They have great confidence in this factory and want to establish good relations with it so as to maintain a long-term cooperative relationship in the future, which will be beneficial to both parties.

"If possible, I'd like three hundred thousand, but what about the interest? And the time it takes to use it."

"After comprehensive consideration, we plan to give you an interest rate of 8, which is already relatively low. Normally it should be above 8.5. You can use it for two years and you can renew the loan after two years. How about it?" the bank president said.

Su Qianqian actually doesn’t quite understand the interest rates for loans in this era, because the interest rates are floating and change with the economy and some policies.

Three hundred thousand yuan, with an interest rate of 8%, means the interest for one year is 24,000 yuan. Judging from the factory's income, there is no problem at all, and the loan can be renewed if the performance is good.

"Okay, no problem."

"Okay, then Director Su will come to the bank tomorrow to handle the formalities."

After the chat was almost over, the people from the bank left. They came with nothing in their hands, but when they left, all four of them were carrying a lot of things, and they couldn't stop smiling.

"It worked? It worked? Director, you are amazing!" The others were very surprised. The bank was willing to lend them 300,000 yuan! That's a lot of money!

"Captain, I think you should be in charge of the road construction. Organize the personnel for the construction and purchase the materials and tools needed for the construction. When the time comes, make a list of all the money you have spent and issue invoices."

"Okay, no problem. I'll prepare it right away." The team leader was full of energy. This was to build a road for the team, and it would benefit everyone in the team.

In the future, the road leading to the county town will be better, and it will be convenient to enter and exit. Others can come in and they can go out, and it will be difficult for the economy not to develop.

The next day Su Qianqian went to the bank to sign the contract.

She brought Cheng Song and Cheng Yue with her. After all, they were going to collect money, so they needed two bodyguards. With so much money, there was no guarantee that someone would want to rob them.

Although she wanted to go alone and put it directly in the space, it would not be easy to get away with it.

"Director Su, here are three hundred thousand. Please count them."

Looking at the piles of money in front of them, the three of them widened their eyes.

Although Su Qianqian had seen the world, she still felt a little shocked to see so much money placed right in front of her. It smelled like money and looked very new.

"Director Su, you have to go to the bank to pay the interest on this day next month."

"Is it okay if I don't come in person? I just need to bring the money, right?"

"right."

Su Qianqian nodded, divided the 300,000 into two parts, and gave them to Cheng Yue and Cheng Song respectively. The two of them carried the money out of the bank.

"Isn't it too obvious for us to come out of the bank like this?" Cheng Song asked worriedly.

"Yes, a little, but it's okay. When we get back, let the captain organize people to patrol. People from other teams need to register before entering our team. This way, the safety factor will be higher."

"As for our own team, they also have to register when they go out."

After all, it’s three hundred thousand. If it’s gone, it would be like the sky is falling.

But no one should be stupid enough to steal so much directly. It would be a bit inconvenient to carry it.

After returning to the team, they unanimously decided to divide the money into two parts, one in the factory safe and the other in the home safe.

There are two keys to the safe, one is held by Su Qianqian and the other is held by Secretary Zhou, which means that the pressure is put on the factory and the team respectively.

Once the money is in place, you can start work immediately.

The captain called everyone to a meeting.

"We are now preparing to build the road. Those who want to participate in the road construction can stand here. Food is provided but accommodation is not. The wage is 15 yuan a day, and there will be rewards if the work is completed within the specified time." Road construction is physical work and is very tiring. Su Qianqian meant that they could be paid higher wages, and the food should be better, and the construction period should be completed faster.

But it’s okay now because the weather is not hot. It would be even more difficult to build roads when the weather is hot.

There are two roads leading to the Chutianshui Brigade. One is wider and can be used by cars, while the other is a mountain road that can only be accessed by people walking or riding bicycles. This creates a problem as transportation within the factory becomes a problem.

But there is no way around it. If you keep putting it off, it will be more troublesome when the quantity increases in the future.

Su Qianqian’s idea is to buy a truck after the road here is almost repaired.

Many young and strong people in the team stood up. There was not much to do in winter, and building roads was a good opportunity to earn some money for the family. Besides, everyone knew that they would never suffer any loss by working for Su Qianqian, as she always paid more.

When it comes to people who build roads, they are not so picky.

Suddenly there was a woman among a group of men.

"You... Cheng Lanxiu, you want to build the road too?" the captain asked uncertainly when he saw her.

"Yes, I want to build roads. I have the strength and can do manual work." Cheng Lanxiu's voice was a little rough, but her attitude was firm.

"Why are you, a woman, joining in the fun? Don't delay our progress. The captain said that we will only get bonuses if we finish the task within the specified time. Don't waste our bonus." An unfriendly voice said with disdain.

Su Qianqian walked over and saw Cheng Lanxiu.

Her hair was down, so her face was a little unclear. Her nose and mouth were covered by a scarf, so only a pair of eyes could be seen.

She had no impression of this person.

"Cheng Wenbin, shut up. I didn't say women can't participate. Cheng Lanxiu does just as much work as men on a daily basis. It's just that road construction is harder and dirtier." The captain reminded.

"It's okay. I'm not afraid of hard work or dirt." She wants to make money!

Su Qianqian walked up to the captain and said, "We need a few more women to cook. After all, food is provided."

As soon as these words were spoken, several women came over.

"Cooking costs eight yuan a day." Su Qianqian said.

At this time, Cheng Lanxiu raised her hand and said, "I want to build roads, not cook." She wanted to get 15 yuan a day.

"Sure, no problem. It depends on your performance later. If you perform well, you can participate in the road construction. If you can't keep up with the progress, there's nothing we can do about it." Su Qianqian looked at Cheng Lanxiu equally.

"Okay!" Cheng Lanxiu seemed very confident.

Once the people who would build the road were determined, they began assigning tasks.

Cheng Lanxiu was naturally isolated and no one talked to her, but the team leader still took good care of her and assigned her relatively easy tasks.

"What's going on with Cheng Xiulan?" Su Qianqian asked.

"She was a poor girl. When she was twelve or thirteen years old, she was scalded by boiling water. There were large burns on her face and neck, and her throat was also affected."

"My parents died early, and I was left with my brother and sister-in-law. But they treated her badly and made her sleep in a pigsty."

"But this girl is really willing to endure hardships. She does all the dirty and tiring work, and earns the same work points as men."

"Her brother and sister-in-law wanted to marry her off to a widower, but she didn't want to, so her brother and sister-in-law disliked her even more."

Su Qianqian couldn't help feeling distressed.

No matter what era, there are always some tragic women.

After working for an afternoon, the road construction team came to eat.

Everyone ate voraciously because the food was good and there was meat!

Su Qianqian walked up to Cheng Lanxiu with a cup of warm water and said, "Come, have a drink of water."
