On the second day after the end of the final exam, less than 20 days before the Spring Festival, Zhang Chen hurried to the county.

We ordinary people are really happy today, last county to see the world, Zhang Chen's bottom is in this mood now, humming a tune that no one understands along the way, Tan Gensheng didn't bother to take care of him, he drove by himself, his eyes stared at the front and he didn't look back.

The scenery on the side of the road regresses quickly, there are not many cars on the road at this time, except for some long-distance trucks, there are few private cars, there are a lot of motorcycles, the highway from Batou to Baichong in 97 years is still the kind of old asphalt road, the road teeth are rough, and the carved line in the middle can only see a little shadow.

It should be because the age is too long, there are potholes in the middle of the road from time to time, Tan Gensheng drives very steadily, and the speed is not fast, the road in the countryside is not like outside, the roadside is full of residents, from time to time you can see that it is not whose cat or dog is passing through, it is the bear child jumping on the road, not to mention that one accidentally hit someone, that is, hit a chicken, don't lie to you to the point that you don't want to get out.

Zhang Chen can be regarded as an out-and-out old-fashioned man, he is clear about these thoughts, what can you ask them to do in this era? To improve the su zhì or to improve the rule of law? Let's improve the economic conditions first, don't talk about anything else, don't be a big truth all day long, living in the city can only say that you are reincarnated very well, living in the countryside, then accept these folk customs that will gradually disappear with time.

So he doesn't feel strange at all when he brakes sharply from time to time, but Tan Gensheng occasionally scolds his mother angrily.

"Brother Tan, we won't come back if we can't finish things today, my dad isn't in a hurry to use the car these two days, right?"

"Don't worry, your dad told me, he will go to the village for a meeting at most in the past few days, and the stubble at home is still too busy, how can you have time to go out, and you have to sign a contract with Baihu in the past few days, so you definitely don't have to go out."

As the business of Baihu Bay is getting better and better, the fish pond that refused to sign a contract with the old Zhang family is also moved, and the fish in this fish pond are sold out of the net at most the wholesale price in the market, and it is obviously impossible to sell the fish in batches along the street with a burden, but the wholesale price is not reconciled, so before Zhang Wenlin mentioned the contract, someone has already taken the initiative to inquire about this matter with him.

Zhang Wenlin is naturally happy to talk to them, after all, the development of Baihu Bay Baihu is very important, but although the price of Baihu Bay of the old Zhang family is at least three times the wholesale price of aquatic products, the cost is also higher, so Zhang Wenlin will not say how high the price is.

According to the old Zhang's breeding plan and product budget, all the fish ponds that signed a contract with the old Zhang family, as long as the fish in the pond meet the quality requirements of Baihu Bay grilled fish, will be purchased according to the market price of 30 to 50 percent of the price, and the contracts signed are long-term years, that is to say, as long as the contract is signed, the fish pond will be stocked with fish fry in accordance with the requirements of the old Zhang family.

In fact, the people of the entire Baihe Village know that the ownership of Baihu Bay was taken back by Zhang Wenlin, and it can be said that there is no pressure to contract the entire Baihu Bay with the financial resources of the old Zhang family.

So not waiting for Zhang Wenlin to formally propose to sign the contract, just a little bit of leakage, almost all the fish pond farmers have told Zhang Wenlin about this, just these days greenhouse vegetables have Tan Linrong in charge, Zhang Wenlin intends to negotiate the contract before the year to sign, there are too many things after the year, can be a case.

Once the contract for all the fish ponds in Baihu Bay was officially signed, then the village-to-village project of Baihe Village could be regarded as truly achieving its initial goals: to build a village road connecting the various brigades; Unify the industry of Baihe Village and achieve economies of scale.

The next medium-term goal, one is to further expand production capacity, followed by to improve brand awareness, the name of Baihu Bay, but this is more of the task of the old Zhang family, now the old Zhang family's industry and the entire Baihe Village are connected together, a prosperity, a loss, most of the people in Baihe Village understand this truth, and then the most important step is to establish a communication network connecting the entire Baihe Village households, in 96 years, Baihe Village can afford to install a telephone in each team can be said to be a handful.

For example, Zhang Wan, only Zhang Wenlin's family has a phone in the whole team, even after Zhang Wenming became the captain, it was only after Zhang Wenlin officially hired the couple to raise fish for the old Zhang family, so that they had the economic conditions to pull the phone line, a telephone set was installed, and the line could not be pulled down for two thousand yuan, so if you want to achieve this goal, Zhang Wenlin feels that it is still difficult, after all, it is really useless to install a phone, not to mention the popularization of the whole village, I am afraid that it is difficult to achieve a 10% penetration rate.

So in Zhang Wenlin's heart, this matter has become the top priority.

Let's talk about Zhang Chen and Tan Gensheng.

From Zhangwan to Batou Township, with the road conditions of Zhangba Highway about 20 minutes, from Batou to Baichong, it took a full hour and a half, but the distance of more than 40 kilometers is really annoying, even Tan Gensheng's good character also scolded a few words.

The 97-year-old Baichong County is not dilapidated, but it is definitely not close to the prosperity, and it is not easy to see even a trace of modernization.

As a traditional agricultural county in the interior and a key aquatic county at the provincial level, in the entire Baichong jurisdiction, the total urban and rural population of more than 20 townships and towns has approached one million at the end of 96, but the population of Baichong urban area is less than 300,000, probably only in the early 200,000s, until more than ten years later, when the county was proposed to change from a city to a city, it slowly reached and exceeded the urban population line of 300,000.

Entering the county seat, the straight people's road from east to west, across a paddy field, later the paddy fields on both sides of the people were flooded by the built buildings, but now it is still a pastoral scenery, not to mention the building, that is, there is no half wall on the side of the road, nearly 20 meters wide people's road should be the widest and most high-grade central road in the whole county, but now it is empty potholes and mud puddles everywhere, the dilapidated asphalt road does not know how long it has been built, Zhang Chen has no way to investigate, in short, now even Zhangba Highway can not be compared.

The Audi car drove along Renmin Road for nearly 5 minutes before crossing the long-distance bus station and turning left into another main road in the county, the center road, in fact, the center road is a national highway connecting the north and south, and the center road is the name of this section of the national highway passing through the city, and the whole hundred cities are divided into four parts by the people road and the center road.

To the east of Renmin Road is a piece of farmland that has not yet been cultivated, and to the west of Renmin Road is an industrial zone, but now it is still a wasteland, north of the central road is the concentration of building materials market, and south is the real old city of Baicheng, dense dilapidated buildings, including Baicheng's No. 1 Middle School, No. 2 Middle School, Shiyàn Primary and Secondary School, People's Hospital, government and other institutions are all in this area, so Zhang Chen's destination is naturally to turn left into the old South District.

After entering the southern section of the central road, a Jinggangshan road is also from west to east on the central road, after passing through the Jinggangshan Road, it has been going south, and the democratic road is from west to east, dividing the entire southern district into three areas, between Renmin Road and Jinggangshan Road, the county government and the people's hospital are located, between Jinggangshan Road and Minzhu Road, it is located in the first middle school and the real yàn junior high school, and the south of the democratic road is the second middle school and the real yàn primary school, it can be said that the most prosperous location of the whole hundred cities is in this area.

But at this time, the old city made Zhang Chen feel bored and couldn't arouse the slightest interest, the old city that has not been renovated is like a refugee area, narrow alleys, no street lights, and it is easy to accumulate water when it rains, but the transformation of the old city, Zhang Chen even imagined that he didn't know that a series of government leaders who fell for this matter would now prefer not to do it if they knew that they would die on this in the future.

Zhang Chen pointed the way, Tan Gensheng drove straight along Jinggangshan Road into what should be the most prosperous area of Baicheng, but at this time Jinggangshan Road still looks relatively dilapidated, and there is no shadow of Baicheng Commercial Pedestrian Street running through Renmin Road-Jinggangshan Road-Minzhu Road, except for the Fuxing Department Store opposite the People's Hospital, which was converted from an old department store, there is basically no large-scale commercial point.

The county government compound is located in the middle of the north side of Jinggangshan Road, the people's hospital is on the north side, less than 500 meters away from the government compound, the Fuxing Department Store is just on the left side of the government compound three or four hundred meters at the end of the month, on the right side of the government compound near the intersection of the main road of the center road, a five-storey semi-new building stands quietly there, this is the location of the best hotel in the county, Yushan Hotel, but now it seems that the Yushan Hotel is locked door.

Zhang Chen came to Baicheng to find a storefront this time, in fact, the first target is the building of Yushan Hotel, as one of the only two county-level hospitality units in Baicheng, Yushan Hotel's position in the industry in Baicheng is basically unshakable, but as one of the government reception units, Yushan Hotel is located in the most conspicuous position of the main road in the center of the county, so in 96 years Yushan Hotel began to merge with another county party committee hospitality unit and Tai Hotel under the leadership of the county government.

Later, the old site of the Yushan Hotel was rented by Huang Fuxing, the founder of Fuxing Department Store and a mud-legged merchant in Jiucheng Township, and opened the first supermarket in the whole hundred cities after renovation, and Huang Fuxing bought the entire building within a few years after the supermarket was a huge success.

Zhang Chen didn't know if Huang Fuxing had started to contact the Yushan Hotel at the beginning of 97, and if not, then he might not have the opportunity to take the building of the Yushan Hotel into his arms.
