Siheyuan: Fishing for All Things.

"Eh." Lin Shaowen waved his hand and said, "I never listen to what others say. I only watch what others do."

"Hey."

Li Xinmin nodded hurriedly, "Lao Lin, just tell me if you have anything to say."

"Come in and have breakfast first." Lin Shaowen waved his hand.

"My wife and children are still in the car..." Li Xinmin said with a red face.

"what?"

Lin Shaowen stretched his head out and looked outside. He saw a black Volga parked quietly there. He couldn't help but frown and said, "What car is this..."

"I borrowed this car from Qingshan Factory for half a year. After half a year, I have to return it." Li Xinmin said hurriedly, "My dad guessed that you must let me go to do business. It's not convenient without a car."

"No, then why did you bring Sister Qingmei out as well?" Lin Shaowen asked in surprise.

"My house was taken back, and Qingmei didn't want to live in her parents' home for a long time, so she came with her children and followed me." Li Xinmin said self-deprecatingly, "To be honest, the three of them didn't enjoy any happiness with me. Even though my father-in-law has a big family, he doesn't actually provide much financial support to us."

Lin Shaowen was silent for a while before he spoke, "Come in first, I'll ask our branch secretary to arrange accommodation for you."

"it is good."

Li Xinmin nodded, then ran over and opened the car door.

The first person to come down was a slightly bloated woman. She looked a bit like Zhao Qingshan. She couldn’t be said to be ugly, but she was definitely not pretty either. She was just average.

There were two boys following behind her, looking a little embarrassed.

"Sister Qingmei, I'm Lin Shaowen."

"I know you." Zhao Qingmei smiled softly, "My dad and Qingshan often mention you, saying that you are a very capable person."

"Thank you for the compliment." Lin Shaowen smiled and reached into his pocket. When he took his hand out again, he already had a handful of candy in his hand. "What are your names?"

"My name is Li Wen."

The slightly taller boy stepped forward and said.

"My name is Li Wu."

The other boy was a little shy and hid behind his brother.

"My name is Lin Shaowen, eat."

Lin Shaowen stuffed the candy into their mouths.

"Why don't you thank Uncle Lin?" Zhao Qingmei said quickly.

"Thank you, Uncle Lin."

The two children bowed in the same manner.

Seeing this, Lin Shaowen pointed at Li Xinmin.

Li Xinmin's face immediately turned red, and he felt extremely ashamed.

"Xiaoyu, entertain Sister Qingmei." Lin Shaowen called out.

"Ok."

Zhang Xiaoyu ran out immediately, took the box from Zhao Qingmei and said, "Sister Qingmei, your accommodation can only be arranged after the secretary comes back. You can take the children to my room to rest first."

"Hey, thank you." Zhao Qingmei said hurriedly.

"You're welcome." Zhang Xiaoyu smiled sweetly and turned her head to Lin Shaowen and said, "Village Chief... let's have breakfast first. The Party Secretary and the others are probably at the brick factory."

"it is good."

Lin Shaowen nodded with a smile.

Li Xinmin looked at Zhang Xiaoyu's smiling face and sighed inwardly.

He knew that Lin Shaowen was the same type of person as him.

It’s just that Lin Shaowen is smarter and has more resources than him.

Wangjia Brick Factory.

When Lin Shaowen drove the Volga with Li Xinmin, Wang Yousheng and others were helping to lay bricks. When they heard the sound of the car, they immediately came to greet them.

"Village chief, what should we do with these bricks?" Wang Yongnian asked.

"I've found someone here, haven't I?" Lin Shaowen pointed at Li Xinmin and said, "This is Li Xinmin. He will be the sales manager of our Wang's Brick Factory. Like Wang Laoliu, he doesn't receive a salary, but a commission of 2% of sales."

"Ouch."

Wang Yousheng, Wang Laoliu and others were all in awe.

Although they don’t know what a sales manager does, if he dares to earn the same amount as the factory manager, he must be a capable person.

"Hello everyone, I'm Li Xinmin, you can just call me Xiao Li." Li Xinmin said cheerfully, "This time Lao Lin asked me to come here to give me a job, but don't worry, if I can't sell it, I will pay for my own food, clothing, housing and travel expenses."

"it is good."

After all, it was Director Li. These few words made everyone applaud.

"Manager Li, you should first familiarize yourself with our business. As long as the sales targets are all units except supply and marketing cooperatives..." Lin Shaowen said seriously.

"I see."

Li Xinmin picked up the brick and weighed it for a few times before giving it a thumbs up. "This is a good thing."

"The radiation range doesn't need to be too wide, because the transportation cost of bricks is very high, and it is limited to Changping." Lin Shaowen said softly, "We will have other products waiting for you to make in the future."

"No problem. I'll test the waters with some bricks first." Li Xinmin reached out and took a few bricks, threw them into the trunk of the car, and then said to Wang Yousheng, "Secretary, give me a base price..."

"One cent a piece." Lin Shaowen interrupted.

"One cent?" Wang Yousheng was suddenly shocked and said, "Village Chief, this price... isn't it a bit too high? I think five cents is about right."

"No, just one cent a brick." Lin Shaowen said seriously, "Looking at the entire Changping County, we are the only one that produces tens of thousands of bricks a day, and our quality is guaranteed."

Anyway, it is a public-to-public transaction, in the form of barter.

One cent per piece is excessive, but not outrageous.

Of course, he didn't dare to say such things.

"Do I have any room for negotiation on the price?" Li Xinmin asked in a deep voice.

"There is no room for this." Lin Shaowen said seriously, "After all, we are doing long-term business, so we don't want to affect our reputation."

"understood."

Li Xinmin nodded and said, "I'll go test the waters around here today... and come back later."

"it is good."

Lin Shaowen nodded with a smile.

"Is... leaving now?"

Wang Yousheng was very surprised when he saw the speeding car.

"He doesn't take our salary. The more he works, the more he gets paid. Why do you care about him?" Lin Shaowen said with a smile.

"That's not the case..." Wang Yousheng hesitated.

"By the way, his wife and children are here too, you can make arrangements for them." Lin Shaowen said softly, "I guess he doesn't have much money on him, I'll transfer 200 yuan to the public account as an advance to him."

"Village chief, what is your relationship with him?" Wang Yongnian couldn't help but ask.

"He is my old leader." Lin Shaowen sighed.

Wang Yousheng and others widened their eyes. Wow, it’s the young doctor after all.

This old leader was even brought here to be a subordinate, that's really awesome.

Chapter 414 County Support

When Li Xinmin came back in the evening, he looked at the two hundred yuan on the table, then looked at Zhao Qingmei who was cooking, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Old Li, life will be better in the future," Zhao Qingmei comforted.

"Yes, life will be better in the future." Li Xinmin wiped away his tears.

"Let's eat."

Zhao Qingmei served him the meal before going to take care of the two children.

Li Xinmin looked at his back, tears flowing uncontrollably again.

Village branch.

"Village chief, if we continue at this rate, we will produce about 5,000 bricks a day...but the supply and marketing cooperative won't accept them for the time being, so what should we do with these bricks?" Wang Yousheng was smoking a pipe, looking worried.

Bricks are different from other commodities. It’s not that the supply and marketing cooperatives refuse to accept them.

Instead, they have to find a buyer and then give the order. Otherwise, they have nowhere to put so many bricks. What's more, it costs money to transport the bricks to the supply and marketing cooperative, and others also have to pay when they come to the supply and marketing cooperative to pick up bricks.

"Do your best. Let's build the school first." Lin Shaowen said softly.

"What? School?"

All the village cadres were stunned.

"Village head, I'm not trying to discourage you, it's just that we don't have a teacher." Wang Yongnian sighed, "Now the county is short of teachers, and we..."

"Don't we have educated youth?" Lin Shaowen curled his lips and said, "Although our village doesn't have them, other villages do. We can exchange our school places with them..."

"Change?"

Everyone looked at each other, somewhat confused.

"Our school is a full-boarding school. Do you know what a boarding school is? It means that you eat and live in the school, and the teachers manage it. You pay for your own food and books..." Lin Shaowen said seriously, "Our village pays the teachers wages or work points."

"Will this... work?" Wang Yousheng was a little skeptical.

"Village chief, do you remember our agreement?" Lin Shaowen looked at him calmly.

"Remember, remember." Wang Yousheng said hurriedly, "You decide the development of the village. I won't interfere with you. Whatever you say goes."

"Very good." Lin Shaowen smiled, "Tomorrow you take people to select a site for building a school... First, it must be safe and far away from the water. Second, the place must be spacious enough."

"Well, I'll do it tomorrow." Wang Yousheng said in a deep voice.

"If you have any other questions, please continue." Lin Shaowen lit a cigarette.

"Village chief, what should we do about developing animal husbandry as you mentioned?" Wang Chengyuan asked.

"After the school is built, we will start to build a large-scale breeding farm. Unlike the commune... we will adopt the household contract system." Lin Shaowen said seriously, "What I said today, no one is allowed to leak it. I will not take responsibility after I leave this door."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

"Are you all deaf?" Wang Yousheng shouted.

"Yes."

Everyone answered hurriedly.

"Although the farm is collective, we adopt a contracting system, dividing the farm into several small single rooms, each of which is responsible for its own work." Lin Shaowen said solemnly, "The same is true for the fields. The fields are still owned by the family, but the responsibility is divided among each family. They cultivate the fields themselves, and the village branch collects the grain."

The household contract responsibility system is something that no one dares to think about now, and it even violates current policies. But Lin Shaowen knows that human laziness determines that the big pot meal cannot last long.

It’s not that the commune system is bad, but that it is too idealistic.

"Village chief, if we do this...will the higher-ups have any objections?" Wang Yousheng asked anxiously.

"As long as we deliver enough food and these things are not leaked out, do you think anyone will take care of us?" Lin Shaowen asked back.

"That's true." Wang Yousheng nodded.

"Anyway, I won't take responsibility once I leave this door. As for the rest... Secretary, you can handle it yourself." Lin Shaowen said dishonestly.

"Village chief, don't worry. If anyone dares to leak it, he will never be able to live in peace in the village again." Wang Yousheng said murderously.

"We will take good care of our subordinates." Wang Yongnian and others also hurriedly expressed their opinions.

"very good."

Lin Shaowen glanced at his watch, stood up and said self-deprecatingly, "I'm entrusting my life and property to you. If you mess up... I might have to go to jail."

"Village chief, don't worry. If this matter gets out, I will take the responsibility." Wang Yousheng patted his chest and promised.

Lin Shaowen said nothing and turned to walk out.
