Born with rich bones

Township People's Commune.

The courtyard was full of people, and there was a circle of people sitting in the room, surrounding Zhou Yongli and Father Luo.

The atmosphere was tense and stalemate, and no one spoke.

Luo's father bowed his head to smoke, Zhou Yongli's eyes were red, but he also bowed his head and remained silent.

After a long while, Zhou Yongli raised his head and said calmly: "I, Zhou Yongli, started building a sugar factory two years ago, and I have never treated you badly. When the price of sugar rose, I raised the price of sugar cane. When the price of sugar fell, I did not." Keep the price down. Now, I can also guarantee my personality, put everyone's sugar cane in my factory, and I will definitely pay back all the money owed to everyone!"

Everyone looked at each other, showing embarrassment.

One of them stood up and said: "Director Zhou, it's not that we don't believe you, but you have to prove that we believe you. You started issuing IOUs a year ago, and the sugarcane you bought two months ago is still IOUs. If you If there are sales channels, or there is still a market for sugarcane, we will trust you without saying anything. But the problem now is that you have no sales channels, and you have sent a lot of IOUs——Factory Manager Zhou, Village Manager Luo, you should all We know that we have worked so hard to cultivate the whole year, and the income of the whole year depends on these ten acres of sugar cane. If the accumulation continues, the sugar will be saccharified, the sugar cane will be old, and all of them will not be sold, and we will really lose everything.”

Zhou Yongli: "As I said, all the IOUs will be torn up in two months at most. I have already resolved the issue of sales channels. There is no market for sugar cane. If you go north, the supply of sugar is in short supply. I ask everyone to believe me and put sugar And the sugar cane in the field will be handed over to me, and the money owed will be returned to everyone with interest before March."

Sugarcane farmers still don't believe it, they can't afford to gamble.

Before the new year, they were full of worries, coupled with their trust in Zhou Yongli, it was not easy to tear their faces.

It's different now.

They know that sugar is unsalable, and there is another way in front of them, so they naturally know how to choose.

Favor and trust cannot guarantee that they will have enough to eat.

"You give the proof and let everyone believe it."

Zhou Yongli was at a loss for words for a while, he really couldn't prove what he said was true.

One is that Guo Tongda is on his way back, and they cannot be contacted now.

The second is that market regulation and sugar price increases are all based on speculation. Even if they put their speculation in front of everyone, no one will believe it.

Father Luo: "I can testify."

Still no one believes it.

Father Luo has not yet fully established his prestige in Xiling Village.

Xu Dong was relieved to see Zhou Yongli and Luo's father looking slumped and unresponsive.

He stood up and said, "Lao Luo, the factory director, don't carry on with your mouths. The sugar cannot be sold in the sugar factory. What's the use of holding on to the sugar industry in Xiling Village? If you can't sell it, you can earn money." If there is no money, the factory will not be able to pay the wages of the workers, and will not be able to repay the white bills. Sooner or later, it will go bankrupt. Now there is another way to save everyone, and the sugar factory. Why not choose this way? You guys, don’t be stupid , although the sugar price is [-]% lower than the current market price, at least it can be sold.”

"Besides, the big businessman who bought our sugar in Xiling Village is a wealthy businessman from the north, and he has money in his pocket. He bought the entire sugar in Xiling Village and promised to settle it in one go. It's not a white note, but really, money Hold it in your hand."

"Factory Manager, let's not talk nonsense, if you can immediately settle all the money owed like that northern tycoon, we will not ask for sugar back."

Zhou Yongli slammed the table: "Xu Dong!"

Like thunder in a dry day, Xu Dong's heart trembled in fright, his legs almost went limp.

The tall and tall Zhou Yongli rushed up to Xu Dong, grabbed his collar and gritted his teeth, saying: "You have repeatedly made mistakes with drinking, and Aunt Xu often steals sugar from the factory. I didn’t fire you. It’s good for you to steal the account books from the factory behind my back and encourage the sugarcane farmers to sell sugar at a low price——you are not hurting me, but the people!”

The account book records the income and expenditure of the sugar factory in the past year, including supply and marketing channels, workers' wages, etc. The account details are very clear.The predicament of the sugar factory being unable to make ends meet unfolded in front of everyone. It happened that Xu Dong told a wealthy businessman that he would come to Xiling Village to settle the account in one go to buy sugar and sugar cane in the field.

So the sugarcane farmers gathered in the people's commune and forced Zhou Yongli to sell the unsalable white sugar in the factory to the wealthy northern businessman at a low price.

Otherwise, they will sue Zhou Yongli.

Father Luo was also invited as a witness.

If he does not heed the demands of the sugarcane farmers, he may also be sued.

The sugar cane in Xiling Village was sold to Zhou Yongli, including the sugar cane in the field also belonged to Zhou Yongli's sugar factory.

The former has signed an agreement, while the latter only has an oral agreement.

Cane farmers who still have sugar cane in their fields have decided to go back on their word.

As for the sugar cane that has already been sold, although Zhou Yongli has signed an agreement, Zhou Yongli has not yet paid the money, so he will agree with each other.

Xu Dong bit back rascally: "If I hadn't peeked at the account books, I might not have known about everyone's losses until all the sugar in the factory melted. You are the one who is unkind and hurt everyone! There was no channel before, and the sugar couldn't be sold. Everyone has nothing to say. Now that there is a door, you are still blocking it from selling, and the real selfish person is you, Zhou Yongli!"

The sugarcane farmers also persuaded Zhou Yongli. They knew that Zhou Yongli was a kind man, but they couldn't stand the current difficult situation.

"Xu Dong is right, everyone has been losing money all year long. I feel distressed at first, but if I don't sell it now, no one will buy it after another two months. The workers in the factory and the farmers in the fields earn hard-earned money. Director Zhou If we procrastinate casually for a month or two, the money in vain is our hard-earned money."

"That's right, Director Zhou. Anyway, sugar is unsalable, and your factory can't continue. If you sell it now, everyone will be saved."

Xu Dong took the opportunity to say: "Yes! The big boss from the north also promised that as long as the factory manager is willing to sell the factory to him, you will continue to be the director of Yiyantang. But the future sales channels, workers' wages and sugarcane farmers' money in the factory will not be paid. They are all paid by the big boss. The big boss is not short of money and is kind, if he hadn’t heard that our Xiling Village is the number one village in Huaguo, he wouldn’t have come here at all.”

Zhou Yongli pushed Xu Dong away, turned around and said to the villagers, "Three days."

Xu Dong: "What three days?"

Zhou Yongli: "As long as everyone gives me three days, I will bring the new market channel to everyone, and ensure that the price of sugar is higher than the current market price."

Xu Dong smiled mockingly: "Why should we trust you? If we waste time and make the big boss unhappy, he will change his mind and not buy our sugar. If you take the opportunity to run away again, where are we going to complain?"

Zhou Yongli: "If within three days, I don't do what I promised myself. Even if it's a sham, I will return all the IOUs, which is [-]% higher than the current market price of sugarcane!"

The ground was loud and loud, temporarily calming down the chaotic scene.

Everyone stared at Zhou Yongli, and they all began to waver.

The sugarcane farmers didn't really want to force Zhou Yongli, they were really afraid.

Sugar has been piling up in the factory for so long and cannot be sold.

There are dozens of tons of sugar cane in the field, but no one buys them.

The market price outside fell again and again, making people completely hopeless.

No matter how optimistic they are, they are still nervous and panicked at this time.

And the ledger that Xu Dong stole was the last straw that crushed their trust in Zhou Yongli.

They are eager to grab a life-saving straw, no matter if it is [-]% lower than the current market price, it is like a robber who takes advantage of the fire.

But now, Zhou Yongli is willing to compensate them for their losses as ordered, and at a price that is [-]% higher than the market price.

Losing on the one hand and making a profit on the other, anyone who is not stupid knows how to choose.

Seeing this, Xu Dong panicked.

He agreed to assist Luo Congshi, but first accepted 5000 yuan.

If things are done, there are still [-].

Twenty-five thousand!

With this money, he can directly move to Changjing City and start a business by himself.

Xu Dong hurriedly said loudly: "How can you guarantee? There is no money in the factory! It is clearly written in the ledger that there is no money! If there is money, he will not even be able to pay the workers' wages? He will give everyone IOUs? If he had money, my family and I would not have received money for two months!"

Zhou Yongli was extremely angry: "Xu Dong, you have no conscience for saying this! I settled the wages of the workers in the factory, and both of you also settled the settlement. It was you who came back and put the two months' wages on my desk, saying The factory is in trouble now, and you two don’t take it. In the end, I gave the money to Aunt Xu, why are you slandering and splashing dirty water now?”

Xu Dong suddenly turned his head and stared at his mother-in-law, but Aunt Xu was too guilty to respond.

Suffering from boredom, Xu Dong had no choice but to change the subject and ambiguously pass.

At the beginning, the salary was returned, mainly for the position of workshop director.

Unexpectedly, the stupid woman with shallow eyelids took the money back.

Xu Dong: "Why don't you talk about the IOUs? The wages of the workers are low, and the IOUs owed to everyone are the big ones. The account books are here, the factory has no money, and the assets of Director Zhou may not be so much. He must not be able to pay it back."

These words straightened everyone who was shaking, and acquiesced to Xu Dong's words.

Xu Dong: "Old Luo, please persuade the factory manager, be fair. You are the village head, and you have to take full responsibility for everything you say. Our entire village's economy declined last year, and if it continues to decline this year, we will not meet the targets. The name of the first village is gone! Village head Luo!"

Father Luo glanced at Xu Dong and put out his cigarette butt: "If you are willing to listen to my advice, I hope that everyone will trust Director Zhou. But as the village head, I hope that everyone will not lose money this year and that the economy of Xiling Village will rise steadily. .”

Xu Dong showed a happy smile.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, their hearts were greatly shaken.

Father Luo: "So, I support Director Zhou."

"Director Zhou has no money, but he sells all the money, and he will definitely return the money to everyone. You can see his character. I, Luo Congshu, let go today. If the money owed by Director Zhou is not paid, I will follow Return. Smashing pots to sell iron, selling houses to sell blood, and returning all the money to everyone!"

Mother Luo hurried home, rummaged through the boxes in the room, and was about to go out after getting the land deed.

Seeing this, Luo Bai asked curiously, "Mom, what are you doing with these?"

Mother Luo pulled Luo Bai to her side, spread out the land deed, bank notes and all the valuables in the house, and put them in front of him.

"Dabao, help mom estimate how much these are worth?"

The Luo family real estate is still valuable, but the liquid assets are less.

Most of the real estate is left by the previous generation, which is relatively rich compared to most people.

Really care about it, or less.

Luo Bai: "Real estate plus current assets, the total is [-]."

Thousands of households.

In the 90s, it was considered rich, but since 92, the country's economy has developed wildly, and the value of 97 yuan has begun to depreciate.By around [-], millionaires had replaced the word ten thousand households.

Mother Luo: "In order to support you Uncle Zhou, your father promised in public to help Uncle Zhou pay back all the IOUs owed to the sugarcane farmers, and the price was [-]% higher than the market price of sugar cane. On the other end, Xu Donggao sang about Uncle Zhou and your father If you have no money, you can’t afford to talk big. Your Uncle Zhou has already gone to the city to ask someone to liquidate the assets, and I will come back quickly to settle the matter. Look, is this enough?"

Luo Bai shook his head: "Not enough."

Not only is it not enough, it is far from it.

Now the price of sugar is 1700 yuan per ton, while the price of sugar cane purchased this year is between 80 and 90 yuan per ton.If there is a family of sugarcane farmers in Xiling Village who plant ten mu of land, each mu can produce 4 tons of sugar cane.It takes 4000 yuan to buy all the sugar cane from a sugarcane farmer. Fortunately, there are not many sugarcane farmers in Xiling Village, but it will cost at least 40 to [-] to buy all the sugarcane farmers.

3 yuan is equivalent to a drop in the bucket, which is of little use.

According to Luo Bai's approximate estimate based on the sugar factory and Zhou Yongli's net worth, it is at most a hundred thousand.

There is a difference of 30 million, unless you promise to pay it off slowly.

But now there is another way to get the money at once. I am afraid that the sugarcane farmers will not choose to trust Zhou Yongli.

Luo's mother was anxious: "Then what should we do now? Xu Dong and Tang Zhen's channel is cheating sugarcane farmers, so we can't let them succeed."

Luo Bai played the playbook: "It's okay, I'm still here."

Mother Luo was puzzled: "You? Dabao, don't mess around."

Luo Bai: "No nonsense, I have money.
