Xu Erlong turned around and went to ask about the gunpowder factory site.
It would be best if we could seize that site. After all, it is a ready-made factory. Although it is a bit dilapidated, it can be put to good use if it is repaired and renovated.
Sister Zheng introduced Xu Erlong to the person in charge of the Civil Affairs Bureau. He was responsible for handling the gunpowder factory site.
The other party's surname was Chen, and his attitude was a little impatient. It was obvious that he didn't pay attention to buyers like Xu Erlong at all, and felt that the other party was just asking questions for fun.
In terms of price, they are also extremely tough, saying that the gunpowder factory has a huge territory, not to mention the price is less than 100,000.
He also said that if it were not for the location, if it had been left in the lower half of the city, another factory would have taken over the site.
This first negotiation did not achieve good results.
Xu Erlong could only plan to talk about it some other time. Negotiations in this business field must of course go on and on, and it is impossible to settle the matter in just one sentence.
Even if you set up a small stall to sell small groceries, you still have to negotiate the price and repay the money, let alone such a big factory.
The next day, Xu Erlong rushed to find Principal Shi again.
He also had to ask how the sales of the book "Teaching You Step-by-Step to Admission to College" were doing during this period.
Principal Shi was beaming with joy. The popularity of "Teaching You Step by Step to Admission to College" was beyond his imagination.
At first, printing 100,000 copies felt too radical, but now, the tenth 100,000 copies are about to be printed.
In short, basically, it can be regarded as a sales volume of millions.
Xu Erlong had dinner at Principal Shi's house in the evening.
The two of them were sitting at Principal Shi's home eating, and Principal Shi was talking about the sales volume during this period.
Judging from the school's financial statistics, the profit from the sales of one million copies was almost 500,000 yuan. After splitting it half and half with the school as agreed, Xu Erlong probably had an income of 250,000 yuan.
Mrs. Shi came over with a plate of scrambled eggs and said to Xu Erlong: "Erlong, please help me persuade him. He is still unwilling to be transferred to the Education Committee."
"Oh?" Xu Erlong was surprised. Principal Shi is going to be transferred?
Apparently this year, Yun Zhong High School passed the college entrance examination and produced such a set of teaching aids, which attracted the attention of the superiors, and then they thought of transferring him.
Principal Shi glared at Mrs. Shi, obviously dissatisfied with her random interruption: "Why do you need to transfer the Education Committee? I have finally managed to get some teaching materials and earned some funds, which can improve the school's situation. Now that I am transferred, all of this will be in vain."
Already?"
It was in order to improve the various conditions of Yunzhong School that Principal Shi bent down and agreed to create some teaching aid materials.
If you just work it out and transfer it, your hard work will not be in vain.
At least here, he is the head of a school and has the most power. He has the final say on how the school is run.
"Principal Shi, it is certainly a good thing to be transferred to the Education Committee as director." Xu Erlong really agreed with Principal Shi's transfer to the Education Committee.
"I can't bear to leave Yunji Middle School." Principal Shi sighed: "I have been a teacher for so many years, and now I am promoted to the principal. Seeing that this dilapidated Yunji Middle School is slowly changing, I am confident that I can turn Yunji Middle School into a good school.
Build it better. Look, I have already found a car and brought the coal slag here, and I am going to pave the playground in two days. I was asked to adjust it, and all of this was abandoned halfway."
He continued: "We have already transferred a teacher Yu, and the key teachers of Yunji School have been transferred to the normal school in the county. If I leave, won't Yunji School be over? I don't want it to be a flash in the pan.
"
This is where he is struggling.
"It seems like no one in this world can live without you." Mrs. Shi said with disdain: "Without you, the earth will continue to rotate. Maybe you will be transferred from Yunji High School and transferred to someone with more ability.
Principal, this school is better than when you were in charge."
Principal Shi laughed at himself, as if he had thought about it: "You are right, maybe the next principal will be a capable person, and this school can be managed better than me."
This matter has been settled like this. If the superiors want to make adjustments, Principal Shi can't actually change anything. Of course, he must obey.
The next day, Xu Erlong invited everyone to dinner.
In addition to Sister Zheng, the people invited were also several people from the civil affairs department, all of whom were related to each other.
Sister Zheng knew very well that she still wanted to buy the gunpowder factory, so she actively helped to make connections.
Even her relatives were brought together.
After drinking for a few times, everyone became familiar with each other, and the topic gradually broadened to how to sell the gunpowder factory.
"Actually, this is not what we want to sell. After all, it has always been an orphanage to provide care for the lonely elderly people."
"But now, due to the reasons in Laoshan, too many people have sacrificed their lives, and there are too many people who have been injured and returned from the army. They need resettlement and rescue. Our Civil Affairs Bureau has to solve these problems."
The payment of pensions and solving the living difficulties of the martyrs' families require a huge amount of money.
This topic is becoming increasingly heavy.
It is precisely because of these lovely people who fight bravely on the front lines that they can live a stable life in the rear.
In the 1980s, there was not only abundant wealth but also smoke and gunfire.
Xu Erlong still remembers how the song "Blood-stained Style" was so tear-jerking.
Maybe I say goodbye and will never come back. Do you understand? Do you understand?
Maybe I will fall down and never get up again. Do you still have to look forward to me forever?
If so, don't be sad, the flag of the Republic has our blood-stained style...
After Xu Erlong returned home, he was still thinking about this matter.
Now, the pension for a martyr is only five hundred yuan.
It wasn't until the movie "Wreaths Under the Mountain" was released that everyone realized that the pension was so low, and the standard was raised from five hundred yuan to two thousand yuan.
However, even two thousand yuan, how many problems can be solved?
For the parents who have lost their sons, for the wives who have lost their husbands, and for the children who have lost their fathers, how long can these two thousand yuan last?
If you can find a job, you can still have income.
If there is no job and you only rely on this little money, in a few years the price will rise and the value will depreciate rapidly.
Xu Erlong felt that he had to do something.
After thinking about it for a night, Xu Erlong once again approached the Civil Affairs Bureau and Director Chen of the Civil Affairs Bureau to talk about the gunpowder factory deal.
The price will definitely require concessions from the Civil Affairs Bureau.
However, Xu Erlong added another condition. He wanted this gunpowder factory because he planned to make leather shoes himself. He was willing to teach this craft to these retired disabled soldiers or family members of military martyrs free of charge, so that they could have skills, and in the future, they would also
Can find a career.
The implication is that if he really buys this gunpowder factory, he can solve part of the employment problem.
