Faced with questions about the price, Wu Changfeng sighed softly.
Haven't you figured out my intention yet?
Wu Changfeng asked, "If the tricycle is classified as agricultural machinery, will it be eligible for a subsidy?"
Everyone nodded in agreement; there was nothing wrong with it, this policy was supported by the government.
No one dared to say anything.
but……
Even with subsidies, it's still not cheap.
Other tractor manufacturers sell to villages and farms.
The outdated equipment then flowed into the hands of ordinary people, as they generally couldn't afford the more expensive tractors.
Then Wu Changfeng turned to President Qiao and said with a smile, "President Qiao, if it's agricultural machinery, then your rural credit cooperative can issue loans, right?"
President Qiao was taken aback.
Holy crap.
So you were waiting for me here?
This line of thinking...
That's absolutely amazing!
President Qiao was momentarily speechless: "This... I need to discuss this with the leadership team; I can't give you a precise answer."
Wu Changfeng knew this would be the outcome, and then said to County Chief Guo, "County Chief Guo, this tricycle uses technology that is leading the country."
"To put it simply, in the future, farmers can sell their own fruits and vegetables and return on the same day."
"Time is money. We no longer need to waste time on the road, and we also avoid the fruit and vegetables from rotting."
"Doesn't this generate income for farmers?"
"Not to mention transporting fertilizer and seeds during the busy farming season, and going to the city to find work and haul goods during the off-season, it's killing two birds with one stone, isn't it?"
"When farmers have money in their hands, it will boost consumption, and all kinds of goods in our county can be sold, which will improve the economy."
Am I right?
Although County Chief Guo thought Wu Changfeng's statement was somewhat one-sided.
But it contains some truth to it.
He nodded: "More or less."
Wu Changfeng laughed and said, "Then you'll have to do a lot more work on President Qiao's side."
President Qiao was shocked. "Damn, he put the county magistrate above me with just a few words?"
It must be said that credit unions do indeed provide loans to farmers.
However, since this is the first time a loan has been issued for a product like a tricycle, the leadership team definitely needs to discuss it.
It might even have to be reported to the provincial capital for a decision.
After all, a tricycle can be considered a type of car, or it can be considered agricultural machinery.
This is the most difficult thing to do.
County Chief Guo waved his hand: "As for whether tricycles are agricultural machinery, I will naturally ask the Ministry of Agriculture to study it. As for loans, that falls under the jurisdiction of the credit union, and I believe that Director Qiao will come up with a detailed plan."
President Qiao rolled his eyes: "When it comes to money, we need to be careful. Give me two days."
Wu Changfeng nodded.
Afterwards, everyone took a walk around the workshop.
At noon, the cafeteria cooked a few dishes separately, and after everyone ate, they left one after another.
Liu Tiao then took a moment to say to Wu Changfeng, "So you're planning to get farmers to take out loans to buy cars? Do you think they'll dare?"
Wu Changfeng smiled and said, "What's there to be afraid of? When a tool becomes indispensable, you have to grit your teeth and buy it. What's more, it can also create value, and you don't have to pay for it yourself."
The willow branches shrugged.
A few days later.
County Chief Guo, accompanied by officials from the Ministry of Agriculture, visited the Qimingxing factory.
Among them was an old acquaintance, Director Wang, who had led the team at the agricultural machinery exhibition in Japan.
The two shook hands upon meeting, and Director Wang smiled and said, "I didn't expect to meet you again."
County Chief Guo exclaimed in surprise, "You two know each other?"
Wu Changfeng said, "I know him. I went to the agricultural machinery exhibition in Japan, and I owe it all to Director Wang for his help."
"It's not a matter of taking care of him," Director Wang said with a smile. "Comrade Changfeng is young and promising."
A group of people set off for a mountain village in Chishui County.
At that time, the country's infrastructure was far less developed than it is now. Apart from national and provincial highways, there were no decent roads. In mountainous and remote areas, it was difficult to find a road.
As they approached the mountain village, they could no longer travel by car.
The road began to bump and become uneven.
After getting off the bus, Wu Changfeng had already prepared several tricycles on the way into the mountains.
The roads in the mountains are already difficult to travel, and the feeling of sitting on a farm tricycle is not pleasant. The bumpy ride makes your buttocks hurt, so many people simply don't ride in the vehicle and instead squat on it, which is more comfortable.
Wu Changfeng swayed up and down, saying, "Director Wang, look at this road. It's just a road surface that was dug out from the hillside and compacted. It can't be called a road at all."
"But this road is the only way to the outside world."
"Not to mention cars, even tractors can't turn around when they come in."
Director Wang looked at the mountain road, stroked his chin, and objected: "That's not right, a tractor can definitely get in."
“What if we were to attach a trailer?” Wu Changfeng pointed to a sharp bend: “Look here, a trailer can’t get through at all, the bend is too small.”
"Look at the No. 3 bus under our backside, it moves around easily and turns directly over."
Director Wang looked back and saw the winding mountain road, then his expression suddenly changed to one of realization.
"I understand now. This kind of agricultural tricycle has a small turning radius, so it's much more maneuverable than a tractor or a car in the mountains! This thing really is a godsend for transportation in the mountains!"
Wu Changfeng nodded: "Therefore, this kind of tricycle is definitely a great tool for farmers to travel."
Although Director Wang agreed, he still said, "It still depends on the specific results. For just getting around, a bicycle is also an option, but we also need to consider the load capacity."
"As far as I know, none of the tricycles on the market have considered applying for agricultural machinery subsidies, so I'm asking for some to avoid any future disputes."
