Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

About half an hour later, Tian Dazhuang and Wu Haiwang brought people to Gao Junsong's house. Yan Jiekuang took the initiative to greet the visitors and then quickly passed out cigarettes. Gao Baolin lit a cigarette and asked directly: "Jiekuang, you just came to my house, why didn't you tell me about the purchase station in the village?!"

Yan Jiekuang said, "Third Grandpa, this is serious business. Of course, we have to tell the captain uncle and the others. I just went to your place. That's our friendship. Public matters are public, private matters are private. We can't get mixed up. Don't you agree with this?!"

Tian Dazhuang asked: "Jie Kuang, are you really willing to open a purchasing station in our village?!"

Yan Jiekuang said confidently: "Is this true? I have brought the contract and the official seal. If you are worried, I can sign a contract with you. After signing the contract, I can pay you immediately. In addition, I will adjust the purchase price upwards every year according to market conditions. I will never let you suffer a loss."

Mr. Tian Liu was smoking a cigarette when he suddenly asked, "What if the commune wants to take over this matter?!"

Yan Jiekuang said, "I can specify in the contract that we will only cooperate with our brigade. I will not acknowledge anything else. When the phone is installed on my side, I will leave my phone number with you. If you have any questions, just call me directly. Besides, Gou Wa is my apprentice, and San Ni doesn't have much work now. As a master, I always have to help my apprentice. I hired San Ni as a recorder. Call me every month to inform me of the number of goods purchased. I pay San Ni a salary every month. The salary is temporarily set at 50 yuan. After the contract is signed, I will deposit 20,000 yuan in our village's account. 10,000 yuan will be used as the principal for receiving the goods. The other 10,000 yuan will be used as a deposit. If I breach the contract, the 10,000 yuan deposited in our village will belong to the village. If the purchase money is not enough, you can call me and I will transfer the money immediately. If there are no special circumstances, I will remit the purchase money through the post office the day after I receive the goods."

The elders in the village looked at each other, and then there was another round of whispering. Finally, as if they had reached a consensus, they nodded to Gao Junsong, Tian Dazhuang, and Wu Haiwang. Gao Junsong said, "Jie Kuang, since you have taken all the risks, there is nothing to discuss. Let's sign the contract!"

Yan Jiekuang walked into the room prepared for him and Su Zihui, took out the pre-prepared contract from his bag, and walked back to the yard. He handed the contract to Gao Junsong and said, "Captain, take a look. If there is anything to add, we will add it. If not, we will sign it. Tomorrow morning, you will go to the bank with me and I will give you the money."

Gao Junsong and Tian Dazhuang took the contract and read it carefully. After the two contracts were passed around by the people present, and everyone thought there was no problem, Gao Junsong took out the brigade's official seal and signed the contract with Yan Jiekuang quickly.

After signing the contract, Yan Jiekuang said: "My elders! Uncle Captain! Even if I, Yan Jiekuang, could cheat others, I would never cheat you. Because I plan to bring my wife here to live in our place when I am old!" Then Yan Jiekuang kept one contract for himself and gave the remaining two contracts to Gao Junsong.

There was no conversation that night. The next morning, Yan Jiekuang got up at daybreak. He simply washed up and was about to eat. Wu Haiwang and Tian Dazhuang both came. It was probably because the money had not been put into the bag yet and they did not sleep well that night, so they came so early.

Yan Jiekuang finished his meal in a few bites, then went out with Gao Junsong, Tian Dazhuang and Wu Haiwang.

Yan Jiekuang drove out of the village and asked, "Uncle Accountant, are we going to the town or the county?!"

Wu Haiwang said, "Let's go directly to the county! It's easy for the news to leak out if we go to the town."

"Okay! Then let's go to the county." After saying that, Yan Jiekuang sped up the car.

Gao Junsong sat in the passenger seat, looking at the interior of the car, and couldn't help asking: "Jie Kuang, this car is expensive, right?!"

Yan Jiekuang smiled and replied, "Not much, just tens of thousands of US dollars. I brought a lot of stuff this time, so I drove this car. I usually drive a sedan." After that, Yan Jiekuang took out a pack of cigarettes, handed it to Gao Junsong, and said, "Captain, it's not convenient for me to distribute cigarettes while I'm driving. Can you help distribute them?"

When Gao Junsong saw the cigarette Yan Jiekuang handed over, his eyes lit up instantly. He took the cigarette and spread it around, and did not forget to put one in Yan Jiekuang's mouth.

An hour later, Yan Jiekuang drove the car to the bank in the county. After parking the car, Yan Jiekuang got out first. There were not many people in the bank at this time. After entering the bank, Wu Haiwang walked directly to an empty window and handed the village account to the staff inside.

The staff member glanced at Wu Haiwang and asked, "Deposit or withdraw money?!"

Wu Haiwang replied, "Save money!" and then looked at Yan Jiekuang.

Yan Jiekuang directly took out two large bundles of unopened Great Unity from his bag and put them on the counter. Wu Haiwang said, "Deposit 18,000." Then Wu Haiwang opened a bundle, took out two stacks and put them in his bag, and then pushed the rest of the money inside.

The staff took the money in and counted it on the spot. Not long after, the money was counted. The bank staff transferred the money to the public account of Qingshan Village.

When Yan Jiekuang and Gao Junsong walked out of the bank, they were spotted by Zhang Dongjin, the commune secretary who was attending a meeting in the county. After Yan Jiekuang drove away, Zhang Dongjin walked into the bank. Before Zhang Dongjin could ask, he heard the bank staff talking: "Qingshan Village is really rich. Eighteen thousand yuan was deposited in all at once."

"My aunt married into Qingshan Village. Their village was the first village in their commune to open a workshop. They were very rich before. But their commune leader didn't allow them to open a workshop. He closed the workshop in the village and opened a commune-run factory in the town. I heard that those factories are getting worse day by day."

Zhang Dongjin came to the county this time, not only to attend meetings, but also to cry poor. But he never thought that there was such a rich village under him. Zhang Dongjin planned to go back directly after the meeting, and then ask Qingshan Brigade to hand over all the money to the commune.

Yan Jiekuang drove Gao Junsong and the other two back to the village. A large number of villagers who had received the news were already waiting at the door of Gao Junsong's house. As soon as Yan Jiekuang stopped the car, the villagers surrounded him. Gao Junsong got out of the car and asked, "What are you doing here?!"

Sister Guihua asked, "Village head, is Yan Zhiqing really going to open a purchasing station in our village?!"

Gao Junsong said: "It's not a purchasing station. Instead, he entrusted our village to help him purchase mountain products such as hazelnuts and pine nuts. Of course, we also buy melon seeds and peanuts. The purchase price is higher than that of the purchasing station in the town. As for the specific price, we will make it public later."

Xinghua Niang said, "Village Chief, we have given you the goods, we won't give you an IOU, right?!"

Tian Dazhuang said, "Don't worry. Yan Zhiqing has deposited the payment for the goods into our brigade's account. And Yan Zhiqing has promised that if the payment is not enough, call him and he will send the money to us immediately through the post office. But then again, the purchase price is high. We can't fool them by selling inferior goods as good ones. We can't destroy our own reputation."
