Rebirth in 1980, the rise of the golden age

On the second day.

At Tengxian Flour Mill, the meeting went on as scheduled.

The conference first summarized the flour mill’s work in the previous stage and commended several outstanding employees.

Then we talked about the factory’s work goals for the next stage.

As the meeting progressed.

Wei Guoqing, the factory director, brought up the issue of renting out the old factory again.

Without any resistance, all staff at the meeting agreed to the proposal to rent out the old factory.

For flour mills, it would be a very good choice if they could obtain new income by leasing old factories.

After the meeting, Wei Guoqing called Beiwei Restaurant.

When Li Youcai heard the news from Gao Dapeng, he was extremely excited.

He also took the initiative to find the flour mill and formally began to negotiate with the flour mill about leasing the old factory.

The lease term is 15 years.

The rent is 2000 yuan in the first year, and will increase by 5% each year thereafter. After the expiration, Li Youcai's Tongli Trading Cooperative will have the priority right to renew the lease.

After four days of negotiations, Li Youcai finally reached a lease agreement with the flour mill.

In the name of Tongli Trading Cooperative, a lease agreement for the old flour mill was signed with the flour mill, and the first year's rent of 2,000 yuan was paid on the spot.

Li Youcai finally got the key to the old factory as he wished and officially became the new owner of the old factory.

In front of the old factory, Li Youcai took the key and opened the lock on the courtyard gate.

Li Youjie excitedly helped open the rusty iron gate.

"Congratulations! Congratulations!"

"Congratulations, Brother Youcai, for getting what you wished for."

Upon learning that Li Youcai had successfully rented the old factory, Wang Changlin and Gao Dapeng also came over to express their congratulations.

"This matter can be accomplished thanks to the help of the two brothers. I will not express my gratitude for now. Anyway, I will always remember this friendship in my heart. I am the host today, and the good wine is ready. Let's not go home until we are drunk." Li Youcai bowed and smiled, feeling very happy.

When you drink water, you should remember the person who dug the well. Gao Dapeng is the main contributor to my being able to rent this place.

Wang Changlin also contributed to setting up the stage.

Li Youcai naturally had to express his gratitude.

Ha ha···

Wang Changlin and Gao Dapeng were both laughing.

"Don't worry, you will definitely be the one to treat us to a meal. I brought some rare goods today. Don't forget to pay the bill later." Wang Changlin said with a smile.

"no problem."

Li Youcai extended his hand to invite: "Two elder brothers, please come in."

Everyone entered the old flour mill compound that Li Youcai had just rented for a visit.

Although this place is still in a dilapidated state now, Li Youcai has already made plans in his mind.

After Li Youjie entered the hospital, he looked around and was extremely excited.

"Dad, is this place really ours from now on?"

Seeing such a large yard and the factory buildings surrounding it, Li Guanghu was a little shocked.

He had come to this old factory several times when he was young to deliver grain with the team.

At that time, the center of the compound was filled with ox carts, horse carts, and even large cars.

Workers were coming in and out, creating a busy scene.

Now, this place has become their home. Who could have imagined that?

"We've spent so much money on such a big place. What if the market your brother mentioned doesn't make money? What should we do?" Unlike Li Youjie's excitement, Li Guanghu was more worried when he saw the scene in the yard.

That’s two thousand yuan.

Li Guanghu felt uneasy when he thought about it.

"I believe my brother. If he says that you can make money by doing business in the market, then you can definitely make money." Li Youjie is now completely convinced by Li Youcai's methods.

Li Youcai established the Tongli Trading Cooperative and registered it under the name of Dongsheng Brigade.

Li Youjie was promoted to deputy manager.

His status jumped from being a member of a brigade to the second-in-command of a collective enterprise, which was quite impressive.

"I hope so." Li Guanghu sighed softly.

Li Youcai, Wang Changlin and Gao Dapeng walked into the compound.

"Brother Youcai, have you figured out what to do with such a large piece of land? Your rent is not cheap. I'm a little worried about you." Gao Dapeng said.

"Youcai is not like you. Since he dared to rent it, he must have been confident about it, right?" Wang Changlin laughed and spoke first.

"Youcai, tell me, what exactly are you planning to do with this market? I didn't have the nerve to ask you before, but now that everything is settled, please satisfy my curiosity and tell me."

Previously, Li Youcai only said that he wanted to set up a market, but did not disclose any details.

Nothing had been discussed at that time, and Gao Dapeng didn't feel comfortable asking.

Now that the fruit is ripe, there is no need to ask.

"It's actually not that complicated. I plan to build two rows of partitions in the surrounding factory buildings to create stalls, and then divide them into several areas for renting out, such as hardware, cables, small appliances, etc. I plan to divide this open space outside into two areas and build two rows of sheds. One area will grow fruits and vegetables, and the other will grow poultry, eggs and meat. The corner over there will be for rice, flour, grain and oil."

Li Youcai pointed to the open space in the courtyard, drew with his hand, and told the two of them his ideas one by one.

When Gao Dapeng heard this, his eyes widened. He was amazed at Li Youcai's boldness and also marveled at Li Youcai's ingenious idea.

"According to what you said, your market includes hardware, home appliances, fruits and vegetables, grains and oils, supplementary foods, meat and poultry. Hey, brother, you're trying to steal the supply and marketing cooperative's business."

"How could that be? The largest section of the supply and marketing cooperative is daily necessities, and here is a farmers' market. There is still a big difference." Li Youcai laughed and explained to Gao Dapeng.

Based on the strokes Li Youcai had just written, Wang Changlin had an idea of ​​what the market would look like in the future.

I couldn't help but sigh.

Unlike Gao Dapeng's idea, Wang Changlin was impressed by the concept of the farmers' market designed by Li Youcai, which was really ahead of its time.

If this farmers' market is really built, then in the future, when people in Teng County go shopping for vegetables, they only need to come here to buy the most complete goods on the market. There is no need for them to walk to many places like they do now.

"Brother Youcai, have you ever thought about this: what would you do if you couldn't rent out these stalls and stands?"

"Also, personal business is still quite sensitive after all. You've gathered all these people here with such fanfare. Aren't you afraid of problems?"

Li Youcai had naturally considered Wang Changlin's problem.

After all, it is the 80s now. According to normal development, the concept of farmers' markets began to emerge in 85. It is indeed quite advanced now, and the policies at that time were not so relaxed and there were many restrictions.

But the opportunity is right in front of him, and Li Youcai cannot wait five years to rent this place.

What's more, in just over a year, the household contract responsibility system will be implemented, and then he can rent out the stall to individuals for operation.

There is definitely no problem in making money.

"I've considered these two points. The occupancy rate isn't a big problem. As long as I can increase popularity, people will naturally come and rent a stall here."

"As for the issue of individual business, this is indeed not easy to handle. I would like to start with the various production teams."

"The production team itself is a collective unit. Every year after paying the public grain tax, the team will have a lot of surplus agricultural and sideline products. These products can either be sold to repay the debt or distributed to members. I can cooperate with the team and provide them with stalls to sell their products and earn rent."

"The same goes for fish. Many communes have fish farms, and the production brigades under them also have fish ponds. Excluding the bulk of the purchase, there's still a lot of fish that can be sold here."

"As for the stalls inside the factory, there's no big problem. Hardware, cables, and home appliances are all collective units, so they can be rented out normally."

Li Youcai expressed his thoughts.
