Chapter 143 Village officials unanimously agreed
Why did Zhao Zhongcai trust Lu Yuanqing so much?
This kind of trust cannot be gained in just one or two interactions.
Rather, it was Lu Yuanqing's attitude towards doing things that earned him his full trust.
Just like now, Lu Yuanqing's proposal made several village cadres hesitate, worrying about this and that, but Lu Yuanqing confidently accepted their questions one by one!
"Open a bamboo ware factory? Ha! What a joke! What about the sales channels? Who would you sell it to?" Zhao Lide was the first to speak.
This is baseless nonsense. He wasn't targeting Lu Yuanqing; he was simply pointing out how difficult the matter was!
Before the town strictly prohibited markets, ordinary people were allowed to bring vegetables grown on their own land, as well as some bamboo baskets, brooms, and other items they had woven themselves, to the market to exchange for money.
Even if it was allowed in the past, these bamboo baskets were something that every household in their area had an elder who knew how to weave, so they couldn't be sold for much money!
So, while there are vendors selling these things at the market, business isn't booming.
Naturally, Zhao Lide and his group immediately dismissed it as nonsense.
Even though many young people nowadays no longer waste time learning this kind of bamboo weaving, those in each village who know how are still doing well, and they can just exchange other things for it.
So, if their village wants to build a bamboo ware factory, who will buy the bamboo baskets and other similar products? This is a problem that really needs to be solved.
Lu Yuanqing didn't blame Zhao Lide at all, and knew that the man had no ill intentions about the matter; he was just sincerely stating what he thought was the problem.
Therefore, he was not annoyed, but said, "This matter can be resolved. There is a large factory in the city, a bamboo ware factory. I saw it when I took Xiao Huan and the others to school. I even met a junior manager in the factory. I chatted with him for a while and learned that their factory sorts out some items and gives small orders, such as bamboo baskets, to nearby villages!"
“Brother Cheng was with me at the time, and he knew that this couldn’t be faked!”
Lu Yuanqing wasn't talking nonsense.
However, what he didn't say was that he already knew about the bamboo ware factory in the city, and he found out about it by reading the newspaper every day.
However, on that trip to the city, he met a minor official and made some connections, which was something he did intentionally.
"Is that so?" Zhao Zhongcai asked in confusion.
Lu Yuanqing nodded. "The bamboo ware factories in the city are very large, and their sales channels are all to other provinces. They have their own sales channels, so there's no need to worry at all. I talked to that junior leader and I know that their demand for products has always been very high, so they usually go to several villages and make some simple products for them, and they are paid by piecework!"
"My current plan is to build a bamboo ware factory in our village, in the name of the village. Of course, the factory can't be built in a hurry, because the team has limited money right now and it can't be built."
"My idea is that we take the orders from the city and then distribute them to the villagers. Everyone will earn as much as they produce."
"Captain, village secretary, as you both know, our village has plenty of bamboo, so we don't need to worry about raw materials. Therefore, we don't need to worry about the initial investment. As for the fact that not all villagers can do it, that can also be solved. We can have experienced people teach them!"
“What if you can’t teach them? There are also people who are clumsy!” Zhou Ping said.
Lu Yuanqing smiled and said, "First of all, regarding the issue of making money, I think there's no need to worry about the enthusiasm of everyone here today or the villagers!"
"Once they know they can make money by learning it, they might not even need us to remind them; they'll learn it on their own!"
"Another thing is that some people are just clumsy and can't learn it, but can they cut bamboo strips? We work in families, and some villagers can specialize in tying bamboo strips, while others specialize in cutting them."
“At the beginning, we can have everyone learn together. Those who learn well will be recognized by everyone, and then the village’s bamboo can be distributed to them. Those who don’t learn can help their families cut bamboo strips!”
"Whether it's cutting bamboo strips or tying bamboo baskets, which of these steps doesn't require someone to do it? Surely not every household has a single person who can't learn it!"
Xia Yongshou nodded thoughtfully, "In this way, making money will be done on a family basis. I think even if they are not good at it, they will have to continue to learn!"
Lu Yuanqing laughed: "That's right. There's no way our village factory can be built right now, but nominally it's still mainly our production team that makes the money collectively!"
"Each household will receive a certain amount of bamboo and a certain amount of finished products. The payment will be based on the quality of the finished products. A special person will be needed to inspect the goods to ensure quality. Only the well-made products will be accepted, and the poorly made products will not be accepted."
"You know, this bread bowl is very popular. I heard that the city sells bread bowls overseas every year!"
Lu Yuanqing has big ambitions. He's not just thinking about selling bread bowls abroad; he wants to sell all these wonderful bamboo-woven products overseas and make money off those foreigners.
Of course, everything needs to be done gradually!
"Sold overseas?" The group was quite surprised!
Indeed, bamboo ware factories in the city are already far removed from their lives, let alone overseas; they rarely even hear about them.
"That would be a huge boost to our reputation!" Xia Yongshou said, his expression showing a hint of excitement.
If their bamboo-woven products can be sold abroad in the future, that will truly bring them pride!
Zhao Zhongcai was also excited.
Immediately, the cadres no longer had any thoughts of opposition and began to look forward to it.
Lu Yuanqing: "..."
This is a bit speechless!
He hasn't even shown his full potential yet!
You agreed so easily?
“Okay, let’s do it!” Xia Yongshou, who usually doesn’t like to express his opinions, made the decision directly this time. “We’ll do it. Yuan Qing is a shrewd businessman. Since he became the village accountant, the village has been doing better and better. I trust him!”
“Young people always have more ideas! Yuanqing, if you want to build a factory, I support you!” Zhao Lide also agreed, completely unlike his initial strong opposition.
Lu Yuanqing: "..."
Well... that was a bit unexpected!
Even though he never takes the lead and always pushes Zhao Zhongcai to the front to shoulder everything, why do they still know that it was him who proposed everything?
Zhao Zhongcai chuckled, turned around and started talking to Xia Yongshou about the specifics of what was to come, ignoring Lu Yuanqing's suspicious gaze!
Lu Yuanqing, that silly boy, always thought he had kept it a secret.
They completely forgot that none of the village officials are fools.
With Zhao Zhongcai as the brigade leader, everyone knows what the village is like.
Ironically, after Lu Yuanqing became the accountant, Zhao Zhongcai began to "reform".
Moreover, don't be fooled by the fact that Zhao Zhongcai and Lu Yuanqing are the only two people doing everything.
However, it was always Lu Yuanqing who actually got things done.
Xia Yongshou and the others saw it all, but they just didn't say anything.
Of course, at first they were just watching to see what would happen, seeing this young man, Lu Yuanqing, mess around.
But even though he's young, he's managed to do things that have surprised everyone, and so far, there hasn't been much opposition to his proposals!
Only Lu Yuanqing still believed that he had kept his actions well hidden and that Zhao Zhongcai had been covering for him!
Little did he know that among the current village officials, he was trusted far more than Zhao Zhongcai.
Even Zhao Zhongcai himself felt this way!
Although they are young, everyone can see that the village is getting better.
Let them do whatever they want!
