Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 474: Spring is bright, let’s have a big fight

The economic torrent is like a flood that bursts its banks and is out of control.

The propaganda slogans of realizing the four modernizations, riding on the spring breeze, seemed to be plastered all over the streets and alleys of Sijiu City overnight.

The young people were humming sweetly.

A sweet life is coming soon.

After careful consideration, Xu Qing decided to advance the progress of opening a meat joint factory.

The grain station earns a small amount of money, and he cannot blind his sight by focusing on the grain station business and neglect the more profitable meat factory business.

Last year, it was difficult for him to open a business. He had no funds to build a factory and it was difficult to collect pigs.

However, after a year of operation and operation, the grain station has saved him a lot of money.

There is absolutely no problem with the funding to open a meat joint factory.

Since buying a motorcycle and a radar watch, Xu Qing has not spent much money.

From December last year to March now, during this period, in addition to paying wages, paying for the grain sent to the country, paying taxes, buying new year's goods, and visiting relatives and friends, I spent a small amount of money.

He deposited all the rest of the money into a savings bank.

Of course, the main ones are wages and payment.

But before New Year's Day, Xu Qing helped Xu Damao dispose of military coats and earned a little more than 180 yuan.

In total, he has saved more than 5000 yuan.

The grain station delivers grain to several branches of the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill every month.

At the end of each quarter, just a few branches can make a lot of money.

Not counting the fact that every time he used his ability to divide the grain shipped by the country, some of it was sold at his own grain station.

Furthermore, he could earn a little more by selling the wheat and corn he harvested in the countryside and Ermazi in the second half of last year and processed them into flour before winter.

Speaking of which, you can only earn a few points more per pound than selling it for the country.

But small profits but quick turnover can make a lot of money, and he can make money in many ways. Last year, Xu Qing's net income was more than 5000 yuan.

It's a hundred times better than being a factory director.

This is without adding the motorcycle and radar watch, two big items!

With fifteen thousand, it was enough for Xu Qing to set up a factory.

Money is valuable these days. In future generations, it may not even be enough to open a shop. But in these days, it is easy to set up a factory as long as you don't do it all, spread the stall too big, and don't squander it. .

Now that we have money, as for the source of the pigs, after the country reformed, every household in the countryside began to raise pigs, sheep, and chickens on their own since last year.

It is not difficult to go to the countryside to collect it.

The weather, the right location, the right people, all came together, and even everything was ready, only the "wind" from the east wind blew over under the changing tide.

Xu Qing couldn't do anything even if he didn't want to.

Set a small goal to earn 10 yuan.

Anyway, pork is more expensive than white flour, costing [-] to [-] cents per pound, so the profit margin is much larger.

Xu Qing has the ability to split the pork into two parts. If the meat joint factory is opened, and the pork is divided into two parts, the money earned will be much more than that of grain.

Therefore, Xu Qing made up his mind. When it was dark at night, he returned to the city from the warehouse in the suburbs, rode his motorcycle straight to the grain station, and then called Er Mazi out.

Er Mazi was following Jinghong and San Huzi's wife in the grain station. Hui Lihua and others were helping people load grain. Seeing Xu Qing coming, he handed the bucket in his hand to Meijuan, clapped his hands, and followed Xu Qing out of the grain station. , while smiling and reaching out to take off the toad glasses Xu Qing was wearing, raised his hand and clasped it on his face, raised his head, and took out the flue:

"Qingzi, do you plan to let me go to the countryside to collect grain tomorrow?"

Xu Qing took the economic cigarette from Er Mazi, shook his head and said:
"Brother Mazi, we won't collect grain anymore. The business at the grain station will be slow for now. The situation has changed drastically. Not long after the Chinese New Year this year, many individual grain stations have opened. With more sellers, if this continues, our business here will no longer be good." After three or four years, I'm afraid it will go downhill.

I plan to open a meat factory. When the meat factory is built, you can go to the warehouse to oversee the grain processing. When the wheat is ripe in the second half of the year, I will ask my second father to harvest it in the countryside. When the time comes, you will be in the warehouse to take care of it. The business of the grain station will be stable. Just live there and hope to make a lot of money by opening a grain station."

Xu Qing paused, lit the cigarette and said, "I never expected that my wife and Xiaoya would take care of the grain station in the future."

When Er Mazi heard what Xu Qing said, he stood at the door of the grain station, his brows furrowed involuntarily, he grabbed his freshly cut hair with his hands, and took a puff of smoke:
"Qingzi, we have a lot of grain stations in the city, but if you want to open a meat factory, it's not easy. Just getting the approval of those messy procedures will take at least a year. I think it's difficult, so I might as well go through it. It’s good to be down-to-earth and open a grain station.”

Xu Qing smiled and said: "It's okay, Brother Mazi, I have my own way. Today I mainly want to tell you that you don't have to go to the countryside. From tomorrow on, you go to the warehouse and take care not to let those workers Smoking and causing trouble in the warehouse.”

Hearing this, Er Mazi nodded and said happily: "It's done, that's no problem. I'll go with you, so you can rest assured."

Xu Qing hummed, avoided the customers who wanted to buy food in the store, and stood at the door of the food station, which was gradually getting dark. After smoking with Er Mazi, he returned to the food station.

This point in the grain station is the busiest time for business.

But Xu Qing hired many people, six of them not counting Jinghong and Xiaoya.

That means busy but not chaotic.

Er Mazi continued to help others load food. Xu Qing sat on the chair in front of the table, picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea by himself, and drank leisurely.

In fact, he was thinking about opening a meat joint factory.

He wanted to continue living comfortably and leisurely for a few more years.

But the wheel of the times keeps urging him to move forward.

The wave of reform is coming in a surging pace, and the economic development will be faster and faster like an electric motor.

He couldn't slow down even if he wanted to.

Failure to keep up with the times will only result in being eliminated.

Ma Jinghong stood at the counter, collecting food stamps and money while telling her sister-in-law how much to give to whom. At the same time, she glanced at her man from the corner of her eye.

She naturally knew about Xu Qing's plan to open a meat factory. She slept on the same bed every night. As a wife, how could she not know her man's thoughts?

But she was a little reluctant in her heart, for fear that her man would be too reckless.

Not just anyone can open a meat factory if they want to.

Not only do you need money, but you also need to take care of everything.

But he didn't dare to say anything. The words rolled around his mouth several times and then he swallowed them all.

She has to support her man!
Although she didn't quite understand what Xu Qing meant, as a wife, she knew better.

You can't hold your own man back.

There are examples in the courtyard.

A few years ago, Yan Bugui persuaded Yan Jiecheng to prepare to go to university for further study.

As a result, Yu Li refused to give in.

Nowadays, Yan Jiecheng is just an ordinary worker.

She didn't want to be like Yu Li and delay her husband's career.

It was around eight o'clock in the evening, after the last person who came to buy food left.

Sanhuzi's wife, Meijuan and Ermazi simply cleaned up and left work.

Xu Qing, his wife Jinghong, his sister Xiaoya, Hui Lihua, Luo Hongjuan, and Li Shuzhen left together after closing the grain station.

These days, Xu Qing doesn't come to the grain station very often, leaving all the business to Jinghong and Xiaoya.

When it was closed at night, Hui Lihua, San Huzi's wife, Er Mazi, and Meijuan accompanied Jinghong and Xiaoya and watched the grain station close and lock together.

But today, Xu Qing came, and Er Mazi and the other three left first.

As for Hui Lihua and Jing Hong, they have been sisters for many years and have been together since they were in the art troupe. They naturally have no time to go home now.The moonlight shone lightly from the night sky, the moonlight was bright and bright, and the wind blew in my face, bringing a slight chill, but not cold at all.

Hui Lihua, Luo Hongjuan, and Li Shuzhen, who had not seen Xu Qing for several days, each said:
"Brother-in-law Xu Qing, what have you been busy with recently? If the grain station doesn't come, I'll let Sister Jinghong take care of it. Aren't you afraid that your business will go bad?"

Xu Qing smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. With you three beauties, Jinghong and my sister here, it's hard to even think about sex."

Luo Hongjuan pursed her lips and said happily: "Xu Qing, don't be so talkative. Lihua and Shuzhen, I, and I are only working here temporarily. We will leave immediately when we find a suitable job."

Xu Qing turned to look at Luo Hongjuan and said, "Don't worry, I plan to open a meat factory this year, and I plan to hand over the grain station to Jing Hong and my sister. If the three of you leave after a while, where can I hire someone?" ,no."

Luo Hongjuan let out a surprised look. Hui Lihua and Li Shuzhen opened their beautiful eyes wide, stopped, pushed their bicycles and stood on the street, looking at Xu Qing in disbelief.

"Brother-in-law Xu Qing, are you serious?"

Li Shuzhen asked in a low voice.

Xu Qing responded: "Really, I'm not kidding."

Hui Lihua, Luo Hongjuan, and Li Shuzhen turned to look at Ma Jinghong.

Ma Jinghong nodded to the three good sisters: "Brother Qing is not teasing you."

Xu Xiaoya echoed, "Yes, my eldest brother really wants to open a meat factory."

Hui Lihua, Luo Hongjuan, and Li Shuzhen realized at the same time that Xu Qing was not teasing them, and fell silent immediately.

When they reached the intersection where they were about to separate, Hui Lihua, who was walking between Luo Hongjuan and Li Shuzhen, pondered for a while and said to Xu Qing:
"You and Sister Jinghong should discuss this matter carefully. The three of us know nothing about it and have no experience in doing business. We lost money on the training course we held last year, so we can only come to work for you and Jinghong. The meat factory is not a trivial matter, so you have to be careful. However, the three of us were joking just now. Before we find a suitable job, we have to rely on you and Sister Jinghong, and Xiuying will come back next month. By then, She probably comes to the grain station too."

Li Shuzhen continued with a smile: "Brother-in-law Xu Qing, be prepared. As soon as Xiuying comes, the five of us sisters will get together. If your grain station business is really messed up, don't blame us."

Xu Qing smiled and waved his hand and said: "Hey, two days ago, Xiuying called our house and said that if she doesn't make money, she will work with you at my grain station. Then you just need to remember to sell the grain and don't forget to collect it." Just money and food stamps.”

Xu Xiaoya looked at her eldest brother with a pretty face and said with a smile: "Brother, is Sister Xiuying really coming to our grain station?"

Xu Qing hummed, and Ma Jinghong stretched out her hand to help her sister-in-law straighten her hair that was blown by the wind, and said: "From tomorrow onwards, it will be just us, Sister Wang and Meijuan at the grain station. Er Mazi won't be here tomorrow. Go to the warehouse."

Xu Xiaoya said "oh" and pushed the bicycle. After Hui Lihua and the other two left first, she waved to her elder brother and sister-in-law before turning around and riding away.

Turn around the morning.

Xu Qing rode his motorcycle to Fangshan in Beihai Park and called Li Guohua and Erniu, and the three of them ate together.

After three glasses of wine, Xu Qing said:
"Guohua, Erniu, buddy, I want to open a meat factory."

Li Guohua was wearing the radar watch Erniu helped him bring back a few days ago on his left hand. He was holding a wine bottle and pouring wine. When he heard Xu Qing's words, he was startled. After pouring the wine, he raised his eyebrows and said:

"Qingzi, the meat factory was previously run by the state and not allowed by individuals. Although it has been re-opened, it will be difficult to open it."

Erniu echoed: "Yes, Qingzi, Guohua is right."

Xu Qing leaned back on his chair, smoking a cigarette, and looked at Erniu, "You work in the Second Commercial Bureau. Do you know what procedures are required to open a meat joint factory?"

Erniu puffed on his cigarette, nodded and said, "I know, even after the change, until now, no one has asked except you."

Xu Qing said nothing and listened to Er Niu.

Erniu continued: "If you want to set up a meat joint factory, the procedures are very complicated. The most important thing is that you have to build the factory first before you can go through the formalities and approval procedures. I can help you contact people here, it's not a big problem.

However, you have to ask Guohua about the location of the factory before building the factory. He is responsible for that, and I don't care. "

Xu Qing turned sideways and looked at Li Guohua.

Li Guohua chuckled, put his left elbow on the table, smoked and said:
"Qingzi, don't look at me. You choose a place first. I'll help you ask if it can be used to build a meat processing plant. Then I'll help you find out if there is any support from the government."

When Xu Qing heard what Li Guohua said, he put out the cigarette butt in his hand, threw it into the white porcelain ashtray, and said slowly:
"Guohua, Erniu, with the words of you two, I know the address of the factory. It's right in front of the warehouse of my grain station. How about it?"

Xu Qing said and looked at Li Guohua.

Li Guohua blinked twice, thought for a moment, and said:

"It doesn't seem to be under the management of the city. I'm going to work in the afternoon. I'll help you ask the soil management office over there to see if it has been designated as industrial land."

Erniu immediately said: "Guohua, there should be one, Qingzi has already built a warehouse there."

Xu Qing raised his glass, followed Li Guohua, put down his glass, and said:
"I asked Sanhuzi about the land where I built the warehouse last year. He said that no food could be grown there. Their township communes never cared about the situation at the soil management office. I didn't know. Anyway, when I rented it, , it’s a contract signed with the commune secretary over there.”

At this time, the waiter from Fangshan came in with two plates of cold dishes and waited for people to walk out of the private room.

Xu Qing, Li Guohua and Er Niu continued to talk about opening a meat joint factory while eating and drinking.

Li Guohua picked up a peanut with chopsticks, threw it into his mouth and said:

"Qingzi, I think you might as well do this. I can't remember which meat joint factory is in our city, but since it was re-opened, the efficiency is the worst among the several meat joint factories in our city. , and have been asking for a capable person to be assigned to them as the factory director to take charge of the work.

The report has been filed several times but has never been approved. How about I ask our unit to issue a letter of introduction for you and you can become the factory director, saving you the trouble and effort of opening the factory yourself. "

Erniu heard Li Guohua's words and thought about it:
"Qingzi, Guohua's idea is not good. Didn't you work as the director of the fifth factory of the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill before? You happen to have experience, so it was quite suitable for you."

Xu Qing decisively refused, "I won't go. It was run by the state, and now it's a mess. There are operational problems. I don't know how big the deficit is. I'll take over. Who knows when I can turn around the profits and losses."

Besides, even if I go, I can only get a dead salary every month. How can I earn more by opening my own factory? "

Li Guohua and Er Niu chuckled, "Qingzi, not long after the opening, you are so focused on making money that you have lost all your dedication."

Xu Qing grinned and said, "It's been 80 years. The country calls for self-reliance. I opened a grain station and set up a factory in response to the country's request. I earned money, but I also paid taxes to the country and supported construction. How could I not have the spirit of dedication?"

Li Guohua and Er Niu got acquainted. Hey, they couldn't stump Xu Qing and burst out laughing.

After a while, the waiter brought in hot dishes and staple food such as steamed buns and flower rolls one after another. Erniu stood up and closed the door of the private room.

Li Guohua grabbed a steamed bun, broke it in half, handed it to Xu Qing and said:
"Qingzi, let's be serious, you want to set up a meat joint factory. From a personal point of view, buddy, He Erniu supports you. However, it is not easy to set up a factory. It costs money to build a factory. After it is built, you will need all kinds of equipment. You have to buy it, and you have to pay for it. In addition, you have to hire people, at least two old pig-killing masters. Everything is an expense, and running around is indispensable. Erniu and I can help you set up the factory. All the procedures and approval documents have been completed, but if the factory is set up and the benefits are not good and the company loses money, it will not be a trivial matter. You and Jinghong have two children, one is in elementary school and the other has not yet attended Yuhong class (pre-school). ), what about life at home?"

Erniu closed the door of the private room, sat back on the chair and said: "Qingzi, just listen to me and Guohua, think more carefully, don't jump in when your head gets hot.

It is right to open the door to reform, and the national policy is good, but we have to do it according to our own circumstances, right? "

Hearing this, Xu Qing remained silent, lit another half-smoked cigarette, flicked it in the ashtray, and looked at the two good buddies, feeling an indescribable warmth flow in his heart.

Brothers were getting along like this, so what else could they say? He raised a glass and walked away with Li Guohua and Er Niu, and then said:
"Guohua, Erniu, I understand what you two mean, but since I want to open a meat joint factory, I have thought about it clearly before and after. I will definitely not lose money if I open it. You two can rest assured about this." Here, when the meat joint factory is set up, I will give you two half a pig each."

When Xu Qing said this, Li Guohua and Er Niu said nothing.

They knew that Xu Qing would not be impetuous when doing things.

It is even clearer that if Xu Qing dared to say this, he must have thought of everything he should think about.

He stood up, raised his glass and touched it with Xu Qing, and said: "Qingzi, we two wish your meat factory in advance today that your business will be prosperous and prosperous!"

Xu Qing said hello with a smile, and together with Li Guohua and Er Niu, the three of them raised their heads and drank all the white wine in the glasses!

After eating and drinking, Li Guohua didn't let Xu Qing pay the bill. He gave Er Niu a look and asked Er Niu to watch him pay.

A few days ago, Quanjude had roast duck, and Xu Qing paid the bill.

How could Erniu and Li Guohua not pay every time.

In fact, Li Guohua should pay for it. This is not a thief. He asked Erniu to pay first, and he would pay Erniu after everything was done.

The three of them walked out of Fangshan. The sun was shining, the spring was bright, the sky was blue, and there were white clouds.

The willow trees on the shore of Beihai Park have sprouted, and the green buds are green and green under the sunlight.

On the lake, there are sparkling microwaves. The frozen lake surface has long since melted. The lake water reflects the surrounding scenery. With the breeze, ripples appear and continue to ripple away.

Some diners who had just come to Fangshan brought their children, girlfriends, family members, relatives and friends, chatting and laughing while enjoying the beautiful scenery of the lake.

In the good season, everything is full of vitality. Xu Qing increasingly feels that he must do something big this year.

We can't waste our time, let alone miss this once-in-a-century opportunity.
