Early the next morning, Qiu Qing sent an off-road jeep to pick up Gu Biao and Xiao Sui, as well as Gu Min, who returned to his hometown to be nostalgic, and went to Xiao County and Huiji for a field trip.

He was accompanied by a section chief Xu from the provincial tourism department, and a vice president Hu from the Qiantang branch of the China Construction Bank, who was in charge of financing.

Because the approval document for Gu Biao to go to the upper echelon has arrived, the foreign-funded project company has also been injected, and the actual capital injection is 10 million US dollars, which has been verified. Although the $10 million does not say that it must be spent locally and on this project, it depends on how the local government cooperates and what the investment environment is.

That's why the local community is so active.

President Hu of the CCB sub-branch had already passed the anger with the leaders before coming to this trip: if he could keep all the foreign capital of 10 million US dollars, even if he approved a low-interest loan of 200 million yuan for the project, it would be no problem.

Because the road conditions in the countryside are not good, the jeep can't even drive at a speed of 40 kilometers per hour, starting from Qiantang City, driving for 2 hours, before arriving at the county border between Xiao County and Linshi.

Along the way, there are continuous farmland, as well as the reclamation sandbar when the river has just crossed, until the front gradually undulates hills, and the mountains gradually rise, and it is estimated that there are always two or three hundred meters high from a distance.

"Gu Sheng, there is Huiji Mountain in front, there is no winding mountain road, there is really no road to open, only the dirt road stepped on by people, or stop and walk here? If a foreign-funded film company wants to imitate the scenery of the Old Summer Palace, it can't be built into the mountains, right? ”

The comrade who opened the road returned in return, Gu Biao nodded, and the convoy stopped at the last town in front of the mountain to rest.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the town, I was intercepted by the people who greeted me, and the local magistrate actually got the news in advance and came here to greet the delegation in person.

"Gu Sheng, this is the Song County Magistrate of Xiao County. Qiu Qing was more familiar with the person, so he immediately introduced it to Gu Biao.

"It's hard work for County Magistrate Song. Gu Biao said simply politely.

"Whereever, we all know Gu Sheng's origins, my brother is cheerful, so I won't follow Gu Sheng, and I also know that before you leave your job without pay, your rank is no longer under me and the enemy. "County Magistrate Song has rough hands, he seems to be from a poor background, and he doesn't know much about officialdom, he speaks very straightforwardly, and he keeps holding Gu Ao's hand and shaking it violently.

In the early 80s, there were still many such local county officials, and they were all slowly caught up by the local grassroots in their hometowns. China has a long-standing unwritten rule that chief officials at and above the prefecture and city level should be appointed in different places, but at the county level, this is not the case.

Therefore, after some county officials climbed into place, they were not young, so they did not want to take another step, and only counted on retiring in their hometowns, and their forces were intertwined. It's really promoted to them, and they want to go to a foreign land thousands of miles away, but they are not happy.

However, Gu Biao is happy to deal with such people.

"Listening to the accent, County Magistrate Song is also a local? I am also a native of Qiantang, so I will take care of it in the future. Gu Biao complimented his face and stopped there. As for the other mayors or something, he didn't bother to greet them one by one, just nodding their heads.

County Magistrate Song originally wanted to stay with the people from the city and province to dine together and take a break at noon before inspecting, but Gu Biao refused:

"It's too hot, so let's go up and have a look while it's cool in the morning." Can County Magistrate Song introduce the scenic spots and geographical locations around here? Our film company's investment in the filming base still depends on the potential of the surrounding natural tourism resources. ”

It's late August, the weather is still very hot, and the jeep has no air conditioning, so it relies on the windows open, and the wind cools down when driving.

The county magistrate Song was also as good as a stream, and personally took Gu Biao and other people to climb the mountain at the moment, and invited a few mountain people who were familiar with the road to be guides.

Don't look at the fact that County Magistrate Song is 50 years old, and climbing the mountain is not slower than a 20-year-old young man like Gu Biao, while climbing to the top of the mountain like a fly, he also pointed and introduced:

"We are already the southeasternmost part of Xiao County here, na, climb this ridge, the east side of the mountain is the Shanyin of Huiji, and the south of the mountain is the counties.

If you want to say that the scenery is too close, there is really none. Wang Xizhi's Lanting has to go east from here to Shanyin. However, the mountain road is difficult to walk, it is better to walk along the valley of Ruoye Creek from the town just now, first to the south to Diankou Town in Zhuxian, and then all the way to the east along the stream. ”

Gu Biao's gaze followed the guidance of County Magistrate Song and looked at it from a high perspective. Ten miles is a bit far away, but it is still clear at a glance from the condescending position on the mountain.

He was thinking about it, and his sister Gu Min, who was following him to the nostalgia, interjected: "County Magistrate Song, as far as I know, aren't there still the ruins of the Yue Wang's Mausoleum and the Song Liuling Tomb near Lanting?

When County Magistrate Song heard Qiu Qing's introduction just now, he did not fully understand Gu Min's identity, and thought that she was accompanying the inspection as a section chief of the provincial planning commission.

After all, the Planning Commission was the equivalent of the later National Development and Reform Commission, and it was also responsible for economic planning and could plan the layout of local industrial development. So even if Gu Min came here for official status, it definitely makes sense.

At this moment, seeing that Gu Min opened his mouth to question, Qiu Qingcai pulled County Magistrate Song and explained softly: "Section Chief Gu is not just here for work, she is Gu Sheng's sister." ”

County Magistrate Song suddenly realized, and said in his heart that the Gu family's local power was really intertwined.

Even if his younger brother quit the diplomatic department and went to sea without pay, there is still an older sister in the economic planning department of the province.

Man is better than man than dead.

However, he still showed a little shame in response to Gu Min's question: "Section Chief Gu doesn't know, the attractions of the Yue Wang's Mausoleum and Song Liuling, our older generation all know, but now it's really gone, it's been more than ten years, and now it's the Red Star Tea Field......

This matter is also karma, I know that there was originally a person named Wang Pingshan in the neighboring county, which was originally nothing, he was born in poverty, and he was originally just a local village party secretary. But in those ten years, it was also lard that blinded his heart, and he wanted to do big things and make meritorious contributions to climb up. I led people to cut those places first and then 'remove the old and welcome the new'.

At that time, the situation was also chaotic, and some people appreciated him for doing this, and said that he was dilapidated and reclaimed, and climbed from the village party secretary to the director of the state-owned tea farm, which was equivalent to the cardinal level of the commune.

Later, I heard that he colluded with himself, sold antiquities, and played with power, and used the indicators in his hands to enrich his own pockets...... In the end, retribution came, five years ago, several cases were issued, and both the father and son of the family were shot, which is considered to be out of business. At that time, I was only at the deputy county level, and I had just come up from the commune not long ago, so I had an impression. ”

County Magistrate Song was still there to show off what he had seen and heard, but when Gu Biao and Gu Min heard it, they couldn't help but laugh secretly.

"I don't need to introduce it in such detail, in fact, I also know it, because I was an educated youth there seven years ago. Gu Min interrupted with a sigh.

"The case of Wang Pingshan selling cultural relics was lifted by me, and his family died at my hands. Gu Biao also claimed it as a matter of course.

However, he only mentioned the sale of cultural relics, and did not mention what Wang Feng wanted to do to the female intellectuals.

However, as soon as the county magistrate Song heard this, he immediately connected it: Wang Pingshan's son was said to have kicked the iron plate in the end, and he tried to be rude to a well-known female intellectual, which angered the province, and it was completely exposed.

It seems that the inviolable female intellectuals are Section Chief Gu......

They have a lot of dollars in one hand and a submachine gun in the other.

It's only been a few years, and the shotgun has been replaced.

Gu Biao didn't wait for County Magistrate Song to sigh, and asked Qiu Qing: "Brother Qiu, if we want to take the opportunity to contract a few pieces of land in Shanyin for our project this time, but it is not a cinema project for the time being, but it is just a museum for public welfare or something, is the local government willing to approve it?"

You also know that to engage in the tourism and cultural industry, the most important thing is to support, and if the supporting facilities are good, there are more resources worth seeing, and the industrial park itself can be carried out. Otherwise, just having a movie theater will not have enough pulling effect. ”

Qiu Qing immediately understood: "Do you want to re-shovel the Red Star Tea Farm and restore it to the antique building of the Song Liuling? and then pay for the construction of a museum? Yes, you can, but the cultural relics have been scattered for more than ten years, and I am afraid that not much can be recovered." And museums don't make money. It's good that the little income from the ticket can pay off. ”

"It's not just to return to the capital, but more importantly, it's the cultural heritage and drainage of the industrial park. In addition, it can be regarded as a peace of mind. After all, the Old Summer Palace was built by the northern ethnic groups, and now it is favored by the relevant cultural departments, and there is no way to shoot "The Last Emperor" at the initial stage. But we Han people want to have peace of mind, and repair Song Liuling, which can be regarded as accumulating virtue to buy peace of mind. ”

Gu Biao didn't want to be scolded by the emperors in the future, in fact, the Manchu didn't care about him a dime. It's just that the background of the times is like this, and if he wants to succeed, he must take advantage of the situation.

Moreover, rich people can also do charity, he really wants to build a museum, and finally the museum can be a private and public welfare purpose, but after the Song Liuling is repaired, it must belong to the protection unit of the state, and this kind of charity is not unpopular in history.

This also has the advantage of finding a better explanation for his behavior in the sea - there are examples of wealthy merchants who went to sea because they like to collect and preserve history, and there are examples in the history of openness.

For example, Gu Biao watched the short and tight "Xiaoshuo" talk show in his later life, and interviewed a private business owner, who retired bravely in the 90s when he was in the prefecture-level city and Wuliangye City of Shu Province and was about to be promoted to the mayor.

At that time, he was the executive deputy city, and he was only in his 30s, and his career prospects were not much worse than today's Gu Biao. But just a while before he was promoted to mayor, a friend kindly reminded the man:

You are going to be the number one, and when you are the executive deputy of the executive branch, you are just in time for the renovation and demolition of the old city, and you have the power to approve land in the city. But your hobby is well-known as 'collecting'. The mayor likes to collect, and it is not a good thing to let the real estate developers know.

The man repented, and immediately the mayor quit doing it, and went to the sea to open his own real estate development company, and then concentrated on collecting modern history cultural relics, and later donated to build dozens of modern history museums.

Gu Biao drew on this example that has not yet happened, and obviously found the benefits: if he plays himself well as a collector and loves to protect ancient culture, then the long-term social reputation when he resigns in the future will be much better.

At least those who attack him "purely because he is in the eye of money, greedy for money and don't want to contribute to the country, so he doesn't do anything as an official" will be slapped in the face and shut up.

Spend a little money and manage your reputation well, why not.

Qiu Qing can roughly understand Gu Biao's plan: "Okay, then Huiji, I'll help you say, you first follow County Magistrate Song to inspect the site selection of the county's park." This side is settled first, so as to give the people next to you a chance to blush, and it is easy to persuade. ”

"Then please. ”
