PS: Thank you book friends for the ruthless and unruly two monthly passes. Thanks to the book friends hjtyeyuty and Zhonghua Raul for their tips. Thank you for the ambiguous update of the ticket.
**, forty-one years old this year, is already an officer or general, the commander of the Yazhou naval base, and a well-deserved leader. In the naval circles, they are also strong figures. However, this does not mean that the big shots are free from troubles.
Over the past few years, China's economy has developed rapidly and its national strength has increased markedly, but this military expenditure has not increased at all, but has become smaller and smaller in the proportion of government expenditure, and has even reached the brink of danger. Not only has it been unable to purchase enough new equipment for the army to be upgraded, but even the basic training of officers and men has been seriously affected. Naturally, the naval vessels of the South China Sea Fleet stationed in Yazhou are also unavoidable. In the past few years, even live-fire training at sea has been reduced by more than 50 percent. As a young general, he is anxious in his eyes and in his heart, and if he continues like this, once there is a sudden war, how can the poorly trained naval officers and soldiers drive old ships that are not as good as those of European and American countries?
Moreover, those countries in the south are eyeing China's territory in the South China Sea and are doing everything possible to find excuses to occupy the country's islands in the South China Sea. And at that time, will the officers and soldiers who are not even well-trained in their own hands be able to defeat these invaders and defend the maritime frontiers of the motherland?
But no matter how anxious he is, there is no good way, after all, this army is maintained by the state's financial allocation, and the navy is a high-spending service, and a little action is a lot of fuel and ammunition costs, no matter how big the personal liliang is, he can't afford such a sky-high cost.
Over the years, we have done our best to reduce the administrative costs of the base, and to squeeze out some money for the base's ships to conduct maritime patrols and training as much as possible. And he also cobbled together some funds as much as he could, put them into business, and opened up new sources of income to obtain more profits. But after all, he is a soldier, not a businessman who is careful about budgets, and Qionghai is not an economically developed place, although he has invested in some projects, it can only be said that it is comprehensive and has a small surplus. And among them, how many of them are "charity" given by people for the sake of his position as a major general, ** I don't know. All he knew was that the feeling was upsetting him.
But he can't help but deal with those businessmen, the oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea of the entire base all need to be worried about by him, the commander, if he is a bastard and waiting for death, it will be just a person who has no ambition, anyway, the treatment that should be given to him, the state has given a penny, as for the base, it is good to maintain the surface of a donkey dung egg. But ** is not this kind of person, he hopes that these soldiers under his command can become the elite and backbone of the navy. So he had no choice
"Alas" ** walked to the window, pushed open the window, and a fishy sea breeze immediately blew in.
"Commander, Commander" Political Commissar Lu Liangxing pushed the door and entered, "Good news, good news"
"What's the good news?" ** smiled and said, "You can actually make Lao Lu so moved"
"Of course, it's good news for money, now for you, nothing is important about money," Lu Liang said with a smile.
"What's the good news for the money? It can't be that some businessman wants our special forces to be their bodyguards to support their faΓ§ade, right?" ** frowned and said, "Or someone wants us to help them dump those smuggled goods at sea." β
"I said Lao Zhao, I know you hate this kind of thing, and you won't agree to this kind of thing, how can you be bored. Lu Liang said helplessly, "But you don't know the situation of the brother military region, and this is also a helpless choice." β
"Hmph, if I hadn't known that it was a helpless choice, I would have kicked them all out at the time" ** said angrily. Although it is said that a large amount of profits can be obtained through smuggling to subsidize military spending, after all, this is to dig into the corners of the country and cause the country to lose tariffs.
Lu Liang looked at ** speechlessly, in fact, if you want to talk about smuggling, as the guardians of the southernmost sea area in China, they have great convenience by nature, if this one doesn't take this matter so seriously, this base also uses everyone to shrink their clothes and diet to have a headache for those training expenses.
"Say, what's the good news?" ** returned to his seat and said while beckoning Lu Liang to sit down.
"It's about Wuzhizhou Island, you remember that island. Lu Liang sat down.
"Wuzhizhou Island, that chicken rib in Haitang Bay?" ** is a little strange and authentic, how could he not know that island? At the beginning, it was a key defense zone in Yazhou. Before the 80s, the American fleet was on that side from time to time, but in recent years there have been few foreign ships, and the garrison on the island has been gradually reduced, and now it is more of a symbolic significance.
"It's that island, someone has taken a fancy to it, hoping to buy the right to use this island from our hands. Lu Liang said excitedly, "This is Qi Yanqi, the general manager of Xingqing Co., Ltd., who just informed me on the phone." β
"Buy the right to use that island?" ** was also taken aback, "Is it Qi Yan and them? What is the use of them wanting that island? Where is the smuggling point changed? That can't be done" **Although they agreed to turn a blind eye to Qi Yan's smuggling due to the formality, but the smuggled goods must be allowed by him, ** I don't want to let the goods that are strictly prohibited from being imported by those countries enter the country.
"No, no, no, it's not Xingqing Co., Ltd., she asked for others. Lu Liang waved his hand again and again.
"Who has that kind of leisure? If it's a foreigner, don't mention it, Lao Lu, we can't do that kind of thing," ** said coldly. Although that island is now a chicken rib for the military, it will be handed over to foreigners, and ** will not agree to anything.
"It is the Fang family, the majority shareholder of Carrefour supermarket in Qinxi Province, who intends to buy the right to use this island. After several interruptions, Lu Liang finally finished speaking.
"The Fang family, the major shareholder of Carrefour Supermarket in Qinxi Province?" ** put his chin on his hands and pondered for a long time, "Why does this company sound familiar to me? What do they want this island to do? It is thousands of kilometers away from Qinxi Province. β
"Alas, Lao Zhao, I see that you are a noble person who forgets things" Lu Liang said with a smile on his face, "Didn't you say a few months ago that it is better for a responsible company like Carrefour to open a few more, and the families of those martyrs in the army can also have more choices." It's the private company that gives priority to military and police families when recruiting employees. β
** Patting his head, he remembered that it was indeed as Lu Liang said, he had said this.
According to Qi Yan, the old man and his wife from the Fang family, the major shareholder of Carrefour Supermarket, came to Qionghai to travel, saw Wuzhizhou Island in Haitang Bay, and felt that the scenery here was beautiful and suitable for living, so they wanted to buy the right to use it from our hands. Lu Liang said with a little emotion. This is what people are more like people, angry people, they are jumping for money, they are not at peace, people are actually for a quiet place to spend their vacation, they have to pay for the right to use
**After pondering for a while, Wuzhizhou Island is the territory of the military and transferred to private individuals, although this situation is not many in recent years, but it is not uncommon. With the change of military station, it is normal for some abandoned camps or warehouses to be transferred to individuals or local governments. The state did not prohibit it. Although Wuzhizhou Island used to be the frontier of coastal defense, with the launch of satellites into the sky and the rapid development of the level of weapons and equipment of various countries, its existence no longer has much significance. If it can be leased to individuals, not only can it save the cost of garrisoning on the island, but also can make a sum of money to subsidize the base, this can be considered.
"How much are they willing to pay?"
"They were given three options. Lu Liang stretched out his finger and said.
"Three options?" is even more curious.
"The first plan is to pay one million yuan per year to the base from the date of transfer"
"A million yuan?" ** gasped, the island was only a few square kilometers, and most of the area was mountainous, covered by dense mountain forests, and the real habitability was a small piece of land in the north. The Fang family was actually willing to pay a user fee of one million yuan for this?
"One million yuan and the other party also said that this price, every five years, can be increased by 10 percent, but you must sign a 70-year use contract. Lu Liang was also quite emotional. The Fang family was very thoughtful, obviously even taking into account the factors of rising prices.
"What about the second plan?" The first plan is so lucrative, ** is even more interested in the next two.
"In the second plan, the Fang family paid 50 million yuan to the base in a lump sum. Lu Liang's voice trembled a little, 50 million yuan, such a large amount, if it is a government appropriation, it is extremely rare.
** frowned, although it was a lot less than the total income of the previous program base, but it was paid in a lump sum, and it was also a normal price. But the Fang family is willing to pay so much money for a small island?
"The third plan, according to Qi Yan, the Fang family intends to invest in Qionghai, and the target should be Yalong Bay and Haitang Bay. The base can also be regarded as the base's investment in this project. In the future, the base will be the shareholder of the project and can enjoy dividends. Lu Liang added, "What Qi Yan means is that we had better choose Zuihou, which she and the Fang family fought for." β
