Cao Weidong smiled and changed his sitting position to make himself more comfortable on the bullock cart.
"I can show you a clear way to make money."
Wei Hongxing suddenly switched out of Xianglin's wife's mode.
"What can I do? Tell me quickly."
He sat down next to Cao Weidong. The cart was unbalanced and almost did not overturn.
Cao Weidong drove Wei Hongxing back and signaled him to calm down: "It's okay to let me come up with ideas, but I have conditions."
"What conditions?"
"You have to introduce me to a few brigade cadres and production brigade to support me. I want to discuss cooperation with them."
Talk about cooperation?
Wei Hongxing didn't react for a moment, but then he understood it after thinking about it.
Teacher Cao also wants to buy wild game.
"Teacher Cao, does your factory have so many acquisition targets?"
Wei Hongxing didn’t believe it for the first time.
Winter is coming soon, which is a good time for hunting. It is conservatively estimated that the entire production team of the entire camp should be able to provide thousands of kilograms of prey.
Cao Weidong shook his head.
"You don't need to worry about my purchasing targets, as long as you can introduce me to them."
Game production is too random. In order to complete the astronomical procurement targets as soon as possible and get a house as soon as possible, we must open up several more game purchase channels.
Moreover, this is a one-time deal. After spring, more buyers will be eyeing game as an unplanned material.
Wei Hongxing fell into deep thought: "The backing production team..."
He scratched his head and thought for a long time. When the ox cart was about to arrive at the Shiwei Township production team, he finally decided on two candidates.
They are all the production brigade of Huangqiao Commune.
One is the brigade secretary of Pingyang Production Brigade, named Tian Yushi.
The other is the captain of the Hongqi Production Team, named Yin Gen.
Cao Weidong wrote down the names and asked casually: "How is your relationship with them?"
Wei Hongxing said: "I know Captain Yin quite well. My father used to be a soldier, and they were both in the same trench. I'm not very familiar with Secretary Tian, but Accountant Liang from our village is familiar with him."
Otherwise, he would have dealt with Liang Guanghe long ago.
Of course, Wei Hongxing did not say this.
Cao Weidong understands.
In fact, the village pays more attention to human relations.
"Okay, let's go back and pick up Accountant Liang, and then go directly to the Hongqi Production Brigade."
Cao Weidong made the decision.
"That..."
Wei Hongxing rubbed his hands and said with some embarrassment: "Teacher Cao, what about the way you promised me to make money?"
Cao Wei Dongguan'er: "Actually, you already saw it just now."
"Did I see it?"
Wei Hongxing didn't turn around and muttered to himself: "What did I see? Food? Wine? Cigarettes? Beautiful women..."
Seeing the cute look on his face, Cao Weidong didn't show off and said directly.
"The way to make money I'm talking about is the backlog of farm tools in the warehouse. You can buy the farm tools on credit and sell them to other production teams at a high price. If you do this over and over again, won't you make money?"
Wei Hongxing was a little confused.
When your upper lip touches your lower lip, are you circling me?
The crux of the problem is that the batch of agricultural products has quality problems and cannot be sold at a high price.
But he knew that Cao Weidong never spoke empty words, so he humbly asked for advice.
Looking at Wei Hongxing's eyes full of curiosity, Cao Weidong smiled and said: "I have seen that batch of steel for forging farm tools. Although it is not good steel, it will not be a problem after a few years."
"The reason why their performance is so poor is because the quenching process is not done well."
The so-called quenching is actually one of the heat treatment processes, with the purpose of improving material properties.
The steel in the warehouse is soft and brittle, which may be due to insufficient quenching. If you can find a skilled blacksmith to perform secondary quenching, its performance can definitely be improved.
Hearing Cao Weidong's explanation, Wei Hongxing was a little moved.
This is really a way to make money.
But he had some difficulties.
He also knows the situation of his own production team. The conditions are not as good as those of the production brigade, and the production brigade cannot handle it well, let alone them.
"This question is also very simple."
In order to make Wei Hongxing work hard for him, he decided to help others to the end, and also gave Wei Hongxing a trick.
"Catch a lot of skilled masters in Sijiu City. I'll help you find one. You can pay them on a daily basis, and then arrange for bright-minded members to learn from them, write down the quenching methods, and follow them later.
Just handle it yourself."
This is actually the most basic technical school, which aims at training skills and is simple and crude.
If Wei Hongxing can seize the opportunity, maybe he can train some skilled workers in forging.
One more thing to say.
In the 1950s and 1960s, technical secondary schools and technical schools were very popular, and graduates often became cadres or technical backbones.
However, as time has changed, technical secondary schools and technical schools have become the most unpopular academic qualifications in society.
Cao Weidong withdrew his thoughts.
Looking at the Shiwei Township production team getting closer and closer, he pushed Wei Hongxing, who was immersed in beautiful fantasy
"Go and call Accountant Liang over. Let's go to the Hongqi Production Brigade now and try to finish both production brigades in the evening."
.......
The Hongqi Production Brigade is a very big village, and there is no production team below. The villagers are relatively concentrated.
In the brigade office, Cao Weidong met Yin Gen.
Yin Gen is a thin old man with some gray hair. He looks about the same age as the old captain of the Daqi production brigade. He wears a clean starched military uniform and a military green cotton hat. He looks upright and energetic.
Cao Weidong could tell at a glance that this was an old soldier who had honor engraved in his bones.
He switched his title to mercenary, saluted first, and then said: "Hello, Captain Yin, I am Cao Weidong, the buyer of the Red Star Rolling Mill."
Yin Gen's first impression of Cao Weidong was very good, and with Wei Hongxing as a guide, his favorable impression became even higher. He smiled and let Cao Weidong into the office, motioned for him to sit down, and handed him a cigarette.
"Captain Yin, try my smoke."
Cao Weidong thought for a moment, then opened Wanjie Mall and bought a pack of Pegasus cigarettes, and pretended to take them out of his marching bag.
"Hey, is it still a Pegasus?"
Yin Gen's eyes lit up.
Pegasus brand cigarettes were born during the Anti-Japanese War and were the favorite of soldiers at that time. Yin Gen was a veteran of the Red Army, so naturally he also loved to smoke "Pegasus".
It's a pity that I smoked less after I was discharged from the army.
He couldn't wait to light one.
Still a familiar smell.
Full of memories came to mind, and Yin Gen's eyes became a little moist.
Seeing that the opportunity was almost there, Cao Weidong exchanged a few words and got to the point.
"We are here to discuss cooperation. At present, our steel rolling mill has reached an agreement with the two production brigades of Daying and Pingyang to purchase game. I wonder if you are interested."
Wei Hongxing and Liang Guanghe were both stunned.
When did Mr. Cao reach a cooperation agreement with Pingyang Production Team?
