But Liu Zhuang is also very familiar with his parents' temper and knows that they often do favors. So he advised: "But Mom and Dad, you must remember that although this thing was not worth much, it will be a scarce commodity in the future, and the price will be higher and higher." Don't sell it cheaply, I told him Xiaobo, and he was willing to pay 20 yuan a pound to buy it. And don't go any lower than that anywhere else. ”

"So tall?" Li Wanfen exclaimed. Then she instructed Liu Yinshan, "Did the old man hear it?" Don't go out and give people away. Then Li Wanfen added uneasily: "Especially the Xiao Han family." If you want to send it, let Zhuang Zhuang give it to Xiaomei. ”

Liu Yinshan was already so angry that he couldn't speak. He lit a cigarette, ignored the complicit mother and son, and went out for a walk.

And Li Wanfen didn't care about her husband. She turned her head, looked at Liu Zhuang with a smile, then took out a hundred yuan from her arms, handed it to Liu Zhuang, and said, "Reading is also very hard!" Take more this month and buy some good things to eat and replenish your body. ”

Liu Zhuang is a little strange, his mother has always been very frugal, and she used to give herself fifty living expenses a month, but she never gave more. So he shirked and said, "Mom! I've got it here. There is no need to pay for living expenses this semester. Didn't I make some money selling stone mushrooms? ”

Li Wanfen smiled even more. "It's about the money you earn," she said. Thousands, right? Children's families, don't put so much money around, they will spend it all the time. Shrewd! Listen to Mom! Mom will save it for you, and when you marry a daughter-in-law in the future, Mom will return it to you. ”

Black lines immediately rose in front of Liu Zhuang's eyes.

……

After returning to Xiaowazi Township, Zhao Yuqin asked Secretary Lu to sort out the conversation records overnight. As soon as he got to work on Monday, he contacted the secretary of Qi Taishen, the magistrate of Lingbei County, and agreed to go to meet the magistrate of Qi at one o'clock in the afternoon.

After the meeting, Qi Taishen was also attracted by this "Stone Mushroom Industry Development Plan". After that, Qi Taishen shirked the meeting of several subordinates in the future, and extended the conversation that was originally scheduled for half an hour to more than two hours.

After the conversation was over, Qi Taishen praised Zhao Yuqin with a smile and said, "Comrade Yuqin! Cadres should go deep among the masses as you do. Your idea for this co-op is good. But where is the foreign trade company in the capital, and ...... Japanese guest? ”

Zhao Yuqin hurriedly replied: "Xiao Liu has already agreed, and he will contact him in the next few days." As soon as I get in touch, I'm ready to go to the capital in person. ”

"Will this change?" As the head of a county, Qi Taishen will of course be more cautious.

"I have been in contact with that college student named Liu Zhuang, and he is a good person. Although his current hukou is in Shannan University, he is also from Dongli Village, where we are. Now his uncle also works in the township. And that Xiao Liu has already made a few stone mushroom businesses. And the people of Dongli Village also got the money. Zhao Yuqin said.

The meaning of Zhao Yuqin's words is: there is a "hostage" guarantee, which is the biggest guarantee. Dongli Village received the money, and this is the biggest evidence. So please rest assured that the county magistrate of Qi.

Qi Taishen nodded, flipped through the "Plan" again, and then said: "Comrade Yuqin! Your political sensitivity is not enough. The development of the mushroom industry is very important, but now it is more important to produce wooden boxes. You have to be mentally prepared. This cooperative may first do a pilot in your township. In the future, it may be promoted to the county to take charge. ”

"Huh? This? ......" Zhao Yuqin moved his mouth, but he still didn't say what was in his heart.

And Qi Taishen pointed at Zhao Yuqin with a smile and said, "You little comrade, are you complaining that the county picked your peaches?" Let's talk about this wooden box first, maybe our county can't keep it, and all the people in the area have to pick peaches. And this stone mushroom, isn't it only in your Xiaowazi Township? What about other townships? You have to have the vision of a game of chess for the whole county. ”

"But? ...... "Zhao Yuqin is the secretary of Xiaowazi Township, and he can't care about what happens to other townships." Although this stone mushroom business does involve several neighboring townships, Zhao Yuqin only wants to benefit Xiaowazi Township more.

"Humph!" Qi Taishen saw Zhao Yuqin's thoughts, so he snorted with a smile, and then said, "So, Xiao Zhao, you still haven't studied enough!" What do you see? How can the organization rest assured that it will put pressure on you? ”

"Really?" Zhao Yuqin was immediately overjoyed.

In a few months, the secretary of the county party committee of Lingbei County will arrive, and the district has basically determined that Qi Taishen will take over as the secretary of the county party committee of Lingbei County. Then there will be one more vacancy in the county for the head of the county.

And these days, the township bureau cadres who are qualified to fight for the county are working their own. Although Zhao Yuqin's qualifications are enough, he is younger after all, so he is a little behind in competition. However, now with Qi Taishen's assurance, although he may not be able to be appointed in the region, at least at the county standing committee, the hope of being recommended by the county party committee has greatly increased.

So Zhao Yuqin immediately stood up from the sofa, and he said respectfully: "I will definitely work hard to serve the people under the leadership of County Magistrate Qi." County Magistrate Qi! Just look at my watch! ”

"That's it!" Qi Taishen smiled and pressed his hand to let Zhao Yuqin sit down. Then he instructed, "So in this critical period, you must do a good job of the stone mushroom." Don't worry about doing it boldly, our county government is your backing. ”

"Huh!"

"I'll report this plan to Secretary Qi later. After that, the matter will go to the county magistrate's meeting, and if possible, to the standing committee. So when you go back, you have to do a more solid job. Make the information more detailed, and you may be asked to attend the meeting at that time. ”

"County Magistrate Qi! I promise to get the job done. ”

"Alright! You go back first! ”

……

After returning from Secretary Qi's office, Qi Tai thought about it for a while, and still sent a phone call to the regional commissioner Jin to report his work.

But when Qi Taishen talked about the wooden box business, he suddenly heard Commissioner Jin's eager voice from the microphone: "What? 10,000? Five dollars for two each? That's 25,000 dollars, right? Is this still the first batch? ”

"Can you guarantee that these dollars will fall in the region? I can guarantee it! ”

"Then you ...... tomorrow, no, right now, bring the information and report immediately. I'll be waiting for you at the district office. ”

Qi Taishen put down the phone with a wry smile, he didn't expect Commissioner Jin to be so anxious. Originally, Qi Taishen thought that he had paid enough attention to the foreign exchange earning of the wooden box, but he didn't expect that the region would pay more attention to it than himself. Is that really a bit ......? Qi Taishen couldn't tell what kind of feeling he had in his heart now.

……

In this era, due to the reform and opening up, China was extremely short of foreign exchange. What is the shortage? The shortage is so that in the government's work, the two indicators of foreign investment and foreign exchange earning have an extremely exaggerated proportion.

Therefore, in the eyes of the Qingang Administration, the stone mushroom industry is very important, but compared with the 25,000 US dollars in foreign exchange, it is a small thing. Even in some ways, it is more important than the profit and tax of 2.5 million yuan. Note! This is talking about profits and taxes, not output value. If the ratio of profits and taxes to the output value is 20%, it is more than 10 million output value.

Let me tell you a little story to deepen my impression: at that time, Shanghai was going to build the first bridge across the Huangpu River, the Nanpu Bridge. The original budget was 520 million yuan, but for the Jiangnan Shipyard to go to sea for four ships to earn foreign exchange for export (because of the height of the ships), the bridge was raised by 4 meters, and the cost increased by 300 million yuan to 820 million. The total cost of the four ships at the Jiangnan Shipyard was only tens of millions of dollars, and they were built at a loss.

So these things are unimaginable to people nowadays. Today's banks can't wait for you to exchange RMB for foreign exchange. Why is China's foreign exchange reserves the largest in the world? There is a reason that is also very important, and that is because almost all of these officials who formulate foreign exchange policies are from this era, so they all have lingering fears, and they just want to hide more. I'm really a little scared.

The Qingang area is located inland, and it is difficult to attract investment, and foreign exchange earning has been a big duck egg for several consecutive years. Therefore, this batch of foreign exchange earnings of only $25,000 has the general political significance of "zero breakthrough".

And this batch of wooden boxes is only the first batch, and it will continue to be continued in the future. Optimistically, it is estimated that it may even earn hundreds of thousands of dollars in foreign exchange a year, which is considered to be the number one in the entire Shannan Province. So when you hear such news, why doesn't it attract the attention of the Qingang Administration?

So at night, as soon as Qi Taishen returned to the county seat, he immediately called Zhao Yuqin: "Xiao Zhao! You get ready, and contact that college student Xiao Liu immediately. As soon as he gets in touch with the capital, we will go to the capital immediately. ”

Hearing that Qi Taishen was so anxious, Zhao Yuqin said on the phone: "But Xiao Liu is in college?" It's hard to contact. ”

"Is it that hard? Then you'll make a trip tomorrow yourself. No! I'll go with you tomorrow. Qi Taishen made a decision categorically.

"County Magistrate Qi! Don't be tired. I'll leave early tomorrow morning. Zhao Yuqin hurriedly reassured.

"Xiao Zhao! I'm going to criticize you. Why is your political sensitivity so poor? Qi Taishen suddenly raised his voice. After a pause, he still revealed to Zhao Yuqin, "Tomorrow, Commissioner Jin of the Executive Office will personally go to the regional handicraft factory to hold a mobilization meeting." It's for the wooden box that holds the stone mushroom. ”

"Huh?"
