Chapter 80: The Mayor's Visit
For news reporters, this is the best topic, coupled with the recent hot greenhouse vegetable planting training of Feiyang Agricultural Company, it can be said that there are faint signs of driving the economy of the entire surrounding area, which is a more remarkable thing, has attracted the attention of the relevant departments of the province. In this land, if not to mention that there is no one to come, at least there is no one before.
Vice Mayor Tang Xiaotian had been to Xingfu Village, and like the poor and backward villages in other parts of Northeast China, there were low and dilapidated grass houses everywhere, and cattle and horses pooping all over the streets.
And after a few months, looking at Xingfu Village again, it became a little difficult for him to admit that there were originally about 300 households in the village, but there were only 20 or 30 brick houses at that time. And this time, on both sides of the road, I saw at least 70 or 80 families building new houses! Red bricks were piled up all over the avenue, as if this village was a huge construction site, and every household was building new houses.
There are more than a dozen small shops, and there is one almost two steps away, and it seems that business is good, and people are constantly coming in and out. The cattle and horses that were originally common on the loess road have also quietly decreased a lot, and they have been replaced by a very luxurious gadget of this era - motorcycles.
"What a magical boy!" Tang Xiaotian couldn't help but admire in his heart, a child can bring such a huge change to his hometown, even if he is a deputy mayor with a background in finance, he can't do it.
Although many leaders in the county and township have always known about Feiyang Agricultural Company, they do not know the real person in charge of Feiyang.
Because Xiao Guodong has always been in charge of the diplomacy of Feiyang Agricultural Company, Xiao Yang's attitude towards various activities has always been to avoid it, and he is unwilling to let his exposure be too high, he is still a child. More space is needed. Therefore, most of the rumors that the leaders of the county and township thought that the boss behind Feiyang was a teenager was wrong, and they didn't take it seriously. Come to think of it, normal people would not believe that a company with an investment of millions of dollars would be tossed by a teenager alone.
Because he had already received Xiao Yang's instructions in advance. The people interviewed by the company all avoided the matter of the company's boss, and when they asked in a hurry, they pushed it to Xiao Guoliang, who took care of his wife on the mountain, after all, he was the legal person, and the reporters had to follow Vice Mayor Tang, and it was not good to go to the mountain to find Xiao Guoliang for verification.
In fact, the reporters didn't hear much about Xiao Yang, but they were curious about how a farmer could create such a miraculous enterprise, and simply wanted to interview the founder of this company.
Xiao Guodong appeared in front of the leaders with a spring breeze. Deputy Mayor Tang Xiaotian knew him, walked over, shook hands with Xiao Guodong, and then said meaningfully: "Township Chief Xiao, your nephew, amazing!"
"He is a child, and not all of them are taken care of by the leaders. Xiao Guodong said modestly with a smile on his face. He understood, if it weren't for Xiao Yang's sake. I'm afraid Mayor Tang Xiaotian won't know who he is, look at what Mayor Tang says to him. The expressions on the faces of the county leaders.
At the same time, Xiao Yang was mixed in with the villagers who came to see the excitement, and when he saw Tang Xiaotian shaking hands with the four masters quite meaningfully, Xiao Yang couldn't help but smile bitterly. Vice Mayor Tang will be a man, and he will give him all the benefits he can give himself, and the rest, if he doesn't know how to do it, he will inevitably be a little too ignorant.
"Xiao Yang Yang, we all know that this company was founded by you, why don't you go up and speak? And the TV station was there! How awesome!" A neighbor uncle looked enviously at Xiao Guodong who was speaking above, turned his head and said to Xiao Yang beside him.
"Uncle Zhang. I can eat more, I can't talk nonsense, this company is my father's, I'm just a child, just in junior high school. Xiao Yang said with a grin.
Uncle Zhang, the neighbor, sighed, turned his head and continued to watch the excitement, in his heart, he could never understand why he had the opportunity to be famous, and this kid didn't go up.
The unexpected visit of the deputy mayor made those people from all over the country who had been trained here very excited, and they all came out to stand in the square of Feiyang Company and wait for the mayor to speak.
Tang Xiaotian stood at the gate of Feiyang Agricultural Company, looked up at the clear blue sky, and felt the scorching heat of the sun, at this time, a township cadre stretched out an umbrella and blocked his head. Tang Xiaotian was a little surprised, and glanced at the person who was holding an umbrella for himself. He is not very old, he is only twenty-five or sixteen years old, with a flattering smile on his face, and he is neatly dressed, but there is something annoying in his eyes, this kind of thing Tang Xiaotian is very familiar with.
"Young man, thank you, take the umbrella away, it's a hot day, the big guys can bask here, I'm not a little girl, how can I be so delicate." ”
Mayor Tang Xiaotian's words drew laughter from the people in the square, and then unanimously applauded in support. This township cadre is neither advancing nor retreating, he blushed and stood there embarrassed.
Tang Xiaotian's voice was loud, holding a portable radio speaker, and said: "Folks, I am from Jiangcheng City, I am Tang Xiaotian, the deputy mayor of Jiangcheng, and I came to our Happy Village today, because I heard that this Feiyang Agricultural Company here has recently engaged in some kind of training, and even attracted people who are not from our Jiangcheng City, and the city cares about you very much, so come and have a look, and ask everyone today, do you need help from the city?"
"Let's make tuition cheaper!"
The crowd suddenly shouted such a loud voice, which was quite loud, and there was a burst of laughter at once, but most of the laughter was good-natured, and they all knew that what people taught you was doing? It was a technique to make money! Don't see that there are a lot of people studying here, but once they disperse back to various places, no one will affect anyone at all. As long as you are willing to work hard after completing this study, there is basically no one who does not make money.
Tang Xiaotian's serious face showed a smile: "I can't help you with this problem, you have to talk to the boss of the company." On behalf of the city, I would like to ask you, do you think studying this here will help you in your life?"
There was also a spare loudspeaker below that was passed to the hands of a student representative, and when he saw the camera of the TV station pointed at him, the representative's expression and voice were seriously out of shape, and his speech was a little unfavorable: "That...... This one. Today, it's hot!"
Seeing the lively crowd laughing even harder, a woman in her thirties next to the student snatched the radio speaker, and the muttered words came out of the open speaker: "Finish the calf thing." It's nothing, and it's not even good to say a word. ”
Suddenly, when she heard her own voice coming out, the female student blushed, but she still said very calmly: "Mayor Tang, what you said is the right place, let me tell you, the boss of this company is a good person! Of course, learning this will help my life? I am Chinese New Year's Eve five years old today, and I have been for as long as I can remember. I haven't eaten greens in winter, and every winter there are three things - radish, potatoes, and sauerkraut. Last winter, the shopkeeper of my family came here to buy two catties of leeks, and they gave our mother and mother the fragrant food, licking their mouths, and I thought at that time, if I could grow this vegetable, it would be good, what an expensive pound of that! Maybe I won't be able to learn it, I don't see it that way. If you want to make money, can you do it without paying a little? Can't you learn? You can't learn it, it's your own stupidity!
The eldest sister of the female student was not rough in her words, and she said a lot, so that everyone around her nodded and praised. These words touched the hearts of all those who came to study. Even if there are more greenhouses and the price of vegetables is cheaper, after all, it is still profitable, and leeks in summer are more than a pound? No one wants five cents, and in winter they are more expensive? No matter how cheap they are, they have to buy one or two pieces of them! That thing is easy to serve, and the stubble grows quickly, and 70 percent of the people who come here to study want to go back to grow leeks!
Tang Xiaotian nodded, with a thin bead of sweat on his forehead. He has more important things to do here today. I have to find Xiao Yang's little slippery head and talk about it in detail. So after encouraging these students again, he turned around and walked into the reception room of Feiyang Agricultural Company.
A few years of this big scene. Jiang Dong, who had just sat as the general manager for a few days, was a little unable to cope with it, he was a college student from an authentic peasant family, although he had been the president of the student union in the department at school, but he had seen so many big leaders, and seeing that those people didn't take him very seriously, Jiang Dong was even more nervous.
"Hey, who's that, yes, say you, what else can you see!" A township leader Niu shouted at Jiang Dong: "Quickly call your company boss out, what a big score, the mayor is still grinding when he comes!"
Jiang Dong knew this person, a secretary of the township government, surnamed Wang, who was about to help Mayor Tang with an umbrella just now.
A while ago, when Xiao Yang went to the provincial capital, he came to the company to fight the autumn breeze a few times, but Xiao Yang explained, called Xiao Guodong for small things, and looked for him directly for big things. Jiang Dong didn't bother Xiao Guodong, and took a lot of fresh vegetables from the company and gave them to Secretary Wang. There is only one sentence for him, he likes to be greedy and cheap.
"Good ground. Although Jiang Dong is young, he also knows the truth that the king of Hades is easy to mess with little ghosts, and he doesn't take Secretary Wang's attitude too seriously, this kind of person is completely two extremes from Xiao Shao's kind of person, one is too serious about himself, and the other is too serious about himself.
Secretary Wang glared at Jiang Dong in disgust, and said in his heart, "What's the matter, isn't it just a stinky employee in a small rural company?"
"Hurry up!" Secretary Wang urged impatiently.
In fact, Jiang Dong didn't know where Xiao Yang would go, the little boss was better than a mouse, this kind of hypocritical scene ran faster than anyone else, Jiang Dong was also a little anxious, and glanced at Secretary Wang: "If you are in a hurry, you can find it yourself!"
"Oh, I said you're quite capable of pretending, do you know what I'm doing?" Secretary Wang glared at Jiang Dong, and was about to reprimand when he heard a loud voice from behind.
"Tell me, what are you doing? How can it be your turn to shout here!"
Looking back, it was Vice Mayor Tang Xiaotian holding a teenage child with one hand, looking at him expressionlessly, and the child was still reluctant, as if it was a shame to be held by the mayor. Secretary Wang broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly said, "Hello Mayor Tang, I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm joking." ”
Tang Xiaotian glanced at him lightly and ignored him, and turned his head to show a smile: "Little guy, it's not easy to catch you, if I hadn't seen you when I was talking just now, and you ran away, today we have to talk about it, and by the way, how about it?"
Xiao Yang had a helpless expression on his face. "Uncle Tang, you are a big official, of course you have the final say, but I can say okay. It's only a working meal made in the company's kitchen. Passing by Jiang Dong's side, Xiao Yang whispered: "Don't bother with that SB, let him roll the calf, where is the cool, remember, this is Feiyang Company, you are the boss here!"
Jiang Dong suddenly felt like crying, and nodded vigorously.
Tang Xiaotian also heard Xiao Yang's instigation. After entering Xiao Yangdi's office, he said with a smile: "No wonder you can succeed as a kid, you even have your own set of winning people's hearts." ”
"Uncle Tang smiled when he saw it, how can I compare with you with my little Taoism, you didn't look at a few words on your stage, and the people below spoke passionately. Xiao Yang said with a smile, not at all restrained by the fact that it was the mayor sitting opposite him, in fact, only he knew. The whole back was already wet.
It's hot, right. It's hot.
Xiao Yang took out two glasses of chilled water from the refrigerator and said with a smile: "Uncle Tang must be thirsty, try my chilled water, this is water from a spring in the mountain." I don't drink it to ordinary people!"
Tang Xiaotian took the cup without pretentiousness and took a big sip, the cold spring water refreshed people's hearts and lungs, let out a sigh, and said: "Comfortable! Boy, come, tell me your plan first, how did a good company suddenly become a training base?"
"Is it for the benefit of the common people?" Xiao Yang replied with a smile, and then continued: "I guess you don't believe this reason." Then I said that I am going to make high-quality vegetables, you should always be a little interested, right?" said as he took out a document from the drawer and handed it to Tang Xiaotian.
"Hmm. Uncle Tang, look at it. This is the information I sorted out about pollution-free vegetables, and the development of green and healthy food is the way the company will take in the future. I need your support. ”
Tang Xiaotian is different from ordinary people, as soon as he heard the words pollution-free and green and healthy food, he suddenly became energetic, took the material, looked at it carefully page by page, and nodded from time to time, his face became more and more solemn, and he slapped his thigh at the end, and said excitedly: "Great! It's really a whimsy, there are ideas, you really have ideas! Your high-end route is really wonderful!" said and gave Xiao Yang a thumbs up without hesitation.
"Many of the ideas you put forward here, in fact, the Ministry of Agriculture has already put forward, but there is no way, now the vegetable basket project has not completely solved the problem of the people's difficulty in eating vegetables, and they are eager to make the vegetables that originally bear three crops a year become ten stubbles, and they can't take into account too many health things. And you do it differently, you are a private enterprise, if you only do high-end, I think, in the future, there will even be opportunities to export to Russia, Japan and South Korea. The more Tang Xiaotian spoke, the more excited he became, "Xiao Yang, do it, Uncle Tang will give you the greatest support! You want the place to the place, and you want the talent to the talent, I see the structure of your company, all of them are young people, although they are vibrant, but many things are not solved by young people, don't you look at it just now, your general manager can't even solve a small officer in the township, it's still too immature!"
"Uncle Tang, do you think about it...... Mix sand with me, then I won't do it, just say it in advance!" Xiao Yang looked at Tang Xiaotian with a puzzled face.
"You stinky boy, what are you doing if you watch too many TV series, what kind of sand did I mix," Tang Xiaotian said with a smile: "I mean let you recruit some experienced talents, I originally wanted to give you a few technicians from the Agricultural Bureau, look at your attitude of distrusting the government......"
"Anything else, what are you doing as an adult, regardless of villains, and like a child with me? Aren't I just afraid, the Cultural Revolution didn't have many teenagers, so I was afraid that someone would come to raid my house." Xiao Yang said with a half-truthful smile.
Tang Xiaotian raised his eyebrows, of course, he was no stranger to that period of history, and couldn't help but smile: "Whoever dares to treat you as a child is a fool." Don't go around ***, I'm itching, tell me quickly, what are your specific implementation steps?"
"Taking advantage of the current training, I am going to build a large-scale modern breeding base on the mountain, this, how much the government can help, I don't have much luxury, the problem of electricity is estimated to let you help solve the problem, right?" Xiao Yang asked.
"That's no problem, I've already communicated with your county's electricity bureau before coming this time, and they will report this matter to the next few days, and then we'll send a letter to the provincial power department, promising that the city will pay the money." Tang Xiaotian frowned, obviously dissatisfied with today's cumbersome mechanism.
"That's good, it must be industrial electricity, and it can't be cut off for me," Xiao Yang looked at Tang Xiaotian: "Power outages are quite common now, but the electricity I want is not pulled from a civil telephone pole, and it must be connected to an industrial special line." ”
Tang Xiaotian hesitated, he really hadn't thought about this, nodded and said, "Okay, anyway, the city has decided to support you, and this request will meet you." ”
"That's good, in the village of this vegetable planting base, just a small fight, a branch, in the mountains to establish that comprehensive breeding base is the main thing, covering a variety of animal husbandry, deep processing of agricultural products, wild mushroom breeding, etc., from production to sales, I want to carry out one-stop service. To put it simply, I raised a pig, from breeding to slaughtering, to transportation, all of which are completed by me, and all sales, including sales in various places, are also completed by Feiyang Agricultural Company!" Xiao Yang recounted his ambitions unhurriedly, and Tang Xiaotian gasped when he heard it.
In the summer, the heat outside is unbearable, but Tang Xiaotian feels cooler than drinking two bottles of cold beer at the moment, as the deputy mayor in charge of commerce, he has just roughly calculated that if all these things that Xiao Yang said are realized, then the first super agricultural group in Jiangcheng City is about to be born!
Thinking of this, Tang Xiaotian couldn't sit still, with the current courage of Feiyang Agricultural Company, I believe that it won't be long before it will become Feiyang Agricultural Group, and I have to go back to say hello to other leaders in the city to see how much support the city can give them. In his attitude toward private enterprises, Tang Xiaotian has always tried his best to support them, but there is no way, this place is poor and bad, and it is difficult to attract investment! It is easy to have a local entrepreneur, and he absolutely does not allow the phenomenon of enterprises being knocked down by the government system without being overturned by the waves of the economic tide.
The outside news media also made enough news this time, and through interviews with the villagers, they got a lot of information about Feiyang Agricultural Company, and all of them were praises. This is actually not difficult to understand, Feiyang company has driven the economy of the village and made everyone rich, the common people are so simple, whoever gives me a good life is a good person.
The leaders of the county and the township were arranged to drink tea in the reception room of Feiyang Company, and many leaders who came here for the first time were impressed by the courage of Feiyang Company. The leather sofa under the buttocks, the good mahogany desk, and even the tea set are expensive, and the living room is simple and atmospheric, reflecting that the founder of this company is not only a rich man, but also not comparable to those who are old and immature in their eyes.
Jiang Dong was completely opened by Xiao Yang's words, and his subsequent performance was the same as before, and he was also calm and comfortable in front of the leaders, talking and laughing.
Secretary Wang was a little discouraged, his face was cloudy, just now he was told by the township chief, asking him to do less things to deceive the upper and lower, and to do more down-to-earth work.
This actually shows a little bit of the problem, and the township chief is beginning to be dissatisfied with him.
I talked with Vice Mayor Tang Xiaotian all morning, and it wasn't until noon that I had a meal in Xiao Yang's office, which was the employee meal of Feiyang Agricultural Company, and Mayor Tang seemed to eat quite deliciously.
It wasn't until more than two o'clock in the afternoon that he came out of Xiao Yang's office, and many of the leaders in the county and township didn't even know who Mayor Tang had been talking to for so long, and they were all dissatisfied with the staff meal at noon, feeling that Feiyang Company was too stingy, and so many leaders came and didn't know how to arrange it.
After sending off this group of officials, Xiao Yang let out a sigh of relief, patted Jiang Dong's shoulder, who also breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "It's not easy to be a leader." ”
Jiang Dong nodded wordlessly, he firmly believed that accompanying these officials today was the most difficult day in his life.
