Those years when I raised bosses

Wang Xuan and the others did what they said they would do, with the sassy and efficient style of a soldier. On the second day, just after January 2004, 1, New Year's Day, they actually packed all the things they were going to take away and sent them by postal express.The two of them went to Fang Ling's mother's house together in the morning, and they didn't go back to the city and flew back to the south directly from the airport, clean and tidy.

In the main room originally reserved for Wang Xuan and the others, there were still some daily necessities that were not commonly used, and Wang Xuan asked his brother-in-law to dispose of them at will.Waiting for the processing to be completed and a little rest, this largest main house can also be rented out as a luxury suite, temporarily relieving the increasingly tense housing supply problem of courtyard houses.

Before the Spring Festival, Tong Tong received a call from the village head of Shijiala Village.

Although his household registration has been moved to Xicheng, He Liantian grew up in Shijiajia Village since he was a child, eating hundreds of meals, and he has received a lot of care from the village.During the Spring Festival in previous years, He Liantian basically would go back to the village to celebrate the New Year, earn some money and buy some gifts for the villagers he knew. However, during the Spring Festival in early 2003, because the homestay had just been built, all kinds of busy schedules, plus fear of being exposed by familiar villagers. Worried, Tong Tong didn't go back, but just remitted some money to the village head according to the usual practice, and asked the help to pass it on to each family.This year he plans to do the same, making up an excuse not to go back.

In the end, the village chief Shi Daqing said that He Liantian, an uncle who was about to pass out of five clothes, passed away to do some funeral work, and when he was dying, he specifically confessed that he would return the ten-acre orchard he had managed for the He family before.Back then, this kind of mountain orchard was not worth a lot of money, and one mu of land could earn hundreds of dollars a year for planting fruit trees.

He Liantian's parents passed away early. At that time, the family had no property at all, and the only earthen house collapsed and could not be lived in. The one-third mu of flat land and ten mu of mountain land belonged to the village collective and were only planted for his family.Later, the production was contracted to households. When He Liantian was young, he couldn't grow any land at all, so his relatives and neighbors took over the land and took care of it. By the way, this little production was used to help He Liantian, helping him until he was about to graduate from junior high school.

In fact, family love and nostalgia are all mutual help. It is still unclear who owes whom, and whether the land belongs to the He family.He Liantian didn't expect the harvest of these acres of land back then, and people didn't ask him if they didn't mention it. He didn't expect that the uncle's death would bring up this issue.It is estimated that the younger generation has gone out to work, and there is no labor force in the village to tend the orchard. People go back to the orchard to make a good name behind them.

The village chief also meant the same thing. He suggested that the village should continue to manage the land. After all, fruit trees need to be planted for several years before they can bear fruit. It will take a few more years to have a harvest.

At this moment, Tong Tong thought of a project, which is quite popular in later generations, and that is picking.

Shigao Village is close to the mountain, and the road is not far away. As long as the section of the road leading to the village is repaired, the hardened road in the village itself can be widened and repaired. In fact, it is very suitable for rural tourism projects.

The most important thing is that there is a large reservoir a few kilometers away, which is already a well-known tourist attraction in the outskirts of the imperial capital.Every year except for winter, buses and private cars keep coming and going, and a bunch of training centers have been built next to the reservoir, all of which are bases for large companies to engage in team building.

As for the picking project, it doesn’t cost much, and it doesn’t take much time, which just fills the gap in the last half-day of group building for large enterprises.For the villagers, when the fruit is planted, they don’t need to spend money to hire someone or take time to pick and sell it. They can just sit and wait for the team builders to come to their door. The tourists pick it up by themselves, and they pack it and weigh it to collect money. That's fine.

The price depends on the quality of the fruit, it is definitely more profitable than selling to fruit dealers.If you can get in touch with a stable source of large corporate group building customers, all kinds of fruit trees, crops and vegetables in a village can be sold at high prices throughout the year except for your own food, which saves manpower.It is most suitable for the development of this kind of village with a lot of loss of young and old.

In addition, there is a special hill in Shigao Village, where nothing can grow.Originally it was deserted, but once some experts came to see it, they shook their heads, but later they didn’t even have a cemetery for burial.In Tong Tong's eyes, this abandoned land that the villagers disliked was simply a treasure land, and it was specially used for Arbor Day activities.After the saplings are bought, every spring, schools, enterprises, and various groups can come to plant them. You only need to dig a hole and wait, plant the saplings and cover them with soil. After the summer, look at the living ones and sell them for money. The dead ones will be used as firewood, and continue in the next year. Just dig a hole and change a group of people to receive them.It does not take up good land in the village, but it can also generate income.

Tong Tong sorted out these thoughts one by one, thinking that it would be better to take the opportunity of mourning the funeral of the clan uncle, go back to the village and have a good talk with the village chief.Mr. Shi's family has children who are studying undergraduates in the city, and their ideas are also advancing with the times. The changes in the outside world and this novel way of making money may be able to persuade them.If the village chief had any doubts, Tong Tong would say that he learned the tricks from his brother-in-law Wang Xuan.With Wang Xuan's background, it is easier to convince the village officials with such foresight.

The village pays attention to doing nonsense before the first seven years. Since it is a nonsense, Tong Tong does not take the young He Xiaolu back, but entrusts the child to the newly hired Musao, and drives a second-hand Santana to Shijiajia Village alone. Arrive before noon, and strive to return before the evening, and read bedtime stories with He Xiaolu at night.

He Liantian, the deceased clan uncle, was closely related to many families in the village. He did good deeds during his lifetime, and many people participated in funeral affairs after his death.

Tong Tong offered incense and kowtowed in accordance with the local custom, and gave money to the people involved in the funeral, and did not exceed the local standard for special activities.And because it was a trivial matter, everyone was cautious in their words and deeds, Tong Tong's expression of heavy heart and refraining from talking with others made sense.

After hastily eating the lunch prepared by Baishi, Tong Tong went to the home of the village chief, Shi Daqing.

It just so happened that his son, who was studying, also came back to express his condolences. He was talking to his father about the civil service exam after graduation, to see if he could start from the grassroots and take the path of politics.The village head disagreed a bit, thinking that his son had finally passed the exam in the city, so it would be better to find a big state-owned enterprise that pays well, and there is no way to be a civil servant at home. At the grassroots level, what can be done.

"You are a civil servant, you have experience at the grassroots level, and you still want to be a village official for the rest of your life like me?" Shi Daqing scolded. What's the point of living in a poor country?"

Shi Lifeng did not directly choke with his father, but seemed to agree and said: "Dad, I majored in management, and the school is not a famous school in the industry. This major sounds high-end, but in fact it has no special technical content. In the future If you submit your resume to a large state-owned enterprise, you probably won’t be able to pass the initial screening. The civil servant exam is a way, and there are seniors who have passed it. You are right, I will definitely work hard to stay in the city if I pass the civil servant exam. No, take a step back and go back to our town and village, as a grassroots cadre, at least you will take care of it, at least you will not suffer. Work hard to make some achievements, from the grassroots to the top, step by step. "

"Are you determined to go into politics?" Shi Daqing asked again.

"Yeah, unless I fail the civil service exam this year, I will definitely find a job first, and I won't pick a job. If the salary is similar, I will do it first, and I will take the exam next year. If I can't pass the exam after three years, I will stop thinking about it." , stay in the city to work steadily, get married and have children. Do you think this is okay?"

After listening to a few words, Tong Tong realized that Shi Lifeng's EQ was not low, and he was successful.Regarding the plan for the civil service examination and the future, I must have thought about it carefully and made a plan. I didn't just think about becoming an official, and I didn't get a civil service job if I couldn't pass the examination.

Moreover, in He Liantian's memory, Shi Lifeng had always been a good learner, fair, upright and caring.Children who were around Shi Lifeng's age in the village were willing to listen to him, not because his father was the village head.It's because he really has the right idea, and he can always put himself in other people's shoes. He has a sense of responsibility before others, and what he promises will definitely be done.This kind of trust is not blown out of the mouth.

Shi Daqing has always been proud of his son, but he is not sure whether his son can stand the poverty and pressure if he really returns to become a village official.This is not a feudal society these days. Lao Tzu is the head of the village, and his son continues to be the head of the village. People who don't know the truth will definitely think that they are all under Lao Tzu's glory and derogatory with colored glasses.But if the son really wanted to benefit the village, how could he stop him?

His ancestors have lived in Shigao Village for generations, which is close to the imperial capital. Seeing that other villages with a lot of flat land have built small buildings and become richer faster, Shi Daqing actually has self-blame and unwillingness.I really hope that the younger generations will be able to build the village better, and even become a benchmark for the surrounding villages with more mountains and less land.

Tong Tong struck while the iron was hot, and said all the tricks he thought of to his face.Shi Daqing was still worried left and right, but Shi Lifeng's eyes lit up: "Brother He, these suggestions of yours are actually very good. I read the news in school in recent years and saw similar news. Maybe it is a way out."

"Those tricks sound good, but the key is that our village has no money to build roads. Look at the hardened roads in the village, which were raised by everyone in the past few years. We can't afford to repair wider ones. The road leading to the road, we I have filed a report and applied for several years, but the town has not approved it. There is no money, and it has been repaired for our village. What about other villages? Once you open your mouth, it will be difficult for anyone.”

"Loan, if the project can really be put into operation as Brother He described, it should be feasible for our village collective to borrow money from the bank to build roads, and then repay the loan with project profits. All the young and strong people who earned money have run away, leaving a hollow village with no way out." After finishing speaking, Shi Lifeng said provocatively, "Our village has no roads, and other villages don't even want to marry their daughters, and their sons have no daughters. What about my friend. In the future, I will coax a girlfriend from the city, and when I go home and see the bumpy dirt road, I might blow it up."

"Loans are easy to say, interest is not money? If the project can really make money, the loan will be fully repaid, and the villagers will not lose any benefits, and the villagers will not be able to explain this." Shi Daqing frowned.

"How much does it cost to repair the road for one kilometer from the highway to our village?" Tong Tong asked.

Shi Daqing said: "If the road is repaired, it will cost at least 10 yuan, and the road in our village is too narrow. Let alone a minibus, a car can't turn around. Even the proper road leading to the mountain No, it’s all repaired, it’s worth [-] to [-] yuan.”

"The people in the village are all rich now. They couldn't make up the money a few years ago, so maybe they can do it now." Shi Lifeng raised his mouth.

Shi Daqing continued to shake his head: "You see a lot of rich people in the city. In the countryside, they planed food from the soil. If they didn't go to the city to work, their annual income would be less than 5000 to [-] yuan. If you go to the city, you will spend a lot. Earning [-] to [-] yuan, and finally saving [-] yuan is a lot. Ask Xiao He, is this the reason? If the villagers are really asked to raise funds, how much money can he pay? Besides, his account has been transferred. Can't find him."

But Tong Tong said: "Village chief, don't say that. Is it because you dislike me for moving out of my household registration? I don't have my household registration, and people still have people. The village treated me well back then. If it's road construction, I will definitely pay for it."

In Shi Lifeng's impression, He Liantian was someone who moved bricks on the construction site, especially when he was just married and had a baby, so he didn't have any savings to support his family.What's more, people have moved out of their household registrations, and there is no house in the village, so they really shouldn't pay.So I just watched gratefully, and didn't respond.

Tong Tong continued: "Don't look down on me. In the past year, I have been doing business with others in partnership. Didn't I go back to the village last Spring Festival? I have saved a little money after being busy for a while. 10 yuan for road construction, I can go out alone."

"Ah?" Shi Daqing was surprised, his face full of disbelief.

Shi Lifeng couldn't help but asked: "Brother He, this is not the time to brag. Even if you really have 10 yuan, you still have to raise your son to live. How can you throw it all in the village?"

"Since I dared to propose those project proposals, I just thought that road construction is imperative, and I am also optimistic about the future prospects of the project." Tong Tong said seriously, "I can pay for road construction as an investment. We set up a company in our village to specialize in road construction. Do agricultural tourism projects. If there are profits in the future, dividends will be distributed according to the proportion of the investment. If we don’t make money, at least we will fall into a road, and it will be easier to get in and out. point, the risk is much smaller, and the project is easier to promote, right?"

Shi Daqing blushed and said: "Xiao He, we all know that you miss the past and care about your hometown, but it is really..."

Shi Lifeng's mental burden was not so heavy, and he persuaded: "Dad, don't get entangled. Since Big Brother He is in business, he has to take the risk if he dares to invest in this project. If we can really persuade all the villagers to participate, everyone's enthusiasm will be high. If you start the project in earnest, it will no longer be a risk. Brother He will make a profit if you pay. It’s definitely not a loss to improve it.”

What Shi Lifeng said actually contained the art of management.If only one person contributes money to start a company and engage in the so-called agricultural tourism project, other villagers will not be able to participate in depth, and they will dislike the interference of outsiders who always enter the village, and the effect may not be good.But everyone contributed money to this matter, and everyone participated in the same goal to become a village collective company. The enthusiasm of the whole village was mobilized, and it was convenient to use the company model for management.Let's all come together to make money in the project and get rich together. After making such a plan, as for how to persuade the villagers, it depends on Shi Daqing and his son's ability.

Tong Tong was not worried about this, but agreed that if Shi Daqing and his son could really reach a consensus with the villagers, and everyone was willing to pay some money to start a company together, then the 10 yuan from his side would definitely arrive in the account. fix it.

"By the way, what about your ten-acre orchard?" Shi Daqing asked, "A nephew of your uncle's family had always wanted to help with cooking, and his own garden is next to your home, and the land is connected Yes. I think that child is also an honest and responsible person, and has specially learned fruit tree planting techniques, so he was waiting for you to come back to discuss with you."

"Then listen to the village chief. I don't have any objections. I don't worry about letting him take care of the land, but after it really becomes a company, my garden will definitely be the first to be used as a pilot for picking. In case of loss of money, I will bear it myself If you make money, everyone will share it."

After solving the difficult problems in the village, Tong Tong made an excuse to go home to take care of the baby, and drove back at dawn without waiting for dinner.

Hurry up and go back to the courtyard in the city after dinner.Usually after dinner, Mrs. Mu would go back to the dormitory after finishing the dishes. Tong Tong was out today, so she asked Mrs. Mu to stay for a while.

Mrs. Mu is not dissatisfied with this, but prefers to be with the smart and well-behaved He Xiaolu.This reminded her of her son, the warm time when he was young.

"Sister-in-law Mu, I'm sorry to trouble you today, you should go back and rest quickly."

"Mr. He, don't bother me. Anyway, I don't have much to do when I go back to the dormitory." Aunt Mu replied, hesitated and said, "I have also chatted with those young people in the dormitory these days, and I know that your employees The income is good and the educational requirements are not very high, so I wondered if I could let my son have a try..."

Tong Tong does not shy away from close relatives, because like a mother, like a son, the son brought up by Mrs. Mu's ability is second to none, at least his conduct is not wrong: "What major does your son study, and how old is he? Would he be willing to do this type of job?" What about your job?"

"My son is almost [-] this year. After graduating from high school and re-studying for a year, he still couldn't get a good undergraduate degree, so he simply followed his fellow villagers to work in the imperial capital. In fact, it's not as good as going to a vocational high school or a technical school to learn a craft at least. I think The employees here are all graduates from vocational high schools, and their income is no worse than that of those who come from Daben." Musao frowned, and shook her head again, "Actually, since I came to your place, I have told my son that the work here is good and the salary is good, but he, I really don’t want to come here. Maybe it’s because of a quarrel, or he has already signed a contract and promised favors in this job, so he can’t just quit.”

"Your province does have high requirements for college entrance examination scores. With the same score, you can get a prestigious school in the imperial capital. I'm afraid your undergraduate degree will be suspended. If you were able to enter high school back then, your son must have done well in his studies." Tong Tong boasted .

"How should I put it, he is not stupid, he is also a good boy who is willing to work hard and be filial. It is just that he is short of education, and he works hard every day to post small advertisements on the street, and he is doing miscellaneous things, carrying bags and unloading goods, and his income is actually quite low. Not as stable as me..."

"If your son doesn't want to do a job like hotel management, and you force him to come to me, it may be awkward for him to agree for a while." Tong Tong put himself in his shoes and thought for a while, "Why don't you tell me where he works now? Take the time to take a look at the side to find out. If his job prospects are good, it’s okay to work harder now. I did all the jobs your son did back then, and I can tell the good from the bad with some experience.”
