"There are definitely other mineral deposits, we are organizing oil exploration, and it is said that there is a great prospect for the discovery of oil and gas. By the way, there may also be diamond deposits. There was a volcanic eruption hundreds of millions of years ago, there should be diamonds, do you have time this time, the company's plane is in the capital, and it is very easy for us to go over. ”

"If I don't go this time, I'm really busy and won't win. I couldn't leave the city work, so I made an appointment with my supervisor to complete the defense of my master's thesis. In a few years, when the construction of the aviation city is completed, Guo Xiangli and they have time to go over, I will go again and see if there is anything I find. ”

"Mayor Li, I would like to ask, if we find oil, who are you going to put in charge of extracting it? Also, now that the country has an oil pipeline, does our crude oil also go through this pipeline? ”

"For the mining matter, I will arrange experts to be in charge of the technical work, and you are still in charge of everything here. As for crude oil, if it goes through the country's pipeline, it takes up the country's transportation capacity, plus if it is to be transported to our own refinery, it still has to be transported by ship. We simply built oil pipelines and built large oil depots on the wharves to solve the problem of port freezing in winter. If there is natural gas, it would be better to build another pipeline to transport it directly back to China. However, this matter is still a bit mysterious, and it is difficult to say whether people will allow us to exploit oil. ”

"Let's figure it out. The land we bought has a service life of 100 years, and I don't think it's a rush to exploit the mines, and we are going to cut down the timber first, so that the little trees can grow, and when they are returned to them, they will become forests again. ”

"Mr. Peng, I think the land is still small. Only 6,000 square kilometers. It would be nice to be able to buy 60,000 square kilometers. ”

"It's not hard. I think we don't have time to develop it, and the local government is afraid that we don't want it. I'm done here, and it's just getting warmer, so I'll take someone there. ”

"Then it's hard for you."

I made an appointment with Secretary Zhang twice, but I didn't have time, and when I arrived at Hong Feifei's grandfather's house that day, Secretary Zhang's phone came, asking him to sit at home. As soon as I heard the address, I was in a high-level villa area with Fei Fei's grandfather's house. Wuyang stayed at Grandpa Hong's house for another half an hour before walking over slowly.

This time I went to Grandpa Hong's house, and the Hong family arrived. Fei Fei's two aunts are the oldest, the eldest aunt is in her 60s and has retired, the eldest aunt is the commander of a certain military region, the second aunt is also retired, the uncle is the political commissar of a military research institute, and both uncles have the rank of general. The eldest uncle is the deputy commander of a certain military district. The rank of lieutenant general, the little uncle is the rank of major general. Plus Fifi's father. The family has 3 members of the Central Committee and one alternate member. Speaking of this, Secretary Hong smiled: "This is all brought by the old man Gao Shou." ”

Grandpa is 95 years old, and his thinking is still very clear, when Wuyang took care of his body, he found that all organs were very old, that is to say, he was already very weak. Grandpa made no secret of his liking for Wuyang, and he always had a smile on his face.

Hearing Secretary Hong say this, the smile on Grandpa Hong's face became even brighter. Wuyang is a person who will come to things, and Grandpa Zhilu Daohong likes to recall the eventful years of Iron Horse Jingo in the past, so he said: "Grandpa, people say that from you joined the Red Army in 28 years to your retirement, whether it is military or political, you have never lost a battle in your life, how did you do it, can you teach me some experience?" ”

Grandpa Hong said with a smile: "It's fake that I haven't lost a battle, I joined the Red Army when I was a teenager, and I was chased everywhere by the white dog, isn't it a defeat?" But if we run too much, we sometimes fight their ambushes, and we win in one fight. From this, I figured out a truth, when a person is weak and an army is weak, as long as the latter strikes, it can often turn defeat into victory. ”

"Grandpa, this is what "Lao Tzu" said in the middle of the strategy, don't be the first in the world."

"You read a lot and are sensible, I learned it in practice, I heard that Lao Tzu's book wrote this, and I still did it after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. But I've used this truth all my life, and it really works. You may know that during the Cultural Revolution, so many old cadres and generals were knocked down and entered the cowshed, and it was my old chief, the one who taught me not to be the first in the world before, was also knocked down. I'm the only one who stays at work. ”

Wuyang said: "Grandpa, you must have used your power to protect a lot of old comrades-in-arms, right?" ”

"That's nature. At that time, there were more than 150 veteran cadres at the rank of major general and above who had lived in several farms in our department, some of whom were not on the same hill at all, but as long as they contacted me, I did not push any of them out, and some of them were found and placed on my farm when I heard the news. ”

"Grandpa, weren't you afraid of doing this at that time?"

Grandpa Hong smiled: "I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid, if I am also removed, who will protect them?" So I did it very secretively, and it was so chaotic at the time, and it was not discovered. However, I have no political enemies, and many people just know the Tao and turn a blind eye. These veteran comrades are very emotional, and when the title was conferred in '88, when discussing me, the Politburo passed it by unanimous vote. ”

"Grandpa, you were the deputy commander of the boss back then, and the boss collapsed in 59 years, and you were not implicated?"

"Nope. The boss has a higher level of education than me, and the art of conducting is beyond my reach, but the boss is too strong, and there are also problems that cannot tolerate people, especially the criticism of empiricism, which offended many people and made many people afraid of him, and many people were happy about his downfall. Of course, these are not the main ones, and the reasons for the downfall are known to you, and I am not involved. Speaking of which, I have a closer relationship with Mr. Lin, and I fought under his leadership throughout the Liberation War, but I am not very close to him. ”

"Grandpa, you are loyal to the party, the revolutionary cause, and the people, so you don't have to be attached to anyone."

"Child, you're to the point, you're selfless in your heart."

At this time, the health practitioner came, "Chief, you are tired today, it is time to rest." ”

Grandpa was very obedient to the doctor's arrangement and immediately asked the orderly to push the wheelchair. Before leaving, he said, "Child, I will come to the house often when I have time in the future." Good work. ”

"Grandpa, take care of yourself. You are 100 years old. 120 years old. I'm here to give you birthday greetings. ”

"Good, good."

After Grandpa left, Wuyang took out several plastic bags from his backpack, and Fei Fei's aunt, aunt, cousin and cousin all gave a pair of bracelets, necklaces, pendants and other jade objects. He heard that he had come to his house and brought it from a jewelry store in the capital.

When I arrived at Secretary Zhang's house, I chatted with the old chief for a while, and then talked to Secretary Zhang, Secretary Zhang should now be regarded as the number two person in the faction. Words. There is a lot of hope for Wuyang.

Wuyang took out the jade object given to his wife and explained again, but Secretary Zhang resolutely refused. "Xiao Li, why do you keep doing these things?"

Wuyang said: "It's all cut out of cheaply bought stones. ”

"No, take it back. If you do this again in the future, I won't let you come. ”

Wuyang smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll put it away, don't be angry." ”

After chatting for a while, Wuyang wanted to invite them out to dinner, and the old chief said: "This weather is cold and steep. and will not go out. ”

On the evening of the end of the meeting, Wuyang invited Boss Qiu and the boss to dinner. No one mentioned bullfighting this time. It's just a matter of drinking the strength of the world, the south of the sea, and the north of the sea to talk nonsense.

The next day, I invited my supervisor, Professor Li, and my brother to dinner, and Professor Li invited several professors who participated in the thesis defense. Wuyang didn't know that there would be so many people coming to Lu Dao, and he didn't know if they would accept gifts, so he quietly asked the senior brother, and the senior brother said: "With the prestige of the teacher, with your thesis, you will pass no matter what, you prepare a gift, it doesn't matter if they want it or not." ”

Wuyang hurriedly went out to make a phone call and asked the staff of the jewelry store to send a few pendants. After the meal, the pendant also arrived, and Wuyang took it out and gave it to the professors, and one of them knew the goods, so he said: "Xiaoli, we don't dare to accept such a valuable gift." In jewelry stores, such glass pendants are worth hundreds of thousands. ”

Wuyang said: "Teacher, what you see is the selling price of the jewelry store, which is indeed so expensive. But my family has this business, and if they bet on a piece of jadeite in Myanmar, they can make countless such pendants, and the cost of each pendant is hundreds of yuan. ”

The professor smiled: "Please forgive me for saying an unlucky word, gambling on stones is a matter of losing nine out of ten bets, what if your family gambles down?" ”

Wuyang smiled and said, "Teacher, our family's business is quite big, and it doesn't matter if the gamble collapses occasionally." Gambling and gambling are all things that have nothing to do with this gift, just like eating today has nothing to do with tomorrow's thesis defense. ”

The professor said: "That's natural, if the knowledge can't meet the requirements, we will lose face, and we will lose a person like Professor Li." ”

"Okay, I also ask the professors to be strict, if it doesn't work, I will re-study and rewrite the paper."

The defense was passed the next day, and in the afternoon, Wuyang went to Uncle Yu's office for a trip, and only flew back to Lanjiang on the third day

After conveying the spirit of the meeting to the Municipal Party Committee, the Municipal Government, the Municipal People's Congress, and the CPPCC, he threw himself into intense work.

At the end of April, Hu Changsheng said: "Mayor, everyone hasn't rested since the New Year, is it a trip to travel during the May Day holiday?" ”

Wuyang said: "Everyone has really worked hard, and it stands to reason that we should organize a tour and relax, but I can't start this." The government's money is all from the sale of land, which is neither much, but also dead money, and the expenditure is less than one piece. ”

Hu Changsheng said: "Don't go far, just go to Tengyue, and we will pay for it ourselves." ”

Wuyang smiled: "Did you hear any rumors, Tengyue has money to make?" ”

Hu Changsheng smiled, "I don't know if there is money to be made, but it is a well-known thing that you can gamble on stones there, and we all want to try our luck and seek excitement." This year, a lot of wages have been repaid, and the year-end bonus has been repaid, and the extra month's salary has been repaid every year. ”

"Okay, you organize, only the members of the command can participate, there are more people who go, even if it is at their own expense, it will also affect the bad ones, I may have to take the members of the board of directors of the southwest company to go, you arrange a bus."

Hu Changsheng left happily, gathered on the 30th, had lunch, and set off by car. The municipal government has 14 couples including Hu Changsheng, Deng Qiming, Hu Jianhua, Zhong Lan, Cui Deping, Niu Fuguo, as well as Li Ning, Duan Kai and other singles, 7 people such as Zhou Guoping, Yu Peizhang, Chang Sheng, and Teng Yan of the Southwest Company, as well as several county secretaries and county magistrates, as well as Dong Pingzhi, Li Jun, Hu Weiping, Zhou Dian, etc. A carload full of people.

Arrived at the best hotel in Tengyue. Zhu Bao, Zhu Bei, and Tian Yu were already waiting at the door of the hotel. They had already booked their rooms. Wuyang and his party arrived as long as they checked in. Everyone introduced each other, exchanged pleasantries for a while, and went to their rooms to put their luggage. Wuyang and Zhu Bao and a few other people went upstairs, when Zhu Bao took out the room card, a beautiful woman in her 30s with an elegant temperament came over and said to Wuyang: "Sir, can I discuss something with you?" ”

Wuyang said, "What's the matter?" Go ahead. ”

The woman smiled. "Sir, that's right, we also booked a room before we came, but there were more people before leaving, you see, it's the tourist season, and there are no empty rooms in the hotel. Can you give us the presidential suite, and we'll be enough, don't you think? ”

"What room are you?"

"It's a single room. At that time, when booking online, there were only single rooms left. ”

"Okay, no problem. Boa. You and this eldest sister change the room. ”

Bao'er said, "It's good." Eldest sister, you and I just need to change the room card. You don't have to register, so you don't have to worry about it. ”

The woman smiled, "Thank you, thank you, you guys are really refreshing, I'll go over and get the room card." ”

After speaking, he quickly took the room card and came over, followed by a handsome middle-aged man. The man smiled and said, "Sir, thank you." ”

Wuyang said: "When you go out, there are inconvenient times, so don't be polite." We went to the room to put our luggage, see you again. ”

"Sir, let them go and put their luggage, and we can talk?"

"Well, it's nice to meet you. Listen to the accent: Are you from Beijing? ”

"I just lived in the capital for a while, and my hometown was not there, nor was I born there. Sir, are you from this province? ”

Wuyang smiled, "I've only been here for half a year." I am from Central South China, and I learned the dialect here for the convenience of my work. ”

"Central and South Chinese people work here? What is your last name? ”

"Don't give your surname Li, Li Wuyang."

The middle-aged man smiled, "It's better to see than to hear." I heard Boss Qiu and them always mention you, but I didn't expect to meet you by chance this time. I came to Tengyue, I listened to Boss Qiu's words, came to buy jadeite, originally wanted Boss Qiu to ask you to make an appointment, he said that you are busy with work, I am afraid of delaying your work. ”

"I'm a work-life balance, and I'll have a holiday tomorrow. Sir, are you familiar with Boss Qiu? ”

"I've known each other for two years, and after buying a few of their villas, I'm familiar with them."

"Are those palace-style villas?"

"Yes. Boss Qiu, their creativity is very good, I can't let go of it as soon as I see it. Boss Qiu persuaded me several times, don't do that thankless thing, collect some jadeite, and sit at home to earn money in the future, I was moved. ”

"Sir, this gambling stone, but nine out of ten bets lose, after all, it is not as reliable as real estate."

"I know that I don't buy wool, only jadeite. By the way, let's not hold it, I'm a few years older than you, you can call me Brother Zhang. ”

"Big brother, then I'll climb high."

"Hey, since they're brothers, there's no such thing. I'm just lucky, I met you in the vast sea of people, and this time I will be sure to buy jadeite. Brother, there is a tradition of growing tobacco in your city, how is it now? ”

"No, it's decaying."

"I'll see if we can develop it again after our efforts. After I return to Beijing, I will send someone over to sign a contract this year, inject funds, and then do a big job next year. The local villagers are rich, and you, the mayor, have also made political achievements. ”

Wuyang said: "Brother Xie Lu, thank you." Our people there are too poor and we must do everything we can to make them rich. ”

"You're welcome, brother. I am also for our company, if we have the high-quality flue-cured tobacco you produce here, we can produce more Class A cigarettes and create more profits. ”

"How many acres of flue-cured tobacco are big brother going to let us plant?"

"At least 100,000 acres, otherwise there is no point."

"Okay, I'll arrange it when I go back. Big brother, this time you want to buy jadeite, I am still more experienced, so I will help you choose a few. ”

Brother Zhang smiled: "How can a few pieces be enough?" The more I am, the better. Brother, I think so, the jade you gambled on, and the ice species and above were sold to me. We don't need to auction bids for our trading, I'll give you a real price, and we will close the deal if you see it. Ice species, whether it is a solid color or a floating flower, are 20 million per kilogram, glass yang green, 50 million per kilogram, imperial green is 200 million per kilogram, and other colors of jadeite, just refer to this price, do you think it will be low? ”

"Big brother, it's too tall, right? I haven't done this for a few years, and I don't know the exact price, but I can't let you buy it too expensive. ”

"I learned before I came, this price is not high in China, it is higher than in Myanmar, but after all, it is in China. That's it, we'll start early tomorrow morning. ”

"Big brother, I'll invite you to dinner later."

"You're welcome. The people we have added this time are from the armed police force, and with the two beds set by the president, they will be able to live there. The local armed police are going to have a treat tonight, you don't care, we will pick up wool together in the next few days, are you afraid that you won't have the opportunity to eat together? ”

"It's fine. Big brother, since you have a relationship with the armed police, let them arrange some soldiers for you in the next few days, so that we can go to a few more houses. ”

"Okay, is one squadron enough?"

"It should be almost."

"You picked the jade for me yourself, what about those attachés of yours?"

"Just let my sister take them away. The girl who arranged the room just now is my junior sister, they have been here all along, and the situation is very familiar. ”

"Okay, so be it. The comrades of the armed police came, I went to dinner, and tomorrow morning I went downstairs for breakfast at 7 o'clock and set off at 7:30. ”

Brother Zhang left, and Wuyang and his entourage dined in the hotel restaurant. After the meal, the women all went shopping, and Zhu Bao and Zhu Bei led the way to Tengyue Town. Bao'er and Belle walked in the front, the women followed them, Dong Pingzhi and Tian Yu walked behind the most, the two of them had already hung their arms, and Tian Yu looked like a little bird.

When you arrive at the jade market, every shop and stall is full of dazzling jade, and everyone just looks at it and doesn't buy it. Wuyang walked together with a group of gentlemen, chatted casually, and enjoyed the fun of shopping.

Li Ning took a fancy to a pair of hand beads, the shopkeeper offered 8,000 yuan, and the outspoken Belle said: "Sister Li Ning, don't buy it." The color of this hand bead is very good, and it is also a real jadeite, but the texture is not very good, it is shit. When will my sister get married, let Brother Wuyang give you a pair of glass hand beads. ”

The shopkeeper said, "Beauty, are you talking like this, ruining other people's business?" Have you ever seen a glass seed? ”

Belle raised her right hand, "Look, what is this?" ”

The shopkeeper saw that it was a glass imperial green, and although he was convinced, he was still unconvinced, "It's just a pair of hand beads, and the highest is worth hundreds of thousands, it's nothing remarkable." I have more good stuff in this store than this. ”

Belle was not very old, and she was also a child, and she liked to be competitive, so she raised her left hand again, revealing the blood jade bracelet, "Do you have it in the store?" (To be continued......)
