Chapter 195: Surprised
"Director Chen, did you make all of this?" Knowing that the situation in front of him was actually caused by Chen Mingren, Cai Ye unconsciously used honorifics. For those who did it before him, Cai Yi admired it from the bottom of his heart, especially Chen Mingren was obviously older than him, but he was more courageous and determined than him, these things made him sincerely ashamed.
"I didn't do all of this, and if it wasn't for the chairman's support, the work wouldn't have gone so smoothly." Chen Mingren shook his head, he didn't take all the credit for himself, although Fan Wei didn't have any real power at the moment, he also needed respect.
"Where, if it weren't for the sincerity and effort, there would be no current situation." Fan Wei also waved his hand quite modestly, he knew very well how many catties he had.
"Oh?" Cai Ye couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw that the two of them were actually humble to each other, and after a pause, he hurriedly said: "I think Brother Fan and Uncle Chen, you don't have to be modest, the people of Guizhou have the blessing of the two of you who have cultivated for eight lifetimes, and where are we like the people of Yunnan I don't know if it will be bad luck for eight lifetimes to meet me, the governor who doesn't care about anything." β
"Cai Dudu is humble."
"Okay, you don't have to be modest, I know very well how much I can do. For the next few questions, Songpa, you should ask Shoucheng, who is more professional than me. Fan Wei saw Cai Ye speak, just to change the topic.
"Oh, I'm welcome." Cai Yi's eyes lit up, and he was not modest, and immediately pointed to the big scene of construction in front of him and asked: "Uncle Chen, I want to know, how much money do you need to make such a big scene, our military and political axe, as far as I know, our Guizhou political axe has just been reading for a long time, and there should not be much financial support." β
These two questions have always haunted Cai Yi's mind, and after he took control of Yunnan, he didn't think about construction. But you have to move your whole body, and the military and political axe has just been established, and there is not much money, and it is basically very difficult to do one thing well. Sometimes the money for raising troops may not be enough, and the financial problem is probably a problem that all provincial capital leaders except Guizhou need to consider and embarrass about.
It is precisely because of such difficulties that Cai Ye will feel surprised, shocked, and even envious after seeing the construction of Guizhou in full swing. After Cai Yi's question came out, the accompanying Yunnan officials also looked at Chen Mingren, the director of the Finance Bureau in Guizhou.
Facing so many gazes, Chen Mingren, who had experienced all kinds of things, said with the same face: "The governor should know this, our Minister of Foreign Relations should have told you before, investing in such a road, our political axe spent about 100 million silver dollars." β
"Shhh
After receiving Chen Mingren's words confirmed by the director of the Finance Bureau, the representatives from Yunnan couldn't help but inhale one by one, and let out bursts of surprise again. This number, those people almost dare not think about it, where do they think of the Guizhou side, their faces have not changed when they say it.
"100 million silver dollars...... Cai Yi's eyes widened again, and he was shocked by this number again.
"But, as far as I know, cough cough" Cai Yi coughed, causing Chen Liqing to look at him curiously again.
"Your Guizhou's finances don't seem to be optimistic?" Cai Ye coughed and continued to ask.
"Our financial problems in Guizhou." Chen Mingren and Fan Wei glanced at each other, Chen Mingren hesitated and said: "Governor Cai, if you want to understand our Guizhou's finances, I'm afraid it won't be able to explain it clearly for a while." β
"I'm afraid that these comrades from our budget bureau need to be able to explain clearly to Cai Dudu, and I can't tell you about the specific financial issues." It's not that Chen Mingren and Fan Wei have to consciously avoid this problem, but this kind of advanced cheating general currency management, Chen Mingren and they really can't explain it.
"Still can't tell?" Cai Ye couldn't help frowning, and he looked at Dai Huan unconsciously, a little disappointed.
"Okay, let's bring it up another day." Cai Ye was not entangled in this, and pointed to some workers on the construction site again: "On the way from Xingyi, we also followed those fellow villagers all the way, and we knew that they were here to work on the way, so I want to ask, if these people come to help repair the road, won't the spring plowing in the coming year be delayed?" Also, how much do we pay them? β
"Spring ploughing is not delayed, wages, we have regulations, ordinary workers one yuan a day, skilled workers three yuan a day, foreman a day twenty yuan, all have different levels of wages." Chen Mingren is still very clear about this.
"Or is it a tiered salary?" Cai and the others were once again surprised by the way Chen Mingren paid their salaries.
The group walked and talked like this, and Cai Ye and his party also went from being surprised and curious at the beginning to carefully observing and learning after understanding things.
At the end of the day's study visit, Cai had even made up his mind that when he returned to Yunnan, he would try to build a road.
In the evening, Guiyang VIP Building.
After an initial day of official visits and meetings with some celebrities and predators in Guizhou, Cai and his entourage returned to the high-standard accommodation arranged for them by Fan Wei.
It was late at night, and on the first night in Guiyang, Cai Ye did not feel a trace of sleepiness, thinking about everything he saw today, Cai Ye could not close his eyes for a long time.
Everything I saw today is beyond Cai Yi's imagination, and anyone who sees an unimaginable picture will not be able to sleep.
"Xunruo, how do you feel about today's visit?" It's not just Cai Ye who can't sleep, but also his good classmate Mr. Dai Huan. Seeing such a huge change in Guiyang, Guizhou, as a local, Dai Huan's shock is no less than Cai Yi.
"The overall feeling is very shocked, Songpa, to be honest, the moment I saw Guiyang today, I was really shocked, especially the road outside Guiyang City, which not only shocked me, but also scared me."
"yes, it scared me too, who would have thought that they would have so much courage and so much money." Cai Yi sighed again.
"100 million, Xunruo, did you understand the theory that Chen Mingren asked Hua Zhihong and his son Chen Liqun to explain about the financial system and the surname of monetary equivalents?" Cai Ye sighed, and couldn't help but think of Chen Mingren's answer to the financial question at the dinner again.
"I don't understand." Dai Jian was not ashamed, and shook his head directly. Fiscal problems, monetary problems are simply too profound for him.
"I didn't understand either." Cai Yi nodded with a wry smile, and then said: "However, Fan Wei reminded me that in order to govern a province well, the first important thing is to recruit financial talents. It seems that if I want to go back to Yunnan and copy them, my first priority is to recruit financial talents. β
"It's just that we don't have this kind of talent in our country." Cai Yi shook his head, he deeply knew the important surname of talents, but at this stage, most talents were not willing to come to these remote places in the southwest at all. And even if you come, cooperation with the locals will become a problem.
"And even if we do, I'm afraid we won't know how to use it." Cai soon found out that he was an idiot in one way. Suddenly, he realized that he didn't know how to govern the province well.
Dai Jian sighed when he looked at his old classmate like this, and he didn't know how to comfort him. He himself was immersed in a sense of powerlessness.
The two were silent, but soon, Cai Yi sorted out his mood again.
"Don't think about this question yet, by the way, Xunruo, did you find it, the relationship between Fan Wei and Chen Mingren today doesn't seem to be normal. Although Fan Wei claims to be the chairman of Guizhou, I always feel that he is jealous of Chen Mingren, the director of the financial bureau. β
"Yes, I found out about this problem as well." Dai Jian nodded and said: "Moreover, Songpo, I also found out while chatting with others, this Chen family's power in Guiyang is really not ordinary. Not only Chen Mingren has an overview of Guizhou's finances, but his eldest son Chen Lijun is also the commander of the army that was responsible for besieging Tang Jiyao some time ago, and although his second son Chen Liqun is not in Guizhou's political circles, he is the president of the Bank of China and the son-in-law of Hua Zhihong, the richest man in Guizhou. At the same time, Chen Mingren's brother-in-law, Wang Youzhi, is also the commander of the two armies in southern and southeastern Guizhou, and their Chen family can be said to have people in both military and political circles in Guizhou. Dai Huan told a lot of the news he had heard.
When Cai Ye heard this, he was surprised and said: "No wonder I feel that Fan Wei is a little afraid of Chen Mingren, it turns out that the Chen family's power is so big in Guiyang?" β
"And that's not all." Dai Jian then said: "I also inquired about the current situation in Guizhou, which can be regarded as the Chen family's ** indulgence." Dai Jian then roughly talked about some of the situation of the Chen family when they were studying in Guizhou.
"No wonder, no wonder Fan Wei was a little jealous of Chen Mingren, it turned out that all this was the result of the Chen family's ** indulgence." Suddenly realizing that there was such a hidden force in Guizhou, Cai Ye couldn't help but be surprised.
"However, the rise of this Chen family is not due to luck." Cai Ye didn't have any special feelings of dislike for the rise of Chen Mingren's family. Becoming a king and defeating a king, and everything he did after the Chen family took control of Guizhou was what he wanted to do, Cai Ye still admired Chen Mingren in his heart.
"If you have time, I really want to meet Pingyue, the hometown of the Chen family, that Fan Wei said today." After learning all this, Cai Ye became more and more curious about the place where the Chen family rose.
At the same time, the Chen family in Guiyang did not sleep.
The men of Chen Mingren's family gathered together again at this time, Chen Liqing and Chen Lileng were impressively listed.
"Let's talk about it, what is your impression of this Cai Ye today?" Chen Mingren looked at his sons.
"I don't feel like a soldier like this Cai Yi, from him, I don't see a trace of military temperament, but I feel that he is more like a scholar." Chen Lijun immediately stated his first impression of Cai Ye, from the perspective of a soldier.
Chen Mingren nodded, Cai Ye is like that, he really doesn't look like a soldier, on the contrary, he is a little elegant.
"I feel that this Cai Ye is very modest and serious." Chen Liqun said: "When I told him the theory of money circulation at the previous dinner, I could see that he couldn't understand it, but he listened to me very hard, and there was no trace of impatience on his face. β
"This point is well observed, and I also think Cai Ye is a humble person." Chen Mingren nodded thoughtfully, Cai Ye was able to open his mouth to call him Uncle Chen, which showed that Cai Ye was a person who could afford to let go.
"What do I say to Cai Yi?" Chen Lileng just came back, and he didn't know Cai Ye before, today is the first time they met, Chen Lileng said tentatively: "I saw Cai Ye for the first time today, and on the whole, I feel that Cai Ye should be the kind of person who is above board, which is similar to President Huang Xinghuang in the Alliance." β
"Huang Xing?" Chen Liqing couldn't help but look at the third brother, can Huang Xing be compared with Cai Yi?
Chen Mingren also casually asked about Huang Xing's information, and Chen Lileng immediately told him some information about Huang Xing.
"From this point of view, Huang Xing is somewhat similar to Cai Yi." Chen Mingren hadn't seen Huang Xing, so he didn't comment very well, so he just commented casually, and then looked at Chen Lipin.
"Lipin, you explored Cai Ye and his party all the way today, did you find any differences between them?" Chen Mingren looked at Chen Lipin, who was fifteen years old and was already the deputy commander-in-chief of the Intelligence Bureau, and asked.
"Cai Ye is nothing unusual, but Dai Huan, who is traveling with him, has inquired about our news in Guizhou and my family from many people." Chen Lipin said, Dai Huan's little action naturally couldn't hide the eyes and ears of Chen Lipin and others.
"Oh, it seems that they may already know the general situation in Guizhou now, but I don't know if Cai Ye will continue to interfere in our internal affairs in Guizhou?" Chen Mingren looked at Chen Liqing.
There are two purposes for recruiting Cai Ye to visit Guizhou, the first is to let Cai Ye stop, regardless of Guizhou's internal affairs, and the second is to show some content of Guizhou to Cai Yi, and then seek the possibility of cooperation with Cai Yi.
After all, the climatic conditions in Guizhou are different from those in Yunnan, and there are many things in Chen Liqing's super farm that cannot be grown in Guizhou. The climate of Yunnan is just right, Xishuangbanna is still tropical, and some high-economic crops are very suitable for planting in Yunnan.
"There should be no more interference in our internal affairs in Guizhou." Facing Chen Mingren's gaze, Chen Liqing replied: "After all, Cai Ye is still a warlord with knowledge, ambition and conscience, and his previous interference was originally provoked by Guo Chongguang and them, and now that he has come to Guizhou, I believe that after getting the answer, he will make the right choice." β
Although he knew that Cai Ye had also withdrawn the order in history and asked Tang Jiyao not to continue to interfere in Guizhou's internal affairs, the current situation was different after all, and Chen Liqing did not dare to guarantee too much what Cai Ye would think of after seeing the changes in Guizhou now. The heart of defense is indispensable, Cai Ye left a strong mark in the history books, but it does not mean that he is not interested in Guizhou now.
At this point, Chen Liqing didn't dare to say too much, interfering with Chen Mingren's judgment.
"Insightful, ambitious, conscientious." But it is rare for Chen Liqing to comment on Cai Ye like this, and after Chen Mingren and the others listened, they basically had a basic judgment on Cai Ye.
"Okay, since it is possible that Cai Ye will no longer interfere in our internal affairs in Guizhou, let's discuss now how to arrange Cai Yi's itinerary next, and how to make him think about cooperating with us." Chen Mingren thought for a moment, then looked up at his sons.
It has become a common practice for the Chen family to discuss any major event, and after Chen Mingren threw out this question, Chen Lijun and the others also expressed their opinions.
"Dad, I don't have any other good suggestions, but can I arrange for Mrs. Zhang to treat Cai Yi." After everyone put forward their opinions, Chen Liqing finally put forward his idea.
"Seeing a doctor? What's the matter, Xiaoqing Cai Ye is seriously ill? Chen Mingren hurriedly looked over, if it was a minor illness, Chen Liqing would never bring it up alone, so he asked this question.
Chen Liqing nodded: "I'm afraid it's possible, but I'm not sure now." β
After all, Cai Ye died suddenly three or four years later, and Chen Liqing did not know whether there was a root cause of the disease now.
"In this way, I will arrange it for you, you let Mrs. Zhang prepare well." Chen Mingren didn't ask much, and suddenly made a decision.
This night, because of Cai Yi's arrival, the Chen family slept very late. And this night, Cai Ye and Dai Jian also talked a lot about Guizhou.
After a night without incident, the next morning after Cai Ye came to Guizhou, he began to visit the surrounding environment of Guiyang again.
The day's arrangement was for Cai and his family to visit the factories and various farms under construction around Guiyang. It is also a scene of construction, but on this day, Cai Ye visited, and the shock in his heart was even greater.
"Cai Dudu, is such a pig farm, after completion, in 12 months a year, there can be three seasons of pigs, each season can produce 2,000 pigs, a year is 6,000. Sold for a dime per catty of pork, a head of 300 catties, 6,000 heads can bring 180,000 silver dollars to this pig farm. The investment of the entire pig farm is less than 10,000 silver dollars, which can bring the employment of hundreds of workers, drive the development of several industries, and feed at least 3,000 people. Cai Ye and his entourage came to a pig farm under construction, listening to Zhang Xianmo's introduction, Cai Ye and his party couldn't help but be surprised.
How did they know that a pig farm could have such a big effect.
"Three thousand, 180,000 silver dollars, you put in 10,000 silver dollars?" After the shock, Cai Ye hurriedly asked a lot of questions.
Where is this pig raising, it is clearly to open a small money bank.
"Yes, from piglets to pigs, as well as the wages of personnel, the investment in equipment is nearly 10,000 silver dollars." Zhang Xianmo's tone made Cai Yi and his party very itchy.
If they had 10,000 silver dollars, they would have brought in armaments or something like that, and where would they have used them to raise pigs. Is this Guizhou political axe really that rich?
"Then where did these 10,000 silver dollars come from?" Cai is not concerned with these, but with other aspects.
"Just the owner of the pig farm before?" Cai Yi remembered a farmer-like boss he had seen before, and he couldn't imagine that the farmer-looking old farmer could pay 10,000 silver dollars.
"Yes, the owner of this pig farm will take out a loan from our Bank of China in his name, and use 50 percent of the shares of the pig farm as collateral, and after the pig income, the profit will be divided in half with the Bank of China." Zhang Xianmo nodded and explained slightly.
"Oh, this form seems to be the loan-to-equity swap model explained by the president of your Bank of China yesterday?" Cai Yi remembered some of the contents of Chen Liqun's conversation with him yesterday.
"Yes, Cai Dudu is really sensitive." Zhang Xianmo was slightly surprised by Cai Yi's comprehension. (To be continued.) )
