Chapter 556 Do you want to invest money?
Many villagers went to work during the day, and when they returned home, almost all of them knew that Zhou's father's family had bought a color TV, a refrigerator and a washing machine.
Everyone wanted to see what a color TV looked like, so after a quick dinner, they went to Zhou's father's house to watch.
Zhou's mother had a feeling that there would be a lot of people watching TV tonight, so she asked Zhou's father to move the color TV to the yard and prepare some benches.
Before seven o'clock, the door of Zhou's father's house was crowded with people who wanted to watch TV.
The evening programs are indeed rich, with "The Bund", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Chen Zhen" all broadcast on different channels.
These three TV series were introduced to the mainland in 85. Many people in the village who have TVs have already watched them, but tonight they watched these programs on color TV and they were all very excited.
After everyone discussed it, they decided to watch "The Bund" first, and when an episode ended or a commercial started, they would jump to the channel showing "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
Zhou Rong had already taught his father how to use the color TV. In order to show his status as the "head of the family", he held the remote control tightly.
He didn't care what others wanted to watch, he only asked what Zhou's mother wanted to watch.
Zhou's mother didn't want to spoil the fun of her fellow villagers, so she told them to watch "The Bund" first and then "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Zhou's father immediately changed the channels as instructed.
It was not until half past nine that the show ended and everyone left. They all exclaimed that the color TV was beautiful and that Mr. and Mother Zhou were blessed.
The house finally returned to peace, and Zhou Rong and the others could have a good rest...
The next morning, just after Zhou's father and his family finished breakfast, a group of women came to Zhou's mother and asked if they could watch color TV. They were told that at night, the good seats were reserved for young people and they could not grab them. They could not even see the people standing at the back, so they could only enjoy their fascination during the day.
The people who came were all those who often chatted with Zhou's mother, so she naturally had to meet this small request. Not only did she turn on the TV for everyone, she also took out the peanuts and melon seeds from her home to treat everyone.
Everyone felt embarrassed to take advantage of her, so they asked Zhou's mother if there was any work to do around the house, and they helped while watching TV.
Mother Zhou: "There's nothing to do at home today, so we should eat and drink. When I buy the vegetables tomorrow morning, you can help me. Cut what needs to be cut in advance and stew what needs to be stewed.
Our children have been living in the city, and it is a bit unreliable to rely on them to work. I still believe in your craftsmanship."
A woman said, "Don't worry, Aunt Ying, we are the best at helping in the kitchen. We guarantee that your banquet will be a success!"
Zhou Rong was tired of watching the TV dramas that were being broadcasted now in his previous life. Seeing that there was nothing to do at home, he went to the food factory for a visit and met Zhou Jiaxing on the way.
"Sister Darong, are you going out to do something?"
Zhou Rong: "No, I'm going to the food factory. Is there something going on?"
Zhou Jiaxing: "I have something to talk to you about. Let's talk while we walk."
Zhou Rong: “Yeah.”
Zhou Jiaxing: "Sister Darong, I heard from Brother Jiafu that you founded a fund company in the south. You can invest everyone's spare money and distribute dividends according to the proportion after making money. Does your company still need funds now?"
Zhou Rong smiled and asked, "Do you want to invest money?"
Zhou Jiaxing: "Yes! I have some savings, and there is also some money in the factory's public account. I want to deposit them in your company and let the money make money."
Zhou Rong: "Investment is risky. There are gains and losses. If you lose your own savings, you will feel bad for a while, but there will be no bad impact. If you lose public funds, how can you explain to the villagers?"
Zhou Jiaxing: "Please rest assured, Sister Darong, I will not use the dividends of the villagers to invest unless they are willing.
20% of the factory's profits are kept every year to purchase office equipment, repair cars, refuel, etc. The villagers understand and support this, and over the years, there is a lot of spare money in the public account.
The roads leading from the food factory to the county are all gravel roads. After so many years of use, they have become bumpy and uneven. Most of the gravel on the road surface has been washed away by rain, revealing the mud, and the wheels of the car can easily get stuck in the mud after a heavy rain.
Several times, the trucks delivering vegetables broke down on the way, resulting in delayed delivery and complaints from various units.
The road is also narrow, and tractors and trucks cannot pass at the same time. Every time they encounter this, it takes half a day to reverse the car and adapt to the road.
I reported this to the township government, hoping that the county could allocate funds to build a road. The county responded by saying that they were facing financial difficulties and had no money to build a road for us. So we could only find a way ourselves. The factory would pay the majority of the money, and then we would ask the villagers to chip in some more to build the road.
Before I came to see you, I had already discussed it with several managers in the factory, and they all agreed to do this.
If Sister Darong has no objection, I will send the investment funds to you after I distribute the last batch of dividends in a few days."
Zhou Rong also didn't like the country roads, which could shake a person's bones apart. The money she earned in the south was not convenient for her to take out large sums.
After all, nowadays a person with an annual income of 10,000 yuan will be envied by people in the surrounding area and can even make headlines in newspapers. As a retired cadre, if she donated several million yuan at a time to build roads in the village, it would arouse the jealousy of some people even if she could prove that the money came from normal sources.
If they harm her secretly or find a reason to confiscate her assets, she and her family will be in big trouble.
Zhou Rong originally thought that in a few years when the policies would become more open and millionaires would no longer be a rarity in the country, he would return to Jiangcheng and open a clothing factory. He could donate money to the village in the name of the factory so that it would not attract attention.
Now that Zhou Jiaxing mentioned the road construction, she could only move the plan forward...
Zhou Rong: "If you have all agreed, you can deposit your money with me. I will sign an agreement with you, specifying the benefits and risks.
We can build roads near our homes and factories on our own, but building rural roads requires government approval, otherwise it is illegal. You must get the approval documents to avoid getting in trouble later.”
Zhou Jiaxing: "I understand. We will write an application in advance, or give the money directly to the county and let them arrange people to build the road."
Zhou Rong smiled and said, "Once the money reaches the county, the road probably won't be built, and if it is built, it will be perfunctory. I'll talk to your sister Sigui about this later, and try to get the provincial government to intervene, so the county won't dare to do anything."
Zhou Jiaxing: "Okay, thank you Sister Darong."
Zhou Rong: "The road from the factory to the county is more than 50 kilometers long. Even if the government approves the road construction, the money from the factory is not enough.
I know several bosses from Hong Kong. They agreed to invest in a clothing factory in Jiangcheng, put me in charge, and give me a certain amount of shares.
When the factory is built and operational, and I get my dividends, I will invest in building the road with you. Before that, let's get some gravel to fill in the potholes."
Zhou Jiaguang: "We have filled the road many times before. Some stones were washed away by rain, and some were secretly dug up by those who like to take advantage of others to build their own houses. This time, I plan to build a cement road to see how they can dig!"
Zhou Rong: “Yeah.”
