County Magistrate Ji and Secretary Sun looked at each other and asked in disbelief.
"Do you want to take on this debt?"
Cao Weidong thought for a while and asked again.
"That's what I meant."
"I wonder how much the county owes the brick kiln factory in total?"
Secretary Sun frowned and said.
"Originally, there were more than a hundred thousand. Over the years, the county has gradually repaid some, and there is probably more than 80,000 left... Of course, the specific amount will only be known after the cadres and comrades in charge of finance check the accounts."
No wonder Factory Director Fang brings his employees to the county party committee compound every now and then to stay guard.
In the 1950s and 1960s, this was a huge sum of money.
However, Cao Weidong breathed a sigh of relief.
I still have a lot of supplies stored in my personal space.
And they are all food and medicines that are in short supply.
As long as you can find a safe and secretive channel to sell it, even if it is only a small part, you can make hundreds of thousands of dollars.
In the past, he worked alone and had no interest in money, but now that he has set up a factory, the expenses will inevitably be high, so it is better to convert some materials into cash.
Therefore, compared with the capital he has in hand, a mere 80,000 yuan is really not a particularly big burden.
Thinking like this, Cao Weidong said firmly: "Then there is no problem, I am willing to take on this debt."
】
County Magistrate Ji felt that Cao Weidong wanted to help him.
My heart is touched.
But he still advised with uneasiness.
"Comrade Cao Weidong, this debt belongs to the county. I can't let you pay it back. Moreover, your biogas plant has just been established. It's a time when you need to spend money, so you can't spend it indiscriminately."
"Besides, as a director of a state-owned enterprise, the first thing you have to learn is to spend money that should be spent and money that shouldn't be spent. Even if you have money, don't spend it. Remember to distinguish between public and private."
The county allocated a total of 10,000 yuan to Cao Weidong's biogas plant.
He guessed that Cao Weidong might have brought some himself, so he thought he could help the county committee pay off its foreign debt.
Although it is well intentioned.
But we still have to make a distinction between public and private.
Therefore, County Magistrate Ji made a few remarks.
Cao Weidong naturally understood the meaning of County Magistrate Ji's words and said with a smile: "County Magistrate Ji, don't worry, all this money belongs to the biogas plant, and since I want to take over this debt, I must have a way to pay it off." p>
"In addition, I am not taking on this debt for free. I also have my own conditions."
County Magistrate Ji was stunned, and looked at Cao Weidong angrily and funny.
But he still straightened his body and asked: "Conditions? Just tell me, what conditions do you want to put forward?"
Cao Weidong said directly: "I want the management rights of the county's docks and roads."
County Magistrate Ji was confused.
Why didn’t he know that there were docks and roads in the county?
Oh, by the way, the highway will be available soon.
It was built under the leadership of Cao Weidong.
But what about the docks?
He looked at Cao Weidong doubtfully.
Cao Weidong took out an old map of the county.
He pointed to the river above and said.
"This waterway is open."
"If we build a terminal here and cooperate with the surrounding highway and national highway systems, we can quickly revitalize the county's transportation system."
"At that time, our goods can be shipped out at a cheaper price, and goods from outside can also come in, and the exchange of goods can definitely stimulate the economic growth of the county."
County Magistrate Ji took out a cigarette, lit it, took two puffs, and sighed: "I understand what you are talking about, but the county does not have the ability to build a dock."
Before liberation, the little Japs from Tiaobenji built a dock by the river, but it was blown up during the war, leaving only a pile of wreckage.
After liberation, due to the problems left by some leading cadres, the county's economy was in big trouble, and it was almost too poor to be blamed.
Finally, when County Magistrate Ji took office, he was full of ambitions, but he encountered a drought again.
He is really powerless.
Cao Weidong was on hand to make suggestions.
"I took over the county's foreign debt and allowed the county committee to carry out the battle with ease. This should be regarded as a political achievement. Wouldn't the superiors give me some support?"
"Besides, repairing the wharf will benefit everyone in the county. If several large state-owned enterprises pool their money, a wharf can be built."
County Magistrate Ji slapped his forehead.
Yes, how could he forget this?
If the county has no debt burden, he can openly apply to the higher-level leadership department to allocate a sum of money to build a dock.
In addition, once the old debt is released, you can also borrow a new debt from the company.
County Magistrate Ji looked at Cao Weidong.
There is approval in the eyes.
This is really a lucky star.
Within a few days of arriving, I helped him solve the road problem and foreign debt problem.
Now the plan to build a wharf has also been given.
County Magistrate Ji nodded and said: "Yes, your plan is feasible, and the management rights can be given to you, as long as it is not excessive."
Cao Weidong smiled and said: "Don't worry, I just want to do some small business at the dock and intersection to maintain revenue."
In the 1960s, there was no awareness of road management rights, let alone toll stations and tolls.
In fact, if you do this at this time, you will be criticized.
What Cao Weidong wants to do is to take advantage of the geographical advantage and target the transportation masters to operate small commodities, souvenir shops, and even restaurants, tea shops, etc.
Transport drivers are one of the eight major players in this era.
My pocket is very rich.
County Magistrate Ji felt relieved after hearing this.
He pondered for a while and then said: "As for the time limit of the management right, I will give you eight years, with a salary of 10,000 yuan a year."
Cao Weidong waved his hand and said proactively: "It doesn't take so long. Just give me three years. After three years, I am willing to transfer the management rights and related industries to the county unconditionally."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure!"
Cao Weidong said with certainty.
Therefore, it is useless no matter how long the management right is requested.
Might as well seize the moment.
In addition, if he takes the initiative to say this, he can also gain the favor of County Magistrate Ji.
Sure enough, as soon as I finished speaking, the system prompts popped up.
[Ding, County Magistrate Ji’s favorability is 30, shopping point is 100...]
[Ding, County Magistrate Ji’s favorability is 20, shopping point is 80...]
[Ding, Secretary Sun’s favorability is 30, shopping point is 100...]
[Ding, Secretary Sun’s favorability is 20, shopping point is 80...]
County Magistrate Ji and Secretary Sun looked at each other.
Then they all looked at Cao Weidong.
There is trust and appreciation in his eyes.
If in the past, they regarded Cao Weidong as a special talent, they only treated him specially in official business.
So now.
They really regard Cao Weidong as one of their own.
This is a young man with noble moral character and lofty ideals, a revolutionary, and their true comrade.
County Magistrate Ji leaned back on his chair, called his secretary over, and said openly.
"Go and call Lao Fang over, tell him to stop making trouble, and tell him that the county will settle the debt with him today."
Cao Weidong stood aside with a smile on his lips.
When Fang Yangqian knew that she had become his creditor, he would definitely shed tears of joy, right?
