Chapter 123: Boss Cao keeps asking for a guaranteed monthly pass
, recommendation vote)
"Shujie, please come up and say a few words. The voice below is so quiet that I can't hear you clearly." Cao Jiangang's voice came from the external speakers at the scene.
Hearing what he said, the people sitting next to Cao Shujie also asked him to come up and say a few words.
Cao Shujie was not polite, stood up and walked forward, looking at the familiar villagers around him, thinking about the scenes after returning from the capital, Cao Shujie was filled with emotions.
Because he was contracting the mountainous area himself and not opening a new factory, Cao Shujie did not use any extravagant bragging techniques.
After he explained his detailed plan, he also explained what kind of work he would do in the near future and how many people he would need. The wages would still be 35 yuan for 8 hours.
This is what the folks below like to hear most.
Earn more money before the busy farming season, or have a place to earn money after the busy farming season, instead of sitting around at home with nothing to do every day.
Cao Shujie also knew this. He had already planned in his mind that he would sign the contract after the meeting and find someone to level the ground tomorrow to prepare for planting grass.
I'll go to the county later to talk to Chen Xingquan and Xia Changhong. They need to build barbed wire guardrails and automatic water diversion equipment.
Cao Zhenggang also needs to have a chat.
Thinking about it this way, Cao Shujie felt that there were quite a lot of things going on.
In the crowd, Mengmeng looked at Cao Shujie who was speaking in front, and happily said to her mother and grandma: "Mom, look, grandma, look, it's dad."
She is very proud! And very happy!
From the bottom of my heart, I felt that my father was very majestic standing up there.
Cheng Xiaolin felt a little embarrassed. Looking at the kind eyes around her, she put her finger on her lips and said, "Mengmeng, don't shout. Don't disturb daddy."
"Oh!" Mengmeng seemed to understand but still nodded, being honest.
By the time the meeting was over, most people had left one after another, but a dozen or so people had not left and had been waiting in the village committee compound.
Cao Shujie and the people from the village committee signed the contract together, and the money had to be made at the rural commercial bank in town to make an appointment to withdraw it, which could be tomorrow at the soonest.
"Shujie, do your best, I'm optimistic about you." Cao Jiangang patted Cao Shujie on the shoulder and said.
"Uncle, don't worry." Cao Shujie waved his hands around and said, "My new house will be decorated soon. When the time comes, uncles and grandpas will be invited to come over and join in the fun."
To put it bluntly, it means inviting them over for dinner, and this honor must be given.
Cao Zhengyin, the accountant of Caojiacun, asked him with a smile: "Shujie, will you be able to live in your two-story building soon?"
"Grandpa, it will be as soon as the end of the year. We will see the situation then and move there if appropriate," Cao Shujie said.
Cao Zhengyin nodded: "That's right. The decoration smells very bad and is not good for children. It needs to be ventilated and aired."
Several people started chatting about Cao Shujie's house. Village director Gao Weimin didn't seem very interested. He said, "Secretary Cao, I have something to do at home. You guys can chat while I go back first."
"Okay, for the sake of the people, there will be a meeting in the town in two days, let's go there together." Cao Jiangang said.
Gao Weimin nodded in agreement.
Cao Shujie still had a lot of things to do. After a few minutes, Cao Shujie left the village committee office and prepared to go home.
Cao Shujie was a little confused when he saw a dozen people standing in the courtyard outside.
Seeing him coming out, Cao Yong in the crowd quickly came over and said, "Shujie, when will you start looking for people to work there?"
"Yes, Shujie, we want to ask, if you are looking for someone to work now, let's sign up first." Cao Shuchao said.
The white-haired Cao Zhenglin also asked: "Shujie, can you look at me?"
His wrinkled face was still a little worried.
These people all have an urgent need for money. Even if it only costs 35 yuan for 8 hours a day, they don't mind it. They stay here and wait for Cao Shujie to come out. They don't feel at ease without asking a question.
"Grandpa Zheng Lin, Brother Chao, and Uncle Yong, just come to the mountain with your shovel tomorrow morning. I will go there and wait for you in the morning," Cao Shujie said.
With Cao Shujie's words, they felt relieved and went home to prepare.
Cao Jianhua never left, he was waiting at the door.
Seeing that there was no one else around Cao Shujie, he came over and said, "Shujie, are you busy now?"
Cao Shujie was surprised when he saw Cao Jianhua.
In just a short time, it was as if he had changed into a different person.
Cao Shujie could see the fatigue deep in his eyes, the deeper wrinkles on his face, and the white hair on his head at a glance.
"Uncle Hua, you need to rest more." Cao Shujie said with concern.
Hearing what he said, Cao Jianhua shook his head sadly: "I can't sleep!"
"Shujie, you know, I only sleep four or five hours a day now, and sometimes I can't sleep the whole night. If I had known this, I should have listened to your advice." Cao Jianhua said this sincerely,
He does regret it now, but 300,000 yuan has been invested. He has no way of turning back and must move forward.
"Uncle Hua, tell me what's wrong with you." Cao Shujie asked him.
Several members of the village committee just came out of the office. After seeing them, Cao Zhengyin said hello: "Hua, how is your pig farm doing? Can I eat your pork during the Chinese New Year this year?"
"Uncle Yin, it's okay. I have to do it step by step." Cao Jianhua said his final stubbornness: "This year was too rushed. It's hard to say by the end of the year. I will definitely be able to eat pork next year."
"You have to hurry up, don't just keep us waiting." Cao Zhengyin shouted.
Cao Jiangang still wanted to say a few words, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. He, Cao Shujie, and Cao Jianhua nodded to say hello, and then rode his big golden deer home slowly and low-key.
At this time, the village committee compound was completely clean.
"Shujie, I plan to find a bank to borrow money. If you have experience in this area, tell me..."
"Uncle Hua, you must think carefully. If you really want to take out a loan, you won't be able to stop it later. You will have to pay back the money every month. The pressure is not as great as usual." Cao Shujie thought of 'mortgage'.
There are always people who feel that the monthly repayment is not very large and they earn a lot, so they can pay it off just by gritting their teeth. However, after they actually pay it off, they realize how fragile they are and how uncomfortable it would be if something unexpected happened to them.
If the economic downturn leads to a sharp drop in income, or if someone in the family suddenly becomes seriously ill and needs money urgently, it would be fatal.
Cao Jianhua nodded: "I've thought about it, I won't borrow more, maybe 300,000 at most. After I get the money, I will buy piglets and raise them. I will buy part of the feed and take part on credit. There will be barbed wire fences around the rest."
It's okay if you don't do it for the time being.
His tone showed extreme reluctance: "Shujie, you said that I am only one step away from reaching this point!"
Hearing what he said, Cao Shujie knew that he understood, so he said: "Uncle Hua, go to the rural commercial bank in town and find Manager Ma Changrong of the credit office. Just tell me that I introduced you and he can help you get it done."
At this point, Cao Shujie paused for a moment before continuing: "As for the specific amount of money you can get in the end, I can't say that. The main thing is to let the bank and a third-party evaluation agency come over to take a look and conduct an on-site evaluation."
"Do you still need to evaluate?" Cao Jianhua also reacted and asked: "You mean I want to borrow 300,000, but I may not be able to borrow it?"
Cao Shujie nodded: "This requires a comprehensive evaluation. They have to look at your project prospects and repayment ability."
"But Uncle Hua, you still have a supermarket. I don't think the repayment problem is big. The bank will also comprehensively evaluate your ability." Cao Shujie reminded him.
Cao Jianhua held Cao Shujie's hand and said, "Shujie, I have to go to the bank in town now. When I come back, I will ask you to come to my house for a meal."
"Uncle Hua, there's no need. I can't help you either. You should get down to business first." Cao Shujie is not someone who just goes around making a living. If he has this free time, wouldn't it be better to spend more time with his wife and children at home?
After the two separated, Cao Jianhua didn't even go home. He rode his motorcycle parked outside the village committee compound and walked north along the road to inquire about the specific loan situation at a bank in the town.
Cao Shujie strolled back home. As soon as he entered the door, he saw his parents and wife waiting in the yard.
"Shujie, are you done?" Cheng Xiaolin asked him.
Cao Shujie said with a relaxed look: "That's about it. The contract is signed. I have to go to the bank in town to make an appointment to withdraw money tomorrow. I will give the money to the village committee and we will officially start work tomorrow."
Hearing what their son said, Cao Jianguo and Wang Yuelan both breathed a sigh of relief: "Then go quickly."
Cao Shujie reached out to Mengmeng on the ground: "Mengmeng, let daddy hug you."
"I don't!" Mengmeng turned around and walked around behind Cheng Xiaolin. She shouted, "I want to play with the puppy."
Cheng Xiaolin waved her hand: "Shujie, go and get busy. Go early and come back early."
"That's okay." Cao Shujie nodded and said, "I'll go to the bank to finish the work later, and then go to the county to find Chen Xingquan and Xia Changhong."
"You are so busy!" Wang Yuelan listened to her son looking for this and that, and couldn't help but want to say something to him.
Cao Shujie smiled and didn't care. He went back to the house to change his clothes, took the car keys and was about to leave.
Mengmeng called him in the yard: "Dad, I want to buy toys too."
"Okay, I'll buy it for you. What toys do you want?" Cao Shujie asked her.
The little guy thought seriously for a while and then said: "I want an excavator, a big excavator."
Hearing what she said, Cao Shujie burst out laughing.
…
There are two banks in Qingshi Town, one of which is the Postal Bank and the other is the Qingshi Town Branch of Yiling Rural Commercial Bank.
The procedures at the Postal Bank are cumbersome, there are still few people in the class doing banking, and generally no one goes there.
On the contrary, the procedures at Rural Commercial Bank are relatively simple and more down-to-earth.
Across from Ma Changrong's desk in the Rural Commercial Bank's Credit Center, Cao Jianhua has been here for a while.
He and Ma Changrong sat across from each other. He was not prepared in advance, so that he was a little stuttered when he spoke, and he could not explain the specific plan, scale and future development prospects of his project.
Ma Changrong frowned, he was not willing to receive such customers.
Based on his many years of experience, there is a high probability that this kind of customer is a new project launched on a whim, with no scientific management methods at all. It is hard to believe how far an old farmer with a short-sighted vision can go.
"Which village are you from?" Ma Changrong asked him.
After Cao Jianhua came over, he was so nervous that he even forgot to introduce himself. He felt from the bottom of his heart that borrowing money from a bank would be "inferior to others" and he would not be able to stand up straight.
Upon hearing Ma Changrong's inquiry, Cao Jianhua quickly said: "I am from Caojiazhuang..."
"Caojiazhuang?" Ma Changrong pondered for a moment and suddenly asked: "Then do you know Boss Cao Shujie?"
"I know you. It's him who asked me to come here to find you." Cao Jianhua said quickly as if he had found a savior.
"Cao Shujie asked you to come to me?" Ma Changrong always felt that something was wrong.
After thinking for a moment, Ma Changrong said: "You sit down for a while, and I'll go and say something to the counter."
"Hey, Manager Ma, you go and do your work." Cao Jianhua did not doubt that he was there, and a smile appeared on his face for the first time.
He thought that after he said 'Cao Shujie', he was 60% sure of the matter.
Let's say that Ma Changrong came out of the office with his mobile phone and turned to the counter. He left the bank again and called Cao Shujie outside.
Before he could ask, he heard Cao Shujie on the other side say: "Manager Ma, I'll be at the bank in a few minutes. Let's meet and chat if I have anything to do."
"Dudududu..."
Before he said a word, a blind tone came from the phone.
"This Boss Cao!" Ma Changrong shook his head and laughed.
He was not in a hurry to go in, so he waited outside for a few minutes. Not long after, Cao Shujie's LaCrosse with a Beijing license plate drove over and parked next to her.
"Boss Cao, why are you here today?" Ma Changrong was curious.
Cao Shujie said: "I have just signed a contract with the village committee to contract the mountainous land. I came here to make an appointment to collect some money to pay the contract fee. I also have to go to the county to talk to two suppliers about the supply of barbed wire guardrails and automatic irrigation equipment.
"
Listen, what is professional!
Cao Shujie, who is also contracting mountainous areas, talks about everything with good reason and evidence.
But Cao Jianhua, who was sitting inside, not only couldn't say a word, he couldn't even say a smooth word.
The difference is clear at a glance!
"Boss Cao, do you know a man named Cao Jianhua?" Ma Changrong asked him abruptly.
Cao Shujie nodded: "My Uncle Hua, is he here with you?"
"Did you know he came to my place?" Ma Changrong asked him.
Cao Shujie nodded: "Of course I know. Before Uncle Hua came over, he consulted me about the loan process."
"Then what do you think of his project?" Ma Changrong asked him.
Cao Shujie said with a smile: "In the early stage, all the facilities of the pig farm were quite complete, but they were too standard and the basic investment was too high. Before the piglets could be sold, funds were a bit tight."
"But my uncle Hua still has a supermarket at home, so there is no problem with his repayment ability." Cao Shujie specifically mentioned this matter.
Ma Changrong really didn't know, so he asked: "He still opens a supermarket?"
"Yes, it's a comprehensive supermarket opened in our village. It can make thousands of yuan steadily a month, so it's not a big problem." Cao Shujie said.
