The rural people are poor and the rural people are miserable. If Hou Lihua can find a way to help villagers get rich, he will never let it go. The production process of tofu is not complicated, and many people can make it at home. Moreover, the soybean production in Shumuling Township is indeed very high. Now the general method of villagers is to leave it for their own use, other soybeans are sold to grain stations, and the purchase price of a pound of soybeans is only 30 cents. The price of a pound of tofu can also be sold for 30 cents. You should know that 30 pounds of soybeans can be made of 100 to 110 pounds of tofu. In this way, the value of soybeans will be increased by 30 to 110 pounds of tofu. In this way, after processing, the value of soybeans will be increased by 30 pounds of tofu.

"So, the sales of tofu is not a problem?" Hou Lihua looked at Zhu Daidong with a longing look on his face. Zhu Daidong just now recommended the tofu factory to him, but now the situation has quietly reversed. Hou Lihua wants to pull Zhu Daidong to help him build a tofu factory.

"If Secretary Hou doesn't believe it, we can go to the city together on Sundays. You can make some incense at home first, and we will sell it together, and you will have a more personal experience at that time." Zhu Daidong smiled. He was very confident that as long as Hou Lihua really went to the farmers' market in the city, he would definitely be moved.

"Okay, Chairman Mao also said that without investigation, there is no right to speak, so we will go this Sunday?" Hou Lihua's dark face and smiled like a flower. Zhu Daidongken went to the city with him, and he also wanted to sell fragrant dried scents. This made him even more sure that this young man was not a boastful person who only talked but did not do.

"Dad, this tofu factory costs 40,000 to 50,000 yuan, don't be too happy too early." Hou Yong saw his father's eyes shining and kindly reminded him.

"Where can you get output without investment? As long as you can make money, the village can afford to collect the 40,000 to 50,000 yuan!" Hou Lihua glanced at his son and snorted.

"Daidong, can we invest smaller first and then expand and re-production when we see the profits?" Hou Gan said something.

He has never said much at the table, but it does not mean that he has no opinion. In fact, he is a very smart person. The most important thing is that he has perseverance, otherwise the house in his family would not have been built. Although Zhu Daidong only met him for the first time, he also had a good impression of him. Now when he asked such a question, he felt even happier. With his cleverness and perseverance, he would have a leader in the tofu factory in Houjiatang Village in the future.

"Okay, we can first use home workshop production, and the village will purchase and sell it uniformly, but in this way, the cost will be higher." Zhu Daidong thought about it. If the villagers were concerned, this was also a compromise. The only thing that needed to invest is wooden boxes and wooden boards containing tofu. Not every company has these things, and if they were sold uniformly, the specifications must be unified.

"It's okay to have a higher cost. As long as you can sell it, even if you don't make money at the beginning," Hou Lihua nodded. You can try the waters ahead. As long as there is a sales channel and then let the villagers raise funds, he will not have to worry about the branch secretary. Otherwise, 40,000 to 50,000 yuan, although his branch secretary is also highly prestige in the village, it is not easy to convince everyone.

"But there is one thing that you have to buy first, that is, a paddle mill. You can't let the villagers use stone mills to grind the paddles again, right? This is too time-consuming. Now, the stone mills in the village are not enough." Zhu Daidong said again.

"Okay, our family will buy the mill first. If we set up a factory, we will convert it into the factory." Hou Lihua made the decision on the spot, and this matter was decided.

After dinner, Hou Lihua immediately convened the village cadres to hold a meeting, unifying his thinking first, and as long as he convinced them first, he could talk before convincing the villagers. Because Zhu Daidong was the de facto initiator, Hou Lihua also invited him to participate in the village committee.

"I'll introduce you to you. This one is the secretary of the township government, Xiao Zhu and Zhu Daidong. Today, I received a notice from the township that Xiao Zhu was promoted to the director of the enterprise office. He came to our village today to discuss with us the matter of a collective enterprise in the village." Hou Lihua pulled Zhu Dai to everyone and introduced.

There were five people in the Houjiatang Village Committee. In addition to Hou Lihua, the other four were village director Hou Manyi, accountant Hou Feng, militia company commander and deputy village director Hou Jianguo, and women director Liu Dan. When they heard that the young man was a cadre in the village and was also a director, their eyes were filled with awe and they applauded and welcomed each other.

Zhu Daidong quickly smiled at everyone and shook hands and greeted each other, but soon, he automatically retreated to the back. Today, this meeting was the villagers' committee of Houjiatang Village, not his Zhu Daidong's inspection work report meeting, the protagonist was Hou Lihua.

Next, it became a separate introduction by Hou Lihua. His prestige in Houjiatang Village was as high as the sun, and with Zhu Daidong in charge today, the other committee members did not raise any objection. The reason why Hou Lihua had high prestige was because he thought about the interests of the villagers in advance and was fair and honest in his work. For decades, he had never said a word to others.

The same is true this time. First, he and Director Zhu went to the city to inspect the market, and even brought some fragrant dried pork to sell. Then he organized the villagers to produce at home, and after seeing the results, he officially raised funds to start a factory. The risks the villagers need to bear may be those dozens of kilograms of soybeans and a dozen wooden boards. This is within an acceptable range for the villagers. If the tofu made is not sold, wouldn’t it be enough to take it back and eat it from home? Those wooden boards will be used to make tofu at home in the future, and it will save you borrowing it from others.

The biggest investment among them is the paddle mill, but Secretary Hou bought it out of his own pocket. If he didn't start a factory, even if he had a private one, he would buy it from the factory. With this method, no one else could tell.

The next day, Hou Lihua was about to hold a village meeting. Zhu Daidong came back with Hou Yong because he had to go to work. After the village committee last night, Zhu Daidong knew that in Hou Jiatang, as long as Hou Lihua nodded, this matter was basically sure. What he had to do now was to help Hou Lihua contact the sales department of the mill. Thinking of going to the city on Sunday, Zhu Daidong focused on contacting several machinery sales departments in the city.

In the morning, Zhu Daidong "heard" Liu Wei's voice at the township government. Zhu Daidong drank more than five bottles of fine Laobaigan last night. He felt that the wine was worth the price. One night, a box of wine was gone, and he wanted to find Liu Wei to buy a few more boxes. These wines could not be bought in the market, and the taste was almost as good as Wuliangye. If he hadn't had so much money on hand, he would even want to buy all the fine Laobaigan in the winery stock.

Zhu Daidong was about to find Liu Wei, but suddenly he heard his footsteps heading towards Yuan Ping's office. Zhu Daidong, who had already reached the door, stopped again. He wanted to buy wine himself, so he had to wait for the people to finish the business first.
