At night, the ship returned, and several ships went together. The bright and dazzling light of the battery can be considered as a response. The boss of the ship was full of weather and looked old. When asked about his age, he had to call Professor Zheng'older brother'.
It takes three or four hours to sail to Nantou Township at night. Speaking of'Shengguang Machinery', an elderly ship boss was very emotional, "The young man who opened the factory is really terrible. It only took more than a month to save the mechanic repair shop that had been lost for years."
Professor Zheng listened quietly, not in a hurry.
"In the past, when we were farming in the countryside, those who were stupefied would only grow some rice to pay for public food, and could not make a lot of money each year. Now I know that we have to find a way to engage in side businesses, raising chickens, ducks and pigs.
Some people in the village worry that we will not be able to complete the task of collecting grain if we do not grow rice. But "Shengguang Machinery" ran to more than a dozen villages and towns in the county, collected more than 20 scrap tractors, and repaired them all in half a month. They are now going to other counties to collect waste products.
With these tractors, I don't know how much manpower is saved. People in the village now feel that the past was too stupid, so why haven't those tractors been used well? Why is no one thinking about repairing it all the time? "
Hearing this, it seems that there really is a genius to break the situation. Professor Zheng couldn't help asking: "Who owns these tractors now? Who can afford more than 20 units?"
The boat boss laughed, "No one bought it. It was led by'Shengguang Machinery', and the repaired tractors were rented to the village. The village then arranged manpower for each village to cultivate the land, sow, harvest, and transport. One day can work for half a month. Live.
This saves trouble in the village, the village, and the farmer. Someone has to come out and pay first. There was no such fool in the past, but now this fool has emerged.
But "Shengguang Machinery" didn't spend much, after all, those tractors were broken. They are mostly obtained at the price of scrap collection. "
Speaking of this, the boss of the ship is a bit stuck himself. It seems that this is not that simple. If the tractor was easy to repair, it would have been repaired in the past. After all, a few thousand yuan, it is impossible to easily scrap it.
Professor Zheng didn't notice the details, and only exclaimed: "This township and village enterprise is very powerful." After thinking about it, he can only use'excellent' to describe this feat of paying for others. Change to other companies to avoid such things that occupy a large amount of liquidity.
Little did he know that Zhou Qingfeng had broken his heart now in order to protect the GDP of Nantou Township.
The boss of the boat nodded proudly, and grinned: "Many of us run boats for water transportation, and the twelve-horsepower diesel engine is also rented from'Shengguang Machinery'.
They not only rent tractors, diesel engines. Even water pumps, motors, transformers, etc. are rented. It is said that looking at a pile of things on the factory's accounts, there are actually tens of thousands of dollars in it. "
Hearing "tens of thousands", Professor Zheng was also startled, and asked in a low voice, "Personal paddling?"
The boat boss nodded and said in a deep voice, "That kid is rich and capable."
"Where did he get the money?"
"I heard that he earned it from a smuggling business. He opened a small shop in the village and sold a lot of imported goods not long ago. I heard people say that he made a lot of money before he could throw it into the machine repair shop. Even if it is easy for him to make money, why should he be so spoiled?"
No one understands this question. The boss of the ship can only guess, but he talked about something that'Shengguang Machinery' did in private, "That factory not only rents equipment, but also secretly lends."
What... ...
"Loan usury?" Professor Zheng was shocked by this.
The boss of the boat shook his head, "The kid's factory originally had only about 20 people. At the beginning of this month, he suddenly hired a few retired old accountants from the township postal savings office to collaborate on some small loans.
At first everyone thought he was going to lend usury, but after the news came out, it was said that the interest rate was not higher than that of the savings bank loan, on the contrary, the loan conditions were lowered. However, the loan amount is not much, most of them are only about fifty or one hundred, and they are not given if they are too much. "
This is even more incomprehensible, Zhou Qingfeng is such a good person!
It's harder to get loans in rural areas than to get to the sky. Ordinary farmers are so poor that there is nothing to collateralize. It's not an exaggeration that some people are just being surrounded by walls. However, rural development urgently needs some small loans, otherwise a small change can destroy a family.
A minor illness, an accident, pesticides and fertilizers were not bought, and agricultural machinery failed to start working in time—people in the city were already thinking about consumption upgrades, and few saw that life in the countryside was extremely humble.
In order to increase the consumption power of farmers and increase GDP by a large margin, Zhou Qingfeng resolutely wanted to spend his hard-earned money for others. The left hand makes money, the right hand spends money, and the middle is happy, not to mention the heartache.
But if you don’t have money, you can still make money. If the task of protecting GDP is not completed, your life will be lost. Zhou Qingfeng even used his own factory to mortgage the Nantou Township Savings Office and loaned 30,000 yuan to provide farmers in the village with operating funds. He loses money instead of making money.
It’s just that everyone knows that Zhou Qingfeng’s smuggling business is particularly good, and the township savings office is eager to lend him more money. After all, the office is also going to complete the task of lending. It is safer to lend to others than to lend to him.
"Then what if someone else doesn't repay the debt?" Professor Zheng heard that it was not a loan shark, and his perception of Zhou Qingfeng was greatly improved. Instead, he worries that this'good-hearted man' will not collapse.
The boss of the ship laughed again, "The loan from the'Shengguang' Factory is a special chicken thief. It doesn't directly give you money, it just asks you what you need.
If you want to treat a disease, then the money will be given to the township health center. If you want to buy pesticides and fertilizers, the money is also given to the county agricultural materials company. If you want to rent agricultural machinery, the money is directly charged to the account of the "Shengguang" factory. If you want to take money to gamble, don't count on it.
There is another requirement for a loan, that is, families with children studying in the township elementary school are eligible. In the past half month, there have been a lot more children in elementary schools in the village. Because the children’s school fees can also be borrowed, interest-free. "
Professor Zheng listened to a slap on his thigh, "This is a good thing!"
More than a good thing? It's like a saint from heaven!
This week, Qingfeng's ideological consciousness is too high, not afraid of hardship or tiredness, serving the people wholeheartedly, and the compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva can't compare with it. When everyone else benefits, he takes a debt.
Professor Zheng rubbed his hands in excitement, wishing to see this young man who changed the situation at the grassroots level right away. Even the two students who followed him were extremely shocked. They couldn't think of such a character in a society that is eager for quick success and quick profit.
Sailing at night, we will arrive at the small wharf in Nantou Township after more than three hours. It was dark on the pier and only found the way by the lights of the fishing boats. Professor Zheng was going to the township guest house for one night. When he walked up the street behind the pier, he saw that the whole block was dark, with only the lights on in the distance and the faint sound of machines.
Professor Zheng said excitedly: "That must be the Shengguang Factory. The boss of the boat said that they only work in three shifts in the whole town. Let's not rush to find a place to live. Let's visit at night."
