Rebirth of a Little Cannon Fodder

Chapter 113 Meeting to discuss

After the factory construction was agreed upon, Ji Shaowen took the opportunity to bring up the issue of breeding manpower.

"Uncle, we've chosen a location for the farm. It's perfect for building it right next to the cowshed. It's far away from the living area to prevent stress on the hens, and we can also use the cowshed's location to treat the farm's wastewater."

When Zhang Jianguo heard Ji Shaowen suggest building the chicken farm in the cowshed, he glanced at him. "It doesn't matter where it's built. It won't take up the villagers' houses. But if it's built in that location, it'll be hard to arrange for the farm staff. After all, no one wants to interact with the people there these days. I can't just build a new cowshed to accommodate them."

Ji Shaowen wasn't surprised by Zhang Jianguo's words. After all, that was the prevailing environment. No matter what this person did before being demoted, as long as he was demoted, he was considered a bad element. It was normal for ordinary people to be reluctant to interact with such people.

"Uncle, I've thought about this before. I thought the people in the cattle shed could be used directly for the farm. These people were sent down here for reform, and it's just right to use them in the farm. Uncle, I know you're a smart person, and you should be able to guess my purpose for doing this."

"Uncle, I'll just tell you the truth. Among the people sent down this time, there is an old revolutionary. I came here just for him. Even the breeding farm was built in the cowshed for this reason. Uncle, this matter..." After thinking it over, Ji Shaowen decided that he should inform Zhang Jianguo about this matter. He knew Zhang Jianguo's character well and believed that even if Zhang Jianguo did not support him, he would not stab him in the back.

"Okay, kid Ji, don't you know what kind of person your uncle is? Other uncles may not be able to help, but they can still take care of this person privately. What's more, there is nothing unusual in your arrangement. These people will go to the farm to help without being given work points, just some food will be distributed when the time comes. The people in the team will definitely not have any objections." The people Zhang Jianguo admired most in his life were the old revolutionaries. It was helpless to see them fall to this point because of some fictitious things. However, these things were not something he, a team leader, could control.

Now that these young people can achieve this, shouldn’t he, an old man, be able to lend a hand?

Before they came, several people had already thought about how to persuade the captain with emotional and logical appeals. Unexpectedly, Zhang Jianguo interrupted Ji Shaowen before he finished speaking, and even said that he would help. To be honest, this was really a pleasant surprise.

"Uncle, I thank you on their behalf." Ji Shaowen knew that if this matter was not discovered by others, everything would be fine. However, once it was discovered by someone with ulterior motives and spread out, it would definitely have a significant impact on the captain.

"Alright, you guys don't have to be like this. Besides, it's my responsibility as the team leader to arrange for these people to work. We're not just keeping them here, we're also arranging labor reform for them. After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, I'll be anxious for the villagers to hold a meeting to discuss building a breeding farm. It's okay to discuss it, but the team may not have enough money in its account for the breeding farm, which will definitely cause a lot of trouble."

"Captain, we have also thought about this matter. I thought that we could organize a fundraising campaign when the time comes. This would be equivalent to the villagers becoming shareholders. When we make money later, we can deduct the team's dividends and then distribute the money to the villagers in proportion. The team's dividends are distributed to all villagers, and the remaining profits are distributed in proportion to the villagers who have pledged funds." Qiao Chuchu had already thought about Zhang Jianguo's concerns. If the villagers did not pledge much at that time, she would help Lin Xue and say that they would run the farm no matter what. When the farm became profitable, they would sell their shares to the team.

"Okay, okay, Qiao Zhiqing's idea is good. As for the ratio, I will discuss it with the cadres in the brigade in the next two days and announce it at the meeting on the sixth day of the New Year." Zhang Jianguo made the final decision and would wait for the sixth day of the New Year to see the opinions of the villagers and then proceed with the matter.

Then a few people stayed at the captain's house for a while before leaving.

"Why don't you stay a little longer? Why don't you eat here? Auntie will make you something delicious." Aunt Cuihua asked a few people to stay here to eat.

But these four people did not stay, they said goodbye and went home.

After this trip, the few of them didn't get together for dinner, but instead went home with their partners. The two of them only had a few days left of their military leave, and now they both wanted to spend time with their partners.

Qiao Chuchu and Lin Xue also knew what the other two people were thinking, so they didn't mention the suggestion of having dinner together.

After a few people left, Zhang Jianguo got up and went to the brigade headquarters, and asked his son to call some cadres of the brigade to the brigade headquarters.

Fortunately, Zhang Hua was young and quick-paced, so Zhang Jianguo didn't have to wait long at the brigade headquarters before everyone arrived.

"I called you here today to discuss something. You all know that our brigade has always had a low income. Unlike the Yangjia Brigade, we don't have a brick kiln to make money. So I was thinking that we should consider developing a side job to earn more money and make our lives a little better."

"Jianguo, what you said is quite good, but it's not something you can just talk about and decide what to do and how to do it."

"Yes, the reason why the Jianguo Yangjia Brigade can make bricks is because they already had a brick kiln. Now they just renovated the kiln and put it into use again."

The two people who were speaking were the old secretary and the accountant. It was not that they were trying to make things difficult, but that was the actual situation in their brigade.

Zhang Jianguo was prepared for their questions. To be honest, if Qiao Chuchu and the others had not sorted out many things for him, he would not have wanted to build a farm, so he could understand other people's questions.

"I've considered what you're talking about. Our brigade is located near mountains and rivers, so we'll build a farm when the time comes. I know what you're afraid of, but if we keep being afraid, when will we ever make any money?"

"Jianguo, what you said is indeed correct, but this is a big deal. First of all, even if we are in the province, we don't have enough money in our account. Also, building a factory is not something you can just do casually. Besides the money, we also need the consent of the commune. There is also the issue of subsequent sales. These all need to be considered."

"Old Secretary, I've already thought about everything you're thinking about. The idea of ​​building a chicken farm wasn't something I just casually suggested. Zhiqing Qiao and Zhiqing Lin have already written a plan, and Ji will take care of the construction paperwork for us. Zhiqing Lin has also found a sales channel. You see, this is like feeding us food. Aren't we going to eat it?"
