"I drank it last night! These people are so good at drinking, I can't resist it, and I don't know what happened next. When Qi Tianxiang saw Xu Fang coming, he smiled and said, "I didn't expect you, an old fellow, to be quite strong in combat effectiveness." ”

"Don't talk about it, I was drunk last night, and when I went back, I fell asleep on the bed, and I didn't know anything." Xu Fang held Qi Tianxiang's outstretched hand tightly, and said with a little guilt: "Otherwise, I can still ask the governor to wait for me, it should be me waiting for you!" ”

Qi Tianxiang smiled meaningfully, looked at Xu Fang and said sincerely: "It's all the same, don't be so polite." Everyone is here, let's get in the car and go! ”

Qi Tianxiang spoke, motioned to Xu Fang to get on the bus first, and seeing his refusal look, he smiled and took the lead in boarding the medium-sized bus, sat in the middle position, and watched Xu Fang and Zhou Tong, Xiang Youzhi, as well as Xiao Zhang and Xu Fang's secretary Xiao Liu get into the car, find a place to sit down, and then said to Xu Fang gently: "According to what we discussed yesterday, let's go directly to the Heyang County National Reserve and gather with them wherever we go." ”

Xu Fang nodded and didn't speak, this is all a good thing said yesterday afternoon, originally Qi Tianxiang wanted to convene a meeting with the Hehai Branch of the Central Reserve, the Provincial Department of Agriculture, the Provincial Agricultural Bank, the Agricultural Development Bank and other units, but later dismissed the idea, and decided to hold an on-site meeting at the National Grain Reserve in the morning. It was supposed to arrive early, but I drank a little too much last night, and I still arrived a little later than Qi Tianxiang.

Looking at Qi Tianxiang is expression, he didn't seem to care much about this, after all, it was still early, and it wouldn't take much time to get to the grain reserve in Heyang County.

In fact, just as Xu Fang's judgment was, under the guidance of the police car, the convoy formed by the medium-sized buses and the news interview vehicles of the provincial TV station and the provincial newspaper arrived at the reserve smoothly without any obstacles. On the road, it only stopped before entering the boundary marker in Heyang County, and Feng Juncai and Yao Ling of the Heyang County Party Committee and County Government greeted them here, and after a simple greeting, the convoy continued to hurry, until it stopped in front of the reserve depot, and then met the person in charge of the Hehai Branch of China Grain Reserves and several units participating in the on-site meeting.

After Qi Tianxiang and Xu Fang got out of the car, they shook hands with Wang Shengli, general manager of China Grain Reserve Hehai Branch, Yang Jun, general manager of the Provincial Supply and Marketing Association, Tang Pengshan, president of the Agricultural Bank of China, and Xie Mingli, president of the Agricultural Development Bank, and then slowly walked into the door of the reserve, under the guidance of Wang Shengli, looked at several warehouses one by one, and listened to the director of the warehouse introduce the reserve and safety precautions of the warehouse.

"The warehouse is a reserve of materials, and there is no place for us to rest, so I think we will be the first stop on the scene, so we can only stand on this empty field." Qi Tianxiang looked around at everyone, as if laughing at himself, and said as if teasingly: "But it's really good, according to my assumption, when the price of corn is at a low point, these empty fields should be temporary hoards for storing grain, and we shouldn't even have a place to stand." ”

Qi Tianxiang's words are unknown, no one knows what he will say when he comes down, except for a slight laughter, no one answers, this is also the situation that Qi Tianxiang wants to see, the provincial government suddenly decided to hold an on-site meeting here, several seemingly unrelated units got together, and most of them are stationed agencies, no bit of prestige is not at all, and such a prestige not only has a certain deterrent effect, in fact, the greater significance, or through the spread of news units, to form a momentum, to transmit a signal, This is the real purpose of the on-site meeting.

"But looking at the management and storage of the warehouse, I am very satisfied, if the grain that farmers have worked so hard to grow cannot be well kept here, mildew or rat infestation, it will be a sad thing!" Qi Tianxiang looked at Wang Shengli with his eyes, and said gently: "The summer grain is about to be opened, this is the most critical period of the year, for the farmers, most of the year's hard work and sweat will be compensated, and the joy is needless to say." Whether the joy of farmers can be transformed into real income, this is a problem that I and Governor Xu Fang are concerned about, and whether the warehousing enterprises can successfully open a position to acquire, what kind of problems do the funds and warehouse capacity, let's find a way to solve it together, today there are enterprises participating in the on-site meeting, there are also banks, and the person in charge of the local government, which needs to be solved by the provincial government, or the bank and the local government to coordinate and solve, let's sit down and negotiate to solve. ”

"Thank you very much for the care and support of Governor Qi, Vice Governor Xu, Secretary-General Zhou and all the leaders, and thank you for your presence. After a short silence, Wang Shengli gradually recovered his nature, and he also had some understanding of the scene arranged by Qi Tianxiang, so he looked at Qi Tianxiang and said with a smile: "We are very moved to get the attention of so many leaders and friends, and I will report the basic situation of our Hehai branch to the leaders." ”

After seeing Qi Tianxiang slightly bowed his head in agreement, Wang Shengli adjusted his thoughts and said slowly: "Our branch is mainly responsible for the national grain reserve and transshipment tasks, and there are twelve such standard warehouses in the province, as well as several transit warehouses, which can basically meet the purchase and storage needs of agricultural products throughout the province, mainly grain crops. Over the years, with the steady development of Hehai agriculture, especially the harvest of agricultural products, we have completed the collection and storage tasks assigned by the state well, and have been rewarded and commended by the state for many times. ”

"But with the grain production year after year of bumper harvest, our storage pressure is also increasing, the problem of insufficient warehouse capacity is becoming more and more serious, although the state continues to increase investment, new and rebuilt several warehouses, and Huayi, Hexi, Pingchuan and other three transit warehouses to upgrade and transform into a standard million-ton warehouse, but it is still far from meeting the needs." Wang Shengli said to himself, with an anxious and helpless look on his face: "Moreover, after the marketization, grain production and sales have entered a disorderly state, and enterprises are under great pressure to purchase and store, not only to safeguard the interests of grain farmers, but also to ensure the country's food security, but also to prevent losses caused by price fluctuations. We are bearing tremendous internal and external pressures, especially since last autumn, due to the province's large-scale corn harvest and the poor channels for grain transfer, a large backlog has been generated, and not only is it difficult to guarantee prices, but also a large amount of storage capacity is still occupied so far, which has brought great difficulties to this year's summer grain purchases. ”
