Chapter 442: Interests Bundled
After the Xie family's steward left the Zhou family, he reported the result, "Zhou Jing is ignorant of promotion and refused our Xie family's recruitment."
"It doesn't matter." It doesn't matter if he doesn't work now. As long as he is in the South, he will bow his head sooner or later.
"Recently, he went to the government office to ask about the pass. He may leave the South in the near future."
"Don't worry about him. If he wants to leave, he can leave alone. As long as his mother is still in the South, he doesn't need to worry about him unless his whole family moves." The head of the family has no time to care about them now.
Pingzhou, Liaoxi County
Xian Feng and his two men are back, and they brought back four young clansmen.
Xue Xu couldn't help but ask about the recent situation of the Li clan members.
When narrating, Xian Feng's voice was low and his mood was not high.
When Xue Xu heard that the lives of the tribe members had not changed much after they left, and the two boxes of things they brought back were still the tribe's emergency supplies, he couldn't help but sigh, "The Li people are really too poor."
Xian Feng also nodded, "Yes, the tribe members have no way to make money, and the mountain products they picked are not worth selling."
"Second uncle, can we ask Madam Qin Liu and ask her for advice to find a way for our Li people to make money." After he came to Liaodong County, he found that it was easy for the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce to make money. No, it should be said that Madam Qin Liu made money easily.
Xue Xu also stroked his beard and thought about the feasibility.
Just then, someone from the government came to give him this month's salary, and his housekeeper was greeting him.
In addition to the salary silver and rice, his salary also included some cloth and other daily necessities.
Because of the booming development of Liaodong County and the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce's special ability to make money, the salaries of these officials were all paid in full, and they would receive an additional material subsidy every month. For example, this month's extra soap, shower gel, shampoo, oil and salt, and toilet paper, etc.
Wait, toilet paper? "Got it!"
"Second uncle, what's wrong with you?"
"I thought of arranging a livelihood for our clan! I'll go to find Madam Qin Liu, you wait for my good news." Xue Xu hurried out.
"Then how do they arrange it?" Xian Feng pointed at the four young men they brought out and squeezed together.
"If you want to join the army, join the army. If you can't, join the business. If you can't, go to the workshop to work! But one thing is that you have to learn to read for me!" Xue Xu's voice came from afar.
Xue Xu found Lu Songli and told her his idea immediately.
"Madam Qin Liu, can I use my contribution points to exchange for the production method of this toilet paper?"
He knew that Madam Qin Liu had a notebook in her hand, which secretly recorded the major contributions made by the members of the Qin Lu Group. For example, he and Liu Ye led the team to the south of Nandi last year, and they had contribution points.
He said this to avoid making things difficult for her.
"Are you sure you want to exchange this?" Lv Songli was silent just now, just thinking, is there anything more suitable for the livelihood of the Li people than toilet paper?
Xue Xu said very confidently, "This is it, this is simple, and it is also suitable for our Li people to make." It's not that he is self-deprecating, this is the fact, it's too complicated, and they, the Li people, can't do it.
Lv Songli thinks that because it is simple, the technical barriers are not high. You must know that in addition to the Liaodong Paper Mill, there are four other papermaking companies in Dali. This toilet paper master can tell what's going on at a glance. And it can't be sold at a high price.
Xue Xu didn't dislike it at all. Toilet paper is cheap and can't be sold at a high price, but the shipment volume is large. Now in Pingzhou, except for very poor families who still use toilet chips, most families use toilet paper. He has seen the bill, and the income from toilet paper alone is not small.
In response to her concerns, Xue Xu said, "We Li people are not without advantages. First of all, it is very easy for us to obtain raw materials."
"Their Li tribe is surrounded by mountains, and there are a lot of bamboos in the mountains, so the cost is almost zero. In addition, we Li people are very hardworking." Xue Xu listed their advantages one by one. Under the influence of his surroundings, he also knows some business terms.
Lu Songli was helpless, "Who among the common people these days is not hardworking?" From ancient times to the present, their Chinese family is the most hardworking nation in the world.
"We Li people are particularly hardworking." Xue Xu emphasized.
"I'm just worried that this business will not last long."
Xue Xu was very happy. Hearing this, he said indifferently, "What business can last long? At worst, when this business can't be done, we can find another way." First make some money and improve the basic lives of the tribesmen.
"Okay, since you have made up your mind, I will give you a warrant. Go to the paper mill to find my elder brother Lu Zhiyuan and let him take you to visit the manufacturing process." At the end, Lu Songli reminded him, "This should be done as soon as possible. After learning, arrange people to go back and do it." If a war breaks out at the end of the year, business will be difficult to do.
On this day, Lu Songli was talking to Lin Shanlin, the deputy leader of the Cao Gang.
Now the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce is a big customer of the Cao Gang. Lu Songli, the president of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce and the daughter of the governor of Pingzhou, has an appointment. As the deputy leader of the Cao Gang, Lin Shan has to pay attention.
Lu Songli is trying to persuade the Cao Gang to invest in Pingzhou at this time.
"The purchasing power of our Pingzhou people is still good, and there are many new and good things in our Liaodong County. You Cao Gang have ships, so you can eat both ends."
She is trying her best to win over the Cao Gang on board. Only by binding interests is the best way to form an alliance.
Lin Shan was already tempted. After all, he had witnessed with his own eyes the transformation of Liaodong County from nothing to something. He believed that Pingzhou would also become more prosperous under the governance of Lu Desheng and other original team members.
But he couldn't make the decision on the Cao Gang's investment in Pingzhou alone.
"Personal investment is also possible." Lu Songli reminded implicitly.
Lin Shan's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"Excuse me, if you open a few stores in Pingzhou and bring some goods, you can make a lot of money."
"We are old friends. If you invest in Pingzhou, you will definitely get discounts." Lu Songli said with a smile, "So, tomorrow Ji Daxiu will come to select a site to build a commercial building. Why don't you come with him?"
"Okay." Lin Shan agreed happily. He also knew that President Lu's suggestion was really conscientious and for his own good.
"Then you can stay in Changli Restaurant tonight."
Lu Songli personally sent the person out, and then called a subordinate to accompany him to Changli Restaurant.
After sending the person away, Lu Songli poured herself a cup of tea, thinking that when Lin Shan's investment was confirmed, she would ask him to buy some old boats from the Cao Gang.
