Li Jingming said: "I will stay here tonight, and I will explain my attitude to the villagers tomorrow.
My position is very clear. The reason why I want to close the factory is to cooperate with road construction.
But if they make trouble like this, I will stop working tomorrow."
Seeing that Li Jingming was really angry, Secretary Li said: "Jingming, actually I don't quite understand, your factory doesn't need to be closed down at all.
Think about it, you bought dozens of acres of land at the entrance of the village, can't you just move the factory into the land?"
Zhang Kaikai and Zhao Wenhu on the side also looked at each other, and they actually meant the same thing.
But when the brick and tile factory was first opened, they all said they would listen to Li Jingming.
And if it weren’t for Li Jingming’s generosity, how could they have made so much money following others?
Therefore, when faced with the closure of the brick and tile factory, the two men were puzzled, but they did not speak out.
Li Jingming said: "Uncle Li, I know what you mean.
I'm doing this for everyone's sake.
The land in our village is fertile. If so much land is abandoned due to brick and tile factories, I really have no way to explain it to you.
Times are progressing, and society is also progressing. In a few years, these bricks will probably no longer be used, and the house will have to be built with other materials."
Secretary Li laughed and said: "If you don't need bricks to build a house, what else can you use to build a house?"
Li Jingming didn't know how to explain it to Party Secretary Li. Generally speaking, if Party Secretary Li had seen the outside world, he wouldn't say this.
Li Jingming's head was about to explode. He thought for a while and said, "Uncle Li, how about this? It's still too early to mention things that haven't happened yet. There are still more than three months before the Chinese New Year. It's useless to think about it too early.
Let’s move the bricks that are fired now to the inside first, and reserve a path near the river.
Uncles in the village, who should do odd jobs should still do odd jobs, let’s see as we walk.”
Secretary Li thought about it and decided that this was all he could do.
What Li Jingcheng thought was that since no one wanted this factory to close down, let's take it one step at a time.
Secretary Li said: "Have you made up your mind? Shouldn't you close it?"
Li Jingming was getting anxious and said: "Uncle Li, I don't have to say anything about this matter. Let's see how they build the roads then, okay?"
Seeing that Li Jingming was annoyed, Party Secretary Li said, "Okay, I'll tell them to go immediately."
In fact, people like Sun Jian were also worried.
They have been working in this factory for two or three years. Their house has been built and their living conditions have improved. Of course they want to stay here and earn more savings so that their children can go to school in the future.
Do you think Li Jingming was forced to do anything by these people? They are also worried about Li Jingming.
They had made money, so if the factory had to be closed sooner or later, they hoped that the villagers would not embarrass Li Jingming.
Sun Jian saw that Li Jingming was in such a difficult situation and couldn't help but said: "Brother Li, if it really doesn't work and they dare to cause trouble, the twenty or thirty of us who have received training will be able to stop them no matter what."
Li Jingming said: "Forget it, let me be quiet."
Li Jingming originally wanted to stay and tell the villagers tomorrow morning, but the rain was getting heavier and heavier, so he asked Xu Chengye to drag him into the city with Li Jingcheng.
On the way back, Li Jingcheng suggested: "Brother, I know you are thinking about the people in the village, but since they are unwilling to let us stop working, let's continue working. It won't be affected anyway."
Li Jingming said: "Jingcheng, the soil in our village is very rich.
Look, we have been making bricks for the past three years. You can see how much soil we have used.
Similarly, after production responsibilities were assigned to households, in less than six years, half of the land in our village was abandoned because of the brick and tile factory.
We are all children of farmers. These people in our village have no skills. What else can we do besides farming?
For our village and the entire county, my brick and tile factory has indeed made the villagers rich, but in hindsight, this matter is beneficial to us, but it may not be beneficial to others."
Li Jingming also felt that he was thinking too much.
He closed his eyes and what he was thinking about was, what would Su Han and Anping do if they encountered this problem?
Based on his understanding of Su Han and Anping, Li Jingming thought that they would not close down, but would only cooperate to move places.
Because they are businessmen.
Li Jingming asked himself again, what is he?
Small bosses are only interested in profit, while businessmen are focused on the overall situation.
Li Jingming thought that the reason why he was unsuccessful in many aspects was that he did not have a complete positioning for himself in his heart, right?
Li Jingcheng said: "Brother, people's hearts are greedy.
If you want to help everyone, you are destined to lose something.
Brother, only if you stand at the pinnacle of power and wealth can you truly help everyone."
Li Jingcheng's words made Li Jingming's mind heat up.
He almost forgot what his original purpose was when he opened this brick and tile factory.
Not for money?
Now that he has money, he feels that he can help others.
In fact, he thought wrong. It was because he had made money from this factory that he could no longer make decisions by himself.
Li Jingming suddenly asked as if he was crazy: "Jingcheng, do you think I got it wrong?"
Li Jingcheng said: "Brother, think about what happened 80 years ago.
At that time, your leg was injured in the factory. Because you were just a small worker, the factory only compensated you a few hundred yuan.
Just because I was getting married at that time and Jingxuan was still going to school, you didn't choose to treat your legs.
Do you think Jingxuan and I don’t know that your parents have discussed treating your leg, but a few hundred yuan is simply not enough.
Later, your parents had no choice but to treat your leg and marry your sister-in-law.
At that time, my parents thought, since the money to treat your leg is not enough, they might as well marry us two, and let Jingxuan go to school, which would at least help the family tide over the difficulties.
Jing Xuan may not have thought of going here, but I always remember the bitterness of those days.
So brother, I hope you always have some edge in your kindness.
You are rich now, but what about in the future?
I haven't said these things to you because I think you think right and do the right thing.
But when I saw the ugly appearance of the villagers in the past few days, I felt that it was useless and not worth it.
They will just think that you have made enough money and want to turn around and leave the village.
So brother, don’t close down and make money.
I believe you will make a well-informed decision."
Xu Chengye secretly glanced at Li Jingcheng through the rearview mirror, and secretly sighed in his heart: "As expected, neither of these two brothers is weak, and they are very sensible in doing things.
That is, Li Jingming succeeds too easily, and this person easily becomes soft-hearted.
However, Li Jingcheng is different. He has been trained and his thinking is definitely somewhat different from Li Jingming's.
