"First of all, this is a road construction project for the entire county team. It's a big deal for the county. If it's done, everyone will be credited. Our county party secretary and mayor won't just sit there and watch. The county finance department will at least give out 500,000 or 600,000 yuan, which is only one-tenth of the total price. I believe the county will find a way. This is also a big achievement for the city. It would be embarrassing for the city party secretary not to give out more than 1 million yuan, right?"
"Another thing is that I was the one who proposed this, so I have made preparations. The bamboo weaving factory and processing factory I manage will take out 20% of their annual profits to help the county build roads. Twenty percent of the annual profits of the two factories add up to one million. So, we only need to take out another four million."
Everyone: “…”
Isn’t four million enough?
Secretary Zhou faced everyone's gaze and said with difficulty: "The instant noodle factory can also take out 20% of its annual profit. Is that okay with you?"
Secretary Huang did some calculations: "Even if we calculate based on the highest profit, 20% of the instant noodle factory's annual profit is only about 500,000 or 600,000 yuan."
"You're wrong." Jiang Wanyue said, "We are currently opening up channels with the railway bureaus of various provinces. By the twelfth month of this year, the monthly sales volume should be close to one million, and the annual profit is 20%, which is more than one million. With this calculation, we only need to raise three million!"
Everyone: “…”
Three million is not a small amount.
What on earth was she thinking? How could such a fantastic thing become so simple when it came out of her mouth?
Jiang Wanyue smiled: "Let's not worry about the exact distance of each commune. It's roughly the same anyway. A family may not know the exact distance. There are nine communes, and each commune pays 350,000 yuan. That shouldn't be a big problem, right?"
"Director Jiang, please stop talking." Secretary Li was about to cry, "Even if we sold all the members of our commune, we still couldn't raise 350,000 yuan!"
Secretary Ji also had a headache. Hongqi Commune was considered relatively wealthy, but it was almost impossible to come up with 350,000 yuan.
Jiang Wanyue smiled brightly: "You don't have money now, but you will have money in the future. According to the development momentum of the instant noodle factory, by the end of next year, or the year after at the latest, your dividends will definitely reach 350,000. My idea is that we can borrow money from the bank to build the road, and then return the money to the bank after the dividends are received. I have inquired about it. For such a major livelihood project, the bank interest is subsidized by the state. How great is that? We don't even have to pay interest on borrowing money, and we make money."
Silence.
Everyone present fell silent again.
They were supposed to come here today to collect their dividends, but instead they were asked to borrow money from the bank!
Who would want to be in debt before they even have time to warm up their money?
However, they knew very well that if they refused, then Director Jiang would definitely drag Secretary Ji to build the road for Hongqi Commune alone!
When electricity was connected, Hongqi Commune enjoyed a period of glory. If they rush to build roads first, they will be left far behind!
Now with Director Jiang taking the lead and being responsible for going to the county and city to get approval for funds, they can save a lot of trouble.
If the Red Flag Commune is completed in the future, it will be difficult for them to build roads...
Jiang Wanyue stood up and said, "Everyone, please think about it carefully. This matter is not urgent. It doesn't matter if you refuse. It's fine for our Hongqi Commune to repair it alone."
What else can people say?
Secretary Zhou was the first to stand up and gritted his teeth and said, "Director Jiang, it's only 350,000 yuan. I'll lend it to you. I'll go to the bank to sign a contract to borrow the money tomorrow!"
After the first one, there will soon be a second and a third, and in the end naturally everyone stood up and said they would go to the bank together to borrow money tomorrow.
Jiang Wanyue smiled brightly: "Then I will run around the county and city in the next few days to get this batch of money as soon as possible. I hope we can start construction early next year!"
She became motivated at the thought of building the road.
In the past two years, she had had enough of the pain of riding in the car. Every time the car drove to the brigade, it kept bumping. It was okay if it didn't rain, but in the afternoon, it was really a mess. It kept getting stuck in the mud and always had to find someone to push the car...
She is very much looking forward to the days after the road is completed.
She first went to the county and talked with Secretary Liu for a long time.
When Secretary Liu heard that she was going to call on all the brigades in the county to build roads, he stood up from his chair in shock: "Is this true?"
"Of course it's true." Jiang Wanyue smiled, "Yesterday, the secretaries of the various communes went to the county bank to borrow money, but because the procedures were incomplete, the bank did not approve it. So I came to find the secretary to stamp it."
She placed nine bank loan application forms on Secretary Liu's desk.
Secretary Liu took a closer look and let out a long breath: "Director Jiang, you are really amazing. You can actually convince so many old guys to agree to do something big. I don't obey anyone but you!"
"If this road is completed, it will be the only county in our city, or even the province, with access to the entire brigade, right?" Jiang Wanyue said, "Secretary Liu has accomplished such a big thing in his first year in office. When he gets promoted, he will definitely be promoted to the provincial level."
Secretary Liu suddenly became proud.
He immediately stamped the loan forms with his seal and said, "The whole county should focus on doing big things. Building roads will benefit the country and the people. I definitely support it! Come with me to the city now, and let's ask the municipal party secretary to approve some money."
The municipal party secretary had visited the countryside to inspect the hybrid rice project before, and Jiang Wanyue chatted with him for a few words, so they were considered to be acquaintances.
I followed Secretary Liu to the Municipal Party Committee Building and waited in the office for more than half an hour before I finally saw the secretary.
"I was in a meeting just now. Sorry to have kept you waiting." Secretary Cao sat down, took a sip of tea and said, "If I remember correctly, the person next to Secretary Liu is Director Jiang. I heard that you have done something big again. The instant noodle factory is developing in full swing. It is selling like hot cakes across the province. I have eaten it twice. It tastes really good. It is very filling to have as a lunch when I am busy."
"It's an honor for our instant noodle factory that Secretary Cao likes it." Jiang Wanyue said with a smile, "Secretary Liu brought me here today because of another important matter."
Secretary Liu handed over the preliminary proposal for road construction: "Please review it."
Secretary Cao was shocked when he saw the words on the cover: "Build a road? A road across the entire county?"
Lianhu County is not big, but it is not small either. Building roads throughout the county requires a lot of funding, estimated to be close to 10 million yuan.
He frowned and flipped through the proposal, turning directly to the end: "Six million eight hundred thousand?"
"Yes, we use gravel and asphalt to pave the road. It's simpler and cheaper." Jiang Wanyue said, "Now the funds are almost there, but there is still a gap, so I would like to ask the city for help."
Secretary Cao was incredulous: "The funds are almost there? How did you get them together?"
It’s close to seven million, which is not a small amount. Even the city can’t come up with it, so how can the county get it?
"I am now the director of three factories. If each factory contributes 20% of its annual profit, we can make up more than 2 million. If each person from each major commune contributes more than 300,000, we can make up 3 million. Our county finance department will allocate 500,000 to 600,000, and there will still be a gap of 1 million."
Secretary Liu: “???”
When did the county finance department say it would allocate 500,000 or 600,000 yuan?
Last year, when we had electricity, we got 70,000 or 80,000 yuan, which was like a life-threatening expense. 500,000 or 600,000 yuan was simply impossible!
