To build a factory or not

After the first month of the lunar year, Hu Yufeng knew the outcome of what happened before the New Year.

The old couple next door asked the village to approve a new plot of land, which is located at the intersection of Qinjia Road and the national highway.

The land occupied is not very large. It is said that only three houses will be built, with a main room, one for living and one for cooking, which is just right for the old couple.

His son was a bricklayer, so the task of building the house naturally fell on Qin Wenzhen.

Qin Wenzhen is a person who pursues fairness and justice the most. I do the work but I don't spend a penny.

Qin Wenqing didn't come out either, and anyone who said he was a bad person would just say he had no money.

In the end, Chen Xiulian gritted her teeth and paid for the materials.

The house was built very quickly because Qin Wen was working like crazy.

He had promised his big client Wenli years ago that he would build a wall for them. Spring plowing is coming soon. If we are slow, someone might covet those acres of land.

After the house was painted and left to air for half a month, Uncle Qin and his wife officially moved in.

From the beginning of building the house, people in the village have been saying that Wenqing is a lucky man because he can afford a place without spending any money.

Liu Rong also thought so, and he became even more determined after hearing what others said. It was rare that the entire process from building the house to moving in did not cause any trouble for the old couple.

Qin Wenli was also called to help. He didn't have to move much stuff and came back in two hours.

As soon as he entered the room, he lowered his voice and said that the house might not be kept for Wenqing.

Sure enough, Liu Rong started swearing in the afternoon.

Hu Yufeng pricked up her ears and listened for a while. It turned out that it was Chen Xiulian who locked the door with a big lock!

She laughed secretly at home: "You deserve it. I told you to brag about it everywhere. The old couple are not dead yet, and you are already thinking about the house."

Liu Rong certainly would not give up after not getting the house. She had originally agreed to let Qin Ling live with the old couple, but she immediately detained her.

It's just a sudden change of mind, don't you think it's easy for anyone?

Chen Xiulian is also a ruthless person. She pretended not to see anything when she saw it, and if someone refused to give it to her, she wouldn't give it to him. She even saved some food.

Liu Rong was unable to control her mother-in-law and got so angry that she went crazy at Qin Ling.

Miao Fang, who was passing by after get off work, couldn't stand it and said a few words, and Liu Rong started to curse at Miao Fang.

Unfortunately, she hit a wall this time. Miao Fang didn't talk much, but she was much better at scolding people than her. Not only did they curse at each other, they also started to fight. Liu Shehong and a few others who were traveling with them tried to stop the fight, but they singled out Liu Rong, causing her to suffer a lot.

"Wenqing, are you dead?" Liu Rong's scalp was aching so much that he walked into the house holding his waist.

Isn’t Wenqing just pretending to be dead? He looked at his wife's miserable appearance and said slowly: "Why did you bother her for no reason?"

He can't afford to offend Miao Fang, and he can't afford to offend other people's men even more. He still remembered that once Miao Fang was bitten by a dog belonging to a villager. The family refused to give her medical treatment, and her husband almost smashed all the family's belongings.

Liu Rong died of anger. Was it her fault that she was beaten down?

What's the use of this man! ! !

He didn't care about the pain anymore and pounced on Wen Qing to strangle him.

Qin Ling looked at the couple fighting, feeling scared but also a little happy.

…

The dogs next door are biting each other, but the Qin family is too busy to watch the fun.

Perhaps it is because we have entered a new era, people's lives are getting better and better, and family business is becoming more prosperous. Not only has the supply to each store increased, but some people even come to them for wholesale.

That's a good thing. With the increase in flour and labor prices in the past two years, the cost of making fried dough twist has also increased. My family set the purchase price according to the supply quantity.

Anyone who comes just needs to buy the goods according to the price.

With Yang Xiu in the shop and Huizi at home, Hu Yufeng was responsible for recruiting people.

It had been half a year since Shi Liming gave birth to her child. She rushed to the house upon hearing the news.

Hu Yufeng inspected two more in the village, and now there are 8 people in her family workshop.

The operation room was a little small, and the kitchen in the old house was unused, so Huizi led people to clean it up and divided it into two parts.

Everything at home is busy but in order.

Qin Wenli has a new job, registering a trademark.

This was brought up by his second and fourth brothers when he went back a few days ago. The brand of his "Yufeng Mahua" is becoming more and more famous day by day, but it has not received any legal certification. If someone else registers first, you will lose a lot of money.

After hearing this, he broke out in a cold sweat and said that he always felt like something was overlooked, and it turned out to be the trademark.

I discussed it with Hu Yufeng when I came back.

Hu Yufeng also became anxious when she heard this. This was a major issue concerning long-term development. Alas, she still had too little experience.

Because of this incident, Hu Yufeng and Qin Wenli became more aware of the importance of learning. Society is constantly developing. If they want to grow bigger, they must first learn and develop themselves.

So Qin Wenli received another task, which was to buy some business books for Hu Yufeng to read.

Qin Yu heard this and also wanted to write an essay. She will be promoted to fourth grade in the fall. In addition to writing essays and weekly reports, her teacher also requires her to write a diary every day.

Her life is the same every day and she really can't come up with any new ideas.

Qin Wenli had a heavy responsibility and, taking into account the instructions of his mother and daughter, he began to make daily trips to the county town.

…

In the second half of 2001, Hu Yufeng bought the business books she wanted. Unfortunately, her cultural level is too low. She can recognize the characters separately but cannot understand them together. Qin Wenli was better than her, but he just liked martial arts novels. When he saw these boring novels, he felt sleepy at once.

There are more and more employees in the family, and the documents that need to be processed are also one after another. There was no choice but to grope forward step by step.

I rushed back and forth between collecting documents and laying out maps every day, and finally took over the entire Yang County before the end of the year.

The family’s savings also successfully exceeded 50,000 yuan. At this point, Hu Yufeng finally felt a little relieved.

Ever since I started my business, I have either been borrowing money or paying off debts, and the family’s assets have never exceeded ten thousand yuan.

Fifty thousand is a lot for a rural family, but for investing in building a factory, it is just a small drop in the ocean, which cannot even make a single wave.

What to do next year?

After the New Year's Eve dinner, when only the family was left, Hu Yufeng raised this question.

In recent years, people who have attended family meetings have become numb and no longer have the reluctance to speak that they had in previous meetings.

Qin Shengtian said boldly: "Continue to save money."

Save a lot of money, build a grand house, buy a good coffin, and hold a grand funeral... This is Qin Shengtian's lifelong wish.

But for Hu Yufeng: Well, it’s well said, it’s the same as not saying anything, next one.

The old lady opened her mouth and showed her gaping teeth: "Why don't you continue to buy shops? A shop can support three generations. As long as you don't run into a bankrupt, you will always have food to eat."

Hu Yufeng took the lead and wanted to buy a shop, but they had no money now.

Qin Wenli observed the situation and suggested: "Why not start building a factory?"

He didn't always agree with Hu Yufeng's words. As the market gradually recognizes Mahua, he has realized the limitations of individual business.

Nowadays people pay more and more attention to hygiene and health. The two workshops are quite clean and the goods meet the hygiene conditions and quality standards, but there is still a long way to go before product standardization.

Take packaging for example. Their current packaging is an ordinary sealed bag with a label on the outside with ingredients, production date, shelf life, storage conditions, precautions, etc.

Not to mention whether the content is complete, even this piece of paper, some of the parts are not even pasted completely.

This problem will only be gradually exposed as the business expands. Now that it has been discovered, of course the sooner it is solved the better.

How to solve it? Of course, it is to carry out large-scale and professional operations. Establishing a professional and formal factory is one thing, but it is also necessary to formulate complete production processes and rules and regulations.

Of course, this is easier said than done.

"We need to build a production site, update equipment, expand the market, etc. Each step requires money, but we only have 50,000 yuan at home."

After Qin Wenli finished his analysis, he put the difficulties into practice. Everyone's originally surging enthusiasm for setting up a factory was poured with a basin of cold water, and they all became troubled.

Everyone pursed their lips and said nothing.

Hu Yufeng twisted her neck and looked at Wen Li: "I remember Director Wang said that there are some support policies in the town for the project, right?"

Qin Wenli nodded: "Yes, I have asked, and I can negotiate a bank loan."

Hu Yufeng tapped her fingers and made a decision.

"Then go ask them when you go back to work after the Chinese New Year to see if they can help us coordinate?"

Is this definitely going to be built? Qin Wenli felt more confident and agreed.

…

In the first month of the lunar year, after the town government started work, Qin Wenli went to see Director Wang with two packs of cigarettes in his pocket.

After knocking on the door, Director Wang called him in. Seeing it was him, he smiled and asked him to sit down.

As usual, the two chatted about this and that, and then Qin Wenli explained his purpose and looked at Director Wang expectantly.

Director Wang smiled and said, "I always think you always come at the right time. Look, I'm watching."

As he said this, he took a stack of printed documents.

Qin Wenli looked at the title, which was "Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and □□ on Doing a Good Job in Agriculture and Rural Work in 2001."

The place that Director Wang had drawn with a red pen read:

"Developing township enterprises is an important way to transfer surplus agricultural labor. We must guide township enterprises to continue to promote two fundamental changes, accelerate structural adjustment, technological progress and institutional innovation, and achieve new development... The key to developing small towns is economic development. We must rely on industrial development, especially combining it with agricultural industrialization, township enterprises, professional markets and the construction of social service systems... All localities must speed up the formulation of investment policies, land policies and household registration reform implementation measures to promote the development of small towns..."

Qin Wenli glanced at Director Wang, then read the passage over and over again to make sure he had fully understood its meaning, and his heart began to pound.

"Has our county's policy come out yet?" Qin Wenli asked, grasping the key point.

Director Wang shook his head: "It's been less than a month since the central government issued the document, and the provincial government's opinions have not yet come out. The earliest it will be is March."

Qin Wenli had a clear idea in his mind and knew that the situation was urgent, so he calmed down and asked Director Wang for advice.

When he came out of Director Wang's place, he was holding a newspaper, as if he had found a treasure.

When they got home, Qin Wenli unfolded the newspaper and pointed to the drawn passage to show Hu Yufeng:

"We should adhere to the direction of rural credit cooperatives serving agriculture, rural areas and farmers, and solve the problem of small and medium-sized enterprises having difficulty in obtaining loans."

"Mom, this is the general financial policy for this year. Director Wang said that all major banks are also studying Document No. 1, and will definitely introduce supporting policies in the future."
