Back to 2003

Two brothers, Tang Wenyuan and Tang Xueming, were making a stove in the courtyard. They saw a black car approaching from a distance, and they were suddenly filled with curiosity.

"Whose guest drove to our place?"

"I guess he went to Yijiashan, or he went to the coal factory to discuss business and took the wrong route."

The two brothers muttered and kept looking at each other.

The car didn't stop, it rushed in all the way and stopped in front of the two of them.

"It's Tsinghua University, this brat!"

Seeing Tang Qinghua get out of the car, Tang Xueming immediately smiled: "Qinghua, where did you get a new car?"

"Second uncle, this is the company's car!"

Tang Qinghua smiled and stretched.

"Why did the company car come back?"

Tang Wenyuan stepped forward and looked at the Audi carefully: "The paint on this car is really bright, with four circles, it shouldn't be cheap!"

“It’s beautiful and not expensive!”

Tang Qinghua said while moving things out.

First he went to Zhonghai and then back to Xidu. In both places, he bought a lot of specialty snacks and brought them back to his family.

"Why didn't your second sister come back?"

Seeing Tang Qinghua, the second uncle was a little anxious: "Didn't she say that her company has moved to Xidu, very close to you? If I had known you would drive back, I should have asked her to come back with you... It's not convenient for her to be alone. !”

"I asked her, she hasn't had a holiday yet!"

Tang Qinghua quickly explained to avoid being complained: "She is now the director of the customer service department, a high-level manager of the company, and earns tens of thousands per month in bonuses. She must be a little busier than ordinary people... She should not come back until after the new year!"

"Come back after the New Year?"

Although Tang Xueming was immediately anxious when he heard that his monthly income was tens of thousands, "What should I do? Her fifth aunt has made an appointment to give her a blind date at the end of the year!"

"Blind date?"

Tang Qinghua's eyes sparkled when he heard this: "What are the other party's conditions? With the second sister's current conditions, she will not like anything less than that."

Tang Xueming: "The man is from the city. He just returned from serving as a soldier. His parents are both workers..."

"That's okay!"

It's okay to say it,

Tang Qinghua directly denied the person in his heart!

If the officers who came out of the military academy are really good, most of the other conscripts could not study well before joining the army, and their conduct was not good. They were sent to serve as soldiers because their families had no choice but to rely on the melting pot of the army to hone their conduct!

There were a lot of ingredients in the trunk, so I called my sister and brother-in-law back as usual, and invited my grandma and second aunt down to eat at home tonight.

"Second uncle, is the factory on holiday?"

Tang Qinghua and his second uncle asked while washing vegetables.

My second uncle works as an accountant in a brick factory in the village.

"What kind of holiday is this? The brick factory collapsed!"

Tang Xueming sighed and said to him: "The factory director went to Macau, lost all his money gambling, and was jailed for bribery. He still owed workers more than [-] yuan in wages. The government wanted to cash out the brick factory, but the result No one has ever taken over.”

"Isn't the brick factory very profitable? How come no one comes to take over?"

Tang Qinghua vaguely remembered that the brick factory in the village had indeed been suspended for two years. Later, a boss from the next county came down with his wallet. Until he was reborn, the brick factory was doing booming business and the supply of bricks exceeded the demand.

"It's good to have good benefits, but if you want to take over the brick factory, you have to bear the boss's bad debts. No one is stupid, and no one is willing to do it!"

"how much is it?"

"It seems like more than 12."

"That's true."

In fact, everyone is like this. As long as it is not their own account, no one is willing to take over the account, let alone 12, even if it is [-].

But Tang Qinghua became interested. Before eating, he took his second uncle into the car and drove to the brick factory. He looked carefully inside and outside, up and down, and then fell into deep thought.

"Second uncle, you are an accountant. Do you know how much your old boss earned in a year?"

Tang Qinghua secretly asked about his second uncle.

"After one year, I can still earn 30 to [-] yuan."

The second uncle thought for a while and then answered.

"Only two or three hundred thousand?"

Tang Qinghua was immediately disappointed.

"Twenty-three million yuan is still too little for you? The brick factory is just that big. The monthly workers' salary is more than 30 yuan, and the land fee is 12 yuan per year. The two items are calculated to 3 yuan, plus industry, commerce, land and environmental protection, and various expenses , earning [-] to [-] yuan a month is pretty good." The second uncle explained to him carefully.

"That's true——"

Tang Qinghua nodded.

This is the gap between traditional industries and the Internet. The Internet has shortened the distance between users and merchants, directly connecting the two parties. There is no middleman to make the difference. As long as the Internet is well promoted, it can have a large number of users and the scale can grow rapidly!

However, the traditional physical industry is difficult to develop in scale due to many restrictions such as geography!

But the real industry is the foundation.

The web can never completely replace bricks and mortar.

……

There is a car, and the brother-in-law will be home soon.

The dinner was very sumptuous, including fish, ducks, hares, wild mushrooms, and all kinds of delicacies. The Eight Immortals square table was piled high. The whole family grilled on the charcoal stove under the table and ate the dinner happily.

The Eight Immortals Table can only seat eight people. No matter how awesome Tang Qinghua is outside, he can only eat on the corner at home!

"Dad, are you interested in the brick factory in the village?"

Tang Qinghua's mouth was full of oil after eating. While eating, he discussed with his father: "My second uncle and I went to take a look. I'm going to take it."

As soon as these words came out, the whole family looked over.

"You don't have to spend money if you have money, why would you bring a brick factory?"

Tang Wenyuan stared at him, obviously disagreeing: "The brick factory owner owes a lot of debt. You have to help him pay off the debt first. You also have to pay the village land fee every year, plus the wages of thirty or forty people. What do you think? How much can you earn? You might as well buy a car and let me drive it!"

"Don't even think about driving. Can't you just be a boss quietly?"

Tang Qinghua was speechless: "Although I have to help pay back 12 yuan, will people cash it out in normal times? My second uncle told me that the brick factory can earn more than 12 yuan a year. Apart from the [-] yuan, , you can also earn [-] to [-] yuan, you can guarantee that you can earn this much by driving a car for a year?"

"..."

Tang Wenyuan stopped talking.

A new truck costs RMB 30 to RMB [-]. After working hard for a year, I can only earn around RMB [-] at most. The only advantage is that the truck is still there and I can sell it as a second hand to make some money in the future.

"There is no problem with contracting, but what about sales? Except for people in our town who build houses, not many people come here to pull bricks." It was his brother-in-law Lu Lintao who spoke this time.

"If there's no business, let's just talk. Take the initiative to look for it. Are you afraid that you won't be able to sell something if you have something?"

Tang Qinghua is not worried: "The brick factory is only six kilometers away from the city, and the freight is much cheaper than other towns. As long as the price and quality of the bricks are right, there will be no worries about sales."

Others certainly don't know, but Tang Qinghua himself knows that since 2004, the government has built a new urban area to the east of the old city. The real estate industry has developed rapidly, and all building materials are in short supply.

"Do you have so much money? Contracting fees, outstanding debts, early wages...you need to invest at least 30 to [-], right?"

The old lady hesitated for a long time and asked again.

"Don't worry about money, I still have about [-] yuan."

Tang Qinghua patted his pocket.

The total income from Feiniao's dividends, Internet cafes, and AFK is around RMB 190 million. Singularity gave me RMB 100 million as a down payment, and I plan to keep RMB 50 for other things, so I only say I have around RMB 40!

When I heard that the money was in place,

My father still didn’t nod immediately.

The second uncle also remained silent.

Rural people are like this.

The two of them are well-informed in the village.

But still dare not make the decision easily!

Contracting a brick factory is not just a matter of words;

That requires real money and silver.

If the decision is not made well,

One loss can amount to hundreds of thousands!

"That's it. We'll talk tomorrow as there's still some time before the Chinese New Year."

Seeing that everyone was silent, Tang Qinghua made the final decision.

"Okay, let's try it!"

Tang Wenyuan gritted his teeth fiercely and risked his life: "I'm already in my fifties, and I'm still scared... Second brother, you are familiar with the brick factory and work with me. Wanyue, if you are free, come back and help me take care of it." "

"Okay, brother!" The second uncle nodded.

"Yeah, Dad!" My sister was delighted.

Tang Qinghua breathed a sigh of relief. His father was a man who couldn't take any time off, but he was nearly fifty years old. Tang Qinghua was reluctant to let him drive again, but couldn't stop him. After much deliberation, he tried to find a factory for him to work in. Tossing around might be a good idea!

The brick factory is a good opportunity!

……

Early the next morning, the whole family rushed to the town.

I went to the relevant department to inquire and was quickly received warmly.

The main reason was that the brick factory was in arrears with workers' wages, and the workers had brought the matter to the district petition office several times. The town leaders were constantly named and criticized by the district leaders. They were furious because of this. When they learned that someone was contracting the factory, they immediately asked a deputy mayor to receive them.

"Mayor Huang, it's you——"

The deputy mayor who came forward was surnamed Huang, who was in charge of land and agriculture. The forest farm Lu Lintao was in charge of was bordering the town's forest, and the two had had several contacts before.

"Director Lu, are you here to see the brick factory?"

Deputy Mayor Huang also laughed when he saw this.

"I have the heart, but I don't have the capital... It's my father-in-law who wants to take over the contract. Please give me some guidance from Mayor Huang!"

Lu Lintao said as he smoked.

"Your father-in-law, that's good, that's good -"

Deputy Mayor Huang nodded. As long as there are no laws or regulations, this matter will be easy to handle.

The Tang family is generally aware of the contract terms, but what Deputy Mayor Huang said is slightly different. The brick factory is not a town-run enterprise, but privately owned by the former boss. However, he himself is in jail and owes about 11 yuan in wages to the workers and one year to the village. The land fee was 12, and the government transferred the brick factory to offset the account in accordance with regulations, and the transfer fee was used to bear the arrears.

"According to the town's assessment, the brick factory is worth 32!"

After explaining the situation clearly, Mayor Huang quoted the price.

Several members of the Tang family suddenly frowned. They originally thought it was only 11, but suddenly it became 32, a difference of more than 20.

Including various initial investments, the land fee is already 12, and the total is estimated to be 50 million. This is the real reason why many people give up in the end even though they intend to take over.

"You mean, this is a purchase, not a contract?"

Tang Qinghua listened carefully and suddenly spoke.

"Isn't buying better than contracting? Although more funds are required in the first year, there are no contracting fees in the future! Look at several small coal mines in our town. The annual contracting fees alone are a large amount of money."

Since they are acquaintances, Mayor Huang is also very direct in his speech.
