Chapter 306: A Solid Way Out(1/2)
In the evening, Lao Fang's family will set up two tables again, which is a long-established habit.
Lin Feng and Fang Zhengguo had already prepared for this, and their uncles and neighbors also had this expectation.
"When did Fang Nian learn to drive?"
"It must be better than Third Brother's driving."
"Of course, young people learn things quickly."
"In the future, I'll call Ha Bao, my second son, to learn how to get a driver's license."
"..."
Yes, even Fang Nian never expected that his uncle's neighbors would be far more interested in the fact that he could drive than the old Fang family in buying a car.
So, Fang Nian had no choice but to laugh and cope with everyone's curiosity.
"I learned it while working during the summer vacation. The driving school happened to have a discount for students learning to drive. It cost more than 2,000 yuan to pass the exam, which is cheaper than Tongfeng."
Fang Junhua chirped: "Testing for a driver's license is such a waste of time. People like us who work part-time can't spare the time."
"That's not necessarily true. I have time on weekends." Fang Fenfen interjected.
Fang Junhua curled his lips: "How long will it take? I don't have the patience anyway."
"..."
Maoba is not a big city and there are not many young people. Fang Nian not only became the first college student in ten years.
He became the first person in ten years to have a driver's license.
This includes three generations, old, middle and young.
Even Fang Zhengguo got his driver's license later than Fang did in the previous year.
For rural areas, if they don't drive to make a living, no one will spend money to get a driver's license, so the driver's license holding rate is very low.
It will take at least a few years before there is a surge.
While chatting, everyone started making noises. One by one, the middle-aged people got into the driver's seat and even started the ignition, but no one stepped on the accelerator.
Finally the topic came back again.
"Sister-in-law, how much did you pay for this car?"
“It’s still worth tens of thousands, right?”
"..."
Fang Nian answered the question before Lin Feng could speak: "Just an ordinary Santana, with all the procedures completed, it cost over 70,000 yuan."
"It's so cheap! Why don't your family buy something better, like that BMW and Mercedes-Benz!" Fang Junhua immediately took over.
Fang Fenfen was also very surprised: "Yes, brother Nian, why didn't you buy a good car?"
"Yes, how could you buy such a cheap car?"
Seeing this, Fang Nian smiled broadly and smacked his lips and sighed: "I have no money. A BMW and Mercedes-Benz are more expensive than building a house. I think Santana is pretty good."
"Who wouldn't want to buy good ones if they were rich?"
Seeing Fang Nian 'talking and laughing', Lin Feng felt a little angry!
She now has at least thirteen disdains for this Poussin.
In Lin Feng's eyes, this car can only be described in one word: ugly.
However, both Fang Nian and Fang Zhengguo like it very much and think it looks tough.
Lin Feng was reluctantly convinced by Fang Nian because of the price.
As a result, when it came time to actually sign the purchase contract, Lin Feng suddenly discovered that Fang Nian had chosen the most expensive configuration of the same model, with a retail price of 12.28 and a landing price of more than 130,000.
She couldn't help but asked the salesperson and found out that it was more expensive than the Bora she was interested in!
Fang Nian used a bunch of excuses at that time:
"Manual transmission is more difficult to drive."
“Automatic transmission is more comfortable.”
"High-end features in a cheap car are much better than low-end features in an expensive car."
"Listen to me, you're right."
Anyway, it was Fang Nian who paid, but Lin Feng couldn't resist it in the end and had no choice but to accept it.
But now Fang Nian has to say it again and again deliberately.
Thinking about all this mess, Lin Feng became angry and secretly gouged Fang Zhengguo with his eyes several times!
Fang Zhengguo was busy puffing away his cigarette, chatting happily with the middle-aged people of the same age group, his face was full of joy, and he didn't pay attention to this at all.
Fang Nian saw it accidentally and prayed for Fang Zhengguo in his heart: "Take care."
…………
For the first time, the card table was not opened after dinner.
Everyone sat around the coffee table.
The three-sided ring-shaped modular sofa is large enough to seat a dozen people, and there are also single sofa chairs, so it is not crowded.
"College student, you have read the most and have the most knowledge. Please tell us what solutions we farmers can find in today's society."
Fang Junhua's father looked at Fang Nian from afar and started a serious matter.
After the words fell, the noise in the living room weakened a lot, and everyone was more concerned.
Then someone else spoke to him, and it was Fang Zhengbin: "It's really difficult to get paid for the New Year when I go out to build a shed. I still haven't received my wages today."
"It's because I didn't study much back then. I know nothing but digging coal in a mud shed." Fang Zhengliang also followed suit.
Although there were many people talking, it was not chaotic.
Fang Nian smiled and said thoughtfully: "This question is a bit difficult for me."
"I'm just going to tell you a few words. Uncle, uncle, brother, you can listen to me as you please."
The voice is neither high nor low, and the speaking speed is neither fast nor slow.
Fang Nian gathered his thoughts and said in a calm tone: "You should have heard some of the country's plans while walking outside this year. Some people call this the 'Four Trillion Plan', and the main funds are allocated to infrastructure projects."
"In my personal opinion, maybe in the past year or two, if we join forces to form a regular construction team, the market will be better."
Having said this, Fang Nian saw that everyone was silently muttering, so he said again.
“On the one hand, it takes time and energy to learn any technology now, and you may not be able to keep up with the development of the times;
On the other hand, for example, in Maoba, we jointly set up a formal construction team and signed a contract with a formal national company. This is guaranteed and the risk is not high.
Although it is still hard work, the harvest in all aspects may be higher."
“There is an old saying that goes well, there is strength in numbers, and when there are a lot of people, you can go out and speak with confidence.”
After Fang Nian finished speaking, Fang Zhengbin was the first to speak: "If we are a construction team, it is no different from making earthen sheds now, right?"
"Now I also call the acquaintances at the door of the house and do it together."
"..."
Fang Nian thought for a while and explained in a simpler way: "What I mean is, talk to people in a collective form."
"Don't engage in the current one-on-one fight, and have the right to speak. For example, where there is a shortage of people and how many people are missing, take the lead in negotiating, and then make collective distribution..."
"..."
Following the discussion, Fang Zhengbin and the others also understood what Fang Nian meant.
Partnership can lead to greater benefits.
Can turn passivity into initiative.
There can be lower risks.
There can be higher protection.
And when the time is right, you can choose to be affiliated with a construction company, or you can set up a small construction company yourself.
Fang Nian actually talked about it in detail, covering everything from short-term, medium-term and medium- to long-term.
Moreover, Fang Nian is not aimless. Construction teams based on villages are not uncommon in the market.
There are not a few people who do it step by step.
No matter how bad it is, if we just can't do it, it won't have much impact. It's just going back to the past, so we won't lose anything.
In short, when Fang Nian said this, he also included some of his own opinions:
One is: It is impossible to wait for pie to fall from the sky.
By the way, I also made a decision for Fang Zhengguo to set up a stall in Daping next year to try the water.
I just expressed 2 by the way.
