Chapter 314 Discussion on Building a Factory
On the way down the mountain, Gu Mingyue was still muttering to herself, "There are four immoral things you must not do in life, otherwise the spit alone will drown you. Do you know what they are?"
Liu Gaiwa shook his head honestly.
"First, dig up the graves of ex-wifes. Second, kick down widows' doors. Third, steal the milk from mothers who have just given birth. Oh, let me emphasize that this is not a literal meaning. This mainly refers to the period when mothers are at their weakest. Bullying them during this period is absolutely the most hurtful and hateful thing, and it will make people remember the hatred for a lifetime. And the last one is to beat the blind and scold the dumb."
Having said that, Gu Mingyue glanced at him, the meaning was self-evident.
Liu Gaiwa bowed his head and apologized, "Secretary, I was wrong. I was just joking with Damao, do you believe me?"
"Guess!" Gu Mingyue couldn't help rolling her eyes at him and said in disbelief, "You're just about to force Damao to speak human language. Tell me, are you kidding?"
Liu Gaiwa couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth when he thought of Damao's anxious whining and complaining.
Gu Mingyue naturally noticed it, and said helplessly, "If someone bullies you, you should retaliate. Not only will I not interfere, I may even give you advice. But Damao is very obedient. Look at how it bullied him, but he didn't get angry with you. But you even learned to blackmail others, no, blackmail mountain cats. You are really getting more and more promising. I warn you again, if I find you teasing him next time, don't even think about letting me take you out to play."
"I won't dare anymore." Liu Gaiwa quickly assured after hearing this.
Gu Mingyue saw his pitiful look and knew that he was just pretending to be pitiful, so she didn't care about it anymore.
Well, he is so handsome, it doesn't matter if he has a bad temper...
Damao:.........In the end, I have to bear all the consequences!
That day, Gu Mingwei called everyone to a meeting, and Gu Mingyue agreed with him that she would play the villain.
Nowadays, when the weather gets cold, a shed is built in front of the threshing ground. Otherwise, if you stand outside for less than half an hour, your soles will be frozen.
Gu Mingyue did not talk about the policy directly. That was what she talked about with her family members and it could not be disclosed to the outside world and could not be explained clearly.
So she changed her words, "Quiet, quiet... Today we gathered everyone here mainly to discuss the establishment of a factory. If we keep the workshop form, the commune will not interfere. But if we establish a factory, many aspects will be involved. The first is the qualification issue, and the tax payment is also different from the workshop. There is also personnel arrangement, which is much more complicated. The commune means that the government will provide funding and unified management, and the result of this is that we will no longer be the masters in the future."
When everyone heard this, they expressed their opposition:
"How can that be possible? Isn't this just like picking fruit from a tree? It finally blooms, but when it's time to bear fruit, it's picked by someone else."
"Yeah, it's so unfair..."
Someone asked, "Secretary, if the workshop does not belong to our village, will there still be year-end dividends?"
Gu Mingyue shook her head and said, "No. The previous rewards were benefits given to everyone by the village committee. After that, the factory was no longer based in Gujia Village, so all the benefits were naturally cancelled."
After hearing this, everyone found it even harder to accept, and immediately said, "Secretary, can't we just keep the workshop open?"
"No." Gu Mingyue explained, "When we went to the trade fair, we used the name of factory. Otherwise, do you think any workshop can cooperate with well-known foreign companies? It's the same as the saying that clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. Foreigners also value appearance and pomp. For example, if you are asked where you get the goods from, "I get my goods from a certain factory and I get my goods from a certain village workshop," you can listen to it yourself. Do you feel that the former is more reliable? As for which one to choose, I don't need to say more! Besides, society is changing, the market is progressing, and the update and replacement are much faster. Ask the sales team to see if the recent orders are becoming more and more difficult to push?"
Gu Laoliu echoed, "What the Party Secretary said is right. Recently, many department stores have not received as many orders as before. I specifically asked someone and it seems that many factories are copying our styles at lower prices. The manager of Mingzhu Department Store has been cooperating with our village since the beginning and has a good relationship with us. According to him, if it weren't for the friendship, they would still prefer to choose a large factory. Workshop products don't sound high-end, especially for people in big cities who pay more attention to reputation."
The villagers, who had been content with the status quo, began to become nervous.
Noticing that everyone was in a bad mood, Gu Mingyue took the opportunity to say, "But there is still room for improvement..."
Everyone instantly perked up, "Secretary, do you have any ideas?"
"I can't really say there is a solution, but I do have a suggestion, which is to raise funds." Seeing that everyone didn't understand, Gu Mingyue continued, "Open a village-run enterprise in the name of the collective, with the villagers providing the funds, from the masses and returned to the masses. In this way, even if we build a factory, we will still be in charge, and we will still have dividends and bonuses in the future. The difference is that before, everyone shared equally. In the future, it will be distributed according to how much money each person invests. In short, the more you invest, the more you get, and the less you invest, the less you get. You can contribute without paying money, and you will be paid monthly."
Seeing that someone was obviously interested, she added, "I want to make it clear that investing this money does not mean it is foolproof. Nothing is absolute. If our orders are not popular abroad, it means that we will only have domestic orders in the future. As more people copy our products, sales will decrease, and this money may be lost. In a word, you need to be cautious when investing! If you make money, everyone will be happy. If you lose money, you will have to bear the loss yourself."
Someone tried to test him, "Secretary, we were able to get so much when we were building a workshop, so how could it be impossible to build a factory?"
Gu Mingyue explained to them, "First, there is more than one workshop in our village. The money you share includes money from the soy products department and a lot from the people working in the fields. Secondly, after the factory is built, the machinery and equipment alone will be a considerable expense. After all, it is exported, so there are very strict requirements in terms of packaging and quality. Everyone should be aware of this."
The villagers below gradually became silent.
After talking about the bad aspects, Gu Mingyue began to paint a rosy picture. "Of course, what I have said above are all the aspects we need to pay. Let me tell you what you can get. Let's not talk about anything else. Just talking about the orders we received this time, we will still distribute them equally according to the previous dividend distribution method. I believe this year will be another happy year. Moreover, as long as this order goes well, you will always get the same amount in the future, no, maybe more. So, assuming you invest 100 yuan, you can earn it back within three months instead of half a year. To put it bluntly, even if the factory can't receive domestic orders, only this export transaction can make everyone earn back their principal and interest. Do you see hope now?"
