Chapter 588: Northwest Journey
After the New Year, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and Lanjiang is already entering summer. Hu Jiansheng, the boss of his roommate, called several times and said that it was already spring and the scenery was pleasant. The party and government leaders of several other provinces and regions also called, but Wuyang kept delaying on the grounds that he was busy with work, and he didn't tell Secretary Teng until Secretary Zhang called.
"Secretary, Secretary Zhang asked me to go to them, and my classmates have urged me many times, it seems that I can't shirk it, so I want to ask you for leave to go over and have a look."
Teng Zhimin said: "Secretary Zhang is our leader, summoning you, that is official business, you can take this trip well." Among them, there are 5?1 hours of vacation, and you will take a make-up vacation when you need to take a vacation in the future. â
"Thank you. Secretary, what else do you command? â
"Comrade Wuyang, don't say anything between us, I do have something to ask you for. You must also know that Secretary Hu over there is one of our generals, and he has a very strong relationship with me. He called me a few times to be a lobbyist. You go to him, but you need to invest some money in him. This person is very capable and appreciated by the high-level, and if he can create a political achievement that he can achieve, he will definitely go to the next level. You help him, it's good for the people there, it's a help to him personally, it's your emotional investment. â
Wuyang smiled: "I didn't expect this layer. Secretary, as long as I have the conditions for investment, I will try to increase my investment. â
Teng Zhimin said: "Comrade Wuyang, this is not enough. There are no conditions, and the conditions for creating zĂ o must also be on. Build roads, repair water conservancy facilities, plant trees and grass, as long as you are given land, what miracle can't you create in Li Wuyang? â
Wuyang smiled and said, "Thank you for the trust." Tell Secretary Hu about it. Ask him to give me more land. A few years later. I also have green waters and green mountains for the local people. â
"It's the same as 'Zuo Gongliu' back then?"
Wuyang said with a smile: "Modern technology is much more developed than Zuo Zongtang's time, and it should be possible to do better." But Zuo Gong is a feudal official, and I am a hurried passerby, so I must have a group of officials who take the revitalization of the northwest as their own responsibility to support me. â
Teng Zhimin said: "The officials appointed by the central government are all people full of pride and ambition, and they must all have good intentions, but in terms of specific work, you have to find a way to pull them onto your carriage." Do you understand? â
"Secretary, your words are exquisite. I am confident about this trip to the Northwest, thank you. Try to find a piece of mutton fat white jade and black jade there, and grind a chess piece for you. â
"Hahahaha, I'm looking forward to it. Who are you going to take with you this time? â
"Don't bring anyone else. My daughter-in-law has been at home for many years, taking care of housework and serving the elderly, and it is hard enough, so I will take her out for a walk this time. â
Teng Zhimin said: "Yes, it should be." The Northwest is huge. There are many places worth seeing, as long as it is a tour arranged by the local government. Don't shirk it, walk slowly, savor it, it's rare to have such an opportunity once in your life. Your work in the city is on the right track, don't keep worrying about it, there are Comrade Qibin and them. In addition, you are now an alternate member, and you should be appointed to the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee according to regulations, but if the Central Committee does not make arrangements, the Provincial Party Committee cannot act on its own. I guess this situation will certainly not last long, maybe you come back from the northwest and the appointment will come down. â
Wuyang said: "Secretary, this matter is not in a hurry. The affairs of the Lanjiang River have not yet been completed, some water conservancy facilities are still under construction, and the rainy season is coming, so we will definitely have to wait until the next dry season. In addition, the sales network of coffee beans is not perfect enough, and it will take time. â
"There was no order from the central government, so we carried out the work according to the plan, and when the order came, we just obeyed it happily."
Called Secretary Zhang, Hu Jiansheng and others, informed the approximate date, and talked on the phone with Zhang Lichen, the person in charge who has been inspecting the northwest, Zhang Lichen wanted to report on the work, Wuyang said: "Anyway, we will meet tomorrow, let's talk about it when we meet." You rush to Gaolan tomorrow, find a better hotel to open a few rooms in a place close to the provincial party committee and the provincial government, and we will have four people coming. â
Zhang Lichen said: "Gaolan has our own hotel, it is a big villa, I go to Gaolan to live in a villa, I will go to the best building tomorrow." â
Wuyang said: "Okay, if you have it, you can arrange it a little better, and we will take care of the food and accommodation ourselves, so as not to cause trouble to the government." â
Zhang Lichen said with a smile: "The boss came to help them, not only did he not accept their hospitality, but he entertained them in turn, which is a bit unreasonable." â
"Now that the central government is so tight, it is very difficult to entertain guests, I also have experience of this, let's eat our own, eat quietly, and there will be no problem. Lichen, we go to invest, in order to earn more profits, do not have the idea of helping them, so that we can not treat people and things with a peaceful attitude, which will cause some people, especially those who are not high-level and have real power, will set up obstacles for our affairs and affect our work. â
Zhang Lichen said: "I can talk to their leaders about this. â
Wuyang said: "Are there still fewer people who violate yin and yang now? They give the leader a set of rhetoric, and you have another set of rhetoric, and they drag you for half a month, if it is a matter of agriculture and animal husbandry and cash crops, it will be delayed for a year. â
Zhang Lichen said with a smile: "It seems that it is really better for the county officials to be in charge now." Boss, don't worry, I, Zhang Lichen, am also an old man, and I know the truth of entering the temple and worshipping when I see the Bodhisattva, and things will be good. Tomorrow I will organize a team of secretaries to accompany you in your work, and the instructions of you and the leaders will be recorded in time to guide our work. â
Wuyang said: "The organization secretary can, but it must be a man. â
"Oh, I didn't take this into account, several of the secretaries are women. Boss, it's difficult to find it temporarily, isn't it just a female secretary? â
"No, absolutely not. In my past this time, I have been dealing with the heads of the local party committee and government, and the TV station will definitely report it, how is it that a few big men are standing or sitting, and there are two young women next to them? Is it the central leadership meeting with foreign guests or the local leaders singing karaoke? Lichen, it's easy to find a few male secretaries, just type faster. Don't have them to write anything. â
"Okay. I'll arrange for someone to find them right away. â
Call Xiaoya again. "Xiaoya, you prepare, we will go to the northwest on a business trip tomorrow, it will take about half a month."
Xiaoya asked, "Are you going to do it?" â
"It's just some investment work that requires me to make a trip."
Xiaoya smiled: "The attendees are all more formal occasions, and they need me to accompany them at night." But how can I do it alone? By the way, Zhu Bao and Zhu Bei are going home, can I let them go quietly? â
"Can you guarantee that you won't show any flaws?"
Xiaoya said: "What's so difficult about this? During the day you're busy. I'll just gather them in the evening. Wuyang, it's better for you to let us go, so as not to find some beautiful women to come back. â
Wuyang said: "There should be no such opportunity. However, fate is coming, and no matter how many people there are, they can't manage it. My first stop this time was the eastern end of the Kunlun Mountains where my classmate worked, and he said that he wanted to surprise me, I don't know if he was referring to something in the mountain range. If so, it's time for the babies to explore. â
"It doesn't matter if it's something. Sisters, go shopping and see the great rivers and mountains of the motherland. That's it. I asked them to buy a ticket for tomorrow, where to go? â
"When I go to Ningxi, I will live in our own hotel and a villa, and when I arrive, I will find Zhang Lichen and live in the building he booked."
"Okay, I'll arrange for them. Do I want to give you my ID card? â
"No, I remember the number, just pick up the ticket tomorrow and take it with me."
After entering the normal flight, Wuyang turned on his mobile phone and began to read. The women chatted and read the newspaper.
Suddenly received a call from Hu Jiansheng, "Third child, we have arrived at the airport." â
"Big brother, what are you doing so early? We have taken off for less than an hour, and we have more than an hour to get to Gaolan. â
Hu Jiansheng said: "We welcome you. Third, Secretary Yang and Governor Xie of our Provincial Party Committee are coming to the airport, and Secretary Yang also instructed to roll out the red carpet to welcome you. â
Wuyang said: "Big brother, don't do this, you will roast me on the fire." Let's not engage in these vain things, if you pick me up at the airport, you will give me face, and your secretary and governor should not come. â
Hu Jiansheng said: "Third child, I can't be the master of this matter, you better just forget it, okay?" â
"No, big brother, if you insist on doing this, I will get off the plane halfway, and you will be busy in vain."
"I'll do the work and I'll call you later. Anyway, don't get off the plane halfway, then I'll be too shameless. â
"Okay, if you give me face, I'll give you face."
After getting off the plane, there was no red carpet or welcome banner, only a young man next to Hu Jiansheng held a sign, on the pink paper, written in pastel: Welcome Secretary Li and his party.
Wuyang smiled and shook hands with Hu Jiansheng and Zhang Lichen, and then shook hands with the people they introduced. The people introduced by Hu Jiansheng include Gu Chunsheng, Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee, and Jing Ran, Secretary-General of the Provincial Government; The person introduced by Zhang Lichen is the chairman of the provincial and regional companies of the group company established in the northwest, some of whom are familiar to Wuyang, such as Zeng Kun of Tianshan, which was arranged by Wuyang himself, and some have also been seen, such as Qiu Damu of Inner Mongolia, he is Qiu Xiaomu's twin brother, and he has been to Wuyang's company for many years, Wuyang did not make arrangements, Xiaomu took him to Inner Mongolia to mine mines, develop real estate, plant pasture, plant medicinal materials, and Guo Zhiqi of Xia Ning, who came with Zhang Mengqi and them back then, planted wolfberry and licorice in Xia Ning. Gaolan's Li Feiqiu and Haiqing's Zhao Liang are both meeting for the first time.
"I'm very happy today, I've met so many new friends and met a lot of old friends, today is a good day."
Gu Chunsheng said: "Yes, today is a good day, Secretary Li has brought us a spring breeze, and we will soon be full of vitality here." â
Jing Ran said: "Secretary Li, our secretary and the governor are waiting for you at the guest house of the provincial party committee. Originally, they were ready to lead the leaders of various states and cities to come over, but Governor Hu said that Secretary Li was resolutely opposed, and everyone waited at the guest house. â
Wuyang said: "I don't like this kind of scene, it's not even necessary to wait in the guest house." Where to go, it's already decided anyway, just get ready at home. Two secretaries-general, how many prefectures, cities and prefectures are there in your province? â
Jing Ran said: "One city, one region, six autonomous prefectures. â
"Okay, let's go." Wuyang said.
Walking out of the terminal building, after waiting for a while, the car of the provincial government and Zhang Lichen's company arrived. Everyone get in the car. Hu Jiansheng saw Xiaoya greeting Zhu Bao and them. He said, "Brother and sister." Get your friends in the car. â
Xiaoya said: "There is a car to pick them up, let's go." â
Zhang Lichen and his party took their own car, and Wuyang and his entourage took a minibus. Wuyang and Hu Jiansheng sat together and chatted. "Third, how many days can you stay this time?"
"Two or three days. There are still a few provinces and regions to go, and we can't stay too long. â
Hu Jiansheng said: "The time must be too short to do anything." â
Wuyang said: "I didn't plan to do anything specific when I came this time. How much did Zhang Lichen and Zhao Liang invest under your rule before? â
"Third, I'm not talking about investment, I'm talking about something else. Zhang Lichen is here to take a look, the specific work is done by Zhao Liang and his subordinates. The investment in our state mainly has the following aspects: one is to build 300,000 acres of grassland; the second is to build a Chinese herbal medicine production base of 200,000 acres; the third is to build a 300,000 mu fruit production base; The fourth is to sign an agreement with farmers and herdsmen to sign a company farmer's farmer's agreement, and now there are more than 2,000 farmer households who have signed the agreement; The fifth is to invest in the construction of a non-ferrous metal smelter. â
Wuyang said: "Just such a small project? â
Hu Jiansheng said: "There are so many of them, which is already a lot. The construction of pastures and medicinal herb bases requires the construction of water conservancy projects, which require more investment. â
"Big brother, don't you have a lot of natural pastures with good conditions here? Can't you rent it to us? â
"Definitely not. Third, you are earning money, and farmers and herdsmen are eating. You can't take food from their mouths, can you? So, to your ranch. You have to rely on yourself to transform before you can grow grass, and this is especially true of the medicinal material base, without water, without transformation, it is the Gobi Desert. â
Wuyang said: "Big brother, whether it's the Gobi or the desert, you can give a little more, just a little place, we don't have to build water conservancy facilities too." â
Hu Jiansheng said with a smile: "Third child, we have more land like this, I'm afraid you don't want it, we will give you as much as you want, and the price of land per mu is 10 yuan, and you can buy the right to operate for 100 years." We don't actually have a drought here, it snows in the winter and rains in the summer, and the water is still abundant, which was mainly unused before. Growing grass and fruit has proven to be the right choice, and growing herbs is sure to be good too. We have long sunshine hours here, and the temperature difference between day and night is large, which is conducive to the growth of medicinal materials and the condensation of medicinal power, and the medicinal effect will be particularly good. â
Wuyang said: "Do you need money for such a poor land?" We've invested so much, can't we buy it longer? â
"100 years is enough, we are all in our 30s, who knows what will happen in 100 years?"
Wuyang smiled: "That's the same." Big brother, has Zhao Liang signed an agreement with other prefectures and cities in your province to purchase land? â
"They have all gone to see what land to buy, what price and other basic work has been done, just waiting for you to do a signing ceremony."
Wuyang said: "What are you doing with such formalistic things, if you don't hurry up the time to plow the land and sow seeds, this year's agricultural season will be delayed." â
Hu Jiansheng said: "It will not delay the agricultural time. You plant so many medicinal herbs, you have to prepare medicinal herb seedlings, don't you? For apples, pears and other fruit trees, seedlings should also be prepared, watermelons, white melons, etc., and a piece of land should be sown first, and then transplanted later, which will also not delay the agricultural time. If the desert and the Gobi are not ploughed, they will not be able to retain water, and if the ditches are not repaired, it will be easy to cause soil erosion due to heavy rains in summer. So, don't worry, nothing will be delayed. â
"Big brother, do you know where you are suitable for planting here? Is that Zhao Liang clear? â
Hu Jiansheng said: "Planting forage grass is almost the same, planting fruits is better in several prefectures in our west, and planting medicinal herbs is, of course, the yield in the east is higher." Your Zhao Liang is a doctor of business management, if you don't understand these, it's a diploma you bought. â
"Big brother, last time you said you were going to surprise me, I'm looking forward to it."
"I can imagine that you must be looking forward to it, or else you would have brought it up as soon as you got off the plane? You can rest assured, you will not be disappointed, after lunch, the signing ceremony, and then go to our state. â
"How long does it take to get from Gaolan to your state?"
Hu Jiansheng said: "The third child, the area here is particularly vast, and we can't get there today by car. We arranged a regional plane, 5, 600 kilometers, just an hour away. â
Wuyang said: "Is it the kind of small plane that can take about 30 people?" Except for us. How many more people can I ride? â
"I'm afraid not. Several came from our state. Zhao Liang has several. There must be a few in the province, and there are reporters or something, it should be full. Do you mean that your younger siblings are going over? â
"Yes, they're traveling. This small plane can't sit down, can it be replaced with a big one? Is it possible to take off and land large planes at the airport there? â
"It can take off and land Boeing 747 and Tu-154, and last year's earthquake relief had taken off and landed such a large aircraft."
Wuyang said: "Then you will contact the airport later to see if you can lease 747, and the rent will be paid by Zhao Liang." I don't want you to pay for it. â
Hu Jiansheng said: "Third, we really can't afford this money, renting a small plane will cost 100,000 yuan, and a large plane will definitely be more expensive." However, there is no need to rent a large plane. Just let the people and reporters in our state drive there, and we don't have any official activities today anyway. â
"Okay, that's how it goes. The money for renting the plane was still paid by Zhao Liang. â
Hu Jiansheng said: "Third child, although you are older, your position is higher. But the personality hasn't changed at all, and it's still so reasonable and understanding. Let's be honest. We went to rent a small plane, but we were also afraid that you would not be able to stand the bumps along the way. More than 600 kilometers, over the mountains and mountains, you have to walk for more than 20 hours. â
Wuyang said: "Okay, big brother, you don't have to talk about this. I also work at the grassroots level and understand the difficulties of grassroots work. Besides, their company should also pay for it. â
Wuyang called Zhu Bao and asked them to go back to the airport after dinner and go to Lalmu together. Zhu Bao said: "We heard that the scenery of Haiqing Lake is particularly beautiful, so we will go there for a few days." â
"Well, if you're happy."
When they arrived at the guest house, Secretary Yang and Governor Xie led a large group of people to wait in the flat in front of the building. After Wuyang got out of the car, Secretary Yang walked to the side of the car, and Wuyang hurriedly walked a few steps and held his outstretched hand. It was just these few steps that made Secretary Yang very happy. There are many rules in officialdom, and everyone can talk about it if they abide by it. Wuyang respected Secretary Yang as a superior, and did not have a condescending savior, of course Secretary Yang was happy.
Secretary Yang and the governor have met, several deputy secretaries and vice governors have also met, and there are more people who have not met. Governor Xie introduced Wuyang, and Wuyang shook hands and said some kind words.
Secretary Yang took Wuyang's hand, "Let's go, Comrade Wuyang, let's eat." â
Wuyang said: "We have eaten on the plane, just find a place to rest for a while, you can eat." â
Secretary Yang said: "How can you eat enough on the plane." We didn't prepare anything good, so we ate whatever we wanted, so as not to go hungry on the afternoon road. â
"Okay, then it's better to be respectful than to obey."
There are 4 dishes on the table, one is beef hot pot, one is stewed mutton, and the two dishes are not visible, and the waiter introduced that it was venison and wild vegetables. If you don't have alcohol, you can eat and talk about it, and the taste of the food will be better.
Soon after eating, Wuyang pulled Xiaoya aside, "Xiaoya, how can cigarettes and porcelain be better for them?" â
Xiaoya said: "Now there are so many people, we only have 30 cigarettes and 60 porcelain plates, so it's hard to give them to anyone." I think so, let's go first, leave something for Zhang Lichen to be responsible for delivering. â
Wuyang said: "That's not good, Zhang Lichen is a bribe." â
"Then leave it to the courier company."
Wuyang said: "Cigarettes can be expressed, but porcelain can't dare." They are not responsible for breaking or losing it. Just like that, when I come back from Larmu, I will visit the family as a family. â
Xiaoya said: "It doesn't matter if you only go to the secretary's and the governor's house, it's hard to run, and I'm afraid that people won't accept it, so it's embarrassing." â
Wuyang thought, this is indeed the case, now the wind is so tight, in case someone is kind enough to treat it as a donkey's liver and lungs, and report it to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection for you, then you will be full of mouths and can't say clearly. "Xiaoya, I didn't think about it at the time, but now that I think about it, it's too inappropriate, so we won't give this gift."
"It's all here, so what should I do?"
Wuyang said, "Find a way to get it back." â
"Okay. Wuyang, do you take out the cigarettes and give everyone a pack? â
"Let's send it, it's better to bring less things."
Xiao Ya was about to walk away, but suddenly stopped again, "Wuyang, I think it's better to keep the porcelain first." When you are chatting with the leaders, you should lead the topic in this direction, and if they show interest, you can arrange for them to send it. Not to mention the investment aspect, it is also worth pulling a few political allies. (To be continued......)
