Volume 1: Reborn in the 1980s, selling lunch boxes with my mother Chapter 178 This old man is so smart
They only paid 518 yuan for the two plots of land, and they can pay in installments without interest. How can there be such a good thing in the world?
However, Jiang Tian and Grandma Hu looked at each other , and the old fox and the little fox smiled, and they both chose to pay in one lump sum.
For today's workshop, five hundred yuan is just the profit that can be earned by selling two batches of goods. It is better to pay off the balance in one go to avoid dragging it on. What if the villagers change their minds one day?
In the 1980s, the domestic land transfer policy was not as strict as it is today, but it was not something that could be decided by the village alone. Zhao Yongfu was eager to build the new "Grandma Hu's Big Meat Zongzi" factory in their Nanqiao Village, so he specially called Accountant Liu to accompany Grandma Hu and Jiang Tian to go to the town to handle the formalities.
Only then did Jiang Tian realize that the seemingly quiet Accountant Liu was actually the cousin of the town's new mayor, Han Sishu.
With such a connection, even though the mayor did not show up, the procedures were completed smoothly.
The town cadres were also quite rare. After all, these days there were very few people who were willing to come to them to handle procedures in accordance with the rules.
Now all villages are developing individual economy. Many families open brick factories, chicken farms, cattle farms, etc. They just say hello to the village, give the village a little money every year, and then directly fence off a piece of land in the village to start their business.
People nowadays don’t have as strong a sense of property rights as people in later generations. Anyway, the village has agreed, and they have built the factory, so who would dare to tear it down?
Besides, many villagers actually want to have a factory in their village. No matter how big or small it is, if they open a factory, they will definitely have to recruit workers, even if it is odd jobs. These days, it is pretty good to be able to find a job that pays by the day right at home.
But I didn't expect that Grandma Hu's Big Rice Dumpling Workshop, which has been so popular recently, would actually build a factory in a place like Nanqiao Village?
After completing the formalities, the town cadres half-seriously and half-jokingly "complained" to Grandma Hu, asking her if she had any opinions about the town and why the town was not given priority in allocating land for the new factory.
Grandma Hu smiled innocently:
"That's because we're short of money. Land in our town is in short supply. You know we run a food factory, so we use a lot of water. First, it's not easy to get water in town. Second, the land is too expensive. We have a small business, so we really can't afford it."
Thinking about how Nanqiao Village only asked for more than 500 yuan for two large plots of land, the town cadres' mouths twitched twice, and they glanced at the village chief Zhao Yongfu out of the corner of their eyes.
I thought to myself, this old man is so smart!
On the surface, this deal seemed like Grandma Hu got a huge bargain, but in fact, the whole village benefited and gained a good reputation!
Others may not understand the ins and outs here, so how could he not understand?
Why do the village cadres in many towns and villages nowadays approve the land in the village just by having a meal and taking two packs of cigarettes?
Anyway, the land belongs to the public, and the money from the sale, whether it is five hundred or five thousand, must be turned in. Even if the village can deduct a part of it, it is put into the public account and he cannot take it home.
But if you help to open a factory, it will be different.
In order to do business here peacefully, shouldn’t the factory owner show some respect to the village cadres during festivals?
Furthermore, the village cadres also have relatives and friends, or incompetent juniors. In the past, there was no way out. They could not continue their studies and had to return to the village to farm.
But if a factory is opened in the village, using their connections, they can arrange for a few people with connections to work there. Isn't that just a matter of saying a word?
Look at this Zhao Yongfu, who is busy helping Grandma Hu with the formalities, serving her more attentively than her own mother. Humph~ If it weren't for the relationship with Accountant Liu, he would have to give this old man a hard time today.
Now~
The clerk politely escorted the group out and even asked Accountant Liu if he wanted to wait here.
"Mayor Han has called several department leaders to a meeting early in the morning. Accountant Liu, why don't you wait a little longer? Maybe Mayor Han wants to see you."
Accountant Liu smiled and waved his hand: "Forget it. My brother will scold me as soon as he sees me, and I won't be able ! You must not let it slip that I was in town this morning. Let's go~"
Having said that, he ran away .
As I walked, I was thinking, did I believe your lies? Telling people in public that I am the mayor's cousin, won't that cause trouble for my cousin?
He is not a fool. Accountant Liu knows very well that his cousin is the highest official in both families. As long as they don't hold their cousin back, and their cousin gets better and better, the lives of both families will get better and better.
They are all relatives, and the two families are not enemies. Even if the cousin wants to take care of him, he will never do it openly.
Besides, even if his cousin doesn’t see him, don’t other people know about his relationship with his cousin?
Haven’t you seen that ever since my cousin became the second-in-command of the town, even their village chief likes to take him around?
Zhao Yongfu will retire in a few years. This old man is very smart. He knows that only by making him the next village chief can Nanqiao Village get more benefits from the town. His cousin doesn't need to make a special request for this matter. As long as Zhao Yongfu is not crazy, he will support him to "take over."
Accountant Liu was also very cunning, and he usually praised Zhao Yongfu in front of other people in the village. This way, when he got promoted in the future, others would only say that he was currying favor with the former village chief, and would not associate his promotion with his cousin.
Accountant Liu touched his nose and refused to admit it. After his cousin became the second in command of the town, his grandfather picked up a stick and called the whole family over. He told them to cultivate their moral character from then on. If anyone took advantage of others' power and ruined his grandson's future, he would have his legs broken!
After completing the land purchase procedures, the Hu family immediately put the construction of the new factory on their agenda.
This time, the two uncles were still in charge, but Grandpa Hu was more thoughtful. He asked Uncle Hu to sort out the projects of the new factory, pick out a few small projects, and distribute them to the villagers.
"As the old saying goes, a sedan chair is carried by people. The village has helped us so much, we should also give them face and assign a few small projects to them so that the villagers can also make some money. If someone in the village is jealous and wants to ask for benefits, we don't need to do anything, the village will suppress it."
Hu Jianguo nodded and took note of it.
Hu Jianjun thought of something else: "We need to build the factory on this side of the river as soon as possible. What about the land on the other side of the river? Should we build it together?"
Grandpa Hu thought about it silently in his mind and nodded:
"The scaffolding has already been put up, so why not build it all at once? To avoid trouble if someone sees that our factory is making money and then builds a house?"
