8. Public and private

As soon as Mu Qingsen returned home, he took the money and went to the village committee to find village accountant Li Jianming.

"Accountant Li, I'm here to pay the contract fee for the FRP factory."

"Okay." Li Jianming took the money and counted it by two thousand, and said, "The contract fee is one hundred thousand for two years, so why is it two thousand more?"

Mu Qingsen said with a smile: "I paid it late and wasted money for the village. These two thousand are used as compensation to the village. We can't let the collective suffer in our work, don't you think so?"

Li Jianming smiled and said: "As expected of a boss, he is reasonable in everything he says and does. The money has been recorded. I will report to Min Qiang when I see him."

"You told Minqiang that the factory had so many things to do that you didn't pay the contract fees in time, and you apologized."

"I will."

Li Jianming temporarily locked the money in the cabinet and planned to hand it over to the cashier later.

Just as Mu Qingsen was about to turn around and leave, Li Minqiang came in.

"Uncle Qingsen, I was just looking for you."

"You have something to do with me?" Mu Qingsen pretended to be confused.

"Ah." He turned to accountant Li Jianming and said, "Go find Yulin and ask him to come to the village committee."

Li Jianming went to find Xiao Yulin, and Li Minqiang took Mu Qingsen to his office.

When Mu Qingsen came to the office, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. This used to be the place where his eldest brother stayed. When he was in office, he opened the door and walked in. Now that the people here have been replaced, he couldn't help but feel a sense of loss and a feeling of hatred towards Li Minqiang.

Jealousy. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Min Qiang. He smiled and said, "Come and smoke one."

Li Minqiang took the cigarette and said with a smile: "Okay, let me have a cigarette, boss." He took the cigarette and looked at it and said, "Hey, it's from Yuxi! Your cigarette is much stronger than mine."

"Just show off when you go out to do errands."

Li Minqiang looked at Mu Qingsen's slightly chubby figure, wearing slim dark clothes, well-polished leather shoes and a small black leather bag in his arm. Although he was already in his forties, he looked a little bit...

They didn't look alike. He smiled and said, "Looking at your outfit, you really look like a rich boss."

Mu Qingsen also smiled and said: "Well, actually I am just pretending to be fat. People look down on me if I don't dress neatly when I go out to do errands."

"That's right, a man is judged by his clothes and his horse is judged by his saddle. Your factory is doing well, so you must be making a lot of money, right?"

"Hey, what kind of money are you making? It's hard to get a project."

"Nothing is easy."

Mu Qingsen thought, if I lay my nest first and then fish, I won’t believe you won’t take the bait. So he took out the prepared envelope containing money from his small purse and said with a smile: “Everyone spends the money you earn, this is a small thing.

Just buy a cigarette and smoke it."

When Xiao Yulin came, Li Minqiang smiled and took the envelope and put it aside and said: "Boss Mu, we are looking for you to talk to you about the fiberglass factory."

"What's going on at the fiberglass factory?" Mu Qingsen pretended to be dumbfounded again.

"Your contract period has expired and we need to re-discuss the contract issue."

"What are your plans?"

"We held a meeting and discussed it, and there are two opinions. One is to take it back to the village and it will be operated and managed by the village; the other is to continue to implement contracting. Which method do you think is appropriate?"

"I have no objection to both methods, you decide."

Li Minqiang thought to himself, let me give him a blow first and said: "If you want to follow the first method, your contract expired on September 1st last year, which means that the turnover since August 1st last year

It should not belong to the contractor, but should be collectively owned by the village, and the accounts and bank accounts should be frozen immediately for handover. Of course, you can't let your work go in vain these few months, we will give you appropriate subsidies." Because Li Minqiang has been removed from the contract.

I know that the contract for the goods in the factory yard was signed at the end of September last year, with a contract value of 450,000, and the other contract was signed in November, with a contract value of 600,000, and the products have been produced.

Mu Qingsen started to beat the drum in his heart. Li Minqiang was really good. He gave me a stick at the beginning and then asked: "What about the second way?"

"The second way is to implement competitive bidding for contracting. Whoever bids the highest contracting fee will be awarded the contract."

"Are people from this village participating in the bidding?"

"Not necessarily. We are also planning to send out bidding invitations to people who have made fiberglass products in surrounding villages."

Mu Qingsen did not expect to invite people from other villages to participate in the bidding, so he asked: "Should I continue to be the contractor?"

"We also hope that you will continue to contract. After all, you have been in business for such a long time, but the contract must be re-signed. Your contract expired in August last year. The new contract will start from August last year. The factory will start in August."

The operating projects are included in the new contract, and the contract amount must also be increased."

"How much improvement?"

"Twenty-four percent of the contract amount."

Mu Qingsen thought, Wang Wensi said it was 22%, but it grew another 2%. Could it be that Wang Wensi was wrong? So he said, "Isn't this too high?"

Li Minqiang thought that Mu Qingsen would definitely bargain, so he offered an extra 2%.

Li Minqiang said with a smile: "A single beautiful branch is not spring. Only when a hundred flowers bloom can the garden be full of spring. It's not enough for you to be rich alone. You have to make the whole village rich. We can only take the path of common prosperity."

Mu Qingsen said dissatisfied: "Common prosperity cannot take advantage of me."

When Li Minqiang heard this, he became unhappy and said seriously: "It's wrong of you to say that."

"What am I saying?"

Li Minqiang said: "The factory was built collectively by the village, and it cost the villagers' money, which means that the factory belongs to every villager. You are using the villagers' property. It should be said that you got rich by taking advantage of the villagers.

How do you say I took advantage of you? I should say you took advantage of the villagers."

"But I don't make much money either."

Li Minqiang said with a smile: "You don't make much money? Don't fool me. How luxurious is the house you built? Can you build it without making money? Look at your neighbor Wang Debao. The family still lives in the house he built decades ago.

The low and dilapidated adobe house is in danger of collapsing at any time. And your uncle Wang Wenchang next door has worked hard all his life, and now he lives by picking up broken bottles in exchange for some oil and salt. Can we bear to see them so poor?

Going down?"

Mu Qingsen lowered his head and answered silently. After a long time, he said: "Twenty-four percent is too high."

"It's not high. Because the village has already invested in assets. The factory buildings and equipment are provided free of charge by the village. The contractor has made no other contributions except labor."

"You should know that you can't make money just by having factories and equipment."

"So we have to bid to find capable people to contract."

“Can the contracting fee be lower?”

"It can't be any lower. If we bid, we will use this ratio as the minimum bid. If you come to contract, we can relax a little, but it won't be much lower."

"Projects may be fat or thin, big or small. I think it is more appropriate for the village to take a commission based on pure profits."

"We have also discussed this issue. If the profit commission is used, it will cause a lot of trouble. In this way, the village will have to send supervisors for finance, contracts, raw material purchase, and project negotiation. Everything must go through formal procedures, which means there will be more contractors.

Having a mother-in-law must tie up the hands and feet of the contractor. I know that shopping malls are like battlefields, and there are many mysteries in them. Some things are not easy to do openly, such as some abnormal expenses and white notes. How to deal with them? Some things are not easy.

Make it clear. As for the commission based on the contract amount, we only review whether the contract is reasonable. We don’t care about the other things. The contractor is responsible for everything and let the contractor have a free hand. This is beneficial. "

Mu Qingsen had nothing to say. He pondered for a long time and asked, "How much discount are you prepared for if I take over the contract?"

"Let me hear your opinion first."

"Fifteen percent of the contract amount."

Xiao Yulin said: "Uncle Qingsen, is this too low? Who doesn't know that this product is very profitable."

Mu Qingsen glared and said, "You can't miss the forest for the trees. There are so many invisible expenses, and there won't be much profit after excluding the costs."

Li Minqiang said with a smile: "Don't bluff us. We have also understood it. You and I both know how big the profit is."

"If you say that, I won't say anything else."

"Whether you plan to contract or not, please give us a warm word so that we can be prepared."

"I want to continue the contract, but your demands are too high. We have a good relationship. Let's see if you can go a little lower out of friendship."

"But what you said is too low." Xiao Yulin said.

Li Minqiang said: "Favours must be relationships, and justice must be justice. I am speaking for the whole village. If it is my personal matter, based on my long-term relationship with your family, I will not say anything if you don't pay a cent."

"Then how much discount are you going to give me?"

"How about a 2% discount? That's a lot, right?"

Mu Qingsen looked helpless and said: "Let's give it a 10% discount. If I accept it, you won't have to bother bidding anymore."

Li Minqiang said to Xiao Yulin: "Since Uncle Qingsen can't accept the conditions of the village committee, let's prepare to bid. You can contact the town building materials company tomorrow to see how many people they have to participate in the bidding. I will also

Please contact other villages.”

Mu Qingsen thought, if you have money, you can do whatever you want. What are you, Li Minqiang, trying to do after you took my money and refused to open the gourd? It seems that my money was wasted in front of him.

Xiao Yulin said: "Uncle Qingsen, who doesn't know that you are very smart and have many customers. You can't lose money. You can make a lot of money from just this Tianjin project."

When Mu Qingsen heard this, he thought to himself: Not only did they know the contract amount last year, but they also knew about the Tianjin project that had just been signed. They already had a bottom line in their minds, and it would be difficult to go further. If I don't contract

If they really came up with a bid, wouldn't I just give it a try? No! It had to be taken over. So he said in a cruel tone: "Twenty-two percent is twenty-two percent, I'll make a loss and make a profit."

Continue to contract."

Li Minqiang asked: "Why don't you go back and discuss it with your family?"

"No need, I can make the decision on this matter."

Li Minqiang said: "That's good. Your time is more precious than ours, and time is money. Use it to gain popularity and do things early. Let's hurry up and sign the contract as soon as possible to save you from worrying about this matter."

"Okay." Mu Qingsen said helplessly.

"Please take this away." With that, Li Minqiang handed the envelope on the table to Mu Qingsen.

"this……"

Seeing that Mu Qingsen was hesitating, Li Minqiang said, "If you don't take it back, I'll let the accountant keep it and return it to the company."
