1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 15: The Wild Age
There is an old saying: Live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the water, eat by the water.

Just like the cook eats the kitchen, the purchaser eats the kickbacks.
Originally, Yang Mo thought that Sun Jian was simply taking advantage of his position as the captain of the drilling team to "leak oil" or "sell scrap" or something like that. After all, this kind of behavior was too common in the 1980s and 1990s.

But he didn't expect that the "earning extra money" Sun Jian mentioned was not this...

………………

"Master Yang, Xiao Tu, you two are both college students and are well-informed... You must have seen the famous Daqiuzhuang in Tianjin in newspapers and on TV, right?" When talking about business, Sun Jian's expression became serious, with an inexplicable confidence on his face.

Daqiu Village?
Unlike Tu Lili who was filled with amazement, Yang Mo's forehead inadvertently frowned three points when he heard the name.

People in later generations may be unfamiliar with this name, but in the early 1990s, Daqiu Village, which had the title of "the best village in the world", was an extremely awesome existence.

How awesome is this...

Let me put it this way. This village was originally just an ordinary one on the saline-alkali land of the North China Plain. Since the mid-1980s, it has been developing rapidly under the leadership of its "owner" Yu Zuomin.
After entering the 16s, this village, which had only more than 100 villagers at that time, had 1990 Mercedes-Benz cars and more than 3400 imported luxury cars. The per capita income in 10 was US$1992, 40 times the national per capita income. In 3400, the industrial output value of Daqiuzhuang was said to have reached billion yuan, and large villas with unique shapes could be seen everywhere in the village. You have to know that it was the early s when the average wage of workers was just over yuan. An annual income of US$ is almost equivalent to an annual salary of one million in later generations based on purchasing power parity. Can you believe it?
But this is not the most amazing thing. The most amazing thing is that their owner is not only one of the first role models who became representatives of the National People's Congress as farmer entrepreneurs, but he can also go to some patriarchs in the imperial capital from time to time to report on his work - this may not sound intuitive, but as long as you have a little understanding of the system, you will understand the weight of this sentence.

Compared with Daqiuzhuang, once known as the "number one village in the world", Tianxiayicun, which emerged later, is actually much less impressive and influential.

As for why Daqiuzhuang was able to achieve such a glorious level in just a few years, and once became a representative of domestic township enterprises and was widely publicized by the national media...

Firstly, it is catching up with the dividends of the times, coupled with its own unique location advantages;
Secondly, in that era when the legal system in all aspects was not sound, some rather rough operational strategies were adopted - of course, for some well-known reasons, these things cannot be discussed in detail.

Therefore, when Yang Mo heard the three words "Daqiuzhuang", his first reaction was not admiration or yearning, but caution - you know, no matter whether it is Daqiuzhuang or their owner, the ending after a few years will not be a good one.

………………

As if he didn't notice Yang Mo's indifference, Sun Jian continued to talk big: "Inspired and encouraged by Daqiu Village, Xialiu Village also decided to learn from them after repeated discussions and demonstrations. So they organized all the production teams and villagers in the village to form a collective enterprise. Under the leadership of the elected leadership team, they are determined to break through the siege."

"But you also know that Xialiu Village is not very wealthy. Apart from a few half-living small factories and a group of villagers who are not afraid of hardship, there is nothing to show for it."

"So, after three months of investigation and study in Daqiu Village, Yan Laoxi, the former village secretary and current general manager, finally found a feasible way!"

At this point, Sun Jian waved his hand, like a leader giving a speech on stage: "To put it simply, it's these eight words: [focus on the long term, and trade short-term for long-term]!"

"Manager Yan believes that development is people-oriented. With the simplicity and hard work of the villagers in Xialiu Village, as long as they are given a chance, they will definitely seize this hard-won opportunity and build Xialiu Village into the second Daqiu Village within ten years. In order to obtain this opportunity, even if the whole village sacrifices short-term interests and has to work hard for another two years, it will not hesitate!"

"And what is Xialiu Village's biggest problem right now...is lack of funds!"

"With the funds, they can import second-hand equipment lines from abroad!"

"With the funds, they can purchase the necessary technology patents from state-owned enterprises and hire first-class technicians!"

"With the funds, they can initially set up their own transport fleet, and no longer have to beg others for transport quotas to transport goods out of this remote area!"

"With the funds..."

After a high-spirited outlook, Sun Jian sighed with regret: "Unfortunately, the prospect is bright, but the reality is always cruel... I'm sure you all know that the trend in the country has changed again since last year..."

"If a few years ago, central enterprises were the biological sons, provincial and municipal state-owned enterprises were the second sons, township enterprises were the third sons, and private enterprises were the wild sons raised by the neighbors who came to visit... since last year, township enterprises have also become the wild sons of the neighbors!"

"So... getting a loan from a bank... is difficult!"

Yang Mo, who had been watching Sun Jian's performance patiently, nodded slightly when he heard this.

If you have an elder from the "84th Generation" around you, he will definitely tell you that this is an era of ups and downs.

In the late 1980s, due to various reasons, private enterprises that were once highly regarded suddenly turned from sweet little girls into Mrs. Niu, and many collective enterprises with "impure bloodlines" were also not welcomed. At this juncture, countless private and collective enterprises were eager to "return to the public" on their own initiative. How could a bank whose functions had not yet been separated lend money to a newly established township enterprise?

………………

Seeing Yang Mo nod, Sun Jian became more energetic, waving his strong arms and said in a rough voice: "But how can a living person be suffocated to death by urine? Since the bank is unwilling to lend, then we can find another way... You know, in Qilu, it's not only the banks that have money!" Tu Lili still hasn't reacted, and asked curiously: "Don't borrow money from the bank? Then who can I borrow money from... I heard that the procedures of central enterprises and state-owned enterprises are very complicated. Even if they have money, it will take at least a year and a half to complete a process... If you add the time spent on connections, it will be even longer... Isn't this a waste of time?"

Sun Jian laughed when he heard this: "If you have the ability to deal with state-owned enterprises, you would have dealt with the bank as well... Manager Yan is not that stupid!"

Tu Lili was even more puzzled: "If we don't look for central and state-owned enterprises, we can't count on banks either... Then what other units can we borrow money from?"

Sun Jian showed a hint of pride on his face: "Xiao Tu, see, this is the gap between us and Manager Yan. We only know how to look at the bank and the company to borrow money; Manager Yan's ideas are much more open... Have you forgotten that in Qilu, the employees of our oil company are really not short of money? In fact, not only us, but even in the village, every household can always scrape together some money. When a little bit adds up to a lot, it's an incredible amount!"

Tu Lili pointed at herself in disbelief: "We? This, this, this..."

Seeing that the girl was almost confused by the shock, Sun Jian sighed and shook his head, then lowered his voice stealthily: "Manager Yan and his team have enough start-up capital now, and their products are selling well, but if they want to promote their products to other cities, they need more funds... Therefore, they are more eager for funds now. In order to raise more funds, they would rather tighten their belts and live a hard life for two years, and even use their current monthly profits as interest!"

"So, if you invest money in them now, you can get 10% interest back that month... In other words, if you invest 100 yuan, you can get yuan interest that month... Uh, no, they call it dividends!"

"The most important thing is that after two years, they will return your capital to you... Just think about it, if you invest one thousand yuan, you can get back 3400 yuan including principal and interest after two years. Where can you find such a good thing!?"

Invest one thousand and get three thousand four hundred?
Tu Lili gasped. This is much more cost-effective than depositing money in the bank!
only……

Seeing the girl's expression of excitement and doubt, Sun Jian smiled calmly, "To be honest, it's because Manager Yan is expanding the market and is really short of money. In addition, Xiaotu and Master Yang have helped me so much that I am willing to act as a guarantor and give you such a good opportunity... If it were someone else, don't even think about it!"

"Guarantee?" Tu Lili looked at Sun Jian in confusion. She had never thought that lending money to others would require a guarantor.

Sun Jian looked amused. "Such a high interest rate and such a good opportunity to make money, anyone would be jealous... If it weren't for my close relationship with Manager Yan, and if our 152 drilling team was the first to lend a hand to them, no one else would be qualified to act as a guarantor... With me as a guarantor, as long as the money comes from you two, not only can it be invested smoothly, but the 2000 yuan deposit per person can also be waived... What do you think, I am quite generous, right?"

"Two, two thousand yuan deposit!?" Tu Lili took a breath of cold air again.

Sun Jian shook his head speechlessly and smiled: "The money is useful to borrow from others. If you don't pay the deposit, what if you suddenly have a brain accident one day and insist on withdrawing the principal within two years? That would cause trouble... Don't worry, after the two-year period is up, they will return the deposit and principal to you!"

Tu Lili said "oh" as if she understood something, but her mind was dizzy with countless banknotes.

As long as the money passes through Yang Mo and me, it can be invested? ?

So that means... ?
Thinking of the pitiful three-digit number in her parents' passbook and the similar situations in her relatives and friends' families, the little girl's eyes lit up, as if she had discovered some incredible way to get rich.

Yang Mo, who was sitting quietly aside, sighed.

Well, I finally understand why you suddenly became so enthusiastic towards us two college rookies. This is the reason after all the fuss.

Tsk tsk, it seems that this drill jam accident still has an impact on you!

After thinking for a while, Yang Mo stood up and looked at Sun Jian with a smile: "Oh, I have to pee urgently, Captain Sun... do you want to go and solve it together?"

Sun Jian was stunned when he heard this, but then nodded generously: "Okay!"

………………

Three minutes later.

Stab la la.

Yang Mo looked at the water splashes on the dry grass with a comfortable look on his face, then suddenly turned his head and said, "Captain Sun, may I ask... who are you in charge of this [Taihui]?"

! ! ! !
As the water column came to an abrupt stop,

Sun Jian turned around in horror, his pupils shrinking into needles in an instant...
