Chapter 161 Ways to Make Money
Soon, Biyun Township invited a professional evaluation agency to evaluate the original township-owned enterprises.
After obtaining a reasonable price, Biyun Township began auctioning off these businesses.
Many people signed up, and these companies were quickly auctioned off, but the prices were not ideal, selling for only two million.
There's nothing we can do; people these days don't have much money.
If we wait a few more years, perhaps some people will have money.
However, these companies probably won't live to see that day, and the township doesn't want to take on such a huge burden right now.
This two million is also to return the money to those who bought these companies at extremely low prices.
Although the methods they used to acquire the company were illegal, the money they paid was genuine.
After deducting this portion, the township only received one million yuan.
They were arrested because they committed crimes, but the money that belongs to the owner still needs to be returned to them.
Qi Tongwei still needs to figure out how to use this million.
Paying everyone's salary is necessary, but we can't pay them all.
Having finally acquired such a large sum of money, we must find a way to develop some industries and provide Biyun Township with another path for development.
Only in this way can Biyun Township quickly get rid of its current state of poverty and backwardness.
If we use all of this million to pay everyone's back wages, it might make them happy for a while, but it will make it difficult for the village to carry out other development projects in the future.
Paying off the debt is even more impossible. If Biyun Township were to pay off its debts now, it would be impossible to make a living in the future.
At the same time, the results of the debt cancellation also came out: of the five million debt, nearly one million was cancelled, and there was still four million debt to be repaid.
Wang Dayou and Li Facai are truly despicable; they didn't do anything worthwhile, but they left a huge hole in the company.
Qi Tongwei felt immense pressure. Chen Xinghua focused his energy on the county, and he was basically responsible for all the work in the township.
However, Qi Tongwei did not complain. This was the result he wanted. Now, he basically had the final say in Biyun Township.
Of course, Qi Tongwei wouldn't make decisions unilaterally; he would still report many things to Chen Xinghua and hold meetings to discuss them together.
Running a one-man show could leave a bad impression on his superiors and affect his future promotions.
Qi Tongwei did not suppress Weng Suyi and Fu Ruiqi, as he did not want to offend more people.
Of course, I won't deliberately try to please them; I'll just maintain a normal working relationship.
"Township head, what are our plans for the one million yuan obtained from the auction of the company?"
Hu Zhengyi arrived at Qi Tongwei's office. The money had already been deposited into the township's finances, and now it was time to discuss how to use it.
If you don't use it, there will be a lot of people eyeing this money.
He started the vegetable planting business, and he also had a part in the crayfish and fish farming, but Feng Dagang was mainly in charge.
He also wanted to achieve something in his area of responsibility.
He thought about it for a long time and felt that electrification was a good solution.
Apart from Biyun Village, where the township government is located, the remaining 15 villages in Biyun Township still do not have electricity.
“There are many things that need to be done in the township, but I think we should first use this million to invest and try to double or triple it by the end of the year.”
In this way, the township can not only pay everyone more wages, but also do other things.
For example, providing electricity to the remaining fifteen villages.
Using the money to pay back wages or pay off debts wouldn't solve much of the problem.
We must use this million to make investments and quickly make Biyun Township wealthy.
With money, you can do a lot of work and solve a lot of problems.
"Your thinking is more profound than ours; I didn't think that much about it."
My only thought is whether we can use this money to bring electricity to some of the remaining 15 villages so they can also have lights and improve their lighting conditions.
Township head, do you have any good investment ideas?
Hu Zhengyi couldn't help but admire him, for Qi Tongwei's thinking was indeed more profound than his own.
He was only thinking about the short term, while Qi Tongwei was thinking about the long term.
“There are many things in Lingnan that we don’t have in Handong. I think we can bring them over and sell them.”
Based on the distance between Handong and Lingnan, it takes three or four months to make six or seven round trips to bring six or seven batches of goods over for sale.
If things go well, we could have several million in revenue before the Chinese New Year.
This is the solution that Qi Tongwei just came up with.
In those days, many people who went into business made a living by smuggling goods from Lingnan to the mainland and selling them, earning several times the price difference, thus accumulating wealth quickly.
These people started with only a few thousand yuan in capital, but after a year or two of trading, they had a net worth of hundreds of thousands of yuan.
If you go to the township to do it, the initial capital will definitely start at 100,000 yuan, and then it can turn into 1 million yuan in a month.
By the time the Chinese New Year arrives, it could become three to five million.
"This is a good idea, and I am willing to lead some cadres to do this."
Hu Zhengyi's eyes lit up when he heard this. The goods in Lingnan were all imported from abroad and were all best-selling products.
This matter is very promising; if done well, it will surely be a great achievement.
“I will personally lead the team there. I have acquaintances there, the childhood friend of the junior who came to see me last time. He used to be the deputy director of Dafeng Factory in Guangming District, Jingzhou City.”
I recently went to Lingnan to start a business.
Get ready here, we're going to bring electricity to several nearby villages!
You should hurry up and finish the plan, and get things settled as soon as possible.
Qi Tongwei was uneasy about letting Hu Zhengyi handle the business. Hu Zhengyi had never traveled far from home, and the situation in Lingnan was very complicated; he might not be able to manage it.
Moreover, Hu Zhengyi was unaware of which items were in high demand and profitable.
Let him go and bring electricity to several nearby villages, so he can have something to show for his efforts.
Hu Zhengyi was in charge of the substation, so it was perfectly legitimate for him to do this.
He mentioned Cai Chenggong only to convince Hu Zhengyi that he had acquaintances in Lingnan.
All Qi Tongwei knew about Cai Chenggong was that he had resigned as deputy director of Dafeng Factory, sold his shares, and fled.
Qi Tongwei didn't know exactly where he went.
"Yes, Mayor!"
Hu Zhengyi was somewhat disappointed, but he dared not voice his opinion, since he had never been to any more distant places than the county town.
Fortunately, Qi Tongwei offered him some comfort and asked him to bring electricity to several nearby villages.
Qi Tongwei reported his thoughts to Chen Xinghua.
"Tongwei, select a few people and personally lead the team to Lingnan to familiarize them with the procedures."
"Wait until they're familiar with it before handing it over to them."
Chen Xinghua strongly agreed, believing that this method could solve the funding problem in Biyun Township.
He had long envied Gushanling Township, which had tens of millions of yuan in funds.
If Biyun Township had tens of millions of yuan, it would definitely undergo earth-shattering changes.
"Okay, secretary!"
After obtaining Chen Xinghua's consent, Qi Tongwei immediately took action and called over Xiao Fan, the deputy director of the Party and Government Office.
"Township head, you wanted to see me?"
Xiao Fan arrived quickly. As a cadre promoted by Qi Tongwei, he dared not delay when Qi Tongwei summoned him.
"Take a few people and go to Jingzhou to establish a trading company in the name of the village!"
You can choose the personnel yourself, and I'll have the finance office allocate 20 yuan to you!
Without wasting words, Qi Tongwei immediately told Xiao Fan what had happened.
"Yes, Mayor!"
Xiao Fan was overjoyed upon hearing this, for Qi Tongwei intended to give him an important position.
