Chapter 119 Quid pro quo
"Director Yang has won the award, in fact, I am still far from the realm of indifferent fame and fortune, I mean to pay attention to doing things naturally, it will come naturally, I don't deliberately pursue anything." Zhou Jianping said.
"It's better that way, it's easier to succeed when you do things without outside distractions and pressure. Mr. Zhou, I want to know how large this vegetable base is in your hometown? What kind of vegetable varieties are there? Old Yang said.
"There are 1,5600 households in Yuanba Village, the population of the whole village is about 6,000 people, and the land of the whole village is about 6,000 mu, and now 99 percent of the peasant households in the village have become vegetable farmers, and the vegetable planting area is 56,700 mu. It has planted more than 30 varieties of vegetables, including three categories of fungi, popular vegetables and fine vegetables. Zhou Jianping came one by one.
"Vegetable planting has a certain technical content, and how do you do it to turn those villagers who have a very low level of education and used to engage in traditional agricultural planting into vegetable farmers?"
"Director Yang is worthy of being the leader of the municipal government office to grasp the vegetable basket project, and the problem you are concerned about is the first problem we encountered in the construction of the vegetable base. According to Mr. Zhou, Yuanba Village is located in a remote location, poor and backward, the villagers are illiterate and semi-illiterate, the villagers have no more than half of the villagers with primary school education, and less than five percent of them have graduated from junior high school. Zhao Xinmei interjected.
"So, I'm curious about how these villagers learned to grow vegetables."
"In order to solve this problem, we initially wanted to engage in technical cooperation with the Municipal Institute of Agricultural Sciences, but their budget was too high, it was simply staggering, so we simply contacted the technical personnel under the Institute of Agricultural Sciences, hired two technicians as technical consultants, under their training and guidance, layer by layer, gradually rolled out, and selected two villagers in each natural village who were initially Chinese for key training, early technical guidance and demonstration operations need to be done by the technical personnel of the Institute of Agricultural Sciences, now general technical problems, The technical staff trained in this village can solve the problem. Zhou Jianping said.
"This is a good solution, which not only saves costs, but also solves the technical problems faced by the villagers. I have an idea, because I just know your situation today, it is not necessarily mature, if your company is willing, can this vegetable base become part of the Huaxing City vegetable basket project? Deputy Director Yang said.
To be honest, whether it is a part of the vegetable basket project, what should Jiansheng Food Company do, but it has an absolute relationship with Deputy Director Yang's political achievements! It's exciting to think about it, without much effort, without even going to the scene once, without shedding a drop of sweat, to attribute such a large vegetable base to his own name, what a stroke it will be on Deputy Director Yang's career resume!
At this point, of course Zhou Jianping and Zhao Xinmei can see it clearly, do you need a vegetable base as your political achievement? Yes, but he has to come up with some quid pro quo, if he wants to empty the gloves of the white wolf, Zhou Jianping will not hesitate to refuse, he will not care about the relationship with these officials, because he doesn't want to lean on it at all!
"Director Yang, it is an honor to be part of the Huaxing City Vegetable Basket Project, of course, it is very good. But our vegetable base has been built, among them, Jiansheng Food Company has invested a lot of financial resources, manpower and energy, attributed to the government's vegetable basket project, I don't know what benefits to the enterprise? Zhao Xinmei said euphemistically.
Lao Yang has been immersed in politics for many years, no matter how euphemistic Zhao Xinmei's words are, he can also hear the meaning, originally, there is no connection with the vegetable basket project, people's vegetable bases are still built, you have neither seedlings and seeds, nor watering and fertilizing, now you just want to pick fruits, how can there be such a good thing?
"I plan to organize relevant institutions and personnel to hold an on-site meeting in Yuanba Village to publicize the vegetable base and your deeds and expand the visibility of the enterprise." Lao Yang thought that this was a good thing that the company could not ask for.
"Director Yang of this ----,, the on-site meeting will be talked about later, we are currently preparing for equipment commissioning and linkage testing, and the company still has a lot of things to do, and we really don't have the time and energy to accompany us." Zhou Jianping politely rejected Lao Yang's kindness.
Zhao Xinmei knew Zhou Jianping's thoughts, she didn't want to beat around the bush, so she said bluntly: "Director Yang, what are the support policies for other units that have been selected for the municipal government's vegetable basket project?" ”
Lao Yang still doesn't know about the enterprise, he thinks that giving some honor can make the enterprise satisfied, this trick may work for state-owned enterprises, for private enterprises, who cares about those superficial impetuous things? Can honor or fame be spent as money?
In the face of Zhou Jianping's refusal and Zhao Xinmei's question, Lao Yang knew what the other party was interested in, "There are some support policies, but there are also conditions attached." Lao Yang was thinking about how to do more with less.
"May I ask Director Yang, what conditions are attached?" Zhou Jianping then asked.
Lao Yang replied, "The main thing is that your vegetable base is an unplanned project of the government. ”
"Director Yang means that if it is not in the government's plan, it is not eligible for policy support, is that true? If so, we have nothing more to say. Come, drink! Zhou Jianping picked up the cup and touched Lao Yang's wine glass, and took a big sip himself.
Zhao Xinmei heard what Zhou Jianping meant, if you don't get support, there is no need to talk about it further, and Lao Yang doesn't want to use this as your political achievement. "Director Yang, the construction of our vegetable base depends on the company's own investment, which has saved the government a lot of money, and such corporate behavior should be encouraged!" Zhao Xinmei said.
"According to the concept of previous years, corporate behavior without the permission of the government is offside, so everything can only be done with the government's nod and consent. Our vegetable base belongs to this type. Zhou Jianping said angrily.
"No, Jiansheng Food's clean vegetable project has been established in the Municipal Planning Commission, although the construction of vegetable base has not been approved separately, but it is a sub-project of the entire new project, and it should also belong to the project, so it is not accurate to say that it is an unplanned project of the government." Zhao Xinmei is the specific manager of the project, and she knows the details clearly.
Finally seized an opportunity to improve his political performance, Lao Yang was naturally unwilling to give up easily, and after listening to Zhao Xinmei tell the truth of the matter, he immediately said: "If this is the case, it is a planned project, and we will consider giving support." ”
After Lao Yang expressed his position, Zhou Jianping's attitude also changed a little, "Director Yang, when we are busy with this period, in a month or two, you are welcome to go to Yuanba Village for an on-site meeting." ”
That's right, this is an exchange, Zhou Jianping is a pragmatist, Lao Yang, don't you want to use my things as political achievements? OK! But you have to come up with the exchange chips, otherwise there is no need to talk. Don't fool people with those useless honors, I, Zhou Jianping, am not a primary school student wearing a red scarf!
After the two sides reached an intention, the wine bureau was coming to an end, and after chatting for a while, the guests withdrew one after another, and when leaving, Deputy Director Yang told Zhao Xinmei that she should prepare a report on the situation of the vegetable base and report it to him as soon as possible.
......
After the road was repaired, many villagers in Yuanba Village, who worked in Jiansheng Food Company, bought motorcycles, and the workers who worked in three shifts, as long as they did not count nine cold days, no longer lived in the company's collective dormitory after work, but rode motorcycles back to their hometowns to help their families work in the vegetable fields. Less than 40 kilometers away, the commute takes up to two hours. With their help, these families are able to grow vegetables more profitably.
Whenever you hear the roar of motorcycles and see a long line of motorcycles driving in or out of Yuanba Village from far and near or from near and far, the first feeling that this beautiful scenery gives outsiders is that the lives of the villagers in Yuanba Village have changed dramatically.
After the completion of the vegetable base, the agricultural technicians trained in each natural village have also grown up one after another, and Zhou Jianping no longer worries about this matter, and he does not need to ask about the purchase and transportation of vegetables, and Zhou Jianping has much less time to return to the village than before.
Chang Yuling took the child and planted vegetables in the two acres of land at home, and she was also happy, she knew that her husband Zhou Jianping's affairs were getting bigger and bigger, and she was happy to say that she was happy, after all, Zhou Jianping was the child's father, and if you want to say that Zhou Jianping's affairs have nothing to do with you, it is not just an angry word, since Zhou Jianping has been doing business by himself, he has almost never mentioned it to Chang Yuling, let alone discussed. Yes, Chang Yuling is a rural woman, she doesn't understand anything, and it is in vain to talk to her, Chang Yuling is self-aware, but she never takes the initiative to inquire about topics that Zhou Jianping does not take the initiative to mention.
In real life, such couples are not uncommon, both parties are busy with each other, do not interfere with each other, do not care about each other, it is not an exaggeration to say that their marriage exists in name only, and it is only for some reason that the marriage maintains this superficial form.
After being busy for a while, one day Zhou Jianping suddenly remembered that his son Maomao was more than three years old and had reached the age of kindergarten in the city. Zhou Jianping shook his head, he hadn't been home for nearly two months, and on the weekend, he asked the driver to send him back to his hometown.
The courtyard door is locked, needless to say, Yuling must be working in the vegetable field with Maomao.
Since one time he couldn't enter the house, Zhou Jianping ran to the field to find Chang Yuling, and after arguing on the spot over trivial family matters, Chang Yuling gave him a key, so that he would not go to the field to find her again when he went home in the future.
Opening the courtyard door, Zhou Jianping entered the house, he walked around, not knowing what to do. He was in this home for a short time and was relatively unfamiliar with everything in the house.
Just as he was at a loss, he heard a child outside the door, "Mom, the door is open." "Obviously, this is my son Maomao talking.
"yes, how did the door open? Maomao don't go in, let mom go in and have a look. Chang Yuling became alert.
Chang Yuling entered the courtyard gate and saw Zhou Jianping coming out of the house, "It's you?" I thought someone had opened the door. ”
"Who else but me?" Zhou Jianping deliberately teased.
"Who else do you say? I thought I was a thief. Chang Yuling was telling the truth, she shouted outside the courtyard gate: "Don't be afraid, Maomao, come in, your father is back." ”
"Nonsense, where did the thief come from? It's an early day to call it a day. ”
"Now it's different from growing food, there's just some work in the vegetable field, and when I'm done, I go home."
The expressions of the two of them were lukewarm, no different from ordinary colleagues in the unit, and it was impossible to tell that they were a husband and wife who had not seen each other for more than a month.
