Qi Tongwei: Can I be young again?

In particular, in 08, he donated half of his fortune.

Such a person, possessing both virtue and talent, must remain in Jinshan County.

"Secretary Dakang, if you don't trust Xu Chunfeng, don't you trust me?"

After a moment's thought, Li Dakang gritted his teeth and said, "Alright! For the future of Jinshan County, I'll take the gamble."

With Li Dakang's support, Qi Tongwei was able to act freely and immediately found someone to draft a contract.

The tea plantations in Chunxi Village are a legacy resource of the collective, and have always been jointly owned by the villagers and the government.

Before a contract is drafted, the villagers' consent must be obtained.

That evening, Qi Tongwei, along with the old Party Secretary, went door to door, explaining all the benefits and profits of contracting the tea plantation.

Simply put, if the tea plantations are contracted out, the income of the local villagers will at least triple.

The villagers didn't understand the contract, but they trusted Qi Tongwei and the old Party Secretary. When they heard that their annual income could triple, no one hesitated and they all pressed their fingerprints on it.

Li Dakang agreed, the villagers agreed, and now all that's left is for Xu Chunfeng to sign.

Upon seeing the contract, Xu Chunfeng opened his mouth wide, swallowed hard, and looked utterly incredulous.

"County Chief Qi, are you serious?"

"You think I'm joking?" Qi Tongwei said seriously, "You've seen the contract, the official seal and the villagers' fingerprints are all on it. You're not going to back down now, are you?"

"No, no," Xu Chunfeng quickly shook his head. "I'm just surprised. Why did you come to me with such immense wealth?"

"Because I trust you, and I hope you won't let me down."

Xu Chunfeng picked up the pen, then hesitated for a moment, "With this contract, can we really get a loan?"

“Okay, give the contract to Ouyang Qing. She will take care of the loan for you.”

Aren't you afraid I'll take the money and run away?

"Hehe." Qi Tongwei laughed. "If you doubt someone, don't use them; if you use someone, don't doubt them. When I say I trust you, I mean it! There are only two months until Qingming Festival. If you hurry up, you can finish off the tea orders you have on hand."

"Thank you!" Xu Chunfeng took a deep breath. "County Chief Qi, I will definitely not let you down."

In just two days, Qi Tongwei not only solved the problem of tea sales, but also left behind a great business talent for Jinshan County.

Xu Chunfeng did not disappoint him.

After receiving the loan, they immediately took action and moved Chunfeng Agricultural Trade Company to Jinshan County before the Qingming Festival.

Then, in accordance with the contract, local villagers were hired to pick and process tea at a rate of 20 yuan per day.

Don't underestimate 20 yuan. At that time, Qi Tongwei's salary was only 800 yuan a month, and the average villager's monthly income was only 200 to 300 yuan.

This immediately increased his income two or three times.

Moreover, even after the tea harvest season ends, these tea-picking villagers remain employees of Chunfeng Agricultural Trade Co., Ltd. Their main tasks are pruning tea branches, cultivating new seedlings, and managing the tea plantations.

In this way, the employment problem in Chunxi Village is also solved, and the income is quite considerable.

Guyu.

Xu Chunfeng brought more good news: leveraging his network and the reputation he had built over the years, he secured two more large orders.

Each order contains 40,000 jin (20,000 kg) of tea.

A total of 80,000 jin.

In other words, including the previous order of 100,000 jin, the tea mountain in Chunxi Village must produce at least 180,000 jin of tea before August.

This goal is incredibly challenging.

In order to complete the task with high quality and quantity, Xu Chunfeng was willing to invest more, adding performance bonuses to the villagers on top of the original 20 yuan per day.

The so-called performance bonus is similar to a piece-rate system.

The more you do, the more you earn; there's no upper limit.

Money is the best motivation.

To achieve their performance targets, the villagers went to great lengths; some even went up the mountain with flashlights before dawn.

By six o'clock in the morning, the tea mountain was already full of people.

Even so, production capacity is still insufficient.

The target of delivering 180,000 jin of tea leaves within three months is uncertain. Even if the villagers work day and night, they may not be able to meet the quota.

Left with no other choice, Xu Chunfeng turned to Qi Tongwei again.

He meant that since there wasn't enough manpower, could they hire some tea pickers from other villages?

Qi Tongwei immediately rejected it.

“Mr. Xu, I know you’re under a lot of pressure, but we can’t set this precedent.”

"why?"

“Because the human heart is unpredictable!”

Qi Tongwei said in a deep voice, "With performance bonuses included, our villagers' daily income is almost all over 30 yuan, which is already an astronomical wage! With such high wages, people from other villages will definitely be envious. If the gap is opened and outsiders flood in, it will be difficult to drive them away during the off-season."

"It's easy to invite a god, but hard to send him away?"

"Yes, that makes sense. During the off-season, this tea plantation can't support so many people."

"What if I kick them out?"

"Heh." Qi Tongwei sneered, "When we haven't eaten meat, we can all get along peacefully, but once we've tasted meat, if you don't share a bite with them, someone might try something bad."

"County Chief Qi, wait a minute, didn't you say the people of Jinshan County are all very honest and simple? They shouldn't do something like this, right?"

"When it comes to self-interest, there's no such thing as being simple and honest. That's why I told you that people's hearts are unpredictable!"

Xu Chunfeng nodded and laughed, "County Chief Qi, they say both the palm and the back of the hand are flesh, but you're being a little biased."

"There's nothing I can do, I'm not a saint," Qi Tongwei said calmly. "Chunxi Village is a pilot village. Before the pilot village is full, people from other villages can forget about coming in."

Under Qi Tongwei's intervention, Xu Chunfeng suppressed the idea of ​​hiring people from other villages and instead communicated with the client to delay the delivery time.

Facts have proven that Qi Tongwei was right.

When they saw Chunxi Village develop, the villagers of other villages became restless and went to the county government many times to demand an explanation, saying that they wanted to treat everyone equally.

Their purpose is simply to divide the cake.

Moreover, there are quite a few of these people, and they all expressed their desire to join Chunfeng Agricultural Trade Company and enjoy the same treatment as those from Chunxi Village.

Upon hearing this news, Xu Chunfeng broke out in a cold sweat...

(Goodnight, everyone!)

Chapter Ninety-Eight: Li Dakang, Blinded by Political Achievements

Since Chunfeng Agricultural Trade Company settled in Chunxi Village, the income of local villagers has undergone tremendous changes.

Take April as an example.

It's the time when new tea is available.

The villagers start going up the mountain before dawn and don't return until 11 or 12 at night, and this is their daily routine.

Is it tiring?

It must have been tough!

Despite the hardship, the villagers didn't complain at all. Instead, they became more and more enthusiastic, and the smiles on their faces were harder to suppress than an AK.

why?

You made money!

Crazy work means crazy income; a tea picker with fast hands can earn forty yuan a day.

That's 1200 a month.

What concept?

It's 400 yuan more than the salary of Qi Tongwei, the county magistrate.

This month's salary is equivalent to a year's income in the past. Even if they were asked to take a break, no one would be willing to.

But problems soon followed.

When some people get rich, others become envious. Chunxi Village is making money like crazy, and people from other villages are bound to be jealous.

So, they jointly went to the county government to demand an explanation.

The scene was chaotic, with a sea of ​​people, like a battlefield.

Li Dakang, who had just returned from the provincial capital, was immediately dumbfounded.

"Tongwei, what happened?"

"What else could it be? They couldn't treat everyone equally, which caused public outrage."

"What should I do?"

"What do you mean, 'what to do'!" Qi Tongwei glanced at Li Dakang. "Where did you go yesterday?"
