This kind of important matter cannot be decided after one or two discussions. When Xia Li finished buying the seasonings and came out of the supply and marketing cooperative, she saw the team leader waiting outside the supply and marketing cooperative with the bullock cart. His brows were furrowed and his eyes were slightly lowered. He was playing with the pipe and pot in his hands, looking like he was deep in thought.
Xia Li walked over carrying the things, put them on the bullock cart, and asked, "What did the commune say?"
When the captain saw Xia Li coming out, he raised his chin and motioned for her to get on the bullock cart.
He also sat at the front of the bullock cart and raised his whip to drive the cattle.
"It's still a question of cost."
As she said that, she looked at Xia Li and said, "Xia Zhiqing, how much do you think it will cost to open a sugar factory?"
Xia Li, a foreigner who came through his soul, didn't even know the local prices, and he had never run a factory in this era. How could he estimate how much it would cost to run a sugar factory in one fell swoop?
But this is the only thing he can think of at the moment. The idea of getting Xia Jianguo and his wife out of the bullpen and not having to contact the No. 2 shed in the future must be settled by him no matter what!
“I thought, if we want to build a sugar factory, it’s best to do it in one step and not build it too small at the beginning.
I don't know how much it costs to build a house normally, but for machinery, we don't need to buy finished equipment. As long as we have some corresponding raw materials, I can make equivalent machines.
But considering the situation of our brigade, even if I subsidize it at the beginning, it is impossible to make this factory fully automated. It will still require some labor, and I will fill it in later. "
The captain didn't expect that Xia Li had such lofty ambitions and wanted to achieve full automation, and was immediately shocked.
Surprised: "How can it be fully automated!?
Even the large sugar factory on our island is not fully automated now.
And you are an educated youth. If you leave one day in the future, this situation will still be left to the brigade. The brigade cannot take advantage of you, nor can it allow you to supplement. "
As he spoke, he gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind from the bottom of his heart.
“If possible, we would only make the necessary sugar-making tools at the beginning, and wait for the factory to make money to make the rest.
In the beginning, we, the village cadres, pooled together the money and found a way to make up for it! "
Seeing the pain in his body, Xia Li twitched the corner of his mouth, "That's fine, I'll go back and see what other materials I have, and I'll tinker with it in the next two days to get some useful machines, and I'll treat it as a technical investment.
You can also teach the team members to boil sugar first when you go back. Although boiling sugar manually is more troublesome and time-consuming and labor-intensive, it is not impossible to do.
I just hope this can be done quickly. "
The captain is a smart man, so he naturally understood the implication of Xia Li's words, and immediately promised: "Don't worry, I will discuss it with the branch secretary when I get back, find someone to build the factory, and I will make arrangements for you as promised. It’s clear.”
Xia Li runs a sugar factory and manufactures machinery. He contributes money and effort. He knows exactly why.
The team had taken such a big advantage, so they had to give the little girl something in return. She just took care of the three of them a little. He would naturally be more accommodating when others didn't find fault.
The two of them discussed it and then drove slowly back to the brigade in a bullock cart.
The captain sent Xia Li to the entrance of the village and said to Xia Li anxiously: "I still have something to discuss with the village party secretary, so I won't send you off.
After the matter here is settled, I will inform you as soon as possible that I will select a few people to come over tomorrow and you can teach them how to make sugar. "
Xia Li: "Okay."
Xia Li nodded in agreement, turned around and walked back, but his whole body fell into another deep thought.
The dirtiest and most tiring job in the whole village is nothing more than piling manure. If the sugar factory is built, there will definitely be a toilet in the factory.
At that time, the jobs that parents were most likely to do in the past were cleaning toilets. If Xia Li didn't want them to do it, he would have to think of other ways.
Walking home with a lot of thoughts in mind, Xia Li's mind kept searching for the knowledge he had learned.
It was completely dark at this time, and her large courtyard was dimly lit. Only the largest room on the right wing was still lit.
The candlelight of the oil lamp flickered and flickered, looking unstable.
Xia Li, who was thinking about going back to his room, turned around and went directly into the warehouse.
We must first solve the problem of driving the bullock cart of the brigade leader, and then solve the lighting problem of our own house.
For a modern person, the world without lights is simply unimaginable. It is inconvenient to do anything. Even to go to the toilet, you have to go to the dark to light an oil lamp. It is simply anti-human.
