The last time Ji Zhong came to Yunxi was during the Chinese New Year.

Every time he came over, looking at the vast mountains from afar, his mind would be attracted by the dilapidated villages dotted on it, and sometimes he couldn't help but think that since the reform and opening up, the entire southern Hunan Province, large and small cities, has ushered in great development, but the rural areas here have always been the same poverty, backwardness and hopelessness, for many years, millions of people in the vast mountainous areas of the north and south have not even solved the minimum food and clothing problem.

As for Yunxi Village, as the leader of the city's public security system, he is busy with official business, and he does not come often, especially after Ji Ling's grandparents passed away, he just tried his best to do his duty as a son-in-law and restrained himself from doing what he could for his mother's family.

This time, it was also Ji Ling's uncle Zhang Haijun who called and invited him to attend the inauguration ceremony of the Yunxi Village Cultural Activity Center, because the previous small hall was really dilapidated and unpresentable, and at the beginning of this year, at the initiative of the village committee, funds were raised to rebuild a new one.

According to rumors, fund-raising is calculated according to the capitation, and I naturally don't know how much it is, but I also heard his mother's eldest brother say on the phone with interest that Zhang Yunqi's little doll was the most generous, and the head fund-raising and celebration gifts took 200,000 yuan before and after, so the newly built auditorium is atmospheric, the interior wall is painted on the ground, and the outside is pasted with tiles. The reading room, even the name has been changed, called Yunxi Village Cultural Activity Center.

The celebration of Yunxi Village Cultural Activity Center will be held tomorrow, and today the village has been in full swing to prepare for a banquet, buy firecrackers and salutes, hang color bars and paste red lists, and be full of festivity.

When he came back this time, Ji Zhong also clearly felt that some kind of magical change was taking place in this village, no one was poor in the gossip center of the village, and the peasants' faces had a vivid color that he had rarely seen in the past. This point is most obvious in the thousands of acres of Fangyuan pepper planting base located at the foot of the General Ridge, and the field with no end in sight is full of fruitful Fangyuan peppers. This kind of pepper is a special product of Fengyang, spicy and brutal, the fragrance is unique, the flavor is far better than the wild pepper, and the value space in the market is relatively high. At this moment, the farmers of Yunxi Village with straw hats are busy picking, collecting, bagging and carrying, their enthusiasm for labor is unprecedentedly high, accompanied by Zhang Yunqi to tell him that these people are all members of the Yunxi Village Cooperative, picking peppers not only have wages to get, and after the peppers are sold to Longjingyuan, at the end of the year, there are land dividends and stock dividends.

This made Ji Zhong feel a little emotional, 20 years ago, a Zhang Jing and a Zhang Guoxiang came out of this poor and backward mountain nest, the former is his wife, the current vice president of the Lijin City Cooperative Bank, and the latter is the deputy director of the Jiangchuan City Education Bureau.

20 years later, a hairy young man, like his predecessors, walked out of this mountain with excellent results, and then became a multimillionaire in two years.

Of course, there are not a few rich people that Ji Zhong has dealt with, which does not surprise him very much, but some people are born to know, know what they are doing, what they want, no matter how far they go, they will never forget their original intention.

That's what makes it so valuable.

Zhang Yunqi, who accompanied him to visit the Yunxi Village Cooperative and explained the long-term planning for this land with great interest, reminded Ji Zhong from time to time of the scene two years ago when this hairy young man with yellow muscles and bare feet and wearing tattered clothes broke into his office. Speaking from the heart, this young man is not easy, poverty let him step on the grim stage of life too early, experienced the hardships that his peers could not imagine, he has a deep understanding of the world, he knows what he is doing, what he wants, he is not only working in his own direction, but also let the situation of these croppers have a new head, the Longjingyuan Industrial Park and the three characteristic industries planned will bring rolling wealth to his hometown that is held by poverty.

Thinking and watching all the way like this, Ji Zhong had already walked to the Longjingyuan Industrial Park that was about to start construction again accompanied by Zhang Yunqi, he looked at the vast land, and still sighed in his heart: "When will you hold this groundbreaking ceremony?"

Zhang Yunqi said: "Because the village is going to hold a cultural activity center celebration, the groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled for next Monday, Uncle Ji, do you have time to participate?"

Ji Zhong shook his head, but after a while, he nodded again and said, "In terms of economic matters, it is better to invite Mayor Yang to attend, I will come here as the son-in-law of the village, and after a while, I should go to Lijin City to take up a post, and you have to take care of some things in the city." ”

Zhang Yunqi was stunned, he did not receive any news about this matter, although Ji Zhong did not say it clearly at the moment, but he quickly reacted, Ji Chong's new position is the deputy mayor of Lijin City, a city in South Hunan Province, and the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

This transfer seems to be normal at least on the surface, and the directors of public security bureaus in provincial capital cities are mostly from other cities in the province, or from provincial departments.

At present, Ji Zhong can also be regarded as a man of the year in the Huxiang police circle, who is easy to take the lead in criminal investigation, and has investigated many major cases, including the Jiangchuan series of explosions and destruction, the Friendship Apollo shopping mall hijacking case and many other major cases. The only thing worth doubting is age, Ji Zhong is only 44 years old this year. Of course, at present, the province is stressing everywhere that it is necessary to emancipate the mind, overcome the rigid and semi-rigid state among the leading cadres, and promote a large number of young and pioneering cadres.

Zhang Yunqi thought about this, but he was unwilling to think in a deeper direction. He is a businessman, and the Longjingyuan canning factory he took over is a state-owned asset, and the acquisition model adopted is still very radical, although the entire process of property rights restructuring is transparent, and he is not afraid of shadows, but he also knows that there are some things to keep a distance from and avoid hidden dangers in the future, especially when he is so young, it is easy for people to think about it, so he is usually very restrained, and he would rather talk to Yang Jiarong about most things, rather than take the line of discipline.

However, it is difficult for officials and businessmen to clarify the line, although he and Ji Zhong are by no means as the outside world says, but there is indeed a subtle relationship that cannot be explained. At this time, he had to think of Yang Jiarong's excited reaction after reading the article he wrote some time ago, "Some Basic Judgments and Prospects on the Evolution of the Privatization of China's Public Enterprises -- Based on the Property Rights Reform of Jiangchuan Longjingyuan Canning Factory to Innovate and Revitalize State-owned Assets". He was now a little unsure whether it was right for him to take the initiative in taking part in the storm of the reform of the property rights system of the city's state-owned enterprises, and that was what Ji Chong had just deliberately reminded him to pay attention to in the city? He needed to be quiet for a few days in order to make a thorough consideration and a clear judgment on certain situations in the city.

Thinking like this, the old and the young walked back to the village with their own thoughts, and the enthusiastic villagers slowed down their pace a lot, and when they walked to the door of Zhang Haijun's house, Ji Zhong suddenly said: "By the way, there is one more thing, Ji Ling's mother has been working in Lijin City, this time I will transfer to the past, I can't let her stay in Jiangchuan alone, I plan to transfer her to Lijin City to study, but she is unwilling." You know this girl, she's too stubborn, you can find a time to persuade her. ”

Zhang Yunqi was stunned, and before he could speak, he heard Ji Chong, who walked into the yard with his hands behind his back, say in a strange tone: "In that girl's heart, my father's words are no longer as effective as your words." ”

Zhang Yunqi stood outside the door for a long time before entering.

After lunch, Zhang Yunqi attended the meeting of the Yunxi Village Joint-Stock Cooperative non-stop.

The main content of the meeting was to develop a breeding production base and expand a pepper production base. This is the main purpose of Zhang Yunqi's return to Yunxi Village this time. In addition to the management of the cooperative headed by Zhang Haijun, the participants also included cadres of the Yunxi Village Committee, several representatives of the largest shareholder Liansheng, Li Jilin, Wang Guibing and Niu Fen.

After everyone gathered, chatted a few words, Zhang Yunqi took the lead in speaking, he didn't have too many polite words, and went directly to the topic: "I will first talk about the general direction of the cooperative, this matter was also mentioned in the meeting with the Fengyang County Government, and now set a tone, starting from next year, soybeans, peanuts, rapeseed oil and other raw materials will be planted in the form of underwriting contracts for farmers in other villages in Longwan Town." As the old saying goes, you can't chew more if you are greedy, and everyone earns money together. Our village still has to grasp the development of characteristic industries, so as to have a competitive advantage, the characteristic industries are mainly three plates, one is Fangyuan pepper, one is Linwu duck, and one is Fengyang jar meat. ”

Zhang Yunqi said: "When it comes to the specific level, my idea is this, the cooperative should set up subsidiaries and engage in two sets of professional operation teams, one is responsible for the planting base and the other is responsible for the breeding base. The name of our cooperative has been clearly stated, the joint-stock cooperative, it is like a board of directors, in addition to the major shareholder of Liansheng, there are dozens of small shareholders, but the problem is that at the moment these shareholders are all farmers in the village, they do not have much culture, they are limited to the operation mechanism of the cooperative, they have relatively large power, they are free to withdraw, and they usually like to interfere in the work of Uncle Navy. Of course, this is not to look down on the people in our village, just on the matter, we have to go on the scale, engage in scientific breeding, management and production by soil method will definitely not work, we must make this piece independent, invite professionals to do professional things, so as to truly realize the cooperatives + company + production base and cooperatives + underwriting contract + farmers scattered two sets of industrial operation mode. ”

"The third point is the problem of the production base, the transfer of land to expand the base of the matter to be implemented as soon as possible, the current 1000 acres of pepper production base is too small, our pepper yield per mu is about 400 kilograms on average, 1000 acres is 400 tons, next year Longjingyuan to how many peppers do not have a specific number, but there will be no less than 1300 tons, three times more, and most of this year's peppers are from the supplier to take the goods, next year the bulk will be handed over to the cooperatives, as for the specific production and operation of the breeding base, I am a layman, will not be too involved, or that sentence, professionals do professional thingsWe want to recruit experts and professionals in a large area of breeding and breeding, I come to Yunxi Village once or twice a year, what I can do for the cooperative is to support you in people, money, and the company's strategic planning, and some ideas may not necessarily be right, how to implement it, or it depends on you. ”

That's all Zhang Yunqi has to say.

The boss of the enterprise, in fact, is mainly a channel, building a team, setting a strategy, leading the team, letting them make a fortune, and making a profit by the way. He really has to do it himself, and if he doesn't do it, he will be tired to death. However, his remarks set the tone for the next development of Yunxi Village Cooperative, first, the focus of the cooperative's work has shifted to the business of scattered farming of farmers in Quanlongwan Town, and second, the cooperative will not participate in the specific work of the planting base and breeding base in the future, and will set up a new company to operate and manage, and the third is to recruit talents.

According to these three general directions, a group of big men in the conference room of the cooperative discussed until the sky was dark, except for Li Jilin, a serious senior manager, all present were born in mud legs, which is also the reason why Zhang Yunqi wants to operate the production base independently, but this does not hinder their enthusiasm, because they have a pulse, the income of the planting base is to fall on the heads of the cooperative and the villagers, and Yunxi Village wants to engage in its own township enterprises, which is always a good thing.

In the evening, I still had dinner at Zhang Haijun's house.

It was very lively, two tables were opened in the hall, and Zhang Yunqi went out to hang out after eating.

There is a threshing floor not far from the door, at night the village children like to run and play there, the first time I saw and Chunlan chatting under the grape trellis in the small courtyard, Ji Ling took Xiaoxiao and the beginning of the heart to jump the grid in the threshing floor, although the time has reached more than eight o'clock in the evening, but it is not dark, the sky is full of stars, the wind on the summer night is warm, Zhang Yunqi heard the crisp laughter of the girls.

He entered the door and took a blanket and draped it on Chu Jian, who was sitting in the rocking chair: "It's windy outside at night, and your body is not yet well, go into the house early to rest, and I'll go to Ji Ling's place for a walk." ”

When she first saw Chunlan, who was pouting next to her, her little face turned red, and she said softly: "Yunqi, you and Ji Ling will come back early." ”

"Yes. Zhang Yunqi waved his hand, then went to the threshing floor with a smile under the big eyes of his sister Chunlan, sat on the haystack, looked at the little jumping lattice, and said to Ji Ling: "Listen to your father, you are going to study in the provincial capital?"

Ji Ling looked at him sideways, under the bright moonlight, his delicate little face was covered with sweat, his skin was white, and he was very bright: "Comrade Ji asked you to persuade me?"

Zhang Yunqi waved his hand: "Your father told me about this, but I don't think there is any need to persuade it." ”

Ji Ling snorted and leaned over: "Why?"

Zhang Yunqi turned over and said with a smile: "I remember such a story, there was a fisherman who laughed at a rich man who was on vacation on the seaside and said: Even if you are a billionaire, don't you bask in the sun and fish on the beach every day like me? These are two completely different lives, so I think Xiao Ji should also have the freedom to make his own choices. ”

Ji Ling tilted his head and thought for a moment, then squinted and smiled, and stretched out his hand to scratch Zhang Yunqi's hair: "It makes sense, classmate Xiao Zhang, what do you want to watch?"
