"I plan to buy two more tractors. Daqiang also wants to buy a tractor, and then I will buy a few harvesters from Kuitun. I will go to various villages to harvest wheat in the summer, and I can earn back the money from the tractors in one wheat season!"< br>
“Get so many tractors "Who is driving it?" Li Jianguo was shocked, "I can't let my father drive it?"
Li Jianguo knows how to make money by harvesting wheat, so Li Long said. Yes, he naturally wanted to participate.
He also said something. Someone came from the Han family of the Corps two days ago. Han Dachun came here firstly to catch up with Li Jianguo during the off-season, and secondly to find out if there was any money-making work.
Last year they came to beat Weizi and made some money. This year Li Jianguo didn't call him. Although he wanted to make money, it was hard to say anything.
This winter is here, and he wants to come over and inquire. While talking, Li Jianguo talked about growing melons, buying a tractor, and Li Long harvesting wheat with a harvester.
This made Han Dachun's eyes suddenly light up. There were quite a few people planting wheat in large areas in their corps, so they could let Li Long and others go there to harvest.
Anyway, the distance is not far, just dozens of kilometers.
There is also a company of melon growers in the Corps over there. The harvest is not as large as that of Li Jianguo, but they have to hand it over.
This also surprised Li Jianguo. He didn't expect that there were also people in the corps company.
After all, there are two systems, and sometimes it is not clear whether it is true or not.
Li Long thinks that going to the Corps to harvest wheat is also a good way. Although the workers in the Corps do not get paid until the end of the year, they can still pay on the spot when they go out to work there.
This expands the scope.
“There are still people who drive tractors. Anyway, if you have a tractor, wheat harvesting will be faster. I plan to find Xie Yundong, Jia Weidong, and Liang Dacheng and let them drive tractors.
They can’t buy it at the moment. When I picked up the tractor, I negotiated with them. They could either work for me and drive the tractor to cut wheat to earn wages, or rent the tractor with the harvester. I could earn one or two thousand yuan in a wheat season. "
< br>
What business is best to do?
Of course it is best to do monopoly business. There is one more thing Li Long needs to do urgently. He originally planned to go to Kuitun to find Director Du after the wheat season was over, but he had to go to the mountains to harvest forage, and one thing after another caused delays.
Director Du did not call either, but Wei Tianxing failed to buy the harvester when he went to look for it, which showed that Director Du still kept his promise.
He plans to further negotiate with Factory Director Du. It is best to win the harvester agency rights in Beiting Prefecture. If he cannot win, he can win the rights to the two nearby counties plus Shicheng.
At present, the scope of influence that Li Long can radiate is this large at most, so don't think too much.
After all, a report by Director Jiang suddenly made the harvester appear in front of the world. Wei Tianxing was definitely not the only one who thought of using this to make money.
Even if he cannot occupy most of the market, he will at least control the harvesting rights of wheat fields in nearby places next year.
With three or five tractors, it is not a problem to harvest tens of thousands of acres of wheat in one wheat season.
In fact, Li Jianguo was right when he heard what Han Dachun said. The Corps was planting many more cash crops than the local area at this time. After all, local governments are currently anxious to solve the problem of food and clothing, while the Corps is already solving the problem of prosperity and development.
Of course, there are historical reasons for the stagnation of the Corps later, which I won’t go into.
Li Jianguo heard what Li Long said, and it was indeed a solution. But he thought for a while and said:
"If you do this, you have to go to other towns. Is that easy?"
"None of them have many relatives and friends in other places? Find it yourself, if not, just talk about it yourself. If you want to make money, there is no reason to wait." Li Long smiled:
"Yes. When I go back, I will tell them that if I want to go out and make money, I will support it. Otherwise, there are many people in the team who want to make money."
"That's right. "Li Jianguo completely agreed with this. He suddenly thought of Liang Yuemei's younger brother Liang Wenyu, and coughed lightly and said:
"In that case, her uncle Juan can do it too."
"Yes, yes, yes, why did I forget about him?" Li Long really forgot about Liang Wenyu.
The main reason is that this person is a capable person himself, and with no one to support him, he worked from the village youth league committee to the village party secretary, and finally became one of the few people in the county who directly transferred from a village cadre to a civil servant. .
Awesome, right?
So I subconsciously ignored him. In fact, he is very weak at this time and can still help.
In fact, Li Long could remember it when he went to the Liang family to deliver sheep, but now he still needs Li Jianguo to remind him.
Li Jianguo did not expect that Li Long had the money to buy so many tractors. It seems that he has indeed made a lot of money in the past two years.
Very pleased.
"Actually, there is another person who makes money." Li Jianguo thought for a while and said, "Buy a big tractor to plow the land. The whole team has more than 2,000 acres of land, and one plowing time costs more than 8,000, at least twice a year. , but also harrowing, leveling, and sowing..."
Li Longshen took it for granted.
But then he shook his head.
Wang Caimi is currently working the tractor in the team. He must have paid off the team's debt this year, right?
But there shouldn’t be much left.
In the next ten years or so, the land in the team increased from more than 2,000 acres to more than 7,000 acres, but he was the main person cultivating the land.
His dilapidated Dongfanghong 75 has been working hard. Wang Caimi even bought an older Donghongfang 75 and drove it back to the yard to use as dismantled parts. use.
After all, this second-hand thing breaks too easily.
Making money is really making money, from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands to over two hundred thousand a year.
The hard work is really hard work. The tractor often breaks down in the field. It takes a whole night to repair it, but it can’t even be repaired.
At first I couldn’t afford a new one, but later I was reluctant to buy a new one.
Of course, not everyone is jealous of this business. Later, someone bought Tai Dongfanghong 802, which was also a second-hand Taiwanese product. Of course, I used Xiuxiu, but in the end I stopped using it.
After all, ordinary people really can't handle this stuff.
This is monopoly.
Of course Li Long can do it. Now he has taken a loan to build the Dongfanghong 75 from Taishin. It is estimated that all the tractor factories will sell it to him.
But it’s too much trouble. That thing was a chain-rail type thing, which was inconsistent with his driving habits. He wouldn't trust others to drive such a big thing when buying it new.
The more important point is that it is too slow.
The development of tractors in the team was due to the popularity of high-horsepower tractors from Northern Xinjiang. Those tractors have sufficient horsepower and can plow quickly. The flip-up plow does not require someone to sit behind and lift it up and down. It can plow up to 400 acres in a day and night.
At that time, the price of plowing land had reached 20 yuan an acre.
Li Long plans to enter one at that time. Get the news in advance. At that time, there were state subsidies for agricultural machinery. If you buy one, you can even contract all the nearby land in one plowing season.
Dongfanghong 75 can plow a hundred acres a day and is exhausted. At that time, Wang Caimi was still using old tractors.
There is no way to compete. If you really want to build one, you will be the best.
Li Long vaguely remembered that the price of a high-horsepower wheeled tractor was more than 300,000 yuan at that time, with a 30% state subsidy and more than 200,000 yuan out of pocket.
I believe you will be able to earn it by then, right?
If you really build one and two people take turns driving it, you can basically make your money back in one year.
The main focus is the information gap.
Li Long suddenly laughed as he thought about it.
Team Four seems to have always believed in second-hand goods when it comes to large machinery. The tractor Wang Caimi bought was second-hand, and the Dongfanghong 802 bought by another person was also second-hand; the 28-inch tire tractor someone bought was also second-hand.
When it came time to plant cotton, someone in the team bought a second-hand cotton picking machine with a loan.
I feel like I can never keep up with the situation and always follow others.
Fortunately, the governance environment in the team is relatively good, and the humanistic environment is also good. There are no village cadres controlling village administration, nor are there any cases of misappropriating various subsidy funds.
Li Long’s living environment has always been in the village from the beginning. It was not until the end that he had time to travel after joining the cooperative. Only then did he realize that not all villages are like this. .
It turns out that cooperatives in some villages cannot be established without background. It turns out that some people only received dividends for the first year after joining the cooperative, and there was no news after that. It turned out that some people's subsidies were lost after being told that they were not available. It turned out that some people knew that I know that some village cadres have embezzled village funds, but they have no place to file a complaint.
At this time, I felt that my village was so "model". A cooperative is established by connecting more than a dozen land plots in series. If you don’t receive various subsidies, the village will urge you to receive them. At the end of the year, the person in charge of the cooperative's dividends will tell you where the money you earned has been used, and how much the final dividends should be.
The fourth team has a lot of land, so even if the price of the cotton they grow in the end is not very good, because there is no contract fee, basically every farmer who joins the stock can still get a lot of money every year. .
They also understand that their share is basically the same as other people’s contract fees.
But think about it, the contracting fee for one acre of land almost reached 1,500 to 1,800 in the end. If one acre of land can earn so much, the dividends will be quite large.
Even if expenses are excluded, one acre of land can be divided into one thousand dividends, that’s fine.
That's too far.
Li Long knew this situation, so he firmly decided to stay in the village and wait for the second round of land allocation to contract more land from the team. By then, the land in the village had changed from what it is now to The number of acres increased from more than 2,000 acres to more than 7,000 acres, which was a lot more contracted.
We don’t cultivate so much now. Firstly, it’s because mechanization is still far behind and manpower can’t grow it. Secondly, because saline-alkali land doesn’t produce food, so it’s useless to cultivate it.
But cotton grows on saline-alkali land, which is so strange.
Li Long was waiting for that opportunity. He wants to wait until the high-horsepower tractor comes out, grab the first crab and make a lot of money, and then wait until the cotton picker appears and buy a cotton picker. Then he will be one step ahead and then step by step. ahead.
Of course it is not easy. After all, when cotton picking machines first came out, each one cost more than two million, and because of the engine, they often caught fire during the cotton picking process, causing losses.
So, let’s do it step by step.
As for the chain-rail tractor (crawler type), whoever likes to use it can use it. Although this thing can be used as a bulldozer with a bulldozer attached to the front, Li Long can't use it.
At most, he thought that when Xiaohaizi was contracted, he would take the time to dig up Xiaohaizi and clear out the sediment. After all, Xiaohaizi is different from Dahaizi. There are many reeds in it, so the water flow will slow down and the silt will remain and accumulate.
This stuff is a good fertilizer, but people here don’t use it very much.
Li Jianguo knew that neither of his brothers were experts at repairing machinery, so seeing that Li Long was not interested in the tractor currently plowing, he stopped talking.
After Gu Xiaoxia and Du Chunfang finished speaking, they both came out. Gu Xiaoxia was going to help in the kitchen, so Liang Yuemei was kicked out so that she could have a good rest. Du Chunfang had a smile on her face and seemed very satisfied with her conversation with Gu Xiaoxia.
Seeing the people come out, Li Qingxia stopped chatting. It was not good for four men to gather together outside, so Li Long greeted everyone to go inside.
After entering the house, Li Long looked at the time. It was twelve o'clock, and turned on the TV.
These days, there is a children's program at twelve o'clock on Sundays, and cartoons are played. It's great for children, but in fact many of the programs are also very novel for adults.
A few men watching TV cartoons may seem weird in later generations, but it was normal in this era.
Li Long sat next to Li Qingxia and asked casually:
"Dad, how about I bring Xiao Haizi down to catch fish for you?"
"Private it? What do you mean by enclosing it? Let's just catch fish at home?" Li Qingxia asked doubtfully.
"That's not true. After the contract is sealed, whoever you want can catch the fish." Li Long said.
This was a bit overbearing, and both Gu Boyuan and Li Jianguo felt it was inappropriate.
Xiao Haizi has always been the "inner lake" of the fourth team. Although it is adjacent to the third team, it has nothing to do with the third team.
Dahaizi is different. There are seven or eight villages surrounding Dahaizi to the south, west and north. People in these villages can go to Dahaizi to catch fish. No one said this until Dahaizi was contracted to raise crabs. .
Even at that time, when villagers set nets to catch fish in Dahaizi, the crab farmers could not control them. At most, they would not allow them to catch crabs.
But Xiao Haizi is completely different. Xiao Haizi, Li Jianguo, Gu Boyuan and the others watched him slowly become what he is now.
The dam behind is also constantly reinforced by them.
Li Long suddenly said that he wanted to contract Xiaohaizi and make it private, which made both of them a little dissatisfied.
Although this is beneficial to the family.
Li Long could understand their feelings, but he also had to let them know that times had changed. Not only Xiaohaizi, but also many places would be contracted by private parties in the future.
"Brother, Uncle Gu, even if I don't contract this Xiaohaizi, and it is targeted by outsiders later, the village will hand it over to others. At present, there are still a lot of fish produced every year, and we are not the only ones who have to sell it for money. The team members know it, and the whole town knows it.
If someone is interested in Xiao Haizi, If we want to contract through the township, do you think the team will agree? Rather than waiting for outsiders to contract, why don't you think this is bad? Just catch fish.”
Li Long’s words are very realistic.
Li Jianguo and Gu Boyuan were both thinking.
“It’s not just Xiaohaizi. Just watch, Weigou will also have to be contracted by others in the future. Some people may even dig their own fish ponds to raise fish and sell them.” Li Long continued, “The above policies allow it. Let’s all get rich first. What’s the way to get rich? There must be more people who want to give it a try.”
Five or six years later, there was a capable person in the village who failed to start a business and owed a lot of debt. In the end, the village had no choice but to let him contract Xiao Haizi. See if he can find a way to make money through Xiao Haizi.
At that time, the dam in Xiaohaizi had collapsed once. There were no big fish in it, only small crucian carp. The man was really helpless.
It was ruined in the end.
At present, Xiao Haizi is doing well thanks to Li Long's efforts, but he doesn't want others to take advantage of him.
So, strike first to gain the upper hand.
Two years of experience made Li Jianguo and Gu Boyuan know that what Li Long said should be correct. No matter where this news comes from, for them, it means that there will be a big change in the management style of the production team in the future.
In other words, everything can be privatized.
"Then let's take care of it." Li Qingxia was extremely satisfied with Xiao Haizi. He thought it would be fine to catch fish in Xiaohaizi every year.
Thinking about if one day the place was contracted and no fish could be caught, Li Qingxia felt that life would really not be much fun.
"Okay, when I get back, I will find the team to contract, and then go to the village to register."
"Then how many years do you plan to contract?" Li Jianguo asked.
"Let's take the contract for ten years first?" Li Long said. "The team will definitely not ask for much money. Dad, how much can you get from catching fish and selling it in one summer?" Li Long turned to ask. Li Qingxia.
As soon as Li Qingxia heard Li Long ask this, his face suddenly became more radiant. He smiled somewhat reservedly and said:
"Let's talk about getting two or three thousand."
Okay, dad can almost build a tractor in one summer.
Li Jianguo suddenly felt that he seemed to be a bit of a hindrance to his family. After working so hard in the fields, the money I earned in the end was not as much as what my father earned from leisurely fishing in a year.
After all, it’s only two or three thousand in one summer. Maybe my father won’t tell me more. With some hard work in the winter, maybe more than five thousand won’t be a problem.
Dad did this alone.
Li Jianguo sighed and felt that the TV was not good to watch.
But he also knew that he couldn't be like Li Long, let alone be as comfortable as his father.
In the end, he had to pay the public food for the whole family, including Li Long and Gu Boyuan.
Next year, Gu Boyuan’s land will have to be planted by him, so it would be much better to have a tractor.
Fortunately, Gu Xiaoxia's household registration has been moved to the county seat, and she no longer has to pay her share of the public food.
The reason why Li Long thinks this production team is good is that there are relatively few responsibilities here except for public grain.
He heard from his father that the burden in his mouth was actually heavier than that in Beijiang.
Back to the original story, in fact, Li Long still wants to contract Weihu. Otherwise, in two years' time, the supply and marketing cooperative's tasks of Weihu will be controlled by others. At that time, he will want to make more money. This money is not that easy.
After all, Weihu will really be contracted, and it will be faster than Xiaohaizi.
Of course, the contract will only last for a few years, and the reed tasks issued by the supply and marketing cooperative will be collected for a few more years, and they will no longer be collected around 1990. At that time, paper mills did not need reeds as much. After all, wheat straw was better in papermaking and the output of wheat straw was also large.
But in recent years, there have been quite a few profits. (End of this chapter)
