"Oh, you're making bamboo crafts now, right?" Jiang Lao took the unfinished handicraft from an old man, this is a fruit basket woven with fine bamboo strips, although it has not been fully completed, but it can also be seen that this thing is exquisitely made, "Good craftsmanship, this fruit basket is beautiful." ”

"It's almost made up, if you like it, leader, I'll get it for you." The old man was very happy to hear that the leader liked his craft.

"Then I can't take it for nothing, Toho, how much are you going to sell this thing for? I'll pay for it! Jiang Lao really liked this fruit basket a little, and he was going to ask the secretary to pay for it, "Also, Dongbao, how did you come up with the idea of using this thing to earn foreign exchange?" ”

"Didn't I read it in the newspaper? Said that Dongyang wood carving was well received at the Canton Fair and earned a lot of foreign exchange for the country, I thought, although our village does not know wood carving, but these elders do bamboo weaving and bamboo carving are a good hand, maybe they can also go to the Canton Fair to exchange foreign exchange. "Although the reform only began in 79, the Canton Fair began in 1957.

In the early days of the Canton Fair, because China's industrial development was relatively backward, there was a lack of industrial products for export, but handicraft products were very well received by developed countries and regions, Dongyang wood carving was one of the leaders, and so Shen Long found bamboo weaving and bamboo carving handicrafts in the village after several old people, he immediately thought of this.

It is also common for industrially backward countries to rely on tourism and handicrafts to earn foreign exchange, in the era when Shenlong crossed over, the big guys went to Nepal, Cambodia and other countries to travel, and they would definitely not bring industrial products back, but most of them would bring some handicrafts with local characteristics, and the market was still relatively broad.

"Dongbao, although your method is good, but the province can't give you support, the number of places to go to the Canton Fair is limited, and I have to take care of those large enterprises and enterprises that have already had successful experience." Jiang Lao hesitated, of course he knew that he would exchange handicrafts for foreign exchange, but now not everyone can go to the Canton Fair, and Xiao Lei's family will definitely not be able to get this qualification.

"It's okay, I've heard too, many people bring their own things to the outside of the Canton Fair and wait for opportunities, I'm also learning English with my daughter-in-law these days, and I'll take my things to the door to guard when the time comes." Don't be afraid, as long as I go to the Canton Fair, I will definitely be able to sell things, and there are not many people who understand the preferences of foreigners better than me.

"You still learn English?" Jiang Lao was completely convinced, "Oh, with the opening up of our country, there are more and more places where English can be used, but there are not many people around me who can speak English, let them learn without worry, this time I should really bring them all here, let them see, Dongbao, you are a farmer learning English, they are embarrassed not to work hard?" ”

"Come, Toho, tell us a few words and see how well you learn?" Magistrate Xu was also very surprised, I don't know English, I studied Russian in college.

Shen Long opened his mouth and came, "WelcomeMr.Jiangtoinvestigate.Xiaoleijiacannotgetrichwithoutthesupportofsuperiorleaders." ”

finished scratching his head, "I asked my daughter-in-law to send a dictionary to teach me in advance, and I will only use the simplest hello, howmuch, or something." ”

"Haha, it's like it's going on, tell me, what did Toho just say?" Jiang Lao was immediately happy, and a secretary who knew English next to him helped him translate, "Secretary Dongbao said, you are welcome to come and inspect, the Xiaolei family can not get rich without the support of the superior leaders; Although Secretary Toho's grammar is a little problematic, the pronunciation is still very accurate. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Lao was even happier, "Oh, I've heard people say similar things to me over the years, but it's the first time in English!" Just rush this, I have to support it! ”

"Come, Dongbao, tell me, what help do you little Lei family need right now? Oh, the Canton Fair can't be done, the province has long had a unified plan for this, and now it's August, and the list has already been decided. Jiang Lao said that Shen Long gave him too many surprises today, and he now has a sentence in his heart: A good comrade like Lei Dongbao must be supported.

It's just that the Canton Fair is divided into spring and autumn, and the autumn one is held in mid-October, and the units that the province is going to go to are indeed decided, and he really can't help in this regard, and the whole province is counting on this foreign exchange to introduce equipment.

"Can I ask you a favor? Other...... Don't spread the word that we are going to the Canton Fair, otherwise there will be more people going, and our Xiaolei family's things will not be sold. Shen Long pretended to be embarrassed and said in a slur manner.

"Haha, you, you, at this time, you will start to only care about your own interests?" Jiang Lao was happy again, Shen Long just now had always behaved not very much like a peasant, but now this sentence reflects the unique cunning of a peasant, which makes Jiang Lao feel a lot more kind.

"But you can rest assured that going to the Canton Fair in private is not a suitable thing for publicity, Xiao Zhong, don't write about this matter yet." Jiang Lao not only agreed, but also told Xinhua News Agency reporter Zhong Dajun.

Zhong Dajun also agreed, and then Shen Long made another request, "Also, I think if our Xiaolei family is lucky and can exchange for foreign exchange, can we stay and use it ourselves; Jiang Lao, I don't plan to buy anything else, but those high-achieving students from Anyun University helped me recommend several advanced machines for foreign feed production, and I want to buy them. ”

At this time, foreign exchange can not be used casually, the foreign exchange earned by each unit has to be handed over to the foreign exchange management department, and then report to the import and export company to apply for the introduction of certain equipment, if you take the right channel, such a village-run enterprise like Xiaoleijia has no chance at all.

Jiang Lao didn't think that Shen Long could get much foreign exchange, and he could still call the shots with this small amount, so he casually agreed, "Okay, as long as you can get foreign exchange, I promise to keep it for your own use." ”

"Eh, then thank you Jiang Lao; Oh, there is one more thing, when the feed mill opens, it will definitely use a little bit of the planned materials, I guarantee that the quantity will not be very large, and I will not resell it to others, just our feed mill for its own use, can you help solve it? "Although the feed mill also needs to use the planned materials, they are all trace chemical products, and the quantity is not large at all, and it is much smaller than the reinforced cement required by the prefabricated panel factory.

"That's no problem, I also want to see your Xiaolei's feed produced as soon as possible." This is also a trivial matter, not to mention Jiang Lao, County Magistrate Xu can handle it, he finally opened his mouth once, why is it such a trivial matter? "Toho, do you have any other requirements?"
