Crossing the rippling Tongjiang River, Liu Rui and Wang Huaguo marched along the secondary road towards the county seat.

Along the way, countless trucks loaded with a large amount of ore galloped, and from time to time there were fine slag scattered on the ground, pressed by the wheels, and then flying all over the sky. Although he was wearing a helmet, Liu Rui could still feel the sound of the mineral powder hitting the glass mask.

The originally smooth cement road has now been pressed by overloaded trucks, and there are potholes everywhere, and Liu Rui is powerless even if he has the heart to drive faster.

Feeling the speed of a turtle, Liu Rui couldn't help but curse these desperate mine truck drivers to make money, those traffic police who patronize to generate income, and the inactive highway management department.

Since the discovery of a large number of manganese ore reserves in the mountainous areas of northern Qingshan a few years ago, large and small mines have been opened all over the mountainous areas of northern Qingshan. Although Qingshan's fiscal revenue has increased significantly, there are many problems caused by disorderly mining, and road damage is only one of them.

Liu Rui estimates that if this continues, this secondary road, which has only been built for less than five years, may not last too long. However, Liu Rui is not the director of the transportation bureau, let alone the leader of Qingshan County, and it is not his turn to worry about these things. Of course, every time he travels, he still curses in his heart.

Fortunately, the expressway from the provincial capital to Chuncheng, the capital of neighboring southern Yunnan, has entered the stage of full construction, and is expected to be completed and opened to traffic during this year's National Day.

Unlike the secondary highway and railway, which were built along the north bank of the Tongjiang River, this time the highway was built on the north bank of the Tongjiang River. In this way, after the completion of the expressway in the future, as long as an interchange is set up on the Qingyun side, tourists from the provincial capital and urban area can easily reach Liang Village.

Taking advantage of the east wind of the expressway and relying on the high-quality conditions of Xiaoqingshan and Xiaojing Lake, the tourism prospects of Liangcun are naturally unlimited. This is also one of the main reasons why Liu Rui dared to invest heavily in the large-scale transformation of the grain station.

However, there is still more than half a year before the highway is completed, and now Liu Rui can only endure the dust and rumbling heavy vehicles on the secondary road.

It took a quarter of an hour for Liu Rui to complete the eight-kilometer journey and enter Qingshan County.

Compared with the past, today's Qingshan County has changed quite a lot, and there are construction sites everywhere and dusty. No way, in these years, economic construction is everywhere, and the small county town of Qingshan has also begun to become a noisy construction site.

First, Wang Huaguo was sent to the Forestry Bureau to discuss with Wang Huatai about the nursery under the Forestry Bureau stationed in Liangcun, while Liu Rui drove a motorcycle to the north of the city to find Ji Xiaojun.

Since the institute evacuated most of its researchers from Liangcun, the Forestry Bureau's focus has shifted to cooperating with the institute's personnel in applying for a national nature reserve. As a result, Wang Huatai's office was transferred back to the Forestry Bureau, and he did not continue to squat in Liangcun.

After passing through most of the city, Liu Rui came to Ji Xiaojun's nursery.

"Xiao Rui, why do you have time to come to me today?" Liu Rui's arrival surprised Ji Xiaojun.

During this time, Liangcun was very lively, and even Ji Xiaojun couldn't help but go to Liangcun to play and watch the bidding meeting for others to compete for the grain station. It was also at that time that Ji Xiaojun knew that Liu Rui not only had to be busy with the family's winery, but also had to deal with the affairs of the grain station, and he was very busy every day. Therefore, seeing Liu Rui appear in his nursery today, Ji Xiaojun's surprise can be imagined.

"Hehe, can't I come to Uncle Ji to have fun with you?" Liu Rui said with a smile while setting up the motorcycle.

"Not like?!" Ji Xiaojun shook his head with a smile and said, "You are a big boss now, how can you have so much free time?" ”

Liu Rui, Zeng Ying and others worked together to win the right to operate the grain station, although Liu Rui's specific shares are not known to outsiders, but with Liu Rui's performance, Ji Xiaojun can also judge that Liu Rui is worth a lot of money now.

"Uncle Ji, don't laugh at me, just like me, what kind of big boss is it?" Liu Rui waved his hand and said, "When I came here today, I really have something I want to discuss with Uncle Ji." ”

"That's it!" Ji Xiaojun's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand and invited Liu Rui into the living room of the nursery.

Liu Rui has the right to speak in the grain station, and the grain station is now undergoing large-scale construction, is Liu Rui ordering the saplings of landscape trees on behalf of the grain station? As soon as he thought of the business coming to the door, Ji Xiaojun's spirit came up.

"Uncle Ji, I'm not here to buy seedlings today!" As soon as Liu Rui saw Ji Xiaojun's expression, he knew that he had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "I came to you today mainly to find you to cooperate and open a nursery in Liangcun!" ”

Ji Xiaojun was first stunned by Liu Rui's first half of the sentence, and then shook by Liu Rui's suggestion.

"Xiao Rui, don't be surprised when you speak, Uncle Ji is old, and he can't stand the toss." Ji Xiaojun said half-jokingly: "But what did you say that you want to ask me to cooperate in opening a nursery, what is going on?" ”

The contact with Liu Rui during this period of time made Ji Xiaojun understand that Liu Rui's shrewdness and calmness did not look like an eighteen-year-old young man. Ji Xiaojun has regarded Liu Rui as an object that can be communicated with on an equal footing, so what Liu Rui said has attracted great attention.

"Uncle Ji, have you heard that our village is about to become a tourist destination?" Liu Rui saw Ji Xiaojun nodding and continued: "It is precisely because of the nature reserve that many industries in Liangcun cannot develop in the future, but the nursery farm is not among them. ”

Sitting in Ji Xiaojun's reception room, drinking the black tea he bought at a high price, in the smoke rising from the curling smoke, Liu Rui said his thoughts one by one.

At first, Ji Xiaojun just listened, but as Liu Rui's explanation deepened, Ji Xiaojun began to sit still.

Now Ji Xiaojun's nursery farm is just renting barren land in the economic development zone, and the lease period is not long. With the gradual development of the economy of Qingshan County, these plots have gradually been favored by some factories. Compared with factories that can bring extremely high profits and many jobs, Ji Xiaojun's nursery farm is naturally not valued by the leaders of the development zone. The development zone has already issued a notice to Ji Xiaojun, hoping that he will move as soon as possible and give up the land.

Recently, Ji Xiaojun has been busy with the relocation of the nursery, and he has been dissatisfied with a lot of places. Either the traffic conditions are not good, or the requirements put forward by the leasing party are too high, so the matter has been delayed.

Now, Liu Rui's appearance makes Ji Xiaojun feel sleepy and someone sends a pillow.

"Xiao Rui, can you really successfully cultivate the seedlings of the dove tree?" Listening to Liu Rui's narration, Ji Xiaojun's voice seemed to tremble a little.

As a veteran who has been cultivating seedlings and soaking silver for more than ten years, Ji Xiaojun naturally knows that dove tree has a very high status among landscape trees. When he saw in the newspaper that there were tens of thousands of acres of wild dove trees living in the depths of Xiaoqing Mountain, Ji Xiaojun also fantasized about being able to cultivate and transplant some to his nursery. In that case, his Ji Xiaojun's nursery can become a well-known key nursery farm.

Just when Ji Xiaojun felt that this was a dream and there was almost no possibility of realizing it, Liu Rui said that he had a way to cultivate the seedlings of the dove tree! If it weren't for his consistent trust in Liu Rui, Ji Xiaojun would really suspect that he was just talking about it and entertaining himself.

"I will provide technology and venues, Uncle Ji, you will invest funds, manpower, and equipment, and we will jointly set up a dove cultivation base, 20% of the shares!" Liu Rui knew what Ji Xiaojun was thinking, and immediately threw out another bombshell!

Although Liu Rui's space spring water is enough for the seedlings of the dove tree to grow strongly, in order to hide people's eyes, Liu Rui still hopes to embark on a faster development path through the construction of standardized cultivation bases.

Now Liu Rui has no funds at hand, and in the specific construction process of the nursery, Liu Rui also knows nothing. If you cultivate dozens or hundreds of dove trees, relying on the space spring water, Liu Rui will naturally be able to do it easily. But once the number of cultivated dove trees rises sharply, Liu Rui will not be able to get busy even if he has three heads and six arms.

So, Liu Rui set his sights on Ji Xiaojun.

Ji Xiaojun's nursery is quite good in terms of management, scale and development, and it is a very good partner to work with. As long as Ji Xiaojun is willing to invest funds, manpower and equipment, Liu Rui would rather give up 20% of the shares of the Jingtong cultivation base.

"What else is needed?" Ji Xiaojun looked at Liu Rui's firm eyes, knew that what he said was true, and hurriedly asked.

With Ji Xiaojun's IQ and experience, where did he not know that Liu Rui was sending benefits to himself, and he was in ecstasy and apprehension at the same time. After all, there is no such thing as a free lunch, and pies don't fall from the sky.

As a valuable protected tree species, and because of its great ornamental surname, it has always been a sought-after item in the landscape tree market. However, due to the scarcity of wild dove trees and the few artificial nurseries, there is no price in the market. Once Liu Rui's nursery can cultivate dove trees, no matter who invests in it, the future gratifying prospects are naturally predictable.

20% of the shares of the seedling cultivation base are almost equivalent to a hen that lays golden eggs, although in the early stage of the small army needs to invest a lot of money and energy, but the future income is also quite amazing.

In this world, many things are complementary to each other, and behind the endless risks are huge benefits.

"You relocate the nursery to Liangcun and try to attract some peers to invest in Liangcun as much as possible!" Liu Rui took a sip of a cup of tea, considered his tone, and said: "When you start a nursery, you can also invest in building a farmhouse in the nursery, doesn't it just meet your wishes?" ”

After being in contact with Ji Xiaojun for a period of time, Liu Rui naturally knew that Ji Xiaojun's greatest wish was to be able to expand his nursery and open a high-level farmhouse. Now, Liu Rui has put all the conditions and prospects in front of Ji Xiaojun, and he has made it clear that he believes that he will not easily let go of such an opportunity.

Sure enough, after a long examination, Ji Xiaojun happily agreed to Liu Rui's conditions.

Ji Xiaojun knew that whether it was a 20% stake in the Tongtong Seedling Base or a future farmhouse, it was a condition that he could not refuse.

Although the traffic in Liangcun is a little inconvenient now, as long as it is dormant for more than half a year, Liangcun will become a dazzling tourist destination. At that time, the nursery farm backed by Xiaoqingshan and Xiaojing Lake will definitely be able to develop enough to create great profits for itself.

"Xiao Rui, why are you not only investing in yourself today, but also responsible for finding merchants in the village?" Hearing Liu Rui's words, Ji Xiaojun was a little strange.

"I can't help it!" Liu Rui shook his head and said: "After the establishment of the reserve, in addition to some catering and accommodation industries, the entire Liang Village may only be able to introduce two industries: nursery cultivation and animal breeding!" ”

"There's no problem with this, I'm afraid that these companies around me are also interested in leaving the development zone." Ji Xiaojun thought about it, felt that it was indeed what was going on, and nodded in agreement.

In a few words, Liu Rui and Ji Xiaojun reached a preliminary consensus and decided to jointly develop a dove cultivation base. Of course, on the details of the agreement, the two sides will have to choose a time to bargain.

As for Ji Xiaojun, he needs to invest in a large-scale nursery farm in Liangcun Reading Power, and the specific details of the cooperation still need to be negotiated between Ji Xiaojun and the Liangcun Village Committee.

"Uncle Ji, in addition to the above conditions, you also have to pay to invite some villagers to Chengdu to visit and learn the business model of the farmhouse, and in return, the village will leave you the best barren mountain wasteland as the construction land for the nursery farm!" After talking about the main things, Liu Rui put forward the conditions for the visit.

If Xiaoqingshan is to be developed and Liangcun is to be developed, it is far from enough to rely on hotels and resorts invested by foreign merchants. As the major shareholder of 'Ruilan Company', Liu Rui naturally knows that these large-scale investment projects do not help the villagers to get rich.

After the resort starts to invest, at most, it is to let the villagers have a little scattered projects to do to supplement their families. In addition, the daily consumption of vegetables and meat by the workers on the construction site is also a way to increase the income of the villagers, but these are a drop in the bucket.

After the resort opened, the situation was similar, except for some villagers who could go to work and earn a small salary, most of the resort's profits would be siphoned off by investors. If the villagers of Liang Village want to truly embark on the road to prosperity, it is only right for them to start their own businesses and carry out distinctive farmhouse projects.

As long as the villagers of Liangcun open enough and good enough farmhouses, it can not only increase the income of farmers, but also become a useful supplement to the resort, and promote the circulation of good surnames in the tourism market of Liangcun from another aspect.

Therefore, leading the villagers to go out and learn advanced experience is the consensus reached by Liu Rui and Wang Huaguo.

"How many?" Ji Xiaojun calculated the funds needed to go to Chengdu in his heart and asked.

"One thousand yuan per person, there is no way to give you the specific amount now, but no more than ten is enough!" Liu Rui understood Ji Xiaojun's concerns.

During the previous discussion, Liu Rui and Wang Huaguo had preliminarily decided on the source of funds to fund the villagers to visit and investigate.

One is the sponsorship of merchants who invest in the village, whether it is Hailan Trading, a partner of the bamboo art company, or the investor of the grain station, 'Ruilan Company', they have to contribute a little blood. Then the Liangcun Village Committee used various names to think of political axes and various competent departments to fight for a little money. In the end, every nursery that is about to come to Liangcun to invest also has to pay some money as a little exchange condition for entering Liangcun.

In addition, such a scattered situation will make funders not feel heartache and is conducive to the investment of funds. In short, Wang Huaguo and Liu Rui, one big and one small, have already begun to calculate Ji Xiaojun and them before they have even skimmed the eight characters.

"Okay, then I'll pledge ten!" Hearing Liu Rui say that there were no more than ten, Ji Xiaojun also knew the meaning of the song and opened his mouth to take ten places.

"Uncle Ji, you have been to Chengdu, and you also know the situation of the farmhouse, so you have to trouble you to take us out when the time comes, and let us feel the true connotation of the farmhouse!" Seeing that Ji Xiaojun so happily agreed to pledge funds for ten people, Liu Rui put forward his request again.

"There's no problem with this!" Ji Xiaojun agreed quickly!

Anyway, ten people, 10,000 yuan are willing to go out, and it is not a big deal to go out with him. Ji Xiaojun himself also wants to open a farmhouse, and it is also appropriate to learn the latest experience, after all, it was a few years ago when he went to Chengdu.

"Xiao Rui, I promised so many conditions for the sake of cultivating 'Dove Tong Seedlings', don't you fool your Uncle Ji!" Seeing Liu Rui put himself in in a few words, Ji Xiaojun was a little crying and laughing, and a little looking forward to it.

"Uncle Ji, you can rest assured!" Liu Rui waved his hand and said: "I have now cultivated thousands of dove trees, ready to be used in the landscape design scheme of the grain station!" I'm not going to look for you if you're not sure! ”

After discussing with him on Ji Xiaojun's side for a long time, Liu Rui easily persuaded Ji Xiaojun to invest in Liangcun, and basically all the conditions did not change much to Ji Xiaojun. This is also because Liangcun put forward a lot of very relaxed conditions for this investment, and gave very preferential treatment in the area and price of land lease. In addition, Liu Rui's blueprint for the cultivation of dove seedlings in his hand still somewhat moved Ji Xiaojun and made him quickly make up his mind.

In Ji Xiaojun's view, as long as he can occupy a certain share in Liu Rui's dove seedling cultivation base, other industries are acceptable even if they don't make money.

In this way, Liu Rui introduced Ji Xiaojun to Liangcun, perhaps, they are about to open a new chapter in the development of Liangcun.
