Originally, at this time, Li Huayong was still hesitating about the location of the factory, until an incident in the county seat, something related to the marble mine, finally prompted Li Huayong to make up his mind.

Li Huayong came to the county seat and first found Chen Ting and others and asked about the marble export.

"Chen Sheng, how are the various procedures for that marble mine going now?"

"The export procedures have been completed, and Director Zhang of the Provincial Economic and Trade Commission has personally observed that these procedures have been green and unimpeded. ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Li Huayong's mouth, this matter was expected by him, because there are many things in this world that are the same, as long as the two sides have common interests, then cooperation will usually be smoother. For example, about these marbles, "export to earn foreign exchange" is the biggest interest between themselves and the country, so this part of the procedures will not encounter much problem.

"What about the procedures for opening the mine, and how are these procedures going now?"

"This part of the formalities is now experiencing a little problem. ”

"Oh!?"

"Ah Yong is like this, we proposed to the local government according to your intentions that we were ready to win the mining rights of this marble mine by way of land contracting, but such a plan has not been passed so far. ”

Li Huayong was a little strange: "Well? This is a very common practice in China, how can this not work? Could it be that other places are stuck, or are you prescribing other harsh conditions? Didn't I explain to you before, in cooperation with the mainland government, there are some things that really don't need to be taken care of, especially such resource minerals, where we can make concessions, we can make concessions, and now the focus is on getting the mining rights down, and then we can talk about it, only in this way can we make money legally." Flash."

Li Huayong felt strange, and at this time Chen Ting showed a strange expression: "It's not like this, we didn't attach any other harsh conditions, Ah Yong won't tell you, these days I also inquired about the bottom line of the government, if I really want to say it, the conditions on the government's side are actually higher than the bottom line on our side, which can make us make more money, but I don't know why, they just don't agree with our plan." ”

"Huh! That's weird, how can this be?"

"I can't say that either. Chen Ting said as he handed Li Huayong two folders:

"This is what we negotiate with the government these days, one is our own plan, and the other is the government's conditions, as for where the problem is, Ayong, you should see for yourself. ”

"I'll see. ”

Li Huayong took the two folders from Chen Ting's hand and began to browse, and after roughly scanning them, Li Huayong felt a sense of irony, but after laughing, Li Huayong fell into deep thought.

For this marble mine, Li Huayong originally thought very well, and he was ready to use the usual practice in later generations to obtain the mining rights of this marble mine in the way of "land contracting". To put it simply, Li Huayong is ready to "contract" those mountains, and in the first phase, he is ready to contract for 30 years, and then pay the state contract fee every year, so as to obtain the legal right to operate this marble mine.

As for the specific contracting costs, to tell the truth, Li Huayong really has a conscience in this matter. He briefly took a look at Chen Ting's conditions for the government, but in fact, all of this was his own meaning. To put it simply, if you hand over this marble mine to yourself, then in the next 30 years, for every piece of marble sold, the benefits will be roughly divided between the individual and the state. Even from a certain point of view, if according to the contract proposed by Li Huayong, the state actually gets more benefits than the individual, after all, there are costs for mining and processing, and the contract stipulates that all costs will be borne by the individual.

It must be admitted that such conditions are already very conscientious, Li Huayong really can't think of any contract that can be more conscientious than his own, to be honest, it is this kind of marble mine, Li Huayong knows the huge profits in it, so he dares to offer such generous conditions.

However, it is a pity that such a contract that seems to be so "conscientious" was actually vetoed by the government.

So why did the government refuse? Li Huayong also looked at the conditions offered by the government, and on the surface, the situation seems to be really as Chen Ting said, and the conditions on the government's side seem to be even more favorable than his own bottom line.

The government promised to mine this marble mine, promised to operate this marble mine, and they even gave themselves the right to franchise foreign trade, from the point of view of income distribution, the conditions on the government's side are also more favorable, if the implementation of the government's terms and conditions, then in the future, every piece of marble sold, the income distribution is about 64 between themselves and the government.

The only insistence of the government is that they are not prepared to "contract" the marble mine to Li Huayong, but hope to develop the marble mine in a way similar to "cooperative management".

"Strange, isn't it very common to contract? How could they disagree? ”

Chen Ting said next to him: "I don't know, but once I occasionally heard Director Zhang of the Provincial Economic and Trade Commission say this, he said that since the discovery of this marble mine, those hills are no longer ordinary rural land, but belong to resource minerals, and there is no precedent for contracting resource minerals to private individuals, so they dare not open this opening." ”

After listening to Chen Ting's words, Li Huayong was silent. At this time, he remembered that he had accidentally walked to the "forefront of the times" again. Chen Ting's words just now should be the correct solution, don't look at our country's reform and opening up from 78 years, "contracting" is the most important keyword in the early days of reform and opening up, from the blood book of those farmers in Xiaogang Village, to the first batch of people in the early reform and opening up such as Ma Shengli, their deeds are almost all related to "contracting".

However, Chen Ting was right just now, or he was not wrong in conveying what Deputy Director Zhang said, if the "resource minerals" in this marble mine are contracted, then this kind of minerals is contracted to individuals, and the country has really not come to this point at present.

Take the most familiar "coal boss" as an example, is there a "coal boss" in China at present?

Well, our country is so big, Li Huayong believes that at this time, there should already be coal bosses in China. However, Li Huayong also believes that even if the supernatural powers are as vast as the "coal bosses", they should be in the sneaky stage at this time, right?

Although it only takes a few years for such people to gain legal status and become popular in the country.

"What about yourself? Do you wait for the policy to be relaxed, or do you seek some kind of change at this time?"

Just as Li Huayong was groaning, Chen Ting opened his mouth and asked:

"Ah Yong, what should we do now?"

Li Huayong waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about this, let's wait for a while, and wait until I think of a solution." ”

That night, Li Huayong stayed in the county seat and didn't go anywhere, and he began to think about how to solve this problem, but unfortunately he had no clue for the time being.

The next day, Li Huayong accompanied the Lin Wei sisters back to Lijiaao, and he continued to think about this issue. Seeing Li Huayong's sad appearance, Lin Wei was a little puzzled:

"I really don't know what you're thinking, don't people just won't let you contract, what's there to worry about? Since the conditions offered by them are better, I think they will follow the contract they have drawn up. ”

Li Huayong smiled: "You don't understand"

didn't expect such a sentence to cause Lin Lianhua to be angry. You must know that Lin Wei hated Li Huayong the most in the past was that Li Huayong looked down on her, so she always felt that Li Huayong's self-righteous smile was very annoying, but now it's okay, this guy just said that he didn't understand.

"Say it again!"

Li Huayong smiled bitterly, seeing that Lin Lianhua's reaction was so fierce, how could he not know that he had said the wrong thing. However, there is no way, regarding the problem he is worried about, he really thinks that Lin Wei, who was born in Xiangjiang, may be difficult to understand.

"Lotus, you've probably heard of the term 'original sin', right?"

"Original sin?" is a Christian legend, what's wrong?"

Li Huayong nodded: "Since you know this, it seems that you still know something about this word, let me tell you, I have actually been thinking about the issue of original sin for the past two days." ”

"Hey, you're fine, what are you doing with this kind of thing?"

Li Huayong sighed, looked up into the distance, where Li Huayong stood, he could vaguely see the marble mine, and see the brilliant and dazzling colors of those superb marbles.

"Lotus, don't you know, the problem we are encountering now is actually an original sin problem, and it is the biggest original sin problem in the domestic system. ”
