Chapter 75 Pulling Back the Bricks and Tiles

"Did you make a mistake?" How could the price of the brick factory be related to the villagers' money?

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!" The village chief saw this and understood what Mayor Zhao meant. He quickly waved his hand and said, "What I mean is that the bricks and tiles are going to be used to build a factory. They have already agreed to let the villagers build it and pay them. But the funds are limited. If they spend too much money at the brick and tile factory, won't the villagers earn less?"

"Let the villagers build factories?" Mayor Zhao asked the village chief.

"That's right. In order to let the villagers have a good New Year, we gave them the opportunity to make money." The village chief affirmed.

"Since you say so, then okay, I'll go say hello to the brick factory. However, I will pay attention to this matter. If the villagers don't enjoy the benefits, I won't agree." Mayor Zhao relaxed.

It is normal for the government to support enterprises in revitalizing the economy.

It was a rare occasion for the village to have such a major project as building a factory, and the town couldn't offer much support. Since the head of Ginkgo Village had come to him with a request, he couldn't just sit back and do nothing.

"Mayor Zhao, you can pay attention to it as you like. I am also keeping an eye on this matter, and there will definitely be no mistakes." The village chief assured.

"Okay, you can go to the brick factory to get bricks and tiles, and we'll charge this price." Mayor Zhao nodded.

Once the deal was done, everything went much more smoothly. To support Ginkgo Village in setting up a factory, Mayor Zhao even asked the brick and tile factory to ship the bricks and tiles over, saving them a significant amount of transportation costs!

"Mr. Zheng is right. It requires you, the village chief, to take action personally. No one else can do the job." After successfully buying bricks and tiles at a low price, Tan Xueming felt very satisfied and happy.

"I will help you negotiate the price and when construction can begin. I made this promise in front of the mayor, so you must not make any mistakes." The village chief looked at Tan Xueming seriously.

"It will start tomorrow, I will arrange it." Tan Xueming replied. He would not cheat the village chief on this.

The house has to be built, and it is more cost-effective for the villagers to hire a professional team.

"Then I'll wait for you tomorrow. I want to supervise the work. Do you have any objection?" The village chief asked Tan Xueming. He made a promise and felt uneasy if he didn't supervise it personally.

"I'm happy to do so. With the village chief supervising, I'm more confident about the quality of the house." Tan Xueming agreed with a smile. He was also worried that the villagers would cheat.

The next day, as the village chief expected, Tan Xueming arrived at Ginkgo Village early.

"How many people do you want to recruit? What will the salary be?" the village chief asked with concern.

"We're hiring one hundred people, no more than one per household. We won't accept anyone who isn't on good terms with the Zheng family. The wage is five yuan a day."

"Five yuan?" The village chief was surprised. "Didn't they say they were short of funds?"

Zheng Dandan and Tan Xueming always said that funds were tight, and he was even prepared to earn only two or three cents a day.

"Repairing a house is hard work. Although funds are tight, General Zheng said that we cannot treat our neighbors unfairly," replied Tan Xueming.

Although Zheng Dandan never said such words, Tan Xueming never hesitated to create a good image for Zheng Dandan.

"Dandan is a good child." The village chief nodded in appreciation, his eyes full of satisfaction.

"You reciprocate a favor. Mr. Zheng has seen the village chief's support for you. She is not only doing this for the neighbors, but also hopes not to disappoint you, the village chief." Tan Xueming agreed.

"Hahaha, not disappointed, not disappointed, I'll arrange it right away!" said the village chief with a smile, in a cheerful mood.

As for the disharmony with the Zheng family, this request seemed insignificant compared to the five yuan daily wage.
