What the hell is a private enterprise?

Chapter 46 Collective Fishery Company
In consideration of the order, the village chief harmonized the supermodel weapons, and the style of Dayuan Village returned to normal.

After visiting the Gaijin Shipyard, which was barely satisfactory, Yang Tai's impression of Tang Wen became "pretty good".

Needless to say, the Gaijin Shipyard at least has new equipment and the mental quality of its personnel is quite good, so it seems to have great potential for development.

Yang Tai sincerely feels that his goal of educating people has not been in vain as the small Dayuan Village has produced an ambitious entrepreneur.

Yang Tai waved his hand and decided to find a way to apply for a few years of tax incentives for Gaijin Shipyard, as a strong support for township enterprises.

To express his gratitude, Tang Wen immediately and warmly invited the village chief to stay for dinner.

Yang Tai originally thought that in this remote place, at most they could just eat in the cafeteria, and since it wasn't excessive, he agreed.

As a result, when the buffet from the Grand Bay Harbor Hotel was served, both he and the village chief were truly eye-opening.

Not to mention eating it, I have never even seen such complicated dishes and exquisite presentation.

Although many seafood can be caught locally, it is not easy to cook them well.

A large number of things were displayed, including "Lancai oysters", steamed Dalian abalone, cheese-baked Boston lobster, freshly roasted Australian baby bluefin prawns, flower crabs, mussels, etc., plus a variety of desserts that you can't even see in a bakery, which almost scared the village chief away.

Yang Tai even took a half step back and said to Tang Wen:

"I'm old now, please don't let me make mistakes."

"What's wrong? It's just some local specialties. We have them every meal at the shipyard... and every week we have improved meals. It's simply because our chefs are so good."

“This is almost better than a big hotel!”

Yang Tai thought that the shipyard was probably focusing its main attention on food, but he still decided to give it a try.

It was also Chen Yonggui's first time to have dinner at the shipyard, and he almost popped his eyes out when he saw the specifications.

It's not like he hasn't eaten lobsters, sea cucumbers, etc., but at most they are just steamed or stewed in soup, and there is no way they can be cooked in so many different ways.

The two of them transformed into gluttons and devoured everything in a whirlwind, even more ferocious than the Huang brothers who came at noon.

Finally, Yang Tai also got on the car with several boxes of cakes in his hands, and Chen Yonggui was no less impressive with half a bag full.

After sending the village head off, Chen Yonggui wanted to criticize Tang Wen, but when he remembered that he was still holding some snacks, he said politely:

"Xiao Tang, people have three kinds of anger. When it comes to eating, just enough to fill your stomach is enough. Being too extravagant is not good either."

"..."

Tang Wen didn't want to answer this question. In fact, he also felt it was a bit wasteful. It was just that the silver coins spent at the port were fixed. It would be a waste to throw away the food if it was not eaten completely.

Ignoring this question, Tang Wen thought of what happened during the day and said with a dry cough:

"Uncle Yonggui, about letting people from the village come to work in the shipyard... I actually have a new proposal."

In fact, Chen Yonggui had always been somewhat dissatisfied with the fact that Gaijin Shipyard "secretly" recruited more than 20 workers from other places but did not recruit local villagers.

He said it during the day just to warn Tang Wen, and when he saw the latter suddenly mention it, he frowned slightly.

It’s not that he wants to force people into the shipyard, but if there are no people from his own village, it will not be so convenient to do things in the shipyard in the village in the future.

It's simply human nature; businesses must integrate into the local community.

But 50 people was indeed too many. He just said it casually, and thought that he had scared Tang Wen, so he immediately wanted to explain:

"Actually, that's not what I meant, it's just..."

"Uncle, I was wondering if we could open a fishing company in our village?"

"Eh?"

The sudden U-turn caught Chen Yonggui off guard, but he quickly mixed in Tang Wen's words and said:

"Opening a fishing company? I've had this idea for seven or eight years. I heard that several villages below us have also set up companies with the entire village as a whole, so that they can go out to sea. It's more convenient to purchase and sell together than to sell alone. However, there are many people in Dawan Village, but everyone is poor. I estimate that even if I can persuade everyone to contribute a few hundred thousand yuan, and including the credit union loan, it will be at most 700,000 or 800,000 yuan.

But the purpose of establishing a fishing company is to go fishing in the open sea together. A large boat like that wouldn't cost at least one or two million, and a second-hand one wouldn't be enough."

Unlike the inland areas, coastal areas have always relied on the sea for their livelihood.

Compared with the household distribution system, many smart places have organized private fishing companies after the spring breeze.

The whole village pooled money and contributed manpower to set up a collective enterprise, and instead of going out to sea individually, they now operated as a collective fishing company.

The advantage of this is that it avoids the previous situation where everyone is fishing near the coast and fighting over fishing areas, and it also allows for large shipments to negotiate prices with purchasing companies and sell at a good price.

Moreover, if we gather enough money and manpower, we can also purchase large fishing boats to go fishing in the resource-rich open sea.

Chen Yonggui was a very smart man, but the villagers were poor, otherwise they would not have been able to build even a basic cement road.

However, Tang Wen's next words did give him hope:

“Uncle, shipbuilding requires professional workers, and many people left in the village may not be suitable for it.

It is precisely their advantage to go overseas, and they must all be good at it.

Why not set up a fishing company in the village and have Gaijin Shipyard provide a boat as a share? If there's a profit, everyone will share. If there's a loss, the boat can be sold, and the shipyard won't lose money."

Wow, this suggestion is very constructive!

Chen Yonggui's eyes immediately lit up and he saw the huge feasibility.

Buying a boat is expensive, but there is a shipyard in the village now!

Tang Wen provided the boat and the villagers provided the labor, which was simply the best of both worlds.

Many villagers are not well educated, but when it comes to going out to sea, they are really not afraid of anyone. They are all people who fight the sea for their lives with their ruthlessness. Those who can get off the boat standing are all experts.

It can be said that as long as there is a ship, Chen Yonggui has absolute confidence in leading everyone to make money.

Although he was very moved, Chen Yonggui still said:

"The cost of a single ship is not low, and this is almost like our village taking advantage of the factory. This is a bit..."

If you think it’s inappropriate, I have another solution:

The fishing company cannot not spend a penny. Things like trawl nets, fish finders, satellite navigation, satellite intercoms, and radars that the shipyard cannot produce have to be purchased by the fishing company.

The remaining hull was also purchased by the fishing company. If you cannot pay the full amount, you can take it away with 0 down payment and pay it off in two years. How about an interest rate of 5 percentage points?
If you can't pay it back, we won't take the boat back. How about converting your investment into shares?"

As soon as Tang Wen finished speaking, Chen Yonggui nodded vigorously:
“The second method is good. If you buy shares, many people won’t be grateful. You should use loans to make everyone realize the importance of hard work.

Moreover, brothers should settle accounts clearly and pay interest, otherwise it will be difficult to explain in the future."

Tang Wen now looked even cuter in the eyes of the village chief. He shook Tang Wen's hand and said seriously:

"Xiao Tang, only if this thing can be accomplished can the village truly develop. On behalf of the entire village, I thank you.

I will organize the village to buy things like navigation and satellite phones, and you just need to build a blank hull.

We don’t have high requirements, we just want something that meets the basic requirements, 300-400 tons is enough.”

Three or four hundred tons?

Tang Wen thought that such a small shipyard could not build it, but he nodded.

"Just wait, uncle. If the fishing company is sure it can be done, we can build it quickly."
