Chapter 224: Conversation with the Secretary

"Classmate Li Liang, let's meet again!" Long Yemin waved his hand and invited everyone to sit down, personally poured a cup of tea for Li Liang, and said with a smile, "Thank you for saving our family Shaoyun last year, this year, why don't you come to the house to sit down, don't have a relationship with us, you are the great benefactor of our family, and her mother and I will always welcome you to come to the house to play!"

Song Nanyun sat on the sofa next to him, refilled Long Yemin's water, and poured a cup of tea for Long Shaoyun and himself. He was a little surprised, he didn't expect that Li Liang would actually save Long Shaoyun last year. He was only transferred from the Organization Department to the Comprehensive Section of the County Party Committee Office in the second half of last year and served as Long Yemin's full-time secretary. I don't know what happened to Long Shaoyun last summer.

"Secretary Long, you have a lot of opportunities, how dare we bother you if there is nothing to do!" Li Liang said.

"Don't call Secretary Long, call me Uncle Long, I should be a little older than your father, right?" Long Yemin said with a smile, "I was born in 35 years and am 46 years old this year. ”

"Then I'll call you Uncle Long, my father is 41 years old, and he is just 40 years old this year!" Li Liang said.

"Dad, you don't care about me anymore!" Long Shaoyun sat aside and said with a fake complaint.

"Yunyun, how did you meet Li Liang today?" said Secretary Long with a smile.

"I went out to buy something, and when I came back, I happened to run into Li Liang!" Long Shaoyun said.

Long Shaoyun went to high school in Gangshan No. 1 Middle School, where the district administration is located, and usually lives in the school, but now he will live at home during the summer vacation. Her home is in the compound of the county party committee, which is very large, with an administrative office building in front and four family buildings side by side.

Most of the in-service and retired cadres of the county party committee and county government organs live in these four family homes, and Long Yemin, who is a high-ranking county official, is naturally no exception.

"Uncle Long, I'm here this time to report something to you!" Li Liang didn't say too much greetings, and directly stated the purpose of this trip.

"You say!" Long Yemin said.

Li Liang then told Long Yemin again about the process of contact with Hong Kong businessman Yang Zong that he had just introduced to Song Nanyun and Long Shaoyun, and the description of eight points true and two points false did not arouse Long Yemin's suspicion.

"So, is it true that Mr. Yang is going to invest 500,000 Hong Kong dollars?" Long Yemin was surprised.

"Yes, Uncle Long!" Li Liang said, "And my uncle sent a telegram back from Pengcheng, saying that Mr. Yang will come to Hekang for research in the next few days!"

At this time, Hekang County's annual financial income was not as good as before, and this money had to be paid to the county's in-service and retired cadres and workers, and to pay the basic education, agriculture, and other expenditures.

The investment of 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the investment direction is specified, which is invested in the kiwifruit industry, and in this single direction of investment, 500,000 Hong Kong dollars is not a small amount.

Kiwi Longye people have heard that when they went to the countryside in the mountains more than ten years ago, they also ate at the homes of fellow villagers. In his mind, it was a hairy, small green wild fruit with a sweet and sour taste. However, when he went to the countryside, people generally did not have enough to eat, and people did not pay attention to this kind of wild fruit that could not satisfy hunger. Except for the occasional mountain people who saw a few ripe fruits when they were mowing grass and chopping wood in the mountains, and picked them to quench their thirst, there was really no one who specially planted these things.

"Great!" Long Yemin said, "In this way, this matter will be left to our county party committee and county government to operate!"

Saying that, Long Yemin didn't wait for Li Liang to agree, so he directly arranged for Song Nanwen: "Nanwen, you go and call County Magistrate Zhang and Director Liu Kang over, and we will arrange the work!"

"Yes!" Song Nan replied yes and got up and went out.

"Uncle Long, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, right?" Li Liang said with an embarrassed face when he saw Song Nanyan go out.

"What's wrong?" asked Long Yemin.

"Mr. Yang's investment was brought over by us, and the county did this, didn't it directly pick peaches?" Li Liang frowned.

"Classmate Li Liang, you have to be conscious, don't you have such a little consciousness?" Long Yemin was a little angry, "Isn't it greater than your personal strength for our county party committee and county government to take the lead in doing this, and it can also play a greater role than investment!"

What Long Yemin said is right, this investment is led by the government, and it is indeed much better than Li Liang doing it personally. But in this way, Li Liang wanted to give priority to the second uncle Li Shuangyang's tilted abacus, and he couldn't play smoothly.

Li Liang thought for a moment and asked thoughtfully, "Uncle Long, have you ever eaten kiwifruit?"

"I've eaten it, it tastes good!" Long Yemin replied.

"Sister Shaoyun, have you eaten it?" Li Liang asked Long Shaoyun again.

Hearing Li Liang call his sister, Long Shaoyun replied happily: "No, I have never heard of this kind of fruit before!"

"Uncle Long, when have you ever eaten this fruit?, do you know its growth habits?" Li Liang asked again.

"That was more than ten years ago, in terms of habits, I haven't planted this kind of wild fruit, and I really don't know!" Long Yemin was a little stunned.

"Uncle Long, kiwifruit is a traditional wild fruit in China, and it has a very long history of being eaten by the ancients. As early as the pre-Qin period, there was a record of kiwi in the Book of Songs: 'Xi has Chang Chu (the ancient name of kiwifruit), and its branches. In addition to the Book of Songs, it is also expounded in the Erya Interpretation of Grass. Guo Pu, a famous naturalist in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, named it Yang Tao. The people in Hubei Province and some places in eastern Sichuan still call kiwifruit sheep peach.

The name kiwi did not appear until the Tang Dynasty. Tang's "Collection of Materia Medica" contains: "Kiwi fruit has a salty and warm taste, is non-toxic, can be used for medicinal purposes, mainly treats joint wind, paralysis, long-term gray hair, hemorrhoids, and so on. This shows that at least 1,200 years ago, China had already planted kiwifruit in courtyards.

Li Shizhen also described the shape of kiwifruit in the "Compendium of Materia Medica": "Its shape is like a pear, its color is like a peach, and the macaque likes to eat, so it has many names." Li Liang told Long Yemin again what he knew about kiwifruit.

Hearing this, Long Yemin and Long Shaoyun's father and daughter were shocked.

Li Liang knows that the development of kiwifruit planting industry must rely on the government's Li Liang, but also cannot be completely controlled by the government, otherwise it is likely to appear in the previous life of Xima Township, at that time, it was also under the intervention of the government, Xima Township vigorously developed the lily planting industry. As a result, under the leadership of the government, farmers blindly invested a lot of manpower and material resources to plant the lily industry, and only achieved good profits in the first two years when a large number of them were sold to Guangdong Province.

In the following year, the township government was immersed in the profits of the first two years, and did not investigate the market situation, and in the third year, the lilies produced in Hekang County were hit by the local lilies in Guangdong Province and had no market, and the farmers who planted lilies on a large scale in Xima Township were scarred.
