Chapter 787: The Provincial Government's Response
Fengsheng held a small press conference in Dingbian to announce the progress of some northwest rice and the planning of the second phase, and the news spread quickly, and in less than an hour, the news had spread all over the northwest.
And the biggest reaction was the Qinchuan provincial capital.
The entire Qinchuan Provincial Government has already begun to make a fuss because of this news at this time.
The Provincial Building, a spacious conference hall.
Ye Changtian personally presided over the meeting.
In the past, he was just a companion to the provincial government meeting, but in this meeting, he sat on the main seat, and he has been promoted, and he has directly sat in the right position from the executive deputy to preside over the affairs of the provincial government.
"Fengsheng just held a press conference, I believe many of you have heard of it, the Northwest Rice Project, announced to the outside world, the investment of more than 10 billion, maybe not, but at least also invested more than 5 or 6 billion, which is in our Qinchuan, it is originally a large-scale investment project, or an investment for farmers!"
Ye Changtian actually has a lot of doubts about the Northwest Rice project, he needs to understand it slowly, and then the provincial government will decide whether to fully support it.
Now, the provincial government is just helping to knock on the corners, and it is more the Department of Agriculture supporting it, because the provincial government also has some doubts about this project.
What he didn't expect was that Fengsheng's speed for this project was as fast as lightning.
The first phase of their project has completed the early planting, a full 20 million acres of land, planted rice, and they will promote the planting of 80 million mu in the second phase of the Northwest Rice project.
Ye Changtian was also shocked by this news: "If you had suspected that Fengsheng was just trying to use the name of investment to make money, then now you should know that this time, they are throwing real money!"
In the past few years, some provincial and municipal governments have been very sloppy in attracting investment, so they have been deceived a lot.
This time, there are also some people who are skeptical about the investment in this huge project.
But the hearty action has you directly shattered these suspicions.
He paused, and said: "The first phase of planting has been completed, 20 million land, seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, and cultivation equipment, all of which are unimaginable!"
He looked at it, and every face looked dignified, today is the meeting of the Standing Committee, and the people sitting here are all people who can shake the Quartet with Qin Chuan's stomped feet.
"The key is that Fengsheng has now released the second phase of the planting plan!"
Ye Changtian convened the meeting like this, and the key is in this second phase of the plan.
Putting this matter in this conference hall is also because of the importance of it, after all, looking at the entire Qinchuan, there are no 80 million acres of cultivated land.
80 million mu, not 8,000 mu, this number of cultivated land, if Qinchuan is reclaimed and reclaimed, there will be it, but this will definitely require the full support of the Qinchuan Provincial Government, and even take the blame.
After all, Qinchuan's conventional cultivated land is only 50 or 60 million mu, and some of the cultivated land in recent years is actually less than 60 million mu.
The figure of 80 million mu is an exaggerated figure for Qinchuan agriculture, but it is also a figure that brings hope.
There are many peasants in China, but the development of agriculture is not very good, not to mention their northwest, even in the coastal areas, those fertile lands are not as well developed as people.
In the northwest, the land is even more barren and the agricultural development is backward.
There is a lot of cultivated land in Qinchuan, but there is not much arable land that can be used, and a lot of land will be wasted, which is also a helpless thing.
However, the emergence of abundance broke the dilemma of Qinchuan agriculture.
In particular, this time, Fengsheng promoted the Northwest Rice Project, if this project is a complete success, Qinchuan will reverse the backwardness of agricultural development, and even win the title of a pioneer province in agricultural development in one fell swoop.
"I still have a lot of doubts about the figure of 80 million mu, whether the abundance is just a number to improve morale, so I opened my mouth!"
Some people questioned.
The person who questioned it, among the Standing Committee members, ranked lower, was named Li Yan, who was nearly 60 years old, and was an old comrade, although he was in favor of development, he had always been quite conservative, and he had never agreed with Fengsheng's northwest rice cultivation on the land of Qinchuan.
For thousands of years in the northwest, where rice has been grown, this is simply a whimsical thing.
"As far as I know, although Fengsheng has invested a lot in the northwest rice project, but at the beginning of the development, it was not very smooth, we were on the side of Shangluo, and we reported it before, Fengsheng this project, almost caused a conflict with local farmers!" Li Yan said softly: "If Fengsheng is to divert attention, and make such a fuss, we attach too much importance to it, is it a waste of the resources of the provincial government!"
"Whether it's a number from the mouth open, I don't know, but there is a little!"
Just with Ye Changtian's ascension, Han Song, who was the executive deputy of the carrying, ranked second in the provincial capital, he said with a smile: "The first phase of Fengsheng Northwest Rice has achieved 20 million mu from the project, this number, I have verified with Qin Rufeng, there is no moisture!"
His eyes became sharper, for the support of this project, he is still above Ye Changtian, Ye Changtian has to take into account the overall situation, but he is more optimistic about the development of Fengsheng.
Han Song said coldly: "The development trajectory of Fengsheng agriculture over the years, everyone can see it, it has done great things, but it has not said big things, the integrity is very good, this kind of local enterprise, it has taken so much effort to attract so much investment to help Qinchuan develop agriculture, if we are the provincial government, we still have to question them, is it too chilling!"
"What Han Province said is also reasonable, not to mention their second phase of planting plan, just say that they have completed the planting of 20 million mu in the first phase, which is also to say that one-third of our farmers in Qinchuan have already cooperated with them, which is a remarkable number!"
At this time, many people felt the huge number and were a little shocked.
How much arable land is cultivated in Qinchuan, they know in their hearts that Fengsheng can make such a big battle, which is also something that surprises them.
"I think Abundance has the ability!"
Someone slowly spoke, and began to lean towards abundance: "Therefore, our provincial government should give them the greatest support, if the northwest rice can be planted twice a year, this is an agricultural revolution for us in Qinchuan, and it is also the best opportunity to increase the income of farmers!"
But there are also people who object: "I don't doubt the ability of Fengfeng, and I don't doubt Fengfeng's determination, but I think it is not appropriate for us to take a position now, or wait until the results of the first phase of Fengsheng planting come out, and then we will talk about this matter!"
"In the past few years in the Northwest, I really haven't planted rice, no one dares to pack a ticket, and rice will definitely succeed!"
In fact, in the provincial capital, there are many people who are not very optimistic about the Fengsheng project: "Although Fengsheng has planted 20 million acres of rice fields, but no one knows, whether it can be harvested, a day without harvest, a day has to hang this heart, for them, it is just a project success or failure, but for us, it is the income of countless farmers for a year, if the project fails, farmers may have no harvest this year, this matter, we still have to be cautious!"
It's normal to be controversial, even in Ye Changtian's heart, he is not suspicious.
Rice is cultivated in the northwestern lands.
This is a miracle, everyone knows that the land in the northwest lacks water resources, and even if there are water resources, they can't be compared with those fertile fields in the south of the Yangtze River.
It's good to be able to grow wheat and corn.
Growing rice.
Basically, it's impossible.
"The suspicion is right, our provincial government wants to deal with the farmers in charge of the whole province!"
Ye Changtian summed it up and said: "However, development is to cross the river by feeling the stones, and we need to take risks, when the opportunity comes, if we can't grasp it in Qinchuan, then we may not be able to retain the abundance!"
"What the leader means is that abundance will develop outward!"
The faces of the crowd became solemn.
Such a giant as Fengsheng Agriculture is not something that the provincial government can balance, if they leave Qinchuan aside and develop outside, the provincial government of Qinchuan will have nothing to say.
They can choose to relocate their headquarters, and I believe that there are many provinces that are willing to provide better conditions in terms of tax exemption and some policies.
"Don't forget, when Fengsheng announced the development goals of the second phase of the Northwest Rice Project, it was not limited to Qinchuan, but for the entire Northwest, and 80 million mu will be planted.
Ye Changtian said: "Fengsheng agriculture is not only a big taxpayer in our province, but also a benchmark for the agricultural development of the entire northwest, and even in China, there is a very strong influence on agricultural development, we have to deal with it carefully!"
In fact, if it is Jiangshan, he is not afraid, in order to develop Jiangshan grain and oil, he opened a lot of convenient doors, when Jiangshan was just starting, he took the name of the provincial government and got a loan of 80 million for Jiangshan, based on this alone, Jiangshan has a great sense of belonging to Qinchuan, and he is confident that Song Jiang is a grateful person, any development, will first aim at Qinchuan, give priority to Qinchuan.
But Song Shan, he didn't dare to pack the ticket.
The abundant agriculture of Songshan has developed, but it is really a punch and a kick, so he came to the Department of Agriculture, and only gave some additional help, and did not give a lot of foundational help.
Fengsheng Agriculture has a sense of belonging to Qinchuan, and no one can determine this.
The Northwest Rice Project was the first to settle in Qinchuan, and it was because of Qin Rufeng's desperate gamble and the courage of the Department of Agriculture that this cooperation was created.
However, relying on the support of the Department of Agriculture alone is naturally insufficient, otherwise it would not have caused such a big contradiction in Shangluo City.
If the provincial government doesn't give better policies and provide better help, their projects will have a greater impetus and will be more difficult to develop.
It's not a big problem for a short time, but if you don't support it for a long time, I'm afraid it will cause disgust.
"Leader, can you talk to Fengsheng Agriculture!" Han Song thought for a while, looked at Ye Changtian, and said: "Even if our provincial government wants to support it, we have to know what they think, and now that they don't communicate with us, we will find a way to communicate with them!"
There is also the problem of untimely communication between the two sides, and some mistrust between the two sides has long been resolved.
"Yes!"
Ye Changtian said: "Whether we believe in the development of the second phase of the Northwest Rice Project, first of all, we must affirm their contribution to the first phase of the Northwest Rice, 20 million mu, of which at least 20 percent belongs to the farmland that was abandoned in previous years, and now it is used, which is a progress for the agricultural development of the entire Qinchuan River!"
There is a lot of land in Qinchuan, not only tens of millions of acres, but a lot of land is wasted, thinking that Qinchuan has insufficient labor.
Abundant mechanical planting, the use of mechanical force to replace manual planting, not only increases the efficiency and speed, but also increases the amount of wasteland reclaimed.
"Leader, in fact, we can let Jiangshan and Fengsheng sit down and talk together!"
Someone proposed: "The abundant Northwest Rice Project, and the Xijing Grain and Oil Trade Market project that Jiangshan Grain and Oil is currently cooperating with the Xijing Municipal Government, there are many places to communicate!"
"We also have to take precautions, once we have abundant brilliant results in planting, then we will think that our grain harvest this year will be a huge number, and sales will become the biggest problem!"
The one who made this suggestion was the leader of the provincial government at the end, Fu Xin.
Fu Xin was picked up by Ye Changtian, and his views and abilities on economic development were somewhat derived from Ye Changtian, but he did it more carefully.
He said in a low voice: "Xijing has invested heavily in this project, and has attracted COFCO, Northwest Grain and Oil, and Sichuan Grain...... The purpose of many large-scale grain and oil enterprises is to revitalize the grain and oil market in the entire northwest and control the grain imported and exported in the northwest.
"The relationship between Fengsheng and Jiangshan, I don't think I need to say more!" Fu Xin continued: "If we support Fengsheng now, it will be a little irresponsible to the entire Qinchuan farmers, we need more results, so that the provincial government can unconditionally support Fengsheng, but in order to not chill the heart of Fengsheng's development, we can help them from the periphery and promote their cooperation with the Xijing grain and oil trade market, I believe it is also a good thing for Fengsheng!"
"I agree!"
Han Song's eyes lit up, he originally wanted to support Fengsheng, but the opinions of some comrades were still relatively pertinent, related to the entire agricultural development of Qinchuan, and they were vague.
"I agree!"
"That's fine, at least it won't seem that our provincial government is not helping at all in this project!"
Many giants agreed to Fu Xin's proposal.
Ye Changtian thought about it for a while, nodded and said, "Then ask the two of them to sit down and talk together, bundle together, and have a better chat!"
In fact, Ye Changtian also received a call from the government before this, and the government is currently discussing the issue of support and non-support on this matter.
But Fengsheng is too capable of tossing, and they don't dare to be absolutely assured, but they don't support it, and they feel a little inauthentic.
