Chapter 224

"What do you contract those mountains for?" Asked the village head. You have to ask clearly. Although it's good for someone to contract, you can't make people lose money, can you?

"Those stones on the mountain can be used." Guo Xiang said.

"What's the use?" Asked the village head.

"It can be used to make cement, just to build a house." Guo Xiang explained.

"Really?" The village head was surprised that he had lived here all his life without knowing.

However, people in the past didn't use cement to build houses. It's understandable that they didn't know.

"No one in our village has ever contracted those mountains, and I don't know how to contract them." The village head said, "wait a minute. I'll ask someone else."

The village head called other villages and found that none of the villages in the same situation had been contracted. Later, he asked a little farther away, mountains and forests with trees, seven yuan per mu.

"Seven dollars?" Guo Xiang and Shen Qingshan look at each other. It's not expensive.

"Why don't you go back first and I'll discuss it with other cadres in the village?" Said the village head.

These barren mountains are collective, so it's OK for the village committee to decide without going through the town.

However, because no one had contracted before, the village head has the final say.

"OK, let me know when you have news." Guo Xiang said.

Several people went home first and climbed the mountain all morning. They were already sweating. Everyone took turns to take a bath.

Wang Guiying prepares lunch.

Guo Xiang gave her more money. Shen Qingshan and his daughter should live here for a long time. They certainly can't eat so badly as before. They often have to cook meat and vegetables.

After dinner in the afternoon, the village head called someone to inform him that the village committee had discussed it and asked them to go there.

Guo Xiang went with Gu Zhendong.

The village head, the village Party Secretary and two village cadres are also there.

"We discussed it. The mountains and forests in other villages cost seven yuan per mu. All the rocks in our village are stones. It's a little cheaper than five yuan!" Said the village head.

"Five dollars?" Guo Xiang frowned. Although it was cheaper than other places, it was still relatively high.

"Village head, because there are trees in other places, trees can be cut and sold, and houses can be built. In addition, fruit trees can be planted on the mountain and used for breeding. We can't do anything on the barren mountain. We need five yuan. Is it too expensive?"

Several village cadres looked at each other, "didn't you say that stones can be used?"

"Although stones can be used, they are gone after mining. Unlike other mountains and forests, they can be reused. Those who grow fruit trees can make profits in ten or twenty years. You should have asked? They usually contract out for more than 15 years, right? Fifty years. But our stone mountain will be gone after two years of mining. We can't compare with others. " Guo Xiang said.

By the 1990s, almost all the mountains and forests across the country were contracted by private contractors. Later, deforestation caused serious soil and water loss. It was not until the state began to call for afforestation that later generations began to get better.

They exploit this barren mountain. First, they don't cut it down. Second, they have no impact on soil erosion and have no regeneration ability. They can't compare with their forests.

Of course, several village cadres know, but it's not easy to contract. How can we do it if it's not expensive?

"How much did you say?" Someone asked.

"Three fifty." Guo Xiang said.

"So cheap? Is half of the others? " Some people are dissatisfied.

"But our resources are not as good as others! If the village committee doesn't agree, I won't contract. I can contract in other villages. Anyway, such mountains are everywhere. " Guo Xiang said deliberately.

"Zhennan's daughter-in-law, something is easy to discuss." The village head hurriedly stopped Guo Xiang. She was right. Such mountains are everywhere. She can't contract in other villages. Isn't it cheaper in other villages?

"No more?" Someone said.

"To tell you the truth, we want to set up a factory here and recruit people in the village at that time. Many people can work in the factory and get paid. This is also our contribution to the village. If the village doesn't support it, I'll open the factory elsewhere." Guo Xiang said with a cold face.

"I think the price she said is OK..." several people discussed.

"Yes, if you don't contract it to her, no one will contract it at all. Those mountains will also be put, and they won't make money!"

"And they have to set up factories. Can our children have jobs in the future?"

"Yes, Zhennan and his daughter-in-law are capable people. I think so!"

"Three five is three five!" The village head made a decision, "there are 500 mu of barren mountains in the village. Have you all contracted?"

Guo Xiang shook his head. "Some mountains are too close to where he lives. Mining will cause damage to nearby residents. I'm afraid we can't. let's contract a farther place first."

Guo Xiang asked Gu Zhennan to call Shen Qingshan. Several people took out the map of the village and roughly determined that they could contract at least 400 mu of barren mountains.

Then Guo Xiang asked Gu Zhendong to sign a contract with the village head in his name, which can be used as the capital contribution of the cement plant in the future.

Contract 400 mu of barren mountain for five years, 3.5 yuan per mu, a total of 1400 yuan.

Guo Xiang immediately went back to get the money. Several cadres smiled when they saw the money. They hadn't seen so much money for a long time.

Their village is not only barren in the mountains, but also barren in the land. They can't produce anything at all. They can't even eat enough, let alone sell money. With this money, they can buy two big fat pigs for the new year, and each family can share a few kilograms of meat.

"Zhennan's daughter-in-law, do you really want to set up a factory? Can my gowardesh go to work in your factory? " Someone came round.

Guo Xiang smiled. "Then we will open a quarry first. We mainly need to work hard, but the salary is a little higher. When we set up a factory, we will have a relaxed life."

"It's all right to do manual work. Who of US farmers has no strength? We are not afraid of hardship. We can take money. "

"Yes, yes, so can my son."

"Well, don't worry, everyone. When we open the quarry and recruit people, we will post a notice. Everyone can come if necessary." Guo Xiang said.

After finishing the barren mountain, Guo Xiang urged Gu Zhendong to register the company, so that he could remit the money and buy the equipment, so that he could start work.

Guo Xiang borrowed a phone from the village committee, called Gu Zhennan and asked him about the truck.

Gu Zhennan thought, "Jiefang Truck is produced by spring FAW. I'll inquire about it and give you news in two days."

Shen Qingshan also began to call the blaster to ask him to come to work and buy some explosives for blasting.

Then contact the manufacturer of crusher and book two crushers.

Guo Xiang was busy contacting various factories to borrow money. Each factory borrowed another 20000 and the gas stove factory borrowed 50000, a total of 100000.

After a few days, Gu Zhendong registered the company.

After discussion, the company was named Xiangnan southeast Industrial Co., Ltd.

East and South are Gu Zhennan. The two brothers take one word each. Xiangnan inside coincides with the names of Guo Xiang and Gu Zhennan. It happens to be the provincial name, so they use it.

There is no direct use of cement plant because it may not only do cement, but also do various projects such as real estate in the future. It is more practical to take a group name.
