"Sister-in-law Lu, my third uncle just came to me and told me that he and the village elders had calculated the results of the election of the new village chief. I had the most votes and no one opposed me becoming the village chief. I am the new village chief."
"I have to ask for leave and go to my third uncle's house right away to have a meeting with the village elders. My third uncle said that the village elders are waiting for me. They are busy with the meeting and have to work in the fields.
Didn’t you say yesterday that you wanted me to be your guarantor, borrow some money from the villagers and pay it in advance, then buy a batch of jars, pots and other things to hold mountain goods, and then pay them back when the big boss gives you the money?
Come on, you can come with me now. There will be so many people here later that you don’t need to go out of your way to find someone to be a witness."
Zhu Qiangguo's third uncle is the village party secretary of Bone Village. As soon as Ye Qingqing heard Zhu Qiangguo's words, he immediately went back to his room, picked up paper and pen, and followed Zhu Qiangguo.
Go to the village party secretary's house to borrow money from the villagers.
Ye Qingqing's first business venture in his previous life was to open a bamboo shoot factory in a village to collect bamboo shoots and make bamboo shoot processing business.
At that time, Ye Qingqing was young and had no entrepreneurial experience. He only knew that he was immersed in work. He did not know that profits are moving and human nature cannot stand the test of profits. As a result, he had just succeeded in starting a business and the bamboo shoots factory was profitable. When others saw the profits made by the bamboo shoots factory, they were confused.
They all came to rob and cause trouble.
Ye Qingqing was new to the society at that time. He was single and weak, and did not know how to be prepared for danger in times of peace. Ye Qingqing was unprepared when others came to rob the factory and business and cause trouble. That time, Ye Qingqing not only lost the bamboo shoot factory, but also lost all his capital and went into debt.
Big money.
From then on, before starting a business, Ye Qingqing would first think about how to protect the results of the business, and then make various preparations to protect the results while starting the business.
On the day you succeed in starting your own business, you should prevent others from easily taking away the fruits of your hard work, destroying all your hard work, being heavily in debt, failing in your success, and making a wedding dress for others.
Zhu Qiangguo's family has a very good reputation in Bone Village. Now that Zhu Qiangguo is the village chief, with Zhu Qiangguo as the guarantor, many people are willing to lend some money to Ye Qingqing because of Zhu Qiangguo's face.
From yesterday to this morning, Ye Qingqing spent a total of nearly a thousand yuan to buy mountain goods sold by villagers, showing the villagers the economic strength of the big boss behind Ye Qingqing.
Moreover, the money that Ye Qingqing wanted to borrow was also used to buy various containers for mountain products from the pot-making kiln factory in the next village. It was for business that everyone could see, and nothing else.
In addition, Ye Qingqing also took the initiative to write in the IOU that he would pay the villagers 3 points of interest when repaying the money.
Now in the eyes of the villagers in Bone Village, there is no way Ye Qingqing can repay the money he borrowed.
Moreover, she also offered a high monthly interest of 2 points. Now that the money is deposited in the bank, the county has not offered 2 points of interest on a regular basis for more than a year. Many villagers also fell in love with the high interest rate offered by Ye Qingqing.
Ten yuan, fifty yuan, two hundred, three hundred yuan, Ye Qingqing borrowed various amounts for a period of three months.
Ye Qingqing's pen started to smoke when he wrote the IOU. In the evening, Ye Qingqing and Zhu Qiangguo visited more than 500 households in the village and borrowed money from all the households in the village. They successfully negotiated with more than 280 households.
People borrowed money, and a total of 9,080 yuan was borrowed.
After Ye Qingqing sorted out the borrowed money and the IOU in duplicate belonging to Ye Qingqing, he took 2,000 yuan from the borrowed money as an advance payment and went to the furnace factory in the next village to make an order for 10,000 yuan.
Various containers for carrying mountain goods.
Ye Qingqing negotiated with the owner of the furnace factory to pay the 10,000 yuan in installments. 2,000 yuan will be paid every month starting from the month after delivery until the payment is completed.
By the time Ye Qingqing left the furnace owner's house with the order contract signed with him, it was already dark.
Fortunately, Ye Qingqing and Zhu Qiangguo were well prepared, so they headed towards Bone Village with flashlights.
As they walked, Zhu Qiangguo asked doubtfully: "Sister-in-law Lu, you can obviously pay the full amount, why do you choose to pay only one-fifth of the amount?"
"The owner of the furnace factory just said that if you pay in one lump sum, you can get a 9.5% discount on the price we negotiated, which is a full 500 yuan discount."
Ye Qingqing glanced at the bright stars in the sky and said, "For..."
Just as Ye Qingqing said two words, two torches, one tall and one short, appeared on the corner of the road ahead.
At the same time, Lu Yun's singing was also heard: "The boat pushes away the waves, and the beautiful white tower is reflected on the sea surface, surrounded by green trees and red walls. The boat floats gently in the water..."
As soon as Ye Qingqing heard Lu Yun's voice, he took a flashlight and shined a light on the tall man, and saw that the man was Lu Wen.
Ye Qingqing lived alone in his previous life. He was used to being alone when he went out and also when he came home. Now, for the first time, someone came to pick him up on his way home.
For a moment, Ye Qingqing was in a strange mood. He immediately left his companion Zhu Qiangguo and rushed towards Lu Wen, shouting excitedly: "Lu Wen, Xiaoyun, why are you here?"
Ye Qingqing rushed to Lu Wen in a flash, stretched out his hand with a smile and hit Lu Wen's arm, scolding: "Your body has not fully recovered, and the night is cold and wet. If you don't stay at home and wait for me to come back, you
What are you doing with Xiaoyun out here?"
Looking at Ye Qingqing who was saying blaming words but couldn't hide the happiness in his eyes, Lu Wen raised his hand and touched his nose and said seriously: "Well, Lu Yun heard from Cao Guixiu that the flashlight you took out was used.
The batteries haven't been changed for a long time. Lu Yun was afraid that your flashlight would run out of power halfway and you wouldn't be able to see the road, so he insisted on pestering me to take him to pick you up."
As soon as Lu Wen said this, Lu Yun looked at Ye Qingqing and said: "Sister-in-law, brother is lying to you. Why are you afraid that your battery will die halfway and you can't see the road? It's all made up by him. He just misses you."
.
Just before this turn, he told me that he missed you, but I don't know if you missed him."
"Since you left home, my eldest brother has been at the door to see if you have come home, and then to see if you have come home. He also called me to the village entrance thirteen times to see if you have come back.
It got dark and you hadn't even gone home yet, so he dragged me to pick you up."
"Brother, I won't take the blame for you." As soon as Lu Yun finished speaking, he playfully flicked his tongue at Lu Wen.
Lu Wen really didn't expect that Lu Yun would be so uncooperative with him and actually expose his background in front of an outsider like Zhu Qiangguo. He blushed and looked embarrassed.
While Lu Wen was thinking about how to explain his lie, Ye Qingqing reached out to hold Lu Wen's hand and said, "So that's it! I miss you too."
"You're so cute!"
cute?
What does it mean?
Lu Wen was thinking about the meaning of Ye Qingqing's words. Ye Qingqing hugged Lu Wen's arm happily and continued to walk forward. As he walked, he said happily: "But Lu Wen, I'm very happy that you came to pick me up."
"This is the first time I've been picked up by someone on the way home. It feels really good."
"Let me tell you, before I came home in the middle of the night and walked alone at night, no one ever picked me up. I was the only one walking on the road. You are so kind, you actually took the initiative to pick me up."
