Chapter 188
Although Liu Zhiliang was elected village chief, Xia Juhua spent a year helping him become familiar with the work process and master external relations before she completely withdrew from the management of the village. At the same time, she also resigned from the position of director of the cooperative factory, as well as other positions such as deputy director and technical director of various factories.
Although the factories were somewhat unwilling, Xia Juhua's attitude was unprecedentedly firm. Apart from retaining the shares of the factories, she no longer interfered in other matters - if they were to withdraw, they had to withdraw cleanly, and she would only live on the dividends in the future.
Do you really think her dividend is small?
Ten percent from the vermicelli factory, 6.5 percent from the instant noodle factory, ten percent from the cooperative factory, and fifteen percent from the transport team, all brought Xia Juhua an income of more than 100,000 yuan last year, not counting the agricultural and trade markets that Weidong has built everywhere.
In addition to Chengping City (the region has been changed into a city) and the provincial capital that Xia Juhua reminded him of that year, that guy adopted the strategy of building agricultural and trade markets as long as he could make money, and did not let go of other areas in the province. Now he has almost built all the cities.
Although the land allocated to him by various cities is almost at the edge of the city or the suburbs, Qi Weidong does not mind at all: compared with the existing agricultural and trade markets in various regions, his advantage lies in the supply of goods. As long as the supply is sufficient, the goods are rich, and the delivery is guaranteed, those merchants are willing to rent a place in his agricultural and trade market even if it is a little far away. There is no worry about renting the place, making a profit from the price difference of the goods, and making a profit from the delivery of the goods. Qi Weidong will not make money too quickly.
For Xia Juhua, who had been investing all the time, Qi Weidong's making money was equivalent to her making money - in the first two years, Qi Weidong had given Xia Juhua dividends in cash from the money she had invested in him. But within three years, the guy directly gave Xia Juhua a contract stating that Xia Juhua would own 20% of the shares in the agricultural and trade market, and he would not even give Xia Juhua a share of the dividends.
The money she had invested in Qi Weidong totaled about hundreds of thousands, accounting for 20% of the county's agricultural and trade market. Xia Juhua felt that the loss would not be too much, so she acquiesced to the share distribution, but did not give the dividends from other factories to Qi Weidong the next year.
As a result, the boy, his wife and children finished their meal and sat there, not leaving. He kept looking at Xia Juhua, which made Xia Juhua ask, "Why, do you want to stay for another meal?"
Qi Weidong looked at Xia Juhua with some complaint and said, "Auntie, why don't you give me money this year? I made a bet with my wife that you have to invest at least 50,000 this year."
Xia Juhua made him laugh out loud: "Haven't we divided the shares clearly? You have 80% and I have 20%. I went to the county a few days ago and felt that the agricultural and trade market can be used for at least another 20 years. We can just wait to collect dividends in the future. Why do we have to invest 50,000 yuan?" You want me to invest money without paying dividends. Do you really think I'm stupid?
Qi Weidong's wife clapped her hands happily, "You deserve it. I told you to write it clearly in the contract so that Auntie wouldn't misunderstand. Auntie still misunderstood. Auntie is just being kind and still taking care of your meals. If it were me, I would have kicked you out with a big stick a long time ago."
Xia Juhua was even more confused after hearing this and had to ask Qi Weidong to explain it to her. Only then did she realize that what Qi Weidong meant in the contract was that Xia Juhua would own 20% of the shares of all the agricultural and trade markets built by him, no matter where they were located.
Xia Juhua was shocked at the time: "Is this how you sign contracts with other people? Then return the money to me, and I won't invest with you. You might lose all your money one day."
Qi Weidong looked at his wife and laughed, then asked Xia Juhua not to worry. He only signed the contract with Xia Juhua in this way because he was afraid that Xia Juhua would not accept the shares of the foreign agricultural and trade market - the idea was proposed by Xia Juhua, and Xia Juhua never received any dividends afterwards, and even made additional investments. Qi Weidong felt that he was not doing her a favor by giving her 20%.
She only invested less than 200,000 yuan, but she was going to acquire 20% of the shares of the agricultural and trade markets throughout the province. Even though Xia Juhua had always wanted a retirement life of collecting rent and drinking tea without worrying about having money to spend, she still felt that Qi Weidong was giving too much.
However, Qi Weidong smiled and refused to redistribute the shares: "Auntie, people are talking about technology investment now. You gave me the idea of building an agricultural market, which is technology investment. Logically, I should give you 50%, but I have a few people behind me, so I have to give them some, so you have to bear the loss."
Since she couldn't refuse, Xia Juhua could only continue to invest. But Qi Weidong refused, saying that the money earned in a year was enough to build a new agricultural market, and there would be no need for additional investment in the future. He asked Xia Juhua to keep the money and build a new house quickly: "You are the only brigade cadres left in the village who still live in adobe houses. Do you think it will affect the appearance of the village?"
So even though she hasn't seen the dividends from the agricultural and trade market yet, Xia Juhua is not in a hurry at all, and she even counts this as her biggest capital - if Qi Weidong wanted to deceive her, she would have accepted the 20% of the money from the county agricultural and trade market at first, without having to take the initiative to say it was 20% of all the markets.
Moreover, since the dissolution of the supply and marketing cooperative, the Chengping City Agricultural Trade Market was handed over to Liu Zhishuang for management by Qi Weidong, and the one in the provincial capital was handed over to Liu Zhiquan for management. In his words, he can rest assured that his family can use it.
Whether it was because she felt that the Liu Zhiquan brothers were her family, or because she was afraid that Xia Juhua would be upset because her two sons had no jobs, Xia Juhua knew what was going on and had to tell Qi Weidong to give 10% of her shares in the two markets to the two boys so that they would not have to be paid separately.
The shares were divided, but Qi Weidong paid all the wages owed to Liu Zhiquan and his brother. In his words, he and Xia Juhua had cooperated for many years, and the mutual trust between them meant that they didn't have to settle accounts every year. The two brothers didn't cooperate with him much, so it was better for them to settle the money clearly.
Xia Juhua thought about it and acquiesced. Even brothers would settle accounts clearly. Qi Weidong and Liu Zhiquan were at most a little more familiar with each other than others, but they were far from being brothers, so it didn't matter if they settled accounts clearly.
Just as I was thinking about the difference between Qi Weidong and Liu Zhiquan, Qi Weidong called out to someone at the door: "Auntie, I heard that you are completely done with this. Come on, I'll take you to the area tomorrow."
Xia Juhua was really puzzled: "You have an informant in Ping An Village, right? How come you know when there is a little movement here?"
Qi Weidong was still the same as before, grinning before speaking: "I don't have any informants, but I still find time to call and ask about the situation every day. How about it, auntie, do you feel relaxed and want to take a walk around?"
After hearing what he said, Xia Juhua was really moved. She had never been to Chengping area in her entire life. In this life, she had been pulling carts like an old ox for more than ten years. Now it was a good idea to put down the burden on her shoulders and walk around.
However, she did not want to go to Chengping with Qi Weidong, but told him: "You are useless. You sent me away in the last Chengping City. I want to go to the capital to watch the national flag raising, see the □□, and see the old man!"
Qi Weidong gave Xia Juhua a thumbs up and said, "Auntie, how else can I convince you? Just because you dare to think so, everyone is convinced. Okay, it's just going to the capital, I'll go with you."
"Why should I follow you? If you go with us, where will we sisters go?" Zhao Xianzhi's loud voice came from the door, followed by Chang Xiancao, An Baoling, Li Daya, and Zhang Cuiping, who looked resentful.
Xia Juhua was confused and couldn't understand: "Why are you all here? The weaving factory is not in charge? It won't take me long to go to the capital. I'll bring you whatever you want."
An Baoling said to her sister-in-law, "I don't need you to bring me anything. What you bring back is not as good as what I choose myself. I want to choose it myself."
Chang Xiancao nodded and said, "It is said that the old man can still be seen in the capital. I have to burn some incense for him."
Zhao Xianzhi hurriedly stopped her sister-in-law and said, "You can't talk about burning incense. Haven't you seen what is shown on TV? People only offer flowers, not burning incense."
"That's fine, we'll also give flowers to tell the old man that we are living a good life now and he shouldn't worry about us anymore."
Zhang Cuiping almost cried: "You are too bullying."
Xia Juhua noticed that something was wrong with her expression and asked, "What's wrong with them?"
"Auntie, please judge for yourself. In the past year, they have all singled out the deputy team leader, saying that they are too old to do the work well, and that if there is anything, the deputy team leader can take charge. I think I am still young, so it doesn't matter if I do more."
"Who knew that once you said you were going to quit, they all said they would quit, saying that they had already learned how to be deputy team leaders and could lead people to do the work themselves. But you left me alone in the weaving factory. How could this not be bullying? I also want to go to the capital, and I also want to give flowers to the old man."
Zhao Xianzhi smiled and advised Zhang Cuiping: "I will help you present your kindness to the old man."
An Baoling also said: "You said you are young now, there will be a day for you to take a vacation. When the time comes, let Qiu Sheng take a vacation with you. You two can go together to give flowers to the old man. It is more interesting than going with us old ladies."
Zhang Cuiping: Don’t bully others like this.
Xia Juhua smiled as she looked at the old sisters who had been with her for more than ten years. She was deeply moved, but still asked with some concern: "What about your family? What about the children?" They all have grandchildren, so how can they leave?
Several people shook their heads in unison: "There is a kindergarten, so everyone should go to kindergarten."
Qi Weidong, who had originally proposed the idea but was now pushed aside, counted the number of people and asked, "Auntie, how many tickets should I buy? How about I take you to the provincial capital and you can take a plane from there?"
The people from Zhaoxian Village were naturally excited. They remembered that Xia Juhua had taken a plane that year, and they all wanted to experience whether it was true as she said, that they would vomit all over the place as soon as they got on the plane - they never got motion sickness when riding in a car, unlike Xia Juhua who sometimes got motion sickness.
I can't compare to Xia Juhua in other aspects, but it's good that I can compare to her in terms of function.
The people who saw them off all curled their lips in dissatisfaction as they watched the two Santanas leave. Li Changwang said bitterly, "These women are going to follow the captain to heaven."
Liu Sanzhuang thought positively: "They have already followed the captain to heaven a long time ago. How come you only found out about it in recent years?"
Indeed, if these women had not insisted on recommending Xia Juhua as the production team leader, they would not have been able to live a life where every family had a second floor and no one lacked money. In fact, they followed Xia Juhua to heaven.

Copywriting: Deng Linlang, who had just traveled into a period novel, thought she was the chosen one!
I have tried various methods but couldn't go back. Deng Linlang thinks this is just what I want: I am familiar with the story process, I have been baptized by the knowledge explosion, and it is no longer a dream to call the wind and rain. Here I come, the richest man in the world!
Wait, she discovered that there was something wrong with the time, the object, the environment, everything.
This makes Deng Linlang realize that she is not the chosen one, but a vicious female supporting role who travels through time to accompany the female lead. In order to return to the city, her original self has completed a series of operations, such as trying to seduce the male lead, attempting to destroy the image of the female lead, colluding with the male villain to frame the male and female leads, etc. She will soon face a huge gap between success and failure. In the end, she returns to the city in disgrace with the returning army, but she cannot even find a job. A miserable end is just around the corner!
Deng Linlang showed a devilish smile: It is impossible to be miserable, it is impossible to be miserable for the rest of my life.
Because of the things that my original self did when he wanted to return to the city, you isolated me, ridiculed me, and pinned all the bad things on me, hoping that I would leave in disgrace?
Deng Linlang has a bad temper! I want to stay here, so that you can't eat well, sleep well, or get into college. It's okay for you to watch her carry the Taobao system and stay here to build a new socialist countryside.
The production team has no production tools?
There are used products in the Taobao system. Can I buy them without having to work?
Is the production team still using self-saved seeds?
The yield is too low, would you like Deng Linlang's high-yield seeds? If you can let Deng Linlang eat well first, you can choose the high-yield seeds.
Buy! Buy! Buy! Everyone in the county knows that as long as you tell her the name, the educated youth named Deng Linlang will buy it for you. But she will ask for conditions. You have to think about whether you can accept it.
This article has a big golden finger. The heroine only works hard for herself, and changing her backward appearance is just a by-product.
