Chapter 427 Are you here to ask us to invest in making a movie?
Hearing the voice, Zhou Yong looked towards the door of the conference room and an old lady in her sixties came into his sight.
"she is?"
Li Ming pursed his lips and said with difficulty: "He is my third aunt."
His third aunt's family moved to Huaixi Village later. The old lady rarely went out and just did some housework at home, so Zhou Yong felt unfamiliar with her.
Zhou Yong said "oh", and while the two were talking, Li Ming's third aunt came to them crying.
"Village head, my kid made a mistake and was expelled. He deserves it. I, an old woman, have nothing to say about this. Please don't let our family move away..."
Zhou Yong looked at Li Ming's third aunt and pursed his lips slightly: "Even if your family doesn't move out of Huaixi Village, do you think you can continue to live in the village?"
Li Ming's third aunt thought about things very simply. She believed that even if her son lost his job, their whole family could make a living by picking mountain products, farming and financing.
But she didn't know that the various new policies just introduced by the brigade had already blocked her fantasized way out.
Even if the whole family does not move away, the brigade will not allow such families with bad records to obtain financing, in order to prevent such incidents from happening again.
Zhou Yong's words made Li Ming's third aunt a little unsteady. The old lady staggered, slapped her thigh, sat on the ground and started crying.
Li Ming sighed and helped his third aunt up from the ground.
Zhou Yong glanced at the women, then stood up and left with his notebook.
"Village Chief, don't leave, please?"
Amidst the calls from Li Ming's third aunt, Zhou Yong left the meeting room without looking back.
"Li Ming, what should we do?"
"Third Aunt, this matter is ultimately my cousin's fault. If he hadn't been greedy, how could things have developed to this point..."
After Li Ming's persuasion, his third aunt went back crying, and many people in the brigade talked about this matter.
Li Ming could only listen. Although everyone's words were not directed at him, those suspected of corruption were all his relatives after all.
Li Ming finally learned his lesson from this incident, and this time he recruited workers according to the brigade's employment order.
He even replaced his relatives in the team one by one and moved them to other departments to make management easier.
Otherwise, everyone is related to each other and it would be inappropriate to criticize anyone. Zhou Yong fully agrees with Li Ming's approach.
On August 5, Zhou Yong and his whole family embarked on a trip. A few days later, Sun Qing and his family also went on a trip.
The brigade was handed over to Li Ming and Li Hongjun for management. On August 8, two strangers came to the village.
The two men were dressed in suits and their leather shoes were polished to a shine. They both looked like wealthy or noble people.
After talking, Li Hongjun and Li Mingcai learned that they were staff members of a certain film studio and wanted to shoot a movie in Huaixi Village.
One of them called himself He Kai and was in his forties, and the other called himself Tang Shijun and was in his thirties.
Both of them were very talkative and behaved very cultured. Even Li Ming and Li Hongjun could not understand what they said.
"We are filming a movie in your village, which is a good thing for your village. It can not only promote your village, but also boost your village's economy..."
Li Hongjun and Li Ming had never encountered such a thing before, and for a moment they didn't know how to continue the conversation with each other.
He Kai took in their reactions and continued with a smile, "We did some research before coming here and we know that your village has many industries. If we can sell your products all over the country, Huaixi Village will usher in a different situation..."
Li Hongjun and Li Ming were confused. They looked at each other and continued to listen to He Kai's talk.
“You mean, you want to shoot a movie in our village, and then our village will give you money?”
He Kai smiled and said, "The money is for advertising. If you don't want to advertise, you don't have to spend it. But you can invest in the movies we shoot..."
Li Hongjun frowned, Li Ming looked at He Kai and Tang Shijun, and pointed out their real intention in one sentence: "You are here to ask us to invest in a movie, right?"
He Kai smiled and said, "You are right to understand it. I can assure you that the movie we shoot will be popular all over the country..."
Li Ming looked away from them: "We can't make the decision on this matter because the village chief is on a business trip. We need to wait for him to come back before we can discuss the investment with you..."
"I wonder when the village chief will be back?"
"Before the end of the month."
Tang Shijun and He Kai looked at each other. After a moment of silence, He Kai said with a smile: "In that case, we will take our leave first..."
Neither Li Ming nor Li Hongjun kept them, and the two quickly left the Huaixi Village Brigade.
The next day, the two of them came again, saying that they wanted to conduct a field investigation in order to plan how to shoot the film.
Let’s just inspect it. Li Ming and Li Hongjun didn’t say anything. They just wandered around the village.
Zhou Yong called back that day and Li Ming told him what happened.
At that time, Zhou Yong felt that something was wrong. Although Huaixi Village was wealthy, it was not wealthy enough to be known throughout the country and it was impossible for it to attract the attention of a certain film studio.
Zhou Yong immediately asked Li Ming to stop their investigation and asked Li Hongjun to find someone to go to the film studio they mentioned to investigate their background.
Li Hongjun had just sent people out to investigate their background, and then He Kai wanted to hire the Huaixi Village Transport Team to run a trip on the pretext of transporting film equipment.
Seeing that the other party paid them, Li Ming and Li Hongjun agreed very readily.
"It's not worth it for us to go back with an empty truck. How about this, we take ten trucks of flour back. This way we don't have to spend money on gas on the road..."
"Ten carts of flour? Such a large quantity needs to be ordered in advance. And it must be paid in full. We in Huaixi Village do not do business on credit..."
This is the rule set by Zhou Yong. Transactions with individuals must be settled once for all, and when dealing with the public, accounts can only be delayed once. If the previous account is not settled during the second transaction, the transaction will be terminated immediately.
Neither He Kai nor Tang Shijun had expected that the business in Huaixi Village would be so strong, and they couldn't help but exchange glances.
"We are out and about, how can we carry so much cash? How about this? You can bring the flour over first, and we will pay you when we get there..."
Li Hongjun frowned slightly and glanced at He Kai who said this. Li Ming said, "I'm sorry, we can't do what you ask. This doesn't conform to the rules of our village..."
Tang Shijun smiled and continued, "Rules are dead, but people are alive. Besides, we will leave one person here with you. What are you afraid of?"
Li Ming still shook his head, his tone was very calm: "There is no room for negotiation on this matter. And if you want to buy ten trucks of flour, you need to go to the Grain Bureau to get a transportation certificate and a purchase certificate from your unit..."
Food coupons have not been cancelled. Food is not a commodity that can be traded at will. It must be traded through formal channels.
Faced with the unyielding Li Ming and Li Hongjun, He Kai and Tang Shijun looked at each other again.
“How can we shoot a movie in your village if you are so difficult to talk to?”
Tang Shijun's slightly dissatisfied tone of voice made Li Hongjun laugh.
