Chapter 122: Combine Harvester (Part 2)
Trantor: 549690339
After several meetings and discussions, the Vige Head and vige cadres all agreed that it was more appropriate for the vige to establish apany.
After all, with shared interests and risks, it would better reflect the cohesion and unity of a vige, rather than fostering selfish individuals who only want to enjoy the benefits without taking on any risk.
After the vige cadres’ meeting, a vige-wide meeting took ce.
However, it was difficult to reach a consensus at the vige-wide meeting.
Especially for those women who had married into Xiao Family Vige within the past few years.
They believed that usingnd as capital to join thepany was too risky, and if thepany didn’t make any money after joining, they would suffer a great loss if they couldn’t get thend back.
Having somend at home, the older family members could rely on farming, growing rice and vegetables, so as to reduce the burden on the younger generation.
After thend shares, if thepany didn’t make any money and the elderly could do nothing but farm and take care of the children, wouldn’t that increase the burden on the younger people?
Moreover, they don’t think nting vegetables can actually make everyone money.
If nting vegetables could make money, people would have started doing it already.
Instead, the whole vige has to follow a child’s proposal to grow vegetables and be busy, and everyone’snd has to be invested in as well.
Are they ying house?
The people of Xiao Family Vige are not so childish, are they?
The new daughters-inw of Xiao Family Vige have many opinions.
However, they don’t know that their opinions are not important anymore.
“Fine, since my opinion doesn’t matter, let’s get a divorce. I’ll take the children and leave. After that, you can listen to whatever Xiao Jinli says; I won’t interfere.”
“Divorce, divorce! I can’t make decisions on such a big matter at home. I’ve been married into your family for so many years, and you still treat me as an outsider. If that’s the case, let’s just be outsiderspletely. Also, I gave birth to the child, and I have to take them with me.”
Such quarrels started one after another since the decision of establishing thepany and using householdnd as capital input.
If they use theirnd as shares, the young wives want a divorce.
But if they don’t join thepany, they might miss out on any profits if thepany starts making money in the future.
Finally, many families followed the Vige Head and Vige Committee’s advice, dividing theirnd in half, with one part as capital and the other part left for personal cultivation.
Out of the more than 100 households in Xiao Family Vige, at least 30 of them made such a choice.
Xiao Jinli had anticipated this oue.
With the information handed over by the Vige Head, Xiao Jinli began preparing to establish apany.
Of course, all the rted procedures and paperwork for setting up thepany were handed over to his father and elder brother.
After all, they are the ones who have experience running apany and are very familiar with the process.
Of course, establishing apany isn’t something that happens overnight.
A single falling leaf heralds the arrival of autumn!
As deep autumn arrives, the crops are gradually being harvested!
Late rice has already started to be harvested urgently.
Compared to summer, autumn weather is more stable, with longer periods of sunshine recing the constant switching between clouds and blue sky.
Before harvesting thete rice, Xiao Wanshan bought abine harvester, which cost over 30,000 yuan.
In addition to harvesting his own rice, it would also be used to harvest others’ rice, charging 60 yuan per mu.
Xiao Wanshan bought the harvester not to make money but to make things more convenient for everyone, so he didn’t charge a high price.
They checked and found that in ces with harvesters, the cost of harvesting one mu ofnd is 100 yuan.
Of course, for rural people, 100 yuan per mu is considered expensive. Hiring someone to work for a day would only cost 30 yuan.
Xiao Wanshan set the price after careful calction, considering the sry of the person operating the harvester and the cost of the machine itself.
He didn’t intend to make a huge profit, but he also didn’t want to suffer a loss.
Though the people of Xiao Family Vige are simple and united, they couldn’t just rely on charity to help the vigers, right?
As the saying goes, “A rise in rice brings gratitude, while a peck of rice breeds enmity!”
Xiao Wanshan knew how to strike a bnce.
Otherwise, with such a bigpany in the county town, if the people of Xiao Family Vige had developed a greedy nature, they would have taken advantage of him long ago.
When Xiao Wanshan first brought the harvester back, the vigers were curious to see it.
“Wanshan, what kind of machine is this? It’s so big!” one viger asked, reaching out to touch the red paint.
Xiao Wanshan smiled and said, “Uncle, this is abine harvester, a machine for harvesting rice!”
“This is a rice harvesting machine? How do you use it with the machine being so big?”
Xiao Junxuan replied, “Great Grandfather, thebine harvester just goes into the field, makes a couple of noises, and the rice is harvested very conveniently. In a few days, when our rice is ready to be harvested, I’ll show you how it’s done.”
“Haha, good, good, I’d like to see something new at my age.”
Five dayster, when the vigers saw Xiao Wanshan using the harvester to harvest his own rice, they werepletely astonished by the efficiency. In less than an hour, five acres of rice were harvested.
This efficiency is just too high.
For one acre and five of rice, if they were to hire three people to work for a day, it would cost at least 100 yuan or more, and it would also be tiring.
However, the biggest drawback of the harvester is that it cannot obtainplete straw; rice is harvested halfway, and after the grains are threshed, the straw is scattered all over the ground in a disorganised manner.
Many families in the vige now have cows, and not having dry straw for the winter is a problem.
Families with cows were hesitant about using the harvester.
The Vige Head doesn’t have cows, so when he saw Xiao Wanshan’s harvester, he was both intrigued and excited. He had his five acres ofnd harvested by the machine in less than two hours, and as soon as it was done, he rushed to the grain field to dry the rice.
“The efficiency of this harvester is just too amazing. Five acres ofnd harvested in under two hours.”
“It saves time and effort but it does cost money. Five acres ofnd requires 300 yuan. Now that rice is selling for 80 yuan for 100 jin, it costs several hundred jin of rice. Suddenly, I feel a bit reluctant to pay.”
Normally, the ie from farming isn’t much, and spending money on this would make vigers somewhat reluctant.
“Yeah, five acres ofnd, 300 yuan, it’s a bit much. Usually, when we harvest rice, we exchangebor with one another, only spending time and effort without too much money.”
“Now it saves time and effort but not money. Saving money doesn’t save time and effort so we have to choose one.”
“But really, harvesting five acres ofnd in less than two hours saves so much trouble. After the rice harvest, the remaining time can be used to find other work or do odd jobs.”
“Yes, you’re right. The time spent exchangingbor for harvesting can be used for odd jobs, and the money won’t be less.. Haha..
