buying and selling public assets is rather shameful, and they always feel that they will be scolded as "prodigal sons."
After all, in the traditional Chinese concept, only prodigal sons who can't make ends meet would exchange their ancestral property for money.
