Chapter 614: Commencement Ceremony
Huangtuao.
There have always been hundreds of people coming to the barren mountains, but today there are hundreds of people gathered.
In the middle of the crowd, a temporary platform was set up, with Chen Baozhong, Wang Changgui, Li Shaoan and Wang Xiangxiu standing on it.
Today is the date of completion of the Tieshanwan Canal and the official start of the Huangtuao project. All those with great prominence in the village attended the event.
Huangtuao is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and several steep peaks surround this rare mountain ground in the middle, forming a natural barrier.
The road leading to the outside of Huangtuao is only one side, a weedy path connecting to the main road in the village.
For today's construction ceremony, the road has been released in advance, and the road surface has been widened except for the weeds.
The total investment of the Huangtuao land reclamation project is expected to be 15,000 yuan. The project is divided into three phases. The start-up payment for the first phase has been in place.
Among them are 2,000 yuan invested by Zhao Xuemei and 10 million yuan invested by Tieshanwan Village Committee.
On the stage, several people were smiling and proud.
Chen Baozhong and Wang Changgui spoke on behalf of the village party secretary and village chief respectively.
In his words, he was full of infinite expectations for the Huangtuao land reclamation project, and he said bluntly that this was the pride of Tieshan Bay.
"Shao'an, you can say a few words to everyone."
Wang Changgui handed the horn in his hand to Li Shaoan, and his eyes were full of appreciation and expectation.
This is not the first time that Li Shaoan has spoken in front of so many people, but this time it is more nervous than before, because behind him is Huangtuao, a place that carries infinite hope for the future.
When he returned to Tieshan Bay, Li Shaoan actually had no bottom in his heart. No one had ever walked this road before him. In front of him was a river that could not see the bottom. He could only flow forward step by step and cross the river by feeling the stones.
Even he himself did not expect that this situation would be possible in a year.
"Friends, I, Mr. Li, feel honored to be able to stand here and talk to everyone."
"Actually, there is not much to say. The only thing I want to say is to thank the villagers for their support."
"If we all think about it together and work hard, we will definitely be able to build Huangtuao, become a well-known vegetable planting base, and become the pride that everyone talks about in Tieshan Bay!"
As soon as I finished speaking, I remembered warm applause.
Li Shaoan handed the horn to Wang Xiangxiu. Wang Xiangxiu cleared her throat, picked up the iron horn, and began to introduce the specific matters of the Huangtuao project to the people below.
"The Huangtuao project is expected to take six months to build a construction period, requiring tens of thousands of workers. After it is put into use, it will recruit 20 to 30 formal workers from the village..."
If Li Shaoan is talking about spiritual things, then what Wang Xiangxiu is talking about is the most practical things, which are related to the actual income of the villagers.
When Wang Xiangxiu finished introducing the general situation of the project to the villagers, thunderous applause rang out from the audience, and each villager had a happy smile on his face.
The speech ended, and the start-up ceremony was followed.
The ceremony was very simple. A pit was dug in advance at the entrance of the Loess, and next to it was a stone tablet engraved with the "Loesss Planting Base".
First, a few laborers carried stone tablets and erected them in the pit, and then Li Shaoan and Wang Xiangxiu held a shovel together and filled a shovel into the pit.
A circle of firecrackers had been set up in front of the stone tablet, and the person responsible for setting off the firecrackers lit the firecrackers. There was a burst of crackling sound, and the scene was very lively.
Leaving from the construction site, Li Shaoan and Wang Xiangxiu walked one after another along the path.
Wang Xiangxiu walked in front, and Li Shaoan broke the back behind.
From the struggle between the two when they returned to the village to the resolution of the conflict, and then to the establishment of an agricultural company together, they have experienced so many things and have begun to have a tacit understanding.
"The first phase of the project payment has been in place, and there is still a gap of 12,000 to 10,000 next. What are your plans?"
Without anyone around, Wang Xiangxiu talked about the issue of funds. For the two companies, they must not only ensure the normal operation of the company, but also have funds to invest in the Huangtuao project. This is undoubtedly a difficult problem that tests the operation level.
Li Shaoan was also thinking about the same problem. As the co-owner of the company, the two were basically thinking about the same problem.
"My idea is to continue to issue stocks. At this stage of our initial stage, relying on the profitability of the planting base, it is a relatively long process to accumulate enough funds. Issuing stocks undoubtedly the best way."
"Then how many equity we will sell next?"
"Three percent, each of us is one and a half."
"I'm fine, how much do you plan to sell?"
"Six thousand!"
Wang Xiangxiu was very surprised. She didn't expect that Li Shaoan would make such a bold statement. The last time she offered a stock, five percent of the shares was converted to five thousand yuan. In just a blink of an eye, three percent of the shares had already been called to six thousand yuan, which was doubled.
"Are you serious?" Wang Xiangxiu was incredible.
"Do you think I'm joking?" Li Shaoan asked back.
"But...will this be too expensive? I'm afraid no one is willing to invest."
"What do you think of the prospects for our planting base in the next ten years?"
Wang Xiangxiu was full of pride: "That's all right, of course no one can compare to it."
Li Shaoan smiled and said with a hearty smile: "Isn't this going to end? We are now the original stock, and we are priceless in the future. Now we invest and invest, we will definitely get a big advantage."
Wang Xiangxiu suddenly turned around and looked at Li Shaoan, but she didn't say anything.
Li Shaoan was not very natural to see and said embarrassedly: "What is this? Do I have any words on my face?"
Wang Xiangxiu laughed and said, "Yes, there are two words like this, don't you write it? You deserve a beating!"
Li Shaoan was confused: "I deserve a beating? Xiangxiu, when did I offend you again?"
"I didn't offend me, I just didn't accept it. Why didn't I think of a way to start a stock?"
"If it weren't for your proposal, how could we start the Huangtuao project so quickly? According to my own plan, relying on the greenhouses we have in our existing ones, it will take at least one and a half years before there is enough funds to start construction."
"Just because of this, I thought I had offended you some more."
"I'm also thinking about it and fiddling out this method. Now the construction of the Huangtuao base has started. This year is a crucial year for our company. If we can build the Huangtuao smoothly, then our planting base will be ahead and leave others far behind."
Wang Xiangxiu looked at Li Shaoan with satisfaction and said, "I think I should listen to you more about the matters in the future and let you make an idea."
Li Shaoan rarely looked proud: "I can't believe that this sentence will actually be said from your Wang Xiangxiu."
Wang Xiangxiu raised her eyebrows and pretended to be serious: "What's wrong? Are you biased against me?"
Li Shaoan hurriedly said, "How dare I? I will thank God if you don't cause trouble for me. Besides, you will be the wife of the village party secretary in our village in the future. Who dares not accept you?"
Wang Xiangxiu's cheeks flushed and she cursed: "Do you hate me?"
Li Shaoan laughed and said, "What are you doing? I'm so shy. I'm still waiting to drink your wedding banquet with Baozhong."
Wang Xiangxiu bent down and sprained a vine from the grass, pointed at Li Shaoan and shouted: "I think you are itchy and need to be cleaned up!"
"Xiangxiu, I remember that there is something else at home, so let's go first!" Li Shaoan saw that Wang Xiangxiu was both ashamed and angry, and he was about to start a beating when he caught someone. He immediately applied oil to the soles of his feet and escaped.
"Stop, stop for me!"
Chapter completed!
