Chapter 389: A 2.2 Billion Project
After listening to what his mother-in-law said, Zhou Yong made a rough estimate in his mind that if he invested 5,000 yuan, he would at least get a dividend of 1,000 yuan.
As soon as he said this, Zhang Guifang and Li Caiyun were stunned.
"If that's the case, then if we invest 10,000 yuan, won't we get a 2,000 yuan bonus?"
Zhou Yong nodded thoughtfully, Li Caiyun's mouth curled up happily, and Zhang Guifang muttered to herself: "This is much more cost-effective than carrying the money out..."
You can earn some interest by lending the money, but the interest rates for loans are very low these days, generally around 5%.
Some families also set the interest rate at one cent. Unless they are in urgent need of the money, most people will not borrow money at such a high interest rate.
Li Caiyun smiled and said, "Zhou Yong, will the project raise funds next year? If so, how about our family investing 15,000 yuan?"
They invested 10,000 yuan and made a profit of 2,000 yuan, which is almost as much as the couple's annual salary.
Zhou Yong looked at Li Caiyun and said, "We don't make much money from financing, so we'll do some business on our own next year..."
Upon hearing this, Li Caiyun couldn't help but frown: "Doing business on your own? What kind of business?"
Zhou Yong smiled and said: "Let's open a restaurant..."
Li Caiyun looked at him and said, "You and I both work, how can we have time to run a restaurant?"
If you don’t have time to run the business yourself, you can hire someone to manage it.
You don't have to do everything yourself. As long as you have a good grasp of the overall situation, you can make money no matter how you do business.
Li Caiyun nodded slightly: "But who should we hire to manage it?"
Zhou Yong already has a candidate in mind, and he plans to cooperate with Cao Lai to open a restaurant.
"Cao Lai? Don't they own a restaurant?"
Despite the opposition from Cao Biao and his wife, Cao Lai and Li Dan finally opened the restaurant as they wished.
But the restaurant business they opened has been lukewarm. Zhou Yong heard from Cao Biao that even so, the couple still did not plan to go back to work.
Because of this incident, Cao Biao was almost furious, and Zhao Chunhua had no way to deal with the couple.
Li Hongjun and his wife also became angry, but no matter whether it was Li Dan or Cao Lai, despite their young age, the couple were both people with their own ideas.
"Their restaurant is open, can they cooperate with us?"
Zhou Yong smiled and said, "Yes!"
Li Caiyun curled her lips: "Not necessarily?"
After Li Dancaolai restaurant opened, Zhou Yong had gone there to eat a few times. The food tasted great, but the couple didn't know how to run a business, so the business fell into its current state.
If Zhou Yong were to cooperate with them, he would first add more dishes and then promote them vigorously. In this way, there is no reason why the business would not be popular.
Li Caiyun listened to Zhou Yong's eloquent words and said, "After hearing what you said, I am moved."
Zhou Yong is definitely good at fooling people, especially Li Caiyun. For him, it is a piece of cake...
Three days later, at around eight o'clock in the morning, the radio made a crackling sound, notifying a group of villagers to go to the brigade with their financing contracts to share their dividends.
After the broadcast, the villagers of Huaixi Village were excited. The villagers living in Team 1 immediately took their contracts and went to the brigade.
Li Hongjun was responsible for maintaining order, and the villagers lined up with smiles on their faces to receive their money.
"Village chief, my family invested 15,000 yuan, how much money can I get?"
Zhou Yong smiled and said, "Don't worry, you'll know soon..."
The villagers nodded happily and stretched their necks to look at the situation ahead.
The first villager received the principal and dividends. He invested 5,000 yuan and received 1,000 yuan in dividends.
"You got so much money? Did you count it correctly?"
"How is that possible? This is the principal, and this is the dividend money..."
Everyone was getting excited and started calculating how much money they could get.
It took six consecutive days for the money to be distributed. Li Hongjun was so happy that he grinned and couldn't close his mouth.
Li Hongjun invested a total of 45,000 yuan and received 9,000 yuan in dividends.
He raised 30,000 yuan from his four brothers-in-law and distributed 4,000 yuan in dividends to them.
Even so, Li Hongjun still made 5,000 yuan, and he can be said to be the biggest winner of this financing.
A few days after the dividend distribution was completed, many villagers came to the team to ask about financing for the coming year.
"We need to raise funds, but we have to wait until after the Chinese New Year..."
Huaixi Village has completed five projects this year, and only three projects have been signed for next year. Even if it raises funds, it will not be able to raise much money.
Just as Zhou Yong made his statement, Chen Pingliang called him two days later.
The Qingmu County Highway Bureau was preparing to build a road. Chen Pingliang was a close friend of the bureau's head, so he planned to give the road construction project to the Huaixi Village Construction Company.
Zhou Yong didn't expect that such a good thing was waiting for him. After hanging up the phone with Chen Pingliang, he took Sun Qing to the county town.
After meeting the head of the Highway Bureau, both sides had a very pleasant conversation. However, after leaving the Highway Bureau, the smiles on Zhou Yong and Sun Qing's faces gradually disappeared.
On the phone, Chen Pingliang only said that there was a road construction project for him to do, but he did not say how big the project was or how much investment it would require.
When he came, Zhou Yong mistakenly thought it was a project worth several million, but after chatting he found out it was a project worth 2.2 billion.
The Highway Bureau is preparing to build roads from the townships of Qingmu County to the county seat, as well as roads from Qingmu County to the provincial capital.
Especially for this section of road in the provincial capital, the Highway Bureau has strict quality requirements, so the material must not only be pressure-resistant but also durable.
Even if the government advances 55% of the project funds, they will need to advance the remaining 30%, and the balance will not be paid until the project is completed and accepted.
"Brother Zhou, we can't do this project. Even if we advance 30% of the money, we still have to pay more than 600 million..."
Zhou Yong pursed his lips and said, "Yes, if it's six million, then it's more than six hundred million. Even if we have to break our bones, we can still come up with this much money..."
Sun Qing nodded: "Indeed. If the financing can complete this project, every household in Huaixi Village will become rich..."
Zhou Yong's mind was torn: "Let's talk about this when we get back."
In Sun Qing's opinion, there is no turning point in this matter.
Zhou Yong and Sun Qing went to Chen Pingliang's unit and talked about the project.
Chen Pingliang didn't know it was such a big project. It was when they were having a casual meal that the head of the Highway Bureau mentioned it. He thought of Zhou Yong, so he took the job.
"So you can't do this project?"
Sun Qing sat quietly aside, Zhou Yong thought for a moment and said, "Brother Chen, can you get a loan for our village through the bank..."
If we can get a loan of 600 million from the bank, the rest of the things will be easy to solve.
"Loans require asset collateral. Even the assets in Huaixi Village combined don't even add up to 10 million. How dare you dream of borrowing more than 600 million?"
Zhou Yong knew that this was a bit unreasonable, but he didn't want to miss this project.
Assuming the project can be successfully completed, Zhou Yong plans to turn Huaixi Village into a picturesque village.
As Zhou Yong thought about it, images appeared in his mind. Chen Pingliang looked at Zhou Yong who was in a daze and said, "What are you thinking about? You don't even respond when I talk to you."
Zhou Yong came back to his senses and pursed his lips: "Brother Chen, I'm wondering how I can borrow more than 600 million from the bank..."
