Volume 1 Ten Years of Silence Chapter 35 The First Meeting (1)
After the father and son made a heart-to-heart, Chen Xiao obviously felt that his father's attitude towards him had changed, but he couldn't say what it was!
Originally, Chen's father still wanted to slowly think about setting up a factory, but Chen Xiao strongly advocated that the sooner the better, after all, now that the tea mountain is also divided, it is not of much significance for the old factory to be scattered! Other people must also be staring at this cake, just because the problem of funds is still weighing in their hearts! Moreover, this factory is not just said to be done, first of all, it will definitely not work in half a year! This is also the difficulty of township enterprises!
As for digging wells, Chen Xiao proposed to simply leave it to his brother-in-law and brother-in-law to do it, and just sit and collect the money by himself, although it will reduce a part of the profit, but compared with the tea factory, this money can only be regarded as a small amount of money!
Of course, this proposal has been approved by Chen's father! In the past few days, Chen's father has also persuaded the fourth grandfather and Uncle Fusheng that the family card has played a lot, but there is no lack of interests behind it!
Chen Xiao couldn't do this thing by applying, but the fourth grandfather didn't do much before, and the large and small applications in the village were all through his hands, and the application for setting up a factory this time was naturally handed over to him!
Naturally, several applications must be prepared, and the villages, towns, and counties all have to be handed up layer by layer, and the uncle is the village head, and the village must be fine, and the township and town should be suppressed, but there should still be procedures, and skipping the level is a taboo in officialdom! Chen Xiao is sure that he can persuade Qi Zetao to help, but he also needs a suitable excuse!
A few days after the application was submitted to the township, Hong Bang, the village head of Baisha Village next door to Chen Village, and Li Nianxue, the village party secretary, were drinking together!
"I went to the countryside this morning, and they told me that someone had submitted an application to set up a tea factory!" Li Nianxue said!
"Who is it? is it from our old tea factory?" Hong Bang hurriedly asked!
"It should be, they said that the applicant was Chen Gui (Chen's father), but I guess the person behind it must be Chen Nan (fourth grandfather)!"
"Didn't Chen Nan tell him before, let's open the scene and let him come over to help him share dividends!"
"Well, it's been talked about before! Could it be that he doesn't like this money and wants to do it alone!"
"Impossible, you and I can guess how much money Chen Nan has, as for Chen Gui, not to mention, they are all poor peasants, I don't believe they can take hundreds of thousands!" Hong Bang said confidently!
"Hundreds of thousands can't be taken out, tens of thousands can still be taken out!"
"You mean they're going to buy the old factory's machines?"
"Don't rule out all kinds of possibilities!" Li Nianxue said!
"Then they are miscalculated, and the tea factory is not up to him, we can pay for it, and even at a much smaller price than theirs, we can take it down!"
Hong Bang and Li Nianxue couldn't have imagined that this matter was led by Chen's father, and what was even more unexpected was that Chen Xiao didn't have the idea of hitting the old factory machines at all, and Chen Xiao really couldn't look down on those old machines!
"That's the reason, but it doesn't make sense!"
"In the township, you let them help you press it down first! He thinks he's taking the lead, and he can't get the application approved, I'll see what he can do!"
"I've already been informed of this!"
"But we also have to hurry up ourselves, this matter has been dragging on sooner or later, something will happen!"
"If it weren't for the fact that the two of them almost didn't need to go to them, those people didn't want to pay the money, not to mention that their appetites were bigger than the other!" Li Nianxue said helplessly!
"Who's to say it isn't!"
It's been more than a week since the application was handed over, and during this time, Chen Nan went to urge him several times and came back, and he didn't even accept the money!
Chen Xiao knew that it was time for him to go out at this time, although it was not appropriate for him to do this thing at his age, but he was the only one who wanted to persuade Qi Zetao to help, after all, not everyone could draw this cake!
Chen Xiao rushed to the county with the pre-rain hairy tip Chen Xiao had prepared earlier! He also knew what Qi Zetao was like, and if he took something else, he would definitely not accept it!
Until they were almost there, Chen Xiao was still thinking about how to meet Qi Zetao! It was almost impossible for ordinary people to meet the county magistrate, not to mention that Chen Xiao looked like a child!
Chen Xiao has been waiting for an opportunity on the edge of the county party committee, if there is no suitable opportunity, he will definitely not rush over, because if the doorman stops you for the first time, it is impossible to go in the second time!
There was no suitable opportunity until it was almost time to eat lunch, Chen Xiao was already hungry!
Suddenly, not far away, a little girl of the same age as Chen Xiao walked around, carrying a lunch box in her hand! Chen Xiao knew that it must be the family of a certain leader in the county government, after all, there were no residential buildings near the county government!
Chen Xiao had an idea and walked over!
"Hello!"
"You... Okay!" Qi Sisi was startled by Chen Xiao who suddenly came over!
"Can you take me in? I have something to do with the county magistrate!"
"No, what are you looking for my dad?" If it weren't for Chen Xiao's age and Qi Sisi's similarity, Qi Sisi might not have answered a stranger!
"County Magistrate Qi is your father?"
"Hmm!" Qi Sisi realized that he had slipped out!
"My name is Chen Xiao, and your father asked my grandfather for a doctor!" Chen Xiao didn't expect to meet Qi Zetao's daughter!
"I don't know, I haven't heard my dad say it!"
"It's okay, you just have to take me in!"
"No, you can't get past the doorman!"
"You just say I'm your brother!"
Qi Sisi glanced at Chen Xiao!
"Or my brother can do it!" Chen Xiao continued to plead!
"Still no!" Qi Sisi thought for a few seconds and continued!
"Why?" Chen Xiao almost thought he had convinced Qi Sisi!
"Why do you want to see my dad so much, I don't know any ulterior secrets, and my dad never let me get involved in his affairs!"
"Do you think I look like a bad person?"
"Bad people don't write on their faces, in short, they just can't!" Qi Sisi continued to refuse!
"Tell me, how can you be willing to help me?"
Qi Sisi didn't answer, turned around and walked over! After walking a few steps, he stopped and said again!
"I can tell my dad that someone is looking for him, but I can't care if my dad can't see you!"
"The great kindness of the heroine has nothing to repay, she only wants to tie the grass in the next life......" Hearing this, Chen Xiao couldn't help but be overjoyed!
Qi Sisi snorted and entered the gate of the county government!
"Let's go!" said after about ten minutes!
Chen Xiao walked over! When the doorman arrived, he naturally made all kinds of inspections, and even the tea cans were opened and carefully checked!
With a "come in", Chen Xiao followed Qi Sisi into Qi Zetao's office! Chen Xiao glanced at it casually, and the first feeling was that it was small, and it seemed that the saying of "snail dwelling" was not untargeted!
"Uncle Qi, okay!" Chen Xiao said hello!
"Sit down!" Qi Zetao, who was eating, greeted Chen Xiao!
Chen Xiao found a chair opposite Qi Zetao and sat down, and casually put the tea he brought at his feet!
"Sisi, you stay away!"
Qi Sisi knew the rules, opened the door and walked out!
"Wait a while and go out and take things away!" Seeing Chen Xiao bring things in, Qi Zetao said, his tone was very stiff!
"Uncle Qi misunderstood, just a can of home-made spring tea!" Chen Xiao hurriedly explained! I didn't plan to bring it in, but I didn't have a place to put it! Even if I gave gifts, I wasn't so open-minded!
"Your grandfather is okay!" Qi Zetao's tone softened slightly!
"The body is still tough!"
"Say, what's the matter with me? I only have so much time!" Qi Zetao spread out the chopsticks in his hand! Chen Xiao was also in a hurry, and it was time for Qi Zetao to eat!
"This application is troublesome, Uncle Qi will take a look first!" Chen Xiao took out the application from his bag and handed it over!
Qi Zetao put down his chopsticks and took the application and looked at it! Chen Xiao took the opportunity to look at Qi Zetao!
The clothes look very old, but they are ironed very neatly! He sits very straight, his hand joints are thick and long, and he should have been a soldier! His face unconsciously reveals a kind of majesty, and he will have this kind of temperament after being an official for a long time!
"The idea is good, it's just that you're looking for the wrong person! This matter is not in my hands, and the application must be submitted layer by layer before it reaches the county in the end!" Qi Zetao returned to Chen Xiao after reading it!
"This application can't reach the county, and some people don't pay it!"
"This reason can't convince me!" Qi Zetao understood why Chen Xiao found himself!
"I can run this factory well, I can lead everyone to be well-off, and I can let the tea in Yangshan County go out of Shaanxi Province and go to the whole country!"
"Why? Just rely on you to take the lead in fighting against grain?" Before Chen Xiao could finish speaking, Qi Zetao asked lightly!
"......" Chen Xiao didn't expect Qi Zetao to say that!
"Things can't be done with courage alone, you must think carefully before doing things again! Who wouldn't say big things!" Chen Xiao knew that Qi Zetao meant something else!
"With the fact that I am only 14 years old this year, I can earn money to set up a factory!" If you can't convince Qi Zetao, you will return in vain!
"How did you make money to set up a factory?
"Uncle Qi, don't worry, my sources of money are above board, I don't know if you have heard of the dust-free blackboard, Mu Xue has my shares!" If you want to convince Qi Zetao, an old fritter who doesn't eat hard and soft, Chen Xiao can only throw out a killer feature! Mu Xue Qi Zetao must have heard of it, after all, there are many advertisements, and the mayor has been to inspect them!
Qi Zetao was shocked!
"I can't figure out why?"
"Our Yangshan County is too poor!" The purpose of setting up his own factory is not only to find an easy job for Chen's father and Chen's mother, but also to lead everyone to get rid of poverty and become rich together, so this intention must let Qi Zetao know that he is not trying to make money, Mu Xue is not bad for money!
Qi Zetao was silent, he didn't expect that one day a fourteen-year-old boy would resonate with him! Isn't this the purpose of staying in Yangshan County for so many years!
