The village rules have been brought up, but the people in the county committee have no time to look at them. Their negotiations with Zhao Hui have reached a fever pitch.
First of all, there is the issue of land transfer. The county party committee leaders have sensitively smelled the scent of business and are holding on to the land, unwilling to transfer it and only willing to provide a lease contract.
This was also based on the fact that Li Huan had obtained the approval for the use of this land from the commune secretary earlier. This was the city center of the county town, otherwise they might have chosen other places.
But Zhao Hui refused to give in, and finally they agreed to lease the property first, with a monthly rent of 200 yuan for a period of ten years, to be paid in one lump sum.
After ten years of signing the contract, if Zhao Hui and his team still intend to continue operating the business, the government will sell the two acres of land to Zhao Hui at the best market price.
As for the issue of taxation, it is collected in accordance with national regulations, which is indisputable. The only controversy is employment. With such a large market, some people will be needed.
For example, security, cleaning, finance, logistics...
You know, this large retail and wholesale company can help the government solve part of the labor problem, so they will not miss this opportunity.
Zhao Hui felt that they also needed to hire people. Li Huan and Shouhou were even more concerned about their brothers, but they also pretended to be in a difficult situation so that they could win the core positions.
Everyone in the system is a smart person. Looking at the expressions of Zhao Hui and the others, they knew that they had already negotiated the conditions to the limit. If they pushed for more, they might lose the investment, so they readily agreed.
At this point, the contract signing between Zhao Hui and the government was completed. The next issue was the distribution of shares. Zhao Hui invested 100,000 yuan and held 50% of the shares.
Li Huan invested 90,000 yuan, accounting for 45% of the shares, and Shouhou invested 10,000 yuan, accounting for 5% of the shares. When Shouhou signed, his hands were shaking.
He never knew that he would be able to grow to this point and start such a big business. This would be the most glorious moment of his life.
"Brother Huan, I never thought that the 10,000 yuan that seemed so huge to me only accounted for 5% of the shares of this investment. It turns out that I am a frog in the well."
Li Huan smiled and pointed to a name on the contract:
"Shou Hou, my uncle and I will sign another contract with you, which will allow you to fully manage this wholesale company. We are willing to give you 10% of the shares."
Skinny Monkey finally discovered the problem with this contract. It turned out that the person who held 45% of the shares was not Li Huan, but Li Ming.
"Why are your shares given to Li Ming? You have three children."
"Cheng Qiao said that all the businesses in Xiangyang Village, the county town, and Chuncheng belong to Li Ming. She has her own arrangements for the other children, including Xuhui's."
"Oh, Cheng Qiao is very sensible. But Li Ming is only a few years old. He can become a shareholder at such a young age. It's really frustrating to compare yourself with others."
"So, such a young child has no way to manage. I have to go to school, and my uncle has other businesses in Beijing, so he can't get away. We will hand this over to you until the day when Li Ming can take over."
"No, at most I will receive two more salaries, and you just need to give me the salaries of the largest and second largest shareholders. As for the shares, you cannot touch them."
Skinny Monkey is not only stubborn but also a grateful person. He relies on Li Huan for where he is today. He just runs a wholesale company. How dare he snatch food from a child's mouth? He resolutely refuses.
In the end, it was Zhao Hui who made the decision. Shouhou would receive the salary and benefits of three people per month, including the year-end bonus of course. The other dividends would be decided based on the situation of their business.
The three of them got together, worked out a plan, and determined the source of goods before following Li Huan and Shouhou to the original black market. The black market had changed. It was crowded with people, and every corner was surrounded by circles of people.
Although everyone remains vigilant and will subconsciously leave when they see someone with a red armband, the people with red armbands have also changed their job and they are just maintaining order.
"Auntie, how much is this piece of meat?"
"Brother, this piece of meat is venison. It's a wild deer that my relative caught while hunting in the mountains. I'm not a mean person. I'll charge one dollar per pound. Here are eleven pounds. Just give it to Zhang Dahei."
Zhao Hui took out a big black paper, bought the piece of meat, and then began to investigate with a smile: "If this place is like a vegetable market, where you can set up a stall, and pay rent every month, plus some management fees, would you be willing to do so?"
"Long-term?"
"You can sign a contract for one, two or three years."
“If the rent is not too high, I’d be willing to do it. Otherwise, this place is unowned and if you come later, there will be no seat left and you have to wait until the previous person sells out.
See? Those wearing black clothes have to pay to enter this place. Every time they sell something, they pay 50 cents, and every time they buy something, they pay 10 cents. That’s a lot of money in a month.”
Zhao Hui looked at the men in black and was about to say something when Li Huan spoke up, "Once you sign the contract, these men in black will not charge you any money."
Zhao Hui glanced at Li Huan and Shouhou, and seeing that they looked a little embarrassed, he suddenly understood. It turned out that this place had been monopolized by these two guys a long time ago. No wonder they vowed that they could definitely take over this place.
"Let's go find a state-owned restaurant, pay them some processing fees, and ask them to cook this piece of venison."
"Why don't we go to Chuncheng tomorrow morning and cook at my wife's grocery store? And bring a few brothers with us to get to know the place, so it will be convenient for delivering goods in the future."
Zhao Hui nodded, and Shouhou left. He was going to enter the intensive business startup mode. Even Shouhou's parents helped to find a bricklayer to prepare to enclose the wholesale market.
The next morning, at the long-distance bus station, Zhao Hui saw Shou Hou leading five men. These were the elites of their small group. When they saw Li Huan, they quickly surrounded him:
"Brother Huan, is this place really a large wholesale market?"
"Well, you will work with Shouhou from now on, and you will get a fixed salary every month. In addition, you will have the time and ability to improve your skills, such as driving..."
"Brother Huan is right, but I don't know who the big boss is?"
Li Huan did not introduce Zhao Hui because Zhao Hui did not want to reveal his identity as a major shareholder. He still had a lot of things to do, and this retail and wholesale company was just a small part of his plan.
"Don't worry about it. After the retail and wholesale company opens, you can ask your family to rent a few more shops and make more money. But remember, we mainly focus on wholesale here."
After listening to Li Huan's words, several people felt unusual ambitions in their hearts. The words that they would have food to eat if they followed Brother Huan had been deeply rooted in their hearts.
