1968: Started from breeding

Chapter 17 You are the Party Secretary, we all listen to you!
Su Wenchen's eyes lit up, because he saw another opportunity in it.

Come out and talk.

"The brigade is in financial difficulty right now. I understand that we can pay for the initial capital of the chicken farm ourselves, but you can't let me advance the funds for nothing!"

"How about this? I'll pay for the first batch of chickens and lend them to the chicken farm. That's fine. After the chickens make money, they will belong to the farm, and I'll use the money to expand the farm."

"But when the chicken farm becomes rich, shouldn't they return the fifty chickens I bought to me?"

After hearing Su Wenchen's words, the others looked at each other.

According to common sense, the chicken must be returned to the owner, after all, someone has already lent the chicken to the chicken farm for free.

But fifty chickens for one person? Isn't this a bit contrary to the current policy?

No one dared to speak for a moment.

Su Wenchen didn't look at his father, he looked directly at Gao Zhongwei, because this matter was definitely a little bit borderline.

Therefore, we cannot let Su's father express his opinion, but Gao Zhongwei must express his opinion. In this way, even if an accident occurs in the future, the blame will be firmly placed on Gao Zhongwei, the person with the highest position on the scene.

Su Wenchen's thoughts raced as he spoke aloud.

"Secretary Gao, what do you think of my idea just now? Oh, Secretary Gao said earlier that my family would also take the initiative to contribute money to build a chicken farm for the brigade, right?"

"This is a good thing. The more industries our brigade has, the better. This way, the members' work points will be more valuable."

"But for this scale, our brigade also needs to discuss it in advance. We can't just take out two chickens and say it's a chicken farm. If we do that, when we go out and tell others about it, they will think our Pingcun brigade is just playing house!"

"It's fine if you want to build a chicken farm, but the scale cannot be less than fifty chickens! What do you think?"

After hearing Su Wenchen's words, most of the people present nodded.

"I think what Xiaochen said is right. How can it be called a chicken farm if the number is too small? All of our members have more than two chickens at home!"

"In my opinion, fifty is too few. There should be at least a hundred!"

"Haha, you don't spend any money yourself, but you just take advantage of the Party Secretary and the Captain's family, right?"

"Old Gao, you took the initiative to say that you would spend your own money to build a chicken farm for the brigade. You can't go back on your word now!"

"I~!" Gao Zhongwei almost vomited blood!
He just wanted to set a trap for Su Jianye, but he didn't expect that he would fall into it himself.

Now, Su Wenchen's casual words would cause him to lose an extra two hundred coins. Gao Zhongwei wished he could strangle everyone present to death on the spot.

You guys don't even have any money to contribute, you just follow suit and make trouble!

Two hundred dollars.

This was all he had left. No, he couldn't pay this! He had to find a way to refuse this.

Su Wenchen saw that Gao Zhongwei wanted to refuse, but he would definitely not let him have his way.

Originally, he was using the brigade's money to handle the brigade's affairs, but you just like to make trouble. In that case, then don't think of staying out of it.

He spoke first.

"Everyone, please don't slander the Party Secretary. How could our Party Secretary go back on his word?"

"If the brigade's secretary talks as if he were talking nonsense and goes back on his word at any time, do you think the public will agree with this? Maybe they will just kick him off!"

After Gao Zhongwei heard what Su Wenchen said, his back teeth were almost broken.

Originally, he thought that at most he could save face and take back what he had said before, but after hearing what Su Wenchen said, he didn't dare to say anything. If he was really taken down directly, he would suffer a great loss.

You can save money again when you lose it, but if you lose your position, it’s really gone!
Without the identity of branch secretary, not only did he lose the extra work points subsidy, but he would not even have the opportunity to be lazy at work.

Now he only has three options.

The first option is to go back on your word and not build the chicken farm, saving the two hundred dollars, but the price is the possibility of losing the location.

The second way is to pay money and agree with what Su Wenchen said before. After making money, the team will return the chickens to them. The price is that it may skirt the policy.

The third option was to perish together, and the two hundred dollars would be wasted. An idea told him that he should choose the third option. It was only two hundred dollars, right? Just treat it as a donation. This was the safest way and nothing would happen.

But another idea is that they should choose the second path. It was they who paid for the brigade to build the chicken farm, so it is only right for the brigade to return the chickens to them. It does not violate the policy.

I struggled for a long time.

Gao Zhongwei looked at Su's father.

"Lao Su, what do you think of your son's opinion just now?"

"Hmm!" Su Jianye seemed to have just woken up from a dream.

"What did you just say? I seemed to be distracted just now, and I didn't hear what you said clearly!"

Gao Zhongwei gritted his teeth and repeated what Su Wenchen had said before.

Father Su nodded, but he was not fooled at all, "You are the branch secretary, I will listen to you on this matter, just make the decision!"

When Gao Zhongwei heard this, he was so choked that he had a heart attack.

Damn it, you're starting to be humble now?

Why didn't you listen to me before? Now you start to listen to me when it comes to these unclear issues.

After hesitating for a long time, Gao Zhongwei finally couldn't bear to part with the two hundred dollars.

"Since Comrade Su Wenchen lent the chickens to the brigade for free, I think it's only right to return the chickens to them after we make some money. However, due to policy reasons, I can't raise too many chickens, so I think it would be better to convert the chickens into money when the time comes!"

"We can just give you some extra compensation based on the egg-laying time of the hens. Do you have any objections?"

Gao Zhongwei certainly did this not for Su Wenchen, but for himself.

He also has to invest two hundred yuan to build a chicken farm, and he will naturally receive additional compensation at that time. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of risk if there is no benefit at all?
However, he was still extremely unhappy because Su Wenchen also benefited from it!

The people around looked at each other and said, "Secretary, you have made the decision, and we will all listen to you!"

After listening to what others said.

Gao Zhongwei didn't look happy at all. What a bunch of bastards! They all listened to me at this time. Why didn't they listen to me at the beginning? Otherwise, would things have developed to this point?

After Gao Zhongwei finished speaking, Su Wenchen secretly calculated that although the income from paying money is not as high as that from paying chickens, the advantage is that the risk is low.

If you really raise fifty chickens, you will have to take risks yourself.

There is almost no risk now because the main risks are borne by Secretary Gao.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

Lao Gao is a good man, he burns himself to light up others!

The meeting dispersed.

Everyone left one after another.

Gao Zhongwei sat alone in the brigade headquarters, occasionally stretching out his right hand and slapping his mouth.

"You never learn your lesson. I have fought with Su Jianye so many times, but I have never gained an advantage."

"It's okay now!"

"Not only did I lose two hundred dollars, but I almost lost my job."

Besides, what should I say when I get back? When I think of my stingy wife, if she knew that I took the initiative to give 200 yuan to the brigade to build an industry, she would be very upset.

At that time, he was only thinking about setting a trap for Su Jianye, but he ended up falling into it without realizing it.

Now he regrets it very much. If he could do it again, he would definitely not be so impulsive!

Impulse is the devil!
