Chapter 4 A New Way
Zhang Haijun was very anxious about the establishment of the cooperative.
Early the next morning, he rode a motorcycle to the town government compound of Longwan Town to find the town mayor Zou Qixian.
At that time, Zou Qixian, the mayor of the town, happened to be there, holding a cup of hot strong tea, and was sitting under the old locust tree in the courtyard playing chess with Liu Weimin, the propaganda officer.
As a senior cadre, Fu Qixian's age is not too old, he looks like he is thirty-four or five years old, wearing a clean dark blue uniform, his hair is slightly combed back, and he already looks a bit of a leader, but this person has an easy-going personality and never plays those prestige.
When Zhang Haijun came in, he only raised his head to say hello to Zhang Haijun, and hurriedly raised a chess piece and slammed it on the stone chessboard: "General!"
Zhang Haijun had no choice but to walk up to Zou Qixian and say to him, "Mayor Zou, I have something to discuss with you. ”
Zou Qixian's attention seemed to be all on the chess game, and he just responded: "What's the matter?"
Zhang Haijun simply relayed Zhang Yunqi's investment in Yunxi Village.
Zou Qixian listened to Zhang Haijun's words, he was stunned at first, his hand holding the chess piece stopped in mid-air, raised his face and asked Zhang Haijun: "It's a good thing to have a boss to invest, but you said that this Zhang Yunqi is only seventeen or eighteen years old, doing such a big thing, is this reliable?"
Zhang Haijun hurriedly said: "This baby was grown up by me when I was a child, 10,000 credible, the assets of the Longjingyuan canning factory under the hands of others are tens of millions, and the cars are all millions of foreign cars imported from foreign countries, and they really came to the town to invest and help the people in our village!"
Zou Qixian's attention finally withdrew from the chessboard, he pondered for a moment, and asked, "Director Zhang, what does Mayor Ji think about this matter?"
Zhang Haijun was stunned, he didn't understand what Mayor Zou was thinking in his head. According to common sense, ordinary government officials are so excited when they hear that a big boss has come to invest in the local area, but Mayor Zou is really calm.
Zhou Haijun replied: "I don't know about this, but our village can attract investment and lead the villagers to start a business and get rich, which is really a once-in-a-lifetime good thing, Mayor Zou, my nephew Zhang Yunqi wants to talk to you about the possibility of this matter being led by the town government." Would you like to meet him?"
When Zou Qixian heard this, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he didn't show it. After all, the other party is a big boss who has come to invest! Let's get to the bottom first.
"I'll meet you. ”
Before getting up and leaving the courtyard, Zou Qixian didn't forget to turn his head and put the chess piece in his hand on the chessboard, and said to the propaganda officer: "Again!"
Yunxi Village is not far from Longwan Town, Bali Road.
However, this eight-mile road is really not easy to walk, seven winds and eight bends, ravines and ravines, all muddy mountain roads, sitting on Zhang Haijun's motorcycle, Zou Qixian's two trouser legs were soon splashed with mud, just looking at the vast mountains and fields, it is rare for him to go to the countryside, and his mind has been attracted by the dilapidated villages that dot it one by one.
As the parent official of more than 20,000 people in this deep mountain and old forest, Zou Qixian knows very well what kind of scene is hidden in these villages, as long as he thinks that after so many years, most of the villagers have not even solved the minimum problem of food and clothing, and he, the head of a town who has been playing chess in the town government compound all day long, will also feel a rare heavy heart.
In fact, when he was just transferred to Longwan Town, although this is a poor and backward mountain town in the middle of nowhere, Zou Qixian is already at the level of a regular department in his early thirties, and he can be regarded as full of ambition.
Zou Qixian knows very well in his heart that now is a good era of reform and opening up and vigorously grasping the construction of the four modernizations, as long as he shows his skills in economic construction, builds a township characteristic industry in Longwan Town, and leads the people in the town to get rid of poverty and generate income, then his career will be clear.
However, after a period of thorough investigation, he was cold-hearted, Longwan Town's land foundation is thin, the foundation is poor, the traffic is sparse, the industrial facilities are zero, the cooperation of the small people is low, and it is completely impossible to attract investment, and even the only two small township enterprises developed in the 80s have also closed down because of the reform of the management system, the monopoly of departments, the chaotic management, the congenital lack of management ability, and so on. All in all, it is too difficult to change the backward appearance of Longwan Town, and in addition to vigorously grasping family planning, it is really unrealistic to want to do some great political achievements and great undertakings to get rid of the old and make new ones.
Later, Zou Qixian slowly saw through, don't toss the little people and himself, this difficult situation in Longwan Town is really not something that he can solve with a sesame mung bean official, if you want to go up, you can only boil up your qualifications, and after ten years and eight years, maybe you can have the opportunity to be promoted to the deputy department level and enter the sequence of county leaders.
Thinking of this, Zou Qixian retracted his gaze and said to Zhang Haijun, who was riding a bicycle in front of him: "Director Zhang, you said that your big boss nephew really has such a great ability? At the age of seventeen or eighteen, he can buy tens of millions of canneries?"
Zhang Haijun saw Zou Qixian repeatedly ask about Zhang Yunqi's background, but he didn't feel numb, their Longwan Town is located in the deep mountains and old forests, the business environment is too poor, such a big satellite suddenly appeared, and the big boss with a net worth of tens of millions went to this kind of poor and remote place to invest in construction, and it is normal for Zou Qixian to have doubts in his heart.
Zhang Haijun smiled and asked, "Mayor Zou, have you eaten the canned food of the Longjingyuan brand in the city?"
Zou Qi was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I've eaten it, could it be your nephew?"
Zhang Haijun nodded with a smile: "Mayor Zou still remembers the top student in the county high school entrance examination in our Yunxi Village last year? It was my nephew, who later went to study in the city's No. 1 Middle School, and his family was poor at that time, and he had no money to support him." But this doll fights for herself, and while studying, she does some odd business to support herself. In less than half a year, he opened a large trading company in the city, and later bought the Longjingyuan canning factory in the city. ”
Zou Qixian listened to what Zhang Haijun said with a clear eye, although it was a little mysterious, but it was indeed like that, and his emotions slowly rose.
How many years have passed, Longwan Town has not been able to seek great development, although there are such and such objective constraints, but in the final analysis, there is still no big boss to invest.
Zou Qi lit a cigarette first: "Director Zhang, listening to what you say, this champion is really ambitious, not only has he broken a new world outside, but also for the benefit of the people of your whole village." ”
Zhang Haijun had a smile on his face.
At this time, the motorcycle had already arrived at the entrance of Yunxi Village.
In less than two minutes, the two got off at the door of Zhang Haijun's house.
When he entered the door, Zou Qi first glanced at the Mercedes-Benz luxury car parked outside the courtyard, and his heart became even hotter.
Under the guidance of Zhang Haijun, Zou Qixian soon met Zhang Yunqi, the young boss who had been admired for a long time, that face was indeed too young, but there was no frivolity and domineering of young people, and he spoke in an orderly manner, very calm and steady.
The two simply exchanged two words, Zhang Yunqi went straight to the topic, he handed over the operation of the Longjingyuan canning factory and the origin of the Yunxi Village Crop Planting Professional Cooperative to Zou Qixian, Zou Qixian smoked cigarettes one after another, and never interjected, but the more he listened, the more enthusiastic he became, obviously, he felt that this great thing was very good from Zhang Yunqi's words.
When talking about the specific mode of operation, Zhang Yunqi said: "Mayor Zou, my final idea is to create a company + cooperative + base + farmer model, with our Yunxi Village as the first phase of the pilot, and then the whole town to implement, but as far as the current situation is concerned, it is not realistic to immediately launch the crop planting base project, because our cultivation technology is not good, there are too few professionals, and we can only carry out extensive agricultural production, so I want to wait for the farmers of the cooperative to get started, and then choose a day to prepare, now it is simpler, and the company +." In the model of cooperatives + farmers, the farmers who join the cooperatives adopt the method of scattered planting and unified sales. In this, the key point is the cooperative. ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Yunqi saw that Zou Qixian listened with great interest, so he talked about the business foundation, organizational form, basic elements, personnel composition, profit distribution model, and so on of the new type of economic cooperation organization such as joint-stock planting professional cooperatives.
After listening to Zhang Yunqi's words, Zou Qixian immediately realized that this unprecedented joint-stock agricultural cooperative is a non-profit form of modern enterprise with the characteristics and advantages of a modern enterprise. Isn't this just right, isn't the state now vigorously calling for the establishment of a modern enterprise system? They have a weak foundation in Longwan Town, and they have never been able to run enterprises with special characteristics, and this kind of joint-stock cooperative that this young and promising big boss wants to develop is a new way!
This thought made Zou Qixian extremely excited.
The more he pondered, the more he felt that the joint-stock cooperatives were highly feasible, not only to solve the old and difficult problem of selling agricultural products, but also to unite all the croppers, with the underwriting contract as a guarantee, everyone no longer had to look ahead and backwards, and more importantly, the joint-stock system implemented by the cooperatives made everyone's interests closely related and could fully mobilize the enthusiasm of the croppers.
Thinking like this, Zhang Yunqi said to him again: "Mayor Zou, you have already understood the general framework of this professional cooperative, and the reason why Uncle Navy invited you to his home today to talk about this matter is that I hope that the town government will take the lead in organizing farmers to set up this professional crop planting cooperative, and then sign a unified underwriting agreement with Longjingyuan Canning Factory." As the overall organizer of cooperatives, the town government can play an exemplary role in helping farmers solve the problems of scientific and technological guidance, product sales, processing and value-added, jointly preventing market risks, and increasing farmers' income. ”
Zou Qixian was so shocked by Zhang Yunqi's words that his heart jumped wildly.
Although this champion is young, his level is not low at all.
This sentence "build an organization, develop an industry, and enrich the people" fully shows his extraordinary political consciousness and ideological realm. What is even more tempting is that he took the initiative to propose that the Longwan Town Government take the lead in organizing the establishment of the cooperative. For such a great achievement, Zou Qixian has no reason to refuse at all.
Of course, Zhang Yunqi promised so many good things, and Zou Qixian was not good at picking peaches, he said: "Boss Zhang, as a famous entrepreneur in the city, you can go back to your hometown to invest and start a business and support the construction of your hometown." This kind of innocent love to return to his hometown is really admirable. Here, I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of the more than 20,000 people in the town! I think the big idea of this Yunxi Village Crop Planting Cooperative you put forward is very much in line with the situation of Yunxi Village and even the entire Longwan Town, which can promote the development of planting industry and promote the increase of production and income of peasant households, so the town government will definitely give full support to you. ”
Zhang Yunqi and Zou Qixian talked for a long time, just waiting for this sentence, he said with a smile: "There is no big problem, but there is a small matter at the moment, which may need to be coordinated and solved by the town government, that is, the problem of funds for farmers to buy shares." The specific share ratio of the crop professional planting cooperative is Longjingyuan invested 180,000 yuan, accounting for 60% of the shares, and the farmers who joined the cooperative contributed 120,000 yuan, accounting for 40% of the shares. According to the preliminary statistics made by the village committee, according to the number of peasant households willing to join the cooperative, each household will receive more than 1,700 yuan. Most of the farmers in the village will definitely not be able to pay such a sum of money, so I thought, can the town provide some loan support through the credit union to the farmers who want to join the cooperative but lack some funds?"
When Zou Qixian heard this, he immediately thought about it, and the Longwan town government took the lead in raising the cooperative's shares through credit cooperatives to farmers with loans, which was no problem in operation, and if he did a good job, he might still apply for financial support and financial credit concessions, and from another point of view, through credit loans, the town government he represented could play a real leading role in this project.
It's just that in this, there is one thing that Zou Qixian can't understand, and he said euphemistically in a joking tone: "Boss Zhang, the 120,000 yuan of shares must be an astronomical amount for the farmers in the village, but for you, it's just a drizzle, and you can pay out of your own pocket to fund these old folks." ”
Zhang Yunqi laughed when he heard this.
He was not surprised by this question, didn't most of the villagers in Yunxi Village also look forward to him paying this money?
But this is not possible.
Why?
The first point is that he is the boss of Longjingyuan to run the Yunxi Village Cooperative Project, representing the entire Longjingyuan, and if this money is paid, it is not in line with the interests of other shareholders and factory employees.
The second point is that if he personally pays this money, it is even if he lends it to the farmers. Money is naturally no problem. But in this way, 60% of the funds for the establishment of the cooperative are actually Longjingyuan's and 40% are his own. The farmers didn't pay for it. The peasant households will even hold the mentality that if they lose this money, they will not pay him back, because in the eyes of the peasant households, he Zhang Yunqi is a big boss and a villager and can afford to lose it! How can he tear his face with his hometown father and old man for this little money?
In this way, the peasant households have zero input and are not absolute interest associations, and if the cooperatives fail, they will not be greatly affected, so how can he ensure that the various policies and systems of the cooperatives can be truly implemented and stimulate the maximum labor productivity? What is the significance of the joint-stock cooperative crop planting cooperatives that he wants to implement?
He might as well open a planting company himself!
The third point, the most important point, if he personally paid this money, how could it be Zou Qixian, the mayor of Longwan Town, to intervene in this foot?
Government-enterprise cooperation, with Chinese characteristics.
As an emerging product, professional farmer cooperatives, together with the household contract system, township enterprises, villagers' autonomy, migrant workers moving to the city, and the reform of the collective forest tenure system, have been collectively called the six major creations of hundreds of millions of farmers in China's rural reform in the past 30 years by later economists. In particular, the professional cooperative he wants to set up is still a joint-stock system, and the model is extremely advanced, and in 1994, looking at the whole of China, there will never be a second case.
Zhang Yunqi realized from this that since he wanted to do this, he must take precautions, and in terms of public opinion guidance and policy support, he must build a line from top to bottom to help him shelter him from the wind and rain and help him publicize and build momentum.
There is no doubt that Zou Qixian, the mayor of Longwan Town, is the basic end of this line. Through the town government's coordination of credit cooperatives to provide credit loans to farmers in the village, he not only solved the problem of farmers' shares, but also was able to deeply bind the Longwan town government and Zou Qixian to this project. Why be so stupid as to pay for the farmers' shares?
Of course, this kind of thing can't be said to Zou Qixian.
Zhang Yunqi took a sip of strong tea with an enamel cup, and said to Zou Qixian: "Mayor Zou, from the perspective of feelings, I can indeed pay for this money, and there is no problem, money is not the key, but the key is the model of the joint-stock cooperative that I want to build, and whether its design logic and operating mechanism are reasonable and pioneering." I think that if I paid this money for my hometown fathers, then its logic is unreasonable. ”
