Chapter 5: Starfire
That day, Zou Qixian and Zhang Yunqi talked until the evening, after returning to Longwan Town, lying in bed late at night, Zou Qixian couldn't sleep after turning over and over, Zhang Yunqi's words were like an awl, and every word hit the heart of the mayor of Buyi, who was at a loss.
This young man is really a rare young man! What he thinks and thinks about is indeed seeking great blessings for the common people, because with the backing of the Longjingyuan cannery and the underwriting contract, the problem of selling agricultural products, which is the biggest headache for the croppers, is no longer a problem, and in the name of the Longwan town government, it is undoubtedly a great political achievement for him to carry out a pilot project of joint-stock crop planting cooperatives in Yunxi Village.
After a night of careful deliberation, he had firmly believed that this incident could be the most important turning point in his career.
Early the next morning, he approached Liao Xiangming, director of the town's credit cooperative, to negotiate the provision of special loans for crop planting cooperatives to the villagers of Yunxi Village.
The mayor of the town came forward, and it was for the great thing of Longwan Town's economic construction, Liao Xiangming naturally had no reason to refuse, but such a large sum of money, and the loan objects were all unsettled local farmers, he was a little reluctant to take the risk of direct lending, and finally after several consultations with Zou Qixian, he asked to provide this money to the villagers of Yunxi Village in the form of farmers' joint guarantee loans.
Zhang Haijun, director of the Yunxi Village Committee, immediately learned from Zou Qixian that the town credit cooperatives were willing to provide this policy loan to the village, and after thinking about it repeatedly, he felt that this was a good thing, so he immediately set up a joint guarantee group for peasant households in Yunxi Village with Zhang Guorui, the village party secretary, and other cadres of the village committee, and convened a meeting of the villagers to discuss the matter of borrowing money to become a shareholder of the cooperative.
Who knows, as soon as this matter was revealed, it caused a turmoil in Yunxi Village. In the memories of the older generation in the village, this scene only appeared during the cooperative land reform and the production responsibility system. As soon as it was dark, the croppers threw their rice bowls and the soles of their shoes cracked, and they poured into the tattered little hall to shout about the loan to buy shares in the cooperative.
Most of the women and old-fashioned old people in the village are against loans, and they are shaking badly when they borrow 1280 on weekdays, so how dare they borrow so much money? What makes them even more anxious is that this is still a joint guarantee loan, and once the cooperative encounters any danger, they will not only have to repay their own share, but also have to bear joint and several responsibility!
However, their views are not destined to become mainstream.
This is not discrimination against women and the elderly, but the natural law of human society.
The vast majority of the young men who have really been in charge of their own affairs have a positive attitude towards this matter. They are not afraid of loans. This is a matter of borrowing capital to make money, although the credit union's loan has to be repaid within a limited time, and the interest has to be carried, but this cooperative is a long-term thing, do it for a year, these debts can make a lot of money, if it goes on in three years and five years, every household will have to get rich and oil!
Besides, if you want to do a career, but you don't want to take a little risk, how can this career take off?
After a few days of noisy and noisy, everything was quickly settled, and the opinion of taking out a loan to join the cooperative finally took over the absolute upper hand, and the reckless young and strong man wanted to run a business, and he could not say that the handful of village women who were shorter than their hair could not be pulled by nine mad cows! In the end, 68 of the 79 households in Yunxi Village signed the name of the head of the household on the registration form of intention to cooperate with the crop planting cooperative.
Zhang Yunqi, who had been busy with this matter for many days, got the list from Zhang Haijun for the first time, and when he saw the handwritten names on it densely packed like centipedes crawling over, he suddenly felt a heavy feeling in his heart.
He has always believed that the best way to solve the current situation is to get farmers to join the cooperative through credit loans, although this approach seems to be a bit impersonal to him, forcing the villagers into a situation where they have been on the road since ancient Huashan.
It's just that at this point, the establishment of Yunxi Village joint-stock crop planting professional cooperatives is no longer to realize his personal ambitions and ambitions, and every crooked and distorted name on this list is entrusted to the villagers' most simple and primitive desire to get rich, burning with the spark of the Chinese farmers in the 90s who are not willing to be trapped in the quagmire of poverty forever!
Of course, the benefits of this joint-stock cooperative can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, but how can those bankers in the village not tremble when they take out such a large sum of money with an unknown and dangerous loan? How many days and nights have they been unable to sleep at night over this matter? How many times have they quarreled or even fought with their mother-in-law in the family with a red face?
You must know that this form of joint-stock cooperatives, the villagers of Yunxi Village have never encountered before, China's farmers' professional cooperatives, the real origin of the time point is not far away, probably in the mid-80s, the main motive is naturally the establishment of the household production contract system, which has stimulated the enthusiasm of China's vast number of peasants in production, and is born in line with the continuous deepening of the reform of the specialization, commercialization, socialization and marketization of China's agricultural production.
In the early and mid-90s, the Chinese farmers' professional cooperative organizations really took off, and the establishment methods, service contents and organizational systems have been diversified, multi-form and multi-level development.
Among them, Zhang Yunqi's impression is more famous is the Handan model that emerged in 1989, its main feature is the combination of government and the people, and the Laiyang model established in 1994 is set up by farmers independently, in addition, there are other forms of economic cooperation organizations that were extremely famous in the 90s, such as the Ningjin model and the Jiangshan model.
As for the model of "peasant households + joint-stock cooperatives + companies" initiated by Zhang Yunqi in Yunxi Village, it was not yet available in China at that time, and the advanced nature of this model is mainly reflected in the fact that it not only realizes the labor union of laborers and the capital union of laborers in the economic form of joint-stock cooperatives, and forms a new organizational system and management system for agriculture with the advantages of the two, but also uses cooperatives as a link to integrate farmers, cooperatives, and processing enterprises. Sales enterprises and other business entities have joined forces to form a modern agricultural integrated management system.
There is no doubt that such an advanced and novel peasant economic organization, after its appearance, will inevitably cause great repercussions at all levels of society, but Zhang Yunqi knows very well in his heart that for those mud-legged people in Yunxi Village, the extremely limited knowledge makes them unable to deeply realize this level, they are all already poor, and they may suffer from gains and losses because of the high capital for joining the society, but they are not afraid of policy issues, and some of them do not even think much about the consequences.
What they must know is that the walls of the latrines at the entrance of the village are painted with slogans such as "Focusing on economic construction" and "Poverty is not socialism." By doing so, they can earn more money through planting cooperatives while taking care of their own crops.
In the next two days, Zhang Yunqi saw that the hot-headed croppers in the village were already immersed in a chaotic excitement.
On the day of raising shares, Zhang Guorui, secretary of the village party committee, presided over the meeting, Niu Fen, deputy general manager of Liansheng, Zou Qixian, mayor of the town, and Liao Xiangming, director of the town credit cooperative, whom he invited.
According to the share ratio plan proposed by Zhang Yunqi, farmers contributed 120,000 yuan, accounting for 40% of the shares. Although the total share capital of 120,000 yuan is evenly divided, the share capital that each farmer in the village needs to pay is more than 1,700 yuan, but this is only a rough calculation, and the actual situation is different, because the share capital is not fixed, but according to 300 yuan per share, the farmer household buys at least three shares, and the more is not limited.
When the meeting came to pay the shares, the rude farmer stung like a hornet, squeezed the long table where the collection and accounting was kept, and the sound of excitement came and went in the tattered little hall.
"Accountant Tian, 900 yuan! I want to buy 3 shares!"
"Don't squeeze the people in the back! This is 1200 yuan, I want to buy 4 shares!"
"2100 yuan, I want to buy 7 shares!"
"1600 yuan, I want to buy 6 shares!"
......
In the chaotic stock purchase, the farmer with the most shares soon appeared, and it was Zhang Haijun, the village director, who bought 15 shares for 4,500 yuan by himself!
Of course, most of the farmers who want to join the cooperative but have no money, or do not have enough money, can register their names to apply for credit loans, and when the time comes, the town credit cooperatives will directly lend money to the passbook account opened by the Yunxi Village Committee, which is responsible for preparing for the establishment of the cooperative.
Zhang Yunqi did not see the scene of the village raising shares.
At that time, he had already driven back to Jiangchuan City overnight.
For the villagers of Yunxi Village, the crop planting professional cooperative has carried all their hopes on the road to prosperity, but this hope is based on the development of Liansheng, because it is a big back-end of the Liansheng system that Zhang Yunqi wants to build, a baggage force that transports artillery shells.
At present, Longjingyuan is about to resume work, as the actual controller of this canning factory, Zhang Yunqi has too many other things to take care of, the personnel adjustment of the senior management team of Liansheng Zhongtai and the business combing of various business lines and the update and iteration of new canned food, the formulation of large front-end marketing strategies and the construction of distribution channels, all need Zhang Yunqi to set the tone, and tomorrow is Liansheng's senior management meeting, all Longjingyuan section chief-level employees must participate, Zhang Yunqi must rush back.
Niu Fen did not go back with Zhang Yunqi.
Zhang Yunqi has handed over all the follow-up matters of the Yunxi Village Crop Planting Cooperative to him, including assisting the Yunxi Village Committee in handling the procedures of the cooperative, convening the general meeting of the cooperative members to elect the chairman, and the signing ceremony of the underwriting agreement between the Longwan Town Government and Longjingyuan Canning Factory. It can be said that Niu Fen is now the head of the big back-end of the Liansheng system, although this is a bit of a suspicion of catching ducks on the shelves, but he wants to do something for himself, and Zhang Yunqi also wants him to practice.
Ji Ling and Zhang Yunqi turned back to Jiangchuan City together.
Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, she can't stay in the countryside all the time.
It was almost eight o'clock in the evening when the two set off, and the mountain road with black lights and blind fire was not easy to walk, Ji Ling was in a good mood, and kept talking with Zhang Yunqi, but this girl couldn't stay up all night, and fell asleep while chatting.
When passing through Fengyang County, there was a sharp whistling sound outside the car window, Zhang Yunqi looked out the window, there were scattered fireworks falling in the sky, splashing countless broken lights, and the girl next to her was already asleep at that time, with tranquility on her delicate little face, and her long eyelashes left two shadows on it.
When we arrived in Jiangchuan, it was close to the early hours of the morning.
Zhang Yunqi drove the car downstairs in the residential area, stretched out his hand and pulled Ji Ling's hand, until she woke up slowly, and then said with a smile: "It's too late, I can't send you home." Why don't you stay here tonight and go home tomorrow?"
Ji Ling said in a daze, "Who am I sleeping with?"
