Chapter 868 Director Cao, let’s discuss something (8100)
In contrast, Cao Shujie seemed particularly calm.
He has experienced too many things in the past few years, such as the opening of the Mengmeng Orchard, which is repeated every year. No matter whether the results are good or bad, it can no longer make him feel upset again.
As for the children's theme park, Cao Shujie had no intention of making money from it from the beginning.
While walking in the lanes of Caojiazhuang, he saw someone standing in the lane. Cao Shujie went up to say hello and chatted with the person for a while.
When someone offered him a cigarette, Cao Shujie waved his hand and refused.
They also knew that Cao Shujie did not smoke anymore, and giving way to him was out of a subconscious habit.
"Uncle Hai, how are you preparing? Why don't you go to the park and set up a stall?" Cao Shujie walked to the southwest alley, looked at Cao Jianhai standing at the door, and started chatting with him.
Cao Jianhai and his father are from the same generation, but they are not from the same clan. They belong to the fifth server.
But they are all from the same village, and I can't write two characters of Cao in one stroke.
When Cao Jianhai heard Cao Shujie's question, he smiled happily. "It's okay, Shujie. I went to the county to customize a mobile food truck. Then I will set up a stall next to the park selling pancakes, sausages, and bamboo dumplings."
"Even though there are only these simple snacks, it is not easy to make them well."
He seemed a little excited and said to Cao Shujie: "In order to learn this craft, I spent 5,000 yuan in tuition."
"Does this also cost money?" Cao Shujie was quite surprised.
He doesn't understand this area.
Cao Jianhai nodded heavily: "If it's ordinary, you can watch others make it and go back and fiddle around by yourself. You can make it by doing it a few times. But this one is different and tastes better."
"Is there anything unclean?" Cao Shujie asked him.
I have heard before that there is a steamed bun shop in town that makes steamed buns that are very delicious and fragrant. I still want to eat them after eating. However, some people say that there are steamed buns in that steamed bun shop. It was only in those years that I checked.
It's just lax.
Cao Jianhai understood it as soon as he heard it, and he quickly shook his head: "Shujie, don't worry, I will definitely not do those unethical things. It's just that the recipe of the seasoning is different."
"After I get the dining car here, you can arrange for someone to check my condiments first. If a problem is found, I will have to file a claim with the company where I studied."
"If you fake it, you'll pay ten, haha!"
Cao Shujie saw that Cao Jianhai looked more cheerful, and he felt relieved.
He also asked Cao Jianhai how much it cost to open a food truck, but Cao Jianhai told him that it cost less than 10,000 yuan!
"Uncle Hai, you have invested a lot."
"Hey, these ten thousand yuan are nothing. Compared with you, I am just childish."
"Mainly, I think what you said is right. If you want to make money, you have to invest first. Besides, you have paved the way ahead. I have invested less than 20,000 yuan in total, so it doesn't matter." Cao Jianhai looked at Cao Shujie who was still showing off.
He was filled with emotion at that face of his age.
He took another deep puff of cigarette and blew out smoke rings to the side: "Shujie, speaking of which, I am also taking advantage of you."
"When I used to work outside, I would be working until the end of the year, and my salary would often be deducted from 5,000 to 10,000 yuan. It was said that it would be settled in the coming year, but how many of them were really paid?"
"To this day, you still owe me money that you haven't paid."
"But now we can make money in the village. How could we dare to think of such a good thing before?"
Cao Shujie laughed: "Uncle Hai, this is just the beginning. You can make more money in the future."
Cao Jianhai said ‘hmm’, Thaksin believes this!
However, Cao Shujie asked him about what he said just now about someone who owed him money, and Cao Jianhai also told him about how he used to work outside with a contractor.
According to Cao Jianhai, following those contractors out because Party A is slow to settle their wages and the contractors will suppress their wages for one or two months at the end of each year is a conscientious person.
"There are also those wicked people who owe others a year's salary and refuse to pay them, so they have a dark heart!"
Cao Jianhai felt sad when talking about these "old things from the past". At the end of the conversation, seeing that it was almost noon, he invited Cao Shujie to his home for dinner.
"Shujie, come to my house for a drink. I'll ask Aunt You to prepare some more good dishes."
"No, I have to go to other places. I'm busy these days, so I can't have any problems." Cao Shujie and Cao Jianhai said goodbye and walked northwest.
They said there would be no problems, but something still happened.
I went to set up a stall near a children's theme park, and Cao Shujie said in advance that he would not charge stall management fees. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that this was a profitable business, so they naturally wanted to go.
Not only the folks in Caojiazhuang want to go, but the folks in Zhujiazhuang in the south also want to go, and the people in Taodong Village in the north also have the same idea.
The village party secretaries of these two villages, Zhu Hongwei and Zhuang Xuejian, had asked Cao Jianlong to take the lead and wanted to talk to Cao Shujie about this matter.
They also promised that they would even ask the folks from their village who come to set up stalls to pay stall management fees.
But this matter was still rejected by Cao Shujie.
What Cao Shujie was thinking about was that after he first mentioned that he needed more than 100 acres of land to build a children's theme park, the villagers collectively sold the land to him for free to build a children's theme park. Cao Shujie thought at that time that these villagers should get the benefits.
Some rewards.
Otherwise, he would feel uneasy.
But this has nothing to do with Zhujiazhuang and Taodong Village.
Looking across the street at the dozen or so people from neighboring villages who were noisy with their fellow villagers, Cao Shujie hurriedly walked over to stop them, fearing that they would take action again in the end.
In the crowd, someone immediately recognized him and quickly greeted him: "Director Cao, you can't do this?"
"What kind?" Cao Shujie asked him.
"I want to set up a stall. Do you think this will work? I'll pay to rent the stall." The middle-aged man said.
Who doesn’t want to make more money?
But Cao Shujie was not ambiguous about this matter. He refused directly without leaving them any thoughts.
He also told them not to think about this matter anymore, and if they wanted to find new ways to make money, they could go to their village party secretary to find a way.
"Director Cao, if our village party secretary was half as capable as you, I wouldn't bother you." This was said by an unknown middle-aged woman, and she really dared to say it.
But she spoke what other villagers were thinking.
Everyone knows that they can make money in the past two years, mainly because of their participation in the agricultural planting cooperative and Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative behind Caojiazhuang. They have nothing to do with their village party secretary.
"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. Let me ask you a question."
The noisy crowd became quiet when they heard what Cao Shujie said.
Cao Shujie asked: "Does any of you know how the children's theme park came to be?"
No one in the crowd spoke.
Cao Shujie didn't mind telling them: "It was built by all the villagers in Caojiazhuang who sold 15 hectares of land for free. All the people in our village have lost at least 150 acres of orchard income. Do you understand?"
"I asked them to set up a stall to make up for the lost money in other ways. If you go to set up a stall too, what does that mean?"
The people in Zhujiazhuang stopped talking.
They really don't understand what's going on here, and they don't know that such a thing exists.
It really hurts me to think about them donating 150 acres of land for free!
But there were also people with farsightedness who said on the spot: "Director Cao, why don't you come to our village to invest in a children's theme park? I'm willing to give up the land for you to use."
"Yes, I am willing too."
Others followed suit.
The corners of Cao Shujie's eyes twitched, and he said to them on the spot: "You have such a weird idea. Do you know how much money it costs to invest in a children's theme park?"
Not to mention that the people in Zhujiazhuang didn't know, even the people in Caojiazhuang didn't know, and they were asked again.
Cao Shujie said: "The money I have just thrown in is almost 30 million. You really think these are pieces of paper blown by the strong wind, and you still ask me to invest in you. How dare you think that I still have to invest?"
Paying maintenance fees, paying workers’ wages, the park only generates a few incomes, it’s a purely money-losing business.”
If someone says they will lose money, these people will definitely not believe it. They just think they are being modest.
But when Cao Shujie said he would lose money, they believed him!
This matter seemed to be hopeless, and the people who gathered together did not continue to make trouble and dispersed.
Not long after, Zhu Hongwei received the news and found out that something like this had happened. After learning the whole story, he personally found Cao Shujie and apologized to him.
"Lao Zhu, let's not do this. Don't even think about the children's theme park."
"But since you are such a big Zhujiazhuang, you can't rely on me for everything. As the village party secretary of Zhujiazhuang, you have to think carefully about what other advantages your village has, and you have to lead them to give full play to their own advantages.
"Cao Shujie said to Zhu Hongwei earnestly.
Zhu Hongwei kept nodding, seemingly acknowledging what Cao Shujie said.
Cao Shujie finally said something like a rant: "If your Zhujiazhuang wants to imitate Caojiazhuang in everything, then you might as well just merge into Caojiazhuang."
"Eh?"
"Eh!"
When Zhu Hongwei heard what Cao Shujie said, he immediately nodded in surprise: "Director Cao, how about we go to the town to find Secretary Liu now and take care of this matter?"
"What's the matter?" Cao Shujie didn't even respond.
Zhu Hongwei said: "Just merge Zhujiazhuang into Caojiazhuang. In that case, we will be one village. If Director Cao doesn't mind it, just give me a deputy secretary. From now on, we will all listen to Director Cao's advice on how to develop. Who else will we do?"
If mom dares to disobey, I will be the first to stand up and kill him."
"..." Cao Shujie was unable to complain.
After a while, he asked Zhu Hongwei: "Old Zhu, can you be more shameless?"
"Director Cao's words are obvious. Face is worth a lot of money. It is most embarrassing to have no money." Zhu Hongwei understood deeply.
This time it was him who kept complaining to Cao Shujie: "Director Cao, you don't know that many villagers in our village have rebelled. They are obsessed with integrating into Caojiazhuang, and they even came to ask me how to change their household registration from Zhujiazhuang.
Move to Caojiazhuang, these are all useless things."
Looking at the way he gritted his teeth, Cao Shujie believed that what he said was true.
And this kind of thing happened a few years ago when we first started to establish agricultural cooperatives.
At that time, people from both Zhujiazhuang and Taodong Village in the north came to their village committees to ask questions.
They are all real people who can't hide their words.
"Don't mention this matter again..."
Who would have thought that as soon as Cao Shujie had finished speaking, Zhu Hongwei rushed to say, "Director Cao, don't worry, everything is easy to discuss."
He also talked about another piece of gossip he heard from other places: "I heard that our city has a policy that the rural areas around the city have begun to demolish and build centralized communities."
"Next, the villages in the county will do the same thing. If that happens, I think when it's our turn, we might as well take the opportunity to merge Zhujiazhuang into Caojia Community."
This is monkey spirit!
Cao Shujie saw Zhu Hongwei talking enthusiastically, and he was thinking in his heart, is Zhu Hongwei really stupid?
He is definitely not stupid. He did not want to be the village party secretary. He had to concentrate on merging Zhujiazhuang into their village. He also thought about being the deputy party secretary. He has a very long-term vision.
But Cao Shujie has no time to talk to him about such irrelevant topics now: "Lao Zhu, I have something to do today, and I will treat you to a drink another day."
"Okay, I'll invite Director Cao another day." Zhu Hongwei said and left.
Even though Cao Shujie said he was seeing off his guests, he would not stay away.
Besides, he was going to have a good chat with Zhuang Xuejian about the merger into the ‘Caojiazhuang Community’.
He now sees clearly that even though they followed Caojiazhuang to participate in the 'Agricultural Planting Cooperative' and the 'Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative', Zhu Hongwei still realized that only the people of Caojiazhuang were allowed to set up stalls in the children's theme park.
In his heart, there is still a feeling of "closeness and distance", and he also understands Cao Shujie's thoughts.
It's just that he also wants to find a better way out for himself.
As the village party secretary of Zhujiazhuang, he holds the power of the village. The people in the village listen to him. He also gets a monthly salary of more than 2,000 yuan and a pension insurance, which sounds good.
But what era are we in now!
What is the use of a salary of more than 2,000 yuan?
Zhujiazhuang, like Caojiazhuang in the past, has no resources, no projects, and nothing to gain from.
Later, when he saw that Caojiazhuang was establishing an agricultural planting cooperative and a Zhongcheng breeding cooperative, which were very popular, he realized that this was an opportunity. He shamelessly applied for it, and his family gave full support.
Sure enough, he made money.
The first wave of investors in Zhujiazhuang also made money.
Later, the whole village bought shares, and although there were more and less, they all made money.
The more this happened, the more Zhu Hongwei realized that he had to follow Caojiazhuang's footsteps closely.
But Zhujiazhuang and Caojiazhuang are naturally separated by a threshold. If 'Zhu' is replaced with 'Cao', this threshold no longer exists.
When the time comes, everyone will be prosperous and everyone will suffer losses. He feels that this is worth a gamble.
No matter how bad things are, we are still better off than we were a few years ago.
With this thought in his mind, Zhu Hongwei's desire to promote this matter became even stronger.
But Cao Shujie refused to let go.
Zhu Hongwei thought about taking Zhuang Xuejian and going to town to talk to Liu Furong and Luo Ningyou about their ideas. If the next wave of policies to build a large community really came to their side, it would be considered an ambush in advance.
We only start preparations when the provincial affairs are at hand, and 80% of them will not be accomplished by then.
