Rebirth as an official

Chapter 168 Opening a Root Carving Factory

After leaving the gate of the township government, looking back at the small building behind me, I couldn't help but mutter:

"I still don't have enough power in my hands. If I were the mayor, I wouldn't be so passive."

At this moment, I felt my pocket vibrating. When I reported to Zhou Yang just now, I set my phone to vibrate, but it kept ringing.

He took out his phone and looked at it. The three missed calls on it were all from his mother, and he quickly dialed them back.

"Mom, what happened?"

"Anzi, I have contacted the factory in Guangdong. They will send someone to your place to inspect in a few days."

"Really? That's great."

Li An hung up the phone, stood at the gate and thought for a while, waved his fist and said:

"We can make enough food and clothing by ourselves. Since large-scale community construction is not possible, we will take other paths. Let's build a root carving factory first."

Li An decided to focus on the root carving factory. This project does not require much initial investment. The main thing is to invite technicians from Guangdong to teach the technology. It does not require much equipment.

Just build a warehouse to store raw materials, and then build a simple room as a workshop.

If the training is good, it can provide dozens of jobs for the village.

Li An found Liu Changfa when he opened a root carving factory.

Li An decided to jointly set up a factory with him. Of course, he would use the factory in his mother's name.

With technical support, sales, and funds, Liu Changfa readily agreed.

However, they had differences on how to run a root carving factory.

What Liu Changfa means is that the root carving factory directly hires people to work, operates it secretly, and takes the finished root carvings directly to Guangdong. Does anyone know?

Li An disagreed and insisted on applying for a business license and completing all the procedures. He knew that there was no problem when it was small-scale. If it were larger, more people would be recruited.

How do you know if such a villager would backhand a report because of a dispute over interests?

At that time, the industrial, commercial and tax authorities will swarm you and investigate you thoroughly. If you commit serious tax evasion, you will be jailed.

Liu Changfa is more concerned about the root carving factory. Although the cooperative makes money, it has to share it with a group of people. But the root carving factory is different. Except for the workers' wages, everything they earn is their own.

Within a few days, people came from Guangdong, and they were all experienced masters.

Li An and Liu Changfa took them for a good inspection in the mountains of Fuqiang Village.

These old masters are full of praise for the trees in the mountains. The main reason is that there are many old tree roots in various shapes. As long as they are processed and polished properly, they are all very good works of art.

Li An further discussed the cooperation model in depth with the person in charge accompanying him. During the early construction of the root carving factory, people were first arranged to go to the factory in Guangdong to learn. After the factory here was built, they came back to put into production.

When it came to choosing who to study in Guangdong, Li An had one person pop up in his mind, and that was the fifth family.

At noon that day, Li An bought two bottles of wine and brought some braised vegetables and went to the fifth family's residence.

"The fifth eldest brother is still making bamboo carvings."

As soon as Li Ang walked into the yard, he saw the fifth family still sitting next to the bamboo forest, holding a carving knife in his hand and concentrating on carving a bamboo board.

"Here comes Cadre Li, sit down quickly." The fifth family immediately smiled when they saw Li An, put down the things in their hands, and shouted in the direction of the room.

"Guiying, Cadre Li is here, hurry up and pour some water."

"It's Cadre Li here, I'll be there soon." Chen Guiying's voice of surprise came from the room.

Since Wu Youtian's fall, Li An quickly settled the fifth family's disability allowance, pension for the family of martyr Chen Guiying, and alimony for the martyr's children.

Although the pension that Chen Guiying received when her husband died has not been returned because it has been so long ago, the monthly subsidy of one thousand yuan for two people can now enable their family to live well.

The fifth family was extremely grateful for Li An's help, and they were extremely enthusiastic every time Li An came to visit.

"Commander Li, have you eaten yet?" asked the fifth family.

"No, I wanted to eat Aunt Chen's stir-fried sausage, so I came over here." After speaking, Li An shook the sausage in his hand.

"This is not easy, I'll let Guiying do it," the fifth family quickly greeted Chen Guiying.

Without waiting too long, several meat dishes including stir-fried pork intestines and braised pork ribs were placed on the table.

Chen Guiying said with some embarrassment: "Manager Li, you didn't tell me in advance that you came. There is nothing to eat at home."

"Aunt Chen, it's already very rich." Li An responded with a smile.

"Fifth eldest brother, take two sips." Li An took out the wine that he had prepared long ago.

"Okay." The fifth man took the bottle with a smile. He was also a good drinker, but Chen Guiying was usually very strict and wouldn't let him drink more. This time he took the opportunity to drink a few more glasses.

After the two had a few drinks, Li An brought the conversation back to business.

"Fifth eldest brother, Liu Changfa and I are planning to open a root carving factory. Are you interested in participating?"

"Root carving factory? Mr. Li, please tell me carefully." The fifth company became interested upon hearing this.

Li An roughly expressed his thoughts and wanted him to go to Guangdong to learn root carving technology.

"Fifth eldest brother, you already have a foundation in sculpture. It will be no problem to go to Guangdong to study. When you come back, you can teach the skills to the new people we recruit. Firstly, you can make money, and secondly, you can also Let the people in our village have another skill." After Li An finished speaking, he looked at the fifth family with burning eyes.

"Mr. Li, to be honest, I'm quite willing, but you also know what my legs are like. Will people have any objections?" The fifth family said with some worry.

"What does it matter? Brother No. [-], as long as you agree, there will be no problem in Guangdong. I will pay for all your past expenses and let Aunt Chen go over there to take care of your life, so that you can learn skills with peace of mind. "

The fifth family was even more excited when they heard Li An's careful arrangements, but then he thought of something and said hesitantly: "No, Yongjun is still in school. Who will take care of him when we leave."

"What's the big deal? Yongjun usually stays at the school boarding school. Let him stay with me on Saturdays and Sundays. I'll take care of food and other things. You and Aunt Chen can just go and go." Li An immediately went to school for the fifth family. Solved the worries.

"Why are you so embarrassed? It's too troublesome for you." The fifth family said a little embarrassed.

"It doesn't matter. The fifth eldest brother also works for the factory. As long as he learns the skills, it will be worth it." Li An also got drunk at this time and stood up and said: "As long as the fifth eldest brother comes back after learning, we can carve the roots together." The factory will become bigger and stronger and create brilliance.”

The fifth family is also a good-natured person. Li An said it all, he raised his glass without any hesitation and said: "I will live up to the good intentions of Cadre Li and guarantee to complete the mission."

The fifth family unknowingly used the terms used in the army.

In the following days, the old chef from Guangdong was treated very thoughtfully by Ang Li, and then he returned to Guangdong with the fifth family very satisfied. .
