Chapter 587: Investing in the Northwest
"Big brother, in the future, people of different nationalities will come to the family, and I will arrange for more beef, mutton and fish to be sent here."
"Don't send it, you explain the people here, I need to come and get it myself. Dude, these dishes aren't cheap. ”
Wuyang said with a smile: "Big brother helped our city get funds in the National Development and Reform Commission?" ”
"The NDRC is only responsible for approving projects, there are no funds to approve, no matter where you ask for them, as long as you use them well. I know you won't reach out yourself, but the people under your hand are not necessarily, you must watch carefully. I discussed it with them, and my arms were sore, so I won't play in the afternoon, so you can get ready to go back. ”
"Okay, I'll listen to my eldest brother."
When he returned to Lanjiang, he immediately convened a meeting of the municipal party committee, studied the central documents, and mobilized them in light of the actual conditions of the city. At the meeting, arrangements were also made for the work of building water conservancy projects in this year's dry season.
After the meeting, a group of members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee immediately went down to the counties and townships to carry out the work in different parts, and the responsibility was assigned to the people.
Time passed quickly, the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China closed, and Wuyang was elected as an alternate member of the Central Committee. Although the name is relatively low, it shows that there are not many votes, but as a municipal party secretary of an economically backward province, it is already very good. packed his bags and prepared to go back with the provincial delegation, when he received a call from Secretary Hu: "Secretary Li, the chief will meet you in 1 hour." Come to Haiqing Hall on time. ”
"Okay. Thank you, Director Hu. ”
"You're welcome, it's my job."
Walking to the bus with his bags, he ran into Hu Jiansheng, his roommate at the university. As soon as Hu Jiansheng changed his previous coldness, he greeted him with a smile: "Wuyang." We've finally met. I miss you so much. ”
Wuyang said, "It seems." The eldest brother is proud of the spring breeze. ”
Hu Jiansheng smiled and said, "Don't say it, where do I have to be as good as you." Last year, he was transferred from the government to Haiqing, where he served as a member of the Standing Committee and vice governor of a prefecture, in charge of urban management, agriculture, animal husbandry, and cash crops. The place was very poor, and out of the 7 counties in the state, 6 of them were national-level poverty-stricken counties. ”
Wuyang said: "The eldest brother has accumulated rich work experience in the central organs, and has a wide range of contacts, so he can get some funds from the central government. You can speed up the development there and do your best to get them out of poverty and become rich. ”
"Wuyang, I've been wanting your help for a long time. It is said that you are now famous for engaging in economic construction, and no matter where you are, you have been very successful in attracting investment, so would you like to teach me a little experience? ”
Wuyang said: "Where I am located, the economy has not yet developed, so how can there be any experience to teach." ”
Hu Jiansheng said: "Wuyang, it's not that you refuse to help, right? You helped Yan Yulong, who is now the same deputy mayor as me; You helped the fourth Xia Sheng. He is now the leader of Xinghuo Technology and a well-known scientist in China. Every year, tens of millions of dollars are obtained from the transformation of scientific research achievements. Now it's my turn to ask you for help, you can't push six-two-five, can you? ”
"Isn't the eldest brother's business my business? How can you shirk it? Big brother, what do you want me to do? ”
"After a few months of fieldwork, I decided that there was still a lot to be done in our state. We have a vast and sparsely populated area, vast land, good water conservancy resources, good climatic conditions, and most importantly, a large number of people who hope to get rid of poverty and become well-off. At present, although the state has intensified its efforts to help the poor, given preferential policies, and given a lot of funds, what we lack most is funds, and if you can go to us to invest in the development of agriculture and animal husbandry and the cultivation of fruits, you will certainly have a great future. If you invest in agriculture and animal husbandry, I guarantee that you will return on your investment in 5 years, if you invest in fruits, I guarantee that you will return on your investment in 10 years, and if you invest in medicinal materials, the future will be unlimited. ”
Wuyang smiled and said, "Big brother, the deputies are waiting for us to get on the bus, let's talk slowly in the future, okay?" ”
"Wuyang, you can finish it in a few words, it's okay for them to wait."
"Good. Big brother, tell me how to do it? ”
Hu Jiansheng said: "I think that in those places where a large amount of land can be collected, it can be operated by company groups, and in those places where the population is relatively concentrated, it can be carried out in the form of companies and farmers. Isn't the price of beef and mutton very high in your south, and if you breed cattle and sheep, you can sell them in the south, and apples can also be sold to you, and the medicinal materials are in short supply, and people can buy them at any time, and you don't have to worry about sales. ”
"Big brother, if I introduce a friend to invest in you, how much land can you provide, how many farmers can you organize, how many farmers can you organize? I have all kinds of friends, and depending on the size of the business, I invite them over. ”
Hu Jiansheng said: "Wuyang, shall I give you a more conservative number?" 10 million acres of land for planting pastures, 500,000 acres of land for planting medicinal herbs, and 1 million acres of land for planting fruit trees. If your friend can invest in some water conservancy facilities, this number will be doubled. Of course, this is not the land of one of our states, and some of the neighboring cities and states are also included in it. As for how many farmers can be organized to join, it is difficult to say. You have to choose others, and others have to choose you, and only when you talk to each other can you cooperate. ”
"Okay, big brother, this matter is on me. Big brother, in fact, my friend sent someone to the northwest last year to investigate, but he has not yet come up with a plan, nor has he conducted a feasibility study. Since my eldest brother knows the situation in your place so clearly, I just invite my friends to come over. Within 10 days of my eldest brother's return, my friend will definitely arrive. At that time, please give me a lot of support. ”
"Wuyang, let me first state that in our country, the ecosystem is very fragile, and if the grass is planted, it cannot be grazing, and it can only be cut to raise cattle and sheep."
Wuyang said: "This is understandable. Other than that, what are the contraindications? ”
"Nope."
"Okay, big brother, wait for my news. Big brother, there is time to walk around our hometown. ”
"Okay, I'll definitely come and learn from it. You are also welcome to lead a delegation to us for a project inspection, and I will give you a big surprise. ”
Wuyang smiled: "Big brother, what is the surprise, can you reveal a little?" ”
Hu Jiansheng said: "Since it is a surprise. Of course it can't be revealed. Besides. I am a lord who does not see rabbits and does not scatter eagles. Don't you know this yet? ”
"Okay, I'll come over when I'm free. Big brother, how about the four of us brothers having a meal in the evening? ”
"No, I'm at a low level, and without your freedom, the second child definitely can't ask for leave casually, just forget it. or when you come to me. Calling the second and fourth to go together? ”
"We'll talk about that then. Big brother, goodbye. ”
Back on the bus, sat down next to Secretary Teng, Secretary Teng said, "Director, you can go." Comrade Wuyang, who were you talking to just now? ”
"College roommate, vice governor of Haiqing a state standing committee. They are very poor there, and 6 of the 7 counties are national-level poverty-stricken counties, and they want me to help them. ”
"Did you say yes?"
Wuyang said: "I can't help but agree." Don't look at the face of your roommate, but also look at the face of the poor people there. ”
Secretary Teng said: "That's just the right time to take care of both public and private affairs." The State Ethnic Affairs Commission asked us to provide counterpart support outside one of the areas in Qinghai-Tibet. If we support another region in the west, our province will choose your classmate's state. ”
"Okay. With the support of the provincial party committee, the work will be carried out even better. Secretary, I have something to do later, so I have to stay here for a while and not return to the station for the time being. ”
"Shall we go back together?"
"I don't know, if you come, you come, if you don't come, you can't leave."
"Don't be in a hurry, do the work arranged by the superior head and go back again. Convey the spirit of the meeting, and the provincial party committee will make unified arrangements and deployments. There are also representatives in your city, so you can also convey them. ”
Arrived at the Great Hall of the People on time, and when Wuyang went up two steps, he was stopped by the sentry: "Stop, what are you doing?" ”
Wuyang hurriedly took out his representative card, "It's a meeting." ”
"There is no meeting in the afternoon, please come back."
Secretary Hu walked out, "Secretary Li, come up." Comrade, this is a senior cadre invited by the chief, please let me go. ”
The sentry said, "I'm sorry, chief, it's my duty. ”
Wuyang smiled and said, "You are loyal to your duties, there is nothing to be sorry for." ”
Secretary Hu pulled Wuyang and walked inside, and said with a smile: "Secretary Li, you are too young. ”
Wuyang said: "There's no way, if you don't shave, you look old, but don't you become an artist?" ”
"Secretary Li, thank you for what happened last time."
"Thank me for what? I didn't pay a penny, but I just worked hard for half a day. Besides, there's not much to do. ”
"It's not much, it's almost scared me to death."
"What are you afraid of? Only the two of us know. Besides, even if someone knows, we have neither violated discipline nor broken the law, and the sky will not fall. ”
"Yes, the sky is falling, and there is a tall man on top of it, so I will accept it."
"That's right. Please lead the way. ”
"Secretary Li, the chief still has a few secretaries, will it be ...... then?"
"Okay, you let them go to Lanjiang to find me in the future."
Secretary Hu said: "Secretary Li, if I want to find you, I'm afraid it will be very difficult. ”
Wuyang said: "It's okay to let their parents, parents-in-law, wives and children come, but they have to bring money, I can't pay for it, you know that." ”
Secretary Hu said, "I know." Although we have a low rank, we work next to the chief, and the subordinates are also suspected of accepting bribes from the superiors, and we cannot do this. ”
Wuyang said: "Yes, I am not merciful to you, that is, I am responsible for the chief." Director Hu, it's best to let your lover take them over, so that you have the money and you know what to do. ”
"Okay, I know you care about us, so I'll do as you say."
Entering the Haiqing Hall, the chief sat on the sofa, and after Wuyang said "Hello chief", the chief said to the two people present: "You all know each other, right?" This is Comrade Wuyang, the secretary of Lanjiang, and these two are Secretary Yang and Governor Xie of Haiqing Province. ”
Wuyang said: "I have heard the name early, and I have not dealt with it directly. Secretary Yang is good, Governor Xie is good. ”
After Secretary Yang and Governor Xie both said, "Comrade Wuyang is good", Secretary Yang continued: "Comrade Wuyang, I heard Comrade Hu Jiansheng say that you are ready to introduce investors to invest in their state, we are very happy, and we want to thank you." ”
Wuyang said: "Hu Jiansheng and I are college roommates, and our relationship is not ordinary. Hearing him say that there are 6 national-level poverty-stricken counties in the state, I feel uncomfortable. ”
Governor Xie said: "We reported this matter to the chief, and the chief told us that you have a lot of entrepreneur friends. I hope you can mobilize them all to come and invest. Give us a hand. We have been there for many years of landscape management. The environment has been greatly improved compared with before, and there is a good foundation for investment in agriculture and animal husbandry and cash crops. We hope that your friends will consider our province as an investment region. ”
Wuyang said: "With the sincere invitation of your provincial party committee and government, I don't think they will refuse." ”
Secretary Yang said: "Comrade Wuyang, when will your friend be able to make the trip?" ”
"I have already made an appointment with the people who went to Hu Jiansheng, and I can only make another appointment with the rest, and I can't say when I will be able to make the trip. However, please prepare actively when you go back. It should come soon. ”
Governor Xie said: "Okay, we will arrange a place for your friends to choose when we go back, and some necessary infrastructure construction will be put on the agenda." ”
Secretary Yang said: "Then we will leave and not disturb the chief." ”
Wuyang and the secretary sent them to the door, and when they came back, the chief smiled and said: "Comrade Wuyang, I also intercede for the fathers and villagers in the northwest, and ask you to go over and invest." ”
Wuyang said: "The chief's words, I will resolutely implement them." ”
"How much money can you come up with?"
"3 or 4 trillion is not a problem."
"Is it 3 or 4 trillion a year?"
"Chief, you're stumped on me."
"Don't be sloppy with me. I don't know you yet? I told you last year, and it's still the same way. You have to go to the northwest to invest 40 trillion yuan, whether you invest in a year or two, 10 years, 8 years, anyway, you have to invest so much, and the profits from the investment are not allowed to be withdrawn within 10 years, you must stay and continue to invest. ”
Wuyang said: "Chief, I just listen to you." Are there any project restrictions on these inputs? ”
"No, as long as it is conducive to the national economy and people's livelihood. Comrade Wuyang, this is an agreement between the two of us, don't spread it everywhere. ”
Wuyang said, "Can I preach? It's best to make a fortune in a muffled voice. However, with these funds, the Northwest will change a lot, and your achievements will go down in history. ”
The chief smiled and said: "History doesn't remember me, that's a matter for future generations, but it definitely won't remember you, you are the hero behind the scenes." I have told the leading comrades of the northwestern provinces and autonomous regions that you must not let me down if they contact you. ”
"Don't worry, chief, you won't be disappointed."
Out of the door, Wuyang was surrounded by the secretaries, governors, and chairmen of several western provinces and regions. "Secretary Li, when will you lead the delegation to our province?" Governor Huang said.
"Comrade Wuyang, we are all waiting for your funds." Secretary Hu said with a smile.
Wuyang smiled and said, "A few big bosses, why do you treat me?" ”
Secretary Hu said: "Eat original food, live in a five-star hotel, have a small car, off-road vehicle, you breed cattle and sheep, plant fruits and medicinal materials, we will give you where you like, and give you as much land as you want." We're going to surprise you. ”
"Secretary, what is the unexpected surprise you are talking about?"
Secretary Hu said: "Your friend doesn't want to plant medicinal materials, our research institute has tried to plant more than 10 varieties of Chinese medicinal materials unique to the northwest region, and can provide enough seedlings according to your needs, so that your friends can get rich benefits." ”
"Good. I would like to thank you in advance on behalf of my friends, and thank you all for your great support. I've already contacted my friend, and he's in the northwest now, so I'll tell you his phone number, and when you're ready to make a plan, let him go. ”
Governor Huang said: "Comrade Wuyang, your friend invested in the past, no matter what kind of project, as long as it is allowed by national law, we will have a green light all the way, and we will never be perfunctory. ”
Wuyang said with a smile: "Governor Huang, with your statement, my friend will be very happy to invest, regardless of whether he can make money or not." The whole impression of the northwest region is that there is a shortage of water, and it would be nice if the south-to-north water diversion project on the western route could be built well. ”
Wuyang knows that the rainfall in the northwest is not very small, and the main reason for the lack of water is that the rainfall is relatively concentrated, and the land cannot store water, so there will be floods when it rains, and there will be droughts if it does not rain. The main solution is afforestation. He sent people to dig fish scale pits on the Loess Plateau for afforestation, and every year there are nearly one million mu, and now there are more than 7 million mu. The early planting has become a forest, which has played a very good role in maintaining water and soil and controlling sandstorms, and the ensuing animal husbandry has also achieved remarkable results. What can be planted are some pine and birch trees, and the economic benefits are not good. His subordinate Xiaoshi planted Tasson in the Northeast and Russia. The material of Tasson is good. It can also produce pine nuts. The economic benefits will far exceed those of other tree species, and if Ta pine can be planted in the northwest region, the economic benefits of afforestation will be greatly improved. To say such things now is to direct the thinking of these princes in this direction.
Governor Huang said: "Comrade Wuyang, there is actually no shortage of water in our place, the main thing is that we can't save water. If large-scale afforestation can be carried out, the ecological environment can be changed and water can be conserved. There is no need to worry about the water needed for agriculture and animal husbandry. ”
"Okay, how are you going to do this well?"
Secretary Hu said: "It's not that we don't want to do it, it's that we can't do anything." In the early years, the state invested some money and planted a lot of trees, but due to the lack of follow-up funds, it was basically allowed to grow naturally, and I don't know how many are still alive. If your friends can invest in some water conservancy facilities and large-scale reforestation, it will be of great benefit to our ecosystems and to the agriculture and animal husbandry that they have invested in. If they also invest in industry. We will give the greatest discount to the extent permitted by law. ”
Wuyang said, "Thank you, secretary." I'll tell my friends. Investing in water conservancy facilities is something that can produce immediate results, and they are definitely willing to do it, but afforestation can only take at least 10 years to see benefits, and if the state's policy is the same as afforestation in the desert, they can only plant but not cut down, they are doing their duty. If you leave the forest here, even if you do your duty, it's good, but if you are afraid that if you plant it, people will cut down sheep and gnaw it, and you won't be able to become a forest at all, and it will be a waste of hard work. ”
Governor Huang said: "Now that the ecological awareness of the people has improved a lot, the situation of cutting down small saplings will not happen, we will arrange it, strictly implement the country's "Forest Law", your friend will plant trees, and our forest police will be responsible for protection, which is always okay." As for whether the state allows logging, it is really not up to us to have the final say. However, we don't have an old saying that if we leave the green mountains without firewood, we can burn a lot of charcoal every year even if we cut down the branches. Now the key question is how big a forest farm your friend can invest in, if the scale is large, it is worth doing, and if the scale is too small, it is not something we should consider. ”
"I asked my friends to take a long-term view, and spend 3 to 5 years planting trees, how much land can you provide?" ”
Governor Huang said with a smile: "We are full of barren mountains there, and your friend wants to plant trees, so he signed an agreement with the local government to plant trees, and there is no area limit." We'll arrange it when we go back, and we can start this year. You get your friends ready right away. ”
Secretary Hu said: "Comrade Wuyang, can your friend invest so much money according to the boss's requirements?" If you can invest, does it have to be 10 years? ”
"I don't know how much money my friends have, but one thing I know is that the purpose of their investment is to pursue profits, and if they can make money, or let them see a bright future, they will be willing to invest, and they will invest as soon as possible, and strive to achieve benefits. If the profits obtained are not transferred away according to the boss's requirements, they will invest early and achieve results as soon as possible, and the snowball of profits will not be able to roll even bigger. ”
Secretary Hu said: "Comrade Wuyang, can your friend invest in industry in addition to planting and breeding?" ”
Wuyang said: "Of course you can put it in." Whatever good projects you have, whatever projects they have, they will put it in. The investment in real planting and breeding does not need a lot, and the investment in industrial projects is the focus. ”
Secretary Hu said: "Okay, we have a plan in our hearts, and we will prepare immediately when we go back." Comrade Wuyang, can you take the time to come here? We're talking to you, but we can't deal with those merchants. ”
"Secretary, on the one hand, you should make preparations, and on the other hand, arrange for people from functional departments to deal with them. I'll go back and I'll do a lot of things, so I'll go over when it's a little straightened out, okay? ”
"Okay, it's best if you can come early April next year, the weather is warmer there, it's the most pleasant time, and it's time for agricultural and animal husbandry production to plan for the whole year."
"Okay, I'll try to get here, I'll call in advance then."
exchanged phone numbers with each other, Wuyang gave them Zhang Lichen's mobile phone number, and said goodbye. (To be continued......)
