Chapter 276 Leader's Visit
Tian Fushun's call was sudden and timely.
After receiving the call, Tian Xin ran to the village committee immediately without even having time to eat.
Before she even entered the yard, she felt a strong sense of oppression. There was a row of cars parked in the wheat field at the entrance, and it seemed that many people had come.
The online store and Cainiao Guoguo were crowded with people. Tian Fushun was touring inside with a few middle-aged men in shirts and short-sleeved shirts, followed by young men.
Several shop owners were standing at the door waiting eagerly. When they saw her appear, they hurried towards her.
"Xinxin, the county leaders are here. I heard they are here to inspect our work! You have to be prepared!" Tian Lei pulled her and reminded her as they walked over.
"I know, Uncle Tian has already informed me!" She turned to Tian Lei and smiled, then patted the back of her hand: "You guys go and do your work, don't worry about me!"
After saying that, he walked towards "Rookie Guoguo".
Several leaders were looking at the dazzling array of goods stacked on the shelves and asked Li Xiaoyan, who was tending the shelves, "How's business? Are you making any money?"
"Yes, boss!" Li Xiaoyan stopped what she was doing and pointed at a few samples hanging on the hangers next to the shelf. "These are the new clothes that Xinxin has developed. They're selling really well! Especially with this new website, there are so many young people who are willing to spend money. Business is much better than before!"
"Yeah, that's good!" the leader said with a smile. He turned around and glanced at the clothes on the rack and asked, "Is this the Hanfu they talked about online?"
"Yes, leader, you know this too?"
"This ad is everywhere, it's hard not to know about it! Hahahaha..." The leader laughed and couldn't help but praise: "Great, young people after all! They have so many ideas."
After saying that, the leader turned around and asked Tian Fushun: "Where's that young comrade? Hasn't he come yet?"
"She's here," Tian Fushun said repeatedly, hunched over. "She just came back from the county. She said the villagers had signed a petition and wanted to try to open this online store with her. She went to take care of this matter!"
"Are there any difficulties?" the leader asked.
"Uh... at the moment, it's not a big problem. A few households may be struggling and lack the start-up capital..."
"How much is missing?"
"Almost 50,000, leader!" Tian Xin came in from the door, ran to the leader in two steps, and said with a smile.
There was no trace of panic on her face, only a calmness that was inconsistent with her age.
This sentence is really too bold! Tian Fushun was shocked, and the words he didn't say were stuck in his throat. He didn't dare to say anything more. He kept winking at Tian Xin, trying to make her shut up.
A large crowd now gathered in the room. Aside from a few shop owners busy shipping goods and tidying up shelves, the rest were all county officials and secretaries, about a dozen in total.
The dozen or so people were caught off guard by Tian Xin's words and stood there in a daze.
But a leader is a leader, even if he has doubts in his heart, his face remains calm. When she came in, the leader who had just asked the question glanced at her up and down, as if asking her with his eyes: Who are you?
Tian Xin saw Tian Fushun's hint out of the corner of her eye, but chose not to shut up.
Seeing that all the leaders were looking at her, she became more calm.
"Hello, leaders. My name is Tian Xin. This year, I'm in charge of leading the villagers in opening online stores. Just now, when you asked, I couldn't help but interrupt. It was really a bit abrupt!"
After she finished speaking, she turned around and looked at Tian Fushun.
"Tian Xin..." The leader repeated her name, his mind quickly searching for memories related to it. After a while, he seemed to come back to his senses, and said to the person next to him with a chuckle, "I remember her. She was the one who took the lead in making those persimmon cakes last year!"
"Yes, yes, that's right!" Tian Fushun nodded and bowed, smiling apologetically, saying repeatedly: "This girl has been spoiled by us old people and speaks without respect!"
"Hey, young people!" The leader smiled and extended his hand towards Tian Xin: "Girl, you are very courageous! It's only been the beginning of the new year, and you've already accomplished something big!"
"No, no, you're too kind!" Tian Xin hurried over to shake the leader's hand. This was such a well-spoken statement that it made her feel so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
Seeing her blushing and embarrassed face, the leader didn't say anything. He smiled, patted her shoulder, and continued his inspection.
After changing the website operation, the space for Cainiao Guoguo was a little insufficient, so they expanded it to the side, which was still a temporary shed made of color steel plates.
It was hot and stuffy inside at this time.
The leaders looked around and then went to the village committee.
In the conference room!
The leaders sat in a circle, the one who had just shaken Tian Xin at the head. Tian Fushun, the village director, and Tian Xin, the project manager, sat in a circle with them. The secretaries stood behind their respective leaders, briefcases tucked under their arms, ready to be called upon at any moment.
As soon as they sat down, the leader at the head turned to look at Tian Xin and asked with a smile: "You just said, how much money is still needed?"
"50,000, boss!" Tian Xin replied, "I've calculated that registering a merchant account requires a 1,000 yuan deposit, plus buying computers, installing network cables, and purchasing goods. So far, 10 of the villagers who have come to see me are from impoverished households. So, the total cost is about 50,000 yuan."
"Oh! What about the others?"
"Most of the other families..."
Halfway through her words, she was suddenly kicked in the leg.
"Huh? What's wrong?" asked the leader.
"Oh, that's all the people who have registered so far. There's still more than half who haven't registered yet. I was thinking, why not use the radio to ask later? If everyone feels the same way, I can bring them along as well."
"So, is there a plan for where this money will come from? Does the village committee have the funds?"
"Uh... yes!" Tian Fushun interrupted, "The village stone quarry has been doing very well lately. With the rent paid to the quarry, we should be able to make up the 50,000 yuan!"
"If it's not enough, just tell me." The leader said, "This is a good project. The city saw the advertisement and learned that this enterprise is run by our county. It is very important, so they specially issued instructions and asked me to take a look.
I didn't expect your village to take advantage of this and bring the villagers together. This is a great opportunity!"
"Ah... hehe... isn't this just in time?" Tian Xin said, "If we can get support from the county government, we'll definitely work hard and bring all the villagers along! It just so happens that this year's peppercorns and dried persimmons are almost here. If we sell some of them online, sales will definitely go up!"
"Then do it according to your ideas!" said the leader.
"Go spread the word to the villagers. If you have any difficulties, come to us. The county will provide support for the shortfall. As long as this is legal and can benefit the villagers, you can go ahead and do it with confidence!"
