"Yes, horse breeding, horse training, and horse selling are a very small part of our company's business, and the income is almost negligible, so we should not take risks at all, and we do not have the ability to take risks, please understand."

Cao Zhihua smiled and said: "Secretary Li, you are very low-key and very wise, I am convinced." Is this good, this year's horses are sold out, is it okay to leave a few for my brother next year? ”

"Andy, there's no way to stay. If you can underwrite as you do today, it is naturally easy to say, if not, you can only use today's method. ”

Cao Zhihua said: "It will definitely not be possible to underwrite so much next year, and we can't do it, which will trap Secretary Li in injustice, you have just promised investors." Yes, next year we want 100 horses, and the price is based on today's average. We'll come over on the day of next year's auction, and we'll take the remaining 100 horses with us. ”

"Andy, we have 50 horses." A person behind Cao Zhihua said.

"Brother Jun, why do you want so little?"

"We don't know how many people we can contact, it's hard to do more, it's okay if there's less, we just want to create a situation where there are more monks and less porridge, arouse the appetite of others, and let others know that it is not possible to buy horses with money."

Andy said with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, let people know that raising horses is a face-saving thing, and this atmosphere can be formed, just like those rich countries." Secretary Li, let's ask what the average price is today. ”

Andy didn't say anything, Wuyang also wanted to know, so he walked to the table in the bank. He knows that Andy should be a soy sauce character, his boss doesn't come forward, and he can't be guilty of sticking a hot face to someone's cold ass.

The money for the sale of horses was collected by seven banks. Nervous settlement. It should be soon. I was supposed to receive my money today. It is enough to have Li Xiangyan a bank, but Liming Group has survived and developed in Lujiang for many years, and the major banks have supported the company a lot, and now they have opened an account there. The results of the various banks came out quickly. Summed up, 206 horses, the average price is $14 million, or $2.9 billion. Subtracting the money spent over the years, as well as the dividends and bonuses given to the teachers of the district, and the 2 billion yuan remitted to Ba Etu, there is not much money to be made on these horses. Of course, betting on horses in Hong Kong has made some money, and if it weren't for Bailong's participation, he and Xie Daxia, Liu Bingqiu, and Ouyang Qi would not have passed. But after all, it can't be counted on horses.

Cao Zhihua got the news, and several people said hello and left. Wuyang asked them to go to the Heyuan Hotel for dinner and accommodation, and then drove home by themselves. On the way, the things that I have not decided to make up my mind have been settled.

After returning from the United States last time, Baetu has been actively involved in buying land to build a wild horse reserve. It didn't go well at first, but later Wuyang called Huang Jiming and asked him to assist. Huang Jiming is the secretary of a prefecture-level city, and mediating this kind of thing is better than Ba Etu, a scholar, and that is not the strongest thing that can be calculated in the Dao. Soon a large area of land with mountains, water, grasslands, and deserts was demarcated, covering an area of 180 square kilometers. Let the afternoon sun be staggered. The total area of Lujiang City is 325 square kilometers, which is not twice the size of the land on the grassland.

The place is demarcated, but the problem is again. The government of the autonomous region is very enthusiastic about the establishment of the reserve, and is ready to divide the land after the organization of the district government to take over, Wuyang feels that this will be a very promising tourist spot, and wants to build and manage the reserve with his own company. Of course, there are people of insight in the district government, and they certainly can't agree. In the end, it was proposed that if Liming Company wanted to build and manage the reserve on its own, it would have to buy the land, and the price of the land was 30,000 yuan per mu. This piece of land is 180 square kilometers, which is 270,000 mu, and the purchase price is 8.1 billion, and 40% of the land acquisition money is returned, and 4.86 billion is still needed. Spending money is one thing, and there is also the provision that fences and barbed wire fences cannot be built. This made Wuyang hesitate, the company repaired the reservoir, cultivated pasture, and was reluctant to raise cattle and sheep, without the protection of barbed wire, the herdsmen's cattle, horses and sheep came to graze, and they could not be driven away, for fear of causing ethnic contradictions, which made people headaches. Therefore, the remittances have passed, the mares have also been transported, and the offices and living facilities of some reserve staff have been built, but whether they will be bought or handed over has not yet been decided. Last time, when the three heroes gave 1 billion Hong Kong dollars, Wuyang wanted to call, but this delay dragged on for several months.

Call Baetu, "Doctor, are you busy?" ”

Ba Etu smiled and said: "Secretary Li, do you remember to call, dare to remember those horses, right?" ”

"Of course, you're the one I'm most worried about."

"I've been really busy during this time, but fortunately, Mr. Qiu, who you arranged to come over to build the house, is still responsible, otherwise I really can't do it, it's useless to be a scholar."

Wuyang smiled and said, "Let Mr. Qiu give you a bonus." Doctor, I think we should buy the land in that reserve. ”

"Why did you suddenly make up your mind?"

"The first foals here were sold today, and there are still a lot of people who need them, and there are people who want to set up a horse club, and if the reserve is a state, we can't catch a horse in it."

Ba Etu said: "You can't discuss this matter with me, I just came here to help you temporarily, and when I am busy for a while, I still have to do archaeology." ”

"Doctor, a good meal is not afraid of being late, don't worry about these few months, I have time to pass, and I will definitely find a way to help you find cultural relics." That's right, I think after buying the land in the reserve, I still have to fence it with barbed wire. Have you ever seen the animal world, it's the kind of barbed wire fence in the Masai Mara steppe in Africa, in a protected area. ”

Ba Etu said: "I know, it's the kind that puts up cement pillars and pulls three wires between them, so that small animals can drill through them and people can climb over them, right?" ”

"Yes, that's it. I immediately called Huang Jiming and asked him to go to the autonomous regional government to ask for instructions on the purchase of land. ”

"Okay, I'll leave it to you this year anyway. Secretary Li. The foals have already been produced. Your stallion needs to be sent over quickly. ”

"I'm too busy to win during this time. I can only send a car to send it over, and I will try to make a trip at the end of the month. ”

Then he called Huang Jiming, "Jiming, I have made up my mind, I want to buy the land in the reserve, you can help me run." ”

Huang Jiming said: "Is it worth spending so much money to buy such a piece of barren land?" The establishment of a protected area is a matter for the whole society. ”

Wuyang smiled and said, "Jiming." You can grasp macroeconomic construction, but you still don't know how to do microeconomics. Do you think, if a protected area is built, and wild horses will be flocked in the future, people in the mainland will read the poem that the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep, do you want to go to the prairie to see it? If we engage in some projects such as roasting whole sheep, roasting whole camels, horse racing, and riding ox carts, is it a good industry? At that time, you were afraid that you would not be able to recover these investments? ”

Huang Jiming smiled and said, "Boss, you have planted a cash cow." I'll help you get on the run, except for buying land. What else needs to be done? ”

"Then there's the construction of barbed wire. This barbed wire fence can get in people, and so can sheep. Cows, horses, and camels will not work. The reserve is only so big, and it can't withstand the gnawing of these big animals. ”

"Okay, I'll run as soon as possible, and you can send money after the negotiation is completed."

"Thank you. By the way, in the future, when there is a return for land requisition, you can help me leave some to the autonomous regional government, so that they can use it to subsidize the herdsmen who have lost their pastures this time, and each family will give hundreds of thousands, so that they can buy a house in the city, and I will remit it when they are done. ”

Huang Jiming smiled and said, "Are you doing charity?" ”

"It's not. They have lost their pasture, their source of livelihood has been cut off, and we can't let their families have no food and clothing. You can rest assured that all this money can be earned back. ”

"Okay, you can arrange Qiu Xiaomu, and he will take care of the specific things."

hung up the phone, and had to call Qiu Xiaomu, but Fu Ying called in, "Secretary Li, where have you been?" We'll wait for you to eat. ”

"Don't wait, I'm home."

"Forget it. Secretary Li, Mr. Mike and those who are going to invest in Yihe, are going to Yihe tomorrow, and you have to organize a reception. ”

"How can it be so fast? Didn't they send the horses back? ”

"The transportation for pick-up and drop-off has been arranged, and it will be delivered directly to their homes, and they won't run away if they go back."

"How many investors are going to Yihe tomorrow?"

"I don't know for the time being, I'll tell you right away."

"Okay, you also need to arrange tomorrow's vehicle. I organized people from our city government to wait on the side of the highway bordering the Lujiang River and the Yihe River. ”

Fu Ying smiled: "Who are they?" They have to travel so far to pick them up, they are really the gods of wealth? I'll arrange for someone who knows the location of your city government to lead the way, and you wait in the office, and people don't necessarily like those vain things, and everything is good if you have money to make. ”

"Okay, it's up to you."

At this time, the family had already eaten anyway, so there was no hurry. parked the car in the garage, and called Secretary Hong, Qin Jiangyue, Chen Lei, and Yu Huijuan, and felt that there was no loophole, so he went home for dinner.

During dinner, he received a call from Fu Ying, telling him that there were 35 investors going to Yihe. Wuyang knew that he had to be busy again during this time, and the matter of Mouton Flower could only be postponed.

There were 37 investors who came the next day, and he knew that two of them were arranged by Yu Huijuan. Her company has a factory in Lujiang, and it is easy to send people over, as for what kind of enterprise will be registered in the future, of course, it depends on what kind of enterprise can enjoy the most preferential policies.

The people in the city government have taken action, some have signed agreements with merchants who have already remitted funds to China Merchants accounts, some have signed agreements with merchants who can remit money immediately, and some have signed agreements of intent with merchants who are ready to invest. The intentional agreement is still unreliable, 18 have been signed, and it is good to have two that can be implemented.

The next day, Wuyang, Qin Jiangyue, Chen Lei, Deng Qiming, and Chen Shaonan took the merchants to inspect the land in multiple ways. The construction of the IT industrial park was proposed by Wuyang, and he led the way for six companies in the IT industry.

Although the IT industry is less polluting, although it is technology-intensive, robots and robotic arms cannot completely replace manual labor in the manufacturing process, and can also be classified as labor-intensive enterprises. There is no pollution, and the company has many employees, so it is suitable to build a factory close to the urban area. Due to last year's large-scale investment attraction and some enterprises introduced later, there is no land suitable for building an industrial park near the urban area. The best place. It was land between the Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway and the Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway in the southern part of the city.

When I got to the ground, I took a look. Of the original 60 plots of land per square kilometer, 52 are already under construction. Wuyang knew that some of them were built by Huang Ke in the automobile city, including research institutes, production plants, etc., and some were purchased by other investors. At that time, so much land was prepared, and Wuyang thought that it would be difficult to recruit enough investors to invest in the construction, but he didn't expect Huang Ke to take the lead and sell so much land in a few months.

There are 8 plots left. There are only 6 companies, which is very good, but the people of 6 companies are too small, some want two, and some want three. Wuyang said: "Gentlemen, this is not an enclosure movement, what do you want to do in such a big place?" ”

Mr. Matsumoto, a Japanese friend, said: "Our factory in Rongcheng has built a small dormitory, which is said to be a birdcage, so this time we must take a long-term view." Use a plot of land to build a dormitory. The factory should also be built into a garden-style factory, and the factory expansion should be avoided in the future. It is necessary to find another land, which brings a lot of inconvenience to production and life. So, I insisted on 3 plots of land. ”

It's okay if he doesn't say it, after he says so, everyone wants 3 yuan. These 8 yuan have already been expropriated, and the construction can be started after they are bought, and the additional 10 yuan will have to be expropriated from the farmers. Fortunately, it belongs to the hilly area, and there are not too many fields, so land acquisition, demolition, and construction of resettlement houses are all indispensable.

Qin Jiangyue, Chen Lei and the group led by them have not yet expropriated the land, the task is even more onerous, and it is not easy to be the shopkeeper in Wuyang, Chen Shaonan has come to help, how can he still throw it away, he can only hurry up and do it, and strive to do it well at the end of September, don't work overtime during the eleventh long holiday.

After sending off the investors, they immediately convened a meeting of the investment promotion and land departments, and immediately organized elite soldiers to carry out expropriation. He is the number one, and the people from all departments are also in the main position, plus he has a loose hand, and he doesn't care about giving more benefits to the demolition households, and because the plot next to him is expropriated, there is a model to refer to, so there is not too much trouble.

It took 5 days to complete the expropriation of 10 plots of land, and when the villagers found a temporary residence, they could enter the excavator to demolish the houses. In the past, the villagers demolished it themselves, because the houses that collapsed and injured people's lives, but now they are absolutely not allowed to demolish them themselves.

After finishing the land of these 6 households, he immediately took the original team to other places to help implement the land needed by the investors. The people who participated in this work did not rest on weekends, and a big week at the end of September was supposed to be transferred to the National Day to rest together, and the city government decided that these comrades would take two days off to make up for it. Although Wuyang has participated in this work from beginning to end, he is not ready to take two days off, but Qian Zhijie said: "Secretary, if you don't rest, Mayor Qin and they will be embarrassed to rest." Hearing him say this, and Ba Etu repeatedly called him to urge him to come over, he decided to rest, so as not to make it difficult for everyone.

Xiaoya knew that he was going out, and knew that he couldn't do without a woman, so she asked him to take Jia Xianyun out. Jia Xianyun and Wuyang have been together for so long, and no two of them have stayed together, Xiaoya must make reasonable arrangements, lest they have resentment. Jia Xianyun is beautiful, although she is not old, but in terms of manners and bearing, there is a mature and luxurious beauty, which is incomparable to many sisters. Now many things are tacitly understood, and no one will tell them if they are not in business. The two packed up and flew to Hohhot on Friday night.

Huang Jiming, Qiu Xiaomu and Ba Etu came to the airport to pick them up, hugged Qiu Xiaomu, shook hands with Huang Jiming and Ba Etu, introduced Jia Xianyun, and took a car to Huang Jiming's league. After arriving, they ate a simple meal, and the night was already late, and they rested in peace. Early the next morning, Qiu Xiaomu couldn't accompany him, so he left Jia Xianyun in Hohhot to rest and go shopping, and asked for a car to go to the Wild Horse Sanctuary.

The office buildings and dormitories of the reserve have been built, and the barbed wire fence has been pulled up, and Baetu said that if you want to drive or lead livestock into the reserve, you can only go through the gate here, and if you go anywhere else, you will be considered stealing.

It is more than 40 kilometers away from the nearest settlement, and when you enter the gate, except for some offices, dormitories, stables, and horse material warehouses on both sides, there is an endless savannah. The grass on the grassland is not very lush, and the few grass that grows tall have turned yellow at the tips. At this moment, the white dragon, its wives and concubines, and young children don't know where to go.

After a short break, Ba Etu said: "Secretary Li, Secretary Huang, the grassland here is the best place in the entire reserve, about 60 square kilometers, the reserve also has 80 square kilometers of desert, and 40 square kilometers of mountainous areas. If it is transformed, the desert can still be grown, and the valleys in the mountains occupy about half of the area, which can be used to build reservoirs, and the downstream of the reservoirs can also be used to grow grass. There are many bare rocks in the mountains and ridges, so it is impossible to grow trees and grass, and there are some trees in other places where there is soil layer, and we can also grow grass on the slopes. ”

Wuyang asked, "Did you take someone to survey the terrain?" ”

Ba Etu said: "After careful investigation and selection of several sites for the construction of reservoirs, do you want to take a look?" ”

"Can I take the car?"

"In some places, you can, and in other places, you can only take a helicopter."

"Okay, let's drive to see the place where we need to take a helicopter, and I'll transfer the helicopter over tomorrow." Let's go now. (To be continued......)
