Chapter 299: New Year's Festival (End)
In the first month of the New Year, relatives, friends, colleagues, and business partners have to greet each other and bring some gifts.
Zhang Weimin, who came to pay New Year's greetings to Li Chuanlin, gave gifts that were very high-end, the cigarettes were 'Great China' smoked by the main leaders of the county, and the wine was the 'Four Special and Fifteen-Year Aged Liquor' used by the county leaders to entertain the higher-level leaders, which was far more high-end than the 'Furong King' that Li Jiaming took when he went to pay New Year's greetings in previous years. And the three of them distributed red envelopes to every child, even the hairy cubs who were in the grandma's house, and the red envelopes were all 100 yuan bills.
After paying New Year's greetings at Li Chuanlin's house, and then going to several other houses, the three of them were empty-handed, saying a few auspicious words, drinking a cup of tea, eating a glass of wine, and smoking a cigarette before leaving. Don't blame them for being snobbish, it's really human affection, this thing is a saw, and the emphasis is on you coming and going.
Zhang Weimin is a little better, he has long been the biggest wood dealer in Chongxiang, and he is familiar with the official relationship, and because of his son Zhang Shaolong's relationship, he is commensurate with Li Jiaming's uncle and nephew. In the past, before the Li family was developed, he took the initiative to help anyone who could help in big and small things, and even his cousin hacked Li Jiaming's money, and he was severely reprimanded by him. Zeng Ningsheng and Lin Quanbao are different, they can be said to have started by Li Jiaming, not only do the villagers see it this way, but they also think so in their hearts.
Five years ago, both of them rented Li Jiaming's store at a sky-high price of 2,500 yuan/month, and now five years later, the store rent is still 2,500/month, which is more expensive than the store in the county. But people are willing to continue to pay this high price, because Li Jiaming's idea is worth that price, let alone that Li Jiaming later asked them to raise funds to build a bamboo and wood processing factory, and now the family property of the two is two or three million!
There may be something wrong with the Li family this year, Li Jiaming didn't go to their house to pay New Year's greetings, but a few of them carried cigarettes to beg for New Year's money, and the three of them got together to come over to pay New Year's greetings first, and by the way, they also discussed with Li Chuanlin about opening a new factory next year. The business of building formwork is good, the orders in the factory cannot be won, and the local resources are not enough, so they can only expand outward. But if their new factory is opened in another county, and Li Chuanlin does not move, then the transportation cost will be enough to choke.
Yes, the resources from other counties can't come in, or they are stuck in traffic, and the more than 30 kilometers of winding mountain roads can't take big trailers, and how many goods can be loaded by relying on some rear eight-wheeled trucks? Moreover, Li Jiaming does not want to seek benefits for people from other counties, and only thinks about using neighboring counties as raw material suppliers.
"Jiaming, the county is about to embark on a big project, although the county magistrate Ding agreed, the factory can continue to be affiliated with the 'Huaju' wood industry, but the forestry fees will definitely be strictly levied. County Magistrate Ding looks smiling, but in fact he is also a person with a bad heart, he used to be the director of the office when he was repairing the reservoir, do you know how many people he took off his hats?"
If we do not do some tricks in fees and taxes to open a bamboo and wood processing factory, how can we make any money? It is understandable that businessmen pursue profits, but they will reduce taxes and fees by more than 1 million a year and create 200 or 300 jobs.
In his previous life, Li Jiaming was willing to spend half of his belongings to help the county build two tunnels, but now that the government is determined to repair them, he will help the field no matter what.
"Uncle Zhang, Uncle Lin, why don't you do this? I am repairing a small power station in Shangxiao and Liang Section, and the installed capacity is easy to be about 340k. Except for your own use, the rest will be given to you at the online price for two years. Of course, the premise is that your factory must be built in this county. When the resources of Chongxiang are not enough, you can build it in the county seat, and the road should be opened at that time, and the transportation cost can be greatly reduced. ”
Li Jiaming and the hydropower station they are building, Zhang Weimin and they all know that the total investment is nearly 4 million, and at least 2 to 3 million kilowatt-hours of electricity can be generated a year. If they sell it to their own factories at the on-grid price of one dime and two kilowatt-hours, they can save five cents and three kilowatt-hours of electricity per kilowatt-hour, and how much money can they save in a year? Not to mention the electricity price of one dime and two kilowatt-hours, even if the industrial electricity consumption is six cents and five cents per kilowatt-hour, their factories will still use the electricity of those two power stations. The scorn pieces in the factory are going to be sold to 'Huaju Wood', and You Xuequan is working as a secretary in Gaoqiao, so they are full of food and support to use the electricity from the power supply station?
This is not a small amount of money, even Zhang Weimin looked at Li Jiaming as a nephew, and looked at him suspiciously, as did Lin Quanbao and Zeng Ningsheng, who were eating New Year's dinner together.
Favor is favor, business belongs to business.
It can save more than one million electricity bills a year, and if Li Jiaming can be the master, then the new factory will not be built in other counties. What's more, this kid never does a loss-making business, except that the factory must not be built in other counties, there must be something behind it, but he can't see it.
These businessmen, there are only interests in their eyes, Li Jiaming sighed secretly and joked: "Don't worry, there is nothing else." The county dared to make such a big determination, I just wanted to help. I'm a scholar, why do I need so much money?"
The three exchanged glances, and Zhang Weimin, who was in the lead, said happily: "Jiaming, as long as Chuanlin agrees, then our new factory will still be in Gaoqiao." ”
If this matter is up to my father to open his mouth, I'm afraid you don't want to put it in Gaoqiao, and the downstream manufacturers are in the upstream manufacturers, where do you have the right to speak?
"It's okay, I don't care about my business at all, and even being a chairman is in name. ”
"So that's it?"
"Okay!"
The profit of more than one million a year is gone, even the eldest sister who helps the little aunt stir-fry the vegetables thinks that her younger brother is too generous, let alone Zhang Xiangfeng, the housekeeper.
After everyone finished eating, Zhang Weimin and the others said goodbye and went home, and the three of them got together to drink tea, smoke, and chat, wondering why Li Jiaming was so generous? That's more than 1 million a year, and more than 2 million in two years, what are people trying to do?
Could it be that he just wants to contribute to that tunnel, as he said?
Spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!
Zhang Shaolong, who is not tall, was dissatisfied with his father, Lin Quanbao, and Zeng Ningsheng: "Yes, you are too much. Brother Jiaming is so generous, you three adults are embarrassed to touch others?"
This child is really a child, Zhang Weimin, who was full of red drink, smiled bitterly, rubbed his son's head and melon seeds, shook his head and said: "Long Yan, this is business, everyone needs to think that it can be done, and it can be done." ”
"Isn't this a loss? Don't you think I don't know, if Uncle Lin opens his mouth, you still dare not use his electricity?"
The power supply bureau is going to be changed to a strip pipe, and the local government doesn't care about this, can they still go to the power station or factory to impose a fine? Zeng Ningsheng, who has learned Li Jiaming's great skills, does not think that everyone is cheap, and Li Jiaming has a big profit.
"Long Yan, you only see things on the surface, not the depths. Since Jiaming is willing to let us get this cheap, then there must be his benefits, but we don't see it. That's more than a million dollars a year, not more than a hundred dollars!"
As soon as Zeng Ningsheng finished speaking, he immediately thought of something, and secretly praised people's brains for being good.
A businessman with rich social experience can understand what Li Jiaming is thinking, but the eldest sister in the house can't see it.
"Mingya, what is your idea? That's not a few dozen yuan!"
Li Jiaming suddenly slapped his head, he didn't make up his mind just now, but in fact he made up his mind, but he just hit it by mistake.
