Reborn to be rich

Chapter 43

Since Wang Mancang bought the tractor, he has always let his own brother drive it. Because he has never really learned it, he overturned the tractor three times in just ten days.

The tractors that Wang Mancang bought were sent back by the staff of the tractor factory. When he returned home, he studied the tractors according to the instructions for several days and almost knocked down the wall of his house.

In fact, Zhang Guodong still admires the two brothers. He tried to drive the tractor to pull the stone to the village. It has to be said that it is ability to turn over three times and no one will be fine.

The third day when Uncle Wu came home was the start of school. Zhang Guodong’s younger brother, Zhang Guorui, should be at the school age this year. Zhang Chenglin took his two children to the school to sign up early in the morning. Zhang Ping also wanted to sign up today. Zhang Guodong originally planned to drive Sent her there, but was rejected.When the child grows up, she doesn't want her affairs to be controlled by others, so Zhang Guodong gave her 12 yuan tuition fee to let her go by herself, and let her ride the bicycle at home.

When the time came to September, autumn began. Zhang Guodong went to Chang'an almost once every half a month to sell some ordinary silver coins and then buy some goods. Fewer and fewer people came to buy clothes and shoes at home, but Zhang Guodong is not afraid, these things will not be bad, and people will buy them anytime (as long as they are not bitten by mice).

On this day, Zhang Chenglin went home and told his eldest son that the order from the village had arrived.At the beginning of October, each village team elects the village team leader, then in November the village team leader starts the preliminary selection, and in December the list must be handed over to the village.

"It's easy to say in our team. It's no problem for you to become the captain of the second team. I think it's better to let everyone confirm the captain at noon today. Let's prepare to compete with Mancang for the captain." Zhang Chenglin introduced the village to his son. According to the policy of the village, Zhang Guodong wanted to confirm the team leader as soon as possible.

"Okay, find a place for every family to send representatives to participate, and we will hold the team election meeting in the afternoon." The village team leader asked for the meeting not to be held at the candidate's home, so this time the meeting cannot be held at Zhang Guodong's home.

"Then it's at your Uncle Jiu's house! He happens to be at home this Saturday, and I'll tell everyone about it later." As Zhang Chenglin was the captain of the second team, everyone believed in him. This time, he pushed Zhang Guodong to the front. It is his idea and the expectation of the entire second team.

After lunch, Zhang Guodong went to Uncle Jiu's house when he went out. His father, mother, and four younger brothers and sisters accompanied him. When he walked to the door of Uncle Jiu's house, what he didn't expect was that almost everyone in the second team was there. The whole yard was full of people.

"Welcome everyone, the new captain of our second team!" Seeing Zhang Guodong coming in, Heizi was the first to boo and clap his hands.

"Haven't chosen yet! It's too early to call the captain, wait until the selection is over!" Zhang Guodong looked at the neighbors and said with a smile.

"There is no choice, you are the only candidate, this is not a firm matter!" Heizi coaxed from the side.

"Yes, everyone is waiting for you to become the captain and lead us to earn money!" A member of the second team shouted.Everyone booed.

"What are you yelling about? The election of the captain is a procedure stipulated by the village. How can it be child's play? I've distributed ballots, so don't take more than one for your family! ... When you see the ones who agree, put a checkmark in the brackets after the consent If you don’t agree, give it if you don’t agree. If you don’t agree, then draw a correct ballot. If you draw a wrong ballot, it will be invalid.” Zhang Chenglin, as the current captain, maintained order and distributed the prepared ballots to each family member. Teller and scrutineer.

"14 votes were issued, 14 votes were received, and 14 votes agreed that Zhang Guodong was elected as the captain of the second team of Zhangjialing Village." Zhang Wenbin happily announced the voting results, and everyone received understanding applause.

"Guodong, please say something!" Zhang Chenglin pushed his son to the front and let him speak. There is still nearly a month before the handover of the new and old captains, but the second team has nothing to hand over. In the future, Zhang Guodong can represent the second team. The team participated in the village brigade meeting.

"Thank you, uncles and elders. Thank you for your trust in me. Everyone knows that I am going to run for the captain of our village this time! Then why should I be the captain of this captain?" Zhang Guodong's words made the lively crowd suddenly Calm down, Zhang Guodong's family is the first in the village to buy a tractor, and they also do clothing business. If it is said that the annual salary subsidy of 240 yuan is for the captain, no one will believe it.

"When I was studying in the county seat, I knew that the southern part of the motherland had begun to vigorously develop and open up. Many rural areas in the past have now built factories. There are many ways for farmers to earn money. We can't compare with others. This year, I went to the countryside near Chang'an with Uncle Nine and Second Brother, and they are all much richer than us." Zhang Guodong took a breath and found that everyone, regardless of gender, was listening quietly.

"The current China is completely different from the past. The state encourages local economic development and encourages farmers to develop freely to obtain greater benefits. As long as they do not violate the law, many discerning people find ways to make money at this time, and they become rich in no time. , This is an opportunity of the times, and I don’t want our Zhangjialing to miss it.” The more Zhang Guodong said, the more excited he became, and the members of the second team below also clenched their fists. None of the recent events in the village have changed because of Zhang Guodong, and they have nothing to do. Times are more hungry for opportunities than now.

"Guodong, you can do whatever you want, and we all follow your orders." Uncle Yigong said loudly.

"Yes, we all listen to you. If it weren't for you, let alone buy a tractor, I wouldn't even be able to afford white noodles!" Uncle Jiu said in a low voice.

"Yes, we all listen to you!"

……

Looking at the figures beside him, Zhang Guodong's heart was extremely hot, and he felt an extremely heavy burden on his shoulders for a moment.

The second team, Zhang Guodong, became the new captain. In Zhangjialing, he became the subject of discussion after dinner. Some people hope that he can successfully run for the title of village captain and lead the whole village to become rich. However, some of them are indifferent. How many times the village has changed captains over the years? , who didn't just gain benefits for himself after he came to power.

At the end of September, because there were too few people in the village to participate in road construction, and the progress of the construction team hired from outside the village was very slow, some villages not only did not send people to build roads, but also did not pay stones or money. After we talked, I heard that several township cadres had been beaten by the villagers, and it was a big deal. Zhang Guodong was about to go out to collect ancient documents that day, when his father stopped him and told him to go to the brigade headquarters.

The captains of the four teams were all elected, and the captains of the other teams remained unchanged, only Zhang Guodong replaced his father.

"Because the county sent a special person to the village to supervise the road construction. This time, some villages were in trouble. I went to the township for a meeting yesterday afternoon. The county commissioner demanded that the main road in the township be completed on time. The roads in between must also be repaired. Our village must be responsible for the section from Xidalukou to Caojiagou, a total of 3700 meters, and the width of the road must be more than [-] meters. Let’s talk about how to divide this work.” Wang Mancang, as the team leader, first Talking, the others were silent, and Zhang Guodong did not open his mouth when he participated in this kind of meeting for the first time.

The 3700-meter 1000-meter yellow stone pavement requires at least 20 tons of stones, which is more than [-] tons for each household. Including the loess used for road construction, it cannot be completed within half a year.

"This task is very difficult, but the county has also given a reward policy. The village subsidizes 5 yuan per square meter of road. As long as the task is completed before September next year, the village brigade will be rewarded with 9 yuan. This road repair is a must. , Everyone talk about their own ideas, Guodong, it’s your first time to participate in a meeting, so let’s make a start first!”

Wang Mancang kicked the ball directly to Zhang Guodong, and paid 5 yuan for one meter of road. There is at least 7 yuan in the gap. It is impossible for each family to pay thousands of yuan. The villagers spread this word to the villagers. Not angry anymore.

"Uncle Mancang, Uncle Four, Brother Zhang Feng. I did a rough calculation just now. The 3700-meter-long road is divided into 51 households in our village, which is more than 70 meters. If the second and third teams have tractors, it is not good for everyone to use together. It’s impossible to finish, but what about the first team and the fourth team!” Zhang Guodong kicked the ball back directly, I can give the tractor to the second team, Uncle Mancang, are you willing to give the tractor to the third team for nothing?The matter of the first team and the third team has to be decided by you, the captain.

"Brother Chengdong, tell me!" Mancang pointed at Zhang Guodong's fourth uncle Zhang Chengdong again. He is the captain of the first team, and the most people in the first team have the most say.

"Since the order has been issued in the village, we have to carry it out, right? After all, building roads is for our own sake. If we don't build roads, it would be very difficult to pay the public rations every year. I feel that it is not difficult to distribute the work to the villagers. Without a tractor, I will not be able to finish the work next year with a shelf truck alone. I will not be able to do the work in the field? I mean, give the money from the village subsidy to the people who haul the stones and loess! Doing things for your own village can’t fully consider yourself, the money is not enough for the village See if you can take it out."

What the fourth uncle said was fair, Zhang Guodong couldn't help but nodded, and Zhang Feng on the side also nodded in agreement. Their fourth team was the farthest from the Guanlu intersection, and the travel was the most inconvenient. It should be said that the biggest beneficiary of road construction is themselves.

"I don't think there is any problem with everyone. Guodong, your second team is the richest. Let's see if you can encourage everyone to buy a few more tractors. Our team doesn't need any subsidy money from the village. You just need to help transport the stones and soil. On the main road, we will load the car by ourselves.” After Zhang Feng finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Guodong, who was a few years older than Zhang Guodong and had been the captain of the fourth team for three years, and he was very prestigious in the fourth team.

"Based on 1200 tons of yellow stones and 3000 tons of soil, the village subsidizes 18600 yuan, hauling a ton of stones for 5 yuan and soil for 3 yuan. You can make money as long as you do it quickly. The key is to mobilize the enthusiasm of the villagers. In this way, If it is dirt, each team tries to pull it by itself with a rack truck, which can be pulled nearby; if it is stone, each team will notify the tractor if they dig too much, and we will settle accounts together when the road is repaired in the end, how about it?" Zhang Guodong finished speaking and looked at Wang Mancang.

"Since Guodong said, let's do it this way, my tractor is fine, Guodong, the two tractors of your team are fine!" Wang Mancang said deliberately.

"I also have the idea of ​​buying a tractor these days. My Uncle Bolin also discussed buying a tractor with me a few days ago. What do you think of Guodong?" Zhang Chengdong ignored Wang Mancang's words and asked Zhang Guodong arrive.

"According to the current market conditions, the roads in Ganjing Township cannot be repaired in a short period of time. The leadership is like this. There is a policy at the top, no matter what happens. I don't care how many villages in this township can be repaired. Get up." Without waiting for Zhang Guodong to speak, Zhang Feng looked at him directly after speaking, and it was obvious that the three of them were not very satisfied with Wang Mancang.

"I can't guarantee this tractor. Stones in the village are always in demand. It will not be a problem until the beginning of the year. Aren't many villages near us collecting stones? It's no problem to earn back the cost of the tractor in two months." Zhang Guodong The attitude is also obvious, and everyone is encouraged to buy tractors. Zhangjialing will build roads next year, and other villages will also build roads!
The method has been confirmed and other things are easy to handle. The second team of the 3700-meter road finally contracted the part from Guanlukou to the village entrance, the first team contracted the part between the village road and the third team, and the third team followed the work of the first team. , the fourth team took the smallest project because of the small number of people.

Back home, Zhang Guodong called all the members of the second team to his home, and everyone was silent after listening to Zhang Guodong's words.

"It's a good thing, Guodong, you can decide, even if it's useless in the village, as long as you say nothing, I won't say anything. I won't go to Xiling Village tomorrow." Uncle Jiu took the lead in expressing his opinion after hearing this. At that time, he earned nearly 2000 yuan from tractors, and the borrowed money has been repaid. He is planning to buy a set of plows and seeders when he comes back. It will be time to plant wheat in a few days.

"You can't say that. Occasionally paying is okay, but in the long run, no one can bear it. I saw the price. It's not a problem to run 30 times a day. Uncle Jiu, you can earn much less than pulling stones a day." .” As long as you can keep pulling, you can earn much more than pulling stones.

"Guodong, what do you think about us buying a tractor together? We really can't afford it alone. I discussed with your Uncle Yigong and want to buy a tractor together. What do you think?" Dad Heizi saw others pulling stones He is also jealous of earning hundreds of dollars a day.

"Yes! You all know the price of the tractor. You can go directly to Chang'an to pick up the money. As long as you don't be lazy, it will not be a problem to earn back the capital in two months. But there is one thing I must make clear to you."

Everyone pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

"Only one person has the final say on the joint purchase of tractors. The other people who pay the money only have the power to supervise but not to manage. You can only wait for the dividends, and after a certain number of years, the principal has the right to redeem the tractor first. As for the price, the final decision is made through negotiation. .”

"Guodong, we all listen to you. Even if you bought a tractor, you still need to take care of it. Heizi can't drive it now. Let Guotao teach him more." Heizi's father must have thought of buying a tractor first. of.

"Okay, then I'll set a time limit of one year. Within one year, the principal is not allowed to let investors withdraw their shares at will. After one year, we will talk about the valuation of the tractor. We must first agree on these things in order not to hurt the feelings." , what we do is face-to-face work and there is no accounting supervision!"
