Chapter 55 Purchasing Mountain Products
Back in Gushanling Township, Qi Tongwei reported the results of his trip to the county seat to the township head, Yan Maoqing.
"Mayor Tongwei, when will the three buyers arrive? Please arrange for the Party and Government Office to make preparations for their reception immediately."
After all, they were introduced by the Party Secretary, the County Head, and the Executive Deputy County Head; we absolutely cannot neglect them.
Township head Yan Maoqing was very happy to hear this. Qi Tongwei truly lived up to his reputation as a graduate student from Handong University; his abilities were indeed impressive.
They not only came up with a way to increase the income of the people and improve the township's fiscal revenue by using mountain products, but also quickly solved the problem of sales channels.
When Qi Tongwei reported to him before, he just thought it was worth a try and told Qi Tongwei to go ahead and do it.
It doesn't matter that Qi Tongwei didn't succeed; at least he explored some avenues for the development of the township.
If Qi Tongwei succeeds, Gushanling Township will gain another highlight besides vegetable cultivation.
Once all the local mountain products are sold, the income of the villagers will increase significantly.
The township's fiscal revenue will also increase significantly.
In this way, the township officials, teachers, doctors, and nurses can receive several months' worth of extra wages.
"Mayor, the three buyers will be coming to the township in a few days. I have already made arrangements with the Party and government office. I would appreciate it if you could take some time to receive them."
Qi Tongwei said that he was only the deputy township head after all, and the township head Yan Maoqing had to personally receive him to show the importance that Gushanling Township attached to the matter.
"Of course. By the way, now that we have buyers, how are the preparations for the mountain products going?"
Yan Maoqing was worried that when the buyers arrived, the local mountain products wouldn't be ready.
Previously, the concern was that there were no buyers even if there were mountain products. Now that there are buyers, the concern is that there aren't enough mountain products.
"Don't worry, Township Head. I've already asked Qin Huai from the Party and Government Office to arrange for the villagers in each village to collect mountain products, and I've also asked the Agricultural Technology Station to assist."
By now, they should have collected a lot of mountain produce.
Qi Tongwei had already made arrangements. In order to speed up the collection of mountain products, Qi Tongwei also asked the agricultural technology station to assist Qin Huai.
The agricultural technology station was not under Qi Tongwei's jurisdiction, but since Qi Tongwei came from the agricultural technology station, he would naturally think of the agricultural technology station when there were benefits to be had.
Of course, this was also Qi Tongwei assisting Executive Deputy Township Head Wang Ziwen in vegetable planting work; otherwise, assigning work to units outside his jurisdiction would have been overstepping his bounds.
Qi Tongwei had his own reasons for not having the units under his supervision assist Qin Huai.
Qi Tongwei was too busy with primary and secondary schools, and he was also very dissatisfied with the previous performance of the cultural broadcasting station, education office, bus station, and industrial and commercial bureau. Naturally, he wouldn't consider them if there were any benefits to be had.
Only after the heads of the cultural broadcasting station, education office, passenger station, and industry and commerce bureau are replaced can they be assigned work normally.
At this stage, as long as they don't make mistakes at work, Qi Tongwei doesn't bother to care too much.
Although Qi Tongwei and Yan Maoqing said that the collection of mountain products was almost done, they also believed in the work ability of Qin Huai and the comrades at the agricultural technology station.
But Qi Tongwei was still worried, and he wanted to personally check on the collection of mountain products.
Qi Tongwei quickly visited all 46 villages, asking each village to count the quantity of mountain products and report it to him. He also instructed the villages to arrange for villagers in each village group to increase their efforts in collecting mountain products.
Receiving the data reported by each village finally put Qi Tongwei's mind at ease.
Qi Tongwei was worried that there wouldn't be enough mountain produce, and that the three buyers would have made a wasted trip.
That would offend Jin Yang, the county party secretary, Lei Yaohua, the county head, and Lan Guanghui, the executive deputy county head.
After all, the purpose of inviting them is to help them make money.
Only when the buyer makes money can we cooperate better in the future.
Fortunately, there's no need to worry about that anymore.
Qi Tongwei immediately reported to Yan Maoqing, who felt much more relaxed after hearing the report.
Soon, three buyers arrived, each bringing a car.
The township warmly received the three buyers, and Qi Tongwei notified all the villages to bring their collected mountain products to the township to sell.
Then, the vigorous purchase of mountain products began.
The village was bustling with people, all carrying large bags of mountain produce, queuing up at the purchasing point to sell their goods.
The township government arranged for many people to help and guided villagers to pay their taxes and fees at the township office.
As the purchase of mountain products proceeded, every household earned a considerable income, and the township also collected a significant amount of taxes and levies.
Qi Tongwei also received letters from the Southern Daily and Huacheng Morning Post. They accepted Qi Tongwei's suggestion to cooperate and publish a book on the rise of a great power.
The first print run was 1 copies, 16K format, priced at 50 yuan, with an 8% royalty.
卖出3万册，版税9%；卖出5万册，版税10%；卖出10万册，版税11%；卖出20万册，版税12%。
Unsure of market conditions, the Southern Daily and Huacheng Morning Post did not dare to print large quantities at once.
The first batch of 1 copies will be used to test the market. If the market is good, the second batch will be printed in larger quantities.
They also knew that Qi Tongwei had published articles on the rise of a great power in the People's Daily, the Freedom Daily, and the Hanjiang Daily.
It's unlikely that a major power can be exclusively released, so the only option is to compete for the first release.
The first batch of 10,000 copies will not only cover Lingnan, but also southern Fujian, Guangxi, Hunan, Henan, and Hainan Island.
This allows us to quickly capture the market in these provinces.
In addition, rapid coverage is also needed in the western, Guizhou, southwestern, and Hubei provinces.
Only in this way can the market for products related to the rise of a great power be expanded.
Qi Tongwei had no objection to the royalties offered by Southern Daily and Huacheng Morning Post.
Normal royalties are 3%-10%, while newcomers receive 4%-8%.
Qi Tongwei's 8% royalty rate is already the highest among newcomers.
Moreover, Qi Tongwei's royalty income is tiered; as long as the sales of his products are good due to the rise of a great power, his royalties will continue to increase.
Qi Tongwei wrote another article, "Some Explorations on Developing Rural Economy," and sent it to the Masses Daily, Freedom Daily, Hanjiang Daily, Nanbian Daily, Huacheng Morning Post, and Agriculture Daily.
Having put his previous ideas into practice and achieved some results, Qi Tongwei is determined to publish them.
Qi Tongwei went to the Transportation Bureau to apply for funds to repair the highway.
With the purchase of mountain products, more vehicles are on the road, making the dilapidated state of the road connecting Gushanling Township to the county seat even more apparent.
The three buyers also raised the issue of the road with the local government, which had to take it seriously.
"Director Jiang, Gushanling Township is planning to repair the road from the township to the county seat. Can the Transportation Bureau provide some funding?"
Qi Tongwei, the deputy director in charge of the county's transportation and highways and overseeing the municipal bureau's highway section, construction management section, and comprehensive planning section, said to Jiang Yuanda.
"Mayor Qi, the roads in Gushanling Township are indeed in poor condition and need to be repaired."
The Transportation Bureau will definitely support you, but the specifics of how to support you will need to be studied and decided by the bureau.
Your village also needs to raise some funds yourself.
Jiang Yuanda said that the road in Gushanling Township is the worst in the county. If it is repaired, the Transportation Bureau will have another achievement.
However, it depends on how much budget the bureau has left. If there is a lot of budget left, more support can be provided.
Of course, whether or not to support it depends on the final decision of the bureau, and it is also possible that they will not support it at all.
After all, the decision-maker is the bureau chief, not him, the deputy bureau chief.
"Okay, thank you, Director Jiang!"
Qi Tongwei was very happy; Jiang Yuanda's lack of direct rejection indicated a high chance of success.
However, Jiang Yuanda is right. Gushanling Township also needs to raise some funds on its own and cannot rely entirely on the Transportation Bureau.
After leaving the Transportation Bureau, Qi Tongwei planned to apply for some funds from the Party Secretary, the County Head, and the Deputy County Head in charge, so that he could better repair the roads.
