Zhao Xiaohai couldn't tell whether Zheng Zhijun had escaped or would come back.
Since I have nothing to do now, I will focus on my own affairs. I have earned tens of thousands of yuan during this period, and I need to turn this floating wealth into real wealth.
The process of transformation is to expand your business.
Now there are two paths before Zhao Xiaohai.
The first way is to expand the scale of the private goods business, import more goods, open up marketing channels, and then occupy the entire Greentown market.
As the capital of Zhongyuan Province, Greentown had a population of nearly 2 million in 1985. The smuggling business made money quickly and it was easy to snowball.
The disadvantage is that it is easy to be attacked, after all, it is in a gray area.
The second way is to develop industry, either by buying a shop near the train station or in the Zhongyuan Farmers' Market, and then developing wholesale and retail businesses. The advantage is that the investment is small and it is easy to expand the wholesale business.
As for the disadvantages, the supply chain and purchasing channels are still unstable, and the purchase price and product style cannot be guaranteed.
Zhao Xiaohai thought about it and combined it with the experience of later generations.
I decided to take a new path, which is to improve the second path, set up a small factory, and then wholesale my own products in the market. This path is the most difficult path, but it is the easiest path to achieve wealth appreciation and preservation.
Now there is no foundation, as long as there is a factory, it can be tied to the local area, and then social relations can be cultivated in depth. In the 1980s, running a factory could be regarded as a political achievement of the township, and administrative resources would be linked to it. Being a middleman means making some money, but it does not have the social status of running a factory, and it does not receive better respect.
Zhao Xiaohai acted immediately and invited the deputy mayor of Xingfu Town and the party secretary and village chief of Xingfu Village to dinner together.
The seat of Xingfu Town is Xingfu Village. These township and village cadres are all acquaintances, so it is not difficult to invite them.
Zhao Xiaohai booked a private room at the best restaurant in town and greeted everyone at the restaurant entrance early in the morning.
At noon, several cadres arrived on time. In the 1980s, many grassroots cadres believed that "life is all about eating and drinking." When someone invited them to dinner, they would naturally rush to eat.
After everyone was seated and exchanged a few pleasantries, Deputy Mayor Feng, who was sitting in the main seat, took the order.
Deputy Mayor Feng must be a regular here. He didn't even look at the menu and just ordered the dishes casually, and also asked for a few bottles of good wine.
"Leader, the dishes are all here. Let me toast you and wish you great wealth and honor. I'll drink first as a token of my respect." After Zhao Xiaohai finished speaking, he tilted his head back and drank the whole glass of wine.
The wine wasn't very good, and there was a burning sensation as the liquid went down my throat and spread all the way to my stomach.
Seeing that Zhao Xiaohai was so sensible, Deputy Mayor Feng stretched out his right hand, patted the air, and spoke.
"Sit down, sit down, Xiao Zhao, you don't have to be so polite."
Zhao Xiaohai filled Deputy Mayor Feng's glass, and the two clinked glasses before sitting down.
"Xiao Zhao, I see that your store is doing well. You are a smart young man." Deputy Mayor Feng drank without changing his expression. He has been an alcoholic for a long time and has long been immune to white wine.
"Thank you for your kindness, leaders. My small shop is just a way to make a living. If I want to respond to national policies and develop the economy, I still need to open a factory. I think our Zhongyuan Province is a major agricultural province, so there is definitely a future for producing non-staple foods. I want to report my plan to open a factory to the leaders and hope to get their support."
Zhao Xiaohai didn't hide anything. Since he was treating him, he had to express his thoughts. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of money?
Deputy Mayor Feng and the village cadres of Xingfu Village looked at each other, and then spoke slowly.
"It's a good idea to open a factory. Policies from above support it. Economic development is a national policy of our country, especially the development of township enterprises. The country attaches great importance to it. Xingfu Town also has several factories, which have helped the town solve many of the rural-to-industrial transition targets. How many people are you planning to hire for this factory?"
Zhao Xiaohai understood that this was intended to solve the employment problem of the families of leading cadres.
In the 1980s, factories had limited vacancies for recruiting workers, especially state-owned factories, and it was extremely difficult to get a job.
The children and relatives of leading cadres all think that since their relatives are leaders, they must have ways to solve the problem. If they can't solve it, it means they don't take it to heart.
Grassroots leading cadres are also in a dilemma, mainly because they have limited power and it is impossible for them to handle all the requests from relatives and friends. Therefore, some township enterprises will recruit the family members of leaders to provide employment.
After all, China is a society based on personal relationships, and everyone is a node in the network of relationships.
"I plan to invest 50,000 yuan to set up two production lines to produce non-staple foods, and I plan to employ more than 30 employees. Of course, if the leaders have good candidates, they can be given priority in hiring." Zhao Xiaohai said.
It doesn't matter who you hire, so it might be a good idea to recruit a few leaders' family members to build closer relationships.
Seeing that Zhao Xiaohai was so understanding, Deputy Mayor Feng nodded in appreciation and spoke.
"My unsuccessful second son has been sitting around the house all day since he graduated from high school. Letting him come over to watch the gate for you is better than having a dog. A dog can't even sweep the floor, but he can watch the gate, sweep the floor, and keep things clean."
It was obvious that Deputy Mayor Feng was being modest, and Zhao Xiaohai would not take it head-on.
"What are you talking about? This factory will need your care in the future. I'm just worried about where to find talent. I will definitely make use of the talent you recommend to me. He will be my brother when he comes to the factory in the future."
After a round of drinking, the village cadres also introduced their own people to work in the factory.
The village party secretary's daughter-in-law wanted to work in the factory's logistics department, and the village chief's cousin wanted to be a formal worker in the factory. Zhao Xiaohai agreed to all of their requests.
Seeing that Zhao Xiaohai was so reasonable, everyone's atmosphere suddenly changed.
When Zhao Xiaohai wanted to use 3 mu of land in the town as factory land, Deputy Mayor Feng immediately asked.
"Xiao Zhao, I just heard that this is only the first phase of your project. You plan to expand it in the future. There are still a lot of construction land use rights in the town. You should buy more land to save trouble later."
Zhao Xiaohai understood that the town wanted to sell the land. There has been a rumor that Xingfu Town will be merged into the urban area, but there has been no movement after several years of rumors.
However, in terms of the scale of the later Green City urban area, Xingfu Town has long been part of the urban area.
The more land you buy now, the more money you will make later.
The town is in a hurry to sell the land because it is worried that Xingfu Town will be annexed by the urban area. Once it belongs to the urban area, the money from the land sale will be centrally arranged by the finance department, unlike now when the money from the land sale goes directly into the town government's small treasury.
The finances at all levels are tight, and everyone is trying to find ways to increase fiscal revenue. Whoever collects the money owns it. Every town leader has been given a land sales target, and will be punished if they fail to meet it.
Zhao Xiaohai tentatively asked how much land could be given, and the answer he got was that he could get as much as he wanted.
Finally, we settled on 10 mu of land at a price of 7,000 yuan per mu. The price can be negotiated for further increase.
Zhao Xiaohai began to figure out how to make his money work, as he had to buy the land.
The more you buy now, the richer you will be in the future!
