Chapter 236 Discussing Making Money
After the babies were one month old, Huo Beiting and Ruan Xuanxiang insisted that Ruan Qingge observe a double confinement period.
There was no way. Except that Ruan Qingge could move in a wider range, his daily routine remained the same as before.
Everyone in the family kept an eye on Ruan Qingge, not letting her strain her eyes too much, not letting her do heavy work, and not letting her pull weeds in the vegetable garden. Just two words: rest.
On the third day, Nguyen Fengshou and Nguyen Zhengli came again with gifts, and Nguyen Qingge made tea and waited for them.
"Are the kids asleep?" Ruan Fengshou asked with concern. He didn't want to ask too many other questions because he was a man after all.
Ruan Qingge poured the tea and pushed it over: "Go to sleep, uncle, you guys went around the capital yesterday, how did you feel?"
Ruan Fengshou recounted what he had seen and heard yesterday, and his mouth became dry as he spoke. This place is indeed worthy of being the capital, and is a thousand times better than their place.
Moreover, the capital is undergoing construction, with many projects. It was the first time that Nguyen Phong Thou had seen those high-rise buildings, as well as elevators, and transportation was also convenient.
Ruan Qingge: "The capital has developed rapidly in recent years. The information gap in our area is several years behind here, and there is also a gap with the south."
Ruan Fengshou quite agrees with this point: "It seems that we need to send people out every year to study and see the world. Otherwise, we will only be able to catch the tail wind when the wind blows from other places, and we will not be able to keep up with the development of the times."
If you can't keep up, you will fall behind and miss the opportunity to make money. You have to move forward.
"How is the cigarette factory?" In the past few years, Ruan Qingge would not take the initiative to ask about the cigarette factory as long as Ruan Fengshou and others didn't say anything, and she also took the initiative to reduce the dividends.
But the money received every year is also quite considerable.
The tobacco factory made huge profits, and Ruan Fengshou and others who invested in the tobacco factory made a lot of money!
Ruan Fengshou is a little worried: "In the past two years, people's enthusiasm for growing tobacco has not been high. Although the price is rising, they think it is too hard and it is better to go out to work. There are not enough people."
People who came back from the south described that place as a paradise on earth, where you could pick up money on the road, so some young people in the village wanted to go and see it.
Only people in their forties and fifties stay at home, and they have to cultivate the paddy fields and grow tobacco, so the labor force cannot keep up.
At present, the tobacco leaves grown by farmers can still be supplied to tobacco factories, but if this continues, the supply from farmers will drop sharply after all the young people go out.
Ruan Qingge thought for a while and suggested a direction: "If the factory rents these lands and hires people to grow tobacco and pays wages, have you calculated the cost?"
Land rent is an expense, but it can ensure the needs of the factory as well as guarantee quality and harvest.
Tobacco needs to be planted in different places every year and crop rotation is required. The land lease contract can be signed for one year or longer. During crop rotation, the land can be used to plant other one- or two-year crops.
Tongxi is particularly suitable for growing tobacco and various fruits. It has good geographical conditions and a nice climate. We are about to enter the 1990s, and we can start planning many things.
Ruan Fengshou and Ruan Zhengli thought about it for several minutes and shook their heads: "We haven't thought about this."
Ruan Qingge took out a pen and paper and said, "Uncle, you can calculate the land cost, labor cost, and fertilizer cost, and the approximate amount needed, as well as the mass production per acre, and you will have a rough idea in your mind."
After getting paper and pen, Ruan Fengshou and Ruan Zhengli carefully calculated.
Ruan Qingge also did some calculations. Half an hour later, the three of them compared their results and found that they were almost the same.
Ruan Fengshou was shocked: "If that's the case, it seems more cost-effective for our factory to rent the land and then hire people to grow crops, and it's more controllable."
They both looked at Ruan Qingge: "How could this happen?"
The purchase price they give to farmers is indeed quite high, but everyone has the impression that this is more cost-effective because the factory does not need to pay.
However, getting high-quality tobacco leaves depends on luck, as not all farmers will grow and dry tobacco according to their methods.
Ruan Qingge: "That's the fact. Uncle, go back and have a good discussion with the shareholders of the factory. If you are worried, ask the county for their opinion."
In fact, Nguyen Phongshou and Nguyen Zhengli have already believed that this path is the best way out for their tobacco factory at present, but who will manage it?
They are so short of talent.
In recent years, many young people have left the country. They want to see the outside world, and some go abroad to study, but they have jobs assigned to them and will not come back to remote places like Tongxi Village.
Ruan Fengshou: "Sure, pigeon, is there any way to get those young people who went out to come back?"
Ruan Qingge thought for a moment and said, "It seems that only when our local economy develops can we retain them. Also, wages are low here, and they can earn more in factories in the south."
But it is also hard work. In fact, it is not as comfortable as home. But young people like to explore.
Ruan Fengshou: "Let's discuss this matter later."
Ruan Qingge had told them before that they should adjust salaries appropriately every year and not pocket all the money earned, as that would not keep them.
They also make adjustments every year, but the adjustments are not significant.
Yesterday, Nguyen Phong Tho and Nguyen Zheng Li took a tour around the capital and asked many people about their salaries. They found that they were indeed higher than where they lived.
But this is the capital. How can we survive if the wages are not high?
Expenses in the capital far exceed those in their hometowns.
Ruan Qingge and Ruan Fengshou chatted until the evening, all about factory matters. Ruan Qingge also gave them several directions, such as what fruits could be planted on the idle land and some other directions.
In addition, the focus is on the development of the caves in their village.
Ruan Qingge had asked Ruan Fengshou to find someone who was good at taking photos to go into the cave and take photos. She put the photos on the computer and made a design drawing.
I will print it out and show it to Ruan Fengshou and the others, "Pigeon, this, this is the cave in the mountain behind us? It's so beautiful, isn't it?"
"Yes, this is the effect after the lighting is installed. I just added it later. It should be more beautiful than this after it is completed."
Ruan Fengshou and others were very excited. They felt that there was another project that could be done and that would provide employment for the village. The young people who remained in the village would probably not want to leave, right?
"Can we take this picture back with us?" Ruan Fengshou asked.
Ruan Qingge nodded: "I'll take all these materials back with you. You had a meeting with the village about the previous project. What did the village say?"
Ruan Fengshou: "This cave was developed in the name of the village. The village invested money. I asked the association to calculate that it was less than half, only 36 percent."
The largest investment was made by Zhan Hongxia's family, accounting for 13%.
Otherwise, it would not be this number.
There are only about a hundred households in Tongxi Village, and only a few of them are willing to spend money.
Originally, Nguyen Phongshou thought of investing in the name of a cigarette factory, but Nguyen Thanh Ge felt that there would be more disputes later, so he decided to do it in the name of the village.
Tongxi Village has registered a tourism development company, and in the future there will be homestays. There are still many projects that can be done in their village, so Ruan Fengshou listened to Ruan Qingge's advice.
Ruan Qingge: "How about this, I will ask my sister-in-law to add some more money, and then ask Chunxiang to add some more. If the rest is not enough, the clothing factory will also inject capital. You must go back and explain it clearly to the village. The agreement and contract must be reviewed by a professional lawyer. When the meeting is held, make sure that all families are present to avoid trouble in the future and it will be difficult to explain."
