Chapter 224: Bargaining
"What are you contracting those mountains for?" The village chief asked. You have to ask clearly, although it is a good thing that someone is contracting, but it can't make people lose money, right?
"Those rocks on the mountain can be used." Guo Xiang said.
"What's the use?" The village chief asked.
"It can be used to make cement, that is, to build houses." Guo Xiang explained.
"Really?" The village chief was surprised, he had lived here all his life and did not know.
However, in the past, people used no cement to build houses, and it is understandable that they don't know.
"No one in our village has ever contracted those mountains, and we don't know how." The village chief said, "Wait a minute, I'll ask someone." ”
The village chief called other villages, but no one in the same situation as them had contracted it, and later asked a little farther away, a mountain forest with trees, seven yuan per mu.
"Seven?" Guo Xiang and Shen Qingshan glanced at each other, it was not expensive.
"Why don't you go back first, and I'll discuss it with the other cadres in the village?" The village chief said.
These barren mountains are collective, so you don't have to go through the town, the village committee can decide.
However, because no one has contracted before, it is not easy for the village chief to have the final say alone.
"Okay, you can let me know when there's news." Guo Xiang said.
A few people went home first, climbed the mountain all morning, and were already sweating, and everyone took turns to take a bath.
Wang Guiying prepares lunch.
Guo Xiang took some more money for her, Shen Qingshan's father and daughter should live here for a long time, and they definitely can't eat as bad as before, and they often have to cook some meat and vegetables.
After eating, in the afternoon, the village chief called someone to inform them, saying that the village committee had discussed it and asked them to come over.
Guo Xiang and Gu Zhendong went over together.
The village chief, the village party secretary, and two village cadres were also there.
"We discussed, the mountains and forests in other villages cost seven yuan a mu, and the ones in our village are all stones, so it's cheaper for five yuan!" The village chief said.
"Five?" Guo Xiang frowned, although it was cheaper than other places, it was still relatively high.
"Village chief, in other places, because there are forests, trees can be cut down to sell, and houses can also be built, in addition, fruit trees can be planted on the mountain and can be used for breeding, we can't do anything in this barren mountain and need five yuan, isn't it too expensive?"
Several village cadres glanced at each other, "Didn't you say that stones can be used?" ”
"Although the stone can be used, it is no longer used after harvesting, and it can not be reused like other mountain forests. Those who plant fruit trees can make a profit in ten or twenty years, you should have asked, right? They are usually contracted out for more than 15 years, right? Fifty years old. But our stone mountain, after two years of mining, there will be no more, and we can't compare with others. Guo Xiang said.
At this time, by the 90s, almost all the mountain forests in the country were privately contracted, and then indiscriminately cut down, resulting in very serious soil erosion, until the country began to call for afforestation, and later generations slowly improved.
They exploited this barren mountain, did not cut it down, had no effect on soil erosion, and had no ability to regenerate, which was not comparable to their forests.
Of course, several village cadres know about it, but it's not easy to get a contractor, how can it be less expensive?
"And how much do you say?" Someone asked.
"Three pieces of five." Guo Xiang said.
"So cheap? Half of everyone else's? "Someone is dissatisfied.
"But our resources are not as good as others! If the village committee doesn't agree, I won't contract, I can go to other villages to contract, anyway, such mountains are everywhere. Guo Xiang said deliberately.
"Zhennan's daughter-in-law, there is something to discuss." The village chief hurriedly stopped Guo Xiang, she was right, this kind of mountain is everywhere, she can go to other villages to contract if she doesn't contract, isn't that cheaper than other villages?
"Do you want to add any more points?" Someone said.
"Don't hide it from everyone, we want to set up a factory here, and then we will recruit people in the village, many people can enter the factory to do things, and get paid, which is also our contribution to the village, if the village does not support it, then I will open the factory to other places." Guo Xiang said with a cold face.
"I think the price she said is okay......" several people discussed.
"Yes, if you don't contract to her, no one will contract at all, and those mountains will be put away, and they won't make money!"
"And they still have to set up a factory, will our children be able to have jobs in the future?"
"Yes, Zhennan and his daughter-in-law are both capable people, I think it's okay!"
"Three pieces of five is three pieces of five!" The village chief clapped, "There are 500 acres of barren mountains in the village, have you contracted them all?" ”
Guo Xiang shook his head, "Some mountains are too close to where we live, and when we mine, it will cause damage to nearby residents, I'm afraid it won't work, let's contract a farther place first." ”
Guo Xiang asked Gu Zhennan to call Shen Qingshan over, and several people took out the map of the village and looked at it, and roughly determined that they could contract at least 400 acres of barren mountains.
Then Guo Xiang asked Gu Zhendong to sign a contract with the village chief in his name, and let him use it as the capital of the cement factory in the future.
Contracted 400 acres of barren mountains for five years, 3 yuan 5 per mu, a total of 1,400 yuan.
Guo Xiang immediately went back and took the money, and several cadres had smiles on their faces when they saw the money, they hadn't seen so much money for a long time.
Their village is not only barren on the mountains, but also barren on the land, so they can't produce anything at all, and they can't even eat enough, let alone sell for money.
"Daughter-in-law Zhennan, do you really want to set up a factory? Can my dog go to work in your factory? "Someone came around.
Guo Xiang smiled, "At that time, we will mine the quarry first, mainly with great strength, all of which are hard work, but the salary is also a little higher, and when we set up a factory in the future, we will have an easy job." ”
"It's okay to do manual work, who of us croppers doesn't have the strength? We are not afraid of hardship, as long as we have money. ”
"Yes, yes, my son can do it too."
"Okay, don't worry, everyone, when we open the quarry, we will post a notice when we recruit people, and everyone can come over if they need it then." Guo Xiang said.
After getting rid of the barren mountain, Guo Xiang urged Gu Zhendong to register the company, so that he could remit the money, buy the equipment, and start work.
Guo Xiang borrowed a phone from the village committee to call Gu Zhennan and asked him about the truck.
Gu Zhennan thought for a while, "The liberation truck is produced by FAW in the spring market, I'll inquire and give you news in two days." ”
Shen Qingshan also began to call the demoman and asked him to come to work and buy some explosives for blasting by the way.
Then contact the manufacturer of the shredder and book two shredders.
Guo Xiang was busy contacting various factories to borrow money, and each factory borrowed another 20,000 yuan, and the gas stove factory borrowed 50,000 yuan, a total of 110,000 yuan.
A few days later, Gu Zhendong registered the company.
After discussion between the two, the company was named Shonan Southeast Industrial Co., Ltd.
East and South were originally Gu Zhennan's two brothers each took one word, and the Xiangnan in it alluded to the names of Guo Xiang and Gu Zhennan, and it happened to be the name of the province, so it was used.
The reason why the cement plant is not used directly is that it may not only do cement but also real estate and other projects in the future, and it is more practical to take a group name.
