Rebirth 80: Start by earning money to build a brick house

Zhang Zhonghe had very good physical strength. He and Zhang Ziming rode a bicycle each and soon arrived at Dabeihe Commune.

It was not a coincidence that we came here. Secretary Guo of the commune was discussing work with several deputies.

Li Yuejin, the clerk of the commune, received the two people and poured a glass of water for each of them.

The weather in May is already very hot, which means it will be cooler in the morning and evening.

Li Yuejin looked at Zhang Ziming in front of him. He was probably about a few years older. He was really outstanding.

Although Zhang Ziming did not hold any position, his reputation did spread throughout the commune.

The only bicycle ticket in sight in the commune was given to Zhang Ziming as a reward.

During the May [-]th Youth Day, if Zhang Ziming hadn't been at home, he would have been pulled over to give a speech.

You also have to wear the Youth Medal.

Li Yuejin was a clerk and a cultural person, and he had a strong desire to compete.

After pouring himself a glass of water, Li Yuejin spoke:

"Ziming, I heard that you co-wrote your novel with someone else? Do you take the main role, or does someone else take the main role?"

Zhang Ziming knew that Li Yuejin wanted to run against him, but he was a cadre in the commune after all, so it was better not to offend him.

It's not that he was afraid of him, Zhang Ziming was not afraid of anyone after his rebirth.

However, if this person puts some eye drops on himself, puts on some small shoes, etc., wouldn't it be as disgusting as eating a fly?

So, Zhang Ziming held the teapot and said:

"Thank you. I was really thirsty just now. The water Li Wenwen poured really quenched my thirst."

"What about the book? Of course, editor Xu takes the main credit. I am his deputy and signed my name. That's because they are promoting me."

Hearing this, Li Yuejin felt self-satisfied.

Although I, Li Yuejin, do not have an official position, there is only one clerk in the entire commune.

As I thought about it, I felt a surge of pride.

Zhang Zhonghe saw that Zhang Ziming spoke tactfully, and Li Yuejin was obviously jealous of Zhang Ziming.

Just when he was thinking of saying a few words for Zhang Ziming, Secretary Guo finished the meeting.

Zhang Zhonghe walked over quickly, wiped his hands on his body, prepared to shake hands with Secretary Guo, and said in a hurry:

"Secretary Guo, you have finished the meeting."

Secretary Guo nodded as an answer and looked at the young man next to him.

Zhang Zhonghe quickly introduced him.

I just heard Secretary Guo say with a smile:

"Zhang Ziming, you are Zhang Ziming. You made me wait. How many days will you stay on this trip?"

Zhang Ziming answered Secretary Guo's questions with respect.

After asking and answering questions, it seems that Zhang Zhonghe is a bit redundant.

"Ziming, there hasn't been a single writer in the commune in recent years, and you are the first one."

Secretary Guo is right, there is indeed no such thing.

Zhang Ziming is very modest. After all, he only plans to be a writer once.

Secretary Guo was curious when he heard that Zhang Ziming had other ideas.

"It sounds like you have other ideas? Tell me."

Secretary Guo was very interested in the young man in front of him.

"Secretary Guo, Uncle Zhonghe, and I do have some ideas.

Of course, the purpose is to make some contribution to the village. The Bottle Village brigade has raised me, and I know how to repay. "

Secretary Guo nodded repeatedly:

"It's good to know how to repay. How do you want to repay?"

Zhang Zhonghe was also very pleased. After all, it was Zhang Ziming who provided the money, and he, the brigade secretary, remembered to take advantage of it.

Zhang Ziming took this opportunity to explain his thoughts. Secretary Guo nodded and shook his head.

Zhang Ziming didn't know what Secretary Guo's attitude was.

After speaking, Secretary Guo nodded deeply but did not speak.

Seeing Secretary Guo thinking about it, Zhang Zhonghe next to him asked:

"Secretary Guo, do you think it can be done?"

"Our Bottle Village brigade has been very poor these years. Now Zhang Ziming finally wants to repay the village, and the village is doing its best to do so."

Secretary Guo’s brows relaxed at this time and he said to the two of them:

"Do you know why I both nod and shake my head?"

Of course Zhang Ziming's uncle and nephew didn't know. Even if Zhang Ziming was reborn, he was not a god. How could he know this?

Secretary Guo took a sip of water and said:

"What I mean by nodding my head is that I very much agree that you can do this. This is for the benefit of the villagers, and I support it."

Hearing this, the two felt relieved.

Zhang Zhonghe asked again:

"Secretary Guo, what does shaking your head mean?"

Secretary Guo chuckled:

"I shake my head, because I think your steps are a little too slow."

"If you want to build it, make it bigger. The furniture factory and the brick kiln factory can be run together and at the same time."

"As for the start-up capital, in addition to the part you raise yourself, the credit union can provide loans to your team. Do you, Zhang Zhonghe, have the guts to lend money to your team?"

With such an instigation, Zhang Zhonghe had no reason not to agree, and immediately expressed his position:

"Secretary Guo, as you said, as long as it's for the village, I, Zhang Zhonghe, will risk my life."

"As long as the credit union dares to lend, I will lend, and the two factories will do it together."

Zhang Ziming was very grateful to Secretary Guo at this time. Secretary Guo clearly understood the meaning in his eyes, and just sang along with him, allowing Zhang Zhonghe to accept the loan.

If he told Zhang Zhonghe about the loan, he would probably agree to it.

The free prostitution thing might be okay, a loan?Zhang Zhonghe doesn't have the guts.

Then we talked about the ideas and original intentions of opening these two factories.

Of course, the brick kiln factory was built by Zhang Zhong and his coveted brigade. Zhang Ziming knew that the economy would get better and better after the implementation of the "big contract" next year.

There will be more and more brick houses in rural areas. Brick kilns are not afraid of running out of sales. People who use bricks from around will come here.

It’s just that the construction of brick kilns may take some time, and you may not be able to catch up with a good opportunity now.

It was precisely this good opportunity that was about to appear that Zhang Ziming decided to open a furniture factory.

In the early 80s, setting up a furniture factory was not a good idea.

First, in rural households, carpenters are hired to make fresh furniture, and they do not buy finished furniture directly;

Second, this furniture, like the brick kiln factory, will definitely develop well after the economy improves next year.

Build it now for three main purposes:

First, lay a solid foundation first, and stable operations next year will be much smoother;

Second, furniture sales can now be carried out in communes and counties. Many families in communes and counties do not like freshly made furniture, which is very time-consuming.

If you can buy the finished product directly, it will definitely be popular. When the time comes, Zhang Ziming also plans to make a sofa.

Third, there will be a very favorable policy soon, and Zhang Ziming wants to take advantage of this policy first.

The threshold for starting a furniture factory is much lower.

First of all, there are several carpenters in the village, so just come over and work. The village will record the work points first, and you can share some money at the end of the year;

Secondly, there is collective forest planting in the village, and there is ready-made wood that can be used;

Of course, Zhang Ziming and the secretary had agreed to plant trees while logging, but they could not damage the ecology.

You can also buy wood and ask the commune for help, and you can still get some planned or unplanned quotas.

These are not problems. Now everything is ready to open a furniture factory.

As for the policy that the county was about to issue, Zhang Ziming thought about it for a while, but still didn't say it out loud. It would be effective if he waited a little longer.
