"Yes, the total length of the highway is 55 kilometers, and the estimated investment is 8 billion."

"So many trucks are used to transport materials for road repairs, right?"

"Some are, some don't. You see the dirtier ones that transport supplies, and the cleaner ones that transport the products of copper ore. ”

"What are the products of the copper mines?"

"Mostly copper and stone bricks. Our copper mine started production at the beginning of December, and the daily copper production is not much, all the slag is made into bricks, and the production of stone bricks is more. ”

"What are the stones and bricks used for?"

"Mainly low-rise buildings, because of the high density of stone, used in high-rise buildings, the load-bearing is somewhat unbearable. We are now promoting the use of stone bricks in the county's residential buildings, and stone bricks are used when building roads and ditches, and when building scenic spots. In the future, the county will build water conservancy, and it will also be used. ”

Wuyang asked: "Is there a lot of stone bricks in stock now?" ”

"It's the dry season now, and people are building more houses, plus building roads and scenic spots, so there is no inventory. If it's the rainy season, it's sure to be more. Secretary, the volume of stone bricks is larger than that of red bricks, the strength is high, and our selling price is cheaper than that of red bricks and cement bricks, which should be promoted in the whole city. ”

Wuyang said: "The government is similar to issuing a few press releases in newspapers and TV stations, and the real promotion still depends on your county government and the smelter itself." ”

"We know that. Secretary, we are going to open a sales point in each county, and when we have inventory in the rainy season, we will disperse it and pile it up at each sales point. There is also the sale of copper, which we are preparing near the entrance to the highway, near the nearest railway station. Warehouses are set up. When there is a sale. Shipment is fast. ”

"Stone bricks, you handle it well. In addition to the copper warehouse near the highway, you must go to the Spring City freight station to build a warehouse. The trains at the nearby railway stations are all narrow-gauge, which cannot be directly connected with the railways of the whole country, and they will have to be loaded and unloaded once at that time, not to mention the increased cost, but also time-consuming and laborious. It just so happens that Governor Duan is here, and when the time comes, you will ask the governor to help approve a piece of land. ”

Governor Duan said: "Without further ado. You should send the report to the Provincial Department of Land and Resources, and I will ask them to coordinate with the Chuncheng City Government to approve it at the beginning of the year. ”

Qiang Jian said: "Thank you, Governor. ”

Governor Duan said: "There is nothing to say, it is our duty to serve economic construction. Comrade Qiangjian, what other by-products do you have from your copper mines? ”

Qiang Jian said: "Governor, we don't care about the by-products. When we built the smelter, we had no capital, no technology, and very few copper by-products. We just want copper, and we exchange ownership of the by-product for investment from investors. ”

"How much did you invest?"

"20 billion. 30 smelting furnaces. 5 million US dollars per unit, which is nearly 10 billion yuan, from the high-voltage transmission line from Chuncheng to the factory, as well as plants, machinery and equipment, living quarters and so on. In addition, the wages and benefits of all workers after production are paid by the investor. ”

Governor Duan said with a smile: "The investment of other capitalists is to be returned, and the by-products are definitely indispensable. ”

Qiang Jian said: "This is natural, but the copper mine, the copper content in the ore is high, and the content of other metals is very low, and the highest is only a few parts per thousand." In addition, the production of stone bricks has solved the employment problem of more than 3,000 people, and the wages given by investors are relatively high, and front-line workers will not be less than 5,000 yuan per month. ”

"Are these workers from your county?"

"It's 97 percent in the county."

"In this way, in a year, your county's salary income alone is nearly 200 million, and the sales revenue of copper is the net income of your county, how much can it be in a year?"

Qiang Jian said: "I don't know the future sales, if they can be sold, it should be more than 6 billion." ”

"So, you're a win-win situation. How many years will your copper mine be able to produce at its current output? ”

"According to exploration, copper has been drilled 700 meters underground, and it will not be mined in 100 years. However, in the future, the production will be gradually expanded, and as long as electricity allows, it will be increased to 100 smelting furnaces. ”

Governor Duan said: "Comrade Wuyang, you have planted a cash cow. ”

Wuyang said: "Governor, the autonomous county is the poorest place in the city, many people are still struggling with food and clothing, first of all, we must invest funds to develop production, improve people's livelihood, and then infrastructure, education, water conservancy, etc., all need a lot of funds, but also to establish a sound social welfare system for urban and rural residents, but also inseparable from money." These are all done well, and then we will make it a regular tax-paying enterprise, can you bear with it? ”

Qiang Jian said: "Secretary, we are now very formal, selling copper to other enterprises, it is not possible without VAT invoices, people do not have input deductions, the tax rate will be very high, I can't stand it." ”

Wuyang smiled: "That's because I don't understand the situation." Where do we eat at noon? Don't go hungry, Governor. ”

"I have already arranged for the construction headquarters of Fan Weiliang's scenic spot, and they will be ready for a while. Governor, secretary, shall we go to the smelter first? ”

Governor Duan said: "Take a look, look at Comrade Wuyang's cash cow." ”

The vehicle drove into the factory and stopped in front of a wooden house, Guo Xiangli was talking to two people in front of the door, and when he saw a group of people coming from Wuyang, he greeted with a smile: "The leader is here, please come in." ”

Qiang Jian said: "Boss Guo, we won't disturb your work, right?" ”

"No, you're not going to be able to invite guests. Secretary Qiang, this leader has never been here, it seems that he is a big official. ”

"Yes, it's Governor Duan."

"Governor, please come in. I'll make tea. ”

After serving tea, Wuyang said: "Governor, Boss Guo is my friend, and I introduced him here." ”

Governor Duan said with a smile: "You are a strongman in economic construction, I guess when you arrive at a place, your friends will all come to help, right?" ”

"It's not that they help in vain, they all make money. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to help. Lao Guo, what are the by-products of copper mines? How much is it? ”

"There are several by-products, and the gold content is around three grams per tonne. The silver content is around 60 grams per ton. The tin content is equivalent to half that of copper. ”

"Then you have income from tin products alone. You can pay for your daily expenses, right? ”

"Secretary Li, we have only been in production for more than a month now, and the products are basically not sold, and when the sales channels are established, they should be able to maintain. However, it is not enough to maintain it, as you have just seen, we have prepared a large site, and we also have to purchase smelting equipment and machinery equipment. It is also necessary to increase the number of workers and expand production. ”

"Okay, if you make it bigger, you will make a big profit." Wuyang said this, but he was thinking in his heart that 100 smelting furnaces, each smelting furnace smelts about 2,400 tons of ore every day, not to mention how to mine so many ores, not to mention how to deal with these stone bricks, just to transport these metal products, it will require a huge capacity.

Don't worry about him, anyway, Guo Xiangli wants to increase the smelting furnace. It can only be increased slowly, and when the contradiction is highlighted. He must have been a smart man.

Guo Xiangli said: "Secretary Li, a friend of yours brought you something from his hometown, please go with me to get it." ”

"yes, what a good thing." Wuyang knew that it must be Guo Xiangli who was looking for an excuse to talk to him, so he followed him to another room.

"Brother-in-law, what's the matter?"

"County Magistrate Tang called and said that you might come to the factory, and I prepared 3 pieces of gold with you, 6 yuan each, do you think you can take it away?"

"You take it to them yourself and see if they want it, I don't want it anyway."

"Okay, I'll give it to them later. In the afternoon sun, the gold and rare metals produced here were shipped back and stored in the financial city, but these silvers are not easy to deal with. It's a lot of money, and it's worthless, so it's a bit of a chicken rib. ”

Wuyang smiled: "Brother-in-law, you are really broadened now, and you can't look down on anything for a few dollars a gram." ”

"Isn't that for gold?"

"Let's all ship it back, the storage capacity of the financial city is still very large, and there will be a new place to store it after a while. Brother-in-law, now Xiao Qi's sister's father and brother's processing factory, the silver processed and sold every year, the lowest-priced handicrafts are 7 yuan per gram, and the most complex handicrafts are more than 20 yuan, don't underestimate these silver. By the way, Yu Huijuan's cable company needs a lot of copper, you can contact her and see if she wants it. ”

Guo Xiangli said: "I have already been contacted, Yu Huijuan said, how many you want." Now she has bought tens of thousands of acres of land and is building a warehouse to stock up on Lion Rock and our copper. ”

"This woman is a careerist, not counting the financial expenses."

"Wuyang, in fact, with the rise in prices, saving money is far better than hoarding goods. She doesn't just hoard copper, as long as it's non-ferrous metals, she's hoarding. I think it's a smart thing to do, but it needs a lot of money. ”

"That's nothing, we don't worry about that. Alright, let's get over it. ”

Guo Xiangli carried the bag of gold, went to the living room, and said with a smile: "Governor, Secretary Qiang, Secretary Li divided the local products into two parts and gave them to you." ”

Governor Duan said: "Comrade Wuyang, don't you keep it for yourself? ”

Wuyang said: "These are the specialties of my hometown, I can often eat them, you and Comrade Qiang Jian are rare to meet, and I usually don't want to send them for this little thing." Boss Guo, you can lift me into the car. ”

Qiang Jian said: "Secretary, I haven't sent anything to you yet, I'm sorry." ”

"Isn't this a coincidence, so you're welcome. There's no need to send me something, just arrange a drink in the evening. ”

"Well, when I was celebrating New Year's Day, I asked them to let me drink two wines at the hotel in the city, and I drank them at night. Governor, let's eat. ”

When I arrived at Fan Weiliang's scenic spot construction headquarters, Fan Weiliang was already at the door to greet him. "Chiefs, my conditions here are simple, please bear with me."

Governor Duan said: "I am very happy to see that you are building a large construction site, and the whole county is like a big construction site." How to build the motherland? That's what you are. ”

Fan Weiliang said: "Our work has just begun, and there are still many imperfections, so we still need to ask the chief for more advice." ”

"Okay, we are here to put forward opinions, we won't drink at noon, everyone is sober-minded to observe things, think about problems, and strive not to leave too many regrets in the construction of the scenic spot."

"Good. Good. There was a cheer from the room. Bright lights and flashes are on. It turned out to be a group of reporters coming.

"Strong comrade. What's going on? Governor Duan asked.

Qiang Jian said with a smile: "Chief, the construction of the scenic spot has begun, and the history of the scenic spot will turn a new page, so we have to leave some information for history." ”

"Okay, whatever you want. We ate and were hungry. ”

When I returned to the county seat for dinner, I drank a piece of strong red wine, and Wuyang was about to go to Huili Ning. Received a call from Cai Limin. "Master, there is a bit of an urgent matter here, I would like to ask you for help, can you come over?"

"What's the matter?"

"That's right, a few days ago, two big drug lords, one man and one woman, ran out of the border line, and the military region sent two men and two women and four special combat personnel to sneak across the border to arrest them, but they ran into a local armed group and protected the drug lords, and their conditions were two. Pick one or match. Either a drug lord for a ton of gold. Of course, the special combat team members could only choose to compete, and as a result, both male team members returned injured. ”

"What can I do when I go?"

"Master, can you go to the martial arts competition? The injured team members have fought in the past, and their martial arts are much higher than mine, but if you compare with your master, it will be far worse, and you will definitely win in the past. ”

"This kind of thing should be in charge of the border detachment of the armed police, how did you take care of it?"

"Master, this male drug lord used to be a non-commissioned officer of the special brigade of the army, and after retiring, he somehow embarked on the road of drug trafficking, and the army didn't want to solve it quietly. The border detachment of the armed police is in charge of smuggling and trafficking drugs, but cannot leave the country to arrest people. ”

"I'm accompanying a deputy governor, go ask him for leave, if I can ask for help, when will I go?"

"The time they made an appointment is 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, and it will take about half an hour to drive a motorcycle from us to the agreed place."

"What about driving a car?"

"It's a forest path, and you can't drive a car."

"Limin, if you can't win again, can you send gold?"

"I don't know, we don't have that much gold."

"You don't care about this, it's just how to transport the gold?"

"You don't have to transport the gold, you can just send it to the border."

"Okay, you arrange your accommodation, and I'll go ask for leave immediately."

Wuyang first called Guo Xiangli and asked him to arrange a small truck to send two tons of gold, and then asked Governor Duan for leave, of course, he couldn't say it directly, he just said that he had a private matter, and he was going to leave for two days, and he would come back as soon as he was done.

Governor Duan said: "It's okay, you just need to get things done, it doesn't matter if you can't get over or not, if it takes a long time, call me and tell me." ”

"Okay. Governor, I'll send you souvenirs to your room. ”

Governor Duan whispered: "I know what it is, so I don't need it, really, I made so much money from gambling stones that day, what are you doing with these things?" ”

Wuyang smiled: "What you said also makes sense, don't let these yellow and white things get your hands dirty." ”

Beckon Qiangjian to come over, take away the things, and don't want Qiangjian, "Boss, you work in the city, come to us, the city is the only way, it must not be a local specialty, you better give it back to Boss Guo for me." ”

rushed to the hotel where Li Ning lived, and the two performed another passion play, and then Wu Yang said: "Li Ning, I have something to leave soon, and now I don't know when to come back, you can only go back to the city, wait for my call." ”

Li Ning smiled: "I won't wait for your call, I'll stay at your house when I go back tomorrow." Secretary, do you think I'm disobedient? ”

"There is a point, I said east, you prefer to go west."

"Actually, I'm just coquettish. You say, I go to work every day, I always keep a straight face in front of my colleagues, when I was young before, I didn't have a coquettish object, but now I'm finally caught, you're a big husband, I'm a little lover, it's okay to be coquettish. ”

Wuyang smiled: "When the two of us are coquettish, it's no problem to be coquettish, but when you get home, you are a big sister, you take the lead in being coquettish, and my head will be big." ”

"Okay, good, I'll be obedient."

Driving the box truck sent by Guo Xiangli, when he arrived at Cai Limin's camp headquarters, it was already half past eleven. Cai Limin and two female soldiers in military uniforms and with the rank of lieutenant were waiting at the door of the barracks. Wuyang saw that the two of them had clear eyebrows, tall figures, and about the same height, 1.70 meters tall, one was a melon seed face, and the other was a goose egg face. The skin tone is similar, and they are all healthy wheat colors.

"Master, thank you for your hard work."

Wuyang got out of the car and glanced at the two female soldiers, "Limin, didn't you let me come to the show, did you?" ”

"What's wrong?"

"These two are movie stars, right?"

The two girls laughed, and the egg-faced girl said, "Chief, you can't make fun of us, we are so thick, where will we look like movie stars." ”

Wuyang said, "How can it be stout? It's just plumpness. You are a special combat unit, you should be so heroic and cool, too thin and thin, you look weak, how can you have the strength to complete the task? ”

Another girl with a melon seed face said, "Thank you, chief, for the compliment." Let me introduce myself, I am Zhou Ke. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and shook hands with Wuyang.

Wuyang felt the power coming from his hand and smiled, "This is the most powerful woman's hand I have ever held." ”

Zhou Ke said with a smile: "The chief's hand is as thick as ours, not like the hands of a great intellectual." ”

Another girl also shook hands with Wuyang, "Chief, I'm talking and laughing." Talk is talk of talk. ”

"Do you like to laugh?"

"When I became a soldier, I rarely smiled."

"What's the matter, the troops still don't allow girls to laugh?"

"No, the main reason is that the training intensity is too high, in addition to sweat, mud, and tears."

"Then it's no wonder. But you should be proud that it is your blood and sweat that have brought happiness and peace to hundreds of millions of people. ”

Tan Xiao said: "Thank you for your understanding. ”

"Okay, Limin, you can't let us stand here and talk all the time."

"Master, the conditions of the battalion headquarters are limited, that is, two rooms are cleaned up next to our dormitory, and the two male team members are living in the hospital, so you can live in their rooms, and I will take you there."

Entering the room, there are two 1-meter-wide single beds, covered with crisp white sheets, and a neatly folded grass-green quilt is placed at one end of the bed.

Cai Limin poured water for Wuyang, and told him the direction of the toilet, and said, "Master, I'm going to check the shop and check the sentry, you should rest early." ”

Wuyang spread out the quilt, but he couldn't find the pillow, and searched for it in the wall cabinet and bedside table, but there was nothing. I took the quilt on the other bed as a pillow and prepared to brush my teeth and wash my face to sleep.

At this time, Zhou Kehe came over with a smile, both of them were wearing shirts, military pants, and sandals. Tan Xiao saw Wuyang using the quilt as a pillow, "Chief, I can't get used to sleeping on a hard bed without pillows." ”

"The hard bed is fine, but there are no pillows, how can I sleep?" (To be continued......)
