When the boats returned at night, several boats went together. The lights of the batteries were bright and dazzling, which was a kind of care. The boss of the boat had a weathered face and looked old. When asked about his age, he had to call Professor Zheng "old brother".
It takes three or four hours to sail to Nantou Township at night. When talking about "Shengguang Machinery", the old boat boss was filled with emotion, "The young man who started the factory is really incredible. He has lost several dollars in just over a month."
The machine repair shop in 2008 was saved.”
Professor Zheng listened quietly and was not anxious at all.
"In the past, when we farmed in the countryside, we would only grow some rice and pay it to the public, and we could not make much money every year. Now we know that we have to find ways to do side jobs, raising chickens, ducks, and pigs. Even growing vegetables is better than growing grains.
Some people in the village were worried that if we didn't grow rice, we wouldn't be able to complete the task of collecting grain. But 'Shengguang Machinery' went to more than a dozen towns and villages in the county, collected more than 20 scrapped tractors, and repaired them all in half a month. They are now
They all go to other counties to collect waste.
With these tractors, I don’t know how much manpower has been saved. Now people in the countryside feel that they were too stupid in the past, so why didn’t they make good use of those tractors? Why has no one ever thought about repairing them?”
Hearing this, it seemed that a genius really came to break the situation. Professor Zheng couldn't help but ask: "Who owns these tractors now? Who can afford to buy more than 20 tractors?"
The boss of the ship laughed loudly, "No one bought it. They were all led by Shengguang Machinery, and the repaired tractors were rented to the village. The village then arranged manpower for each village to plow the land, sow, harvest, and transport. It can last half a month in one day.
of life.
This will save trouble for the countryside, save trouble for the village, and save trouble for the farmers. But someone has to come out and pay for it first. There were no such fools in the past, but now this fool has appeared.
But ‘Shengguang Machinery’ didn’t spend much money, after all, those tractors are broken. They mostly got them at scrap prices.”
Speaking of which, the boss of the ship was a little stuck. It seems that this matter is not that simple. If the tractor was easy to repair, it would have been repaired long ago. After all, one costs several thousand, so it is impossible to scrap it easily.
Professor Zheng didn't notice this detail and just exclaimed: "This rural enterprise is very powerful." After thinking about it, he could only use 'powerful' to describe this feat of using his own money to benefit others. He would not do it in other companies.
This kind of thing takes up a lot of working capital.
Little did they know that Zhou Qingfeng was now worried about protecting the GDP of Nantou Township.
The boss of the ship also nodded proudly and said with a grin: "Many of us run ships for water transportation, and the 12-horsepower diesel engine is also rented from 'Shengguang Machinery'.
Not only do they rent tractors and diesel engines, they also rent water pumps, motors, transformers, etc. It is said that there are a lot of things in the factory's accounts, and they have actually paid tens of thousands of yuan."
Professor Zheng was startled when he heard "tens of thousands" and quickly asked in a low voice: "Personally, did you put it in?"
The boss of the ship nodded and said in a deep voice: "That boy is rich and capable."
"Where did he get the money?"
"I heard that he made money from smuggling business. He opened a small shop in the countryside and sold a lot of imported goods not long ago. I heard that he made a lot of money before he could throw it into the machine repair shop to burn it. It's strange to say that.
Even if it’s easy for him to make money, why would he waste it so much?”
No one understood this issue. The boss of the ship could only make wild guesses, but he also talked about something that 'Shengguang Machinery' did in private, "That factory not only rents out equipment, but also secretly lends money."
What......?
"Loan sharking?" Professor Zheng was quite shocked by this.
The ship boss shook his head, "There were only about twenty people in that guy's factory. At the beginning of this month, he suddenly invited a few retired accountants from the rural postal savings office to cooperate on some small loans.
At first, everyone thought he was going to make usury loans, but when the news came out, they said that the interest rate was not higher than that of savings bank loans, but that the loan conditions were lowered. However, the loans were not very large, mostly around 510, and not much more.
Give."
This is even more incomprehensible. Zhou Qingfeng is simply a kind man for doing this!
It is extremely difficult to get a loan in rural areas. Ordinary farmers are very poor and have nothing to mortgage. Some people have nothing to offer, which is really no exaggeration. However, rural development urgently needs some small loans, otherwise a small amount of loans is
An accident can destroy a family.
A minor illness, an accident, the failure to buy pesticides and fertilizers, the failure of agricultural machinery to start working in time - city people are already thinking about upgrading their consumption, and few people see that life in rural areas is still extremely humble.
In order to improve the consumption power of farmers and to significantly increase GDP, Zhou Qingfeng resolutely gave up his hard-earned money to others to spend. Making money with his left hand and spending money with his right hand, just to have fun in the middle, not to mention how heartbroken he was.
.
But money can still be earned, and the task of protecting GDP is not completed, and life is lost. Zhou Qingfeng even used his factory to mortgage the Nantou Township Savings Bank and borrowed 30,000 yuan to provide farmers in the township with business capital. He
Instead of making money, you lose money.
It's just that everyone knows that Zhou Qingfeng's smuggling business is very good, and the rural savings bank is eager to lend him more money. After all, the bank also has to complete the loan task. It is safer to lend to others than to him.
"Then what will happen if others don't repay their debts?" Professor Zheng heard that it was not a loan shark, and his opinion of Zhou Qingfeng greatly improved. Instead, he was worried that this 'good-hearted man' would not be ruined.
The boss of the ship laughed again, "The loan from the 'Shengguang' factory is really stupid. It doesn't give you money directly, it just asks you what you need.
If you want medical treatment, the money goes to the township health center. If you want to buy pesticides and fertilizers, the money also goes to the county agricultural supplies company. If you want to rent agricultural machinery, the money will be directly recorded in the account of the "Shengguang" factory.
If you want to gamble with money, don't expect it.
Another requirement for a loan is that only families with children studying in rural primary schools are eligible. In the past half month, there have been a lot more children in rural primary schools. Because the tuition fees for children's studies can also be borrowed, and interest is waived."
Professor Zheng slapped his thigh fiercely upon hearing this, "This is a good thing!"
More than just a good thing? He is simply a saint descended from heaven!
Qingfeng's ideological consciousness is too high this week. He is not afraid of hardship or tiredness. He serves the people wholeheartedly and saves the suffering and is so kind and compassionate that he can't compare to Guanyin Bodhisattva. Everyone else benefits, but he is the only one who has to bear a huge debt.
Professor Zheng rubbed his hands together excitedly, wishing he could immediately see this young man who had changed the situation at the grassroots level. Even the two students following him were extremely shocked. They never expected that such a person would exist in today's society that is eager for quick success and instant benefits.
The boat sailed at night and after more than three hours, it docked at the small pier in Nantou Township. It was dark on the pier, and we could only find our way by the lights of fishing boats. Professor Zheng wanted to stay at the township guesthouse for one night, so he walked onto the street behind the pier.
I saw that the entire neighborhood was dark, with only lights coming on in the distance and the faint sound of machinery.
Professor Zheng said excitedly: "That must be the Shengguang Factory. The ship boss said that they are the only ones in the township who work in three shifts. Come on, let's not rush to find a place to live. Let's do a night visit."
