Chapter 40: Making Plans



"Just ask if there's anything."

Zhang Hai cleared his throat. "The first two brigades held a meeting and conveyed some of the spirit from above. It means encouraging each village to develop side businesses and explore ways to get rich."

Wan Feng was a little puzzled. Although the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee had been held a long time ago, it seemed that the full opening up of the countryside would still take some time. Was it too early to start now? According to his memory, the real household contract responsibility system and the opening up of various regions should have started in 1983!

Is there a confusion in time?

But what does it have to do with him that the higher-ups encourage them to get rich?

"This doesn't seem to have anything to do with me, right? This is your big deal, why did you call me here?"

"Here's what happened. Yesterday, Liang Wan, I saw you selling broken glass. I saw everything you did after you arrived at Wa, from renting out your rented books to selling broken glass. I think you have a pretty good financial sense, so I'd like you to give us some advice."

Give them advice?

Wan Feng was sure that there must be something wrong with his ears, or there must be something wrong with Zhang Hai's mouth.

Isn't this a big deal? You adults are asking a kid like me to come up with ideas, and this is so ridiculous that it's even spread all over the Pacific Ocean.

But Zhang Hai has a good vision. You can see a piece of gold even if it is buried so deep in the soil.

"You want me to help you come up with ideas? Are you sure this isn't a bad idea?"

"To be honest, I've been the team leader since last year, and I've really wanted to lead the people of Wahou to a good life. Last year, we finally got rid of the label of embezzlement, so I wanted to do something to make our lives better. But the natural conditions in Wahou are like this. There's not much land and it's not fertile. I feel like I can't dig up anything to eat from the soil, but because of the limitations of my brain, I really can't come up with any ideas."

Zhang Hai's words were very sincere.

"Does this connect to me?"

"I'm optimistic about you. I always feel like you have something in your head. Please help me think of a solution. Even if it's not for others, then for your uncle. He's getting married next year. How can he help you marry your aunt if he doesn't have money? The entire Wahou team is watching you."

This depth pulled out Wan Feng's aunt, and this height pulled in all the people in the village.

Now that he has both the depth and height, it seems that he would be letting down the people behind the depression if he doesn't come up with something.

This hat seems to be too big.

How could they believe a child's nonsense?

Wan Feng pondered for a while and nodded. It was just an idea.

"What advantages do you have?"

Zhang Hai shook his head: "You've been in Wahou for two or three months now. You've seen what Wahou is like. There aren't many conditions."

Wan Feng thought for a moment and explained, "What are my requirements, such as loans, personnel, and venues?"

As soon as the problem became specific, Zhang Hai suddenly understood.

"Wahou's greatest resource is manpower. We have an ample workforce and vacant space. As for money, we can borrow a certain amount from a credit union. The higher authorities will support the loan up to a certain amount."

If you have manpower and space, you can get a loan. The three most important conditions have been met.

All that's left is the project.

Wan Feng's brain started working.

The scale of village-run enterprises was too large at the beginning. Adhering to the basic principle of quick return on investment, the products had to be practical and simple to manufacture, and most importantly, they had to be suitable for the existing natural conditions of Wahou Village.

One project after another flashed through Wan Feng's mind like a train. Many of them were out of date. After a few minutes, three projects stayed.

After reorganizing his thoughts in his mind, Wan Feng asked for a notebook and a pen, and wrote a few words on the notebook: cement tiles, red bricks, and drinks.

Then Wan Feng began to introduce: "I have selected three projects for you. They are all projects that require small investments and have quick returns. Now I will introduce them one by one, starting with my top pick."

Zhang Hai and the other two immediately became serious, as if they were listening attentively.

"The first project is a cement tile factory. Cement tiles will have a considerable market in the next few years. Although it won't be enough to make a lot of money, it shouldn't be a problem for the people in the Wahou team to get a few dozen more yuan each year."

Zhang Hai and the accountant Liang Wan looked at each other in bewilderment. At the moment, they really had no impression of asbestos tiles.

"Rural houses are all thatched with straw these days. Can we afford to replace them with tiles?"

Nowadays, most houses in rural areas are thatched houses, and it is already quite amazing if the eaves can be made of tiles.

"Commodities are highly uncertain. You might think they have no market, but they might actually be huge sellers. You all know the principle of department stores catering to all kinds of customers, right?"

Three-headed.

"You may think it's too expensive to replace, but there are definitely people who can afford it. Add factories and mines, and this represents a huge market. As long as we can capture this part of the business, we'll be able to generate a substantial profit. As times progress and people's living standards improve, all houses will be tiled in the future."

As a person who traveled back from the future, Wan Feng knows the real life in rural areas in the future. Not only tiled houses but also buildings are everywhere.

Of course, you can't count on the countryside for the time being. You should mainly do business with factories and mines, which are the big players.

"The space and initial investment required to set up a tile factory are small. The materials for cement tiles are cement and sand, which are readily available at the county cement factory, and sand is plentiful along the Yinna River. We only need to make a set of tile-making molds, which the mold commune machinery factory can easily produce."

Zhang Hai nodded in agreement.
