Chapter 315 There are many ways to solve problems
Zhou Yong quickly glanced around and saw that no one noticed Li Hongjun's words, so he felt relieved: "What are you talking about?"
There are many ways to solve the problem without resorting to extreme measures.
What's more, we are now in the midst of a severe crackdown. If Wu Jun died suddenly, the county public security bureau would definitely conduct an in-depth investigation and get to the bottom of it.
After listening to Zhou Yong's words, Li Hongjun scratched his head and said, "I just said that."
Zhou Yong glanced at his brother-in-law and said, "Some things can be said, but some things cannot be said even if they are rotten in the stomach. You have to know that the mouth can cause trouble..."
Li Hongjun nodded. He understood that Zhou Yong was doing this for his own good.
The two arrived at Hongqi Township and rode their bicycles back to Huaixi Village.
When Zhou Yong arrived home, his family was having dinner.
He washed his hands and went to the table. Li Caiyun asked him whether Wu Jun's problem had been resolved.
Zhou Yong told everyone the result, but he didn't tell everyone about the process.
The next day, Zhou Yong devoted himself to his work.
For three consecutive days, he was busy dealing with busy official business. When he finished these things, Xu Jianmin called him.
From the last meeting until now, Huaixi Village has not reported any projects. Xu Jianmin became a little anxious and called to inquire about the situation.
After hanging up the phone with Xu Jianmin, Zhou Yong raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows.
"Brother Zhou, what's wrong with you?"
Zhou Yong put down his hand, squinted his eyes and sighed: "Village Chief Xu requires our village to apply for a project..."
Huaixi Village is now developing stably, and Zhou Yong longs to maintain the status quo.
However, his superiors' expectations of him did not stop there.
After listening to Zhou Yong's words, Sun Qing said: "If it doesn't work, what if we apply for an oil refinery?"
Li Ming continued: "It costs a lot of money to install a set of oil pressing equipment, and most households use animal oil. I don't think the benefits of the oil pressing plant will be very good..."
Animal oil is not only cheap, but also tasty, and most importantly, it makes dishes smell delicious.
Not only is soybean oil expensive, even wealthy families cannot afford to use it in cooking every meal, except when making pancakes or steamed buns.
Sun Qing nodded, thinking that what Li Ming said made sense.
Zhou Ling and He Xiu Lan came, and soon Li Hongjun also came, and everyone started a discussion.
Some people suggested opening a flour mill, some suggested opening a paper mill, and some suggested opening a thermos factory.
Zhou Yong listened to everyone's discussion and had some thoughts in mind.
"Sun Qing, how much money is currently in the brigade's account?"
Zhou Yong's words made everyone quiet down. Sun Qing didn't even look at the account book: "There are 278,000 yuan on the account, and the township government owes us 48,000 yuan..."
"Make a budget later and see how much it will cost to open a flour mill and a paper mill."
Sun Qing responded, and Zhang Wei smiled and said, "I know this."
Zhang Wei previously worked at the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and often dealt with various factories.
After listening to Zhang Wei's words, Zhou Yong decided to apply for both the paper mill and the flour mill at the same time.
"Brother Zhou, in addition to the flour mill and paper mill, your village can open a winery..."
The distiller's grains are used to feed pigs and the pig manure is converted into fertilizer, killing two birds with one stone and achieving resource recycling.
Zhou Yong thought Zhang Wei’s suggestion was good, but without a winemaker, this problem would be difficult to solve.
Zhang Wei smiled and said, "My eldest brother works in our county winery. If Huaixi Village wants to open a winery, we can send a few people over to learn the technology..."
Once the technical issues are resolved, the rest of the work becomes much easier.
Zhou Yong applied for three projects, and Xu Jianmin was stunned.
After some communication with Zhou Yong over the phone, I reported the three projects.
The three projects reported by Huaixi Village were approved within less than a month. Zhou Yong took Sun Qing to the county government to cry poor and demand debts.
After much persuasion from the two of them, Xu Jianmin scraped together the money from his teeth and paid off the debt he owed to Huaixi Village.
After getting the money, Zhou Yong went to Xu Jianmin again and applied for 50,000 yuan in factory funding.
Xu Jianmin slammed the table and said, "Do I look like 50,000 yuan?"
Zhou Yong said with a smile: "Brother, don't be angry. We are talking about business, not personal matters. Do you have to be so impatient?"
How could Xu Jianmin not be so anxious?
Zhou Yong had just taken away 48,000 yuan a few days ago. Now, even if Xu Jianmin's bones were crushed into pieces, the township government could not come up with 50,000 yuan.
"If you don't have it, forget it!"
Xu Jianmin glared at Zhou Yong fiercely: "Do you want to piss me off to death?"
Zhou Yong smiled and rubbed his hands, saying, "Brother, I have absolutely no such intention. Since the township government is in financial difficulty, I will go to the county leaders to solve the problem."
After hearing this, Xu Jianmin looked at Zhou Yong and said, "Junior brother, I advise you to think twice before you act. The county leaders are well aware of the economic situation of Huaixi Village. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to achieve your wish..."
Zhou Yong responded righteously: "Brother, if it was just to open one factory, I would never ask you for this. However, running three factories at the same time, the pressure on the team is really heavy..."
Xu Jianmin smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it. If the factory cannot be opened this year, it will be next year. Don't you just want to get some money back now?"
"Brother, we need to order all kinds of equipment in a few days. We need money everywhere. It's not easy for me to be the village chief..."
Xu Jianmin frowned slightly, he actually ignored the matter of entering the equipment.
The problem is that the county’s finances are also tight now, otherwise why would Hongqi Township owe money to Huaixi Village.
Although what Xu Jianmin said made sense, Zhou Yong still decided to talk to the county leaders.
After all, Huaixi Village has a nursing home, and the food expenses of the children going to school in the township are also paid by the brigade. If Zhou Yong drains the brigade's coffers, it will be detrimental to the stable development of Huaixi Village.
Xu Jianmin nodded continuously: "If you say so, the county may allocate funds to you..."
Zhou Yong sighed: "I don't ask for much, just give me 30,000 or 50,000 yuan."
Xu Jianmin thought for a while and said, "I'll go with you!"
Zhou Yong was happy: "That's great!"
Xu Jianmin looked at the time, and his fellow apprentices immediately set off for the county government.
After arriving, after an in-depth understanding and analysis of the current situation of Huaixi Village, the county leaders generously promised to provide Huaixi Village with 100,000 yuan in financial assistance.
However, county leaders put forward clear requirements for worker deployment.
In order to achieve more extensive improvements in people's livelihood, county leaders emphasized that workers should not only be from Huaixi Village, but also be recruited from within Hongqi Township. This measure aims to promote balanced economic development in the region and improve the overall income level of the people.
After careful consideration, Zhou Yong actively fought for the welfare of the villagers.
There are more than 700 households in Huaixi Village. If a factory is opened in the village, the employment quota must first be allocated to the villagers.
As for the so-called overall view of the county leaders, Zhou Yong has it, but he can't take care of those things.
He is just the village chief of Huaixi Village, and it is good enough for him to take good care of the villagers in his village.
Zhou Yong held his ground, and finally the 100,000 yuan was reduced to 50,000 yuan.
How could he do that? After his unremitting efforts, with Xu Jianmin's assistance, Zhou Yong secured 80,000 yuan in funding for Huaixi Village.
As soon as he got back, he started writing a funding plan, and the next day he asked Sun Qing to go to the county to submit the funding plan.
The remaining matters need to follow the process. Even if the funds are approved before the end of the year, the allocation will be next year.
The weather in October was chilly in the morning and evening. At night, Zhou Yong washed his feet and went to bed early.
In the second half of the night, Zhou Yong was awakened by the sound of knocking on the window, and he sat up.
Under the faint moonlight, Zhou Yong gently lifted a corner of the curtain and was shocked to find that the person standing outside the window was Cheng Zhigang.
