PDLP Chapter 122 Loan
Chapter 122 Loan
After returning from the farm, Gu Qingyu didn't have time to rest and immediately plunged into a new round of busy work.
Now, leaders of all sizes in the county have heard that Gu Qingyu is devoting all his efforts to the development of artificial mushroom cultivation.
There was no consensus on this, with some optimistic and others pessimistic. Gu Qingyu had no time to pay attention to these external voices and opinions.
For the past two days, Gu Qingyu had been making several trips to the credit union. The reason was simple: the previously mentioned interest-free loan had finally been approved after numerous meetings and discussions with county leaders.
The loan was approved, but the key was how to ensure that the funds were not misappropriated and could be truly invested in mushroom cultivation. After consulting with many people, Gu Qingyu finally made a decision.
The loan was not disbursed all at once to each village to avoid misappropriation. Instead, the loan was split into two parts: infrastructure construction costs and mushroom bag procurement costs.
The infrastructure costs are first distributed to each village to facilitate the construction of mushroom greenhouses. Once the greenhouses are completed and inspected by the inspectors, an acceptance certificate will be issued.
Each village goes to the mushroom factory with the acceptance form to exchange for a delivery note, and the mushroom bag factory then delivers the goods to each village.
The purchase costs of mushroom bags are directly allocated to the mushroom bag factory and are no longer at the discretion of each village.
This avoids the losses caused by some villages' lip service and also allows the mushroom bag factory to recover quickly, providing the necessary financial support for subsequent expansion of production.
Seeing that Gujia Village had reaped the first wave of benefits from mushroom cultivation, the village party secretaries of other villages, who had been eager to get involved, came to apply for loans early on the first day the loan policy was officially announced.
Hongqi Commune Credit Union.
President Zhou Jianbo had just arrived at his office and sat down early in the morning. Before he had time to drink a sip of water, he saw Xiao Xu, a salesperson, rushing in. "Mr. Zhou, something bad has happened!"
"What's the matter?" Zhou Jianbo was frightened by Xiao Xu's shout and choked on a mouthful of water.
"Cough! Cough cough cough!" Xiao Xu knew that he had choked the president with his shout, so he hurried forward and patted Zhou Jianbo on the back.
After finally calming down, Zhou Jianbo said helplessly to Xiao Xu, "Can you please not be so startled next time?"
"I'm sorry, Zhou Xing!" Xiao Xu lowered his head and admitted his mistake.
"Okay, okay! It's not a big problem. Just be careful next time." Zhou Jianbo said while tapping the other person's forehead.
"What's going on?"
"Oh! So, Zhou Xing, our counter team was just about to open for business, but we found that the outside was full of people. Could it be that someone is blocking the door?"
When Xiao Xu saw Zhou Jianbo asking questions, he hurriedly began to explain.
"What? Blocking the door?" Zhou Jianbo exclaimed.
"Move aside, let me see what's going on." As Xiao Xu said that, he saw Zhou Jianbo walk past him, lying at the door with his ears perked up and eavesdropping.
"Old Qian, it's almost time, why isn't the credit union open yet?"
"It's not time yet, why are you in such a hurry? Why don't you check if you have all the documents with you?"
"Hahaha, I checked three or four times before coming here. I was afraid I might make mistakes if I didn't bring everything, and then I wouldn't be able to explain it to the villagers."
"That's right, everyone in the village is looking forward to it! The people in Gujia Village who planted mushrooms have already eaten the meat, so we have to hurry up and follow behind to have a drink of soup."
Zhou Jianbo immediately realized what was going on after hearing this. He gave Xiao Xu a cold look and quickly opened the door of the credit union to start business.
It was early in the morning, and Xiao Xu almost gave him a heart attack!
Thinking about the document issued at the county meeting yesterday, the people listed above were all here to apply for mushroom greenhouse loan business.
Creak! Creak! The panels of the credit union were removed piece by piece. The people waiting outside suddenly became quiet, and all their eyes turned to the credit union.
Suddenly being stared at by so many people, Zhou Jianbo suddenly stopped removing the door panel.
Too scary!
After calming down, Zhou Jianbo finally removed the last door panel.
Rush!
Lao Qian reacted and was the first to rush in without waiting for others to react.
Wow, Lao Qian's action made the stunned people around him come to their senses, and everyone rushed to the credit union.
If someone who didn’t know the situation saw this, they would think a robbery had occurred at the credit union!
The first to be hit were Zhou Jianbo and Xiao Xu. The two were pushed into the corner by the crowd that rushed in, and Xiao Xu's eyes were even squeezed out.
"Hello, I'm here to apply for a loan!"
"I'm here to apply for a loan, too. Can you give it to me first?"
"Let me do it first! I was here first!"
For a moment, the small counter was crowded with people holding documents and asking for loans, which confused the tellers inside.
"Everyone, stop pushing and listen to me first!" the teller shouted loudly inside.
"I'm not the one who can get you a loan. You have to go to President Zhou to get one!"
The crowd suddenly fell silent, and those gathered in front of the counter were stunned when they heard this. "Then where is your President Zhou?"
"I'm here!" Zhou Jianbo, whose clothes were squeezed crookedly, raised his hands and said weakly
Everyone turned around and saw Zhou Jianbo and the other man squeezed into the corner, looking very embarrassed. They could not help but touch their noses in embarrassment and were too embarrassed to surround them.
"Line up first, come one by one!" Outside Zhou Jianbo's office, Xiao Xu was arranged to stay here to maintain order.
Because there were too many applicants, Zhou Jianbo called the credit union's old accountant to review the materials together. It took a whole day to finally finish.
With financial support, the construction of mushroom greenhouses in various villages has accelerated. Some villages that have completed the inspection have already received mushroom bags from the mushroom bag factory and officially started planting.
Everything was going in a good direction, and Gu Qingyu also focused his work on expanding sales channels.
At the county party committee meeting, Gu Qingyu proposed that Hongqi Commune set up a mushroom deep-processing factory to purchase fresh mushrooms and process them into dried products for sale.
This proposal was agreed upon by the majority of the participants, and thus in May 1969, the Hongqi Commune Fresh Mushroom Food Processing Factory was officially established.
The small workshop in Gujia Village was also officially incorporated, and Gu Yousheng, Gu Erqiang and others are now official employees of the fresh mushroom food factory.
Just ask the people in the villages surrounding Gujia Village, who doesn’t envy these people’s good luck?
All of a sudden, there are so many more people in Gujia Village who eat commercial grain. This further proves that there is great potential in artificial mushroom cultivation, and everyone is becoming more and more interested in mushroom greenhouses.
In the past two months, Gu Yousheng, Gu Erqiang and their colleagues carried mushroom samples to all the major supply and marketing cooperatives in Jiang Province and successfully won contracts from several of them.
As mushrooms come on the market in large quantities, batches of dried mushrooms are bagged and sealed in boxes and transported to major supply and marketing cooperatives.
This Dragon Boat Festival, mushrooms processed by their Hongqi Fresh Mushroom Food Factory appeared on the dining tables of many families in Jiangxi Province.
