Chapter 578: Catching a Big Fish
Secretary Teng said: "It's a good thing to go to investigate, I think I should go." However, with all due respect, it is very close to the northwest of our country, the climate is not good, and it will not be much larger than our county, which is relatively backward, and in my opinion it is not very significant. ”
"Secretary Teng has been to Kobdo?"
"No, I've been to Ulaanbaatar, that's what it is."
Director Zhang said: "I heard that Kobdo's iron ore reserves are very rich, and our Lanjiang iron and steel company has strong technical force and abundant funds, if we can mine a mine there and build a large branch factory, the profit will definitely be considerable." The income tax rate in neighboring countries is low, and the branch factory transfers the profits back, so we can also collect some income tax. Since there are many mineral deposits, it is not necessarily only iron ore. With the income from the mines, Kobdo will soon become rich, and this is the purpose of becoming a sister city. ”
Secretary Teng said with a smile: "It turns out that Director Zhang has already arranged it, so let's go." Comrade Wuyang, the city is busy with work, come back early. Director Zhang, you can chat with me here, and the secretary will go to the reception to arrange lunch. ”
"Thank you, secretary, we won't bother. This time, Comrade Shaowen and I went to Lanjiang, and Comrade Wuyang gave him meticulous hospitality, and when we arrived in Chuncheng, Comrade Shaowen should do his best to be a landlord. Secretary, would you like to invite you to participate in our activities? ”
Teng Zhimin smiled and said: "I'm not going, with me, you young people are uncomfortable." Shaowen, toast me a few more glasses of wine. ”
"Okay. Secretary, when it is convenient for you, I invite you. ”
The tobacco company is the agency unit of the provincial government, and the right to appoint and remove personnel and funds are all in the head office, so Qi Shaowen's speech is not as restrained as Wuyang.
Before going out. Wuyang turned around and said, "Secretary." You can rest assured of Lanjiang's work. Funds for the construction of water conservancy. I arranged to go to the bank for a loan first, and as soon as the dry season came, I would start work immediately. ”
Secretary Teng smiled and said, "Comrade Wuyang, I will definitely rest assured of your work." When you go out with Director Zhang, pay more attention to your studies and do more chores. ”
"Okay."
After going downstairs, Director Zhang said, "Shaowen." Ready to take us on a chic walk, right? ”
"Big brother, there's a sister-in-law in the car."
"I didn't let you take us to play with color, what does it matter if your sister-in-law is here? What else is there to do besides this? ”
"Big brother, otherwise let's go to the company's production base. The base is on the edge of Dianchi Lake, we have built some houses, planted dozens of acres of vegetables and fruits, surrounded hundreds of acres of water, and raised hundreds of cages of fish. We eat fruit and fish. ”
"Well, it's the best place like this. Brother Wuyang. Interested? ”
"Big brother, I don't care. It's good that you and your sister-in-law are happy. ”
Qi Shaowen said: "Brother Li doesn't play cards, so let's go fishing and play." ”
Drove to the base, it turned out that it was not on the edge of Dianchi Lake, but on the side of a river that flows into Dianchi Lake, which is a backwater bay in the river. Piers were made of steel in the bay, and barbed wire was fastened to the piers, and hundreds of cages were placed in the barbed wire.
"Brother Qi, are you fishing in a cage?" Wuyang asked.
"You can fish inside the cage or outside the cage. There are not many fish outside the cage, but you can catch large catfish. ”
"How big?"
Qi Shaowen said: "The bigger this catfish is, the more expensive it is. Generally, if you raise it for two years, it will grow to 4 or 5 catties, which is 14 yuan a catty, and if you raise it for 5 or 6 years, it will cost 60 yuan a catty. Now inside the cage, the earliest was stocked when I was the director, about 6 or 70 pounds, and the outside of the cage was many years earlier, about 86 years old, and there were no cages at that time. No one knows how big it is, and no one has caught it for years. ”
Wuyang asked: "Qi Dong, the same kind of fish, different sizes, why is the price difference so big?" ”
Qi Shaowen said: "It tastes different. The fish is small, the flesh is relatively loose, and although it is fresh when cooked, it is not chewy, and the fish is different when it is large. Also, the belly of the big fish is similar to the fat pork, and those who like to eat fatty meat, the fat pork does not dare to eat it, and it will be fine if they eat the fish. In addition, the stomach of a large fish may have a pound or two, fried separately, and the taste is excellent, while the stomach of a small fish is too small to cook alone. ”
Wuyang remembered that now there are dishes on the Lujiang River that fry frog belly, is it the same as this fish stomach?
"Do you fish with earthworms or loaches?"
"There are earthworms and loaches here, whatever you want."
After getting out of the car, Qi Shaowen asked people to arrange a box, and immediately asked people to bring fishing rods and bait. Fishing rods are small bamboo rods, about two meters long, with a wheel at the end of the larger one, and the line on the top is very thin. Wuyang asked: "With such a small line, can you catch big fish?" ”
The employee said: "Boss, this is a nylon line, as long as it does not encounter fire, it is constantly pulled, you can rest assured that you can catch it." ”
"Okay, please take some of the bait you usually put to make a nest."
"Boss, the water is flowing, so it's not good to make a nest."
"Leave it alone, just take more."
Wuyang took the fishing rod, brought a chair, and stepped on the wooden plank on the top of the cage and walked to the middle. When they reached the barbed wire, which was already the edge of the cage, they sat down, caught a live loach, hung it on a fishing hook, and threw it into the water.
After a while, a girl came over with a bag of bait and a large umbrella. "Boss, bring you bait and parasols."
"Thank you, on the board."
"I'll hold you up an umbrella."
The afternoon sun put the bait, and the girl skillfully propped up the big umbrella.
"Little sister, are you an employee here?"
"No, I'm here for a summer job."
"What grade are you in?"
"I've graduated from high school, I've been admitted to college, and I'm going to earn some money for tuition."
"How much do you earn a day from a part-time job?"
"Not fixed. If there are guests fishing, they come over to help the guests do something, chat with them, and tip them with the guests. ”
Wuyang didn't speak again, and glanced at the girl, who was still a yellow-haired girl, and Zhou Zheng's face was thin and black. Significant malnutrition. Wearing a shirt with blue, green, and yellow flowers on a white background. A pair of jeans looked like they had empty legs.
The girl didn't speak when she saw the afternoon sun. He said, "Boss, some guests like to be quiet when fishing, and you are the same, right?" I'm leaving. ”
"Don't go, let's talk. Little sister, who else is there in the family? ”
"And mom and brother."
"What about your father?"
"My father drowned in the river."
"Then your family is quite difficult, and the government doesn't have some subsidies?"
"Yes. But my mother farmed and could only make ends meet, and my younger brother was 14 years old. I can eat it in particular, and some subsidies have filled my stomach. Now my family's money is not enough to support me to go to university, so I can only earn some money to pay for my tuition. ”
"It's already early September, you should report to work."
"The school is in Spring City, I have already registered, but I haven't paid the money, and I will start military training tomorrow, and I haven't received clothes."
"Which university?"
"It's the key university."
"Okay, good grades. You take a break here. I'll figure it out for you. Oh, the fish bites. ”
Because there are no buoys. Wuyang's fingers have been pressed on the line, and the fish bites and pulls, and he knows it immediately. Pull sharply to make the hook steady. The force of the fish is very large, desperately pulling, Wuyang saw that the line was very long, when the fish pulled, he put the line, the fish did not pull violently, he closed the line. The bamboo pole is held in the hand, and the person sits on the chair, and it is not tiring.
The girl ran to carry the net, but the fish was still nowhere to be seen. After pulling for an hour, I finally saw the fish, and after a while, the fish's belly turned up. The girl used a copy net to copy, but the fish's head couldn't enter the net at all.
"Little sister, please go and change the big copying network."
The girl hurriedly ran away, and after a while, the girl came with a net, and the employees of the base came with hemp ropes in their hands. "Boss, the diameter of the net just now is 40 centimeters, and it is the largest net we have here. This netting is done temporarily, and the steel ring is definitely fine, but the net may not be able to afford it. In this way, after being copied into the net, you can't lift it up, you can only go into the water to wear hemp rope. ”
Soon the fish was copied into the net, and the whole picture of the fish could be seen clearly. In addition to the white belly, the whole body of the fish is black, with two long whiskers, a flattened, wide head, a very thick body near the head, and a tail that is not too big.
Copying in the net, who will go into the water and wear hemp rope? The employee looked at Wuyang, shook his head and said, "Boss, no way, I'm a landlubber." ”
"Do any of you here know how to water?"
The employee said, "Boss, the water here is so deep that no one dares to go into the water." ”
Wuyang said, "Let's find a way to pull it to a shallow place." ”
"Boss, the cages are all fixed on the bracket, I'm afraid there is no way to move."
The girl said, "Don't be so troublesome, I'll go into the water and thread the hemp rope into the gills." ”
Wuyang smiled and said: "Little sister, how can you let you go into the water, let's go down, I have excellent water nature." ”
"I grew up by the river, I can walk, I can swim."
"Little sister, it's not that I said something unlucky, your father must be better than you, didn't he also encounter an accident?"
"That's because I got entangled in a fishing net and didn't have a tool to cut it. Boss, you can rest assured, you will be fine. ”
The girl took the hemp rope and was about to go into the water, and Wuyang saw that the hemp rope was relatively long, so he asked the girl to tie one end to her waist and use the other end to pierce the fish, and the middle was in her hand. With his own strength, there is no certainty in pulling the fish up, and it will definitely be no problem to pull a person of dozens of catties.
The girl jumped, and the catfish struggled desperately for a while, but still let the girl succeed. Wuyang saw that the girl had been treading water with her feet, the water was really good, and she would definitely not be able to do it if she changed herself, not to mention wearing clothes.
Wuyang pulled the girl up, "Come in and change your clothes." ”
The girl said, "The fish is so big, let's pull it together." ”
Wuyang said, "No, you pack your things, I'll come alone." ”
The girl said, "Boss, I may have 300 pounds, and I can't afford it." ”
"It's okay, you get out of the way, I'll pull it up and drag it back."
The employee said: "Boss, I'll take the Internet café, in case the hemp rope breaks, the fish won't run." ”
"Okay, you just don't have to push it too hard." With this weight, Wuyang's self-confidence is still difficult. Sure enough, the hemp rope was not broken, and the fish was lifted up and dragged away immediately. Such a big fish can't be lifted. It's too long, too.
Back to the house. Employees weigh the fish. There are 286 pounds. Director Zhang and Qi Shaowen both came over at this time, and Wuyang said, "Big brother, let's eat this fish." ”
Qi Shaowen said: "The fish for lunch has been prepared, it is not so big, and it is more than 70 catties." Brother, bring the fish back. With such a big fish, it must taste good. ”
Wuyang smiled: "It's okay, but you have to tell me how to do it." Brother Qi. I didn't bring that much cash, is there a computer transfer? ”
"Brother, didn't you hit me in the face?"
"Brother Qi, you know, we don't care about this money, otherwise this is the case, I will transfer the money to the base account, will you give the money to that little sister? She was admitted to a key university and had no money to go to school. ”
Qi Shaowen said: "Brother, since you want to help her, I am also unwilling to be left behind." I'm also out some. ”
Brother Zhang said: "Shaowen, playing mahjong is your forte. The three of us come to play 10 mahjong, and the cards do not enter the money, are they all given to the little sister? ”
Of course, the two of them agreed, and after Wuyang transferred money on the computer in the mahjong room, he began to play mahjong. Set the rules, fire 10,000 guns, and touch 20,000 per person. Brother Zhang touched 3 handfuls, Qi Shaowen touched 5 handfuls, Wuyang also lit a shot for each of them, out of 180,000, and then the three of them laughed and transferred the money.
The girl changed her clothes and came back, and Qi Shaowen told her about the matter, and asked her to go with the cashier of the base to collect the money after dinner. After the girl thanked her, she asked the three of them for their mobile phone numbers, and Brother Zhang left under the pretext that Wuyang and Qi Shaowen gave her the number. The girl made a note of it, "Thank you to the bosses." My name is Liu Hui, and I will definitely study hard in the future and repay the kindness of several people. ”
Qi Shaowen said: "Liu Hui, what you want to thank is this Secretary Li, and I earned all my money with his help." After graduation, be sure to call me and I will arrange a job for you. ”
"Okay, thank you Uncle Qi, thank you Uncle Pear."
Wuyang said, "No thanks. Liu Hui, I work in Lanjiang and have time to play. If you want to work during the winter and summer vacations, Uncle Qi can't arrange it, I can arrange it. ”
"Okay, I'll contact the two benefactors."
Wuyang moved the catfish to the car, and after dinner, he said goodbye to Brother Zhang and they went back to Lanjiang. The fish made by my uncle has a different taste, and it is also delicious.
On September 6, Wuyang took Guo Ruilan and Haini to the capital, accompanied by Liu Bingqiu. This is according to Director Zhang's requirements, it is necessary to have the strength of the entrepreneur in the past. Although Guo Ruilan and Haini will not be smaller than Liu Bingqiu, Liu Bingqiu is the chairman of many companies and is on the list of entrepreneurs, so some things are easier to do.
Director Zhang also brought several entrepreneurs under him, and of course, swallows must also be brought. Wuyang and his entourage got off the plane in the capital, and the people arranged by Brother Zhang waited at the airport, took Hainie's passport and left, and let them stay in the airport hotel for one night. Wuyang watched the car leave, and then remembered that he should go to live in the Jingyun community, and the car had already soared far away. The next day, I got on the plane again and stayed in the capital for more than 10 hours.
There are not many people who come, and the stay may not be very long, but the preparation is still very good. First of all, the hotel in Ulaanbaatar is a five-star hotel owned by Cao Jianguo, and although the conditions are worse in other cities, it is also the best arrangement. The means of transportation, the helicopter has been arranged by Director Zhang, the car is arranged by Cao Jianguo, and there are two Humvees in the hotel where he stays in each city.
In other aspects, the guides are also well connected in various places, and they are all people who are familiar with the local geography and understand Chinese. Such people are not difficult to find in Mongolia, they have to send a lot of publicly-funded students every year, and after returning to China after completing their studies, they have become talents for local economic construction, and with Cao Jianguo's financial resources, it is easy to ask them to serve for a few days. The most difficult thing is the map, a map of a country, involving state secrets, can not be shown, but fortunately, Director Zhang has great powers and has done it.
Before Wuyang left home, he called Grandpa Zhang, who was far away in Europe to buy cultural relics, and asked him what he had to say. Grandpa Zhang said solemnly: "Wuyang, you have to pay attention, if you don't care, I still want you to go next time." Their underground is buried with the tombs of Genghis Khan and other emperors and generals, and others can't find it, so you have this ability, and you have to make good use of it. ”
Wuyang smiled and said, "Grandpa, you can't let me be a government official to be the captain of the school, right?" ”
"You don't need to dig it, you mark it on the map, leave a mark on the field, and I'll take someone to dig it. The people of the Central Plains pay attention to feng shui, even if the grave is flat, I can also guess that eight or nine are not far from ten. I don't have a problem with the prairie people. ”
"Oh well. Grandfather. Do you still have funds? ”
"I have a cashier's check from a Swiss bank. I have enough money. I'm more of a trade-in with them, and if they like my jadeite objects, they can swap them. However, many of these Chinese cultural relics were sold to foreigners during the Ming Dynasty trade, and now I am buying and exchanging them at tens of thousands of times, or even hundreds of thousands of times, and I feel really uncomfortable thinking about it. ”
"You can do it. I don't approve of buying porcelain, calligraphy, painting, and bronze are pretty much the same. The underground warehouse of our museum is full of porcelain, what else do you want to buy it for? ”
Grandpa Zhang smiled: "Is there an end to your money and promotion?" My thirst for these artifacts. There is no end to it. Before I came, I had already told Xiong Gangqiang that I would expand the museum and build 20 exhibition halls. ”
"I don't have time to ask about your museum, and I'm not interested."
"Silly boy, grandpa is almost 90 years old, how many years can he live? These things will be yours in the future, you are young now, busy with work, busy with women, and it is normal to have no interest. Later you retired. What a pleasant thing it is to admire these relics every day. ”
"Good. If you want to do it, you can do it. Grandpa, is there a museum that doesn't sell tickets and charge money, just our museum, you can come in and visit with your ID card, driver's license and other documents, and you don't charge any fees. You said that it is to popularize the knowledge of cultural relics, but how can there be no tuition fees for learning knowledge? The country's nine-year compulsory education, students still pay a lot of money. If I had known that this was the case, I might have saved a lot of money by building a warehouse. ”
"You have so much money, don't you want to give back to society? We sell imitations of cultural relics and exchange cultural relics with other museums, isn't this all income? You're not happy, I can't do anything about it anyway. Wuyang, I will return to China for the New Year, and when the time comes, I will take you to appreciate the cultural relics in our collection, and you will be interested. ”
"I'm afraid I don't have time. Grandpa, take care and goodbye. ”
Arrived at Ulaanbaatar and walked out of the airport, someone was already holding a sign with the words "Welcome Secretary Li", Wuyang approached and said with a smile: "You don't distinguish between priority and priority, Director Zhang is the leader, why did you write me instead?" ”
The pick-up person immediately blushed, "Boss, I'm sorry, we didn't figure it out, and I ask Director Zhang for forgiveness." ”
Director Zhang said: "Brother, you are a pioneer officer, and it is right to write about you." ”
"Director Zhang is generous, forgive you, let's go."
got on the minibus and headed for the hotel, and the pick-up person said: "Director Zhang, boss, I am the president of our company in Mongolia, called Chen Fenqiang, Erdong Chen, struggling Fen, strong and strong." ”
Wuyang said: "I haven't seen you in the company?" ”
Chen Fenqiang said: "Our company has not been established for a long time, and I was introduced to Chairman Xiong by Secretary Huang Jiming, and I have been to the headquarters twice. The boss didn't take care of the company's affairs, so he didn't have the opportunity to meet the boss. ”
"Where is the alliance where Huang Jiming serves?" Liu Bingqiu asked.
"In the middle. I went there with Secretary Huang from the company, and later Secretary Huang felt that I had a talent in management, so he recommended me to the company. ”
"What is your company doing?" Director Zhang asked.
"Director Zhang, our company is involved in a wide range of businesses, such as clothing, home appliances, electronic products, daily necessities, tourism, catering, hotels, jewelry, leather, coal, ore, meat food, real estate, etc."
"How big is the volume?" Wuyang asked.
"The company was established in March last year and has made more than 15 billion yuan for the whole year. Sales to Mongolia were more than 4 billion yuan, and purchases were 10.7 billion yuan. In the first eight months of this year, 48.6 billion has been made, and it is expected to be around 80 billion for the whole year, and it will reach 150 billion next year. ”
Director Zhang asked, "How can it develop so fast?" ”
Chen Fenqiang said: "The main business is the purchase of coal and iron ore, which is relatively large, and the purchase is more than 20 million tons, and the other is the purchase of beef, mutton and leather." The increase in sales is not very much, after all, the purchasing power here is limited. ”
Wuyang asked: "What is the price of coal and iron ore?" ”
Chen Fenqiang said: "Coal is high-quality coal, the purchase price plus freight, 100 yuan 1 ton cheaper than buying in China, iron ore iron content is slightly higher than Australia's, the price is comparable." ”
Director Zhang asked, "Brother, haven't you tried to mine yourself?" ”
"I don't know these things. Fenqiang, has our company considered mining by itself? How much tax do I have to pay if I mine it myself? ”
"The last time Mr. Qiu Xiaomu came to arrange the development of real estate, he arranged the mining of the mine, and now we have prepared the mining equipment and are negotiating with their Department of Mineral Resources. If it is to mine the mines that they have already explored, it will only be about 100 yuan cheaper than buying it if it is 120 yuan per ton of coal and 180 yuan for iron ore, plus the cost of machinery and equipment and labor wages. If we go to explore by ourselves, the tax we pay is only 20 yuan and 30 yuan per ton, which is much cheaper, but it is a long distance, and there are no roads in many places. ”
Director Zhang said: "Brother, you should explore and mine by yourself. There are no roads to build yourself, the distance is long, and the freight increases, but the cost of paying less is enough for these expenses. ”
Wuyang said: "That's nature, but I don't know if I can find the vein." Fenqiang, how is the real estate development doing now? ”
"The real estate development market here is not yet fully opened, and there is still a planned economy model. To develop a place, the government must approve the project before it can be developed, and it cannot be developed by anyone who wants to develop it, and buildings cannot be bought by anyone who wants to. However, our company has reached an agreement with the government to conduct pilot projects in major cities first. The government set aside a piece of land, we bought it and built a house, and the government bought it at a low price and then sold it to the residents. ”
"Isn't that a low price?"
"Yes. According to the agreement between the company and the government, the land price is 1,000 yuan per hectare, which is equivalent to 1 yuan per square meter, and the price of a house is 1,500 yuan per square meter in Ulaanbaatar, and the lowest price in other cities is only 1,200 yuan. ”
Director Zhang said: "Then each square meter is a profit of 200 yuan? ”
"Yes, it's a little higher, and the highest won't exceed 500 yuan, but fortunately, it's all staircase rooms, and if it's an elevator room, it's going to be a loss. Our plate is very large, and there is still a certain profit margin. If a good reputation is established, it should be very promising as the main force in urban construction in the future. ”
Director Zhang said: "Brother, your employees are still very capable of making money. ”
Wuyang said: "The total population of Mongolia is less than 2.6 million, and many of them still live in remote pastoral areas. In my opinion, it is better to talk than nothing, and our focus is still on resources. ”
Chen Fenqiang said: "Boss, you are right to focus on resources, but you should not underestimate real estate development. I won't talk about the city, the company built more than 20,000 herdsmen's houses in remote pastoral areas in the summer and autumn of last year and this summer, all of which are bungalows and relatively large in area, especially the houses for livestock in winter, which have a large area and a relatively simple structure. The company charges 800 yuan per square meter of contracted labor and materials, and each set is more than 1,000 square meters. Once the house is built, we can also sell them solar water heaters, televisions and satellite dishes. Because of our flexible strategy, herders can pay with their cattle, sheep and wool, and they are culling some of the old and weak animals for a very low price. The cattle we accept cost 6 or 7,000 yuan in the interior of our country, and here, that is, about 3,000 yuan, an old sheep, they cost 100 yuan, and if the mutton is transported back, it is worth 30 yuan and 1 catty, more than 2,000 yuan, as well as sheepskin and wool, which are also what we need, and how many heads make money. ”
"Okay, you're right, just run it your way."
The minibus turned into the courtyard in front of a building, and Chen Fenqiang said, "Director Zhang, boss, we have arrived." (To be continued......)
