Chapter 122
The next morning, after Zhou Feng finished his meal, Zhao Xiaoqiang drove a bullock cart to pick him up and take him into the city.
Zhou Feng didn't expect that he had a driver before he even had a car.
Zhao Xiaoqiang was so happy when he called out"Driver Zhao". Driving is a rare skill nowadays.
"Xiaoqiang, I'll take you to the scrap collection station later, and you can go directly to the vehicle management office"
"Village chief, what are you going to the vehicle management office for?"
Zhou Feng said with a smile:"Nonsense, of course I'm going to the vehicle management office to take a driver's license test!"
Zhao Xiaoqiang was stunned for a moment, pointed at himself, and said in disbelief:"Me?"
Zhou Feng was too lazy to argue with him:"Do you want to learn or not? If not, I'll find someone else."
Zhao Xiaoqiang nodded hurriedly:"I'll learn, I'll learn, village chief, I'll learn, I'm sure I'll learn quickly and well."
When I was negotiating with Qiu Bo about buying a car, we talked about the issue of driver's license. Zhou Feng would drive, so he asked Old Qiu to use the back door to get it. But he, as the boss, couldn't always drive. There had to be a few drivers in the factory.
Now there was no one else in the factory, so Zhou Feng could only let Zhao Xiaoqiang take over.
Learning to drive in the 1980s was more troublesome than in later generations. The battle line was very long and cumbersome. You also needed to get a letter of introduction and learn mechanical knowledge. You not only had to know how to drive, but also how to repair.
But there was a lot of room for maneuver. If a green hand like Zhao Xiaoqiang hadn't undergone systematic learning, Zhou Feng wouldn't dare to ride in his car.
Zhou Feng asked Old Qiu to help buy three cars, a sedan and two trucks, not for anything else, but for convenience. He couldn't always ask Li Daochang for help every time he transported goods. After all, it was public property, and it would have a bad influence if he always borrowed it.
When Zhou Feng entered the scrap collection station, he found that Old Li was seriously writing and drawing with glasses on.
"Uncle Li, you are working so hard!"
Old Li hadn't seen Zhou Feng for a long time. Seeing Zhou Feng's enthusiasm, he hurriedly asked him to sit down.
"You kid finally decided to come to my place. You have been back for so many days, but you didn’t even come to see me."
Zhou Feng was a little embarrassed:"After I came back, Brother Li kept pulling me away, so I just pushed him away and came to see you right away."
This was not nonsense, after all, he had been discussing cooperation with 712 these two days.
Old Li laughed:"I will deal with him later!"
Zhou Feng glanced at the notebook where Old Li was writing and drawing, and asked in surprise:"Uncle Li, have you started?"
The last time Zhou Feng gave him dividends, the old man disliked it too much, and finally it was Li Daochang who helped persuade him to accept it.
It was at that time that Zhou Feng was thinking about doing charity, and this time he came for this matter. He had already promised to invest money, and he couldn’t fail to fulfill his promise.
However, he also had to see what Old Li thought and make sure that he really wanted to do this. He couldn’t force him to do it. Old Li was about to retire, and if he was unwilling to do it, not only would he not be able to do it well, but Li Daochang would also not be happy.
"I started doing it the last time you said that, and I've almost spent all the 20,000 yuan!"
Zhou Feng looked at Old Li's energetic appearance. He didn't look like he was spending money. If you didn't know, you would think he had earned 20,000 yuan.
"Uncle Li, do you want to do what I told you last time?"
Old Li looked at Zhou Feng and said,"Do you really want to do this? This will cost a lot of money."
"Look at what you said, you are willing to give up the money in your pocket, so why should I be reluctant to give it up?"
Old Li was amused by Zhou Feng's words and pointed at him with his hand:"What do you want to do? As long as you don't despise Uncle Li's old bones, it's fine."
"Uncle Li, you are in your prime, why are you acting like an old man when you are only in your fifties?"
"Just give me some magic potion, tell me, I'll see if I can do it."
Zhou Feng thought about it and told me his plan.
"Uncle Li, you should know that I just built a factory in Kaoshantun, called Zhengfeng Technology, which mainly does exports. I want to open a separate department under Zhengfeng Technology to do charity. I will be responsible for investing money and you will be in charge of steering."
Old Li became interested when he heard this. It seemed that Zhou Feng was not just playing around.
"Your factory isn't even up and you're planning on doing charity?"
Zhou Feng laughed,"Uncle Li, you underestimate me. The fact that the factory isn't up and running doesn't mean there's no money. The antenna factory has distributed more than 200,000 in dividends in the past two months, and this money is your initial funding."
Old Li jumped up from his chair and said,"How much?"
"Two hundred thousand"
"No, no, this is too much, how can I manage it?"
"Uncle Li, this is asking you to spend money, not to make money, what are you afraid of?"
"I'll tell you where to spend the money, and you just spend it."
Old Li was really frightened. In an era when people with an annual income of 10,000 yuan were legendary, he was asked to donate 200,000 yuan to charity. This was not a big deal.
Zhou Feng's idea was also very simple. There were too many people who needed help. He didn't have the ability to treat everyone equally. He could only take care of some special groups first and do as much work as he could.
The scale and scope will also increase little by little. Of course, this is based on the premise that Zhengfeng has developed.
He first chose two aspects. One is veterans with difficulties in retiring.
Now there are many imperfect assistance systems. Many people like Old Li's comrades have returned to their hometowns with injuries and illnesses, but they cannot even guarantee their basic living. This is something no one wants to see. The situation.
Old Li has a say in helping this group of people, and Zhou Feng is also happy to spend the money.
On the other hand, there is the issue of children's education. Now going to school is getting more and more attention, but due to limited conditions, many children cannot go to school.
Moreover, the teaching environment in many rural areas is poor. Take Kaoshantun as an example. The so-called primary school is just three earthen houses.
There are still many places that don't even have earthen houses. If children want to go to school, they can only walk a long way up the mountain to go to school.
Of course, these are all very large projects, and they can only be done step by step.
After listening to Zhou Feng's plan, Old Li turned around on the ground like a possessed person. After a long time, he said:
"Zhou Feng, I can definitely do this well. Let's start with Kaoshantun."
Zhou Feng shook his head and said,"Kaoshantun doesn't need it. There are so many factories in the village. They will have a wave of income by the end of this year. We can build a school by ourselves. Let's spend the money wisely.""
Old Li's actions were amazingly fast. After Zhou Feng left, he submitted his resignation application. Everyone thought that Old Li was crazy. He was about to retire, but he actually smashed his iron rice bowl.
Just when Old Li was running the formalities, Li Jiale and two technical workers came back.
The company's formalities have been completed, and Li Jiale has also connected with China Merchants Group this time. The official exchange rate is now 2, which means that one US dollar can be exchanged for two yuan, but the trade settlement exchange rate provided by China Merchants Group has reached 2.7, which means that this time Li Jiale exchanged one million US dollars for 2.7 million RMB.
This money will mainly be used for the operation of Zhengfeng Technology in the mainland. Hong Kong Island will keep one million US dollars to open up channels in various markets and recruit personnel and set up office space.
The remaining three million US dollars need to be paid to 712 as a prepayment for chip orders.
Looking at Li Jiale, who was obviously rounder, Zhou Feng smiled and said,"How do you feel about coming back this time?"
Li Jiale smacked his lips:"To be honest, I thought this place might be very poor before, but I didn't expect it to be so poor. Even the government is poor."
