Countercurrent 1978 starts with the production team

A few days passed, and Chu Jianghe still closed the door to thank guests.

During the day, I spend time with my family and children, and take my wife and children to tend the vegetable patch at home.

After dinner in the evening, when I had nothing to do, I set up a deck chair in the yard, lay on it for a while, drank tea, chatted with my wife, and truly lived a carefree life for a few days.

Although he has been a hands-off shopkeeper for these years, there are so many things to consider, so he can just put his mind down and spend time with his family these days.

Liu Yunfang is also extremely satisfied with the life these days. Now their life is a bit like what is sung in the opera: you plow the fields and I weave, and I carry water for you to water the gardens.

Sometimes I think about it, it would be nice to live like this in the village with my man for the rest of my life.

That night, the two of them sat in the courtyard chatting as usual after dinner. The weather was getting warmer and warmer, and the evening breeze was very pleasant.

At this time, Zheng Yueyue's voice came from outside the gate.

"The two of you are really interested in talking to the moon at night."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Yueyue and Zhang Li entered the courtyard one after another.

When Chu Jianghe and Liu Yunfang saw that they were coming, they stood up happily to welcome the guests.

Zhang Li saw Chu Jianghe enjoying himself and thought of how he had been socializing and eating with the people in the county every day these days: "Jiang He, you still enjoy it, unlike me, who eats with those messy people every day. It's really There’s nothing to explain.”

Chu Jianghe laughed and scolded him angrily, then said hello to Zheng Yueyue, asking them to sit down in the courtyard.

Liu Yunfang knew that they had something to talk about, so she wisely took Zheng Yueyue to the house to talk, leaving the courtyard to the two of them.

After the two women left, Zhang Li talked about serious matters with Chu Jianghe.

"Jiang He, I followed what you said and took a thorough look at the situation in the county. In addition to the people from each township and the party secretaries of each village, there are three main families in the county, the Bai family, the Hao family, and the Jin family. , these three families have been developing in the county for many years, and with their large number of people, they have people in various key departments, and they are very powerful. This kid Zhao Jinpeng relies on the Jin family, and his wife is a member of the Jin family, and he is attracted by them Put it out and do some business on the bright side.”

Zhang Li explained the situation in the county to Chu Jianghe in detail, and finally asked: "Jiang He, where do you think we should start?"

"Buy? What to buy?" Chu Jianghe poured him a cup of tea and asked.

"You asked me to understand the situation in the county. Aren't you just waiting to find out the situation before taking action? Otherwise, why would we bother so much?" Zhang Li couldn't understand it again.

Chu Jianghe shook his head and said: "I want you to understand the situation in the county. I have no other purpose. I just want you to have a basic understanding of the situation in the county. This way, you won't be blinded."

"Then what do I do next?"

"Just do what you have to do. First build the roads you promised to build before, and then start investing in building factories to show your strength. Then you can start purchasing ore as I told you before."

"Building roads is easy to say. It's nothing more than money. We will pay for it. But do we really need to invest in building a factory? This is a bit too laborious. Besides, what should we do?"

Zhang Li has roughly learned about the situation in the county in the past few days. People don't have much money in their hands. How much money can they make in such an environment?

Investing in building a factory didn't happen overnight. He had already made a lot of money in Hong Kong Island at this time. He felt that Chu Jianghe was making this unnecessary move.

Chu Jianghe knew that he could make money easily by doing entrepot trade, so he looked down on the path of honest industry and investing in building factories.

But if you don’t do it now, it will be too late if you want to do it later.

Nowadays, the economic benefits of investing in and building factories are not so obvious, but in the process of rapid economic development, if we do business honestly and have a solid foundation, the benefits of this will be inestimable in the future.

Besides, he won’t make less money doing business than he imagined. The key depends on how you do it.

"I said, why are you thinking so hard? It's so hard to invest in building a factory, but you can't just buy a ready-made factory? There are so many state-owned factories in the county waiting to be contracted. It would be much easier to just renovate them than to build them from scratch, right? What about what to do? , I have already thought about it for you, cement factories and glass factories can do it, don’t worry about the equipment, I will have people transport it from Hong Kong Island for you."

The county's scientific research strength is limited and it cannot attract high-end talents. It cannot develop too high-end industries, so it can only start from basic industries.

Basic industries such as cement factories and glass factories will develop rapidly in the next [-] to [-] years. The support of these industries is indispensable. If they are done well, they will make a lot of money.

Seeing Zhang Zhang's lack of interest, Chu Jianghe asked, "What? Do you think it's boring?"

Zhang Li cheered up and replied: "Jiang He, although I don't understand the truth behind this, I know that what you said must have your reason."

Chu Jianghe inevitably reminded him: "You can't make enough money. A person's status is composed of his economic and social status in society. Economic status is easy to understand. It means how much money you have. How much money do you have?" The richer you are, the higher your status is. Let’s put it this way, do you think that even if you make as much money as the Charter King, your status in Hong Kong Island can be comparable to that of the Charter King?”

Zhang Li had been in Hong Kong Island for so long, so he didn't know his status as the Charter King. He smiled bitterly and said, "Jiang He, please stop joking. How can I be compared to the Charter King? You think too highly of me."

Chu Jianghe nodded and said: "So in addition to economic status, there is also a certain social status. There is no way to use specific standards to measure it. Prestige, wealth, and power are all symbols of social status. Let you Doing business is also for your sake. If in a few years the factory you invested in and built accounts for more than half of the county's fiscal revenue in taxes each year, and thousands of people in the county are working in your factory, what if you fall down? It will affect not only the county's finances but also the jobs of thousands of people. What position will you be in the county by then?"

Zhang Li, a big guy, had never thought about such a profound question. Hearing Chu Jianghe's words so clearly, he was suddenly shocked. He stared at Chu Jianghe in stunned silence and was speechless for several minutes.

It took Zhang Li a long time to digest it, and then he swallowed his saliva and said, "Jiang He, it makes sense, it makes so damn sense! Really, I have convinced you."

If it is true as Chu Jianghe said, no one will dare to touch him on that day.

Zhang Li felt hot in his heart, and he no longer rejected Chu Jianghe's proposal.

Chu Jianghe felt funny in his heart and asked him deliberately: "How do you feel now? Do you still find it difficult?"

Where could Zhang Li still object? He just kept giggling: "No effort, no effort, it's all up to you, it's all up to you."
