"Just tell me if you have anything."

Zhang Hai cleared his throat: "The brigade held a meeting two days ago to convey some of the spirit from above, which means to encourage each village to engage in side businesses and explore some ways to make a fortune."

Wan Feng is a little confused. Although the Third Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has been held for a long time, it seems that it will take some time for the full opening up to rural areas. Is it too early to do it now? According to his memory, it is true that household quotas will be guaranteed to each household and each region.

The opening up should have started in 1983!

Is there a confusion in time?

But what does it have to do with the above encouraging them to make a fortune?

"This doesn't seem to have anything to do with me, does it? This is your adults' business. Why did you call me here?"

"That's what happened. Yesterday Liang Wan told you about selling broken glass. I saw everything you did after arriving in Wa, from renting out the little book to selling it in exchange for broken glass. I thought you were such a little kid.

You are very financially savvy and want you to help us come up with ideas."

Give them advice?

Wan Feng was sure that there must be something wrong with his ears, or there was something wrong with Zhang Hai's mouth.

Isn’t this a big deal? If you adults asked me, a child, to come up with an idea, it would be all the way to the Pacific Ocean.

But Zhang Hai, this old boy, is quite discerning. You can see a piece of gold buried so deep in the soil.

"You want me to help you come up with ideas? Are you sure this isn't a bad idea?"

"To be honest, I have been the captain since last year. I really want to lead the descendants of Wa to live a good life. Last year, I finally took off the hat of cheating money, so I just want to do something to improve our lives.

It would be better. But the natural conditions behind the depression are like this. There is not much land and it is not fertile. I feel that I can't dig out any food in the soil, but because of the limitations of my brain, I really can't come up with any ideas."

Zhang Hai's words were very sincere.

"Is this related to me?"

"I'm optimistic about you. I always feel that you have something in your head. Just help me think of a way. Even if it's not for others, it's your uncle. He's getting married next year. If he doesn't have money, what can he do to marry your aunt?

, our entire Wahou team is looking at you."

This depth pulled Wan Feng's aunt out, and this height pulled the entire Wa family up.

Now that the depth and height are there, it seems that if he doesn't do something, he will be sorry for the people behind him.

This hat seems a bit too big.

Besides, how could they believe a child's nonsense?

Wan Feng thought for a while, nodded, and came up with an idea.

"What advantages do you have?"

Zhang Hai shook his head: "You have been in Wahou for two or three months. You have seen what Wahou is like, and you don't have any conditions."

Wan Feng thought for a moment and explained: "The conditions I mentioned are like loans, personnel, venues, etc.?"

Once the problem became clear to Zhang Hai, it suddenly became clear to him.

"Wahou's biggest resource is manpower. We have abundant labor and free space. As for money, you can get a certain amount of money from a credit union, which supports a certain amount of loans."

You can get a loan even if you have the manpower and the space. The three most important conditions have been met.

All that's left is the project.

Wan Feng's head started to work.

The scale of village-run enterprises should not be too large at the beginning. Adhering to the basic principle of small investment and quick results, the products must be practical and simple to manufacture. The most important thing is to be suitable for the existing natural conditions of Wahou Village.

One project after another ran through Wan Feng's mind like a train. Many projects were out of time. After a few minutes, three projects stopped.

Wan Feng reorganized his mind and asked for an exercise book and a pen. He wrote a few words on the exercise book: cement tile, red brick, drink.

Then Wan Feng began to introduce: "I have selected three projects for you. They are all projects with low investment and quick results. I will introduce them one by one starting from the first choice."

The expressions of Zhang Hai and the others immediately became serious, and they took on the attitude of listening attentively.

"The first project is a cement tile factory. There will be a very big market for cement tiles in the next few years. Although it is not enough to make a lot of money, it should allow the people in the Wahou team to earn dozens of yuan more per person a year.

It’s not a big problem.”

Zhang Hai and the accountant Liang Wan looked at each other, and they really had no impression of asbestos tiles at the moment.

"Nowadays, houses in rural areas are made of straw thatch. Can we afford to replace the tiles?"

Nowadays, most of the houses in rural areas are thatched houses. If you can make the eaves into tiles, it is already impressive.

"There is great uncertainty in commodities. In your eyes, they have no market but may sell well. Do you all know the reason why department stores welcome hundreds of customers?"

The three nodded.

"You think the cost is too high and you can't afford it, but there must be people who can afford it. Plus factories and mines, this is a big market. As long as we do this part of the business, we will be able to make a considerable surplus. As the times change,

As people's living standards improve, all future houses will become tile-roofed houses."

As a person who has traveled back from the future, Wan Feng knows the real life in the countryside in later generations. Not to mention tile-roofed houses and small buildings are everywhere.

Of course, you can't count on the rural areas for the time being. The main business is those factories and mining enterprises, which are the big ones.

"The space occupied by the tile factory and the initial investment are not large. The materials used for cement tiles are cement and sand. The cement factory in Cement County has ready-made sand, and the sand is available by the Inna River. We only need to make a set of tiles.

Just a mold is enough, the Mold Commune Machinery Factory can completely produce it."

Zhang Hai nodded in agreement.

"I will talk about the second item next, which is to open a brick factory."

"I think this is good!" The old accountant surnamed Li agreed before Wan Feng finished speaking.

Bricks are a necessity in life. Whether you are building a new house, renovating an old house, or building a mansion, bricks can be used.

"I'm not talking about the blue bricks you use now, but red bricks or cement bricks."

At that time, most of the rural areas used blue bricks, and there were really not many red bricks.

"We all know red bricks, what are these cement bricks?" Zhang Hai was confused.

Cement bricks are naturally bricks made of cement and sand, which are not much different from making cement tiles.

Wan Feng remembers that around 2010, after the state banned burning bricks, cement bricks emerged and became the mainstream in the construction market.

"Cement bricks are cement products like cement tiles. They are stronger than blue bricks and red bricks, and the biggest advantage is that they can be produced at the same site as cement tiles. The only difference is that the original mold used is different. As for red bricks, I don't know much about them.

I’ve made the introduction, I guess there’s no shortage of clay fields on Team Wahou’s territory, right?”

Zhang Hai scratched his head: "Clay land is all available, but making red bricks requires at least a brick kiln. The investment seems to be huge."

"This is not a problem. We can first build a small cave dwelling with only four or five holes. What I am worried about is the issue of coal for burning bricks."

In the 1980s, the coal market was not open yet, at least not here. Everything had to be distributed according to the planned economy. This was the headache.

"The coal problem can be solved. We have relatives who are in charge of the coal company." The old accountant said unhurriedly.

"That's easy. The Commune Machinery Factory can design and produce a set of brick-making molds for us, and the rest is manpower work."

Next, Zhang Hai had a lively discussion with the old accountant and Liang Wan.
Chapter completed!
