Jia Youcai sat on the side, drinking tea leisurely, looking at the three people opposite him huddled together looking at the plan.
For Jia Youcai, there was nothing special in it, just the things that Jia Youcai had planned some time ago, but it was different for others.
Look at the chapter title obtained by Jia Youcai, the "49 City Vegetable Basket Project", integrated forestry and breeding, high value-added off-season vegetables, sales points exclusively for factories and collectives.
The three of them were stunned. Although they had never heard of or seen some of the nouns, it was not difficult to understand them even if they did not understand their literal meanings.
Old Yang was the first to react, thinking about the things here in his mind. If there really is some technology that can be used to grow off-season vegetables on a large scale, then these things will most likely be successful.
The rest is nothing more than more manual labor, such as planting trees, digging canals and building reservoirs, raising pigs, chickens, ducks and fish, which are no problem at all.
The only special feature is probably the off-season vegetables, which is also the core competitiveness mentioned in the plan. Well, this word is very interesting.
Zhao Gang finished reading it and nodded. "Very good. It covers all aspects and is explained clearly. However, I'm confused about one thing. What's going on with this collective system?"
Jia Youcai smiled and said, "There is strength in numbers. Comrade Yang Aiguo is leading the way, and we are pulling together and making use of manpower in a planned way, so that everyone can do their own thing.
Take breeding for example. As the old saying goes, even if you have a fortune, it doesn’t count if you have fish.
If a chicken breeding company gets infected with fowl plague and all the chickens die, then it will be the end of the business. It will not be able to bear the loss and will go bankrupt.
It’s different for a group. There are many things they can do, some of which are profitable and some are loss-making. They have a strong ability to withstand pressure and have more opportunities to try and make mistakes.
For example, if we make money together by growing vegetables, we can't share it all. We have to keep some for backup. Those who are well-off can invest in simple agricultural and sideline products. There are canneries that can directly cannulate seasonal fresh seafood.
As for how the money will be divided, there's a plan. It's a fixed salary and no dividends. Whoever contributes more people and puts in more effort will naturally get more. Isn't that right?"
Zhao Gang nodded and asked again, "Your project is indeed a large undertaking. It would cost a lot of money if it relied entirely on manpower. We are all poor people, so we can contribute some strength.
Even if everyone contributed money, it still wouldn't be enough. What would you do?"
Old Yang listened and felt that it was right. Without money, everything is over.
You can't just let people work and bring their own food.
Jia Youcai nodded and said, "I have a plan for the money. I can lend it to the village first. When you start producing vegetables next year and sell them, you can pay me back without interest.
The same goes for buying film from outside. There are still many trees on the mountain, so we can cut them down first, keep some for the village, and sell the rest, which will also generate income."
Hearing that there was a solution, Lao Yang immediately became interested and asked, "How much money can you lend to our village?"
Jia Youcai curled his lips and said, "This is your village. Aren't people stupid enough to see this kind of people?"
Jia Youcai stretched out a finger and shook it.
Old Yang guessed: "A thousand? That's not much."
Jia Youcai smiled and said, "Who are you looking down on? What can you do with that little money? Apart from buying the film, I'll lend you 10,000 yuan first. The rest depends on the progress of your project.
Don't count on raising money from the villagers. They're all dirt poor. If they just work hard and obey your orders, you'll be lucky. Once you have some production and see where they are headed, if you want to raise money to start a factory, they'll definitely give you the money."
Jia Youcai answered the questions from several people again, slowly clearing up some of the doubts, and then sent away Zhao Gang and Wang Xiulan.
Jia Youcai then pulled Lao Yang to a place where there were no people, and said that running a greenhouse vegetable business had many benefits besides making money.
"Old Yang, we've been through a lot, and I left you in the village on purpose. Are you still blaming me?"
