Chapter 230 Pig Farming Cooperative

Only when it rains next time will everyone go into the mountains again.

Everyone will take time out to work with Chen Weidong for two days.

This is to repay the favor. After all, this was agreed upon in advance.

Moreover, they ate the meal at Chen Weidong’s house and took the meat. Everyone had a sense of responsibility about it without Chen Weidong saying anything.

Therefore, on Chen Weidong’s side, although people were replaced almost every day and the number of people coming to work was much less than at the beginning, the construction had never stopped.

Early this morning, Chen Weidong came to his elder brother Chen Weihai’s house and discussed with him about setting up a pig farm.
At first, Chen Weidong planned to invest a few hundred yuan in Chen Weihai (he would be responsible for providing the money and Chen Weihai would be responsible for management), split the profits 60% to 40%, and start a small pig farm to develop slowly.

But Chen Weidong suddenly thought that he was getting richer and richer in the village. Shitou and Bingzi also made a lot of money by going hunting with him in the mountains. If he helped his elder brother to build a pig farm, some people would inevitably be jealous.
People’s hearts are complicated, and my brother is just an ordinary farmer. If he runs a pig farm, his future development will easily be restricted. You know, many companies these days are named collectively.

Chen Weidong was worried that Chen Weihai would lose control of the business if he ran it alone. In addition, building a pig farm would not only waste time and money, but also require buying land in the village to expand the scale.

Chen Weidong remembered that there were only a few empty houses left in the abandoned village office. With a little renovation, they could be used to raise pigs.
In this case, it would be better to set up a pig-raising cooperative and tie the interests of all the people in the village into it.

This method is similar to the predecessor of village-run enterprises. It will be much more convenient to do things in the village. For example, when the pig farm is expanded in the future, everyone in the village will be one of our own, and it will be convenient to buy or rent land. If someone wants to cause trouble, they will have to think twice because everyone in the village is one of our own.

After the discussion, Chen Weidong took Chen Weihai to the home of the village chief Wang Guofu.

“Weidong, Weihai, you are such rare guests. You two brothers are both free today, come and see me, an old man.
“Weidong, you didn’t go into the mountains today!”

Seeing the two people come in, Wang Guofu greeted them with a smile.

“Uncle Guofu!”

Chen Weihai shouted.

“Uncle Guofu, I’ve been busy building a house recently and haven’t been up the mountain for several days.” Chen Weidong also replied with a smile.

“Oh, right! Uncle Guofu, I have something I want to discuss with you!”

Chen Weidong stated his purpose directly and directly. If he wanted to set up a pig-raising cooperative, he naturally had to tie Wang Guofu, who had the highest status in the village, to the ship first.

“Oh? What’s the matter?”

“I originally wanted to set up a pig farm with my eldest brother. Isn’t this for the people in the village? Life is not easy for everyone, so I want to set up a pig farming cooperative to make everyone’s life better…”

Chen Weidong immediately started to sing a high-sounding tune and repeated what he had said to Chen Weihai before.

“Weidong, your idea is good. Our village is too poor, but it’s not that easy!
And we’re setting up a cooperative. You know, we haven’t had the big pot for a few years, and we’re doing that again. Isn’t this a joke? Who in the village is willing to join? If I bring it up, won’t I be scolded to death by the villagers? “

Wang Guofu shook his head, feeling that what Chen Weidong said was unreliable.

“Uncle Guofu, the cooperative I’m talking about is different from the previous cooperative.

The previous cooperatives were just a big pot where everyone was pushed into the project.

Now, we can do it separately.

For example, a pig-raising cooperative was established, with all villagers participating voluntarily.

We won’t distribute the participants equally.

Everyone contributes funds based on their own circumstances, and the amount of funds contributed is entirely voluntary.

Then I will be the president of the cooperative, my eldest brother will be responsible for the operation of the cooperative, Uncle Guofu, you will be responsible for the accounting of the cooperative, and other members will not participate in the operation and management, but only wait for dividends at the end of the year.

Of course, although I am the president, I am just a figurehead. I have no time to participate in management, nor do I have time to work in the cooperative. Everything is handled by my eldest brother. If he does not do a good job in the future, I will treat everyone equally and select the right person to be responsible for the operation. Moreover, the people who contribute the most money also have the right to supervise.

If members are willing to work in the cooperative, they can get wages.

The amount of salary can be discussed slowly.

Chen Weidong told Wang Guofu what he had learned about the model of the new cooperative.

“Uh……”

“Uncle Guofu, I’m not greedy. This time my brother and I are going to invest 500 to 600 yuan, plus stones and soldiers, it’s almost 1,000 yuan. As I said before, I want to benefit the people in our village, otherwise we would do it ourselves.”

Chen Weidong then emphasized.

“But what if the villagers are unwilling to participate?” Wang Guofu was very tempted, especially when he heard that Chen Weidong was willing to pay so much money, it was only right for him to be the president.

“This is easy! People are unwilling to join because they are scared by the previous cooperatives and are afraid that they will be the same as before. We can set up a demonstration. For example, the pig farming cooperative I mentioned can first find a group of people to set it up. When everyone sees that they can make money, others will naturally be willing to join.

However, by that time, it will no longer be a pig-raising cooperative, and other cooperatives can be organized, such as cattle-raising cooperatives and chicken-raising cooperatives.

“I think it’s okay! I think we shouldn’t look for anyone else. Since you guys have invested so much money, I’ll also invest in it. Although I don’t have much money, I can still afford to buy a coffin worth more than 100 yuan over the years!

We are looking for some people, call Shitou and Bingzi, they can make a lot of money by following you now! First, set up a pig farming cooperative and start working. Next year, when everyone sees the benefits we have generated, we will set up other cooperatives. “

Wang Guofu nodded. He was now more convinced of Chen Weidong. Chen Weidong had been to big cities and was knowledgeable. Shitou and Bingzi had made money with him, and they had established a pig-raising cooperative. This did not conflict with current policies and did not involve any risks.

“By the way, I will inform all the villagers later. As for whether they are willing to participate, it is entirely voluntary. We will not force them.

Then, the mature and prudent Wang Guofu proposed to hold a meeting to inform all the villagers.

“Of course they should be notified whether they attend or not.”

Chen Weihai said.

Chen Weidong didn’t say anything. His position as president was just a figurehead and was only responsible for giving advice and paying some money.

He has no business taking care of anything else. When the time comes, all he has to do is wait for his share of the money.

As for whether the cooperative can make money, Chen Weidong is not worried at all.

It’s the 1980s now, an era when even pigs can fly. How is it possible not to make money?

The reason why we can’t make money is that some leaders have embezzled the money.

As president, Chen Weidong does not have to worry about someone embezzling his money. As for development,

He can also give some advice to prevent the cooperative from going astray. It is not certain how big the cooperative can be, but there will definitely be no problem in making money.

After the big thing was settled, Wang Guofu asked casually why we had to set up a pig farming cooperative first.
Chen Weidong chuckled. At first, he just wanted to help a bunch of big brothers. As for benefiting the people in the village, that was complete nonsense. He was not that noble.

Of course Chen Weidong would not tell Wang Guofu, but only told him that he wanted to benefit the people in the village.

This made Wang Guofu give a thumbs up, and he even wanted Chen Weidong to take over his job in the future. However, Chen Weidong shook his head, as he had no interest in being the village chief.

“Weidong, can the pig farming cooperative you mentioned make money?” Wang Guofu asked again after a while.

Chen Weidong knew that he was worried about the hundred dollars being wasted, so he smiled and said, “Uncle Guofu, don’t worry!
I guarantee that you will earn back the 100 yuan you invested. You should know that our country is very short of meat. With our scale, we can still make money even if we sell it to food stations.

Of course, the money earned is just small. I will go to Hajiang City to see if there are any channels. I guarantee that I can make money!”

Chen Weidong said confidently that business these days is not as difficult as in later generations, let alone for an old fox like Chen Weidong who had lived for more than sixty years in his previous life.

“Weidong, you are a capable person, uncle believes in you!” Wang Guofu nodded.

“Of course, Uncle Guofu, we have to pay attention to one thing, that is to avoid swine fever. We also need to find a veterinarian! The location of the pig farm…”

Chen Weidong repeated what he had thought.

“Yes. Weidong is right. As long as we raise pigs, we won’t have to worry about selling them! As long as we can find a way to prevent the pigs from getting sick, we won’t have to worry about losing money.”

“If you raise more than a hundred cows a year, you’ll be rich.”

“Just a hundred pigs is nothing. The current pig farm is too small. In the future, we will invite experts from the city to build a large pig farm. When it develops bigger in the future, we will have no problem raising hundreds or even thousands of pigs a year.”

Chen Weidong smiled and drew a pie for Wang Guofu.

“Feed so many? Where can we get so much food?” Wang Guofu’s eyes lit up and he came to his senses.

“Haha, who says you have to feed grain to pigs? Even if you do feed them grain, do you have to grow it yourself? We can go to the grain station and buy bran!
In addition, people can be organized to grow forage grass such as alfalfa on the wasteland in the village.

In the summer, you can hire someone to collect grass for the pigs, store it, and use it to feed the pigs in the winter.”

Chen Weidong remembers that before the production team was disbanded, there was a special job for this in the village, which was considered one of the easiest jobs.

You can earn two or three work points every day.

So, when Chen Weidong suggested hiring someone to cut pig grass for winter storage, Wang Guofu objected: “Weidong, if you hire someone to cut pig grass, you might lose money!
You know that when we were in the production team, we had to arrange people to cut grass for pigs. Some people couldn’t do heavy physical work, so we had to find some work for them to do so that they could have food to eat.”

“Uncle Guofu, I understand that when we hire people to collect pig grass now, we can’t do it like the old days in the production team, where we could get work points (wages) by collecting a few baskets of pig grass a day.
