Early the next morning, Deng Youliang arranged for a jeep to take Gao Fan to Yanzhou, and Gao Fan did not refuse.
After coming out of the fertilizer plant, Gao Fan asked the driver to drive the car to the agreed place, picked up Chen Xingquan, and then drove to Nanhao Town in Yanzhou.
From Renqiao to Yanzhou, there is still a passable asphalt road. From Yanzhou County to Nanhao Town, the road turns into a dirt road with potholes and puddles in many places, making it extremely difficult for the car to drive.
When Chen Xingquan got in the car, he handed the driver two boxes of cigarettes, which greatly aroused the driver's enthusiasm. Although the road conditions were very bad, the driver did not complain. He chatted happily with the two of them all the way and drove the car to the destination.
In front of a quite old house, Chen Xingquan asked the driver to stop the car. After everyone got out of the car, Chen Xingquan casually called to a half-year-old child who ran to watch the excitement, handed him a dime, and said:
"Da Mao, just watch here and don't let anyone touch the car. You can use this dime to buy candies."
The child agreed and went to the jeep. Chen Xingquan pointed to the house and said to Gao Fan and the driver:
"This is my house. The house is a bit dilapidated, so don't laugh at me. I'm looking for someone to buy building materials. I plan to build a new house by the end of the year. It will be built like a four-story house. When you come back by then, it will be exactly the same."
The driver said somewhat sourly: "You farmers are still popular now. You can start your own business and make a fortune casually. Those of us who earn dead wages will never be able to build our own houses in our lifetime."
Chen Xingquan said modestly: "Look at what you said, we all want to be workers. It's easy to do things, we can get paid monthly, and the income is guaranteed during droughts and floods. It's just that we have good policies in the past two years, and we can do some small business and make a little money.
.Maybe the policy will change in a few years, and we will still have to rely on a few acres of land to eat?"
"You guys are not making a small amount of money. When I look at Director Chen, I know that he is a householder worth at least ten thousand yuan." The driver complimented.
When Gao Fan introduced Chen Xingquan to him, he said that Chen Xingquan was the director of a plastics factory, so the driver called him that. Of course, as a local, the driver also knew what these small factories in the countryside were like, so he said he was the director of the factory.
, it is estimated that there are only two employees in the whole factory, one is the factory director himself, and the other is the factory director’s wife.
But it doesn’t cost anything to be sweet, right?
Hearing the sound of the car, Chen Xingquan's parents, wife, younger brothers and sisters all ran out and put up a large formation to welcome Gao Fan. One of Chen Xingquan's younger brothers was very discerning and took the driver elsewhere to rest without waiting for his brother's instructions.
, Chen Xingquan led Gao Fan into the main room and offered him a seat at the top.
The house of Chen Xingquan's house is old enough, but it is quite large, especially the main room, which can be used as a conference room. There is a case in the middle with ancestral tablets on both sides of the case.
There is a Taishi chair, which looks quite new. It was probably added after the family made some money in the past two years.
The seat of the grand master's chair is naturally the top seat in the room. Gao Fan said a few polite words and finally sat down in the seat of the guest of honor. Chen Linfa sat in the host's seat to accompany him, Chen Xingquan, Ke Shuilong and the other two and a half adults.
The boys each found a chair and sat at the bottom.
Chen Xingquan had just introduced to Gao Fan that the two and a half-year-old boys were his younger brothers. Gao Fan couldn't remember exactly how many younger brothers they were. Anyway, Lao Chen must have been born as a superborn. Even according to the past policy,
It must be considered a super life.
Women were not qualified to participate in the conversation. Chen Xingquan's wife came over and poured tea for Gao Fan, and then went into the kitchen to prepare meals.
After everyone exchanged some pleasantries, Gao Fan returned to the topic first. He looked at Chen Xingquan and said in an apologetic tone: "Brother Chen, I'm sorry about something. I made the decision for you without consulting you. Don't blame me.
.”
Chen Xingquan's heart skipped a beat, but he looked indifferent and said, "Look at what you said, do we still need to be so polite between us? Tell me, what is it?"
Gao Fan said: "Didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to open the screen printing shop you opened with Aaron to Renqiao? In the evening, I had dinner with my father's friend, Director Deng of the Renqiao Fertilizer Factory.
At that time, when I mentioned this matter, he said that his child failed the college entrance examination last year, and now he is idle and wants to find something to do, so I took it upon myself to lead you."
"You mean..."
"Director Deng said that he can help you find a place in Renqiao. If you have any troubles, he can help you deal with it. The condition is that his children will be counted as part of the newly opened store. It can be 10% to 20%. He doesn't care."
"How can this be done? We..." Ke Shuilong, who was sitting next to him, blurted out.
Just as he was halfway through his words, he saw his uncle Chen Linfa giving him a stern look. He didn't know what was going on, but he quickly stopped the car and did not dare to continue talking.
Chen Xingquan was stunned for a moment, then immediately put a smile on his face and said, "This is a good thing! Dad, I told Gao Fan yesterday that the store Aaron and I opened in Nanhao, the transportation is too inconvenient.
Many customers are unwilling to come. It would be great if we could drive to Renqiao.
"When I want to open a store in Renqiao, my biggest worry is that I don't have any background. If someone comes to ask for some trouble, we have no way to do it.
"I originally wanted to ask Gao Fan if he could find an acquaintance to help, but before I could say anything, Gao Fan contacted us first. The director of the fertilizer plant is also a well-known figure in the city. He is willing to contact us.
Let's form a partnership, which is what I want more than anything else."
"Yes, yes, if you can find the director of the fertilizer factory to join the partnership, what else can you say? Gao Fan, you just said that director Deng only needs 20% of the share, is that too little?" Chen Linfa asked
.
"Twenty percent is quite a lot." Gao Fan said, "Actually, he doesn't have to do anything, and we usually don't have any trouble. He is just a name. I also have some selfish motives in this matter.
This factory director Deng has a very good relationship with my father. We often drink together. I call him Uncle Deng.
"I also heard that his youngest son is unemployed now, and I wanted to help him, so I told him about it without keeping my mouth shut. Uncle Chen, Brother Chen, if you think it's inappropriate, I will tell him this when I go back.
It’s okay to push the matter away.”
"It's suitable, it's suitable, it's so suitable." Chen Linfa said repeatedly, "Gaofan, how could the things you arranged not be suitable? We are all farmers and have no connections in the city. How can we have such a relationship as Factory Director Deng?
, it’s too late for us to be happy. You helped us connect this line, but you did us a big favor."
"Really? That would be great. I'm worried that I'm young and ignorant and will mess things up."
Gao Fan chuckled and showed a childish smile to Chen Linfa.
