Stepmother Reborn: Dad, my mom hasn't hit me for three days

Li Jianguo paused and added, "By the end of the year, our fox can be sold for 10,000 yuan. I can also mortgage another house in the capital and get a loan of 40,000 yuan. But there is still a shortfall of 90,000 yuan."

Ergou really wanted to help them, but both of his factories were producing egg-laying hens, and he didn’t want to kill any of them.

Li Jianguo looked at Zhang Xiuhua, "Don't you have a courtyard house too?"

Zhang Xiuhua decisively refused, "I don't want to mortgage the courtyard house. I've already invested a lot of money. You can think of another way!"

If the brewery business is not good or cannot be opened, her courtyard will be gone. She does not want to take this risk.

Li Jianguo sighed and said nothing more.

Zhang Xiuhua patted Li Jianguo on the shoulder and said, "Just wait a little longer. Maybe next year when we have saved more money, we can make this happen."

Li Jianguo looked at her and said, "Didn't you say we should do it as soon as possible? Besides, the transfer of second-hand brewery equipment doesn't happen often."

Zhang Xiuhua didn't expect him to stop her with what she said before. In fact, there is another way, that is, she uses the space to trade with Damao to make quick money. But this will increase the risk, and how should she explain to him how she makes money?

Li Jianguo himself came up with a good idea. "We conservatively estimated that each family would contribute 1,000 yuan. Maybe they are willing to contribute 2,000 yuan. I will call a meeting of all villagers tomorrow and tell them about this matter first. Maybe we can raise enough money."

Zhang Xiuhua is not optimistic. Before, there was no other way to make money in the village, so they would definitely invest, but now it is different. Every family wants to grow fungus to make money. Building a greenhouse is the most basic investment. They may be more willing to diversify their investments instead of putting all their money in one basket.

Before she could say anything to spoil the fun, Ergou had already agreed, "Sure, try convincing everyone first. Maybe it will work!"

Zhang Xiuhua didn't say anything more. Just let him try.

The next morning, Zhang Xiuhua and Li Jianguo were busy working in the orchard, and Youcai came over and asked them to go home for dinner.

As long as Youcai is at home, Youcai will be responsible for preparing the meals at home.

Zhang Xiuhua had heard that chefs don’t cook when they go home, but Youcai really loves being a chef and he never misses any opportunity to cook. He regards cooking as an art.

After the family finished their meal, Li Jianguo asked Youcai to take Zhenzhen to the orchard and help look after the animals for a while, as he was going to hold a village meeting.

Youcai wondered, "What's the matter? I can't listen?"

"It's not that I can't listen. Your second brother helped me find out the price of the beer equipment. It costs 800,000. I want to tell the villagers and see if they are willing to invest." Li Jianguo told the truth.

Youcai suddenly realized, "Isn't the money enough?"

"It's not enough. With the mortgage of your house and mine, there is still a shortfall of 90,000." Li Jianguo sighed, "I want to persuade the villagers to pay more. After all the noise, you and Zhenzhen should go to the mountain to feed the foxes. I guess she has never even seen what a fox looks like in her life."

The countryside has its own advantages: beautiful scenery, authentic food, and animals that city dwellers cannot see.

Youcai agreed.

After dinner, Zhang Xiuhua, Ergou and Li Jianguo convened a meeting of all villagers.

Li Jianguo stood on the stage and explained the idea of ​​the brewery to everyone, mainly talking about how profitable it was, and Ergou followed to analyze its prospects. Considering that he was now the richest man in the village, his words were still quite powerful.

Zhang Xiuhua is responsible for keeping accounts backstage.

After listening to the two, the villagers asked a lot of questions.

For example, the secret recipe of beer, where the brewery is built, who manages the brewery, how beer is sold, etc.

Li Jianguo answered their questions one by one.

"We bought ready-made equipment for beer, with a semi-automated process. The secret recipe is very simple and not difficult. The only difficulty is to lower the price."

"The brewery was built in our village, and the workers were recruited from our village."

“I manage the brewery.”

"Beer sales are just like egg-laying chickens and foreign chickens. We can deliver them to various small shops. The beer from state-owned factories is too expensive. We have a price advantage."

When the villagers heard that he had already thought it through and that it could make so much money, they immediately decided how much money they were willing to invest.

Li Jianguo set a limit, with the minimum contribution from each family being one thousand. Most people also contributed one thousand. Occasionally, some families that were relatively well-off would contribute two thousand, but they were still a minority.

Li Jianguo convinced them that they could invest more because the total investment to build the brewery would be 810,000 yuan.

Everyone was whispering and talking to each other.

In order to encourage each company to invest more, Li Jianguo asked his eldest brother to set an example.

But Li Jiandang was in a dilemma. "Second brother, at the end of the year, the wholesale company distributed dividends, and I gave that money to Hongwu to let him pay off his mortgage early. He is under too much pressure now and doesn't want to have a child. Only when we help pay off the debt will they dare to have a child."

Zhang Xiuhua was a little speechless. It was impossible to get her elder brother and sister-in-law to invest money. She could only look for someone else. She found Aunt Wang, who had the best relationship with her. "Why did your family only invest 1,000 yuan? This brewery must be profitable. Invest more!"

Aunt Wang also wants to invest more, but this means building a greenhouse. "I also want to plant more fungus next year."

Not only Aunt Wang thought so, almost everyone in the village thought so.

Zhang Xiuhua looked at the statistics and found that the total investment was 23 yuan, which was more than the original estimate. Almost every family invested. However, each family also said that this was the maximum amount they could afford, and no more would be acceptable.

Li Jianguo asked the old village chief, who also had no money. "Guoxiang saw a store in another place and asked us to borrow money. The 5,000 yuan he invested was the maximum we could afford."

The old village chief was still very optimistic about their brewery, not because of Li Jianguo and Ergou's face, but because of Zhang Xiuhua.

He found that Zhang Xiuhua was very good at business. She had made a lot of money in the first few years of investing in the chicken farm, but once she withdrew, the chicken farm could only make a little money.

There are no private breweries now. If this one is opened, it will be unique. It will definitely make money. So he spent all his family's savings. He really couldn't afford to spend more.

Li Jianguo looked at Li Jianxin again.

He shook his head like a rattle. "I opened a small shop in the county town, and I haven't made back my capital yet. This two thousand is my wife's capital for Xiang Xiang and Rui Rui. I put it in a five-year fixed deposit, and now I don't want any interest."

Li Jianguo looked at other families again, and everyone shook their heads.

Xiangxiang's mother seemed a little interested, but when Zhang Xiuhua looked over, she quickly looked away.

Zhang Xiuhua looked down and saw that Xiangxiang's family had invested 3,000 yuan, which was quite a lot.

On the way back, Li Jianguo felt a little depressed.

Ergou had expected this, but he still smiled and said, "At least thirty-four thousand more than the previous estimate. We just need to get another fifty-six thousand together."

Zhang Xiuhua asked Li Jianguo and Ergou to go back first, "I'm going to talk to Xiangxiang's mother."

She felt that Xiangxiang's mother might want to invest a little more, but for some reason, she didn't increase the amount.

As he said that, he ran forward a few steps and caught up with Xiangxiang's mother.

Ergou touched his chin, "Godmother, do you want Xiangxiang's family to invest more? This is a good idea. Her family is indeed rich. Her family was the first to build a greenhouse. I heard that you can earn more than 200 yuan per mu of wood ear mushrooms, and you can earn two crops a year. Her family must have made a lot."

Li Jianguo seemed to be thinking about something.

Zhang Xiuhua caught up with Xiangxiang's mother and asked her what she thought of the brewery.

Xiangxiang's mother is very optimistic about this business. "I also invested 3,000 yuan. When do you plan to build the factory?"

"There is a shortage of funds. I also want to build it soon." Zhang Xiuhua asked her if she wanted to invest more. "Your greenhouse has been built a long time ago, and there is no other way to invest. The chicken farm in our village is no longer profitable. The extra money will depreciate if it is placed in the bank. It is better to invest in a brewery, and you can get your money back in less than a year!"

Xiangxiang's mother was a little hesitant, "This is too big a matter, I can't make the decision."

Zhang Xiuhua smiled, "It's okay, then go home and discuss it with your husband. When we build the factory, he won't be afraid of having no wine to drink anymore."

There are few men in the village who don't like to drink. In the past, they drank Erguotou, which was adulterated and easy to cause trouble. Beer is lower in alcohol content and better.

Xiangxiang's mother nodded randomly. Just as Zhang Xiuhua was about to leave, she suddenly called her again.

Zhang Xiuhua was puzzled, "What's wrong?"

"I want to call Xiangxiang. Is it convenient?" Xiangxiang's mother finally said it.

Zhang Xiuhua suddenly realized that Xiangxiang was the backbone of this family. She understood! Her family was the only one in the village with a telephone. She nodded and said, "Sure, why not? Let's go! Let's go to my house and make a phone call!"

She took Xiangxiang's mother back to the main room of her house. Afraid that Xiangxiang's mother would be embarrassed, she asked Xiangxiang's mother to make the phone call in the room while she found an excuse to hide away.
